Sureśvarācārya oversaw the organization of the Kanchi Kamakoti Pīṭham. His temple is still present within the Maṭham; you would have seen it when you visited. He remained in this town (Kanchipuram). Just as Śaṅkarācārya was born in Kāladi, travelled to all regions, and finally came to Kāmākṣi Ambāl, where He established the Śrīcakra, as stated in श्रीचक्रं स्वयम् आलिखत् (śrīcakraṃ svayam ālikhat), as you all see in the front, He placed the Śrīcakra right in front of Ambāl’s sannidhi and then remained in Kanchipuram. He stayed there permanently, and at the age of thirty‑two, He merged with Ambāl. He arranged for Sureśvarācārya to take care of everything, and Sureśvarācārya stayed there and managed everything. Sarvajñātmanendra Sarasvatī Svāmigal became the Ācārya of the Kanchi Kamakoti Pīṭham at a very young age.
After that, many Ācāryas succeeded one after another, and the 68th Ācārya was our revered Kanchi Mahā Periyavā. He served for nearly a hundred years. From the age of thirteen, He performed the Chandramoulīśvara Pūjā that you have all witnessed.He performed this pūjā in many towns, including Kāśi, Patna, Kolkata, and Orissa. In those days, He travelled with a large entourage including people, elephants, horses, camels, and Veda‑pāṭhaśālās. It was called a moving town. Thus, He performed Chandramoulīśvara Pūjā in all those places. Hara Hara Śaṅkarā Jaya Jaya Śaṅkarā
