Mutt's 550-Year Journey: Faith, Migration, Divine Finds
2 Dec
Summary
- The mutt's name signifies its history of faith, migration, and divine discoveries.
- Three sacred idols were found in Nepal's Shila river, shaping the mutt's sites.
- The establishment of the Partagal mutt followed divine revelations for idol installation.
As Shree Samsthan Gokarn Partagali Jeevottam Mutt marks its 550th anniversary, its distinctive name reflects a rich history of faith and movement. Founded in 1475 AD by Shreemad Narayan Teerth Swami in Bhatkal, the institution's legacy is deeply intertwined with the life of its third pontiff, Jeevottam Swami.
Jeevottam Swami's extensive travels led to a profound discovery in Nepal's Shila river, where three significant idols were found. These divine findings prompted the establishment of new centers for the mutt, including one at Gokarn, known as the 'Kashi of the south,' and others in Basrur.
The final element of the mutt's identity was shaped by the sixth pontiff, Shreemad Ramchandra Teerth Swami. Divine messages guided the installation of newly unearthed idols of deities like Ramchandra and Sita at Partagal, which then became the mutt's principal sanctuary, solidifying its enduring spiritual tradition.
