Vidwan Sri G Mahabaleshwara Bhat, Aasthaana Vidwan of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Mahasamsthanam, Dakshinaamnaaya Sri Sharada Peetham at Sringeri was awarded the President’s Certificate of Honour towards contribution to the Sanskrit language. Hon. President of India, Sri Pranab Mukherjee conferred the Honour on the scholar in a special function organised at the Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi on March 11 2016.

Born in a humble family to Sri Govinda Bhat and Smt. Ganga in Uttara Kannada District of Karnataka, he was inspired by his father, a Sanskrit poet, to pursue traditional learning. He went on to study the Vyakarana Shastra from Mahamahopadhyaya N Ranganatha Sharma & Mahamahopadhyaya NT Srinivasa Iyengar, Alankara Shastra from Mahamahopadhyaya Bhalachandra Shastri and Vedanta Shastra from Mahamahopadhyaya K Krishna Jois.

He is a renowned scholar in Samskrita Vyakarana Shastra with more than three and a half decades of service in teaching and research.

He has been deliberating on many abstruse topics in Vyakarana Shastra in many Vidwat Sabhas including the prestigious Mahaganapati Vakyartha Vidwat Sabha held at the Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri. He was one of the first to be handpicked by Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam for the “Suvarna Anguleeyaka Sammaan”, a prestigious honour for his contributions in the Vidwat Sabha.

He has also published many research papers and authored books to facilitate easy learning of Sanskrit and Vyakarana Shastra.

 
  • 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
