Speech of HH Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji – October 27, 2011 – Mysore
Jaya Guru Datta
Note: The first part of the speech I missed; I am sorry. I gathered the content from others who had heard it and were willing to share it with me. My thanks to them.
“Viewers in 80 countries had watched the Shatashloki Ramayana yesterday. I was happy and thought that it might have been because it was a holiday. But today people in 100 countries have watched it. Some in Muslim countries have watched and sent messages to Swamiji. One person was in sorrow. He just opened this video by chance and watched. He felt better. He watched it 108 times and his sorrow vanished. He had never heard of Swamiji. He wrote a message narrating his experience. Such new viewers seem to be doing more diligent watching of the videos than all you old devotees.
You people do not utilize these wonderful opportunities that have been provided to you by Swamiji. Please view the videos, Shatashloki Ramayana and SGS Hanuman. If you do not have computers or for some other reasons cannot view them, at least pay sponsorship and have others watch on your behalf. Give someone else a chance, who cannot afford the facility. If you cannot do even that, write Om Namo Hanumate Namaha in notebooks and submit to the ashram. If you cannot write, then have someone else write for you. Sponsor. If you cannot do even that, then chant the mantra as many times as possible and give your count. Swamiji has given you many easy methods. If you do not follow any of these, how can you expect your Sadguru to keep coming to give you darshan, to keep speaking with you, and to keep removing your sorrows and your difficulties? Why should Swamiji do it?
Sometimes I beat my forehead and ask the Lord why He made me get stuck with family members and relatives like these! All these daughters, sons, daughters-in-law, and sons-in-law, and grandchildren, other relatives and friends, each gloating over either their physical beauty, their scientific knowledge, their possessions, their cleverness, their wealth or education and being arrogant! True, that I am responsible for this Creation and the counter Creation also. But, you must stop troubling the Sadguru with your thoughts, words, and actions.
Sadguru’s heart is softer than butter. It is more delicate than a flower. Yet he can be as hard as diamond. He can be extremely stern and strict. He can be with absolutely no mercy or compassion. Because of your bad behavior he becomes like that. Your negligence and stubbornness can make him like that. He patiently tolerates a lot of minor whips and rebuffs from you but finally when he loses his patience, he will execute one really hard blow! Beware! Do not irritate the Sadguru.
Last night Swamiji watched a movie with fighting and hard kicks. Viswamitra and Rajnikant are both good at making counter-Creation.
Continue watching Shatashloki Ramayana until the program in Ayodhya is completed (March 2012). Continue watching the SGS Hanuman Mantra video until Datta Jayanti and Hanuman Jayanti celebrations during December of 2012.”
