Just observe the below magnanimous aspect blessed to the world by jagadguru Shree AadiShankaraachaaryavarya....
Amongst the 5 invaluable divine sphatika lingams gifted to the world by none other than lord Parameshwara during Shree Shankara Bhagawadpaadaa's kailaasa yaatra...,
namely.....
Yoga, Bhoga, Vara, Mukti, Moksha
lingams....,
the "Bhoga lingam" has been enshrined in the most revered jagadguru peetham of Dakshinaamnaaya Shrungeri Shree Shaaradaamba Peetham, that is the guru peetham for the remaining 4 Shree Aadi Shankaraachaarya sthaapita peethams....,
and is regularly available for darshanam by all the ardent devotees so that all of them are blessed with "Shreyodaayaka bhogams" required to lead a happy, peaceful, healthy and prosperous worldly life.....
The grace of Shree Aadi Shankaraachaarya is to be further extolled for that, to all the places Shree Shrungeri jagadgurus travel as a part of their dharma vijaya yaatra, they carry the Bhoga Lingam with them in-order to bless all the devotees residing nearby that place/city, who probably couldn't visit
Shrungeri yet because of their occupied mundane life....
I was thoroughly immersed in the divine grace of Shree Aadi Shankaraachaarya, when I was one amongst the several devotees that were blessed with the darshanam of Shree Rudrabhishekam performed to Shree Chandramouleeshwara Bhoga lingam, [ in Motinagar Shankar Mutt ], amidst the rousing mellifluous Shree Rudra Namaka Chamaka parayana that is known to bestow the devotees with good health required to consume all the eeshwara anugraha shreyodaayaka bhogams....
Thus, Shree Thotakaacharaya has extolled Shree Aadi Shankaraachaarya as below....
करुणावरुणालय पालय मां
भवसागरदुःखविदूनहृदम् ।
रचयाखिलदर्शनतत्त्वविदं
भव शंकर देशिक मे शरणम् ॥ २॥
karunávarunalaya pálaya mám
bhavaságaradukhavidünahrudam
rachayákhiladarshanattattvavidam
bhava Shañkara deshika may Sharanam.(2)
Most of us do watch / hear/ read news every now and then to know the happenings in the world around us...
For example...,
In a cabinet meeting where hon'ble,
PM, CM, deputy CM, various cabinet ministers holding multiple portfolios, IAS / IPS professionals, and other government executives discuss with each other about various public / citizen service aspects...,
do they talk/discuss various topics pertaining to public/citizen well-being / social welfare in line to their responsibilities or do they talk about the differences in their portfolios, colors of their attire, personal objects, vehicles, etc...
do they talk about "you serve the citizens in this manner and we serve the citizens in that manner thus collectively we serve the state/nation for the global well-being of one and all"
or do they talk about "you are not good at serving in your discipline.. we are much better in serving in our discipline...you are less...we are more and so on...??
So shall be the case / So must be the case with the spiritual world too....
Every spiritual stalwart has been blessed by Eeshwara,
irrespective of various names and forms of Gods and Goddesses they worship,
with a so and so elite identity / role / post / riches / status for the sake of making the prudent society /diligent world around a much better version so that the world at large can prosper in a much better way with each progressive day...
All of us take pride in...
varieties of fruits and vegetables we consume....
varieties of colors and types of attire we wear...
varieties of movies we watch and places we visit....
and so on and so forth....
Quite similarly we must take pride in the variety of the spiritual diaspora of our sanaatana dharmam that preaches
"ekam sath vipraah bahudhaa vadanti ....." respected by the panchaayatana aaradhana vidhaanam introduced by Shree Aadi Shankaraacharyavarya in an endeavour to consolidate the concept of all the gods and goddesses and thus was extolled as
"Om Shree Shanmathasthaapanaachaaryaaya Namaha"......
The recital of the below mentioned Naarayana sooktam's mighty verses is a good penance....
Understanding the essence of the universal parattatwam propounded by the same is a better penance....
Assimilation of the essence expounded by the same is the best penance.....

नीलतोयद-मध्यस्थ-द्विद्युल्लेखेवभास्वरा ।
नीवारशूकवत्तन्वी पीताभास्वत्यणूपमा ॥
तस्याः शिखाया मध्ये परमात्मा व्यवस्थितः ।
स ब्रह्म स शिवः स हरिः स इन्द्रः सोऽक्षरः परमः स्वराट् ॥
ऋतं सत्यं परं ब्रह्म पुरुषं कृष्ण पिङ्गलम् ।
ऊर्ध्वरेतं विरूपाक्षं विश्वरूपाय वै नमो नमः ॥
ॐ नारायणाय विद्महे वासुदेवाय धीमहि ।
तन्नो विष्णुः प्रचोदयात् ॥
ॐ शांति शांति शांतिः ॥

Namah Shankara Bhaanavay.... 🙏💐😊
