H.H Sri Vijayendra Saraswati Swami (Jr. Sankaracharaya) Birth details

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

Some basic info about The Jr. Sankaracharya swamigal is given from

Kanchi Kamakoti website which gives birth details of the Junior

Pontiff is as follows.

 

 

H.H. Sri Shankara Vijayendra Saraswathi Swamigal

 

When the Senior Pontiff of the Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam, His

Holiness Jagadguru Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati Swami crossed

into Andhra Pradesh, in April 1983 after camping at Mahagon in

Maharashtra for several months, the then Chief Minsiter, Sri N.T.

Rama Rao, received Him with full honours at Kasturipalli village in

Mahabubnagar district. Little did the people know on that day, that

very soon they would be having darshan of a new Shankaracharya.

 

A month later, His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Jayendra Saraswati Swami

selected His successor. The fourth son of Sri Krishnamurthy Sastri

and Smt. Ambalakshmi, Telugu Brahmins who had settled in Tandalam

Village, off Periyapalayam near Ponneri,

was born on,

 

March 18, 1969

Place of Birth:Tandalam

Latitude (DMS): 13° 9' 17 N

Longitude (DMS): 79° 57' 17 E

with His birth-star as "Uttaraashada" (Actually it should be U.

Bhadrapada)This is an error in website.

 

He was named Sankaranarayanan. He was called "Sankaran" by the

members of the family. It is again a divine coincidence that one who

was destined to become a Shankaracharya was named Sankaran, long

before anybody knew that He was to become a Pontiff of the Sri Kanchi

Kamakoti Mutt.

 

 

If anyone has his birth time , it would be great.
