On November 19, Kartika Poornima, Laksha Bilvarchana was performed to Lord Malahanikareshwara at Pradosha Kaala. Mahamangalarati was performed at 8:30 pm in the divine presence of Jagadguru Sri Sannidhanam. Then Krittikotsava and Jwala Torana were performed. Laksha Deepotsava was also held with Sri Sannidhanam commencing the event by lighting the ceremonial lamp in front of the Malahanikareshwara temple.

The Utsava Murtis of Goddess Bhavani and Malahanikareshwara were carried in a procession led by Sri Sannidhanam. Golden Rathotsava of Goddess Sharadamba took place inside the Sharadamba temple. After Ashtavadhana seva & Mahamangalarati, the Utsava Murti of Goddess Sharadamba along with those of Sri Bhavani, Sri Malahanikareshwara, Sri Adi Shankaracharya and Sri Vidyashankara were placed in the boat. Jagadguru Sri Sannidhanam also crossed the river in the same boat and arrived at the southern bank. Mahamangalarati was then performed and Teppotsava of all the Utsava Murtis along with Tungabhadra Arati took place in the divine presence of Sri Sannidhanam.

In the subsequent days, Sri Sannidhanam graced the deepotsavas that took place in the temples of Goddess Durgamba, Goddess Kalikamba, Sri Anjaneya Swamy and Sri Harihareshwara.

 
  • 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
