Sringeri June 5, 2020

Following is the Anugraha Sandesha in Kannada delivered by Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam on the occasion of completion of over one crore japa of Durga Parameshwari Stotram by devotees around the world.

At the onset of the global pandemic termed “Covid-19”, the Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, under Divine inspiration, directed one and all Sanatana Dharma Anuyâyîs to recite the Durga Parameshwari Stotram, seeking succour at the feet of the Divine Mother, and as a prayer to the Divine Mother to rid the world of the pandemic. Obeying the words of the Guru, many devotees religiously practiced the ritual parayana of this divine stotra and within a few weeks, collectively completed over a crore japa of the stotra.

For the protection of the righteous ones (committed to dharma), for the destruction of the unrighteous ones (follow adharma), and for the establishment of dharma I take birth in every age. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
O devotee, (with the mind) fixed upon the lotus feet of the Guru! May you soon be free from Samsara. Through the control of the senses and the mind, you shall behold the Lord indwelling in your heart! Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Mohamudgara
Have firm faith in God, his words and his servants. Have staunch belief in your religion and in dharma. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
An ideal disciple will indeed act as per the Guru’s instructions and not give place to thoughts as “Is it possible for me to do as he says? Shall I try something else?” If we follow our Guru’s instructions, it does not mean that we are unintelligent. It only implies that we have surrendered for our own good to a power superior to us. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
If we poke our nose into matters that do not concern us, it is we who lose our precious time. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
