Mahaswamiji graces Bhagavata Utsava at Perumbavoor

May 13, 2010

Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharathi Tirtha Mahaswamiji graced the week-long “Tapasya-Mathrubhoomi Bhagavatotsavam” in the evening of 13th May at Sastha Nagar, Permbavoor.
The organizers expressed that it is the good fortune of the people of Perumbavoor that the Mahaswamiji graced the venue.

The Mahaswamiji in His Anugraha Bhashanam extolled the greatness of Srimad Bhagavatam stating that the Mahapurana is verily a Kalpatharu capable of fulfilling the desires of seekers. The Mahaswamiji said the crème of Bhagavatham is the Dashama Skandam that bring out the Leelas of Lord Krishna. The Mahaswamiji then brought back to memory the stay of His Parameshti Guru, Jagadguru Sri Sachchidananda Shivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati Mahaswamiji at Perumbavoor. It was at Perumbavoor that Mother Aryamba appeared to the Mahaswamiji in a dream and confirmed the rediscovery of Kalady.

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
