Sringeri June 5, 2020

Following is the Anugraha Sandesha in Kannada delivered by Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam on the occasion of completion of over one crore japa of Durga Parameshwari Stotram by devotees around the world.

At the onset of the global pandemic termed “Covid-19”, the Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, under Divine inspiration, directed one and all Sanatana Dharma Anuyâyîs to recite the Durga Parameshwari Stotram, seeking succour at the feet of the Divine Mother, and as a prayer to the Divine Mother to rid the world of the pandemic. Obeying the words of the Guru, many devotees religiously practiced the ritual parayana of this divine stotra and within a few weeks, collectively completed over a crore japa of the stotra.
