Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri

E-book on the proceedings of the Mahaganapati Vakyartha Vidwat Sabha


 

The Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Sringeri is widely revered as the supreme authority in the Shastras. The annual Mahaganapati Vakyartha Vidwat Sabha conducted for about 12 days during the Vinayaka Chaturthi festival is unmatched in the scholarship of the discussions, that take place entirely in Sanskrit under the presidentship of the Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Sringeri.

The following link contains the succinct Papers (Vakyartha) presented by the scholars on Shastraic concepts during the previous years’ sadas that took place under the presidentship of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji.

  • 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
  • Today God is altogether ignored and this is the cause of all our suffering and misery. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • 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
