Aradhanas of Guru and Paramaguru

 

October 4, 2013

The 24th Aradhana of Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamiji, the 35th Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham at Sringeri, was observed with devotion at Sringeri for 3 days from 25th September to 27th September.

The entire Adhishthanam complex at Narasimhavanam was beautifully decorated with flowers. On all three days, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji offered special Aradhana Puja at His Guru’s Adhisthanam at noon. On the main Aradhana day, Bhadrapada Krishna Shashti – 26th September, the Jagadguru performed the Aradhana Puja and later distributed Gandha (Chandana) Prasada to the devotees. The following day, the Jagadguru performed the Puja at noon and distributed Tirtha Prasada to the assembled devotees at around 3 pm. The Jagadguru also offered worship to His Guru after the daily Chandramoulishwara Puja at night. The night Puja included Rudra Krama Archana followed by Ashtavadana Seva.

Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji offered special Aradhana Puja at the Adhishthanam of His Paramaguru, the renowned Jivanmukta Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji (the 34th Jagadguru Shankaracharya of the Peetham) on the Mahalaya Amavasya (4th October), marking the 59th Aradhana day. The Mahaswamiji also performed a special Puja with Rudrakrama Archana at night. Hundreds of devotees witnessed the Pujas.

Both the Aradhanas were observed at the various branches of the Peetham in worshipful remembrance of the Acharyas.

 
  • 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
