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.

 
  • 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
