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.

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
