October 28, 2016

The 62nd Aradhana of the renowned Jivanmukta and the 34th Acharya of the Peetham, Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji, was reverentially observed on the Mahalaya Amavasya day which fell on the September 30, 2016 in this Durmukha Samvatsara.

Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam offered special Aradhana Puja at the Adhishthanam of His Paramaguru. Sri Sannidhanam, Jagadguru Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji, was also present to offer homage to His Parameshthi Guru. Sri Mahasannidhanam also offered worship at His Guru’s Adhishthanam after the daily Chandramoulishwara Puja. The night Puja at the Adhishthanam included Rudra Krama Archana followed by Ashtaavadhaana Seva.

Devotees across the globe remembered the revered Acharya who had led a life of intense Tapas culminating in Jivanmukti, and who has blessed us all with an invaluable commentary on Sri Adi Shankaracharya’s famous Prakarana Grantha, Vivekachoodamani.

 
  • 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
