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.

 
  • 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
