Jagadguru Sri Sannidhanam offering Puja to Goddess Kalikamba

Sringeri December 11, 2019

Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Sannidhanam offered special puja to Goddess Sri Kalikamba at noon on December 11, 2019. The puja was attended by many devotees from various parts of the country and townspeople as well. After completion of Puja, the Jagadguru blessed the Seva Kartas with Kumkuma Prasadam.

Goddess Kalikamba is the guardian deity of Sringeri in the northern direction of Sringeri installed by Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya.

The following day, on December 12, 2019, the Jagadguru graced the Purnahuti ceremony of the ongoing Shatanchandi Yaga that was being performed at the temple on the occasion. The devotees led by elderly scholar and chief organiser of the Yaga, Vidwan Sri Vinayaka Udupa, (who is also a former Principal of Sri Sadvidya Sanjeevini Samskrita Mahapathashala) were then blessed by the Jagadgurus.

  • 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
