Jagadguru completes Chaturmasya at Sringeri

 

September 5, 2009

The Jagadguru completed the Chaturmasya Vrata on 4th September. The Jagadguru observed the Uma Maheshwara Vrata on the day, and later in the evening, crossed over to the northern bank of the Tunga and had Darshan at Goddess Sharada temple. Thereafter, the Jagadguru walked to the temple of Lord Malahanikareshwara situated on a nearby hillock, and had Darshan.


Special Pooja on Kedareswara Vratam

Earlier, a series of festivals during the Chaturmasya period, starting with the Shravana Somavara Pujas on 27-Jul, 03rd, 10th and 17th August,  Krishna Janmashtami(13th Aug), Vinayaka Chaturthi (23rd August) , Kedareshwara Vrata( 28th Aug), Vamana Jayanti (31st August), and Ananta Padmanabha Vrata (3rd September), were devoutly observed at Sringeri with the Jagadguru performing special Pujas. Ganapati was also worshipped at Pravachana Mandir on the occasion of Vinayaka Chaturthi. The following day, the Ganapati idols were immersed in the river Tunga in the presence of the Jagadguru after the Chandramoulishwara Puja.

This year,  Swarna Gowri Vrata also happened to be on the same day as Vinayaka chaturti (23rd Aug) was observed at Sringeri in the Pravachana Mandiram. Many Suvasinis came to the Math from in and around Sringeri and offered worship.

 
  • 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
