Valedictory function of the 3 days Shibira conducted by Shaankara Tattva Prasaara Abhiyanam at Siddapura Sringeri Shankara Math is in progress on 29Jun 2014

Launched with the blessings of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, the Shaankara Tattva Prasaara Abhiyaanam conducted Shibiras(Workshops) in Bangalore and Siddapura in March and June 2014. The Abhiyaanam focuses on developing Pravachanakaras (Upanyasakas) to spread the tenets of Sanatana Dharma and Vedanta with emphasis on the life and works of Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada. As part of the Abhiyaanam, the second level training programme for the Upanyasakas was conducted via 3 day Shibiras at Bangalore from March 7-9 at the Sringeri Shankara Math, Chamarajpet, Bangalore and in the premises of the Sringeri Shankara Math, Siddapura (near Shirsi) from June 27th to 29th. In both the programmes, scholars from all around Karnataka, addressed the participants and explained various aspects related to Vedanta. The participants also were provided with insights into important verses in the biography of Sri Adi Shankaracharya, the Madhaviya Shankara Digvijaya.

 
  • 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
