Padmasree Sri V. R. Gowrishankar
CEO & Administrator, Sringeri Mutt and its
properties
It’s the untiring, dedicated work of the
Administrator that sets the tone of the myriads of institutions run by the
Mutt-in the social, educational, economic, health, spiritual and technical spheres
of society with the avowed aim of improving the status quo. This man, humble,
silent but resolute and highly competent, is the mainstay and no wonder, a lot
of accolades and titles have come on his way, the latest being the Padmasree
conferred on him in recognition of his sincere hard work and contribution to
society.
All this traits have made him the humbler for
it. ‘Simple living and high thinking’ seems to have been his motto. His
spiritual scholarliness has even taken him to United Nations General Assembly
to address the delegates. He acknowledges all his acievements as God’s blessings and the grace of H. H. Sri Sri Bharathitheertha Swamigal, the present pontiff of
Sringeri Mutt.
