Jagadguru presides over the Vakyartha Sadas organized on the centenary of Vidwan Peri Suryanarayana Shastri

To commemorate the completion of the birth Centenary of “Vyakarana Vageesha” Vidwan Peri Suryanarayana Shastri, a Vakyartha Sadas was organized in the premises of the Peetham from 28th November to 30th November 2011.

Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji inaugurated the programme by lighting the lamp at Pravachana Mandiram on the morning of the 28th. The Jagadguru spoke about the scholarship of the late scholar, his unique position among Vyakarana Scholars in the Mahaganapati Vakyartha Vidwat Sadas at Sringeri, and his devotion to the Acharyas of Sringeri.

Many scholars in Vyakarana, including some of the prominent disciples of the Vidwan took part. At the request of the scholars led by Vidwan Vishwanatha Gopala Krishna Shastri, the Jagadguru Himself inaugurated the Vakyartha Sadas by rendering a Vakyartha in Tarka Shastra under the topic “Satpratipaksha”. In the afternoon, the Jagadguru graced the Sadas and scholars debated over topics in Vyakarana in the Jagadguru’s divine presence. The Shastra deliberation sessions continued over the next two days and the programme concluded with felicitation of the scholars by Sri Subbaraya, son of the late Vidwan Peri Suryanarayana Shastri.

 
  • 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
