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.

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
