Vamana Jayanti


 

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.

  • An ideal disciple will indeed act as per the Guru’s instructions and not give place to thoughts as “Is it possible for me to do as he says? Shall I try something else?” If we follow our Guru’s instructions, it does not mean that we are unintelligent. It only implies that we have surrendered for our own good to a power superior to us. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • If we poke our nose into matters that do not concern us, it is we who lose our precious time. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
