On March 1st, the staff serving in the premises of the Peetham felicitated the Peetham’s Administrator and CEO, Guru Seva Dhurina Padmashri Gowrishankar for his services rendered in the past 23 years.

Sri Gowrishankar was presented with a silver idol of Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji and a silk shawl. Members from various departments of the Peetham spoke of their experiences with Sri Gowrishankar.

Sri Gowrishankar gave a thought-provoking speech that served to inspire the Sevakas. He thanked all the Sevakas serving the Peetham along with him, and offered his sincere Pranams to the Jagadguru and attributed everything to the Guru’s Grace and the Anugraha of Goddess Sharada

 
  • 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
