Vijaya Yatra Website Update: The Power of the Mere Glance of Mahatmas

August 22, 2013

The Jagadguru’s Anugraha Bhashanam entitled “The Power of the Mere Glance of Mahatmas” delivered at Karur (Tamil Nadu) on June 6, 2012 has been added to the Vijaya Yatra website. http://vijayayatra.sringeri.net/karur-june-6-2012/

Karur is close to Nerur, the Samadhi place of the saint, Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra, who is held in the highest esteem by the Jagadgurus of Sringeri. The Jagadguru mentioned that the association with Sringeri Jagadgurus began when the 33rd Jagadguru of Sringeri, Sri Sri Sacchidananda Shivabhinava Narasimha Bharati Mahaswamiji came to Nerur, had Darshan of the Adhishtanam of Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra and composed hymns on Sri Brahmendra and gave a Anugraha Bhashanam.

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
