Jagadguru Mahaswamiji worshipping Lord Lakshmi Narasimha on the occasion of Narasimha Jayanti

On May 13th 2014, the Narasimha Jayanti was celebrated with Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji offering special Puja to Lord Lakshmi Narasimha at Gurunivas at noon. Vedic Chants comprising Purusha Sukta, Narayana Sukta and Vishnu Sukta of Rig Veda filled the air as the Jagadguru performed Abhisheka to Lord Narasimha, the Avatara signifying the omnipresence of the Lord. At the end of the Puja, the Jagadguru also did Parayana of Srimad Bhagavatam that depicts the Avatara of Lord Narasimha. In the evening, the Jagadguru went to the Lakshminarasimha Swami temple at Narasimhapura and had Darshan when the evening Arati was performed.

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
