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.

 
  • The Self (Atma) is never born nor does It ever die; neither does It cease to exist after having once existed nor does the Self come into existence, like the body, having not existed before. Unborn, eternal, It undergoes no change whatsoever and is primeval; It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • A person who hears about the condemnation of another incurs sin. What need be said about the sin incurred by a man who actually engages in nit picking? Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Prabodha Sudhakara
  • If you pray with faith and devotion, the Lord will certainly listen to your earnest prayers. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Our nation and its culture have a hoary past and we should all be proud of it. Mere aping of the West is not beneficial for us. For example, care of aged parents is something that has come down to us traditionally and we must never neglect this duty by imbibing concepts of some free societies, wherein concern for one’s own parents is at low ebb. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is a great blunder not to make proper use of the body and mind that has been given to us by God. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
