Varshikotsava of Sadvidya Sanjeevini Samskrita Mahapathashala

 

March 12, 2010

The 115th Varshikotsava of Sri Sadvidya Sanjeevini Samskrita Mahapathashala took place on 12th March 2010. Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji graced the function held in the morning to commemorate the event. Dr. Sannidhanam Sudarshana Sharma, Vice-Chancellor of Sri Venkateswara Vedic University in His Sanskrit speech spoke about the knowledge tradition of India. The Mahaswamiji released Sadvidya, the Pathashala Souvenir and gave a Sanskrit Anugraha Bhashanam. In His Anugraha Bhashanam, the Mahaswamiji mentioned the qualities of a Vedic student as stated in Yaska’s Nirukta and the Smritis. The scriptures advise that the actions, thoughts and speech of a student must be aligned and in conformance with each other. A student must be free from jealousy, and must strive to excel. As part of the event, Vidyarthis were awarded prizes for their successful endeavours. In the evening, a cultural programme was conducted by the Vidyarthis that included a Sanskrit drama “Haasya vikaasah”, and a Kannada Yakshagana depicting Rukmini Kalyanam.

 
  • 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
