About the math

Shree Samsthan Gokarn Partagali Jeevottam Math is the first Gowd Saraswat Brahmin Vaishnava Math. It follows the Dvaita order, a system established by Jagadguru Madhvacharya in the 13th century AD. This math is also called Partagali Jeevottam Math owing to the location of its headquarter and the illustrious third Guru Shreemad Jeevottam Teerth Shreepad Vader Swamiji. The math is headquartered in Partagali, a small town in South Goa, on the banks of the river Kushavati.
Shree Samsthan Gokarn Partagali Jeevottam Math is considered as the emblem of Saraswat identity and the rallying point for their unification. Devoted for over 500+ years to preserve and organize a people forced to be disorganized and committed to serve and energize a community ordained to undergo many an ordeal by fate and compelled to be dispersed by history, the success story of the Math also contains the history of the Saraswat community.
