Parayana on Guru Poornima

July 15, 2016

Bhagavan Sri Vedavyasa

With the blessings and guidance of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam and Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam, a program has been conceived to conduct Parayana on the occasion of the very auspicious Guru Poornima to obtain the compassionate grace of the Acharyas. A small compendium published by the Peetham, contains shlokas for Parayana, and the Ashtottara Shatanamavalis. The compendium is titled Guru-Saparyaa, meaning worship of the Guru and is available online.

The Parayana event will take place in Sringeri on Guru Poornima at 6:30 PM at Pravachana Mandiram. The Parayana event is also being organized by devotee groups in their respective areas. Every follower of Sanatana Dharma may wholeheartedly perform this Parayana on the sacred day of Guru Poornima and obtain the blessings of the Guru.

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
