Sringeri is located on the banks of the Tunga river and has an historical temple that is over 1200 years old.<br \/>\nSankaracarya selected Sringeri as his main center because one day while walking by the Tunga river he saw a cobra with a raised hood providing shelter from the hot sun to a frog about to spawn. Impressed with a place where natural enemies appeared as friends, he decided to establish his mission there.<br \/>\nDespite the fact that our philosophies are diametrically opposed, we were nicely received by the monks who lived at the monastery there.<br \/>\nWe also visited a nearby Sanskrit College, where signs posted throughout the school reminded students of the value of transcendental knowledge.<br \/>\nFind them here: <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/HvVH2l\">https:\/\/goo.gl\/HvVH2l<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/40.media.tumblr.com\/92e73cf8109b502903c4b4832bfa1c23\/tumblr_o1woudmrtF1sbj0vuo1_500.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Where Natural Enemies Are Friends (Album with photos) <br \/>\nIndradyumna Swami: The other day we drove many hours through a jungle ar&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10650,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[118],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24018","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-recent-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/10650"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24018"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24018\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40990,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24018\/revisions\/40990"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
