May 22, 2016

On May 20 2016, Narasimha Jayanti was celebrated at Sringeri.

At noon, Sri Mahasannidhanam offered a special Puja at Guru Nivas to the golden Vigraha of Lord Lakshmi Narasimha. Vedic Chants comprising the Purusha Sukta, the Narayana Sukta and Vishnu Sukta filled the air as the Jagadguru performed Abhisheka to Lord Narasimha, the Avatara signifying the omnipresence of the Lord. Sri Sannidhanam witnessed the Mahamangalarati and was present as Sri Mahasannidhanam performed the Parayana of Srimad Bhagavatam depicting the Avatara of Lord Narasimha.

Earlier in the day, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam had Darshan and witnessed the Mahamangalarati to Lord Narasimha on the external southern wall of the Sri Vidyashankara temple.

Special worship was also offered at the Lord Lakshmi Narasimha temple located in the Narasimhapura Agrahara in Sringeri. In the evening too, Ashtavadhana Seva and Mahamangalaratri took place.

On May 22 2016, Vaishakha Krishna Pratipat, Abhishekha to Goddess Sharadamba was performed in the morning in the presence of Sri Sannidhanam. After granting Darshan to devotees at Guru Nivas, the Ubhaya Jagadgurus had Darshan of the Goddess during the Mahamangalarati at noon.

 
  • 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
