The Jayanti of the 35th Acharya, Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamiji was observed on October 31, 2024.

Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji offered homage to His Guru at the Adhisthanam shrine in Narasimha Vanam at noon during the Mangala Aarati of the Shatarudra Abhisheka conducted by the Pandits and Vidyarthis of Sri Sadvidya Sanjeevini Samskrita Mahapatashala.

In the morning, the Vidyarthis and Pandits of the Pathashala assembled at the Adhistana Mandapam for a Sabha. The Sabha began with Veda Parayana and Guruvandanam – salutations to the Jagadgurus of Sringeri. This was followed by a couple of Vidyarthis recounting the divine life of the Jagadgurus. The Sabhas were presided over by the Pandits of Pathashala. The scholars narrated incidents from the lives of the Jagadgurus in Sanskrit and Kannada.

  • An ideal disciple will indeed act as per the Guru’s instructions and not give place to thoughts as “Is it possible for me to do as he says? Shall I try something else?” If we follow our Guru’s instructions, it does not mean that we are unintelligent. It only implies that we have surrendered for our own good to a power superior to us. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • If we poke our nose into matters that do not concern us, it is we who lose our precious time. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
