The Mahaswamiji arrived at the Keraliya Samajam Ayurveda College, Shoranur on 10th May 2010 and was accorded a red carpet welcome. Local MLA Sri C.P Mohammed, Chairperson of Nagara Sabha Smt. C.K. Jayalaksmi, and Samajam Secretary Sri M. Muralidharan and Dr. V R Gowrishankar welcomed the Mahaswamiji to address the staff and students of the Samajam.

In His Anugraha Bhashnanam, the Mahaswamiji reminded the person that helping the needy is the greatest service and Adi Shankaracharya has emphasized on this aspect. The Mahaswamiji also said that the Divine Power is same everywhere though the system and methodology of worship may vary in temples according to the place and traditions. The Mahaswamiji stressed that association with noble souls is paramount to bring about peace and happiness in our lives.

On May 11th morning, the Mahaswamiji arrived at the PNNM Ayurveda Medical College at Shoranur maintained by the Peetham and went through the entire campus. The Mahaswamiji interacted with the Ayurvedic doctors and students.

A public function was organized to welcome the Mahaswamiji gracing the college for the first time since its inception. Sri P.N Gopalakrishnan, co-ordinator of the Yatra briefly described about the establishment of four Peethams by Adi Shankaracharya, and the greatness of Sringeri Sharada Peetham and the Mahaswamiji. He added that the Mahaswamiji is particular about Vaidika Dharma and is an ocean of compassion and has been supporting many medical institutions. Sri Muralidharan of the Ayurveda College recalled the visit of Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyathirtha Mahaswamigal about 40 years ago when the institution was very small. Today it has become a great institution, thanks to the support and guidance of Sringeri Sharada Peetham.

In His Anugraha Bhashananam, the Mahaswamiji stated that Ayurveda, the most ancient system of therapy covers the whole gamut of health science. The Mahaswamiji added that, for the success of any venture, one should possess faith, dedication and above all the grace of the Guru, and the PNNM Ayurveda College is a standing testimony to this.

 
  • 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
