Happy Datta Jayanthi to you all. On behalf of all the data devotees I would like to wish Pujya Swamiji Happy birthday. Datta and Swamiji are one and the same for all the datta devotees. All of you know that on this auspicious occasion of Datta Jayanthi.
Swamiji resolves to release a wonderful book on the commentary on Sri Jayalakshmi Mata’s twelve commandments. We are all in the presence of Karyasiddhi Anjaneya Swami and Sri Swamiji on this auspicious Dattajayanti festival in the year called Nandana. All of us read in Swamiji’s life history, sixty years back on this same year called Nandana, Sri Jayalakshmi Mata had initiated twelve commandments to Swamiji. This year again it is the year Nandana which is very auspicious to us. These are the great hymns we receive from Sri Swamiji. Generally hymns are in Sanskrit. But these hymns are in a very easy language. Our Mother blessed us all with the commandments through our father Sri Swamiji. This year sixty years were completed after the initiation by Sri Jaya lakshmi Mata and we have consecrated seventy feet Karya Siddhi Human in the ashram. It is Swamiji’s resolution that all the twelve commandments are to be understood by all of us.
Twelve great scholars, Kuppa Venkata Krishna Murthy, Vasudeva Deekshitulu, Kuppa Vishwanatha Sarma, Rani Subbaiha Deekshituu, Attili Venkata Ramana, Kuchibhatla Chandrasekhara Sarma, Betavolu Rama Brahmam and others who understood Sri Swamiji very closely have written commentary to the twelve commandments. The commandments appear to be small but the explanation is an ocean to go through. Sri Swamiji wishes us all to understand and implement the commandments in our life. This is the reason behind the book and all the scholars have served Sri Swamiji with devotion in writing this book. Let all the scholars be bestowed with the blessings of Pujya Sri Swamiji. Now Swamiji releases the book named ‘Jayalakshmi Matru Dwadasa Suktulu’.
We all came to know when Swamiji had revealed that Jayalakshmi Mata had initiated Swamiji with twelve commandments sixty years back in Jayalaksjmi Puram then called Bommeparti. We don’t know that what have been told to whom and when. Swamiji can declare them to be his words. But following the words of Veda, ‘Matru Devo Bhava’ means Mother is to respected, Swamiji have declared them to be His mother’s words.
Swamiji resolves, “These are the words initiated to me. I want you, my children, my devotees and my disciples to understand and implement those words. It is for your wellbeing. I always stay with you.” Swamiji is releasing the commentary on the twelve commandments on this auspicious Datta Jayanthi. Let us all pray at His holy feet to make it possible for this book to be released in all the languages.
Jaya Guru Datta!
