An interesting and informative Pravachanam by Smt. Anantalakshmi Ammal of Bangalore, founder of Geetha Guru Samskrita Sangha, Bangalore, was held at the premises of Sri Sringeri Shankara Math at Chembur, Mumbai for 3 days from 5th March to 7th March 2011. Smt. Ananthalakshmi Ammal, in her pravachanam, vividly explained the Guru Mahima and dealt with the greatness of the five Acharyas of Sringeri Sri Sharadha Peetham culiminating with the present Jagadguru Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji. Those devotees who were present in the Pravachanam felt that they have gone through the life of all the Five Acharyals. Photo taken on the occassion can be viewed in the gallery below.

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
