A very important Announcement regarding Vardhanti Mahotsava

April 10, 2021

In continuation to our several letters, invitation, news items etc. regarding “Divya Sapthathi Poorthi” Vardhanthi Celebrations of His Holiness Jagadguru Shankaracharya Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peethadheeshwara Sri Sri Bharathi Tirtha Mahasannidhanam, I am making this very important announcement.
 
Because of the prevailing covid pandemic and various regulations put in by the Government and the standard operating procedures that are to be strictly followed, it has been decided that all the celebrations will be done but in a strictly restricted domain. Only invited Ritwiks will be allowed and they have to be within a bio-bubble space created at Kaggehindallu vicinity and perform their duties.
 
General Public and devotees will neither have access to these places nor will any permission be given for anyone to visit or interact.

Even the cultural events will be in a restricted place.
 
For the benefit of all, all the events including cultural events will be telecast live on Sri Shankara TV channel and devotees are requested to watch the same from their place of residence and obtain the satisfaction of virtual participation.
 
There will be NO special darshan on Vardhanti Day. All devotees are requested to kindly take note, cooperate with us and help us conduct the functions without any issues.
 
Prasadams to all seva-kartas will be sent through post/ courier.

  • Weapons do not cut This (Atma); nor does fire does burn It. Water does not wet (nor drown) nor does wind dry It. This (Atma) cannot be slain, nor burnt, nor wetted, nor dried up. It is changeless, all-pervading, stable, immovable and eternal. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • Do not be proud of wealth, people (relations and friends), and youth. All these are snatched by Time in the blink of an eye. Giving up this illusory world, know and attain the Supreme. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Mohamudgara
  • Today God is altogether ignored and this is the cause of all our suffering and misery. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • By God’s grace, we have obtained a human birth, the power of discrimination and someone to teach us about the ultimate, truth. If we still remain lazy, we will be wasting a marvelous opportunity. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • No man is omniscient. Hence man should not have the ego that he knows all. It is ego that leads man astray and drives him to commit sins. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
