The mutt’s three-pronged approach towards propagating Sanatan Dharma—protecting civilisational assets, enabling intellectual assets, and enriching human life and livelihood—has been phenomenal. Its Veda, Vidya and Vaidya sevas have transformed various dimensions of Bharat’s growth over the last century. Mahaswamigal’s predominant focus on protecting Vedic and other holy assets of Bharat and the 69th Sankaracharya’s social outreach through education and healthcare have made the 70th Acharya’s continuing odyssey stronger while anointing the 71st. Without compromising on rigorous religiosity despite having a punishing schedule, the Acharyas have blended spiritual and social causes in a seamless unison, cementing its headquarters in the holy town of Kanchi while spreading good deeds all over the country.With the Adi Sankara temple in Srinagar and many other temples across the country, eye hospitals in many places including Assam and Varanasi, Veda pathshalas and schools across locations, and a university for higher education and research, the Kanchi Mutt is a marvellous miscellany, true to Kalidasa’s poetic words, ‘nagereshu Kanchi (the greatest of cities being Kanchi)’.
