Swami Parijnanashram I or Adi Parijnanashram(Devanāgarī: (unicode:आिद पिर्ज्ञानाश्रम ्), ') was the first guru and ''Mathadhipati''(Head of a community,that is, Head of a ''matha'' or community monastery) of the Chitrāpur Sāraswat Brahmins. He is supposed to have been ordained by Lord ''Bhavanishankara()'' to guide the Chitrāpur Sāraswat Community in 1708(''See Ordination''). He was a ''Sanyasi'' who was a Kashmir Sāraswat Brahmin. He was asked by Lord ''Bhavanishankara'' in a dream to come down to the banks of ''Kotiteerth''(a water tank) in Gokarn to lead the Chitrāpur Sāraswat community. The community had been faced with an official decree from the King of ''Nagar'' which stated that unless the ''saraswats'' had shown him their guru, the community would have to face heavy penalties.(''See Royal Decree'') He was a man of great spiritual grace and was a scholar in the Sanskrit scriptures and the Vedanta. He established the first ''matha'' of the community at Gokarn. He was succeeded by his ''shishya''(śi.śya) or disciple ''Shankarashram()''.Swami ''Parijnanashram ''I died in 1720.(''See Mahā-Samādhi'') His ''samadhi''(shrine) is located at ''Bhandikere'' in Gokarn, next to the ''Uma Maheshwar()'' temple. (''Bhandikere'' means lane(''keri'') of carts(''bhandi'') ) == Before Parijnanashram I == After their migration from the north,the ''Saraswats'' had occupied highly prestigious posts in administration in the kingdom of ''Nagar''(parts of present day Kanara). They were more intelligent and more efficient than the other people of the region. This caused jealousy amongst the other people and they went and complained to the king that they did not have a guru and hence no "spiritual existence of their own". So the King issued them a decree stating that unless the community showed them their guru, heavy penalties would be imposed on them. This included evicting them from their present administrative posts. The elders of the community,in despair, started praying to Lord ''Mahabaleshwar()'' at Gokarn. They had a dream that a ''sanyasi'' would appear at the banks of the ''Kotiteerth'', the temple tank, the following day. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Parijnanashram I」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
