Narasimha Jayanti

 

May 17, 2019

On May 17 2019, Narasimha Jayanti was celebrated at Sringeri.

At noon, Sri Mahasannidhanam offered a special Puja at Guru Nivas to the golden Vigraha of Lord Lakshmi Narasimha. Vedic Chants comprising the Purusha Sukta, the Narayana Sukta and Vishnu Sukta filled the air as the Jagadguru performed Abhisheka to Lord Narasimha, the Avatara signifying the omnipresence of the Lord. Sri Sannidhanam witnessed the Mahamangalarati and was present as Sri Mahasannidhanam performed the Parayana of Srimad Bhagavatam depicting the Avatara of Lord Narasimha.

Earlier in the day, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam had Darshan and witnessed the Mahamangalarati to Lord Narasimha on the external southern wall of the Sri Vidyashankara temple.

Special worship was also offered at the Lord Lakshmi Narasimha temple located in the Narasimhapura Agrahara in Sringeri. In the evening, Sri Sannidhanam arrived at the temple for Darshan, during which time, Mahamangalaratri, Ashtavadhana Seva and chanting of the Lakshmi Narasimha Pancharatnam (composed by Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya) took place.

 
  • 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
