Speeches of HH Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji during visit – April 27, 2002 – Dattatreya Yoga Centre, Carapichaima, Trinidad
Speech in the morning
The Hanuman temple and idol are coming very beautiful. It is a miracle. Everyone is participating with devotion and service. Support this event. There is not such an idol in the Caribbean or in the U.S. Only three places in India have such an idol of Hanumanta. Two places were inaugurated by Swamiji and the third place is waiting for Swamiji. One is 30 feet tall, another is 60 feet tall and another 108 feet tall.
Why Hanumanta? He took form in Brahmananda rupa. Sookshma and Sthoola, like a Brahma. In Hanuman Purana, he served Datta as he wants a Guru. He is always a servant to Rama. Chant Hanuman’s name 108 times and sing the Chalisa with devotion. He gives blessings especially in this Citrabhanu year. Shani is king this year. There will be six months of problems, from now to November/December. This is not good. There will be confusion in the whole world, not only in India and Trinidad. There will be misunderstandings. Health will not be good, mind also. There will be lots of up and down. In the share market also. All business people will suffer until October. There will be a little release in November-December. Now is OK. The whether is not good this year. Too much heat. The ice is also melting. The sun God id heated up. The planets are changing. Five planets are visible in the sky. At sunset, you can see them. It is very auspicious to look at the five planets. It is necessary to look at the sky during these four months. Three are far apart and two are very near.
Do service and chant Hanumanta. Lord Siva and Shani will get very happy. And then our life will be happy. Attend all satsangs and bhajan sessions. Face your karma. Must practice the Bhagavatgita, Ramayan, Guru Gita, Bhagavatam. Sri Swamiji did a very nice Gita 15 years ago. Easy to follow. Guru Gita is a complete Vedenta. Don’t miss. Concentrate. Practice tambura sounds. It will give strength to your mind and nervous system and to help you complete what you undertake. Omkara is an easy method. Listen to soothing music. 80% of Sri Swamiji’s music is soothing. It massages the nervous system. Then we become stronger to face problems. You get strong mind.
Too much thinking is not good. Stop it. Too much dreams, illusions. Such illusions are not good. Swamiji’s darshan is truth. Not this play, your illusion. Many people say that Swamiji said not to attend satsang. No. Believe in Swamiji’s darshan. Say thanks. Don’t analyse dreams. It is not healthy. This is a big dream, sitting in swamiji’s presence, having His darshan. Lord Siva and Mother Goddess are Truth. Don’t analyse. You will get problems. Don’t mix dreams and reality. Some people get illusion and talk nonsense. That’s not good. I do not want such losers. Say thanks for the drama, Swamiji. What to do with your life? I will give you advice. Use me. Talk to me. Bother me. Quarrel with me. Your illusion is not good. I will give good answers and good guidance.
So we are not dreaming in this Ashrama. This year is very bad for the world. That’s why we are constructing a Hanuman murti like this. First one in this part of the world. I am very proud of the Trinidad Gnana Bodha Sabha. Builders are very humble. Subramanian has built many temples in India. He says to Swamiji that he has no problems, do not worry, everything is OK. Such a man we have got. I am very happy. Trinidad Gnana Bodha Sabha sending money. I am very happy with the Trustees. I am helping their families. We need your service to get 500 bags of cement. So who will give?
(Many devotees attending pledged to give the quota bags of cement required)
Speech in the evening during Satsanga
Sri Swamiji introduces the DVD on the Dharma Dhwaja constructed in the Mysore Ashrama.
This Dharma Dhwaja concept took three years. A unique concept. A very rare idea. It involved two-three companies. The water, light, sounds and recordings. There were a lot of problems, but finally it was made like heaven. Within 40 minutes, you understand what is the meaning of Dharma. What is the science, what is the nada. It will give a lot of information. Everyone visiting Mysore Ashrama sees a unique show like a museum show and the people get very happy. And finally we decided to make a DVD, done by Mani Shankar, a film director. A good devotee of Swamiji, who wanted to serve Swamiji. Then I give him this job to shoot this Dharma Dhwaja. Finally two-three times it spoiled and he gave a lot of money into the project and it also tested Swamiji. So finally we produced Dharma Dhwaja. So now it is showing through computer. So concentrate.
