Dear Divine Souls,
"Hindu Dharma" is a book published by Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan which contains English translation of two volumes of 7 volume Tamil Book "Deivatthin Kural"; which is a collection of invaluable and engrossing speeches of Sri Sri Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi MahaSwamiji. The teachings are Traditional yet modern and practically applicable, explained in simple and lucid language. They are extracted from discourses given by Paramacharya from 1907 to 1994 in Tamil and recorded by Shri Ra. Ganapati.
Paramacharya, as Swamiji is fondly called, is considered as an authority on almost all spiritual matters was 68th Shankaracharya of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham. Paramacharya became Shankaracharya at the age of 13.
Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham is not established by Adi Shankaracharya (Adi Shankara) or by his disciples. Infact the matha is much older. Adi Shankara, a master of mantra vidya and Sri Yantra sAdhanA, re-consecrated Sri Yantra of Maa KAmAkhyAdevi (Kamakhyadevi) of Kamakoti Matha. Adi Shankara was also seated on the sarvajna Peetham of Kamakoti Math. Hence this matt is also adhering to Adi Shankara tradition and has unbroken successors upto the current 69th Swami Jayendra Saraswati.
Under the Dasanami order of sanyasins, there are two types of Saraswati-s - Ananda and Indra.
e.g. with the present name would be
Swami Chandrashekhara (Indra) Saraswati
Swami Chandrashekhara (Ananda) Saraswati
When words in bracket are joined together with name it forms
Swami Chandrashekharendra Saraswati
Swami Chandrashekharaananda Saraswati
(Indra)-Saraswati belongs to Kamakoti Math.
