Qualities of a Disciple: Vijaya Yatra Website Update

August 27, 2012

The Jagadguru’s third Anugraha Bhashanam of the Chaturmasya Series has been added to the Vijaya Yatra website.

The Jagadguru described “Sadhana Chatushtaya” (the four fold qualifications for an aspirant of Vedanta) in His first Chaturmasya Anugraha Bhashanam and the “Shamaadi Shatkam” – the six qualities of an aspirant of Vedanta in the second Bhashanam.

In the third Bhashanam of this series, the Jagadguru speaks at length about the qualities and character of a Shisya (Disciple).

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
