Speech of HH Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji during bhajan session – May 20, 2014 – UPH Mysore
Jaya Guru Datta
Yesterday we remembered a prayer from the story of Prahlada. Today let us remember another prayer from the Bhagavatam.
All the Vedas speak about Vaasudeva (Lord Krishna, the incarnation of Maha Vishnu). All yajnas and penance, all karmas are aimed at reaching Him. Everything ends in Him. All dharma is done for the sake of merging into Him. Every yajna, and karma emerges from Him and helps us to merge into Him. We may feel separate from Him. We may do things feeling that He is separate from us. But we are one with Him. Everything is from Him. Everything is done to reach Him. He is the way. He shows the way. Never try to escape from karma. Never blame Him for not guiding you or giving you the proper inspiration or guidance. Be ready to endure your karma.
Bhajan: Hari Hari bolo
Why this sudden surprise Bhajan session now? Just now in Kasi a branch of Avadhoota Datta Peetham is getting started. HV Prasad and others are at this moment performing abhishekam to Lord Kasi Viswanatha.
A new speaker system installed in this hall and Swamiji’s new hearing aid are also getting tested. Karna wore his kundalas (ear ornaments) visibly. Your Swamiji’s kundalas are concealed.
Let us sing the praises of Siva.
Bhajan: Sankaram Sankaram
Bhajan: Achyuta ananta
Kakada Arati
Sri Guru Datta
