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.

 
  • 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
