A traditional welcome to the
Jagadguru at the Bangalore Palace

At the request of the royal scion of Mysore, His Highness Sri Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wodeyar, the Jagadguru went to the Bangalore palace of the scion on 18th May 2007. The Jagadguru rode a silver chariot as part of a grand ceremonial traditional welcome to the palace where He was received with Poorna Kumbha by the scion. His Highness Sri Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wodeyar and the Maharani then performed Pada Puja and received the Blessings of the Jagadguru. Earlier, the Jagadguru visited Sir M. Vishweshwarayya Co-operative Bank opposite the Shankarapuram Math. In the evening, Sri Rangapriya Mahadesikan of Ashtanga Vijnana Yoga Mandiram called on the Jagadguru.

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
