Bhagavata Navaham & Prathama Ekadashi

 

Sringeri July 4, 2017

A Navaaham of Srimad Bhagavatam was organised at Sringeri from June 26, 2017 to July 4, 2017 with the blessings of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji and Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam.

Sri Parameswaran Namboodiri of Malliyoor, Kerala and Sri Sridhara Sharma of Bengaluru performed the Parayana of the entire Srimad Bhagavatam over the 9 days. Sri Sridhara Sharma delivered discourses everyday. On July 4 (Prathama Ekadashi), the Navaaham ended in the divine presence of Sri Sannidhanam. Sri Sannidhanam blessed Sri Malliyoor Parameswaran Namboodiri, Sri Sridhara Sharma and devotees led by Sri Anantanarayanan who organised the event.

In His Anugraha Bhashanam, Sri Sannidhanam spoke about the greatness of the Krishna Avatara and Srimad Bhagavatam, and blessed the devotees.

On the occasion of Prathama Ekadashi, Pavamana Abhisheka and a special Puja were performed at the shrine of Sri Janardana Swami Sannidhi in the Math premises.

 
  • 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
