A grand garland comprising of 108 gold coins was offered to Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji on this occasion by the Ubhaya Jagadgurus during the Aradhana Mahotsava.

The garland is a special offering to the Acharya on account of the year long celebrations of the 50th year of Sanyasa Sweekara of the present Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam.

This Suvarna-Mala (Garland of Gold) was presented to the Jagadguru after he completed the Chandramoulishwara Puja at night, earlier on October 1, 2024 by Sri PA Murali, CEO & Administrator of the Sringeri Math on behalf of the thousands of devotees who had sent their contributions for the same from far and wide.

Sri Mahasannidhanam also offered worship at His Guru’s Adhishthanam after the daily Chandramoulishwara Puja. The night Puja at the Adhishthanam included Rudra Krama Archana followed by Ashtaavadhaana Seva and the chanting of Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Navaratnamalika.

 
  • 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
