Jagadguru graces Ranebennur, North Karnataka

 

March 13, 2014

The Jagadguru arrived at Ranebennur of Haveri District on the evening of 13th March 2014. A warm reverential welcome was given to the Jagadguru by the devotees of Ranebennur and a grand procession was arranged which lasted for more than a hour. The Jagadguru was taken respectfully in the procession to the newly constructed Shankara Math at Ranebennur. The Math has Sannidhis for Sri Shankara Bhagavatpada, Sri Sharadamba and Sri Chandramoulishwara. From there the Jagadguru went for His evening ablutions, Anushthanam and came for Puja. The Sabha programme happened after the Puja and the Jagadguru blessed the devotees with an Anugraha Bhashanam after the Puja. In the Bhashanam, the Jagadguru explained how can we make this human birth meaningful and expressed the happiness to observe the faith and devotion in the people of Ranebennur. On 13th morning the Jagadguru Mahaswamiji visited Sri Mailaralinga Devasthana and opened the newly constructed building in the Devasthana. After blessing the devotees of Ranebennur with Phala Mantrakshata and Tirtha Prasada, the Jagadguru departed from Ranebennur in the evening.

 
  • 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
