UDUPI SRI KRISHNA MATH
 
Udupi acquired nation-wide fame, when it was turned into a unique seat of Vedantic learning in the 13th century under the leadership of shri madhvacharya. Apart from his contribution to vadentic philosophy, Sri madhva founded the famous Krishna temple of udupi and made it the fountainhead of a new devotional movement, which eventually spread all over the country.He is the source of happiness and salvation of all good people. Madhva installed this image of Krishna with the avowed purpose of removing all obstacles and relieving the pains, which beset his devotees on their way to salvation.
 
 
Among the several disciple of Sri Madhava eight monks were jointly and severally made responsible for conducting the daily worship of lord Krishna at Udupi besides the usual duties of monk hood. These eight direct disciples of madhava established separates lines of their own by ordination, and these eight lines of ascetics came to be known as the eight Maths or Ashta Math of Udupi.
 
   
In the beginning the swamijis of the eight Maths used to be in charged of lord Krishna’s worship by turns, for two months each. The system of worship in its present forms is believed to have been established in the 16th century by Sri Vadiraja swami a celebrated pontiff of one of the eight Maths called Sode3 Math. According to the present practice, the swamiji of eight conduct worship, by turns for two years each. This tenure of worship by rotation is known as PARYAYA. The swamiji who is in charge of the worship is called the PARAYAYA SWAMIJI, and his math called the PARAYAYA Math. The ceremony of handing over the charges of worship by one math to another is known as the PARAYAYA FESTIVAL. The festival held once in two years, in the month of January, attracts thousand of pilgrims, from various corners.
