Sree Sankara And Sree Sarada Temples with Sakthi Vinayaka
Adi Shankara- Janmabhoomi (Birth place) Temple:-
Adi Shankara was born in Kalady as the only son of Sivaguru and Aryamba, a Namboothiri couple. Shankara's shrine at Kalady, run by the Sringeri Mutt, is a large, partly open structure situated right on the northern bank of the river Periyar or Purna. Of the two major shrines within, one is dedicated to Sri Sankaracharya and the other to Goddess Saradamba, the main deity of Sringeri. The samadhi of Sri Sankara's mother, Aryamba, is also located here. A small shrine to Vinayaka, or Ganapati, is the scene of evening prayers, chanted to the rhythmic ringing of cymbals. The worship in these temples is done by Tamil or Kannada Smartha Brahmins and not by Nampoothiris.

  • A Serene abode for peace. Meditate, thin into the eternal bliss.
  • I visited the Sringeri Mutt Kalady and the Sree Krishna Temple on 8 8 08 and the holy birth place of Sri Adi Sankara is a place to be seen by every person in life time. Very nice, and all the persons accompanied me also realised it.
  • I visited Sree Adi Shankaracharya Janmabhoomi Kshetram in October, 2013, the holy place is peaceful and gives mental peace to the pilgrims
