Kumbhabhisheka at Sringeri Shankara Math

On December 27th, the Jagadguru performed the Kumbhabhisheka of Sri Adi
Shankaracharya, Chandramoulishwara and Sharadamba at the Sringeri Shankara
Math in Vemulawada.

In the evening, the Jagadguru gave an Anugraha Bhashanam in the premises of
the Rajarajeshwara temple. In His Anugraha Bhashanam, the Jagadguru said
that Bhagavan had protected the good, annihilated evil, and had graced
devotees. The Jagadguru stated that it was the same Bhagavan who sported
many forms and names.

There is a text called *“Karma Vipaka”* that correlates sins committed in
the past to sufferings being endured in the present, along with
Prayaschittas to alleviate the suffering. The text discusses the cause for
a person who suffers from stomach ache in this life through the following
verse:

यो ब्रह्मविष्णुरुद्राणां भेदमुत्तमभावतः ।
साधयेत् उदरव्याधियुक्तो भवति मानवः ॥

*He who argues and tries to establish that Brahma is greater than Vishnu
and Shiva, or that Vishnu is the greatest or that Shiva is the Supreme,
suffers from stomach ache in his future births.*

The Jagadguru then recounted an incident that occurred at a place during a
previous Yatra. A (Vaishnava) scholar suggested that the day being Sri Rama
Navami, a committee be formed for the celebrations of the birth of Sri Rama
in a grand manner throughout India, and the President and the Secretary of
the Committee be accepted as Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. The Jagadguru
in His Anugraha Bhashanam replied to the suggestion that the next time
Mahashivaratri needs to be celebrated, a similar all-India Committee must
be formed and Sri Rama and Mother Sita be appointed the President and
Secretary of the Committee. This however did not seem acceptable to the
scholar as he saw differences between the forms of God. The Jagadguru
emphasized that when the Shastras unequivocally proclaim that God is One,
there is no reason to argue or exert effort in establishing the relative
greatness of any of the forms of God over others.

The Jagadguru explained the omnipresence of Bhagavan through the story of
Prahlada, and Bhagavan’s nature of being at the service of His true devotee
through the life of Raja Ambarisha, and Bhagavan gracing a true devotee
through the lives of Vibhishana, the hunter Kannappa and Draupadi.

The Jagadguru underlined the significance of chanting the Divine Naama of
Ishwara by quoting the following two verses:

यत्कृत्यं तन्नकृतं यदकृत्यं कृत्यवदाचरितम् ।
उभयोः प्रायश्चित्तं शिव तव नामाक्षरद्वयोच्चरितम् ॥

*That which has been ordained has been neglected. That which has been
prohibited has been done by me as if it was ordained. O Lord! It is the
chanting of Your name that absolves both these sins.*

शिवनामनि भावितेऽन्तरङ्गे
महति ज्योतिषि महनीयमयार्धे ।
दुरितानि अपयान्ति दूरदूरे
मुहुरायान्ति महान्ति मङ्गलानि ॥

*When the Divine Name of Lord Shiva is held in the heart, all sins leave
the chanter, and all auspiciousness arrives.*

The Jagadguru also said that it is essential to abandon unnecessary acts
and spend time usefully by chanting the Divine Name. Yet people seldom
follow this. That is why it is said:

नमः शिवाय मन्त्रोऽयं वागेषा वशवर्तिनी ।
अहो मोहस्य माहात्म्यं नरकं येन पश्यति ॥

*The Lord’s name can be chanted very easily. Yet wonder of wonders! Moha
(delusion) is so powerful that people fail to chant the Lord’s name and are
going to end up in hell.*

The Jagadguru ended the Bhashanam stressing the importance of the Divine
Name, and invoking the Grace of Sri Rajarajeshwara Swamy for the welfare of
all.

*उदरान्तरीय रोगोपशमनव्रत*

( मन्त्नमहार्णव ) - जो मनुष्य ब्रह्मा, विष्णु और महेशमें भेद मानते हैं,
उनके उदरगत व्याधियाँ होती है । उनके निवारणके लिये कृच्छ्र और अतिकृच्छ्र
चान्द्रायणव्रत, *' उद्यन्भ्राज ०' *के दस हजार जप और शिवजीका सहस्त्रघटाभिषेक
करनेसे सम्पूर्ण व्याधियाँ दूर होती हैं ।

*२. यो ब्रह्मविष्णुरुद्राणां भेदमुत्तमभावतः ।कुर्यात् स उदरव्याधियुक्तो
भवति मानवः ॥ ( शातातप )*
