Speeches by HH Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji – November 15 at Hanuman Dwarka Mandir, 2013 – Delhi
Morning
Jaya Guru Datta
Victory to Truth, Dharma, Vedas, and the Upanishads.
Today is very precious. I am very happy. Each house, street, village should have a temple. That is the resolve of Rama, to be fulfilled by Hanuman. Hanuman is Siva’ s form. He wished to serve Vishnu. Always He likes to serve. In Krishna’ incarnation, Lord Shiva had darshan of child Krishna. Both Siva and Vishnu are one God. It is a sin to consider the as being different. As per different tastes different forms and names have evolved of the one and same God.
You have good experience with Appaji. Different devotees have different experiences. The first look is the best look. It is indescribable. Each devotee sees Swamiji in a different form. Each has a different relationship. Experiences occur in dreams also. He appears as mother, father, guru, Hanuman, and so on. He is only one Swamiji. He tunes Himself differently to suit different devotees. He gives opportunities to serve and worship in different ways, as devotee, brother, wife, no problem. Each bird of the hundreds of Swamiji’s birds views Him and treats Him differently. One feeds Him, one bites Him, one cuddles with Him, one scratches Him. Each devotee’s experience is different and cannot be explained in words. Each feels a different attraction. Maybe He is Rama, Krishna, Nada. The secret is Swamiji’s Property. It is beyond explanation. It is only to be experienced.. You cannot describe the taste of honey. You have to taste it.
Just follow Swamiji’s instruction. Chant the mantra given by Him with love. Do it as a duty. Chant the Hanuman mantra. I am shedding tears of joy today. A small temple. A small program performed on a most auspicious day in the month of Kartik. Consecration of Hanuman, Siva Linga, Nava Grahas, Ganapati, and Dattatreya has taken place.. The Dwadashi (12th lunar day) day that grant liberation is today’s auspicious day and time.
Now it is a transition time, the approach of a different stage in Kali Yuga. Some calamities may occur, in nature, and in human minds. If we pray to Hanuman we will protect us from the disturbances. He is the future Brahma. We are very lucky. We pray for a bright future. Jaya Guru Datta
Another ashram is there in Saroop Nagar. It is far but very powerful. Please support that ashram and this ashram also. Participate in Saswata Seva, permanent support program. If you are miserly then Swamiji also will be miserly in granting boons. Give wholeheartedly. Full meals should be served with a full heart.
Chant loudly the Hanuman mantra.
Tvamasmin karya niryoge
Pramanam Hari Sattama
Hanuman Yatna Masthaya
Duhkha ksaya Karo Bhava
In Ramayana, in Sundara Kanda this mantra occurs. Rama gave two commands to Hanuman, one authoritative, and one humble. Rama is always modest and humble. When someone requests humbly, it gets done. Rama said, I am in grief, Hanuman. I don’t know the whereabouts of Sita. Jeevatma and Paramatma have been separated. I want them to be re-united. It is not a male and female relationship. Hanuman is Vayu, Air. He can bring the two together. Hanuman, you alone are capable of removing my sorrow. Mission should be accomplished. Creation and Dissolution are both in Hanuman’s control. Jeevatman by itself is unhappy. Please search for Sita. She is my Paramatma. Man is suffering in this world because of this separation. You put in the effort, Hanuman, you can only destroy my misery.
Hanuman crossed the ocean, saw Sita who was captured and placed in captivity by Ravana. This Sita is an illusory Sita, not the real Sita. Sita is also waiting for her Paramatma. Paramatma has no name or form. I want to unite with Paramatma, were the words used by both Rama and Sita. Only when the soul and intellect unite, only then, the Supreme Soul can be experienced. When there is disharmony between mind, intellect, and the sense organs, there is sorrow. The three should be in unison, thought, word, and action. Both Rama and Sita uttered the identical mantra, addressing Hanuman. Hanuman is breath, inhalation and exhalation. Control your breath. That is the advice given by all the sages. Breath control grants the welfare of both mind and body. I am only air, that cannot be seen or captured. You are in ignorance, in sleep state. To help you I have taken a form. There is no color or gender for air or for soul. Sound and light are it’s forms. Fire, water, and all five elements are represented by Hanuman.
Sri Guru Datta
Evening during bhajan session
Jaya Guru Datta
Om Namo Hanumate Namaha – chanting
Gam Ganapataye Namaha
Bhajan – Jai Jai Ganapati
Today it is the day of consecration of the new Hanuman. He is the future Brahma in this Kali Yuga who will give complete protection. He manifests the way he is visualized. The way you love the name of Rama, like that he gives darshan when you remember his name. He is Vayu, air or life energy or fame. He is mentioned in the Bhagavatam and other scriptures. He is immortal and appear at all times. He serves Lord Dattatreya. He is seen in the old temples, occupying at least a small corner. He comes of himself. He is complete and whole. Hanuman makes the grasping of Vedanta philosophy very easy. One theory says, truth, truth, another says, not this, all is false. How to understand this madness? How to study this properly? Suddenly from illusion, mirror, reflection, truth, the interpretation changes.
When you fully focus, through Sadguru when you receive the instruction, it becomes easy to follow. In Europe for about 5 thousand devotees, for 3 days Swamiji conducted a session in Silence. The first day it was extremely difficult to silence the mind. Pain, hunger, distractions. The first hour was most tough. Swamiji was sitting like a stone. The devotees were in pain in every limb. Every hour it improved, and after four hours they all forgot this world. The second day it was beautiful to receive Swamiji’s vibrations. Third day, people begged Swamiji to continue for 3 more days. Again in Germany we want, they said, after Switzerland. No singing, no discourse, no eating or drinking. Such an experience do you want? India people are chatterboxes. Without such a rhythm you die. Do you want? You need coffee, tea, and going to bathroom. Why do our people need it? For one second in your life can you remain silent? Perhaps after a thousand years. Are you not ashamed about speaking all the time, creating that need to talk, even if it is with a mad dog. It may even bite or run away. For one second can you remain silent? You will at least irritate a dog and talk about it. You even talk in dreams and while sleeping.
Unless you practice silence, you cannot attain liberation through Vedanta even in a hundred lifetimes. You must practice. Otherwise it creates too much of confusion. You will understand Vedanta. You will understand who you are. The answer to, Why this human birth? Who is this friend, this husband? Why this body, why this occupation, how long? All answers will come through the practice if silence. It is a sin to not practice. Silencing the tongue is not enough. Silence the mind. Listen to music, to Swamiji’s bhajans. Both internal and external silence will be attained. After all 14 worlds became silent, new creation emerged. With beautiful mind you will experience, if you practice inside and outside silence for one hour daily. In 15 days your body will be beautifully healed. All pains vanish. Then you become Brahma. You tell me the result of your experience over the phone after you practice this. You yourself prepare the nectar within yourself through silence.
Mother Sita is Mahalakshmi, Mahakali, and Mahadurgi. I will now sing about Bhagavati.
Bhajan – Sakaladhara roopini tum
I don’t know when it was predetermined that through this devotional singing here all this dust should get sanctified. The dust of devotees’ feet.
Bhajan – Sankaram Sankaram
Rama RamaRama RamaRama Rama – chanting
Bhajan – Ramam shyamala meghakomala ruchim
Rama is beautiful as the full moon. He enchants the universe.
Bhajan – Hey Hanuman
Gist: O Hanuman, the mighty, the treasure house of devotion, knowledge, and detachment. You are famous for destroying difficulties. You are ever at Rama’ door. Those who approach you never return empty-handed. You strengthen the weak. Instantaneously you rescue from disasters. Those who sing your praises are spared from calamities. You make easy, all the tough tasks. You remove the sorrows of devotees. Please bless us with light and removing the darkness, help us us cross this ocean of worldliness. Please eradicate my ignorance, O merciful one, lead me to liberation.
Hanumanta balavanta – chanting
Bhajan – Hanumanta balavanta chalavanta ya savanna
Gist: descriptions of Lord Hanuman. With a swollen jaw, strong, famous, virtuous, always victorious, ever with auspicious thoughts, radiant, king of monkeys, lord of the universe, leader of Rama, destroyer of the wicked, Rama’s servant, ever victorious, valiant, majestic, courageous in battle, essence of bliss, merciful, most saintly, with five faces, bright rays emerging from the face, residing at Gandhamadana, form of the universe, riding on a camel, with extraordinary eyes, child of Anjana, happy, praised by the gods, Vayu’s son, destroying fear, granter of Sat, Chit, and Ananda.
Tvameva mata …you are mother, father, relative, friend, knowledge, wealth, you are everything. May all be safe, healthy, happy and well.
My Parrots is a very nice book, how helpful for humans the parrots are, how beneficial their vibrations are, it explains. Easy English. The pictures speak to you. Those who have not yet acquired, please get this book right now. It will not be reprinted. You have so many dirty novels and detective stories. If you do not purchase on your own , do not make me go to the bookstall and personally place the book on your head and collect money. Give as gifts. Simply take a CD, listen to it, take this book, read it, and tell me your experience tomorrow. Take for yourselves and also take to give as gifts for any occasions. All the proceeds will go to the school for children who are underprivileged in speech and hearing. My Parrots is like a delicious dessert. Go to YouTube SGS Birds channel and listen to parrots chanting Rama, Datta, and conures that rarely speak, speak now, with a Swamiji. They are not talking birds. Watch the birds call out, Swamiji, Thathaji. They speak from the heart. You speak from the lips. One video where a parrot chants Hanuma, has been viewed five Lakhs of times. Many of you do not get Internet or YouTube. We will rectify that.
Sri Guru Datta
