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.

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
