March 26, 2014


Devotees deeply engrossed in listening to the Anugraha Bhashanam of the Jagadguru Mahaswamiji at Hospet on 25 March 2014

The Jagadguru arrived at Hospet of Bellary District in the evening of 25th March 2014 and was given a reverential welcome by the devotees of Hospet. Then there was a Shobha Yatra. In the Swagata sabha, the Jagadguru in His Anugraha Bhashanam, elaborated on the qualities of an Astika and the root cause for suffering in the world. On 26th morning, after giving Darshan to the devotees of Hospet and blessing them with Phala Mantakshata and Tirtha Prasada, the Jagadguru graced the Poornahuti of Navachandi Homa conducted by the Hospet Taluk Brahmana Sabha. The Homa was conducted on the occasion of the foundation stone laying ceremony for Sri Gayatri Devasthana and Samudaya Bhavana (community hall) at Krishna Nagar, Hospet. After the Poornahuti, the Jagadguru laid the foundation stone and blessed every one assembled there with an Ashirvachanam in which He emphasized the need for being united in the society. The Jagadguru departed from Hospet after 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
