Speech of HH Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji – September 23, 2015 – Mysore

About Shuka Vana parrots, many do not know. Merely they bring and give seeds for their feeding and leave. It will be better if devotees get better informed about Shuka Vana, its services, and parrots and their features and requirements. The website sgsbirds.com gives information. Sponsors become permanent members. SGS birds paradise is a new website started in the USA for the protection of injured and abused parrots. Many are joining, only Indians are not.

After Navaratri Shuka Vana will host a big festival. 10K sponsors get a free pass to enter and participate. Next year, Shuka Vana may begin charging an entrance fee. Free admission makes it cheap and people do not recognize its value. That is the impression expressed by many visitors.. Devotees are there to sponsor admission, so why charge the outsiders, Swamiji thought. But now that thinking is changing.

No hospital is there or a place for protection for birds as there is for animals. Be informed. Do not go to Swamiji empty handed. When you go to him for sponsorship of Shuka Vana, go with full information about the organization.

Sri Guru Datta
