On 28th November 2014 evening, the Jagadguru Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji reached Sri Krishnashrama Math Haladipura and was given a traditional Poornakumbha welcome by the Mathadhipati, Sri Vamanashrama Swamiji. In the Math premises, the Jagadguru had Darshan at the Sannidhis of Sri Lakshminarasimha, Durgaparameshwari, Chandramoulishwara, Sharadamba and Sri Adi Shankaracharya. The Jagadguru then performed Sri Sharada Chandramoulishwara puja and Srichakra Puja.

On 29th November morning, the Jagadguru graced Karki Daivajna Math, where Sri Sacchidananda Jnaneshwara Bharati Swamiji gave a respectful welcome and performed Padapuja. The Swamiji then spoke expressing his gratitude to the Jagadguru and prayed for the Jagadguru’s blessings for all devotees assembled there and for the developmental activities in the Math. The Jagadguru blessed the assembled devotees with an Anugraha Bhashanam and elaborated on the greatness of Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada and His works. The Jagadguru added that if we follow even a single Upadesha given by Bhagavatpada, we will be benefitted. The Jagadguru then explained the shloka “अविनयमपनय विष्णो” from Vishnu Shatpadi Stotram.

The Jagadguru then returned back to Haladipura Krishnashrama Math where Sri Vamanashrama Swamiji performed Padapuja and organised a Guruvandana Sabha. The Guruvashtaka Stotram by Bhagavatpada was recited. Then Sri Vamanashrama Swamiji delivered a speech in Konkani welcoming the Jagadguru and expressed that similar to God taking the Avatara of Sri Rama, Sri Krishna and Adi Shankaracharya, God has taken the form of the Sringeri Jagadguru and has come to the Math to bless all.

  • Just as in this body, the embodied one passes through boyhood, youth, and old age, so does one pass into another body. With reference to this (birth, aging and death), the wise man is not disturbed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • An object continues to be dear as long as one derives pleasure from it and it is detested for the duration that it causes pain. The same object cannot be always liked or disliked. Sometimes, that which is not dear may become dear. Moreover, that which was loveable can turn unpleasant. The Atma, towards which affection never wanes, is always the most beloved. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Shatashloki
  • Blessings are the monopoly of God and we must all pray for his gracious blessings. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is pitiful that when many of us are asked, “who are you?”, The first thought that arises is “I am a Keralite”, or “I am a Punjabi”, etc. The thought that should immediately stem is “I am an Indian”. If people first feel that they are Indians and only then think of divisions, the nation will have great prosperity and the divisive forces will not be operative as they are today. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Instead of using the tongue for speaking futile issues, use it to chant the names of God. God shall then guide you along the right and beneficial path. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
