Silver Dindi utsava : Marking the Silver Jubilee year of the Peetharohanam of the Jagadguru the silver Ratha of Sharadamba which is used for the Dindi Utsava everyday of the week (except Friday when the Golden Ratha is used) was refurbished with additional silver and offered. In the afternoon, special Anna Santarpanam was performed by the Peetham for all the volunteers who served in the Bhojana Shala during the Navaratri function. In the evening, a function was held in the Jagadguru’s presence to address the Sevakas of the Peetham. Addressing the gathering, the CEO and Administrator of the Peetham Gurusevadhurina Dr. V R Gowrishankar mentioned
that a grand function befitting the Silver Jubilee Year of the Peetharohanam of the Jagadguru must have been held on the occasion. However, due to a series of events in the year including the grand Rajagopuram Kumbhabhisheka, the function could not be held immediately. On behalf of all devotees, Sri Gowrishankar prayed at the Lotus Feet of the Jagadguru for the Anugraha to celebrate the occasion in Janauary 2015. The Jagadguru blessed all the Sevakas of the Peetham and 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
