Jagadguru graces Alaligudda in Nemmar


 


Jagadguru Mahaswamiji Performing Kalashabhabhisheka of Vinayaka Devasthana at ALaligudda in Nemmar

On 19th May 2014 morning, the Jagadguru arrived at Sri Lakshmi Vinayaka Temple at Alaligudda. The Jagadguru performed elaborate Puja, Kalashabhisheka and PunaH Pratishtha of Lord Lakshmi Vinayaka. The devotees of that place performed Padapuja and in the Guruvandanam Sabha held after the Kumbhabhisheka, the president and members of the committee submitted an Abhinandana Patra. Then the Jagadguru blessed the assembled devotees with an Anugraha Bhashanam. In that, the Jagadguru mentioned that Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpadacharya has blessed mankind with numerous Devata Stotras. In the first one on Lord Ganapati, Sri Shankara Bhagavatpadacharya uses an adjective “समस्तलोकशङ्करम्” to Lord Ganapati. That means one who bestows auspiciousness on all. One need not have even a pinch of doubt in the writings of Jagadguru Sri Shankara Bhagavatpadacharya. So let all worship the Lord Ganapati with steadfast devotion and faith to attain Shreyas.

 
  • The Self (Atma) is never born nor does It ever die; neither does It cease to exist after having once existed nor does the Self come into existence, like the body, having not existed before. Unborn, eternal, It undergoes no change whatsoever and is primeval; It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • A person who hears about the condemnation of another incurs sin. What need be said about the sin incurred by a man who actually engages in nit picking? Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Prabodha Sudhakara
  • If you pray with faith and devotion, the Lord will certainly listen to your earnest prayers. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Our nation and its culture have a hoary past and we should all be proud of it. Mere aping of the West is not beneficial for us. For example, care of aged parents is something that has come down to us traditionally and we must never neglect this duty by imbibing concepts of some free societies, wherein concern for one’s own parents is at low ebb. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is a great blunder not to make proper use of the body and mind that has been given to us by God. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
