BRIDGEWATER, March 9, 2002: Over 100 devotees from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Maryland gathered on March 9 at Bridgewater Temple Community Center, New Jersey, braving morning cold, to take part in the 33rd Jayanti Celebrations of Sri Sankara Vijayendra Saraswati Swamiji, the junior seer of Kanchi Kamakoti Peeth in Tamil Nadu. Sri Shankara Vijayendra Saraswathi’s “Anugraha Bashanam,” recorded in Kancheepuram and brought to the US, was played from a laptop/projector. In his speech, the young acharya stressed that when dharma, righteous living, is firm, there comes shanti, peace.
