Sri Sri Jagadguru Shankaracharya Mahasamsthanam, Dakshinamanaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri

The significance of the word “Rameshwara” and the greatness of Rameshwara-Kshetram

Rameswaram May 17, 2012

In His Anugraha Bhashanam upon arrival at Rameswaram, the Jagadguru spoke about the significance of the word “Rameshwara” and the greatness of the Kshetram.

Sringeri and Rameswaram have a centuries-old relationship as Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya assigned the Kshetram of the Dakshinamnaya Sringeri Sharada Peetham as Rameswaram. The Sringeri Jagadgurus consequently have the special privilege to personally offer worship at Rameswaram. Archakas at Rameswaram can worship Sri Ramanathaswamy only after having Deeksha from the Sringeri Jagadguru.

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
