Jagadguru’s Pattabhishekha Day


 

Pattabhisheka day (marking the day of the ascendance to the Sharada Peetham) of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji fell on October 19th. The Jagadguru had ascended the Peetham as the 36th Acharya on the same day 19 years ago. On this auspicious day, a Sahasra Narikela Homa was performed in the Jagadguru Sri Nrisimha Bharati Yagashalam, housed in the heritage structure opposite the Goddess Sharada temple. Poornahuti took place in the Jagadguru’s Divine Presence. Despite the day being sunny, a short shower occurred for the entire duration of the Poornahuti indicative of Divine Blessings. In the evening, a public function was held in the Jagadguru’s presence. The Jagadguru blessed all the staff of the Peetham and the assembled devotees.

 
  • 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

  • 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
