Documentary of the rediscovery of Kalady now online

April 26, 2012

Two years back in 2010, during the centenary celebrations of the rediscovery of Kalady, the present Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji released a documentary film produced by the Math, documenting the various events leading to the rediscovery of the Janma Bhoomi Kshetram of Bhagavan Sri Adi Shankaracharya, its importance and also the pivotal role that the great philosopher saint played in restoring the age old tradition of Sanatana Dharma in its pristine form.

Since the initial release the DVD has been re-stamped (re-printed) quite a number of times owing to high demand from the four quarters.

Today, the 26th of April 2012, on the auspicious occasion of Shankara Jayanti, the Vaishakha Shukla Panchami, which marks the day of the holy descent of the Jagadguru nearly 1300 years back, the entire documentary has been published online for the benefit the devotees.

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
