Anugraha Bhashanam at Shankara Gurukulam

Chennai City October 5, 2012

During the 2012 Vijaya Yatra at Chennai, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji graced Shankara Gurukulam at Abhiramapuram.

The Gurukulam was started by late Sri Thethiyur Subrahmanya Shastrigal and for many decades, this has been a centre where scholars have expounded the many commentaries of Sri Adi Shankaracharya to spiritual aspirants.

The Jagadguru gave a stirring Anugraha Bhashanam at the Gurukulam encouraging aspirants to constantly remember Sri Shankaracharya’s teachings, engage in intense Sadhana and imbibe the Acharya’s teachings with great resolve.

To that which is born, death is indeed certain; and to that which is dead, birth is certain. Therefore, knowing this, you ought not to grieve over (this) inevitable. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
Daylight and darkness, dusk and dawn, winter and springtime come and go. Time plays and life ebbs away. But the current of desire never leaves. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Mohamudgara
Once you begin to feel the presence of God, a joy unknown to you ever before will begin to be felt. The thought of his ever- living presence with you will be a great solace to you. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
Tendencies develop, regardless of the characteristic of the action performed. Hence, he who wishes to lead a proper life will do well to avoid evil deeds and to repeatedly perform virtuous deeds. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
