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.

 
  • 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
