Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri

The power of mere glance of Mahatmas

 

Karur city June 6, 2012

Following is the Anugraha Bhashanam of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji delivered upon arrival at Karur during the 2012-13 Vijaya Yatra.

Karur is close to Nerur, the Samadhi place of the saint, Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra, who is held in the highest esteem by the Jagadgurus of Sringeri. The Jagadguru mentioned that the association with Sringeri Jagadgurus began when the 33rd Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Sringeri, Sri Sri Sri Sacchidananda Shivabhinava Narasimha Bharati Mahaswamiji came to Nerur, had Darshan of the Adhishtanam of Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra and composed hymns on Sri Brahmendra and gave a Anugraha Bhashanam.

  • An ideal disciple will indeed act as per the Guru’s instructions and not give place to thoughts as “Is it possible for me to do as he says? Shall I try something else?” If we follow our Guru’s instructions, it does not mean that we are unintelligent. It only implies that we have surrendered for our own good to a power superior to us. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • If we poke our nose into matters that do not concern us, it is we who lose our precious time. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
