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.

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
To err is human. Accepting one’s error and correcting oneself is a mark of nobility. Humility is the primary path to achieving nobility. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
