Brahmasri Tangirala Venkateshwara Avadhani Smaraka Pathashala

Narasaraopet March 27, 2022

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.

 
  • 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
