Description :

Volume 4 of the Anugraha Bhashanam Video series covers the discourses given by the Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji during his Vijaya Yatra in 2007.  The following two discourses are covered in this volume.

The goal of Human Birth – Hindi with English subtitles

During the Jagadguru’s Chatgurmasya camp at Mumbai in 2007, the Jagadguru gave a series of soul stirring discourses.  This discourse emphasizes that the only goal of human birth is moksha (liberation).  While tracing a human’s life, the Jagadguru points out how one always experiences more sufferings than happiness.  The Jagadguru narrates incidences from the lives of Sri Adi Shankara and the 32nd Jagadguru of the Sringeri Peetham and teaches us about the Sadhanas we should perform to follow the path to obtaining Self-realisation.  The Jagadguru urges us to follow the right path now so that we can be assured of liberation.

The importance of human birth – Kannada with English subtitles

In the discourse given in Bellary – Kanartaka in June 20074, the Jagadguru asks us not to get enamoured by worldly objects and lose focus on the importance of our human birth, which we have obtained after performing countless good deeds in prior lives.  The Jagadguru explains through the teachings of the Gita how adherence to Dharma and the practice of the required Sadhanas will help fulfil the purpose of our lives.

Sample

 
  • 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
