Swami Brahmananda Saraswati's guru was Swami Krishnanand Saraswati who hailed from Sringeri, the Sri Vidya sect headquarters for all Saraswati Dasanamis. Apparently Shankaracharya installed a Sri Yantra at Sringeri, with the TM mantras inscribed thereon. At least two TM bija mantras are included in the sixteen syllable mantra of the Saundaryalahari which was composed by Shankaracharya for our understanding.
