Jai Veer Hanuman ki JAI
Great Bhajan session today by the children. Wonderful Shuka Vana program yesterday. I wish to see again. Nandini’s direction. Children sang and performed very well.
The nonstop Hanuman Chalisa chanting, will commence on July 31 Friday afternoon and will continue till August 1, Saturday afternoon, for 24 hours nonstop. Swamiji will get it started and will be here for some time initially, and then will be present off and on, since He resides close by. Everyone should do the Hanuman Chalisa chant as a penance.
Saturday is Guru Purnima. Swamiji has programs to conduct. This nonstop Hanuman Chalisa chanting (in the presence of Sadguru) is a good opportunity for this lifetime. Such an opportunity will not come again. Please participate. Sit inside the hall to chant in the designated area. Those who wish to chant intermittently, if the hall is full, you may join also by sitting outside.
Those who will be chanting for all 24 hours will not have rest. They will keep chanting nonstop. Some are prepared to sit for all the 24 hours, getting an allowance to rest only for 5 minutes after every hour of chanting, or for 10 minutes after every 2 hours of continuous chanting. Periodically, photos and videos will be taken. I should see the faces of the registrants always. Always their faces have to be seen, those who have pledged to do it nonstop for 24 hours.
How many have signed up for this 24 hours chanting? (about 450). Others may come and go and chant at their convenience. They will be seated in the back with a different access point to enter and exit. The ones who have committed themselves for 24 hours may not sleep or leave the premises. Their entry and exit doors will be specially marked and they will be assisted by volunteers.
No loss will be suffered if sleep is given up just for one night. The energy you gain and experience by doing this penance will be remarkable. Compensate on Sunday by taking naps during the day.
Use this opportunity. If you miss it, you miss everything in life. Do not miss.
Eat light snacks only. Eating heavy meals will make you sleep. You must not sleep at all during the 24 hour nonstop chanting session. Even when by rotation people step out of the hall to take the short, permitted breaks, the chanting in the hall will go on uninterrupted for all 24 hours.
Some registration is going on for individual recording of Hanuman Chalisa also.
(Friday 3:30 PM the chanting of Hanuman Chalisa begins along with Sri Swamiji, after chanting the sankalpam/resolve for doing the 24 hours unbroken continuous chant. Special entrance and exit doors will be marked for the nonstop chant participants. Volunteers will provide access as needed, to go on the periodic breaks as allowed, for stepping into the corridor for RR use or for consuming light snacks, and beverages such as coffee and tea which will be provided.)
Sri Guru Datta
