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.

Puja to a large Vigraha of Lord Vinayaka was performed in the Pravachana Mandiram and to Sabha Ganapati at Sri Sacchidananda Vilas, where the Mahaganapati Vakyartha Vidwat Sabha takes place.

In the afternoon, at 4:30 PM, the annual Mahaganapati Vakyartha Vidwat Sabha for the ensuing Vikari Samvatsara commenced in the divine presence of the Jagadgurus and under the august presidentship of Sri Mahasannidhanam. The Shastra deliberations commenced with a Vakyartha in Nyaya Shastra by Sri Sannidhanam

 
  • 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
