Srimad Sukratindra and Srimad Indirakant | A rare confluence [Photos]

We have their collective pictures taken in Goa, Basrur and Udupi from around 1938-1939. These are given below, with some context as found online.

The timelines of their meetings are illustrated in the below screenshot

It was Srimad Indirakant Tirtha who convinced Srimad Sukratindra Tirtha to adopt a Shishya swamiji for continuing the legacy of Kashi Math, when Srimad Sukratindra had decided to put a full stop to the parampara. This was because of the severe challenges they had faced due to the changing times, which had caused a number of cases where educated people had challenged Srimad Sukratindra's ordinances in the court.

Kashi Math followers should always be grateful to the help of Srimad Indirakant Swamiji, which was in a way responsible for us getting Srimad Sudhindra Tirtha as a Sadguru.
