With reverence and gratitude to the Sri Sringeri Sharada Peetham, which has kept the lives of its Jagadgurus through the centuries and shares them with the world. What follows is the Peetham's own account, exactly as it gives it.

Sri Nityabodhaghana (834-848 A.D)

अनाद्यविद्यामुत्सार्य प्रज्ञानघनरूपताम् ।
यो बोधयति सच्छिष्यान् तं बोधघनमाश्रये ॥

He who imparts to worthy disciples the Truth – ‘Thou art the wakeful conscious Inner Self’
And thus removes the deeply ingrained delusion, I bow at the feet of that Sage Bodhaghana!

Jagadguru Sri Sri Bodhaganacharya and His successors emanated divine radiance because of their exalted spiritual state. They cultivated Bhakti in their disciples by performing daily worship of Sri Sharada and Sri Chandramoulishwara. Through both practice and teaching, they guided followers along the path of righteousness..
