October 26, 2019

On the holy occasion of the 102nd Jayanti of the 35th Acharya of the Peetham, Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamiji, Sri Vidyatheertha Foundation is pleased to offer the e-book, ‘Divine Discourses’ for free download.

The e-book, ‘Divine Discourses’, contains the English translations of 11 benedictory discourses of the Jagadguru delivered extempore in the period 1986-1989. Nine of these sacred discourses were in Kannada and two in Tamil. A special feature of this book is the inclusion of the six holy speeches delivered by His Holiness that provide the most authoritative account of His Guru’s (Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji) life and achievements.

They also give a thorough account of the nature and role of a Sadguru, a knower of the Truth; all that a spiritual aspirant needs to know about a Sadguru is contained in the book. Download the book at svfonline.net/divinediscourses/.

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
