Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya established the first of the four Amnaya Peethams at Sringeri over twelve centuries ago, dedicated to fostering the tradition of Sanatana Dharma. Legend has it that, attracted by the sanctity of sacred Sringeri on the banks of the holy Tunga river, where even natural adversaries like the cobra and frog lived in harmony, He established the Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham.
Since its inception, the Peetham has seen an unbroken lineage of Gurus, beginning with Jagadguru Sri Sureshwaracharya who was appointed by Sri Adi Shankaracharya Himself. Over centuries, the Peetham has attracted royal patronage and has become a center of learning and spiritual power. The Acharyas of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham have contributed extensively towards propagating Sanatana Dharma through varied Dharmic initiatives and continue to foster the Advaita philosophy that Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya propagated.

Baala Veda works around our eternal Sanatana Sanskriti and rich Bharatiya history. It intends to bring out our immense traditional knowledge for the next generation through infotainment games and stories. Baala Veda, believes that cultural and traditional values are best inculcated from an early age. Culture is the lifeblood of a vibrant society. Culture helps develop thinking, builds self-esteem, and improves resilience. Culture is best taught when the mind is young.
Entertainment platforms like Games, Stories, Music and Dance are easily absorbed by children. These platforms play a significant role in driving young minds towards a morally and ethically balanced society. With the mantra of “Bachpan Se Bharat”, team Baala Veda is re-introducing the rich and diverse cultural heritage of our land through means which make our children curious and thus inspire them to learn more.

After the Videha-Mukti of Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidya Tirtha Mahaswamiji in 1989, Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji adorned the Peetham as its 36th Jagadguru Shankaracharya, continuing the lineage of its hallowed and unbroken Guru Parampara.
