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.

 
  • 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
