Today with Nandana MMS advice people are very happy. The page got 14,000 likes. Everybody is happy with the quote. Telugu and other languages are also there in Nandana MMS messages. Bhagavatam’s essence is given in just a few words. In one minute you get Maha Bharatam essence. Now Nada is on Raga Sagara.
After 1 year of Nandana SGS MMS messages there will be a competition. You answer only 10 out of 20 questions. There will be a lottery from the pool of winning names. First prize is a house site near Mysore ashram. Second prize is rupees 1 lakh. There will be in all 13 prizes. Prize is not important. Your name will be in Swamiji’s hand. He will see who participated. Only those who participate are true devotees of Datta and Hanuman. Those who do not participate are ordinary bus stand friends. Not Swamiji’s family members. You must participate. In Nandana year Mother Jayalakshmi gave mantra and 12 commandments to Swamiji sixty years ago. If you read the Life History of Swamiji you will know. Nandana’ value is secret and sacred.
puttugam.org is our own website that 11,000 people daily are looking at. Your iPhones are trash if you don’t watch Nandana SGS MMS. If not for putting to good use why have IPhone, IPad and computer?
You must properly utilize. You love only Swamiji but not his words? If you love Rama, you must know Rama’s story. If you love Krishna, you must follow Krishna’s teachings. You say you are my fan? What fan? Ceiling fan? What is the use?
After retirement your eyes don’t work, your ears don’t work. Your senses don’t work. What do you know about Swamiji? If someone asks you, “Who is your guru?” you will answer, “He has a big beard, he gives concerts, he sings bhajans and he builds temples.” Is that all?
Why this life? What is the purpose? You came here to earn well. Dollars will come and stomach gets filled somehow. You are always begging. So many times you tied toram (the sacred prayer thread with 13 knots for Hanuman) with desire for 11 million dollars. You purchase the toram for 11 dollars. God knows your fate. He knows your needs. Let your prayers be selfless. Do you pray for guru darshan? If you pray for Guru Darshan, then you will be blessed with darshan of the guru. You don’t, so you do not get Guru darshan even in Mysore. “Ilalo, kalalo (on this earth as long as you live, even in your dreams) also you must pray that guru mantra is always in your mind, on your tongue. Do you pray like that? No. You waste your prayers, with big, big prayers for worldly things.
Why should Hanuman bless you with lottery money? Hanuman himself will keep lottery money and will tell you to keep your 11 dollars. Guru is like that. You don’t give money or service. Why should guru give you boons?
Listen to Nandana communications from Swamiji.
You are too busy to give service, you have no time. You have money but you do not like to give money. But Swamiji must give you boons. I too have no time. Why should I bless you? You say, “I have money but not to give you. I came driving for one hour.” So I am blessed that you drove one hour to come and see me. You came for you. Not for me. For your work you came.
Even for passport (visa) I wait for two hours in line to come see you in this cold weather.
Do you listen to my teaching?
No one was willing to say, “Rama Rama,” when Kabir offered even to be a servant in their homes or when he offered free buttermilk to them to drink in hot weather. Always saints have suffered like this. At 5 a.m. daily they were doing Nagara Sankeertan (singing God’s name in the city streets). It is an ancient practice. But only some follow. For others it is a disturbance because they go to sleep after late night movies and drinking. They get irritated to hear Rama’s name. They only like cinema actors and not saints. They will follow movies stars with frenzy. They only like cinema songs.
Have limits. Why does Swamiji say this? You must watch Nandana. I learned English because of you, the new generation. 30 persons struggled hard to create those videos. Sanskrit is easy. For me English pronunciation so difficult. Swamiji speaks child English heart to heart. Swamiji has nothing in his heart to hide. It is open. Listen to Swamiji’s music. Get good sleep. Bad words and praise, both I forget. I do not like to remember. Day to day I am happy no matter what.
You all had experiences with Swamiji. That is why you came. You have received invisible blessings. I love you all and I express my love to you but you cannot express your love for Swamiji. You cannot explain or show your love.
Once again I bless you. Already 6 months finished with Nandana SGS MMS. Do not disappoint me. Listen to the songs in the videos. It is not like any Ph.D but it is like a Ph.D. Nada yoga is for a Ph.D. for the younger generation.
Music therapy how many have attended? You are still under its vibrant influence. It is like a Kriya yoga practical experience. In 36 days 400 ragas Swamiji played. He was very happy. Swamiji was in Vaikuntha (heaven). Only from the balcony during Bala Swamiji’s Ramayana discourse Swamiji was giving darshan and speaking. Whether bhoga, roga or yoga body (prone to luxury, disease, or austerity), the vibrations worked and healed Swamiji. Swamiji was not in a condition to freely move because of swollen legs. Swamiji saw on Skype many devotees doing Japa praying for Swamiji’s health. In return I give back double blessings to devotees and their families. I tie a thoram for blessing everyone.
I spoke earlier about Nandana like that because – When a child falls and gets hurt, first the mother will scold and hit the child for being naughty. Then she will tend to the wound and take the child to the hospital. Is she a bad mother? Tell me. Out of sadness and concern only I spoke like that. Not to cause you pain. Please watch daily the Nandana SGS MMS videos on puttugam.org, vimeo.com or YouTube.com. Don’t miss. You must listen to Swamiji’s teachings and follow them. That is the way for you to express your love for Swamiji.
Sri Guru Datta
