As part of the Celebrations, the Jagadguru first had Darshan of all temples in the morning. Sahasra Naarikela Homa was performed in the Jagadguru Sri Narasimha Bharati Yaga Shala, opposite the Goddess Sharada temple. CEO & Administrator Sri V R Gowrishankar undertook the Sankalpa for the Homa.

Special Abhisheka was performed to the Utsava Moorti of Goddess Sharada and Mahamangalarati took place in the Jagadguru’s presence. At around 12:30 pm, the Poornahuti of the Sahasra Naarikela Homa took place in the divine presence of the Jagadguru. A 12 hour nonstop Veena Vaadana program was also conducted in the temple.

In the afternoon, special Anna Santarpanam was performed by the Peetham for all the volunteers who served in the Bhojana Shala during the Navaratri function. In the evening, a public function was held in the Jagadguru’s presence. The Jagadguru blessed all the staff of the Peetham and the assembled devotees.

 
  • 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
