Kanchi Kamakoti Mutt Jayendra Saraswati is caught up in a New Controversy over missing Gold ,83 Kgs., belonging to Kamakshi Amman .
Radhakrishnan ,Auditor of the Mutt had deposed in the Court that a committee under the Chairmanship of A.C.Muthaiah was formed in 2002 to refurbish the Kanchi Kamakshi Temple Vimana, of which Radhakrishnan was a member.
Seventeen kilo- of Gold was collected and 83 kg were imported from abroad.
Total one hundred kg was reported to be kept in locker.
Jayendra Saraswati is reported to have pressurised Radhakrishnan to hand over the Gold to Jayendra Sarawati.
On Radha Krishnan’s refusal,Jayendra Saraswati was reported to have hired Dadas to attack Radha Krishnan,
Jayendrar was reported to have grabbed the gold thereafter.
Elaborating further Radha Krishnan stated that only 17 kg. was used for the temple and the balance 83 kgs.is missing.
One has to await the Court’s verdict.
It may be mentioned that Jayendra Saraswati is facing criminal case in Puduchery for the murder of Sankarara Raman a Mutt Employee.
Another enquiry is on for his attempt to bribe the Judge who was trying his case in Puduchery( read my blog on this)
It may also be mentioned that Jayendra Saraswati left(I think that is the decent expression) a decade back with out the knowledge of Periyavar and caused incalculable hurt to Periyava,
As one who had a ring side view of this sordid episode at Bangalore and ThalaCauvery, I was deeply embarrassed by the snide remarks of the Swamijis of Kailash Ashram, Bangalore about Kanchi Mutt.
I could not answer anything as it was the Tiruchi Swamigal of Kailash Ashram who helped Jayendrar to get accommodation at Thalacauvery and he was one of the few people who urged Jayendrar to return to Kanchi Mutt and desist from hurting the Periyava.
Why can’t Jayendra Saraswati perform his duty as an Ascetic of the Kanchi Mutt?
He seems to be doing every thing other than this,exceptng of course some publicity gimmicks.
He can never go anywhere near Periyava, but he can at least try not to hurt the Periyava even after his shedding His Mortal Frame.

Kanchi Mutt’s Press Release .
At the time of posting the original(being updated on March 13, 2013),the press release was not availabel to me.
I am able to get it and am publishing it.
1.Some explanations, to my mind, are not valid, like the one questioning why Ms.Anuradha rRmanan kept quiet for 12 years,as itself would make her a liar.
I know her personally , she was a very pious woman dedicated to the Kanhchi Mutt.
The case is pending on other issues, cell phone,Sankar Raman murder,etc.
Let the Truth come out.
The charge by Sankara Raman that 100 kgs of gold were imported to make a gold chariot for Kanchi Kamakshi deity. and only 35 kgs were used while the remaining went missing, was re-iterated by the police in the high court for probe.
Here are the facts.
Sri. Adi Sankarar Swarna Vimana Trust with registered office at VHS Campus, Chennai 600 113 was entrusted with the Gold cladding work of Sri Adi Sankarar Vimanam, Sri Kamakshi Ambal Vimanam and Simha Vahanam. The board of trustees of this trust comprised of eminent persons. The gold cladding work was done on copper sections by the conventional methods of beating gold strips into foils and pasting the gold foils over mercury base, heating and polishing. The entire gold plating work was completed and handed over to the authorities of Sri Kamakshi Ambal Devasthanam, Kanchipuram as per the details given below.
The trust imported 85.31 kgs of Gold (and not 100 kgs as alleged) comprising of Gold bars 71.31 kgs, Biscuits 14.00 kgs.
This was used as follows:
1. Sri Adi Sankarar Vimanam 21.875 kgs
2. Sri Kamakshi Ambal Vimanam – upper portion 5.996 kgs
3. Sri Kamakshi Ambal Vimanam – lower portion 41.411 kgs
4. Sri Kamakshi Ambal Kavacham 7.495 kgs
5. Rajagopuram Kalasam 3.932 kgs
6. Simha Vahanam 4.430 kgs
Total 85.139 kgs
The balance gold of 171 gms has been duly accounted.
The full description of the various kanikkais together with the receipt numbers are recorded in the register maintained by the temple trust. These accounts have been verified by the HR&CE department of the government from time to time.
Sankar Raman Issue. ?!
First. Sankara Raman was never an employee of the Mutt as it is made out to be. He was an employee of a temple in Kanchipuram at the time of his death. Sankara Raman wrote several letters to His Holiness over the last several years accusing the Swamiji and several others of various acts of omission and commission, to put it mildly.
He marked copies of several of his letters to the CM, the leader of the opposition , HRCE Department and several other prominent citizens and devotees. Every one just ignored the letters as those of a disgruntled black mailer who was threatening to ‘expose’ the two Swamijis & The Mutt. These letters were being freely circulated by Sankara Raman. In one of his letters he claims that he was a man of average means and that ‘some kind hearted man’ was paying for the mass copying and postage of the letters.
We cannot speculate as to why he was killed or who was involved. The only thing we believe unequivocally, is that His Holiness is being falsely implicated in this.

9. Who is Radhakrishnan? What is his relationship with the Mutt? Why was he attacked? Who attacked him? Why is the Swamiji implicated in this?
Radharishnan is a former associate of the Mutt, and has his own business. In 1994 when it was discovered that he was involved in a malicious defamation campaign against the Mutt, he was relieved of his services. He was one of the trustees of the Sri. Adi Sankara trust, for the golden chariot for Kamakshi Amman. The case about an attack on Radhakrishnan is 2 years and 3 months old. In the FIR filed in this case neither the Mutt nor Swamiji were mentioned.

As far as I know no body attacks the Karachi;they point out information regarding the individuals.
Being men of The Holy Order and one holds a position of Trust and representing a Great Religion, it is essential that the accusations are disproved, instead of pleading injured innocence.
No body even dares to dream of leveling such a charge against the Periyavar.
Accusing people of bad faith only confirms suspicions.
Mr.Ramanan, it appears to me that you are an attention seeker and you would not mind going to whatever extent just to seek attention. If you don’t have belief in Shri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal, that is your personal prerogative and you are well within your rights but what right do you have to offend the feelings of devotees of Kanchi Mutt by posting such highly defamatory and objectionable posts? You claim to be a devotee of Maha Periyava and do you think Maha Periyava would support you for all what you are writing in your posts? Better sanity would prevail if you could just delete your defamatory posts and focus your energy on some other useful things. I know I have already wasted my precious time in reading your nonsense post and also by responding to you. I can assure you I won’t come back to your site again and be indirectly responsible in giving you free cheap publicity.
Mr Shankara, you have tried to support Jayendrar in spite of evidences produced against him in the courts and 189 witnesses against him. (Although 81 witnesses turned hostile due to lure of the money!) TVs and other media all over the world have aired his confessional statements. Jayendrar himself has gone on record stating that some of his disciples might have killed Sankararaman because he was bad and acted inimically against him. So, why don’t you answer the question what made Sanakararaman an enemy of Jayendrar although he was a devotee of Paramcharya? Why should a Jagadguru have enemies in the first place? Why should a saint or sanyasi have such enemies whether they are policticians or the police officers or the murdered man?
This is Blind faith/fanaticism,refusing to see evidence
May I know what you kind of satisfaction you get by writing or sharing these wrong views on Jagadhguru? Do you know how many people would have been hurt by your action? Moderating and sharing comments simply don’t help. Please open up.
What do you mean by ring side view? Can you elaborate further on the matter which you have expressed decently)?
Paramacharya held a meeting with press reporters after the day the above said left mutt. Hope you know what happened after that. Did paramacharya come and tell you that he was deeply hurt by this act of jayendrar? It’s very difficult to understand why mahans do certain things. There will be some reason behind it. May be it’s good for you delete this post or modify as it seems highly controversial. And you have mentioned source as TV9 which didn’t exist at that time.
1.What happened at the time of Tala Cauvery Episode-ring side view- i can not explain in a public forum rather tah what I have discussed obliquely
Regarding Tv9. True.It did not exist at that time.The report was aired by it at the time of my posting it.
To report events on world War I now, one need not have existed then.
you write so much in public forum then why not? As I say dont try to systematically demean mutt and my guru. we trust our mutt and donate and those who trust donate and mutt doest come to you with a bowl.we have faith and thats it period,

He confessed, on videotape: Prosecution tells Madras HC
http://www.indianexpress.com/full_story … ~Madras~HC
CHENNAI, NOVEMBER 29: In sensational disclosure in the murder case against the Kanchi Shankaracharya, the Tamil Nadu police today told the Madras High Court that they had videotaped his ‘‘confession’’ in their custody.
The police also alleged for the first time the Shankaracharya was closely associated with a woman called Usha in the conspiracy to murder his detractor Shankararaman.
The Shankaracharya’s counsel, I Subramanium, vehemently opposed the police offer to play the videotape of the alleged confession as he feared that it would only ‘‘prejudice’’ the case against his client.
The police counsel, K T S Tulsi, explained that they had videotaped the entire interrogation of Jayendra Saraswathi to avoid any allegations of ill-treatment during the three days he was in their custody.
All that I can say is these events are part of Kali Yuga. You are trying to defend an unreal argument.Not required at all. Be true to your self. These were news reported in the media based on court proceedings. They may not be true and I don’t think neither of us have the right to discuss about Jagadhguru. A video tape can’t depict adhvaitha which is the only truth. His holiness is from a guru parampara(even if you “were” to be true kruthagnithai and that bava is very important. you need to respect guru parampara to preserve dharma)
“Shambor murthihi charathi bhuvane Shankaracharya Rupaha”
“Sadasiva samarambham Shankaracharya madhyamam
asmad acharya paryantam ‘vande guru paramparam’ ”
சொல்லுக சொல்லைப் பிறிதோர்சொல் அச்சொல்லை
வெல்லுஞ்சொல் இன்மை அறிந்து
I hereby request you to change your attitude on this subject if you are a firm believer of adi shankara’s advaita. Let’s not debate over the unreal. I pray to the almighty not to uplift you and clear your ignorance towards this subject. I hope to see the day when you believe in your “self or atman” which is brahman and act accordingly!
I think your intention is to defame Kanchi mutt and Jagadhguru. This matter should be discussed at a broad level if what you know is true. Are you ready for an open debate with the media?
