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.

To that which is born, death is indeed certain; and to that which is dead, birth is certain. Therefore, knowing this, you ought not to grieve over (this) inevitable. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
Daylight and darkness, dusk and dawn, winter and springtime come and go. Time plays and life ebbs away. But the current of desire never leaves. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Mohamudgara
Once you begin to feel the presence of God, a joy unknown to you ever before will begin to be felt. The thought of his ever- living presence with you will be a great solace to you. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
Tendencies develop, regardless of the characteristic of the action performed. Hence, he who wishes to lead a proper life will do well to avoid evil deeds and to repeatedly perform virtuous deeds. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
To err is human. Accepting one’s error and correcting oneself is a mark of nobility. Humility is the primary path to achieving nobility. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
