26th Aradhana of Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamiji


 

The 26th Aradhana of Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamiji, the 35th Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham at Sringeri, was observed with devotion at Sringeri for 3 days from 3rd October to 5th October, 2015. The entire Adhishthanam complex in Narasimhavanam was beautifully decorated with flowers.

On each of these three days, Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji offered special Aradhana Puja at His Guru’s Adhishthanam at noon. The first day marked the Pushpa Aradhana, the second day Gandha Aradhana and the third day, the Tirtha Aradhana. Sri Sannidhanam, Jagadguru Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji, was also present to offer homage to His Paramaguru. On October 4th and 5th, Sri Sannidhanam distributed Gandha and Tirtha respectively to the assembled devotees at around 3:00 PM in Guru Nivas. Sri Mahasannidhanam also offered worship at His Guru’s Adhishthanam after the daily Chandramoulishwara Puja on all three nights. The night Puja at the Adhishthanam included Rudra Krama Archana followed by Ashtaavadhaana Seva.

The Aradhana was also observed at various branches of the Peetham in worshipful remembrance of the 35th Acharya of the Peetham.

 
  • 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
