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.

 
  • 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
