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.

 
  • 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

  • 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
