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.

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
