Pascimāmnāya Śrī Śāradā Pītham or Dwarka Sharada Math,[2][note 1] is one amongst the four cardinal peethams established by the saint Adi Shankara to preserve and propagate Sanatana Dharma and Advaita Vedanta, the doctrine of non-dualism. Located in the city of Dwaraka, Gujarat, India it is the pascimāmnāya matha, or Western Āmnāya Pītham[4] amongst the four Chaturāmnāya Pīthams, with the others being the Sringeri Śāradā pīṭhaṃ (Karnataka) in the South, Purī Govardhanmaṭha Pīṭhaṃ (Odisha) in the East and Badari Jyotirmaṭha Pīṭhaṃ (Uttarakhand) in the North. It is also known as the Kālikā Matha.[5] Their Vedantic mantra or Mahavakya is Tattvamasi (That thou art) and as per the tradition initiated by Adi Shankara it holds authority over Sama Veda. The head of the matha is called Shankarayacharya, the title derives from Adi Shankara.
History
- Shri Trivikrama Tirtha was the head of the monastery until 1921 when he was succeeded by Sri Bharati Krishna Tirtha.[citation needed]
- Shri Bharati was invited to lead the Puri matha in 1925 after the position had become vacant.[citation needed]
- Shri Bharati was succeeded by Shri Swarupananda.[citation needed]
1945 - Present
In 1945, Shri Abhinava Saccidananda Tirtha was nominated to the position. Before assuming his position at Dvaraka, Abhinava was the head of the Mulabagal matha in Karnataka, which was the 17th century branch of the Dvaraka matha. As a result, the cumulative lineage of Mulabagal matha was merged with Dvaraka when Abhinava took office there. Years later[when?] Shri Saccidananda helped to mediate the Shankarcharya successions at Puri and Jyotir Math.[6] Since Abhinava died in 1982, this peeth has been led by Swami Swarūpānanda Saraswatī[6][7] who is one of the claimants to the position of Shankaracharya of the northern matha called Jyotish Pitha or Jyotir Math.[8]
After the death of Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati, who was the Shankracharya of Dwarka Sharad Math, Swami Sadanand Saraswati was made the Shankaracharya of Dwarka Sharada Math.[9]

They are Jyotir-math at Badarinath, Kalika peetham at Dwarka, Govardhana peetham at Jagganath Puri, Sarada peetham at Sringeri and the Kamakoti peetham at Kanchi. Adi Shankara was the greatest exponent of the Advaita philosophy.
