Jagadguru having darshan of
Sri Chennakeshava Swami at Belur

In the evening, the Jagadguru had Darshan of Sri Chennakeshava Swamy at the famous Belur temple and returned to the Math where a public function was organized. In His Anugraha Bhashanam, the Jagadguru mentioned that the Lord has assumed many names and forms as it is not easy for the mind to grasp the formless Supreme. Sri Adi Shankaracharya instilled faith in God amidst the masses, and pointed out that the various forms are of the same Divinity. The Jagadguru conveyed that it is the duty of the Acharyas to undertake Vijaya Yatras, inculcate faith in Dharma amidst the disciples, and propagate Dharma. The Jagadguru also said that He was merely following the footsteps of Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamiji who had established many centres where people could worship God, and gather to harbor good thoughts and attain Shreyas. The Jagadguru had a special word of blessing for Kalasapura Thammayya and his descendants who were instrumental in the Dharmic activities at the Math in Belur.

The Jagadguru then performed the Sharada Chandramoulishwara Puja. Devotees can witness the Jagadguru performing the elaborate Puja wherever the Jagadguru halts for the night during the Vijaya Yatra.

 
  • 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
