Mahaswamiji graces Bhagavata Utsava at Perumbavoor

May 13, 2010

Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharathi Tirtha Mahaswamiji graced the week-long “Tapasya-Mathrubhoomi Bhagavatotsavam” in the evening of 13th May at Sastha Nagar, Permbavoor.
The organizers expressed that it is the good fortune of the people of Perumbavoor that the Mahaswamiji graced the venue.

The Mahaswamiji in His Anugraha Bhashanam extolled the greatness of Srimad Bhagavatam stating that the Mahapurana is verily a Kalpatharu capable of fulfilling the desires of seekers. The Mahaswamiji said the crème of Bhagavatham is the Dashama Skandam that bring out the Leelas of Lord Krishna. The Mahaswamiji then brought back to memory the stay of His Parameshti Guru, Jagadguru Sri Sachchidananda Shivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati Mahaswamiji at Perumbavoor. It was at Perumbavoor that Mother Aryamba appeared to the Mahaswamiji in a dream and confirmed the rediscovery of Kalady.

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
