Shrimad Vidhyadheesh Teerth Swami (born 10 October 1995; formerly Uday Bhat Sharma), also referred to as Shri Vidhyadhish Teerth Swamiji, became head (Mathadipathi) of the Gokarna Partagali Math in July 2021.[1] He is the 24th successive person of Gokarna Math according to Guru Parampara.[2]

Early life

In February 2017 Uday Bhat Sharma of 21 years of age, an engineering student of Maratha Mandal Engineering College, Belgaum, Karnataka was officially declared by Sripad Vader Swamiji to be his successor to head the mutt. [3]

Head of Gokarna Partagali Math

Shrimad Vidhyadhish Teerth Swamiji, the predecessor Shrimad Vidyadhiraj Teerth Swamiji as mathadipathi, attained moksha on 19 July 2021.[4] In accordance with the guru–shishya tradition followed by the math, He had initiated Vidhyadhish Teerth as the shishya who would succeed him upon his death and thus Vidhyadhish Teerth became the new mathadipathi. He officially took charge on 30 July 2021 at Partagali, Poinginim, Canacona, Goa.[5] [6]
