February 8, 2011

Every year, Varshika Mahotsavam celebrations are conducted at the shrines of Sri Ratnagarbha Ganapathy, Sri Saradambal and Sri Navaneethakrishna at the Branch Math premises on the star on which the Kumbhabhishekam of the shrines was performed by His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Bharati Theertha Mahaswamiji in the year 1982. This year, the said day falls on 09.02.2011. The programme commences at 7.15 A.M in the morning with Ganapathy Homa, Mahanyasa Ekadasha Rudra Japa, Abhisheka at the shrines, Purnahuti of Sri Rudra Homa, Kalasabhisheka and Deeparadhana followed by distribution of prasada to all devotees at 12.45 P.M. In the evening, around 7 P.M, the deities (utsavamurthys) will be taken in procession along the adjoining streets of the Branch Math in different vahanas, amidst veda ghosha and vaadya. The procession will return to the Math premises at 11 PM.

All devotees are requested to participate in the Varshika Mahotsava – the japa, homa, abhisheka and the procession and become the recipients of Sri Sri Ratnagarbha Ganapathy, Sri Saradambal and Sri Navaneethakrishna and
of the Jagadguru.

 
  • 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
