Jagadguru lays foundation stone at High School


 

On 20th February, the Jagadguru went to Torehedlu Silver Jubilee of Government High School. On this occasion, the Jagadguru laid the foundation stone for a new library to be named Sri Bharati Tirtha Granthalaya and released a souvenir. In His benedictory address, the Jagadguru said “Education is man’s priceless wealth. No one can steal this wealth. Hence everyone should strive to earn the wealth that is education. A student must study with diligence and without any room for sloth. It is essential for the student to acquire humility along with education. Only then can education be deemed complete and meaningful. One must always show respect to one’s teachers irrespective of one’s exalted office, learning and wealth. One must never think that I know everything and develop pride. One must realize that there is so much more to learn and remain humble.” It is worth noting that this school is amongst the dozens of schools whose students are offered midday-meals by the Peetham under its Nitya Annadana scheme.

 
  • 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
