Speech of HH Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji during Guru Purnima Celebration – July 21, 2013 – Chicago, USA
Hariom Tatsat !
There are so many book releases now but it is already late. You finished bhajan already and bhojan is ready. Today evening special bhajans, before that we continue this program. Go take prasadam and come back again. Program will go on here. There is special program. Birds program. Many people are returning back to their places. They have to take a long drive. Let those people come first to have darshan.
Many people learnt Guru Gita by heart. I’m so happy. Now many people are realising its importance. Lord Siva gave this to mother goddess. It is very easy to learn. Keep listening for 40 days. If you listen, after 40 days, definetely you can learn. Also there is an app of Guru Gita for Android and i-phones. You can download. In Vimeo also there are so many views for the Guru Gita video. Go and search there. You can learn by that also. Amongst all gitas, Guru Gita is very important. It is very important than all Upanishads. All acharyas told this. Every day those who chant Guru Gita will be away from fickleness. Devotion should be like ‘Taila Dhara’ – uninterrupted flow like the flow of oil.
Today’s Swamiji’s special advise is to download and listen Guru Gita everyday before sleeping. It is only for 30 mins. You have your ipad, laptop, Android phones, Nokia etc. You can download. I will be very happy. When Swamiji is in samadhi state in dhyana, boys chant Guru Gita. It is a great mantra. Slowly they chant and mix music also. You can ask Jaitra and Mani. They will explain about this mantra. Swamiji gave such a powerful mantra to you, People ask for visa, promotion, children, new house and so many questions. You go ahead and chant once Guru Gita and once Hanuman Chalisa. These two are enough for you for all your desires. One is Guru Gita app and other is Hanuman Chalisa. If you want more Gnana, then listen to Shata Sloki Ramayana. These three are my recommendation. No fourth one required. If you want fourth once, then Kavacha Manjari is there and Bhajana Mala. There are more beejaksharas and energy in bhajans. Every raga, pallavi, anu pallavi and charana gives lot of energy. It is a very special technique. Beginning from pallavi itself is a grip to bhajan till the end. There are 4 lines bhajan, 8 lines bajan and like wise. There are three thousand to four thousand bhajans. Each bhajan is a beejakshara.
Some are Mani Pravala bhajans. It means it is not specified to any language. Not sanskrit, not Telugu, not Hindi or any language. Tyagaraja gave two Manipravala bhajnas. If you sing Amba Bhavani, it is a Mani Pravala bhajan. You will think this is my language. someone else also thinks it is his language. Like wise we have Krishnam Vishnum. Yesterday night in Nada Nidhi concert there was Saptaswarudam. bhajan, which is also very powerful.
Guru Gita and Shatasloki and also my Hanumanta.. Oh.. Did I say me Hanumanta ? Anyways.. my Hanumanta and me Hanumanta. Om Namo Hanumate Namaha… it is also very nice. Just 6-7 minutes with a video. 130 million times it was viewed. It is still going on. It doesnt stop. Hanuman Hoffman is not stopping.I told him to switch to another mantra. He said he will do that also but Hanuman mantra he will not stop. such a mantra is Hanumanta mantra. In Dallas we are going to have a big temple. Go to their website and Newsletter. Many knows about Dallas. Last year also we performed many functions. Last week we had ground breaking ceremony there. Temple is coming. Emerald Hanuman idol is already there in Guru Nilayam. You will feel that Hanumanta is Ialking to you. So much of power. it is not even polished. it is just brought as it is, as given by the sculptor. You go and see. If that idol doesnt speak to you, then come and tell me. Hanuman there says, what do you want gentleman ? You go and see. Then you will understand. Marakata Anjaneya Swamy already came to Dallas. Mysore Anjaneya also. Dallas Anjaneya is talking. But Mysore Anjaneya just falls on us. This is Mysore Hanuman Saligrama. (Swamiji displays it) This is Mysore Hanuman earth to be placed under the Hanuman idol. Dallas President may come and receive this.
Jaya Guru Datta !
