Brahmasri Tangirala Venkateshwara Avadhani Smaraka Pathashala


Brahmasri Tangirala Venkateshwara Avadhani was the revered father in the Poorvashrama of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam. He was born on the Phalguna Krishna Dashami day in the Raudra Samvatsara (1921) and became a scholar of the Krishna Yajur Veda. Having led a pious life of austerity and devotion to Bhagavan and the Sringeri Jagadguru, he shed his mortal coil in 2006. 

Since 2009, his family members led by his son, Brahmasri Tangirala Dakshinamurthy, have been conducting an annual Veda Sabha on his Janma Tithi in the Sringeri Shankara Math in Narasaraopet. In commemoration of his birth centenary in 2021, the house that Brahmasri Avadhani lived in was donated to Sringeri Math by Brahmasri Tangirala Dakshinamurthy. It is in this house that Sri Mahasannidhanam spent most of His Poorvashrama years. 

In 2022, coinciding with the 101st birth anniversary (Phalguna Krishna Dashami – March 27) of Brahmasri Venkateshwara Avadhani, a Pathashala with the name “Brahmasri Tangirala Venkateshwara Avadhani Smaraka Pathashala” has been started in his sacred memory with the blessings of the Sringeri Jagadgurus at the same spot in Narasaraopet.

 
  • 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
