On 22nd May 2015, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam performed the Punah Pratishtha Kumbhabhisheka at Sri Rajagopalaswamy temple in Sringeri. The four-century old temple of the Peetham is located near the base of the Malahanikareshwara temple.

In His Anugraha Bhashanam, Sri Mahasannidhanam extolled the Lord in His Avatara as Sri Krishna. Sri Krishna Paramatma not only protected the good and annihilated the evil but also blessed all mankind forever by imparting the Bhagavad Gita. Truly, it is Lord Sri Krishna who has been first addressed as “Jagadguru”, stated Sri Mahasannidhanam. It is our bounden duty to revere and worship the Lord as Sri Krishna. Accordingly, we find thousands of temples dedicated to Lord Sri Krishna. It is most fitting that the temple of Sri Rajagopalaswamy has bedecked Sringeri for the past 400 years. Sri Mahasannidhanam expressed happiness at having conducted the Jeernodharana Kumbhabhishekha of the temple, which is administered by the Peetham.

 
  • 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
