Jagadguru enters Tamil Nadu

 

March 6, 2012

Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji started from Bangalore on the afternoon of 6th March 2012 and reached Krishnagiri in Tamil Nadu to a reverential welcome. In His Anugraha Bhashanam rendered in Tamil, the Jagadguru stressed that it is the duty of every man to reflect on his activities every day and examine if he had acted in accordance to Dharma. The residents of Krishnagiri witnessed the Jagadguru performing the Sharada Chandramoulishwara Puja with great joy. The Jagadguru graced the Shankara Math at Krishnagiri the following morning. Blessing the residents of Krishnagiri who offered Pada Puja and Bhiksha Vandana, the Jagadguru reached Salem in the evening to a tumultuous reception. The Jagadguru first had Darshan at the temple of Kannika Parameshwari and then reached the Sringeri Shankara Math at Agraharam Street. In His Anugraha Bhashanam, the Jagadguru expressed joy at the devotion of the people of Salem and performed the Sharada Chandramoulishwara Puja in the night.

 
  • 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
