Kumbhabhisheka of Sri Bindu Madhava temple

 

December 19, 2022

With the blessings of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam, Jagadguru Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam performed the Jeernoddhara Kumbhabhisheka of Sri Bindu Madhava shrine on December 19, 2022 (Margashira Krishna Ekadashi of the Shubhakrit Samvatsara). The shrine located adjacent and to the north east of Sri Malahanikareshwara temple. 

The Puranas state that Maharshi Agni Bindu prayed to Bhagavan Sri Vishnu to reside in Varanasi, the sacred abode of Lord Vishwanatha. Acceding to the prayers of the Maharshi, Bhagavan resides in Varanasi as Bindu Madhava. The Bindu Madhava temple is located near the Panchaganga Ghat in Varanasi. 

The Bindu Madhava temple in Sringeri was consecrated centuries ago near the Malahanikareshwara temple. The beautiful Vigraha of Bhagavan Bindu Madhava is flanked by Sri Sridevi and Sri Bhudevi and also has Sri Garuda, Sri Anjaneya and Maharshi Agni Bindu.

  • 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
