The Naga Sadhus who had been invited to take part in the rituals conducted in Banavara, Arasikere taluk to bring rain to the land had expressed to the organisers in Banavara about their intense desire to have Darshan of the Jagadguru Shankaracharya of the Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri.

Members of the Sadguru Dattatreya Vishwas Mandali in Banavara (one amongst the organisers hosting the Naga Sadhus) accompanied the Naga Sadhus to Sringeri and briefed the Jagadguru that the rituals as part of the weeklong meet of the Naga Sadhus were over and heavy rains had occurred for several hours in Banavara and adjacent areas (a region which had not witnessed good rain for one-and -a-half decades).

Jagadguru Mahaswamiji blessed the Naga Sadhus with an Anugraha Bhashanam, Phala and Tirtha Prasadam. In the Anugraha Bhashanam, the Jagadguru said “Bhagavatpada Adi Shankaracharya incarnated to revive Sanatana Dharma. Sanatana Dharma thrives today because of Sri Adi Shankaracharya. So it is imperative for us to have total devotion and faith on Sri Shankaracharya. Sri Shankaracharya established four Peethams in the four directions of Bharata for the propagation of Sanatana Dharma. Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham was established by Sri Shankaracharya in the south with the first Peethadhipati as Sri Sureshwaracharya. Since then the propagation of Sanatana Dharma has been continuing without any break. You all have
dedicated yourself for the same cause of propagation of Sanatana Dharma by teaching the righteous path to the masses and making them aware of the greatness of Sri Shankaracharya. So We are delighted to see you, who have come all the way here with a firm determination that this is your Gurupeetham and you need to have Darshan of the Jagadguru. I am very pleased with you all and convey my wholehearted blessings to you. May you all continue the propagation of Dharma and let the Grace of Bhagavan Shankaracharya ji and Bhagavati Sharadamba be on you all.”

 
  • 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
