Jagadguru Mahaswamiji performing Kumbhabhisheka to Anjaneya Swami at Begar

On the morning of 12th May 2014, the Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji arrived at Begar for performing Kumbhabhisheka of Lord Ganapati and Sri Anjaneya Swami. The Jagadguru Mahaswamiji performed elaborate Puja, Brahma Kalashabhisheka and PunaH Pratishtha at these Sannidhis. In the Guruvandanam function organised immediately after the Kumbhabhisheka, the Jagadguru blessed the assembled devotees with an Anugraha Bhashanam. The Jagadguru mentioned that we worship Lord Ganapati for the removal of all the obstacles and worship Anjaneya to attain a good intellect, physical strength, fame, courageousness, fearlessness, good health, industriousness and eloquence. The Jagadguru added that when we face difficulties in life, we go to a temple and pray to God and take refuge in Him. God’s grace can be vouched through His service, chanting His holy name and remembering Him. The Jagadguru concluded His Bhashanam with the message that if we maintain the temple well, the surrounding villages will flourish well. The Jagadguru then blessed one and all for renovating the temple and conducting the Kumbhabhisheka.

 
  • 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
