Jagadguru performing pratishtha of Deveshwara at Haradanahalli

On the morning of 27th February, the Jagadguru proceeded from Belur to Haradanahalli, where He performed the Prathishta Kumbhabhisheka of Deveshwara temple. In His Anugraha Bhashanam, the Jagadguru said that it is natural for everyone to strive for happiness and the removal of one’s suffering. However we find that not all achieve success in this endeavor. The Shastras declare that it is hence essential to have faith in the existence of the Supreme Lord and act in accordance to Dharma. While those who resort to Adharma and adopt unrighteous means may seem to accomplish their immediate objectives, their fall is definite. Hence even in the midst of suffering, one should not forsake Dharma. The Jagadguru blessed the devotees, led by former Prime Minister Sri Deve Gowda and his son Sri Revanna who constructed the temple.

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
