It is also said that he was named Lakshminarasimha (combining his parent&#039;s names). <br /> <br /> He was given the title Mahadevendra Saraswathi and made the Shankaracharya in 1907. He occupied the post for a brief period of seven days and died in 1907. He was succeeded by his first cousin, Swaminathan, a boy of thirteen, who became the sixty-eighth Shankaracharya with the title [[Chandrashekarendra Saraswati|Chandrashekarendra Saraswati VIII]]. <br /> <br /> Sri Mahadevendra Saraswathi&#039;s Samadhi is located in Kalavai, next to his Guru, Sri Chandrasekahrendra Saraswathi VII&#039;s samadhi.<br /> He was also struck by the same disease that caused the Siddhi of his Guru. He died within seven days of ascending the throne of the mutt. But before he died, he had sent word for Swaminathan to be his successor.<br /> <br /> {{s-start}}<br /> {{succession box|title=67th [[Shankaracharya of Kanchi]]|before=[[Chandrasekharendra Saraswati VII]]|after=[[Chandrasekarendra Saraswati|Chandrasekarendra Saraswati VIII]]|years=6 February 1907&amp;ndash; 13 February 1907}}<br /> {{s-end}}<br /> <br /> {{Hinduism footer small}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Saraswathi, Mahadevendra, V}}<br /> [[Category:Shankaracharyas]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Hindu-bio-stub}}</div>
