October 29, 2016

The Birth Centenary Year of the 35th Acharya of Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamiji commences with the observation of His Jayanti in 2016 and will end with the observation of the Jayanti in 2017.

The Jayanti of the Mahaswamiji in 2016, who was born on the auspicious Naraka Chaturdashi in the Pingala Samvatsara (1917 CE), is being observed in Sringeri and in various parts of the country and abroad.

As part of the observation of the Jayanti, devotees may chant the Ashottara Shatanamavali Stotram (available here with English meaning) of the Mahaswamiji composed by His Disciple and the reigning Shankaracharya, Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam.

To that which is born, death is indeed certain; and to that which is dead, birth is certain. Therefore, knowing this, you ought not to grieve over (this) inevitable. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
Daylight and darkness, dusk and dawn, winter and springtime come and go. Time plays and life ebbs away. But the current of desire never leaves. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Mohamudgara
Once you begin to feel the presence of God, a joy unknown to you ever before will begin to be felt. The thought of his ever- living presence with you will be a great solace to you. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
Tendencies develop, regardless of the characteristic of the action performed. Hence, he who wishes to lead a proper life will do well to avoid evil deeds and to repeatedly perform virtuous deeds. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
To err is human. Accepting one’s error and correcting oneself is a mark of nobility. Humility is the primary path to achieving nobility. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
