VISIT OF THE JAGADGURU SRI SANKARACHARYA OF SRINGERI
His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Sankaracharya of the Sāradā
Pitha, Sringeri Matha, Mysore, visited the Ramnagar Fort in
the evening of May 3 on the occasion of his visit to Varanasi.
His Highness Maharaja Dr. Vibhuti Narain Singh welcomed
the distinguished guest. His Highness also performed the pāda
pujā of the Padukas (Sandals) with the help of the Pandits of
the Sringeri Matha. Pt. Rajesvara Sastri was also present.
After the Pāda-pūja the prasāda was distributed and blessings
were given by His Holiness. His Holiness was also pleased to
bless the young Mahārājakumar who was in his Brahmacari-
vesha, whose Yajnopavita ceremony had been performed a few
months before.
The Kashiraj Trust presented a set of its twelve publi-
cations to His Holiness as a mark of respect. In his letter of
June 17, 1967 the Private Secretary to His Holiness acknowledges
the receipt of these publications and further writes that 'His
Holiness is immensely glad to find that the Purāṇa Department
of the Kashiraj Trust has done very useful work'.
The Nandi-Nāgarī Manuscript of the Vāmana-Purāṇa was
procured by us from the Sringeri Matha Library. The Trust
very much grateful to His Holiness for his generous help and
co-operation, and hopes that the same will be available to the
Trust in future also.
