Shrimad Samyamindra Thirtha Swami (born 12 September 1982), also referred to as Shri Samyamindra Thirtha Swamiji, became the head (Mathadipathi) of the Kashi Math on 28 January 2016. [1] He is the 21st successive person called the swamiji of guru parampara.

Early life

He was born as Umesh Mallan on 12 September 1982 to Surendra Mallan, who was a technical officer with the Naval Physical and Oceanographic Laboratory at Kochi, and Nindila. He learned basic shastras from his grandfather Gopalakrishna Mallan. He was a 19-year old second year BCom student when he decided on pursuing sanyasa and submitted his horoscope details to Thirumala Devaswom for the position of patta shishya of Kashi Math without seeking the permission of his parents. [2]

Shishya Sweekar

His horoscope had the characteristics (viz. sanyasa yoga and uthama raja yoga) [2] to become a pontiff. This helped Shri Sudhindra Thirtha Swamiji to select him out of 48 horoscopes. Shri Sudhindra Thirtha Swamiji, then Mathadhipati of Shree Kashi Math Samsthan initiated him into Sanyas on the banks of the Holy River Ganga at Haridwar on Jyeshta Shuddha Dashami, 20 June 2002 and was named Shrimath Samyamindra Thirtha Swamiji. The proclamation was put into effect by Shri Sudhindra Thirtha Swamiji on the day of Vyasa Jayanthi (Guru Poornima).

Ritual education

The Sudha Mangalotsava of Samyamindra Tirtha was celebrated at Bangalore Shri Kashi Math Samsthan on Madhwa Navami day on 24 January 2010. The ceremony marks the end of a period of training in the tenets of the organisation. [3]

Head of Kashi Math

Shrimath Sudhindra Thirtha Swamiji, the predecessor of Shrimath Samyamindra Thirtha Swamiji as mathadipathi, attained moksha on 17 January 2016. [4] In accordance with the guru–shishya tradition followed by the math, he had previously initiated Samyamindra as the shishya who would succeed him upon his death and thus Samyamindra became the new mathadipathi. He officially took charge on 28 January 2016 at Vyasashram, Haridwar. [5]

Mokkam and Thrikala Pooja

The principal deities of Kashi Math are charaprathishta (“moving installation") idols of Vyasa, Rama and Narasimha, who are also collectively known as the Vyasa Raghupathi Narasimha. [6] Samyamindra Thirtha will be travelling to various cities in India and camping which is called as Mokkam at Temples/Branch Maths. They also offer the daily pujas which is called as Thrikala Pooja. The usual camp duration at each city ranges from 2 days to 10 days except for Chathurmasya Vrutha and Vasanthothsava. During Chathurmasya Vrutha, they will be camping at a single city or place for 4 months and during Vasanthothsava, it will be 45 days.
