Vinayaka Chaturthi was observed with great festivity at Sringeri on September 2, 2019. Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam offered special Puja to Lord Mahaganapati at Guru Nivas at around 12 noon. After initially worshipping Lord Ratnagarbha Ganapati, Sri Mahasannidhanam performed Panchamrita Abhisheka to the Vigraha of Lord Mahaganapati. Chants of Ganapati Atharvasheersha and the Ganapati Suktam from the Rig Veda rented the air. The Puja ended with Sri Mahasannidhanam offering Mahamangalarati. Immediately afterwards, Jagadguru Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam performed a special Puja.

  • 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
