The 34th pontiff of the Peetham, Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal in His Poorvashrama had studied in the Bharateeya Geervani Proudha Vidya Abhivardhini Patashala (School for Advanced Studies in Sanskrit) at the Bangalore Shankarapuram Math during 1911-1912. The house at Bangalore He had stayed in during His days as a student, has been renovated and a Murti of the Jagadguru installed in the centre of the house. This house, named Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Nilaya and decorated with a number of photos and portraits of the renowned Jivanmukta was inaugurated by Jagadguru Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on 2nd May 2007. Located inside the Math complex, Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Nilaya is open to all in the mornings and evenings. The Jagadguru also released a book titled “Jagadguruvin Aruluraigal” comprising Tamil discourses of His Paramaguru graced in 1927 at Coimbatore and Thiruvananthapuram.
The Jagadguru also dedicated a 100 bed Rangadore Memorial Hospital, a joint initiative of the Peetham and the Bangalore Kidney Foundation on May 2nd. The main focus of the hospital, whose building construction was sponsored by Mrs. Nagadevi and Mr. Binod of Bangalore, would be on the requirements of kidney affected patients.

 
  • 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
