New Delhi: RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) spokesman Ram Madhav today (Jan 23, 2005) met Kanchi Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati at Kalavai where the Seer has been camping since his release on bail on January 10.

During the hour-long meeting, Madhav is understood to have "clarified" RSS Chief K S Sudarshan's remarks last week, which sparked off speculation about the possible appointment of a third Shankaracharya.

The RSS spokesman attributed the misunderstanding to the "misinterpretation by the media" about Sudarshan's remarks, Sangh sources said.

Through a statement after Sudarshan's meeting with the Kanchi Seer last week, the RSS had categorically said that the appointment of the Shankaracharya was an internal matter of the Mutt and RSS had no role in it.

Madhav is also believed to have discussed the latest developments with regard to the various cases against the two Shankaracharyas and Kanchi Mutt officials.
