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.

 
  • 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
