Speech of HH Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji during the Inaugural Session of 3rd Gna Na Bha Yoga Conference – March 26, 2009 – Hyderabad
Jaya Guru Datta !
Till now Swami Chidatmananda has spoken on Gnana referring to Kshetra – Kshetragna Vibhaga Yoga in Bhagavat Gita. It is like Dattatreya sprinkling hand full of water from Amrutha Samudra – the ocean of nectar. Swami Chidatmananda sprinkled drops of nectar from the Gita Samudra ( Bhagavat Gita).
The depth of Gnana cannot be narrated. It is very vast. These kind of Gnana sessions were happenning in DattaPeetham from past many decades. We now streamlined a process and gave a title to it called “Gna Na Bha Yoga Sammelan”. This session started on this last day of Sarvadhari year and is continuing in Virodhi year So today we are celebrating two occassions. One is the sendoff for Sarvadhari and the other is the welcome for Virodhi. It is like a farewell party in a college. We must have had many experiences in this year. We need to recollect all these and learn a lesson out of it. You can welcome a year for 364 days but farewell happens only one day. We are sending off this year with Gnana. Gnana will never fade away. This is a permanent lesson for all of you.
Many people are afraid by the term of Gnana. Gnana Marga (path) is very easy. Atma Gnana is very very easy and more over it is white in color and sweet.(Swamiji means it is clear and pleasant). Spiritual lessons are very easy so we need not worry about them. Music may be difficult but not Gnana. It is difficult to learn the swaras and the notes in music. But Gnana is simpler. There is no other education in this world which is easier than this. We have been listening to Katha Sagara in Gemini TV for many years and it is still continuing. This is the best example of how simple and easy Gnana is, else this program would not continue even after so many years. Swamiji has been explaining Atma Tatva in simple and short stories.Nothing can be simpler than this.
On this last day of Sarvadhari, I bless all of you with Good Health, Wealth of Gnana and Guru Seva. May the coming year bring prosperity to all of you.
Jaya Guru Datta !
Sri Guru Datta !
