Tapasvi Kuteera at Sringeri inaugurated

February 11, 2010

Over the centuries, it has been the practice of many Mathadhipatis and Dandi Sannyasis to come to Sringeri for Darshan of Goddess Sharada and the Sringeri Jagadguru and seek guidance from the Jagadguru on various spiritual and religious matters.

As per the directions of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, a new Tapasvi Kuteera has been constructed for the comfortable stay of visiting Mathadhipatis and Sannyasis in a serene setting on the banks of the Tunga inside Narasimha Vanam at Sringeri. The Mahaswamiji inaugurated the Tapasvi Kuteera on 11th February 2010 and performed a special Chandramoulishwara Puja. CEO & Administrator, Sri V R Gowrishankar and Dr. Yegnasubramanian, Chairman, Sringeri Vidya Bharati Foundation, USA were present on the occasion.

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
