On the occasion of commencement of the Tungabhadra Pushkara, the Ubhaya Jagadgurus graced the temple of Sri Vidyashankara and performed Dipaprajvalana or lighting of the lamp, marking the auspicious beginning of the 12 day long celebration.

The idol of Sri Varahamurti, which graces the Northwestern facade of the temple was decorated for the event.

Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam then proceeded to the Northern bank of the Tungabhadra river and performed Ganga Puja.

Silver Kalashas (pots) filled with the sanctified waters of the Tungabhadra, which were worshipped by the Jagadguru during the Ganga Puja, were then carried to the shrines of Sri Sharadamba, Sri Adi Shankaracharya, Sri Vidyashankara and Sri Bhavani Malahanikareshwara to the accompaniment of Nadaswara-Vadya. Abhisheka with the sanctified waters was then performed to the murtis in the respective temples.

  • 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

  • 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
