Sahasra Chandika Mahayaga Purnahuti

The Sahasrachandika Mahayaga that started on June 6th, concluded with the Poornahuti in the divine prescence of the Jagadguru Mahaswamiji. The Mahayaga was conducted at the Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Sabha Bhavanam with Ritwiks performing Homa in 10 Homa kundas. The Jagadguru graced the Purnahuti by noon and blessed the devotees. Then Dasha danam, Suvasini and Kanyaka Puja connected with the Mahayaga took place. There was a heavy downpour in the afternoon without any disturbance to the on-going celebrations.

Kotikumkumarchana Continues

Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji graced the Math precincts in the Northern bank of the Tunga river at around 9:20 am. At Sharadamba temple, after having the Darshan of Goddess Sharadamba, the Jagadguru remained in the temple for one full session of Lalita Sahasranama Parayana being conducted as part of the Koti Kumkumarchana. Again in the evening the Jagadguru came to the temple by 5:45PM and remained for one full session of Lalita Sahasranama.

Atirudra Mahayaga

As a part of the ongoing Atirudra-Mahayaga, the chanting of Sri Rudra Prashna by the 121 Ritwiks created an ethereal ambience. The Parayanam started at 7 am in the morning and went on till noon. The Rudra Kramarchana started by 4:30 pm and ended with Ashtavadhana Seva & Mahamangalarati by 6:30 pm.

Cultural Programme

As part of the 10th day Celebrations of the Rajagopuram Kumbhabhisheka, the cultural programme featured Saxaphone vadana by renowned musician Asthana Vidwan Sri Kadri Gopalanath and group. Before beginning the concert, Sri Gopalanath mentioned that it is a great privilege to perform during the Kumbhabhisheka celebrations. He added that performing in the divine presence of the Jagadguru is in fact performing in front of Goddess Sharadamba. He began his concert with the brilliant Tilang Raga, playing “Sri Ganesha Sharanam” a composition by Papanasam shivan. The Jagadguru came from the temple of Sharadamba and blessed the musicians and remained till the completion of the song “Sri Ganesha Sharanam”.

  • 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
