Jagadguru at Sri Sri Ma Anandamayee Bhagavata Bhavana


 

Sri Sri Ma Anandamayee Bhagavata Bhavana, started more than two decades ago and handed over to the Peetham in 1995 was visited by the Jagadguru on 5th May. The Bhavana provides space for discourses, lectures and programs for upholding our culture and Dharma. During His visit, the Jagadguru graced the gathering with an Anugraha Bhashana. In the Bhashana, the Jagadguru pointed out the import of the word “Jagadguru” by recalling an incident where a person had placed a question before His Parameshthi Guru, Jagadguru Sri Sacchidananda Nrisimha Bharati Mahaswamigal asking “Does the title Jagadguru imply Guru of the World?” to which Mahaswamigal replied “No. Rather, it means that whoever in this world comes to Us sincerely seeking spiritual guidance, it is our duty to be their guide.”

  • 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
