Vijaya Yatra Website Update: The Power of the Mere Glance of Mahatmas

August 22, 2013

The Jagadguru’s Anugraha Bhashanam entitled “The Power of the Mere Glance of Mahatmas” delivered at Karur (Tamil Nadu) on June 6, 2012 has been added to the Vijaya Yatra website. http://vijayayatra.sringeri.net/karur-june-6-2012/

Karur is close to Nerur, the Samadhi place of the saint, Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra, who is held in the highest esteem by the Jagadgurus of Sringeri. The Jagadguru mentioned that the association with Sringeri Jagadgurus began when the 33rd Jagadguru of Sringeri, Sri Sri Sacchidananda Shivabhinava Narasimha Bharati Mahaswamiji came to Nerur, had Darshan of the Adhishtanam of Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra and composed hymns on Sri Brahmendra and gave a Anugraha Bhashanam.

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
