October 31, 2010

About 300 attendees of a Yoga camp, organized at Sringeri, assembled at Guru Nivas for the Jagadguru’s Blessings on October 31st 2010. The Jagadguru in His Anugraha Bhashanam explained that practice of Yoga as expounded in the Yoga Darshana of Sage Patanjali helps in controlling the mind. The Jagadguru advised the audience to take the practice of Yoga in accordance to the guidelines mentioned in the 6th chapter of Srimad Bhagavad Gita. All the attendees then received the Jagadguru’s Blessings.

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
