On 22nd May 2015, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam performed the Punah Pratishtha Kumbhabhisheka at Sri Rajagopalaswamy temple in Sringeri. The four-century old temple of the Peetham is located near the base of the Malahanikareshwara temple.

In His Anugraha Bhashanam, Sri Mahasannidhanam extolled the Lord in His Avatara as Sri Krishna. Sri Krishna Paramatma not only protected the good and annihilated the evil but also blessed all mankind forever by imparting the Bhagavad Gita. Truly, it is Lord Sri Krishna who has been first addressed as “Jagadguru”, stated Sri Mahasannidhanam. It is our bounden duty to revere and worship the Lord as Sri Krishna. Accordingly, we find thousands of temples dedicated to Lord Sri Krishna. It is most fitting that the temple of Sri Rajagopalaswamy has bedecked Sringeri for the past 400 years. Sri Mahasannidhanam expressed happiness at having conducted the Jeernodharana Kumbhabhishekha of the temple, which is administered by the Peetham.

 
  • 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
