Jagadeeshwara Zone was truly blessed by the presence of Guruji Swami Tejomayananda on the occasion of Shivsahasranama Archana at Jagadeeshwara temple. Swamiji said grace of the Lord is always prevalent and we have to invoke His blessings. Kashtam, sorrows, are a result of past follies. We, by living and enduring the grief, act in a state of sheer foolishness. Swamiji spoke with conviction, when he said one has to treat dukha and sukha from a state of equanimity and then move on. Equanimity, though hard to practice, is a test which can be made easy by taking refuge under Him. Worshipping His form and chanting His name is the sukham way of redeeming the self. Hearing Guruji’s ashirvachanam before the archana helped purify the mind and the devotees set about to perform the archana with devotion and zeal. This was followed by prasadam. Each devotee carried a personal takeaway of the worshipped shivalinga.
