Sringeri Sri Sharadha Peetam Obeisance unto the hoary Guru Parampara, beginning from Lord Sri Sadashiva upto the present Acharya with Sri Shankaracharya in middle.In our Indian tradition, a very high position has been accorded to the Guru.Without the grace of the Guru, no one can attain fulfilment of the purpose of life.We all desire Moksha, and the sole means to its attainment is Jnana (knowledge).How can that knowledge be obtained by us? Can it be got by perusal of texts?No, this knowledge can be procured only from a Guru. Even though the Rishisseeking knowledge may have been scholarly, it is certain that their acquisition ofknowledge was solely dependent on their seeking it from a Guru. Only thatknowledge which is obtained from the lotus mouth of the Guruis potent. Sans a Guru, no matter how many texts we may delve into,we cannot attain that knowledge. There is a hoary tradition everywherewhich can be learnt only from the Guru.Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada and DakshinamnayaSri Sharada Peetam, Sringeri are Divine Names Blissfully Intertwinedand Inseparable in the spiritual annals of Bharat Varsha. BhagavatpadaShankara, for resurrecting, firmly establishing and anchoring for eternity,the Non-Dualistic Philosophy of Advaita and Sri Sharada Peetam, Sringeri,the first and the foremost amongst the four Amnaya Peetams founded byBhagavatpada Shankara, for perpetual preservation of Sanatana Dharmathrough the unceasing propagation and unrivalled Tapas, unbrokenlyperformed by the chosen Seers of Holy Mother Sharadamba, the Peetamthereby carrying the unique and Holy Title \"AVICHINNA GURU PARAMBARA\"(UNBROKEN LINEAGE OF ACHARYALS) embellishing the divine VYAKHYANASIMHASANA - THE THRONE OF TRANSCENDENTAL WISDOM.When the dualistic mundane world has taught us the invincible truththat nothing is permanent and things which emerge must dissolveor exit, Sharada Peetam, Sringeri, since its glorious advent in the9th century, continues to propagate Sanatana Dharma all throughthe past 1200 years.We The Devotees of Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetam, are the Blessed One .And we had lot of Punyas to get the Janma as the Devotees of Sringeri Mutt. Instead of using the tongue for speaking futile issues, use it to chant the names of God. God shall then guide you along the right and beneficial path. – His Holiness Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal

SOUNDERYALAHERI - Sree AdvaithaAdi shankarachariyar gave us two wonderful 100 slokas describing aboutLord Parameswara in the name of Sivananadalaheri which will tell about the bakthawho speaks about his inner wishes to be in near to the lotus feet of Him.Sounderyalaheri is one which gives about the Mandra, Thandra, Sowrupa & also desceribe the Kesari pada varnanai of Maa Rajarajeswari. in his 100 slokas.There is also another general view that first 41 slokas are said by Nandi Deva.Rest 59 slokas are given by Sri Adi Shankara..First part 41 slokas is calledAnandalaheri, Second part 59 slokas called Sounderyalaheri.We cant tell full about sounderyalaheri but will see short about each slokas as that we can get an introduction about what is said. then we can get more byreading from any of these legends commentary. Any thing read by knowingthe meaning is always best. From this Issue we are Giving One Sloka With Meaning.1. UTKARSHA OF MAA PARASHAKTHI: Siva: Sakthiya yukto yathi bavathi chantha: prapavitum Na chedevam devo nakalu kushala: ispainthithu -mabi ! Athais- ithvaa-maaraaithyam hari-hara-vireinj chathibi-rabi ipranainthum isthothum vaa kathamaikrutham-puinya: iprabavathi !! (1) Hey Matha Prameshwari ! Lord paramasiva when joined with you he get the power of doing the Shrusti, Sthithi, Samkara, Triyothana, Anughraga for the creation of this prapanja. Without you he is not capable of doing any of his duty & he becomes a jada (i.e., not able to move himself) By doing these five duties only he is showing that he is the Iswara for this universe. As Lord Paramashiva can't do anything without you, how Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, Indra, Agni, Yama and all other Devada can perform without surrendering to you. With the grace of yourselves only they are doing all. As even those Devadas doesnot able to do anything without you... How a person who have not done any punya karma in his past jenma's will be eligible to do Namaskara or think of you or hear your mahima or tell at least a line of your sloka or do your puja..?

BHARATI THEERTHAR ATHICHUDIDuring the Occasion of 60th Vardhanthi of His Holiness Sri Sri Bharati Theertha Mahaswamigal,Bharathi Kavalar Sri K. Ramamurthy wrote an Athichudi Which Consists of 60 Golden Sayingsof the Acharyal. Here We try to Explain the Bharati Theerthar Athichudi with Examples. Explanation: Sree Advaitha1. WAKE UP IN THE EARLY MORNING:We have to wake in the early morningbefore sunrise. (i.e. in the Brahma moohurtham)This is because in that time it is said that ourmind will be very clear. It will be in the peace.It will grasp the power around us. When we dochanting at that time with a peace within usour concentration will be more. So it is saidthat we should wake up early.When scientifically we see, the ozone is purein that time.So all the system in our body willfunction in the perfect way.So for all our morningduties of extracting the waste from our bodythat vayu (gas) will work in the perfect way.So it is good for health. So that Only Ourancestors are advise us to wakeup in theEarly Morning without fail.Sri Guru Pahimam His Holiness Sri Sri Bharati Theertha MahaswamigalGolden Sayings of Glorious GuruIf a man says that the Himalaya mountain exists, cananother man deny its existence, merely because he hasnever seen it? Obviously not. Similarly, many sages haveseen and realized God. Sankaracharya, Vidyaranya,and Sadasiva Brahmendra are only some of the thousandswho have had a direct experience of God. So it isimpossible to deny God's existence, merely becausewe are unable to see Him, due to the darkness ofignorance which covers our eyes. - His Holiness Sri Sri Chandrasekhara Bharathi Mahaswamigal

Historic Event of the Sringeri MuttOn January 23, 2015, continuing this unbroken Guru-Shisya lineage that stretchesdirectly back to Sri Adi Shankaracharya, the 36th Jagadguru Shankaracharyaof Sringeri Sharada Peetham, Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji anointedHis successor. In a traditional ceremony, the Jagadguru initiated BrahmachariSri Kuppa Venkateshwara Prasada Sharma into Sannyasa and bestowedupon him the Yoga Patta (monastic name) of Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati.Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Swamiji was born as Sri His Holiness Sri Sri VidhushekharaKuppa Venkateshwara Prasada Sharma on the auspicious Bharati MahaswamigalNaga Panchami day — July 24, 1993 — in Tirupati, AndhraPradesh. Born as the second son of Sri Kuppa ShivasubrahmanyaAvadhani and Smt. Seetha Nagalakshmi, He belonged to theKaundinya Gotra and is a native of Anantavaram, Guntur District inAndhra Pradesh. His family has a long lineage of illustriousVedic Pandits who were all ardent disciples of the Sringeri Jagadgurus.Born in a family of disciples of the Sringeri Jagadguru, the Brahmachari hadaccompanied his father while the latter had come to Sringeri to participate inDharmic activities in the years 2006, 2008 and 2009. The Darshan of JagadguruSri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji during these visits made a profound impacton the Brahmachari. The Brahmachari expressed his desire of studying Shastrasdirectly under the Jagadguru in early 2009. With the blessings and consent ofJagadguru Mahaswamiji, the Brahmachari took refuge under His Lotus Feet inJune 2009. Under the tutelage of the Jagadguru, the Brahmachari mastered theSanskrit language. Then, the Jagadguru Himself taught the Brahmachari theentire Tarka Shastra. The Brahmachari is endowed with Guru Bhakti, scholarshipin the Vedas and Shastras, adherence to tradition and dispassion.The Sringeri Guru Parampara lineage has been central to the preservationand growth of Sanatana Dharma. The induction of Sri Sri VidhushekharaBharati Swamiji is therefore an event of historic importance to followersof Sanatana Dharma throughout the world.
