Jagadguru Mahaswamiji Performing Kalashabhabhisheka of Vinayaka Devasthana at ALaligudda in Nemmar

On 19th May 2014 morning, the Jagadguru arrived at Sri Lakshmi Vinayaka Temple at Alaligudda. The Jagadguru performed elaborate Puja, Kalashabhisheka and PunaH Pratishtha of Lord Lakshmi Vinayaka. The devotees of that place performed Padapuja and in the Guruvandanam Sabha held after the Kumbhabhisheka, the president and members of the committee submitted an Abhinandana Patra. Then the Jagadguru blessed the assembled devotees with an Anugraha Bhashanam. In that, the Jagadguru mentioned that Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpadacharya has blessed mankind with numerous Devata Stotras. In the first one on Lord Ganapati, Sri Shankara Bhagavatpadacharya uses an adjective “समस्तलोकशङ्करम्” to Lord Ganapati. That means one who bestows auspiciousness on all. One need not have even a pinch of doubt in the writings of Jagadguru Sri Shankara Bhagavatpadacharya. So let all worship the Lord Ganapati with steadfast devotion and faith to attain Shreyas.

 
  • 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
