Daivajnas in Goa, Maharashtra and Some parts of Karnataka belong to " smartha" sect. On the other hand Daivajnas in South Canara , Udupi and Kerala were highly influenced by Shree Madhwacharya's " Dvaita Siddhant" and adopted Vaishnavism led by "Shreemad Vadiraja Theertha Swami" the pontiff of shree Sodhe math. Due to some unavoidable conflicts between the two sects in the community a new math was established in Honnavar , in North Canara district. The Math is called as " Shree Jnaneshwari Peetha" and his headed by "Shree Shreemad Dakshinamanya Bharathi Theertha Swamiji's( Shringeri Shree Sharada Peetha) disciple (sheeshya) " Shree Shreemat Sacchidananda Jnaneshwar Bharati Mahaswami" for spiritual and religious betterment of the community. The presiding deity at the math is "Shree Jnaneshwari Devi" (a form of Tripura Sundari) and is also worshipped in the form of " Shree Yantra".Other deities are Devi Panchaytana, Ganapati and Navagrahas. Every year in " Maagh" month of the hindu calendar " Maha Rathotsava " is celebrated with great zeal. Navaratri Turiyashram Sweekar anniversry of His Holiness Swamiji are other main festivals.
