Starting my 2nd thread on Sringeri Parampara. This will cover the Jagadgurus after Sri Vidyaranya to Sri Shivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati.
It is really very tough to match the brilliance and achievements of Vidyaranya. After whom came 15 - Chandrashekara Bharati [1386-1389].
15-Puroshottama Bharati [1408 - 1448]
16-Shankara Bharati[1448 - 1455]
17-Chandrasekhara Bharati II [1455 - 1464]
18- Nrisimha Bharati II [1464 - 1479]
19-Puroshottama Bharati II [1479 - 1517]
21-Nrisimha Bharati III [1560 - 1573]
22-Nrisimha Bharati IV [1573 - 1576]
23-Nrisimha Bharati V [1576 - 1600]
26-Nrisimha Bharati VI [1663 - 1706]
As you may have noticed there are a lot of Nrisimha Bharatis. That is because almost all the Jagadgurus of Sringeri were / are great Narasimha upaasakas.
28-Abhinava Sacchidananda Bharati [1741 - 1767]
29-Nrisimha Bharati VII [1767 - 1770]
30-Sacchidananda Bharati III [1770 - 1814] He was the Acharya during Tippu's time.
This marks the list of Acharyas about whom we don't have much information.
He spent about 40 years in Vijaya Yatras.
He is credited with bringing order to the Sringeri Samsthanam.
He had conquered hunger and sleep.
Rest of time he spent in medidation and pooja. His intense meditation on Narasimha made ppl in awe when they saw him.
He was also called Vruddha Narasimha Bharati.
Once Acharya was visiting Madura Meenakshi temple. One of His young disciple was prevented from entering the garbha gudi.
Ammavaru in the temple felt as though Her entire shakti left her.
That boy was called Shivaswami in his purvasram. But when Urga Bharati Mahaswami gave him sanyasa he gave a boy a majestic patta [name]:
On the day the boy was given Sanyasa, the Guru asked the boy to lie down beside him and take rest. The Guru noticed the boy murmur in his sleep "sarvoham sarvoham" [I am all, i am all].
He was instrumental in finding the actual birth place of Adi Shankaracharya at Kalady.
The Maharajah of Travancore brought lands known as Kalady Samketa and placed it at SSNB's disposal.
He installed the moorthis there himself! Another major work of SSNB was rebuilding Saradamba temple at Sringeri.
He also built the Sringeri math at Bangalore. And started Bharatiya Girvana Praudha Vidya Patasala - dealing with advanced courses in nyana, tarka, mimansa etc
He was Srividya Upasaka par excellence.
It is said he could explain the 1st sloka of Soundryalahari in 100 different ways.
It was during this time that a hotel was opened at Sringeri. That day the Acharya decided not to stay in Sringeri anymore and started going across Tungabhadra to Nrisimhavanam. The Acharyas from then on have been living at Nrisimhavanam only.

The best morning routine?
Starts the night before.
9 evening habits that make all the difference:
1. Write down tomorrow's 3:3:3 plan
• 3 hours on your most important project
• 3 shorter tasks
• 3 maintenance activities
Defining a "productive day" is crucial.
Or else you'll never be at peace (even with excellent output).
Learn more
2. End the workday with a shutdown ritual
Create a short shutdown ritual (hat-tip to Cal Newport). Close your laptop, plug in the charger, spend 2 minutes tidying your desk. Then say, "shutdown."
Separating your life and work is key.
3. Journal 1 beautiful life moment
Delicious tacos, presentation you crushed, a moment of inner peace. Write it down.
Gratitude programs a mindset of abundance.
4. Lay out clothes
Get exercise clothes ready for tomorrow. Upon waking up, jump rope for 2 mins. It will activate your mind + body.
