Sri Sri Jagadguru Shankaracharya Mahasamsthanam, Dakshinamanaya 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.

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
