Varamahalakshmi Vrata & Krishna Ashtami

September 5, 2015

Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam performed the Varamahalakshmi Vrata on the evening of 28th August, 2015. After the Jagadguru performed the Mahamangalarati, Suvasini Puja was performed.

On 5th September, Sri Mahasannidhanam offered special Puja to Lord Sri Krishna on the occasion of Sri Krishna Jayanti. Sri Sannidhanam was present during the Mahamangalarati. Sri Mahasannidhanam also read out the 3rd chapter of the 10th Skanda of Srimad Bhagavatam that describes the birth of Sri Krishna.

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
