Jagadguru graces Gulbarga, North Karnataka

 

March 21, 2014

Wherever the Jagadguru graces, the residents of the place deem it a day of festival underlined by feelings of Guru Bhakti. Gulbarga was no exception in this regard. Arrangements were done to receive the Jagadguru in a grand manner. The Jagadguru arrived in the evening of 20th March and was given a grand welcome. Then the Jagadguru was taken reverentially in a procession to the Sringeri Shankara Math at Gulbarga. The Jagadguru then gave a splendid Anugraha Bhashanam and launched the Pravachana Malika programme as part of the Peetham’s Shaankara Tattva Prasara Abhiyanam. Thousands of devotees felt blessed listening to the Anugraha Bhashanam, wherein the Mahaswamiji elucidated the Advaita Siddhanta as expounded by Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya. On the 21st morning, the Jagadguru Mahaswamiji visited the Gangotri Veda Pathashala and blessed the Vaidikas there. The Jagadguru then gave Darshan at the Sringeri Shankara Math to all the devotees, blessed them with Phala Mantrakshata and Tirtha Prasada and departed in the evening.

  • Just as in this body, the embodied one passes through boyhood, youth, and old age, so does one pass into another body. With reference to this (birth, aging and death), the wise man is not disturbed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • An object continues to be dear as long as one derives pleasure from it and it is detested for the duration that it causes pain. The same object cannot be always liked or disliked. Sometimes, that which is not dear may become dear. Moreover, that which was loveable can turn unpleasant. The Atma, towards which affection never wanes, is always the most beloved. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Shatashloki
  • Blessings are the monopoly of God and we must all pray for his gracious blessings. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is pitiful that when many of us are asked, “who are you?”, The first thought that arises is “I am a Keralite”, or “I am a Punjabi”, etc. The thought that should immediately stem is “I am an Indian”. If people first feel that they are Indians and only then think of divisions, the nation will have great prosperity and the divisive forces will not be operative as they are today. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Instead of using the tongue for speaking futile issues, use it to chant the names of God. God shall then guide you along the right and beneficial path. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
