A very important Announcement regarding Vardhanti Mahotsava

April 10, 2021

In continuation to our several letters, invitation, news items etc. regarding “Divya Sapthathi Poorthi” Vardhanthi Celebrations of His Holiness Jagadguru Shankaracharya Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peethadheeshwara Sri Sri Bharathi Tirtha Mahasannidhanam, I am making this very important announcement.
 
Because of the prevailing covid pandemic and various regulations put in by the Government and the standard operating procedures that are to be strictly followed, it has been decided that all the celebrations will be done but in a strictly restricted domain. Only invited Ritwiks will be allowed and they have to be within a bio-bubble space created at Kaggehindallu vicinity and perform their duties.
 
General Public and devotees will neither have access to these places nor will any permission be given for anyone to visit or interact.

Even the cultural events will be in a restricted place.
 
For the benefit of all, all the events including cultural events will be telecast live on Sri Shankara TV channel and devotees are requested to watch the same from their place of residence and obtain the satisfaction of virtual participation.
 
There will be NO special darshan on Vardhanti Day. All devotees are requested to kindly take note, cooperate with us and help us conduct the functions without any issues.
 
Prasadams to all seva-kartas will be sent through post/ courier.

  • 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
