Sringeri September 20, 2021

Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam and Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam completed their Chaturmasya Vrata and undertook Seemollanghanam (lit. crossing of border) early in the evening of Bhadrapada Purnima at around 4:45 PM. Crossing over from Narasimha Vanam to the northern banks of the Tungabhadra, the Jagadgurus had Darshan at the temple of Goddess Sharadamba and other temples in the Math premises. The Jagadgurus also had Darshan at the hillock temple of Lord Malahanikareshwara.

Earlier, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam performed Sri Uma Maheshwara Vrata. Special puja was offered to Lord Sri Uma Maheshwara to the sonorous chanting of Vedic Mantras by the Pandits of the Sri Math and students of the Sadvidya Sanjeevini Samskrita Maha Pathashala. The Puja culminated with the Maha-Mangalaratrika. Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam was present throughout the puja.

 
  • 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
