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.

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
