His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, the 36th Acharya of Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri, composed this beautiful verse as a homage to His Guru, His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamin.

vivekinam maha-prajnam dhairya-audarya-kshama-nidhim |
sada-abhinava-purvam tam vidyatirtha-gurum bhaje ||

(I worship my Guru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha who is endowed with discrimination and great perception, and is a repository of courage, forbearance, and generosity.)

Inspired by its import, Dr. V. N. Muthukumar penned Enrum Puthiyavar, a book in Tamil, demonstrating clearly how each attribute mentioned in the verse finds perfect consummation in His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamin. The author credibly substantiates his analysis with episodes excerpted from the hallowed life of His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamin Himself and from His lucid teachings and benedictory addresses, in addition to discourses of His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji which throw light on the facets of His Guru mentioned in this verse.

Published by the Centre for Brahmavidya, Chennai, this book has been released with the blessings of His Holiness Mahasannidhanam Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamin and His Holiness Sannidhanam Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamin on 13 Nov 2019, the 102nd anniversary of His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamin’s sacred advent (13 Nov 1917).

  • 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
