Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam performed the Varamahalakshmi Vrata on the evening of 28th August, 2015. After the Jagadguru performed the Mahamangalarati, Suvasini Puja was performed.

On 5th September, Sri Mahasannidhanam offered special Puja to Lord Sri Krishna on the occasion of Sri Krishna Jayanti. Sri Sannidhanam was present during the Mahamangalarati. Sri Mahasannidhanam also read out the 3rd chapter of the 10th Skanda of Srimad Bhagavatam that describes the birth of Sri Krishna.

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
