|| H. H. Shrimat Keshavashram Swami (Shirali) ||
(1785 - 1823)
Our
fifth Guru - Shrimat Keshavashrama Swamiji
The fifth Swami is Shrimat Keshavashrama from the Talgeri family. He was ordained five
years before the Guru Swamiji H.H. Shrimat Shankarashram Swamiji II attained Mahasamadhi.
He was a great administrator and acquired landed property for the Math. He personally
supervised the management of the Math during His spare time. His regime lasted for 42
years during which He consolidated the Math and the Community and weaned away many of our
people from the Vaishnav practice. He attained Mahasamadhi in 1823 and His samadhi stands
at the right hand corner in the line of samadhis at Chitrapur.
