As part of the Celebrations, the Jagadguru first had Darshan of all temples in the morning. Sahasra Naarikela Homa was performed in the Jagadguru Sri Narasimha Bharati Yaga Shala, opposite to the Goddess Sharada temple. CEO & Administrator Sri V R Gowrishankar undertook the Sankalpa for the Homa. Special Abhisheka was performed to the Utsava Moorti of Goddess Sharada and Mahamangalarati took place in the Jagadguru’s presence. At around 12:30 pm, the Poornahuti of the Sahasra Naarikela Homa took place in the divine presence of the Jagadguru.

Silver Dindi utsava : Marking the Silver Jubilee year of the Peetharohanam of the Jagadguru the silver Ratha of Sharadamba which is used for the Dindi Utsava everyday of the week (except Friday when the Golden Ratha is used) was refurbished with additional silver and offered. In the afternoon, special Anna Santarpanam was performed by the Peetham for all the volunteers who served in the Bhojana Shala during the Navaratri function. In the evening, a function was held in the Jagadguru’s presence to address the Sevakas of the Peetham. Addressing the gathering, the CEO and Administrator of the Peetham Gurusevadhurina Dr. V R Gowrishankar mentioned
that a grand function befitting the Silver Jubilee Year of the Peetharohanam of the Jagadguru must have been held on the occasion. However, due to a series of events in the year including the grand Rajagopuram Kumbhabhisheka, the function could not be held immediately. On behalf of all devotees, Sri Gowrishankar prayed at the Lotus Feet of the Jagadguru for the Anugraha to celebrate the occasion in Janauary 2015. The Jagadguru blessed all the Sevakas of the Peetham and the assembled devotees.

 
  • 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
