On 24th December 2015, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam offered a special Puja to Goddess Kalikamba, the guardian deity installed in the northern direction of Sringeri by Sri Adi Shankaracharya. Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam was also present during the Mahamangalarati and blessed the Seva Kartas with Kumkuma Prasadam.

The following day, the Jagadgurus graced the Poornahuti of the Shatachandi Yaga that was performed in the temple on the occasion. The Jagadgurus blessed the devotees, led by elderly scholar and former Principal of Sri Sadvidya Sanjeevini Samskrita Mahapathashala, for organising the event.

For the protection of the righteous ones (committed to dharma), for the destruction of the unrighteous ones (follow adharma), and for the establishment of dharma I take birth in every age. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
O devotee, (with the mind) fixed upon the lotus feet of the Guru! May you soon be free from Samsara. Through the control of the senses and the mind, you shall behold the Lord indwelling in your heart! Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Mohamudgara
Have firm faith in God, his words and his servants. Have staunch belief in your religion and in dharma. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
An ideal disciple will indeed act as per the Guru’s instructions and not give place to thoughts as “Is it possible for me to do as he says? Shall I try something else?” If we follow our Guru’s instructions, it does not mean that we are unintelligent. It only implies that we have surrendered for our own good to a power superior to us. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
If we poke our nose into matters that do not concern us, it is we who lose our precious time. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
