Veda Sabha at Narasaraopet

A Veda Sabha was organised at Sri Sringeri Shankara Math, Narasaraopet on 21st March 2009. Conducted with the blessings of the Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, about 100 Vedic scholars from Guntur district participated and performed a complete Parayana of Krishna Yajur Veda in the morning. In the afternoon session, Ghana Swasti Vachanam by Veda Ghanapathis took place. The Sabha took place on the occasion of the 89th birthday of late Vedic scholar, Vedabrahmasri Tangirala Venkateshwara Avadhani, who was the Poorvashrama father of the Sringeri Jagadguru. The Dharmic life led by Sri Avadhani and his virtues such as devotion to Guru, humility and contentment were described by the chief guest, Vidwan Vishwanatha Gopala Krishna Shastri, Rajahmundry and the Sabha Convenor, Sri Tangirala Dakshinamurthy.

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
