Mahaswamiji graces Bhagavata Utsava at Perumbavoor

May 13, 2010

Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharathi Tirtha Mahaswamiji graced the week-long “Tapasya-Mathrubhoomi Bhagavatotsavam” in the evening of 13th May at Sastha Nagar, Permbavoor.
The organizers expressed that it is the good fortune of the people of Perumbavoor that the Mahaswamiji graced the venue.

The Mahaswamiji in His Anugraha Bhashanam extolled the greatness of Srimad Bhagavatam stating that the Mahapurana is verily a Kalpatharu capable of fulfilling the desires of seekers. The Mahaswamiji said the crème of Bhagavatham is the Dashama Skandam that bring out the Leelas of Lord Krishna. The Mahaswamiji then brought back to memory the stay of His Parameshti Guru, Jagadguru Sri Sachchidananda Shivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati Mahaswamiji at Perumbavoor. It was at Perumbavoor that Mother Aryamba appeared to the Mahaswamiji in a dream and confirmed the rediscovery of Kalady.

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
