Jagadguru inaugurates stotra portal

 

October 3, 2014

On Vijayadashami (October 3, 2014), the Jagadguru performed the Parayana of the Pattabhisheka Sarga of Srimad Valmiki Ramayanam and inaugurated –

“Jagadguru Stotra Ratna Mala (http://stotra.sringeri.net)”

– a web-portal developed by Sri R. Sivaramakrishna Sharma of Sri Shankara Advaita Research Centre of the Peetham. Speaking on the occasion, Administrator & CEO, Sri V R Gowrishankar mentioned that the website will serve as a virtual gurukulam to everyone who wishes to learn stotras with proper pronunciation. The website not only contains stotras but also comes with two types of audio for each stotra. The first is a verse by verse chanting of the Stotras. The second audio contains a line-by-line teaching of every verse of the Stotras. Sri Gowrishankar said that with very few people chanting Stotras today and with even fewer teaching Stotras to the younger generation, the website would serve as a great boon to everyone interested in learning Stotras. The stotras are available in various scripts including Devanagari, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, Gujarati and Roman (with diacritics).

 
  • 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
