Activities of The Matha
The primary objective of the Matha is to ensure deep learning in Scriptures and tradition by the qualified seekers and living a life established in Dharma. The successive Jagadgurus have been so far come in an unbroken tradition and have themselves been quite clear living examples of high learning, and pious life besides teaching the same to their disciples. The Swamis of this matha believe themselves to be the Apostolic descendants of Adi Shankara. Preserving the tradition of Vedic learning and living a vedic life has been the central theme of this Matha so far, and it has produced many lively scholars.
A number of Vedic schools and temples are maintained by the matha across India. Besides this, the matha also runs a hospital and a few colleges. It has established branches in many parts of India. The Sharada Temple at Sringeri is managed by the Sringeri matha. There is also a library in Sringeri, with rare Sanskrit volumes, which is managed by the matha. The matha has also played an important role in preserving the natural beauty of Sringeri.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“...I have never known a “movement” in the theater that did not work direct and serious harm. Indeed, I have sometimes felt that the very people associated with various “uplifting” activities in the theater are people who are astoundingly lacking in idealism.”
—Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
