About the Library

Ubhaya Bharati, the current library at Chinmaya Eswar Gurukula serves as a major cultural information/ knowledge resource hub to support research in the field of Sanskrit, Indology as well as all contemporary streams of knowledge. Ubhaya Bharati symbolizes knowledge. She is regarded as an incarnation of Sarasvati, goddess of learning. It is believed that she was the illustrious wife of Mandana Mishra. On the Digvijaya yatra, Adi Sankara met Mandana Mishra and defeated him in the debate. Ubhaya Bharati was chosen as an adjudicator in the debate because of her wisdom and unbiased attitude. It was decided that Mandana Mishra would take sannyasa if defeated by Adi Sankara. Ubhaya Bharati didn’t hesitate a bit to declare that Adi Sankara won the debate. As a result, Mandana Mishra took sannyasa. Ubhaya Bharati too followed him. Both together preached Vedanta and propagated the path of knowledge. Ubhaya Bharati, thus is the most significant name for the treasure of knowledge, the library.
