Jagadguru worships Goddess Durgamba

Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji arrived at the temple of the guardian deity of Sringeri in the southern direction, Goddess Durga on 31st May. In the Sabha organized to welcome the Jagadguru, the Peetham’s CEO & Administrator, Sri V R Gowrishankar remembered the renovation activity in the temple that had been initiated during the time of Mahasannidhanam in the late 1980s. He also mentioned that many thousands of devotees in and around Sringeri Taluk visit the temple and seek the grace of the Goddess. With the blessings of the Jagadguru, the devotees have been conducting a Navachandi Yaga every year. This year, the devotees had come together to conduct a Shatachandi Yaga. The Jagadguru in His Anugraha Bhashanam said that a sincere prayer to Goddess Durga removes the effects of all diseases and provides good health. The Jagadguru commended the devotees for coming together and engaging in Dharmic acts. The Jagadguru then graced the Poornahuti of the Shatachandi Yaga. Immediately afterwards, the Jagadguru went for His noon Snanam and Anhikam and then offered worship to Goddess Durga.
