Parayana on Guru Poornima

July 15, 2016

Bhagavan Sri Vedavyasa

With the blessings and guidance of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam and Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam, a program has been conceived to conduct Parayana on the occasion of the very auspicious Guru Poornima to obtain the compassionate grace of the Acharyas. A small compendium published by the Peetham, contains shlokas for Parayana, and the Ashtottara Shatanamavalis. The compendium is titled Guru-Saparyaa, meaning worship of the Guru and is available online.

The Parayana event will take place in Sringeri on Guru Poornima at 6:30 PM at Pravachana Mandiram. The Parayana event is also being organized by devotee groups in their respective areas. Every follower of Sanatana Dharma may wholeheartedly perform this Parayana on the sacred day of Guru Poornima and obtain the blessings of the Guru.

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.
