The glory of Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya

Palamadai April 30, 2012

Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji arrived in Palamadai, the village of Sri Neelakantha Deekshitar. Soon afterwards, the Jagadguru gave His Anugraha Bhashanam seated in front of the Samadhi shrine of Sri Neelakantha Deekshitar.

The Jagadguru spoke about the greatness of Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya and quoted the first verse from Sri Adi Shankaracharya’s Dhanyashtakam explaining that, that alone is knowledge the obtainment of which results in subduing of the senses, that alone is to be known which is explained in the Upanishads and those people indeed are blessed who are clear about the ultimate objective of life.

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
