OM NAMO HANUMATHE NAMAHA
On the eve of DattaJayanthi A Divine message was given to thousands of devotees assembled in SGS Ashrama UPH .
Addressing them Poojya sadhgurudeva in his divine message said there is no one set path prescribed by Dattatreya for a man’s redemption from Bondage to freedom .
Lord Dattatreya has given many many paths for a devotee to walk through be it in Devotion,Knowledge ,Meditation or Worship of the Lord .etc etc ..
What is most important is that a devotee should have Love and Devotion towards should have Love and devotion towards the path prescribed by the sadhgurudeva .If a person chants or sings bhajans mechanically , it will have no spiritual benefit because it is bereft from Love and feeling .
Most of the devotees are YogaBrastas ( Fallen from the spiritual ladder ) If it were so then there was no need for them to go to a sadhgurudeva .It is the blessings of almighty GOD that they sonner or later have the blessed oppurtunity to be in a sadhguru’s company .
Through sadhguru’s association one day ot the other they get transformed into spiritual beings .poojya sadhgurudeva also said that he is not a washing machine to clean your dirt automatically .
You have to reap the fruits from your actions yourselves alone .Sadhgurudeva has no hand in your actions and you should not run away from your actions .The consequence of your reaction wheather they are good or bad in giving happiness or sorrow – you have to experience them all .
However if the supreme lors is worshipped / remebered or prayed with heart felt devotion than one’s faults or sin’s , even if they are as much big as a mountain , they will be burnt by SADHGURUDEVA grace .
A devotee will get peace and joy and will be in Bliss SACHCHIDANANDA .
Therefore every devotee should walk in his path with LOVE, Surrender and devotion .-Only then the benefit of SADHGURUDEVA DARSHAN or Sadhguru’s association can be attained .

Morning December 10
Jaya Guru Datta
“O Lord, You have brought me from the blissful state of non-manifestation into this manifested form. You have submerged me in illusion. You have brought me into pain. You have exposed me to suffering. Please give me back my blissful non-manifested state. Please give me back my freedom from Ego. Please give me Jnana, and good health so that I can serve others selflessly. The Sadguru’s compassion and darshan that I enjoy, may everyone else also enjoy. The fearlessness that I enjoy, may everyone else also enjoy it.
This should be our prayer, our attitude. We must never pray with selfish desires, asking only for benefits for ourselves. The TTD television Bhakti channel is televising this program. When we come to Datta we have crossed not seven hills, but sixteen hills. Datta is most compassionate. The light that shines inside theDattaTempleis the Light of Spiritual Knowledge, Jnana.
It is useless to fight against darkness, to get rid of darkness. It is useless to look for a lost needle not where you have lost it, but elsewhere in a lighted spot. That will not help you. You take the light to the dark spot where you have dropped the needle and then look for it. That is the way to find it.
Your ajnana or ignorance that is within you must be removed with the light of knowledge that Datta shines inside your inner self. Datta is also described as ‘pisaacha roopa’. While in ignorance one looks like and behaves like a demon. When Datta destroyed the ignorance of such a one, he became pure and divine. He then asked for the boon that the pisaacha roopa or the demonic form should be remembered. Datta granted the boon so that ignorance can be recognized and then destroyed.
Datta is also of the ‘unmatta roopa’, the form of one with a child-like carefree abandon. “
Happy Datta Jayanti to all!

A few of Sri Swamiji´s messages given during Datta Jayanti 2011
Jaya Guru Datta
· “It is because of Rama’s suffering that Ravana got killed. It is because of the suffering of Kurma avatara, the turtle incarnation of Lord Vishnu, that Amrita, the nectar of Immortality was obtained.” SGS
· “My continuous state of bliss you cannot measure. It is only by a curse that God incarnates on this earth. The purpose is to uplift others. Without some curse on the divine plane no benefit accrues to humans. The curse does not pain me. This is my duty to help you. If you expect that I will always be happy, your expectation will be met. If you ever feel that you have me figured out, that means you have bungled.” SGS on Datta Jayanti
· “Swamiji is moving God. You are all the priests and trustees. It is your duty to keep your God safe. He is your responsibility. You are in charge. Do not ruffle. Treat tenderly. If you do, through all your lifetimes He will be with you.” SGS
Puttu Gam Sri’s message – “chilukanu penchi ..” A parrot dutifully repeats Rama’s name when trained. Jungle animals surprise you with their sport if they are taught to play. A precious rock yields gem stones when cut and polished. But stubborn fools never change no matter how hard you try .” SGS on Datta Jayanti
Puttu Gam Sri’s message – “Sitapati Bantu mana ventanundu ..” Hanuman, the loyal servant of Rama is ever following and protecting us always and in all ways. Speak His name with devotion. Have others chant His name. In trouble He comes to our aid.” SGS
Puttu Gam Sri’s message – “Ekkada unnanu emi chesinanu ..” Wherever I may be, whatever I may be doing, I think of you alone, Datta. I have adopted you. You have gifted yourself to me. My power is nil. You do everything. Burn my inner trash. I take refuge at your feet. Mine is a strange puppet show amidst this huge crowd.”
Puttu Gam Sri’s message – “Vandanalu nindanalu ..” Honors and insults are one and the same to true Godmen. OMthat fills the Universe is their breath. They never lose. Commanded by the Mother Goddess they have descended to the Earth to uplift devotees”.
“The easiest path is Divya Nama Sankeertana- singing the names of God. This is not our home. This is not our planet. Our home is elsewhere. The scriptures through eternity have been trying to tell us this and have been trying to help us. This home of ours (body/mind) is attacked by thieves (our six inner enemies). Do not allow your troubles to make you forget God”. SGS Datta Jayanti message.
