As part of the Celebrations, the Jagadguru first had Darshan of all temples in the morning. Sahasra Naarikela Homa was performed in the Jagadguru Sri Narasimha Bharati Yaga Shala, opposite to the Goddess Sharada temple. CEO & Administrator Sri V R Gowrishankar undertook the Sankalpa for the Homa. Special Abhisheka was performed to the Utsava Moorti of Goddess Sharada and Mahamangalarati took place in the Jagadguru’s presence. At around 12:30 pm, the Poornahuti of the Sahasra Naarikela Homa took place in the divine presence of the Jagadguru.

Silver Dindi utsava : Marking the Silver Jubilee year of the Peetharohanam of the Jagadguru the silver Ratha of Sharadamba which is used for the Dindi Utsava everyday of the week (except Friday when the Golden Ratha is used) was refurbished with additional silver and offered. In the afternoon, special Anna Santarpanam was performed by the Peetham for all the volunteers who served in the Bhojana Shala during the Navaratri function. In the evening, a function was held in the Jagadguru’s presence to address the Sevakas of the Peetham. Addressing the gathering, the CEO and Administrator of the Peetham Gurusevadhurina Dr. V R Gowrishankar mentioned
that a grand function befitting the Silver Jubilee Year of the Peetharohanam of the Jagadguru must have been held on the occasion. However, due to a series of events in the year including the grand Rajagopuram Kumbhabhisheka, the function could not be held immediately. On behalf of all devotees, Sri Gowrishankar prayed at the Lotus Feet of the Jagadguru for the Anugraha to celebrate the occasion in Janauary 2015. The Jagadguru blessed all the Sevakas of the Peetham and the assembled devotees.

 
  • 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
