On the holy occasion of the 102nd Jayanti of the 35th Acharya of the Peetham, Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamiji, Sri Vidyatheertha Foundation is pleased to offer the e-book, ‘Divine Discourses’ for free download.

The e-book, ‘Divine Discourses’, contains the English translations of 11 benedictory discourses of the Jagadguru delivered extempore in the period 1986-1989. Nine of these sacred discourses were in Kannada and two in Tamil. A special feature of this book is the inclusion of the six holy speeches delivered by His Holiness that provide the most authoritative account of His Guru’s (Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji) life and achievements.

They also give a thorough account of the nature and role of a Sadguru, a knower of the Truth; all that a spiritual aspirant needs to know about a Sadguru is contained in the book. Download the book at svfonline.net/divinediscourses/.

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
