Jagadguru graces Rik Samhita Yaga at Anegunda


 


Jagadguru graces the Purnahuti of the Rik-Samhita Yaga at Anegunda

On 8th May, the Jagadguru graced the Agrahara of Anegunda near Sringeri. The Jagadguru was received with Poornakumbha by devotees and first had Darshan at the temples of Sri Gopalakrishna Swamy and Sri Gangadhareshwara Swamy. The Jagadguru then graced the Poornahuti of the Shaakala Rik Samhita Yaga that had begun on 1st May 2013. The Jagadguru in His Anugraha Bhashanam said that the performance of the Samhita Yaga is most praiseworthy for Ahuti is offered by chanting every Mantra of the Veda. The Jagadguru blessed the family of Nagari Bhatta who had performed the Yaga. It may be noted here that the family had originally planned to perform the Yaga a year back but had waited for the Jagadguru to return to Sringeri after the Vijaya Yatra, so that the Poornahuti may take place in the Jagadguru’s presence.

 
  • 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
