Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji inaugurating the new Guest house

To commemorate the Shashtyabdapurti or completion of sixty years of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, a new guest house near the Sri Math complex was inaugurated by the Jagadguru on Thursday the 24th of March 2011.

Rakshoghna and Vastu havana were performed by the Math purohitas earlier on the day and purnahuti was performed in the august prescence of the Jagadguru. After inaugration, the Jagadguru performed Chandramouleeshwara Puja in the newly inaugurated building.

Aptly christened “Sri Bharati Tirtha Krupa”, the new guest house, whose construction began in February 2008, is comprised of four storeys, each having 45 individual rooms with modern amenities, and one common dormitory hall. The new stay facility will have a centralised reception centre, cloak room,  and lifts for the convenience of  pilgrims. The new building also houses a huge basement with ample parking space for 75 cars.

Below are some photographs taken during the event.

  • 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
