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.

 
  • 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
