Jagadguru inaugurates stotra portal

 

October 3, 2014

On Vijayadashami (October 3, 2014), the Jagadguru performed the Parayana of the Pattabhisheka Sarga of Srimad Valmiki Ramayanam and inaugurated –

“Jagadguru Stotra Ratna Mala (http://stotra.sringeri.net)”

– a web-portal developed by Sri R. Sivaramakrishna Sharma of Sri Shankara Advaita Research Centre of the Peetham. Speaking on the occasion, Administrator & CEO, Sri V R Gowrishankar mentioned that the website will serve as a virtual gurukulam to everyone who wishes to learn stotras with proper pronunciation. The website not only contains stotras but also comes with two types of audio for each stotra. The first is a verse by verse chanting of the Stotras. The second audio contains a line-by-line teaching of every verse of the Stotras. Sri Gowrishankar said that with very few people chanting Stotras today and with even fewer teaching Stotras to the younger generation, the website would serve as a great boon to everyone interested in learning Stotras. The stotras are available in various scripts including Devanagari, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, Gujarati and Roman (with diacritics).

  • 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
