Speech of HH Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji after Ramayana Discourse at Universal Prayer Hall – July 25, 2012 – Mysore
You all must be thinking why I came down today. Not that you are singing Rama Hare Jaya Sourey, not that you are listening to Ramayana. Some of you have a feeling that I’m unwell and stopped having food and are starving. Don’t do that. I’m fine. I just have some body pains. That’s all.
Some people are saying Ramayana discourse is happening in Kannada. I only know Telugu. I don’t understand. I want in Telugu. Some others want only in Kannada and some more in English. Try to learn all languages. Despite having so many languages, my best language is Silence. We are talking heart to heart in that language. What is your feeling I know and what is my blessing you know. That is the best way for Datta devotees and Hanuman devotees. Don’t worry. I’m fine. only little pain because at the age of 70-75, this is normal. Only my body is old but my heart is not old. I dont want to tell hmmm…. haaa… kind of sighs. I only want to tell Om Namah Shivaya, Om Namo Hanumate Namaha, Harihi Om Tatsat.Only some times mmmm… mmmm..mmmm sounds but that is also omkara. om..mmmm..mmm…. How much ever you groan, that also is omkara which comes from your naval area. If you say amma… ayyo… that is nama japa. That is beejakshara. Even if you say no one is caring for me.. that also is beejakshara. If husband screams at wife or wife screams at husband or children scream at both of them, all are devathas. Some are careful devathas and some are careless devathas. There are 333 crore devathas. I’m surrounded with them. They are taking care of me. Even devils have surrounded me. All three gunas of people surrounded. Why ? Because there should be re-birth for Raakshasas (evil) and why Devathas ? Because how long will they be there and Bhuta ganas.. those who were not cared by parents, they also come because they have love and affection towards me. All these 3 types of people are like different dishes in a meal like pulihora, chutney. I’m their ashram, home and temple. Where will they go ? You are all listening to Ramayana. Many asked for Ramayana in Kannada. Ramayana is not a story. It is our life history. It is human history and your history. If you think, you will know that it is your life style. It is not mere songs and bhajans, it is our own life history. Once again thanks and blessings to Ramayana listeners and Rama devotees.
Jaya Guru Datta !
Sri Guru Datta !
