November 8, 2015

The 26th anniversary of the Pattabhisheka day (marking the day of the ascendance to the Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham at Sringeri) of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji was celebrated on November 1st 2015. On this auspicious day, a Sahasra Narikela Homa was performed and Poornahuti took place in the Divine Presence of Sri Mahasannidhanam and Sri Sannidhanam (Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam). Earlier, the Jagadgurus had Darshan at all the temples in the premises of the Math. In the evening, a function was held in the presence of the Ubhaya Jagadgurus to recognize the efforts of the Sevaks who are serving the Math. Sri V R Gowrishankar, CEO & Administrator of the Peetham, read out the report of the Navaratri celebrations and mentioned that this year’s Navaratri was historic in that the Ubhaya Jagadgurus graced the Durbar, the first after the Shishya Sweekara in January 2015. The Ubhaya Jagadgurus then blessed all the staff of the Peetham and the assembled devotees.

On 8th November, Sannyasa Sweekara day of Sri Mahasannidhanam was observed. The Ubhaya Jagadgurus had Darshan at all the temples in the Math.

 
  • Just as in this body, the embodied one passes through boyhood, youth, and old age, so does one pass into another body. With reference to this (birth, aging and death), the wise man is not disturbed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • An object continues to be dear as long as one derives pleasure from it and it is detested for the duration that it causes pain. The same object cannot be always liked or disliked. Sometimes, that which is not dear may become dear. Moreover, that which was loveable can turn unpleasant. The Atma, towards which affection never wanes, is always the most beloved. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Shatashloki
  • Blessings are the monopoly of God and we must all pray for his gracious blessings. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is pitiful that when many of us are asked, “who are you?”, The first thought that arises is “I am a Keralite”, or “I am a Punjabi”, etc. The thought that should immediately stem is “I am an Indian”. If people first feel that they are Indians and only then think of divisions, the nation will have great prosperity and the divisive forces will not be operative as they are today. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Instead of using the tongue for speaking futile issues, use it to chant the names of God. God shall then guide you along the right and beneficial path. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
