Who is MAHATHMA (GREAT SOUL) ?

BASED ON ANUGRAHA VACHANA OF SHRINGERI 
JAGADGURU BHARATHI THIRTHA SWAMIJI .

Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji  

MONEY,POWER,SOCIAL STATUS,CAST DO NOT MAKE
 MAHATHMA(GREAT SOUL) !

SHANKARA BHAGAVATHPADA

A PERSON WHO FOLLOWS DHARMA IN LIFE IS A MAHATHMA !

SUCH A PERSON SHOULD FOLLOW FIVE SUTHRAS OF DHARMA --

1) HE SHOULD NOT WISH FOR OTHER'S MONEY.

2) HE SHOULD NOT EARN MONEY BY ADHARMA

    (STEALING,CHEATING & OTHER WRONG MEANS) 

3) HE SHOULD SPEAK TRUTH ONLY.

4) HE SHOULD SEE ALL LADIES AS HIS MOTHER.

5)HE SHOULD NOT WISH TO POSSES WHAT EVER HE LIKES.

HOW A PERSON SHOULD LIVE BY DHARMA IS ALREADY 

WRITTEN IN SHASTRAS(SCRIPTURES).WE HAVE TO JUST

FOLLOW THEM.

THOSE WHO ARE BORN IN INDIA ARE VERY LUCKY, AS 

KNOWLEDGE OF ADHYATHMA IS AVAILALABLE IN INDIA 

UNLIKE OTHER COUNTRIES. WE SHOULD MAKE USE OF

THIS OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE BY DHARMA HAVING TAKEN 

BIRTH IN THIS HOLY LAND. 

PEOPLE FROM OTHER RICH COUNTRIES COME TO INDIA

TO LEARN ADHYATHMA(SPIRITUAL) KNOWLEDGE. THEY 

PRAY TO GOD TO BE BORN IN INDIA DUE TO ITS RICH 

KNOWLEDGE CONTAINED IN UPANISHADS.

SHANKARACHARYA HAS STARTED FOUR PEETAS 

(CENTERS) TO MAINTAIN OLD GUIDE LINES OF LIVING

LIKE SANDHYA VANDANA(RECITATION OF GAYATHRI 

MANTHRA), POOJA ,STUDY OF VEDAS & UPANISHADS 

ETC.& NOT TO ALTER THEM ! 


DUE TO MODERN DAY HECTIC SCHEDULE OF WORK
PRESSURE IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO RECITE GAYATHRI
1008 TIMES,YOU TRY TO RECITE 108 TIMES, IF NOT AT
LEAST 32 TIMES BUT NOT AT ALL DOING SHOULD NOT
BE AN EXCUSE !
