 Real history of the Kanchi math (Re: Former President Inaugurates...) Celebrations
However, the Kanchi math claims that Sankaracharya established a fifth math in Kanchi, with jurisdiction over the recognized four mathas; that Sankaracharya ascended a sarvagna-pitha not in Kashmir, but at Kanchi, and that he passed away not in Kedarnath, but at Kanchi.
What made the disappearance more shocking to the orthodox followers of the Kanchi math was that it was the period of chaturmasya, when a sannyasi was not supposed to travel from his camping station.
The technique of the Kanchi math has been to lie left and right, with such thoroughness, that invariably some part of its preposterous claims are accepted as truth by people.
