The birth anniversary of Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada, the rejuvenator of Sanatana Dharma, was reverentially observed at Sringeri from May 12, 2021, to May 17, 2021.

Mahanyasa Poorvaka Shata Rudra Abhisheka was performed to the Vigraha of Bhagavatpada in Sri Adi Shankaracharya Temple. Parayana of the four Vedas, the Prasthanatraya Bhashya and Madhaviya Shankara Digvijaya (the biography of Sri Shankara’s life) were performed daily.

Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam and Jagadguru Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam had Darshan every day at the temple. Ashtottara Archana & Mahamangalarati took place in the divine presence of Sri Sannidhanam.

Madhaviya Shankara Digvijaya Parayana took place in the evenings in the divine presence of Sri Sannidhanam. Sri Sannidhanam also conducted a Shastra Sabha on the occasion with scholars in Sringeri participating.  

On May 17, 2021, Shankara Jayanti day, Sri Sannidhanam performed an elaborate Puja to Sri Adi Shankaracharya from around noon. Sri Sannidhanam ended the Puja with Mahamangalarati and Kanaka Abhisheka to the Vigraha of Sri Adi Shankaracharya. 

On May 18, Rathotsava of Sri Adishankara Bhagavatpada took place inside the Sri Math complex in the divine presence of the Jagadgurus.

 
  • 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
