Prathishta of Deveshwara at Haradanahalli


 


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.

  • An ideal disciple will indeed act as per the Guru’s instructions and not give place to thoughts as “Is it possible for me to do as he says? Shall I try something else?” If we follow our Guru’s instructions, it does not mean that we are unintelligent. It only implies that we have surrendered for our own good to a power superior to us. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • If we poke our nose into matters that do not concern us, it is we who lose our precious time. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
