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.

 
  • 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
