October 26, 2019

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/.

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
