c) Shree Sathyadhyanathirth P.D.(Pandarapur)

(1911-1942)

38th pontiff of Shree Uttaradhi Mutt

Brindavan at Pandarapur on the banks of the river the Bhima.

Remembered as a great " Yathi " for doing " Anna, Vidya, DhanAdhi Daanam " .

Versatile in teaching Sudhadhi Granthas, winning against Advaithas in the

debates, written many works,, distributed free of cost all granthas after

publishing them.

 

" Shree VisNu is SaRvoththama " - was the statement made by Sri

Madhacharya. To follow this without break, under any circumstances, one who

observed scrupulously was Shree Sathya Dhyana Thirtha. Encouragement to

students, protecting the Vidwans, incessant " Upadesha " debate with

DhuRVaadhis, Spending time in works, Answering questions from learned,

speaking out the right thing at the right time etc were the characteristics

of this great Saint.

 

When he took Ashram, the first success was at Kashi .

He debated with Shiva Kumara Mishra and the latter accepted the defeat.

Kashi pundits bent their head for the scholarly talent he had.

 

In 1917, at Chikkodi, he had a debate with Lokamanya Thilak for 6 days.

Thilak in his book on Gita's KaRma Rahasya, had raised certain objections on

Dvaitha .He made known to him that there were no sentences in favour of

Advaitha in the Gita. While discussing on the subject " Lokopakara in Gita " ,

the saint explained to him in detail. He said that for doing " Upakara " one

should have knowledge. The Upakara should be done to the deserving. That too

without going beyond shastras. Tilak was impressed by his explanations and

nodded his head in praise of the vyakhyana.

RE: Lokamanya Tilak and SwamigaLu

Sat, 17 Mar 2001 04:32:27 +0000

 

Sri Lokamanaya Tilak had raised some objections against Dvaita's

interpretations of Gita in his " Gita Rahasya " . Sri Sathya Dhyana swamigaLu

debated him in a place called Chikkodi and convinced him. Sri SwamigaLu also

published the same rebuttals in his marati publication " Madhwa Sudhakara " .

Sri Tilak was also very humble and had great respects for the swamiji. One

famous quote of their debate was, when SwamigaLu asked Sri Tilak to sitdown

in Chikkodi, Tilak said - " when I don't even deserve to stand in front of a

mahAjnAni like you, how can I sit down? "

I guess there are more details on this Chikkodi debate in Tatva Vaada of

October 1964. I obtained the above information from a kannada book called

" Sri Sathya Dhyanaru " published by Navarathna Narayanamurthy of Sathya

Dharma Vrunda, Bangalore.

Regards, Murthy

I have heard that Sri Satyadhyana Tirtha Swamigalu, debated with Lokamanya

Tilak. I am interested in the exact subject of the debate between the two.

Does anyone know details about this debate?

--Mokashi. "

 

Contd:

In Bombay one noted Advocate " KanE " said that DhaRma should change according

to the time. The saint did not agree. The work done by us are according to

shastras. One cannot amend or treat the work relevant to Papa(Sin) as PuNya

on account of circumstances or time. . He further says that even though

Poison is named as Amritha , it would not change its characteristics.

Papa(Sin) would remain as such. " KaNe " could not find the answer. He simply

bent his head.

 

At Kumbhakonam, a seminar with many advaithas took place. for 21 days. The

arguments and conclusions are available in his grantha " Kumbhakona Sabha

VriththaMtha:

 

For " Achara " Jnana Sadhana is the main step. Therefore he wrote a Book

called " Panchanga NiRNaya " . He invited a number of astrologers writing

panchangams to assemble at Dharwad. . All of them discussed his works. They

unanimously agreed that what the saint said was " PramaNa Bhadhdha " .

Sampradhaya Parishudhdha. Therefore it appealed to all and had the

consensus of all Shasragnas.

To spread the Madhwa sidhdhantha he undertook tours like Shree Anandha

thirtha. His scholarly mind, vast knowledge in Shastras, oratory,

intelligence, his dignified arguments, eloquence, dignified way of handling

situations and discussing the points at the debate, convincing everybody

about what Madwar had told ,made people to award him the title

" Abhinavanadha thirtha. "

with golden jubilee(50 years) of Sri SathyaDhyana Thirtharu, entering
