Anugraha Bhashanam at Hyderabad (Nov 29) by Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Sringeri

FULFILL THE PURPOSE OF HUMAN BIRTH

Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji camped for about three weeks in the Hyderabad area during His 2012 Vijaya Yatra. In this Anugraha Bhashanam, the Jagadguru said that every Astika knows that this human birth, that is difficult to obtain, must be used properly. How must we live our lives? What will bring about our Shreyas? Our Shastras give detailed answers for these questions. However, not everyone can study the Shastras to know the answers to these questions. Hence, Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada has given us the fundamental tenets of Vedanta succinctly in His works. For instance, we have to ever remember the following words of Sri Bhagavatpada:

त्यक्त्वा ममाहमिति बन्धकरे पदे द्वे मानावमानसदृशाः समदर्शिनश्च ।
कर्तारमन्यमवगम्य तदर्पितानि कुर्वन्ति कर्मपरिपाकफलानि धन्याः ॥
