After completing the Mahashivaratri and Sri Durgamba Rathothsava celebrations, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji continued the Vijaya Yatra in Karnataka. Starting from Sringeri in the evening of 12th March 2014, the Jagadguru started the North Karnataka Yatra from Honnaali of Davanagere District. The highlights of the Yatra included the Jagadguru performing the Kumbhabhishekas of the new Sringeri Shankara Math branches at 3 places namely Bijapur, Afzalpur and Raichur. The fourth Kumbhabhisheka during the Yatra was at Kevalananda Ashrama in Shikharipura. In His various Anugraha Bhashanams during the Yatra, the Jagadguru spoke on the tenets of the philosophy of Advaita – the Shaankara Tattva. Special Pravachana Malikas were also set in motion in a few towns in North Karnataka. The Jagadguru also offered worship at the Nirguna Paduka Kshetram in Ganagapura.

For the protection of the righteous ones (committed to dharma), for the destruction of the unrighteous ones (follow adharma), and for the establishment of dharma I take birth in every age. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
O devotee, (with the mind) fixed upon the lotus feet of the Guru! May you soon be free from Samsara. Through the control of the senses and the mind, you shall behold the Lord indwelling in your heart! Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Mohamudgara
Have firm faith in God, his words and his servants. Have staunch belief in your religion and in dharma. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
An ideal disciple will indeed act as per the Guru’s instructions and not give place to thoughts as “Is it possible for me to do as he says? Shall I try something else?” If we follow our Guru’s instructions, it does not mean that we are unintelligent. It only implies that we have surrendered for our own good to a power superior to us. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
If we poke our nose into matters that do not concern us, it is we who lose our precious time. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
