On March 9th 2014, Sri Durgamba Rathotsava was celebrated at Sringeri. At noon, the Jagadguru offered two grand silver Mandapams, one to Goddess Vana Durga and another to Sri Mallikarjuna Swami and performed an elaborate Puja. The Rathotsava was conducted at 4 PM even as a slight drizzle occurred as if to signal the blessings of Goddess Durga.

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.
