The silver jubilee cinema completed now. Now, a new cinema starts.
With any amount of power, in any Yuga (phase of time), in any Janma (birth), one day we have to go to the Lord. Like day & night – our life is also going on. To know about the glory of the Lord is very difficult.
When, at what time, what action (sankalpa) is being carried – Lord Shiva knows about it. In Telugu language, “Evari Gati Yetlunnado, Aa Ishvarudike telusu.”
Our Yuga has a speed, a rhythm. The rhythm has a speed. Who plays the rhythm? Lord Shiva knows that. Some persons understand but, only temporarily.
The light comes, the Yuga comes, “Oh! Now, I have got the truth, known the truth.” Such excitement is there for a day or two. Then after two days there is sorrow. That happiness & satisfaction was not permanent. It is very difficult to know about the truth.
Knowledge of truth can only be bestowed in the presence of the Lord – for He is Brahma. Whatever is happening around is Maya (illusion).
All of us have assembled here at one place – by the Lord’s plan & our fortune.
We have a large family – brothers, friends, children, parents, sisters – so many members.
As we age, we tend to forget our near & dear ones, our family, one by one. They (aged persons) forget what’s happening. Why it is happening, they don’t understand! If you have luck (to live for 90 – 99 yrs), after 90 or 99 years – you just forget everything. You forget about yourself, your children. After, 90, 91, 92, they act like a child. This is Maya (illusion), this is a training for the next janma (birth). It starts now as you become a child again.
Our old grandfather, grandmother, maternal & paternal – as they grow old, they tend to forget all.
“You just had coffee.”
”No, I didn’t. Give it to me once more.”
”You had food now.”
”No, I didn’t.”
They tend to forget about themselves.
So much of Maya (illusion)!!!
“Grandma, I am Vasundhara.”
”Who are you?”
”Vasundhara, Your daughter!”
”My daughter?”
This is the mark of a beginning. Things are being made ready – to be burnt – after 90, 95.
Forgetting things is automatic in this worldly illusion.
Yesterday, there was lots of joy & love – for Sri Swamiji is to come. Lots of excitement & happiness – which is being fulfilled now. After an hour or two, the programme concludes. Then tomorrow, we speak about yesterday. Yesterday is over, today is very new. Tomorrow, today will become yesterday. We have only one day – today. The same applies to every (each) day, every minute, every second. In all this, we must remember all the good records that happened yesterday. For this, we must love & worship Guru – only then can we remember – otherwise not possible.
Remember all good records, in a good (right) way. If any record is bad, that is a lesson in your life. All bad that happens is for our growth, our fortune.
Don’t keep repeating the bad, “I am lost; Oh! This happened…” Don’t be tensed.
Just leave the matters of yesterday. Plan today for your growth & position. Prepare for tomorrow.
But, don’t keep looking at tomorrow. “What happened yesterday? What is to happen tomorrow?” Don’t be so anxious. Don’t spoil today. Be happy.
If good happens be ‘careful’ , if bad is happening be ‘uncareful’. Protect the good records, treat the bad as lessons. Disappointment is an appointment in our fortune (yoga). Hanumanji has computerised everything in our life. He is Brahma.
Brahma means computer man.
Therefore, “what should I do? What is my duty? What is my aim? What is my responsibility in this life?”…don’t ask this also!!
Whatever comes for you in your life – go ahead! If you get good advice through Sadguru, through father, mother, good friend, go ahead! Some advices create confusion. Good advices coming in your life are messages, which hold something for your journey. “Ahh, yes! I would like to do this. This is good.”
Don’t be tensed for events that have occurred or are going to occur. Be neither remorseful nor over-excited. Be happy always.
Always think, “This is my fate, ok. This is my sankalpa (actions bound to be performed due to strong affirmative vibes), Swamiji says my computerised, ok. I will experience my computerised. I don’t want to throw. My fortune, I will keep in my computer. It is His order, I will,” this is Guru sneha (love and friendship for Guru).
Sadguru approaches us in different ways, in the form of brother, friend, sister, teacher, Lord, magician. Our Master, Our Guru, appears in different forms. Master is Brahma, Brahma is Maha Vishnu & Lord Shiva. Think only about today.
Some people who don’t know about Swamiji have suddenly come – not planned.
Some people, have planned to attend the programme, but, couldn’t!
Some people have a 5 minutes plan. They plan to stay for 5 minutes, have darshan of Swamiji & leave. But, it has been over 2 hours & they are still seated here.
All this programme & planning is not in our hands.
So, anyway, it was a good presentation by our young children, young team. I am always following young team. In Mysore also, I have young team. In America also, young team.
Youth is very interested in spirituality, yoga & music. I am very happy.
These old, I don’t know, why they are always tensed?
“Adjustment,” leave adjustment. Run behind the Guru.
It was a good presentation. If you will come to Mysore, I will give some clarity for the next & some good suggestions.
Very good. I am surprised. All material was taken from the internet – some picture quality was good, some was very poor, but, originally the quality was such.
Vishal Datta – your grandfather is a good devotee. You are continuation of generations of devotion.
Everyone must strive to earn the right for Guru seva (service to Guru) towards your family Guru. Train your children in such a way that they have the right.
Having a Guru, a Master is a must. A tradition of having a guide is a must. So, never leave your Guru. Getting a Guru is difficult. Especially getting Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji! Very difficult. Running behind illusion, magic & music always.
We don’t know how to feel for Swamiji, but, He feels well for us always.
If Swamiji’s Drishti shakthi (power of vision) falls on us, even for a minute, it is more than enough. When Swamiji looks at all (Drishti path), we must have an attitude of service. Speak to Swamiji in your heart, He will answer. The answer can come to you through any means.
Don’t be sad that I couldn’t speak to Swamiji today. I want to sit & speak with Him for an hour.
Speaking with Him for a minute, a second, 10 seconds is enough. It is equivalent to the blessings & grace of 10 yugas.
I am very happy. Come to Mysore. Give your addresses & email addresses to Prasad Anna.
All Hindi people, Hindi devotees – seek friendship of ‘Hindi – Gujarati – Puttu Gam’ through Facebook. This is for private, selected devotees only. Many requests are sent to Datta Peetham, but, Datta Peetham is full. Puttu Gam is also full. You can subscribe the page. But, connection or contact with Appaji cannot be established.
Somebody please take the computer & book for Facebook. That is your duty, team work, Gam team work.
Something you are missing – I can’t explain. Equivalent to missing something for 12 – 13 years. Now, don’t miss.
You get address, messages in Hindi in this.
We must speak, write & learn our mother tongue. Mother tongue is Dev Basha – God’s language. English words come automatically. Hindi is the language of the Gods.
Only space for 2000 people is there at Hindi – Gujarati, 3000 already has been filled.
So, Jaya Guru Datta.
(Sri Swamiji lifts Raga Ragini Nada Yoga book.)
‘Raga Ragini Nada Yoga,’ is not available, must be booked for, then we will think about you. This is not for sale. This is a complete music book, written by Swamiji. A heavy book, for Ph.D. You must do, a good reference book, a good collection book.
Jaya Guru Datta
