Description :

Volume 4 of the Anugraha Bhashanam Video series covers the discourses given by the Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji during his Vijaya Yatra in 2007.  The following two discourses are covered in this volume.

The goal of Human Birth – Hindi with English subtitles

During the Jagadguru’s Chatgurmasya camp at Mumbai in 2007, the Jagadguru gave a series of soul stirring discourses.  This discourse emphasizes that the only goal of human birth is moksha (liberation).  While tracing a human’s life, the Jagadguru points out how one always experiences more sufferings than happiness.  The Jagadguru narrates incidences from the lives of Sri Adi Shankara and the 32nd Jagadguru of the Sringeri Peetham and teaches us about the Sadhanas we should perform to follow the path to obtaining Self-realisation.  The Jagadguru urges us to follow the right path now so that we can be assured of liberation.

The importance of human birth – Kannada with English subtitles

In the discourse given in Bellary – Kanartaka in June 20074, the Jagadguru asks us not to get enamoured by worldly objects and lose focus on the importance of our human birth, which we have obtained after performing countless good deeds in prior lives.  The Jagadguru explains through the teachings of the Gita how adherence to Dharma and the practice of the required Sadhanas will help fulfil the purpose of our lives.

  • Weapons do not cut This (Atma); nor does fire does burn It. Water does not wet (nor drown) nor does wind dry It. This (Atma) cannot be slain, nor burnt, nor wetted, nor dried up. It is changeless, all-pervading, stable, immovable and eternal. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • Do not be proud of wealth, people (relations and friends), and youth. All these are snatched by Time in the blink of an eye. Giving up this illusory world, know and attain the Supreme. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Mohamudgara
  • Today God is altogether ignored and this is the cause of all our suffering and misery. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • By God’s grace, we have obtained a human birth, the power of discrimination and someone to teach us about the ultimate, truth. If we still remain lazy, we will be wasting a marvelous opportunity. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • No man is omniscient. Hence man should not have the ego that he knows all. It is ego that leads man astray and drives him to commit sins. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
