On 28th November 2014 evening, the Jagadguru Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji reached Sri Krishnashrama Math Haladipura and was given a traditional Poornakumbha welcome by the Mathadhipati, Sri Vamanashrama Swamiji. In the Math premises, the Jagadguru had Darshan at the Sannidhis of Sri Lakshminarasimha, Durgaparameshwari, Chandramoulishwara, Sharadamba and Sri Adi Shankaracharya. The Jagadguru then performed Sri Sharada Chandramoulishwara puja and Srichakra Puja.

On 29th November morning, the Jagadguru graced Karki Daivajna Math, where Sri Sacchidananda Jnaneshwara Bharati Swamiji gave a respectful welcome and performed Padapuja. The Swamiji then spoke expressing his gratitude to the Jagadguru and prayed for the Jagadguru’s blessings for all devotees assembled there and for the developmental activities in the Math. The Jagadguru blessed the assembled devotees with an Anugraha Bhashanam and elaborated on the greatness of Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada and His works. The Jagadguru added that if we follow even a single Upadesha given by Bhagavatpada, we will be benefitted. The Jagadguru then explained the shloka “अविनयमपनय विष्णो” from Vishnu Shatpadi Stotram.

The Jagadguru then returned back to Haladipura Krishnashrama Math where Sri Vamanashrama Swamiji performed Padapuja and organised a Guruvandana Sabha. The Guruvashtaka Stotram by Bhagavatpada was recited. Then Sri Vamanashrama Swamiji delivered a speech in Konkani welcoming the Jagadguru and expressed that similar to God taking the Avatara of Sri Rama, Sri Krishna and Adi Shankaracharya, God has taken the form of the Sringeri Jagadguru and has come to the Math to bless all.

Then the Jagadguru graced the Rudra Homa Poornahuti conducted in the Math premises and left for Goa in the evening.

  • The Self (Atma) is never born nor does It ever die; neither does It cease to exist after having once existed nor does the Self come into existence, like the body, having not existed before. Unborn, eternal, It undergoes no change whatsoever and is primeval; It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • A person who hears about the condemnation of another incurs sin. What need be said about the sin incurred by a man who actually engages in nit picking? Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Prabodha Sudhakara
  • If you pray with faith and devotion, the Lord will certainly listen to your earnest prayers. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Our nation and its culture have a hoary past and we should all be proud of it. Mere aping of the West is not beneficial for us. For example, care of aged parents is something that has come down to us traditionally and we must never neglect this duty by imbibing concepts of some free societies, wherein concern for one’s own parents is at low ebb. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is a great blunder not to make proper use of the body and mind that has been given to us by God. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
