Sahasra Chandika Mahayaga Purnahuti

The Sahasrachandika Mahayaga that started on June 6th, concluded with the Poornahuti in the divine prescence of the Jagadguru Mahaswamiji. The Mahayaga was conducted at the Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Sabha Bhavanam with Ritwiks performing Homa in 10 Homa kundas. The Jagadguru graced the Purnahuti by noon and blessed the devotees. Then Dasha danam, Suvasini and Kanyaka Puja connected with the Mahayaga took place. There was a heavy downpour in the afternoon without any disturbance to the on-going celebrations.

Kotikumkumarchana Continues

Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji graced the Math precincts in the Northern bank of the Tunga river at around 9:20 am. At Sharadamba temple, after having the Darshan of Goddess Sharadamba, the Jagadguru remained in the temple for one full session of Lalita Sahasranama Parayana being conducted as part of the Koti Kumkumarchana. Again in the evening the Jagadguru came to the temple by 5:45PM and remained for one full session of Lalita Sahasranama.

Atirudra Mahayaga

As a part of the ongoing Atirudra-Mahayaga, the chanting of Sri Rudra Prashna by the 121 Ritwiks created an ethereal ambience. The Parayanam started at 7 am in the morning and went on till noon. The Rudra Kramarchana started by 4:30 pm and ended with Ashtavadhana Seva & Mahamangalarati by 6:30 pm.

Cultural Programme

As part of the 10th day Celebrations of the Rajagopuram Kumbhabhisheka, the cultural programme featured Saxaphone vadana by renowned musician Asthana Vidwan Sri Kadri Gopalanath and group. Before beginning the concert, Sri Gopalanath mentioned that it is a great privilege to perform during the Kumbhabhisheka celebrations. He added that performing in the divine presence of the Jagadguru is in fact performing in front of Goddess Sharadamba. He began his concert with the brilliant Tilang Raga, playing “Sri Ganesha Sharanam” a composition by Papanasam shivan. The Jagadguru came from the temple of Sharadamba and blessed the musicians and remained till the completion of the song “Sri Ganesha Sharanam”.

  • 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
