‘Rushipeetham’ means ‘Bharatha Bhumi’, the land of seers and sages. Ages ago, wise seers of yore perceived the knowledge that could not be grasped by senses, through their power of penance. They brought forth the secular and spiritual knowledge, wishing the universal well-being and happiness. The hidden eternal values, the latent knowledge, unknown pearls of wisdom ought to be searched, channelized and to be manifested by assimilating India’s greatness.
Rushipeetham Charitable Trust, established to preserving Indian classical Arsadharma, is headed by the Parameswara himself. Rushipeetham acts as a supporting platform for preserving Vedic Culture and promoting Vedic scholars and sahitivettas. Working with Chittasuddhi (purity of cause) and satsankalpam (good cause), Rushipeetham is committed to upholding Indian dharmika values and traditions. All sections of our society are part of this effort, not just the erudite, as all humanity can benefit from our efforts to build a better society.
Brahmasri – Samavedam Shanmukha Sarma (born 16 May 1967) is an Indian spiritual teacher, scholar, journalist, and lyricist, known for his discourses on Hindu scriptures. He delivers lectures on a wide range of texts, including the Vedas, Puranas, Itihasas, and Sastras, presenting complex spiritual concepts in an accessible manner for a wider audience.
Shanmukha Sarma is also the editor of Rushipeetam, a monthly magazine that focuses on promoting Indian spiritual and cultural heritage. He has been involved in educational initiatives, including the creation of an online university offering courses on Hindu scriptures. Additionally, he has authored over 100 devotional songs under the title Sivapadam, which blend philosophy and devotion.
Sri Samavedam Garu wrote over thousand keerthanas on Lord Siva, With the rule to write one keerthana each day. At a very young age, he has completed this incredible task with each utterance being a grace of Lord Siva. Highlights of Sri Samavedam gaaru’s Sivapadam include Siva leela moorthys such as Jyotirupa, Umamaheshwara, Dakshinamurti, Aadikirata, Nataraja, Aadibhiksu, Tripurasura samhara, Mrutyunjaya and Sivalingaradhana tatwam.
These keerthanaas encompass different Incarnations of Siva told in Rudranamakam, Vedas and Puranas, Siva’s Sabdhabramha swaroopa, Magnificence of Sivapanchaksari, Philosophy of Jagadamba and many more facets of Siva’s leela.
Our Sanathana Dharma identifies God with sound vibration (Naada Bramha) and the movement caused by power of speech (Spandana Sidhantha). Sivapadam is the sound of Lord Siva, it is the word that makes us closer to Lord Siva and the path that eventually takes us to Lord Siva. Sivapadam is the essence of the school of thought of all the vedas, puranas and sastras. It is a garland of words and a necklace of divine nectar offered to the feet of Lord Siva.
