Jagadguru worships Lord Lakshmi Narasimha

On 30th April 2007, Sri Narasimha Jayanti was observed. The Jagadguru worshipped Lord Lakshmi Narasimha that afternoon. Vedic Chants comprising the Pursha Sukta and Mahanarayana Upanishad filled the air as the Jagadguru performed Abhisheka to Lord Narasimha, the Avatara signifying the omnipresence of the Lord.

In the evening, the Jagadguru released the book “Saswara Mahanyasaadi Mantrah” published by Sri Sharada Vidya Prathisthana, Adhyatma Vichara Samiti. This book contains Mahanyasa along with Kannada translation. Elderly scholars, Vidwan Sri N. Ranganatha Sharma and Vidwan Sri Seshachala Sharma were honoured on the occasion. The Jagadguru extolled the greatness of Sri Rudram in His Anugraha Bhashana.

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
