July 11, 2019

With the blessings of the Sringeri Jagadgurus, the second Sharadamba temple in the USA located at Farmington Hills near Detroit, Michigan was consecrated on July 11, 2019. With the first temple consecrated in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, this temple is the second of its kind in the USA constructed by the Sringeri Vidya Bharati Foundation (SVBF), an overseas affiliate of the Sringeri Math. The Kumbhabhisheka ceremonies were presided over by Math CEO, ‘Guru Seva Dhurina’ Dr. VR Gowrishankar and SVBF Chairman, ‘Dharmatma’ Dr. S Yegnasubramanian. Ritwiks from India conducted the ceremonies.

On the morning of the Kumbhabhisheka day, the Anugraha Sandeshas of the Ubhaya Jagadgurus were beamed live from Sringeri. The Prathishtha Kumbhabhisheka of the shrines for Goddess Sharadamba, Mahaganapati, Sri Adi Shankara, Lord Chandramoulishwara, Goddess Bhavani, Sri Subrahmanya, Sri Rama, Sri Krishna, Sri Anjaneya, Shiva Panchayatana and the Navagrahas then took place. A large number of devotees assembled for the Kumbhabhisheka witnessed the live stream of the Anugraha Sandeshas and the Kumbhabhisheka and felt immensely blessed.

 
  • 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

  • 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
