April 5, 2011

The 99th Aradhana of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sacchidananda Shivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati Mahaswamiji, who adorned the Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham as the 33rd Acharya in the unbroken lineage of masters; was celebrated at Sringeri on April 05, 2011, with great devotional fervour.

The Jagadguru performed special puja at the Adhishthanam of the Sri Sacchidananda Shivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati Mahaswamiji at Narasimhavanam in Sringeri which commenced at 12:30 P.M. Special Phala, Panchamrita and Tirtha abhishekas were performed by the Jagadguru, accompanied by the sonorous chanting of Vedic Mantras by the Math Pandits and students of Sadvidya Sanjeevini Samskrita Mahapathashala, one of the oldest Vedic institutions in the country established by the Mahaswamiji in 1895 A.D. The puja and other ceremonies concluded at around 3:00 P.M. All devotees who had gathered to witness the puja and have darshan were given prasadam at the end of the puja.

 
  • Just as in this body, the embodied one passes through boyhood, youth, and old age, so does one pass into another body. With reference to this (birth, aging and death), the wise man is not disturbed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • An object continues to be dear as long as one derives pleasure from it and it is detested for the duration that it causes pain. The same object cannot be always liked or disliked. Sometimes, that which is not dear may become dear. Moreover, that which was loveable can turn unpleasant. The Atma, towards which affection never wanes, is always the most beloved. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Shatashloki
  • Blessings are the monopoly of God and we must all pray for his gracious blessings. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is pitiful that when many of us are asked, “who are you?”, The first thought that arises is “I am a Keralite”, or “I am a Punjabi”, etc. The thought that should immediately stem is “I am an Indian”. If people first feel that they are Indians and only then think of divisions, the nation will have great prosperity and the divisive forces will not be operative as they are today. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Instead of using the tongue for speaking futile issues, use it to chant the names of God. God shall then guide you along the right and beneficial path. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
