Jagadguru after performing Kumbhabhisheka at Mallikarjuna swami temple at Hamate

On 26th May 2014, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji graced Hamate Sri Mallikarjuna Swami devasthana (around 20 KMs from Sringeri) and performed a detailed Puja, PunaH Pratishtha and Kumbhabhisheka to Sri Mallikarjuna Swami. In the Guruvandana Sabha held immediately after Kumbhabhisheka, the Jagadguru blessed one and all with an Anugraha Bhashanam. The Jagadguru said that the Lord Vishweshwara at Kashi, Ramanatha at Rameshwaram, Mallikarjuna at Srisailam and Mahakala at Ujjain are one and the same. Except for the names, there is no difference in the Chaitanyam. In our Sanatana Dharma, God is one and not many. In and around Sringeri we see Ishwara worshipped in the name of Mallikarjuna. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankarabhagavatpadacharya also praised the Lord with this name in His beautiful work Shivananda Lahari “सेवे श्रीगिरिमल्लिकार्जुनमहालिङ्गं शिवालिङ्गितम्”. Then the Jagadguru praised the efforts of Sri Sheshadri who had studied in Sringeri Pathashala and and has been serving for many decades as an Archaka in the Chennai R A Puram branch of Sringeri Shankara Math, and felicitated him with a shawl. The Jagadguru blessed all the devotees who took part in this renovation and Kumbhabhisheka activities and blessed all the assembled devotees.

 
  • 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
