Ugadi and Aradhana of Jagadguru Sri Sacchidananda Shivabhinava Nrismha Bharati Mahaswamigal

 

April 20, 2008

On April 7th the Jagadguru had Darshan at all the temples of the Peetham on the auspicious occasion of Chandramana Ugadi. In accordance to tradition, a detailed Panchanga Shravana took place at Goddess Sharada’s shrine in the evening. This year, the dawn of the Sarvadhari Samvatsara coincided with the (96th) Aradhana of Jagadguru Sri Sacchidananda Shivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati Mahaswamigal. The Jagadguru performed an elaborate Aradhana Puja at noon and worshipped at the Samadhi shrine in the night after the Sharada Chandramoulishwara Puja.

 
  • 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
