History

Community life in India is closely linked with spiritual and religious institutions for the past five thousand years. The sages have been the beacons and guiding forces in upholding the moral values of life and in the progression of society as a whole. The glorious Jagadguru Sri Veerasimhasana Mahasamsthana Math, popularly known as Sri Suttur Math is a reflection of rich tradition and culture. Jagadguru Sri Veerasimhasana Mahasamsthana Math with a long history of more than one thousand years is a multi-dimensional institution that has contributed immensely to the cause of societal advancement. The welfare activities of the Math transcend the public of all the sections of Indian society. The inscriptional pieces of evidence support the establishment of Suttur Math during the reign of the Chola kingdom. The name Shivarathri is mentioned in many ancient works. The founding of the Math can be traced to a historical event linked with Sri Shivarathreeshwara Shivayogi Mahaswamiji crusading for peace between two warring kingdoms. The hostility between King Rachamalla IV of the Gangas of Talakadu and King Rajaraja of the Chola dynasty was about to break up into a large scale war. It was due to the timely intervention of Sri Shivarathreeshwara Mahaswamiji, the hostility ended and the enemies became friends. Then, at the request of King Rajaraja Chola, Mahaswamiji graciously consented to establish a Math on the banks of the River Kapila at Suttur near Mysuru. Jagadguru Sri Eshaneshwara Wodeyar Mahaswamiji, the second pontiff, was responsible for the further development of the Suttur Math during the times of King Rajendra Chola. The Someshwara temple near the Math at Suttur is said to have been constructed by the Chola kings, in accordance with the wishes of Jagadguru Sri Eshaneshwara Wodeyar Mahaswamiji. An inscription referring to this event was dated October 23, 1032.
