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.

 
  • 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
