[Advaita-l] Inquiry Regarding Sringeri Matha’s Own Scholars and Vakyartha Sabha

[Swagata Chowdhury]

Veda Brahmarshi Sri Naveen Holla is evidently a representative of the
Sringeri Sharada Peetham,because of having received his training in the
Shastras from the Sringeri Math. Whoever learned Shastras rigorously from
Sringeri math and still has connection that person is obviously
representative of Sringeri Sharada peetham.
This is purely a matter of curiosity and carries no negative intent. My own
Guruji has himself produced many eminent scholars in Varanasi, yet he also
imparts the Shastras to me in a very simple manner, mindful of the fact
that my academic backgrounds are different and time limitation.
