Seer calls on Amritanandamayi
The Hindu
As part of a campaign for Soundarya Lahari Upasana
As part of a campaign for Soundarya Lahari Upasana, Shankara Bharathi Swamy, head of the Yedathore Sri Yoganandeshwara Saraswathi Matt, called on spiritual leader Mata Amritanandamayi at her ashram here on Wednesday.
The visit was followed by a discourse on ‘Gurubhakti’ and ‘Sadhana’. Shankara Bharathi Swamy is a disciple of Shankaracharya Bharathi Tirtha Mahaswamiji of Sringeri Sharada Peetha. “I have been hearing a lot about Amma’s ashram and finally I was able to visit the place as part of the campaign for Soundarya Lahari Upasana. Amma and ashram have been very supportive towards our endeavours and I could share our plan with her,” he said.
The seer was accompanied by Haribrahmendrananda Tirtha Maharaj from Uttarkashi, Krishnatmananda Saraswati Swamiji from the Dayananda Ashram in Palakkad and Ajay Kumar of the Saundarya Lahari Upasana Mandali, among others.

Mangaluru-Bengaluru National Highway 75, and Mani (Mangaluru) - Mysuru NH 275 have been in various stages of development for the past many years. These highways often are closed during heavy rains. The Mangaluru-Hassan rail connectivity too gets disturbed during heavy rains. In such a situation, air fares between Mangaluru and Bengaluru shoot up, going up to ₹10,000 per person.

According to the organisers of the event, Karman Week 2025 will highlight India’s leadership in public-private partnerships, climate-focused space applications, and international cooperation. The program will include direct engagements with the Indian space sector, alongside curated cultural activities and a nature-based leadership retreat.
