All the Sevakas of Sringeri Sharada Peetham who were involved in the preparation and conduct of the Uttaradhikari Shishya Sweekara function assembled at Gurunivas in Narasimhavanam on the morning of January 30, 2015 to have Darshan of Mahasannidhanam, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji and Sannidhanam, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji and offered Samashti Bhikshavandanam.

While Ganga is the Tirtha (place of pilgrimage) for the ignorant and knowledge is the Tirtha for the wise, I take refuge in Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha, who is the bliss-giving Tirtha for all.
विद्याविनयसम्पन्नं वीतरागं विवेकिनम् ।

I offer my prostrations to Jagadguru Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati, who is endowed with knowledge and humility, who is free of desires, who is endowed with discrimination (of the real and unreal), and who is a knower of the Vedanta Tattva.
