Speech of HH Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji – October 8, 2011 – Mysore
Jaya Guru Datta
“I was strictly advised by the doctor not to move out of my living quarters. I promised him that I would not. He took my leave and went to the hospital. As soon as he left, I have come down. I could not be without seeing you. Many of you are leaving soon. I had to come and be with you all.
But I am not accepting any offerings. I know why you bring fruits and garlands, or some other items or donations to offer. You want to use it as an excuse to make it an interview. You will start talking about personal matters. I have learnt your tricks now. I am not going to give you a chance. I have to rest. I should not strain myself, because I have to get better. The body needs some time to recover. There are some important programs coming up soon.
You have enjoyed my presence for over eight hours daily these past ten days, while I performed my circus worship. Now you have to allow me some time off. I am happy to see all of you.
Please view the SGS Hanuman video posted by Puttu Gam on YouTube. Please chant the Hanuman mantras that I have given you for your protection. The future is not good for the world. Some calamities are predicted. There are some who can tell the future. They are called ‘Kalajnas’ (seers), like Veera Brahmendra and the French avadhoota Nostradamus. They have given many hints. 85% of their predictions come true. Even astrology is pointing towards some major natural calamities like earthquakes and floods. We have to be prepared to face them. We have to strengthen ourselves by doing the mantra japa and viewing the mantra videos posted by Puttu Gam.
Some things anyone can predict, such as you will feel thirsty after two hours. Death is certain for everyone. Nobody can prevent it. We all have to go sooner or later. Although I was chanting the Shatashloki Ramayana, I still could not escape from the fall atHachaFalls. I really did not want to come back. But I did because of your love and your prayers. I could not leave you. I could not escape the earthquake inDelhi. Along with the others, I too had to leave the building in the middle of the night. Then after well past midnight, we all returned indoors. There was a crack in the bathroom because of the earthquake.
You all have many questions, many doubts. All questions have answers. But if you ask me questions about the future calamities, and question why we all have to do the mantras and pujas, I will say, “Don’t ask me. I have no answer.” Such questions do not have any ready answers that you can understand. For everything God has provided. If you are thirsty, there is water. If you are hungry, there is food. If you are sick, there are medicines. But understandable answers, you will not always find at once. The answers will come slowly.
We cannot control Nature. These calamities will happen. We cannot stop them. Then what is the purpose of doing these austerities and pujas, you may ask. They prepare you to face the disasters. They will give you the inner strength to withstand them. These are good preventive and strengthening measures.
For instance, for reducing high blood pressure, there are some simple methods. Open the faucet and keep your feet under the direct running cold water for half an hour. It will bring the blood pressure down. When you get very angry, if you remain silent, meditate, go to sleep, or listen to some soothing music, the anger will dissipate. At such times, you must not talk. These are helpful remedies.
Like that, the Hanuman mantra is very essential for the present day and for the immediate future to control our inner tendencies. It will keep us calm. We must offer worship to Hanuman now. He is the future Brahma.
If we are told ahead of time that the door is going to be banged shut, then we will not jump with fright. If we know that the siren will sound for a preparatory drill, then we will not get alarmed when the sound comes. Otherwise we will get frightened and will react with alarm. If we are aware that we have to expect some disturbances, then we will be mentally prepared to handle them with strength. We can then handle the situation calmly. That is the reason for the guru telling you to prepare yourselves. Definitely Hanuman will protect us.”
