History of Adi Peetha Sarvajnapeetha
History of Kailaasa Paramparagatha Adi Peetha Sarvajnapeetha Dhyana Peetha Matha
Kailaasa Paramparagatha Adi Peetha Sarvajnapeetha Dhyana Peetha Matha is the Raja Guru peetha (Guiding Seat of Enlightenment) for the regent kings and aristocracy of the region. One day, Vinayak Rao was blessed with a Divine Vision and darshan of Adi Dakshinamurthy, the Primordial incarnation of Paramasiva, wherein He revealed the form of a young Swami with a smiling face and wearing a turban and spoke thus: “I, Paramasiva have incarnated as a young Swami and have come back to adorn this Peetha and revive it.” The Peetha revealed is the Kailaasa Paramparagatha Adi Peetha Sarvajnapeetha Dhyana Peetha Matha, which has been in existence from time immemorial and where stands the sacred Banyan tree, and the revealed form of the young Swami looked exactly like none other than Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism (SPH).
Vinayak Rao shared with Sri Shantaveera MahaSwami and the administrative committee members, the Divine Darshan. Sri Shantaveera MahaSwami immediately saw in his own Divine Vision and confirmed to them that the young Swami revealed as Paramasiva’s incarnation was indeed SPH.
The committee members also identified SPH as none other than the incarnation of Paramasiva and took a unified decision to immediately handover the Kailaasa Paramparagatha Adi Peetha Sarvajnapeetha Dhyana Peetha Matha to Him and also coronate Him as head of Kolada Matha under the Kailaasa Paramparagatha Adi Peetha Sarvajnapeetha Dhyana Peetha Matha.
SPH performs the ground-breaking ceremony at Kailaasa Paramparagatha Adi Peetha Sarvajnapeetha Dhyana Peetha Matha.
