Jagadguru worships Lord Lakshmi Narasimha

On 30th April 2007, Sri Narasimha Jayanti was observed. The Jagadguru worshipped Lord Lakshmi Narasimha that afternoon. Vedic Chants comprising the Pursha Sukta and Mahanarayana Upanishad filled the air as the Jagadguru performed Abhisheka to Lord Narasimha, the Avatara signifying the omnipresence of the Lord.

In the evening, the Jagadguru released the book “Saswara Mahanyasaadi Mantrah” published by Sri Sharada Vidya Prathisthana, Adhyatma Vichara Samiti. This book contains Mahanyasa along with Kannada translation. Elderly scholars, Vidwan Sri N. Ranganatha Sharma and Vidwan Sri Seshachala Sharma were honoured on the occasion. The Jagadguru extolled the greatness of Sri Rudram in His Anugraha Bhashana.

To that which is born, death is indeed certain; and to that which is dead, birth is certain. Therefore, knowing this, you ought not to grieve over (this) inevitable. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
Daylight and darkness, dusk and dawn, winter and springtime come and go. Time plays and life ebbs away. But the current of desire never leaves. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Mohamudgara
Once you begin to feel the presence of God, a joy unknown to you ever before will begin to be felt. The thought of his ever- living presence with you will be a great solace to you. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
Tendencies develop, regardless of the characteristic of the action performed. Hence, he who wishes to lead a proper life will do well to avoid evil deeds and to repeatedly perform virtuous deeds. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
To err is human. Accepting one’s error and correcting oneself is a mark of nobility. Humility is the primary path to achieving nobility. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
