Importance of Saṃskāras, the sacred rites performed in our Hindu traditions and Dharma Jagadguru Pujyashri Shankara Vijayendra Saraswathi Shankaracharya Swamigal Shri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam, Kanchipuram #kamakoti #JagadguruVacanam #SanatanaDharma #guru #JAGADGURU #Samskaras #SacredRites

Muruga Perumāṉ is the śakti who does saṃrakṣaṇa (protects and sustains) of this world. That is why He holds the śakti‑āyudha (the spear) in His hand. Śakti is extremely important. A human being needs śakti to speak, walk, and even to think. We need śakti to see and hear. Only when we have śakti can we perform actions. Even about Śiva Perumāṉ, Ādi Śaṅkarā says in the Saundarya‑Laharī, शिवः शक्त्या युक्त: (śivaḥ śaktyā yuktaḥ—Śiva is powerful only when united with Śakti). Thus, it is auspicious only when Śiva is with Śakti. A small amount of śakti, or śakti that stands alone, is of limited use. For example, if we want to build a marriage hall, we need a large space. If we want to build a thousand‑pillared hall, we need an even larger space. To do work that benefits society, we need a broad, expansive, and grand arrangement. For anything to function in this world, a mahā‑śakti is required. This mahā‑śakti should remove obstacles, harm, and negative forces. Good forces, when isolated, are not enough. They are good, but when they stand alone, they cannot accomplish much. When flowers of many colors come together, they form a kadamba (mixed flower) garland. During the Deepam festival, when such a garland is offered to Arunāchaleśvara, it appears majestic, grand, and magnificent. Similarly, only when many śaktis join Amman does She become Parā‑Śakti.Vetrivel Muruganukku Arokara! Hara Hara Śaṅkarā Jaya Jaya Śaṅkarā #kamakoti #JagadguruVacanam

For people to receive puṇya, and to receive both aruḷ (grace) and poruḷ (material well‑being), as the saying declares, Porul illārku ivvulagam illai; Arul illārku avvulagam illai. (This world is not for those without wealth, and the world beyond is not for those who have not gained grace.) To receive both aruḷ and poruḷ, as stated in the śloka, dhanam tharum kalvi tharum oru nālum thalarvariya manam tharum (Those who fall under Her pleasant grace would be blessed with Wealth, Education, a tireless mind), we must learn from Āñjaneya Svāmi the quality of possessing a manas that never gives up. As the śloka declares, Nallaṉa ellām tarum (grants all goodness). We do not know what is good. We make grocery lists and lists for other needs, but we rarely have the opportunity to understand what is good, whether at home or outside. There are fewer people to teach, less time, and the environment has changed. Therefore, we cannot learn what is virtuous automatically; we must make deliberate effort. Where do we receive all that is good? When we come into the sannidhāna of Bhagavān, we get good thoughts which guide us, and we gain strength in the body, clarity in the intellect, and noble thoughts in the manas. Thus, for a person to become a complete human being, a useful human being, as the saying goes, Aridhu aridhu manidarai pirathal aridhu (Being born as a human is a rarity), we have attained this rare human birth. For us to gain the ātma‑śakti and the divine anugraha to perform good actions continuously in this birth, we should go to the temple frequently.

We must preserve our sampradāya properly. That is why He (Mahā Periyavā) chose a place during the camp. It took us six months to travel from Kurnool to Kāñcīpuram, which was during Deepavali at that time. There is a place called Pānyam near Kurnool. Mahā Periyavā once climbed 5 kilometers up the hill to the Rāmar temple there, featuring a Gajaprishta Vimāna built under His guidance. When we were there during a Deepavali, He explained what a Maṭham is and its abhiprāyam (aim), मठश् छात्रादिनिलय: (maṭhaś chātrādinilaya:) - Maṭham is a place that spreads jñānā. It is a chātrādinilaya (abode of students) that imparts knowledge on how and how not to conduct ourselves, things we should know, and how to use our jñānendriyās (senses of knowledge) and karmendriyās (senses of action). Maṭham aims to create a society of śiṣyās, vidyārthīs, vādhyārs, people with tattva-jijñāsā, Dharma jijñāsā, Brahma jijñāsā - ज्ञातुम् इच्छा जिज्ञासा (jñātum icchā jijñāsā) - people who have the desire to know about Dharmā and Brahman. For this purpose, in the Advaita paramparā, they have established many maṭhams. These maṭhams engage in the pracārā of pañcāyatana pūjā, karmānushṭhānas, and the bhakti‑mārga. After one cultivates citta śuddha (purity of mind), they guide them toward ātma‑jñāna and continue the pracārā of the śāstras.
