A very important Announcement regarding Vardhanti Mahotsava

April 10, 2021

In continuation to our several letters, invitation, news items etc. regarding “Divya Sapthathi Poorthi” Vardhanthi Celebrations of His Holiness Jagadguru Shankaracharya Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peethadheeshwara Sri Sri Bharathi Tirtha Mahasannidhanam, I am making this very important announcement.
 
Because of the prevailing covid pandemic and various regulations put in by the Government and the standard operating procedures that are to be strictly followed, it has been decided that all the celebrations will be done but in a strictly restricted domain. Only invited Ritwiks will be allowed and they have to be within a bio-bubble space created at Kaggehindallu vicinity and perform their duties.
 
General Public and devotees will neither have access to these places nor will any permission be given for anyone to visit or interact.

Even the cultural events will be in a restricted place.
 
For the benefit of all, all the events including cultural events will be telecast live on Sri Shankara TV channel and devotees are requested to watch the same from their place of residence and obtain the satisfaction of virtual participation.
 
There will be NO special darshan on Vardhanti Day. All devotees are requested to kindly take note, cooperate with us and help us conduct the functions without any issues.
 
Prasadams to all seva-kartas will be sent through post/ courier.

  • 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
