Sri Sannidhanam at Sri Rama Devasthana in Vidyaranyapura
On February 24, Sri Sannidhanam graced the Vidyaranyapura Agrahara in Sringeri and performed Puja at the Sri Rama temple and offered a Silver Prabhavali. In His Anugraha Bhashanam blessing the devotees, Sri Sannidhanam said,
A beautiful prabhavali has been offered to Sri Rama on this day, puja has been offered at his sanctum and at His Lotus Feet prayers have been offered for the welfare of all people of this village. That Sri Rama will listen to and fructify this prayer is not a matter for doubt, because such is the nature of Sri Rama. Even when Vibheeshana, the brother of the sworn enemy Ravana, approached Sri Rama, he was offered refuge. Even as everyone else in Sri Rama’s camp suspected Vibheeshana’s real intention, Sri Rama declared that he would protect all who approached him for protection, no matter who the person was. “Why Vibheeshana, even if Ravana himself approached me, I would still offer him refuge!
Through his life, Sri Rama shows us that everyone must follow their ordained duties and never compromise on it.
Sri Sannidhanam ended the Anugraha Bhashanam stating that His Parapara Guru (33rd Acharya of Sringeri) had consecrated and performed the Kumbhabhisheka of this temple. Since then all Jagadgurus have been coming and gracing this temple.
