Swami Vāmanāshram (Devanagari: वामनाश्रम्, ') was the Sixth guru of the Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmin community(6th in the ''Guru Parampara''). His period of reign was for 16 years from 1823 to 1839. Swami Vāmanāshram had been under the tutelage of his guru Swami Keshavāshram for a period of 19 years. This helped him gain mastery over the Vedas, Upanishads and other Sanskrit scriptures. He was considered a ''Bramha-jñāni''(All knowing one). He died in 1839 at Mangalore. He was succeeded by his ''shishya''(disciple) Krishnashram. The ''samādhi'' of Swami ''Vāmanāshram'' is located at Mangalore. (''Note: Henceforth in this article '' Swamiji '' will refer to Swami Vāmanāshram only) == Taking Charge == Swami Vāmanāshram was from the ''Shukla Bhat'' family from Mangalore. He had been ordained as the successor to Swami Keshavāshram in 1804. So under the tutelage of Swami ''Keshavāshram'' for 19 years, he could gain great knowledge on the Sanskrit scriptures of India. By the time he was the ''Mathādhipati''(Head of the Chitrapur Math), he had gained mastery over it. Swamiji was formally ordained as the Guru of the community after Swami ''Keshavāshram'' attained ''Mahā-samādhi''(died) on the 9th day of ''Mārgha'' month in 1823. Swamiji was a man who was deeply involved in spiritual pursuits. So he could not concentrate on the administration affairs of the ''matha'' and affairs of the community in general. In order to reduce the burden, he gave total responsibility of the administration to the ''Shukla Bhat'' managers. After giving charge to the Manager, he could pursue his spiritual conquests. 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「Vamanashram」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
