Sri Shankara Jayanti Celebration

 The Sri Shankara Jayanti program was organized at Sri JCBM College. On this occasion, Sri Umesh Harihara from Srimath, Sringeri, inaugurated the event and addressed the gathering. He stated that Adi Shankaracharya, considered an incarnation of Lord Shiva who worked for the upliftment of the traditional Hindu faith during a time of decline, was a great personality who traveled across the entire country spreading the message of unity.

He further explained that while Lord Vishnu, in his incarnations as Rama and Krishna, destroyed evil through weapons, Lord Shiva, in his incarnation as Shankaracharya, used sacred texts and knowledge as his tools to protect the good and reform the wicked. By writing explanations on important religious texts such as the Bhagavad Gita, Brahma Sutras, and Upanishads, and by traveling throughout India, Shankaracharya succeeded in fostering unity among followers of the traditional faith within a short span of 32 years. He also established four main religious centers across India for the spread of spiritual teachings. He urged everyone to incorporate Shankaracharya’s teachings into their lives and make them meaningful.

The program was presided over by the Principal of the college, Dr. M. Swamy, who spoke about the importance and relevance of celebrating the birth anniversaries of great philosophers.

During the program, lecturers Smt. Lakshmi and Kum. Saraswati presented devotional songs dedicated to Shankaracharya. Jyothi Kakatkar delivered the welcome address, while Vice Principal A.G. Prashanth compered the program and proposed the vote of thanks.

IQAC Coordinator Dr. Vasanth Chouhan, Librarian Shivakumar, teaching and non-teaching staff, and students were present on the occasion.
