Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham
Hindu monastery in Tamil Nadu, India
Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham, also called the Sri Kanchi Matham or the Moolamnaya Sarvagnya Peetham,[web 1] is a Hindu religious center of Vedic learning, located in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu.

The reason for His arrest is simple : one-upmanship between the AIADMK and DMK parties , and the vast resources at the Math's disposal . In this time of crisis , not only all sections of Hindus , but also all believers in God must pray for Shri Svaamiji's release . The issue in some people's minds is that the Kaamakoti Peetha is not one of the Chaturaamnayas , hence much importance needn't be given here .But that should not be an issue at all . Dharma itself is in danger . Personally , I believe that the Divine Mother , Bhagavati Kaamaakshi will see to it that justice is served . JAY
