On the morning of 05-04-2025, Ardrabhishekam was performed to the divine murthi of Bhagavad Ramanujacharya Swami.
A replica of our Samatha Murthi was consecrated and blessed by our Acharya Swamiji at the Melbourne Ashram on this auspicious day. On this occasion, Swamiji gave an enlightening discourse on the profound philosophy of Visishtadvaitam, emphasizing that Advaitam and Visishtadvaitam are not contradictory but rather complementary. Visishtadvaitam can be seen as an evolved form of Advaitam. Perhaps symbolically, both Adi Shankaracharya Swami and Bhagavad Ramanujacharya Swami incarnated in the same month, same star, same tithi, with a shared mission — to uphold and spread the authentic message of the Vedas. The event was followed by Theerthagoshti.
In the evening, the Edurkolu Utsavam and a musical night were held at Hungarian Hall, as part of the Sitarama Kalyanotsavam celebrations.
Musical performances were offered by various music academies and Prajnā students, featuring songs on Sri Ramayana and Bhagavad Ramanujacharya, along with a skit on Lord Hayagriva’s story and an Avadhanam reciting the Hayagriva Stotram.
HH Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji shared inspiring messages from the Ramayana, stating:
A true human being is one who lives by their dharmic values unwaveringly, endures all circumstances with grace, and steadily moves toward their goal. Such a person earns the reverence of even the celestial beings.
