New E-Book “Enrum Puthiyavar” (Tamil) Available for Free Download
His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, the 36th Acharya of Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri, composed this beautiful verse as a homage to His Guru, His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamin.
vivekinam maha-prajnam dhairya-audarya-kshama-nidhim |
sada-abhinava-purvam tam vidyatirtha-gurum bhaje ||
(I worship my Guru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha who is endowed with discrimination and great perception, and is a repository of courage, forbearance, and generosity.)
Inspired by its import, Dr. V. N. Muthukumar penned Enrum Puthiyavar, a book in Tamil, demonstrating clearly how each attribute mentioned in the verse finds perfect consummation in His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamin. The author credibly substantiates his analysis with episodes excerpted from the hallowed life of His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamin Himself and from His lucid teachings and benedictory addresses, in addition to discourses of His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji which throw light on the facets of His Guru mentioned in this verse.
Published by the Centre for Brahmavidya, Chennai, this book has been released with the blessings of His Holiness Mahasannidhanam Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamin and His Holiness Sannidhanam Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamin on 13 Nov 2019, the 102nd anniversary of His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamin’s sacred advent (13 Nov 1917).
