Sringeri September 17, 2021

On the occasion of Bhadrapada Shuddha Ekadashi, special pujas were performed to the Lord in His incarnation as Sri Vamana.

After the Sri Chandramouleeshwara and Sri Chakra Puja performed by Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji at night, Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji performed special Puja to lord Vamana.

The whole of Narasimhavanam resonated with the sound of sacred Vedic Mantras chanted by the Pandits of the Math. The Jagadguru offered Phala-panchamruta abhisheka, Nama-Archana and other upacharas prescribed in the Kalpa.

Late in the night, the Puja concluded with the Maha-Mangalaratrika followed by Parayana of the chapter(s) in the Srimad Bhagavata Maha Puranam extolling the Avatara of the Lord as Sri Vamana.

The following day, on September 18 2021, the Jagadguru performed Uttara Puja in the morning.

Weapons do not cut This (Atma); nor does fire does burn It. Water does not wet (nor drown) nor does wind dry It. This (Atma) cannot be slain, nor burnt, nor wetted, nor dried up. It is changeless, all-pervading, stable, immovable and eternal. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
Do not be proud of wealth, people (relations and friends), and youth. All these are snatched by Time in the blink of an eye. Giving up this illusory world, know and attain the Supreme. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Mohamudgara
Today God is altogether ignored and this is the cause of all our suffering and misery. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
By God’s grace, we have obtained a human birth, the power of discrimination and someone to teach us about the ultimate, truth. If we still remain lazy, we will be wasting a marvelous opportunity. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
No man is omniscient. Hence man should not have the ego that he knows all. It is ego that leads man astray and drives him to commit sins. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
