Puja on Jayanti of Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamiji on 30 Oct

The Jayantis of the 34th Acharya, Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji and 35th Acharya, Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamiji were observed on 30th October and 2nd November respectively.

On both days, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji offered homage to His Guru and Paramaguru at the Adhisthanam shrines in Narasimha Vanam at noon. The Jagadguru also performed a special Puja at the shrines at night.

Both the Jayantis were also observed by Sri Sadvidya Sanjeevini Samskrta Mahapatashala of the Peetham. On both days, the Vidyarthis and Pandits of the Pathashala assembled at the Adhistana Mandapa for a Sabha. The Sabha began with Veda Parayana and salutations to the Jagadgurus of Sringeri. This was followed by a couple of Vidyarthis recounting the life of the Jagadgurus. The Sabhas were presided over by Vidwan Ganapati Bhat and Vidwan Krishnaraja Bhat respectively. The scholars narrated incidents from the lives of the Jagadgurus in Sanskrit.
