In the Kāmākṣī Amman Temple, they conduct the Saundaryalaharī Utsavam. From Vaiśākha Śukla Pañcamī until Vaiśākha Śukla Paurṇamī, each day the Utsava vigraha of Ādi Śaṅkara Bhagavatpāda is ceremoniously brought to Ambāl's sannidhi. There, the archaka recites each śloka beginning with the first śloka, शिवः शक्त्या युक्तो यदि भवति शक्तः प्रभवितुं (śivaḥ śaktyā yukto yadi bhavati śaktaḥ prabhavituṃ—United with Śakti, Śivā is endowed with the power to create the universe), offers puṣpāñjali, dhūpa, dīpa, naivedya, hārati, gandha, and performs pañcopacāra (five traditional offerings). He chants ten ślokas every day until pourṇami, and recites the final śloka, प्रदीपज्वालाभि: (pradīpajvālābhi:), and thus the Saundaryalaharī Utsavam is conducted. This Saundaryalaharī Utsavam continues to be performed in the very Ambāl sannidhi where Ācārya did the pratiṣṭhā of the Śrīcakra, as expressed in श्रीचक्रं स्वयम् आलिखत् (śrīcakraṃ svayam ālikhat). It concludes on pournami, symbolizing the ītīham that Śaṅkarācārya, Bhagavatpāda, himself, chants the Saundaryalaharī and performs pūjā to Kāmākṣī Ambāl.

वेदोऽखिलो धर्ममूलम् (vedo'khilo dharmāmūlam - The Vedās constitute the root of all Dharmā). The Vedās are the root and the core foundation of Dharmā. The Vedās are the repository of jñāna. A jñāna samuham (assembly) of which kind of jñāna? It is meijñana (True knowledge). यज्ज्ञात्वामृतमश्रुते (yajjñātvāmṛtamaśrute) - Ātmajñāna that grants mukti. We realize the Ātmajñāna through the Vedās - स आत्मा स विज्ञेयः || (sa ātmā sa vijñeyaḥ | | - That is the Ātman that is to be known.) We cannot believe what we see or hear, but we should research to discern what to believe. What type of research should we do? Without vitaṇḍāvāda (baseless argument), we should study the Śāstrās, Vyākaraṇā, Sāhityā, Vedāntā, Mīmāṃsā, Dharmāsāstrā, and Smṛti and understand the meaning of the Vedās, and grasp what they say beyond as satyaṃ jñānamanantaṃ brahma (Brahman is truth, knowledge, and infinite); मिथ्या जगदधिष्ठाना मुक्तिदा मुक्तिरूपिणी (mithyā jagadadhiṣṭhānā muktidā muktirūpiṇī - She who is the basis of the illusory universe, She who gives liberation, She who is in the form of liberation) - we should grasp the intention of the Vedās.

In the New Year, we should engage in Pañchāṅga Śravaṇa. By listening to the reading of the tithi (lunar day), vāra (weekday), nakṣatra, yoga, and karaṇa, we receive many benefits, including āyus‑abhivṛddhiḥ (increase in lifespan), aiśvarya, roga‑nivṛtti, and the successful completion of our good intentions without obstacles. We should learn the Pañchāṅga details every day. Although archakās in many temples perform Pañchāṅga Paṭhana (recitation), even today, it is conducted grandly every morning in the sannidhi of Malayappa Svāmī at Tirumala. By receiving the grace of Veṅkaṭeśvara Svāmī, the pratyakṣa daivam of this Kali Yuga, we should protect the sthala‑vṛkṣas of the many temples in villages, keep their puṣkariṇīs (temple tanks) clean, and conduct utsavas and prasaṅgas excellently. There are innumerable temples. All these temples should function according to the śāstric tradition, enabling people to understand our bhakti‑pāramparyam. With that understanding, many bhaktās should visit these temples, and facilities should be provided for them. In the upcoming summer, arrangements should be made for the Virata Parva pārāyaṇam of the Mahābhārata, along with setting up water stations and conducting Vasanta Mādhava Pūjā. By doing this dharma‑rakṣaṇam, for the bhaktās to earn puṇya, as stated in Gopura darśanam koṭi puṇyam (The darśan of just the gopura kalasam bestows puṇyam in many koṭi folds), and through divine grace, human effort, and saujanya (compassion) in society, for everyone to flourish, let us offer prarthana to Veṅkaṭeśvara Svāmī.

आत्मौपम्येन सर्वत्र समं पश्यति योऽर्जुन । (ātmaupamyena sarvatra samaṁ paśyati yo ’rjuna —Seeing others as equal to oneself in all situations, O Arjuna) Seeing others as one sees oneself—if I feel thirst, others too will feel thirst; if I feel hunger, others too will feel hunger; if I experience longing, others too will experience longing; if I feel anger, others too will feel anger. Using one’s own experiences to understand the joys and sorrows of others, and working to ensure that others do not experience similar hardship. It is with this spirit that the ṛṣis of this deśa worked for the welfare of all. For thousands of years, for several hundred years, in the land of Bhārata deśa, the ṛṣis performed countless meditations, tapas, studies, and research. Through deep anusandhāna (inner contemplation), they discovered many truths. And whatever they discovered, they did not keep patent rights for themselves. Instead, for the sake of the people, they gave us Āyurveda, Saṅgīta-śāstra, and many other sciences. All these were discoveries of the ṛṣis. Whether it is music, dance, prasangā, or even the Rāmāyaṇa śloka, everything is a gift from the ṛṣis. In the Bhārata deśa, it is the ṛṣis, who are tapasvīs, who discovered everything, including dhyāna ślokās and upāsanā‑mārgās, wrote bhāṣyās, gave us the Saṃskṛta bhāṣā, and the culture known as saṃskṛti. Because these came from the ṛṣis, they carry authenticity. Hara Hara Namaḥ PārvatīPataye | Hara Hara Māhādevā | #kamakoti #JagadguruVacanam
