Here is your short paragraph on Tarakeswar Math:

This holy place is situated in the Hoogly district of West Bengal. This is the apex Matha of Dashnama Shaiva sect.

It is said that the learned discourses on the Hindu Shastras establish beyond doubt that the Dashnami Sannyasis are Vedic Sannyasis and that the Mathadhari Sannyasis belonging to the school of Shankaracharya are Vedic and not Tantric Sannyasis, that the Tarakeswar Math is governed by the Shankaracharya School of thought, that the Mohunt of the Tarakeswar Math is a Mathadhari Dashnami Sannyasi.

Almost all the Dashnami Maths in Bengal were founded by Brahmins who came from the North – West Provinces and not by Brahmins domiciled in Bengal, and the persons who are now connected with these Maths either as Mohunts or Chelas were fresh arrivals from the North – West. Today this is one of the most sacred centre for the Shaiva devotees of Bengal.
