Jagadguru worships Goddess Durgamba

Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji arrived at the temple of the guardian deity of Sringeri in the southern direction, Goddess Durga on 31st May. In the Sabha organized to welcome the Jagadguru, the Peetham’s CEO & Administrator, Sri V R Gowrishankar remembered the renovation activity in the temple that had been initiated during the time of Mahasannidhanam in the late 1980s. He also mentioned that many thousands of devotees in and around Sringeri Taluk visit the temple and seek the grace of the Goddess. With the blessings of the Jagadguru, the devotees have been conducting a Navachandi Yaga every year. This year, the devotees had come together to conduct a Shatachandi Yaga. The Jagadguru in His Anugraha Bhashanam said that a sincere prayer to Goddess Durga removes the effects of all diseases and provides good health. The Jagadguru commended the devotees for coming together and engaging in Dharmic acts. The Jagadguru then graced the Poornahuti of the Shatachandi Yaga. Immediately afterwards, the Jagadguru went for His noon Snanam and Anhikam and then offered worship to Goddess Durga.

  • 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
