Today on 9.12.2010 at the universal prayer hall (UPH) Sri swamiji our beloved sadgurudeva has addressed the devotees and gave the following message:
Time is a Gift, a true gift and we have to make use of this always and never waste time .We instead waste time and also sleep a lot and not make our body fit and healthy .Our best practices make us more disciplined .People sleep in afternoon is not a good habit and it is always better we sleep in the night for the body well being and we also get good sound sleep.
God’s divine gift to us is the breath and one inhalation and one exhalation itself is his gift and we need to make the best use of god’s gift .
We eat food to protect our body similarly for the soul/mind the most important aspect is always listen to SADGURUDEVA Pravachanam’s as these will make us more enlightened .This is the true sadhana one has to take up and spend time.
But the unfortunate thing is that human’s always waste most of the time in unwanted discussion’s Gossips and fighting with the people and misunderstanding.
Sri swamiji for the past week is in Mouna vrata and still has graced us to listen to the Skanda puranam and daily giving discouse for 2 hours and most of the people are missing the same as they are not in tune with what is happening in the Ashram and always sleep or waste time.
The actual plan designed was to go to South Africa but sri swamiji has cancelled the same and blessed us with Atirudra Yagam which is a rarest of rare gift to the DATTA BHAKTAS.
Sri Swamiji has graced us with enormously and is explaining the puranam in a special manner and donot miss this golden opportunity.
Sri Swamiji has taken most of the Worldly sufferings in this great cause and we humans do not understand how we are protected and shielded by his leela and is a tough thing for all of us to understand .The entire pain experienced by Sri Swamiji is the sufferings of all the devotees and in turn we do not understand this miracle .Sri Swamiji has saved many lives and also as we know many years ago too saved the children from a major accident and tool the pain on himself such is his leela and grace on the souls.
Never talk bad or have even a degree of suspicion on Sadgurudeva and all is his leela /play which we fail to understand .Even we get a doubt we need to punish the mind and stop such feelings and curb them .The reason why sri swamiji has asked all of the devotees to do japa and also prayers has a greater meaning and protects the one who is taking up such penance.
We need to punish our Indriyas so that we will be always alert and Sri swamji too has taken such task in his childhood too and got control on indriyas .
When we punish the indriyas it shall not cause inconvenience to our neighbours or others or our family members, silently they need to be punished and only we can control our indriyas.
One more important aspect Sri Swamiji delt was on Criticizing and questioning .As the word criticizing shall not arise In our mind leave the acts then and understand how bad this is to criticize others and knowing this itself is a great penance and is an art .So stop criticizing and always be happy. Questions like how why what also is not our cup of tea as each action has a plan .Sri Swamiji says living like this will make that soul exceptional from others and makes him closer to SADGURUDEVA.
Few days back I visited Bonsai gardens and NAKSHATRA gardens and is a great gift to all of you by sadgurudeva .All rare and precious and antic plants are available in this place and feeding them is very costly as the food (manure) for these plants have to come from Thailand and huge amounts have been spent on them .This is also my baby and I need to take care of them and it is also your duty to take up this task.
Sri Swamiji wished to have a Rudraksha plant but is a rare plant and is not available .The task of getting the same was bestowed to Mr.Dattatreya sarma who is a true devotee and he said he will get it and sri swamiji replied without that do not come to Ashrama .He left Mysore and thought in mind ,is an easy task and approached a garden in Himalayas and other places and put his best efforts and got some plants but he was obstructed by the railway authority to carry the plants in the train and book them in a Luggage van and he had to adhere to the rules and finally when he reached mysore they were of no use as the people already told him we are not at all responsible once we deliver them to you and no guarantee is given by them .The plants totally vanished and looking at this he felt sad and was asked to go back and this time make another effort .The plantation people thought he is doing some business but he finally convinced he is not of that nature and explained the real need of the plants and told our sadgurudeva name and they got convinced and gave him some plants .This time he brought the plants in an A/c compartment and all the way singing bhajans and japa and finally landed in Mysore ashram and was successful in his mission .
The Message for all of us is in the first instance his sankalpa was manava sankalpa and also filled with Ego (Ahamkara) but his second attempt is Sadguru sankalpa and the divine sadgurudeva grace.
Sri Swamiji is planning to make a Rudraksha vanam at our ashram site and all is his leela.
Sri Swamji said one should have enormous merit points (Punya ) to be with sadgurudeva. Like mother Yashoda later knew who Sri Krishna was and till then was engulfed with the maya of mother love only. Only sadgurudeva has the capacity to remove these layers and all is his leela’s.
God is very careful and conservative as he test’s his disciples and devotees and later grants boon to them and shows them the true path till then we all need to with stand to his leela and pray when we will be blessed.
Hence take this personal task to visit the bonsai gardens and Museum and pay the token amount as this goes to a good cause .I have brought ganapathi from Canada and may be today tommarrow or Dattajayanthi it will be in the gardens all depends on your luck.
Visit the garden and feel the divinity and get benefitted and stay healthy
Jayagurudatta
