Shaankara Tattva Prasaara Abhiyaanam at Mysore

Under the direction of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, the Peetham has launched a programme called the Shaankara Tattva Prasaara Abhiyaanam in November 2009. The programme focuses on developing Pravachanakaras to spread the tenets of Sanatana Dharma and Advaita Vedanta with emphasis on the life and works of Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada.

As part of the Abhiyaanam, a first level programme, similar to the ones conducted in Sringeri, Kollur and Bangalore, was held on December 25 and 26, 2010 in the Sringeri Shankara Math premises in Mysore. Sri Ramdas, MLA, Mysore participated in the inauguration function and spoke about the greatness of Sri Adi Shankaracharya and his unique place of importance in Indian history. Scholars from all around Karnataka addressed the participants and explained various aspects related to Sanatana Dharma and Advaita Vedanta. Detailed lectures on the life of Sri Adi Shankaracharya from the Madhaviya Shankara Digvijaya was delivered. Program co-ordinator, Prof. Shikarupura Krishnamurti and Dharmadhikari of Sri Sringeri Shankara Math, Sri H Ramachandra ensured the successful conduct of the programme. About 75 participants benefitted from the programme.

 
  • 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

  • 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
