March 7, 2010

Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji started from Sringeri on 3rd March, camped at the Sringeri Shankara Math, Kadur and reached Tiptur the following evening. On 5th March, the Mahaswamiji performed special Puja to Mahaganapati, Goddess Sharada, and Sri Adi Shankaracharya. Shatachandi Mahayaga was conducted on the occasion. The Poornahuti took place in the divine presence of the Mahaswamiji. In the evening, a public function was held to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the establishing of the Math. The Mahaswamiji gave an Anugraha Bhashanam highlighting how the teachings of Sri Adi Shankaracharya apply in the present day. The Mahaswamiji started from Tiptur the next day, halted at Sakkarayapatna and returned to Sringeri on the evening of 7th March.

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
