Rajatotsava of Seetarama Anjaneya Pathashala

April 23, 2007

Seetarama Anjaneya Pathashala at Bangalore has been functioning with the Blessings of the Jagadguru for the past twenty-five years. The Rajatotsava (Silver Jubilee) function was held at the Math in the presence of the Jagadguru on the evening of 24th April, 2007. Ten renowned scholars of the Vedas and Sastras were rewarded titles, shawls and cash awards for their erudition and service to the cause of Sanatana Dharma. The Jagadguru in His benedictory address underlined the greatness of the Vedas and the need for a systematic Vedic education under a Guru.

The Self (Atma) is never born nor does It ever die; neither does It cease to exist after having once existed nor does the Self come into existence, like the body, having not existed before. Unborn, eternal, It undergoes no change whatsoever and is primeval; It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
A person who hears about the condemnation of another incurs sin. What need be said about the sin incurred by a man who actually engages in nit picking? Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Prabodha Sudhakara
If you pray with faith and devotion, the Lord will certainly listen to your earnest prayers. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
Our nation and its culture have a hoary past and we should all be proud of it. Mere aping of the West is not beneficial for us. For example, care of aged parents is something that has come down to us traditionally and we must never neglect this duty by imbibing concepts of some free societies, wherein concern for one’s own parents is at low ebb. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
It is a great blunder not to make proper use of the body and mind that has been given to us by God. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
