Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri

Prathishta Kumbhabhisheka Lakshmi Venkataramana Swamy, Kunimakki 

 

February 6, 2012

On 6th February 2012,  Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji performed the Kumbhabhisheka of Lakshmi Venkataramana Swamy, Kunimakki.

Administrator & CEO of the Peetham, Sri V R Gowrishankar speaking on the occasion said that the Peetham had resolved to renovate temples in the Sringeri Taluk during the Silver Jubilee year  (1999)of the Sannyasa Sweekara of the Jagadguru and has renovated hundreds of temples since then.

The Jagadguru in His Anugraha Bhashanam said that if a village has to prosper and its residents be happy and contented, it is essential to nurture the temples in it. If one does not respect the sanctity of the Lord’s presence in a village temple, it does not augur well for the village.  Do not everyone go to the temple to rest one’s burdens and difficulties at the Lotus Feet of the Lord? Hence it is essential to be devoted and visit temples regularly. The Jagadguru commended the efforts of the residents and blessed the gathering.

 
  • 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
