Udumalaipettai: April 23-24, 2017

Jagadgurus at Udumalaipettai

ARRIVAL

Sri Mahasannidhanam and Sri Sannidhanam arrived at Udumalaipettai to a devout welcome on April 23, 2017 at around 6 pm. After Dhuli Pada Pooja and Veda Ghosha, a Tamil Swagata Patrika welcoming the Jagadgurus to Udumalaipettai were read out and offered to the Jagadgurus.

Sri Mahasannidhanam in His Anugraha Bhashanam said that we must never forget Bhagavan under any circumstances. It is the Lord who protected us when we were in the most helpless state of being in the mother’s womb. Hence, it is He who truly protects us under all circumstances –

यो मे गर्भगतस्यापि वृत्तिं कल्पितवान् प्रभुः । शेषवृत्तिविधाने तु सुप्तः किं नु मृतोऽथवा ॥

Sri Mahasannidhanam explained the need for faith in God by quoting instances from the childhood of Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada and from the life of the great devotee, Prahlada.

Thereafter, Sri Sannidhanam performed the Sharada Chandramoulishwara Pooja.
