  • Uttarāmnāya Śrī Jyotish Pītham or Jyotir Math is one amongst the four cardinal pīthams established by the 820 CE philosopher-saint Śrī Ādi Śaṅkara to preserve and propagate Sanātana Dharma and Advaita Vedānta, the doctrine of non-dualism. Located in the city of Joshimath, Chamoli district, Uttrakhand, India, it is the uttarāmnāya matha or Northern Āmnāya Pītham, amongst the four Chaturamnaya Peethams, with the others being the Sringeri Śārada Pīṭhaṃ (Karnataka) in the South, Dvārakā Śāradā Pītham (Gujarat) in the West, and Purī Govardhanmaṭha Pīṭhaṃ (Odisha) in the East. Its appointees bear the title of Shankaracharya. It is the headquarters of Giri, Parvata & Sagara sects of the Dasnami Sampradaya (monistic order). Their Vedantic mantra or Mahavakya is Ayamātmānam brahma (This Atman is supreme being) and as per the tradition initiated by Adi Shankara it holds authority over Atharva Veda. The head of the matha is called Shankarayacharya, the title derives from Adi Shankara. After its occupation by Svāmī Rāmakṛṣṇa Tīrtha in the 18th century, it was leaderless for 165 years until the appointment of Swami Brahmananda Saraswati in 1941. Since Brahmananda's death in 1953, there have been several disciples and gurus who have been appointed, occupied or claimed to be the rightful occupant and leader of the monastery. This has led to multiple court cases and final settlement over the post is yet to be decided by the Court and consensus among dharmic leaders is yet to be established. Meanwhile the Allahabad High Court had made Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati as caretaker shankaracharya of Joytirmath until a new shankaracharya is selected by a dharm shabha. After his death one of his disciple Swami Avimukteshwaranand was crowned as Shankaracharya of Joytirmath and occupies the asharam built by Swaroopand Saraswati in the Joytirmath city. However his coronation was stopped by Supreme Court of India after objection from Shankaracharya of Puri. While another claimant Swami Vasudevanad Saraswati who is also a member of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust occupies the historical asharam built by Swami Brahmanand Saraswati in Joytirmath city. Deities worshipped in Jyotir Math are Lord Narayana and Shakti-Purnagiri. (en)
  • Jyotir Math est un monastère hindou (math signifiant monastère en Sanskrit) situé dans la ville de Jyotirmath, en Inde. Parfois appelé matha uttarāmnāya ou « monastère du nord », il est l'un des quatre foyers de l'Advaita Vedanta établis aux quatre points cardinaux de l'Inde par Shankara, grande figure de l'hindouisme. Les responsables de ces quatre hauts-lieux spirituels de l'Inde (Jyotir Math, Dvaraka, Puri, Shringeri) portent le titre de Shankaracharya. Après son occupation par Swami Rāmakṛṣṇa Tirtha au XVIIIe siècle, le monastère de Jyotir Math est resté inoccupé durant 165 ans jusqu'à la nomination de Swami Brahmananda Saraswati en 1941. (fr)
