Under the direction of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, the Peetham has launched a programme called the Shaankara Tattva Prasaara Abhiyaanam on 30th November 2009. The programme focuses on developing Upanyasakas to spread Advaita Vedanta with emphasis on Sri Adishankara Bhagavatpada’s works. The programme shall produce Upanyasakas who shall be trained in a 3 stage process. The first stage of the programme commenced in Sringeri on Gita Jayanti, 28th November with the Blessings of the Jagadguru. Held for 3 days, the first stage provides to the participants an overview of Advaita Vedanta & the life and works of Sri Adi Shankaracharya. The Jagadguru blessed the gathering on 30th November and gave an Anugraha Bhashanam on how to give Upanyasas. CEO and Administrator, Sri V R Gowrishankar explained that the program is set to spread first across Karnataka and then to the other states. Program coordinator, Prof. Shikaripura Krishnamurti said that the first stage of the programme is set to be held in various places across Karnataka over the next few months.

  • The Self (Atma) is never born nor does It ever die; neither does It cease to exist after having once existed nor does the Self come into existence, like the body, having not existed before. Unborn, eternal, It undergoes no change whatsoever and is primeval; It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • A person who hears about the condemnation of another incurs sin. What need be said about the sin incurred by a man who actually engages in nit picking? Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Prabodha Sudhakara
  • If you pray with faith and devotion, the Lord will certainly listen to your earnest prayers. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Our nation and its culture have a hoary past and we should all be proud of it. Mere aping of the West is not beneficial for us. For example, care of aged parents is something that has come down to us traditionally and we must never neglect this duty by imbibing concepts of some free societies, wherein concern for one’s own parents is at low ebb. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is a great blunder not to make proper use of the body and mind that has been given to us by God. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
