Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati was conferred the “Sri Adi Sankaracharaya Award” by His Holiness Sringeri Sannidahanam on the 26th of April 2012. The video below is the presentation. There is also an article discussing the Sri Adi Shankaracharya Award.
The actual presentation of the award starts at the 27th minute of the video. The presentation is in Tamil. I will attempt to post an English translation as soon as possible.
Harih OM!
