Saama Samhita Yaga Poornahuti

 

December 10, 2014

On 10th December 2014, the Jagadguru visited Vidyaranyapura Agrahara in Sringeri and graced the Poornahuti of Sama Samhita Mahayaga in the house of Sringeri Math Samaveda Pandit Veda Brahma Sri Ramamurthi Shrauti. The Yaga was conducted for 7 days marking the 50th anniversary of Datta Jayanti celebrated since the time of Sri Shrauti’s birth by his father. The disciples of Sri Shrauti ji who learnt Sampurna Sama Veda from Sri Shrauti made all the arrangements for the Yaga. Talking on the occasion Veda Brahma Sri Ramamurthy Shrauti expressed that there is no place purer than Sringeri in the earth and there is no Guru greater than Sringeri Jagadguru. As per divine guidance, he had come to Sringeri and never had a second thought to leave Sringeri anytime. Eminent Sama Veda Pandits from all parts of India were invited by Sri Shrauti and participated in the Yaga. Blessing the Sama Veda scholars assembled, the Jagadguru said in his Anugraha Bhashanam that the Vedas protect those who protect the Vedas i.e. study and pass it on the next generations. The life of Sri Ramamurthy Shrauti is a testimony to this fact. The Jagdguru expressed great happiness in seeing the four generations of Guru-Shishyas of Samaveda, starting from Vedabrahma Sri Ramamurthy Shrauti.

 
  • 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
