Swami Shankarashram I (Devanāgarī: शङकर्ाश्रम् or शंंकर्ाश्रम्,') was the second guru and ''Mathādhipati'' (Head of the community or Head of the ''matha'' ("Monastery")) of the Chitrāpur Sāraswats. He was ordained as the ''Mathādhipati'' in 1720 and served as the head till his death in 1757. He was the ''shishya'' (disciple) of Swami Parijñānāshram I. Swami ''Shankarashram'' was responsible for the establishment of the Chitrapur Math at Shirali which is now the head ''matha'' of the Sāraswats. Under his reign, the ''matha'' got many land grants from the King of Nagar.〔 There are many stories where Swami ''Shankarāshram'' is said to have performed miracles (See Miracles) for his devotees in their times of need. So devotees from different parts of Karnataka and beyond came to be his followers. He died in 1757 at Shirali. His ''samādhi'' (shrine) is located inside the ''Chitrapur Math'' at Shirāli.〔〔 He was succeeded by Swami Parijnanashram II as the ''Mathādhipati'' in the same year. == Pattābhisheka (''Crowning Ceremony'') == ''Shankarāshram'' was the son of Krishnayya Kulkarni of the Harite family before he was chosen as the ''shishya'' of ''Swami Parijñānāshram'', the first ''Mathādhipati'' and guru of the Sāraswats. He belonged to the ''Kaundinya Gotra''〔Clan of people belonging to the same lineage as the great Indian rishi ''Kaundinya''.〕 His Holiness Shankarāshram I was ordained as the second ''Guru'' of the ''Sāraswats'' after the ''Mahā-samadhi'' of his guru, ''Swami Parijñānāshram'' (On ''Krishna Chaturdashi'' day of the month of Chaitra in 1720). The ceremony was held at the Bhandikere ''Matha'' in Gokarn(''See Ādi matha''). He had been under ''Swami Parijñānāshram'' for only 14 days after which ''Swami Parijñānāshram'' diĄed. At the time of ''Swami Shankarāshram'' ordination as the new ''Mathādhipati'', his devotees gave a solemn promise in writing, that they would be faithful to him and would always follow his religious observances. The ''Swami's'' family henceforth was known as ''Shuklabhat ()''.〔''Shukla'' means "bright" or "new" in Sanskrit and ''Bhat'' is a generic surname for scholars. So ''Shuklabhat'' means "New scholars".
