In His Anugraha Bhashanam, Sri Sannidhanam said that Bhagavan is called “Dayanidhi” – दयानिधि dayānidhi – the reservoir of compassion. We must visit a temple and perform Puja with focus on having Darshan of Bhagavan for our welfare, and not for impressing others. Our devotion must pervade our thoughts, words and deeds. This is termed as Bhakti with Trikarana Shuddhi- devotion with purity of three karanas or instruments of action – namely thought, word and deed.

Quoting the example of Arjuna taking refuge in Bhagavan Krishna, Sri Sannidhanam pointed out that we too must take refuge in Bhagavan to secure our welfare.

Sri Sannidhanam also said that His coming to this village is a matter of joy because the village has provided the Math with an invaluable disciple, Sri SN Krishnamurti. It was in this village that Sri Krishnamurti was born and it was in the Lakshmi Venkataramana Swamy temple that his father, Sri Narasimha Bhat had worshipped for 35 years. In accordance to the wishes of the father that the family must continue to serve Sri Venkataramana Swamy, Sri Krishnamurti, his family members led by his elder brother, Sri Sheshagiri along with the villagers had contributed to the renovation of the temple and the construction of the Sabhaangana.

Sringeri Math CEO Sri VR Gowrishankar then felicitated Sri S N Krishnamurti, personal assistant to Jagadguru Sri Mahasannidhanam on the occasion.

 
  • Just as in this body, the embodied one passes through boyhood, youth, and old age, so does one pass into another body. With reference to this (birth, aging and death), the wise man is not disturbed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • An object continues to be dear as long as one derives pleasure from it and it is detested for the duration that it causes pain. The same object cannot be always liked or disliked. Sometimes, that which is not dear may become dear. Moreover, that which was loveable can turn unpleasant. The Atma, towards which affection never wanes, is always the most beloved. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Shatashloki
  • Blessings are the monopoly of God and we must all pray for his gracious blessings. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is pitiful that when many of us are asked, “who are you?”, The first thought that arises is “I am a Keralite”, or “I am a Punjabi”, etc. The thought that should immediately stem is “I am an Indian”. If people first feel that they are Indians and only then think of divisions, the nation will have great prosperity and the divisive forces will not be operative as they are today. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Instead of using the tongue for speaking futile issues, use it to chant the names of God. God shall then guide you along the right and beneficial path. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
