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.

To that which is born, death is indeed certain; and to that which is dead, birth is certain. Therefore, knowing this, you ought not to grieve over (this) inevitable. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
Daylight and darkness, dusk and dawn, winter and springtime come and go. Time plays and life ebbs away. But the current of desire never leaves. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Mohamudgara
Once you begin to feel the presence of God, a joy unknown to you ever before will begin to be felt. The thought of his ever- living presence with you will be a great solace to you. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
Tendencies develop, regardless of the characteristic of the action performed. Hence, he who wishes to lead a proper life will do well to avoid evil deeds and to repeatedly perform virtuous deeds. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
To err is human. Accepting one’s error and correcting oneself is a mark of nobility. Humility is the primary path to achieving nobility. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
