Jagadguru Mahaswamiji worshipping Lord Lakshmi Narasimha on the occasion of Narasimha Jayanti

On May 13th 2014, the Narasimha Jayanti was celebrated with Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji offering special Puja to Lord Lakshmi Narasimha at Gurunivas at noon. Vedic Chants comprising Purusha Sukta, Narayana Sukta and Vishnu Sukta of Rig Veda filled the air as the Jagadguru performed Abhisheka to Lord Narasimha, the Avatara signifying the omnipresence of the Lord. At the end of the Puja, the Jagadguru also did Parayana of Srimad Bhagavatam that depicts the Avatara of Lord Narasimha. In the evening, the Jagadguru went to the Lakshminarasimha Swami temple at Narasimhapura and had Darshan when the evening Arati was performed.

 
  • Just as in this body, the embodied one passes through boyhood, youth, and old age, so does one pass into another body. With reference to this (birth, aging and death), the wise man is not disturbed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • An object continues to be dear as long as one derives pleasure from it and it is detested for the duration that it causes pain. The same object cannot be always liked or disliked. Sometimes, that which is not dear may become dear. Moreover, that which was loveable can turn unpleasant. The Atma, towards which affection never wanes, is always the most beloved. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Shatashloki
  • Blessings are the monopoly of God and we must all pray for his gracious blessings. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is pitiful that when many of us are asked, “who are you?”, The first thought that arises is “I am a Keralite”, or “I am a Punjabi”, etc. The thought that should immediately stem is “I am an Indian”. If people first feel that they are Indians and only then think of divisions, the nation will have great prosperity and the divisive forces will not be operative as they are today. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Instead of using the tongue for speaking futile issues, use it to chant the names of God. God shall then guide you along the right and beneficial path. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
