Here is a documentary on the history of Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam, a Hindu monastic institution located in Kanchipuram. Written and directed by documentary film maker Dr. S. Krishnaswamy and Produced by Dr. Mohana Krishnaswamy under the banner of Krishnaswamy Associates P Ltd.

Pujyasri Adi Shankara, the founder of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham was one of the greatest philosophers and spiritualists of the world. His miraculous achievements, within a short life span of thirty-two years, speak of his super-human aspect. Sages and scholars have regarded him as an incarnation of the Divine.

Pujyasri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati Swamigal or the Sage of Kanchi is the 68th guru in the line of Shankaracharyas. His holiness demonstrated neither magic nor miracles, and connected with people across generations and across the globe.

Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal , the 69th Shankaracharya and his successor the 70th Shankaracharya, Sri Sankara Vijayendra Saraswathi are the current pontiffs of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham.
