October 19, 2024

The news of the passing of Pandit Vasant Anant Gadgil has left the world of Samskrita lovers in grief. He strove his entire life for the propagation of Samskrita and acquired immense fame. He had extraordinary reverence for the Sringeri Sharada Peetham and rendered great service as the representative of the Peetham in Maharashtra. He authored many texts in Sanskrit and published a Samskrita monthly named “Sharada” for more than 60 years. He fulfilled to his final breath the vow he had taken in his childhood that the sole purpose of his life would be the propagation of Samskrita.

Dakshinamnaya Sringeri Sri Sharada Peethadheeshwara Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam has offered prayers that Bhagavati Sharada bless the departed scholar with Parama Shanti.

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
