Speech of HH Sri Datta Vijayananda Teertha Swamiji – June 15, 2016 – Mysore
Compiled by Smt Hira Duvvuri
Today in the month of Jyeshta, in the waxing phase, the lunar phases, Dasami and Ekadasi (10th and 11th) have come together. It is also Dasahara Jayanti. The sacred river Ganga was born today from Lord Vamana’s feet.
Everyone should support the Veda Nidhi project. Research is being done on the Vedas, now here also, at Avadhoota Datta Peetham, and not only at I Serve. Today and tomorrow are very good days. Rigveda Havana Maha Purnahuti was just now offered by Sadguru Sri Swamiji. It is his Birthday also, as per the Indian almanac. We will celebrate it here tomorrow, because Ekadasi is there tomorrow also.
Near the river Ganga, earlier the court passed a law that no new construction was allowed in Kasi. Avadhoota Datta Peetham got the site there but we were not allowed any construction by court order. Kailasnath Agarwal has now brought the new court order that has granted us permission to build on the site. Kasi’s new ashrama construction will take place before Sri Swamiji’s 75th Birthday. Swamiji will visit the new ashram there. Donate for the ashram construction now, either today or tomorrow, both very auspicious days. Even a lump of mud donated in Kasi gives great benefit. Imagine how much merit you will earn by donating towards the new Guru Nilayam in Kasi, on the banks of river Ganga. Today they are commencing work.
Tomorrow, we celebrate Sri Swamiji’s Birthday here at the ashram, according to the lunar day according to Hindu calendar.
Next year Ati Rudra Yagam will be performed at the ashrama in Kasi. Everyone is urged to participate.
75 texts have been published by Veda Nidhi so far, relating to the Vedas. Devotees may sponsor these books through puja counter.
Sri Guru Datta
