A Veda Sabha was organised at Sri Sringeri Shankara Math, Narasaraopet on 21st March 2009. Conducted with the blessings of the Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, about 100 Vedic scholars from Guntur district participated and performed a complete Parayana of Krishna Yajur Veda in the morning. In the afternoon session, Ghana Swasti Vachanam by Veda Ghanapathis took place. The Sabha took place on the occasion of the 89th birthday of late Vedic scholar, Vedabrahmasri Tangirala Venkateshwara Avadhani, who was the Poorvashrama father of the Sringeri Jagadguru. The Dharmic life led by Sri Avadhani and his virtues such as devotion to Guru, humility and contentment were described by the chief guest, Vidwan Vishwanatha Gopala Krishna Shastri, Rajahmundry and the Sabha Convenor, Sri Tangirala Dakshinamurthy.

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
