Prayagraj, 07 December (HS). To keep the knowledge preserved in the Vedas, Puranas and Smritis alive till date, Sanatan is also safe today only through Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran written by Lord Vyas, Maharishi Valmiki’s Ramayana and Ramcharitmanas written by revered saint Goswami Tulsidas and the followers of Sanatan Dharma are able to remember their past times. One can gain knowledge of science, religion, tradition and way of life.
These things were said by Jagadguru Shankaracharya Swami Vasudevanand Saraswati while addressing in the Aradhana Mahotsav starting from Saturday in the room of Shri Majjyotishpeethadhishwar Jagadguru Shankaracharya Brahmalin Swami Shantanand Saraswati Ji Maharaj of Adi Jagadguru Shankaracharya Temple. He said that according to the Guru tradition of Srimajjyotishpeeth, a 9-day Aradhana Mahotsav is organized every year in the Ashram located at Alopibagh to pay respect, honor and tribute to those Gurus who have merged with Brahma.

Kathavyas Acharya Om Narayan Tiwari, who came from Madhya Pradesh, through his pithy story, while describing in detail the glory of Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran and the virtuous results obtained from listening to the story of Puran, said that Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran is the last work of Vyas ji. Vyas ji is the incarnation of God himself. He said that a person is covered with a veil of ignorance, that is why he cannot see knowledge. When we believe in God from our heart, then God resides in our heart. In reality, the one who dies is the one who forgets God.
