All the Sevakas of Sringeri Sharada Peetham who were involved in the preparation and conduct of the Uttaradhikari Shishya Sweekara function assembled at Gurunivas in Narasimhavanam on the morning of January 30, 2015 to have Darshan of Mahasannidhanam, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji and Sannidhanam, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri ​Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji and offered Samashti Bhikshavandanam. They prostrated to Sri Mahasannidhanam and Sri Sannidhanam by chanting the following Birudavali and Shlokas. Talking on the occasion, CEO and Administrator Sri V R Gowrishankar expressed his gratitude to all Sevakas for their service during the event. All of them then received the Prasada and felt blessed with the life-time opportunity to serve the Jagadguru during this historic occasion.

While Ganga is the Tirtha (place of pilgrimage) for the ignorant and knowledge is the Tirtha for the wise, I take refuge in Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha, who is the bliss-giving Tirtha for all.

विद्याविनयसम्पन्नं वीतरागं विवेकिनम् ।
वन्दे वेदान्ततत्त्वज्ञं विधुशेखरभारतीम् ॥

I offer my prostrations to Jagadguru Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati, who is endowed with knowledge and humility, who is free of desires, who is endowed with discrimination (of the real and unreal), and who is a knower of the Vedanta Tattva.

 
  • 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
