About Guru
Swami Shantanand Saraswati (1913–1997) was Shankaracharya of the Jyotir Math monastery from 1953 to 1980; he was a disciple of Brahmananda Saraswati and succeeded him as Shankaracharya.
In 1953, 5 months before his death, Brahmananda Saraswati, the Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, made a hand written will naming his disciple, Swami Shantanand Saraswati, as his successor. Swami Shantanand assumed the Shankarcharya-ship but his authority was later disputed by several of Brahmananda's disciples and followers who did not feel (due at least in part to Shantananda's lack of lifelong celibacy) that Shantanand met the requirements described in the Mahanusasana texts
