Ratha Saptami was observed on February 14, 2016. A special Puja to Lord Suryanarayana swamy seated on a sandalwood chariot was performed in the morning at Sri Narasimha Bharati Yagashala in the presence of the Ubhaya Jagadgurus. Earlier, a Surya Homa was also performed.

Sri Sannidhanam then proceeded to the temple of Sri Suryanarayanaswamy at Elmagge, near Narasimha Vanam. Sri Sannidhanam offered worship to the deity at the temple, set in a sylvan ambience at the banks of the river Tunga. Panchamrita Abhisheka was performed amidst chants of Vedic hymns to Lord Suryanarayana swamy. The hymns included the Maha-Saura Suktam from the Rig Veda.

  • 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

  • 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
