With the blessings of the Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, a Sahasrachandi Mahayaga took place at the famous Udbhava Ganapati Devasthana in Belawadi from 17th to 21st November. The Jagadguru travelled to Belawadi on the 20th of November for gracing the Poornahuti of the Mahayaga the following day. On 21st, the Jagadguru visited Sri Veeranarayana temple, and had Darshan of Lord Veeranarayana and Lord Narasimha. The Jagadguru also worshipped at the Udbhava Ganapati Devasthana following which devotees offered Bhikshavandanam and Pada Pooja to the Jagadguru. The Poornahuti of the Sahasrachandi Mahayaga then took place and the Jagadguru returned to Sringeri the same evening.

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
