Devotees deeply engrossed in listening to the Anugraha Bhashanam of the Jagadguru Mahaswamiji at Hospet on 25 March 2014

The Jagadguru arrived at Hospet of Bellary District in the evening of 25th March 2014 and was given a reverential welcome by the devotees of Hospet. Then there was a Shobha Yatra. In the Swagata sabha, the Jagadguru in His Anugraha Bhashanam, elaborated on the qualities of an Astika and the root cause for suffering in the world. On 26th morning, after giving Darshan to the devotees of Hospet and blessing them with Phala Mantakshata and Tirtha Prasada, the Jagadguru graced the Poornahuti of Navachandi Homa conducted by the Hospet Taluk Brahmana Sabha. The Homa was conducted on the occasion of the foundation stone laying ceremony for Sri Gayatri Devasthana and Samudaya Bhavana (community hall) at Krishna Nagar, Hospet. After the Poornahuti, the Jagadguru laid the foundation stone and blessed every one assembled there with an Ashirvachanam in which He emphasized the need for being united in the society. The Jagadguru departed from Hospet after in the evening.

 
  • 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
