Translation from Avadhoota Dattapeetham FB by Archana Penukonda and Compiled by Viktor Vijay
There is a possibility Swamiji will play healing music on 13th evening – Sunday (IST). You all have this opportunity to listen to it. Let everyone know. All of you listen to the tunes that will be played, it’s good for you.
Today is our London ashram’ President Manubhai Patel’s 89th birthday. Happy Birthday! I bless you, you and your family! Manubhai Patel does Kriya Yoga regularly, that’s why his health is also good. We also should do. We only talk about doing it, we don’t, but we must start doing it. If we do, it will make us healthy.
In this Corona period, people are doing all kinds of things, Chanting, Pooja, Medicines, various kinds of medicines, Good Beliefs, False Beliefs, etc etc. People think that something good should happen and that’s why they do all these, and there is nothing wrong in that.
So much suffering in this Corona period, and people are fighting it in various ways. Our government are doing their best, helping a lot, it’s a big task and they are doing their best. Various other people of different religions and beliefs are also doing their best in their own ways, and I salute them all.
Last night I had a Vision. “Mantra Dhaanam”. (Mantra Donation). Don’t think that this is just another kind of pooja or system. This is not just another form of schemes, this is unique. This is a combination of Chanting a Mantra and Donating something along with it.
What is this ‘Mantra Dhaanam’?
You know the mantra “Om Ayim Hreem Shreem Shiva Raama Anaghaa Dattaaya Namaha.” Ayim for Sarasvati; Hreem for Aadhi Paraa Shakti; Shreem for Mahaa Lakshmi; ‘Agha’ means ‘sin’ and ‘Anagha’ means ‘sinless’, that is, ‘All sins are vanished’. ‘Datta’ means ‘gift’, ‘given as gift’, and also the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Maheshvara. I think you all know the meaning.
I gave this mantra to chant in the Caribbeans about 20 years ago. The chanting went on for sometime all over the Caribbean countries. And it brought huge benefits at that time.
This mantra is very powerful. The mantra may be chanted with/without Om in the beginning. With Om included, it’s got 16 syllables.
How to do this “Mantra Donation’? If you chant the mantra “Om Ayim Hreem Shreem Shiva Raama Anaghaa Dattaaya Namaha” 10 times, you take 10 paise and put it in a box or cloth. It’s 1 paisa per chant. If you do 100000 chants it’s 100000 paise, 1000 Rupees. 1000000 means 1000000 paise, 10000 Rupees. If you don’t have change on you, you can place the equivalent currency note once you chant as many times as the denomination of that currency note. One Rupee note for 100 chants, Ten Rupees note for 1000 chants, 100 Rupees note for 10000 chants, like that. You can do it in groups too. With your family as well. Any number of people in a group, the chant will be counted as one.
The idea is to make everyone participate in the donation. It’s not about the collection of money, it’s about involving many individuals, your intense participation with the chanting while donating.
All of this money will be used to donate food to the poor, orphans and disabled. Ofcourse, you can donate even without chanting, or you can chant once and donate the amount you want for this cause. Only 1 rupee for 100 chants. You can of course donate more if you are able to, but we want the count of your mantra chanting. I wish for everyone to participate. I wish to start right today. We will do Homa for this, so the count needs to be correct. Everyone can participate either in group or individually. With group chanting, only the group count will be reported, not individual count. But when you chant individually, you report individual counts. Hope you all understood what Mantra Daanam is. 100000 chants for Rs. 1000. You should do it. If you want to do Rs. 1 per chant or Rs. 1000 per chant, go ahead. But we want the correct mantra count. You may have questions for a couple days, you may have some confusions, you may ask Prasad, I know—there are many questions being asked, I know that—and we will give you the answers.
Today happens to be the day, it’s been 18 years today since Trinidad Hanuman was consecrated. And last night I had this Vision. I find it only now that it’s coincidence.
I wished to go see the Trinidad, Dallas, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Eluru, Guntur, Vijayawada, Cochin Hanuman. I wish to stay in those places for a few days. Do I get to fulfil my these desires? I also think that whether my breath continues so that all these desires are fulfilled. I wish to continue to breathe until then so I can see all those Hanumans. Go to all these places, see and do all that, and come back to you and be with you. All these at least once. Let’s see.
Jaigurudatta Srigurudatta!
