On the fateful day of 27 February 2018, Sri Saraswathi has been hospitalised, and after some time he had died..
Sri Saraswati was not cremated, and hence he was put under a Samadhi, which is also referred to as the “HOLY BRINDAVANAM”. A Tulasi tree was also planted and a Holy Shiva lingam was installed on the top, and hence his Samadhi had become a permanent shrine. Devotees from various places visited the mutt and paid homage to the late Acharya.
Saints like Guru Raghavendra, Kanchi Paramacharya and Jayendra Saraswati Swamigal are created in order to reduce the sufferings of the people, and people would also have some kind of relief, and they would think that someone is ready to protect them, in case of all situations as well as in case of emergency needs. Generally saints would recommend our needs to the gods, and make our needs fulfilled at the appropriate time.
