On 1st November 2007, the Jagadguru performed the Pratishta Kumbhabhisheka of Goddess Sharada, and Sri Adi Shankara at the Nasik Sringeri Shankara Math.

It may be noted that while the Adi Shankara icon has been in existence for long, the Nasik Math did not have a shrine for Goddess Sharada, the presiding deity of the Peetham. The decision to renovate the Math and consecrate Goddess Sharada was a boon for all devotees of the holy town and saw fructification at the Divine hands of the Jagadguru on this auspicious day.

Sri Sri Sannidhanam also worshiped at the Adhistanams of the 28th and 29th Jagadgurus of the Peetham – Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Sacchidanda Bharati Mahaswamigal and Jagadguru Sri Nrisimha Bharati Mahaswamigal. The Jagadguru also graced a number of Dharmic functions in Nasik.

  • 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
