Jagadguru’s Pattabhishekha Day

October 27, 2008

Pattabhisheka day (marking the day of the ascendance to the Sharada Peetham) of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji fell on October 19th. The Jagadguru had ascended the Peetham as the 36th Acharya on the same day 19 years ago. On this auspicious day, a Sahasra Narikela Homa was performed in the Jagadguru Sri Nrisimha Bharati Yagashalam, housed in the heritage structure opposite the Goddess Sharada temple. Poornahuti took place in the Jagadguru’s Divine Presence. Despite the day being sunny, a short shower occurred for the entire duration of the Poornahuti indicative of Divine Blessings. In the evening, a public function was held in the Jagadguru’s presence. The Jagadguru blessed all the staff of the Peetham and the assembled devotees.

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
