Saama Samhita Yaga Poornahuti

 

December 10, 2014

On 10th December 2014, the Jagadguru visited Vidyaranyapura Agrahara in Sringeri and graced the Poornahuti of Sama Samhita Mahayaga in the house of Sringeri Math Samaveda Pandit Veda Brahma Sri Ramamurthi Shrauti. The Yaga was conducted for 7 days marking the 50th anniversary of Datta Jayanti celebrated since the time of Sri Shrauti’s birth by his father. The disciples of Sri Shrauti ji who learnt Sampurna Sama Veda from Sri Shrauti made all the arrangements for the Yaga. Talking on the occasion Veda Brahma Sri Ramamurthy Shrauti expressed that there is no place purer than Sringeri in the earth and there is no Guru greater than Sringeri Jagadguru. As per divine guidance, he had come to Sringeri and never had a second thought to leave Sringeri anytime. Eminent Sama Veda Pandits from all parts of India were invited by Sri Shrauti and participated in the Yaga. Blessing the Sama Veda scholars assembled, the Jagadguru said in his Anugraha Bhashanam that the Vedas protect those who protect the Vedas i.e. study and pass it on the next generations. The life of Sri Ramamurthy Shrauti is a testimony to this fact. The Jagdguru expressed great happiness in seeing the four generations of Guru-Shishyas of Samaveda, starting from Vedabrahma Sri Ramamurthy Shrauti.

 
  • 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
