SGS Posts
Any language you may choose. Or, choose all the languages and read the ones you are familiar with. It is not a burden for you. It will just remain on the Internet. Why the name SGS Posts? Because I worked as a postman for six months. The post conveys our sorrows to God. Postman transfers from one to another all quarrels, problems, and communications. Now Internet is the postman.
For two years Appaji dreamed of creating SGS Posts as our own Global App to benefit all Datta devotees. All Datta devotees, devotees of Hanuman and Mother Goddess, and all those associated with the ashram, those who believe in Swamiji, adore and worship him should subscribe to this. At least one crore devotees should be recipients of this. Not devotees only, all who follow Dharma. That is why it is available as an app. For Android and IPhone. Many big companies produce apps like this with a staff of 30-40. Here only a couple of IT persons have done this. To post this, to make this function properly, and reach devotees in so many languages, it takes 15-20 min daily for Swamiji to post all of them. He does not delegate the work to others. He does it Himself. College students and some Photoshop trained persons have been sent hundreds of quotes to work on.
One at a time, they prepare, get them checked for accuracy, and for easy understanding and appeal to a larger global audience.
With that in view, all of you please subscribe. To bear the cost, 250 members are contributing. Half of them are from the US. The others are from India and other countries. How are they paying for this? Do you have the opportunity to also participate? No. Face to face individual communication they have with Swamiji. Good morning, good night, my birthday, and other messages are exchanged. I do not reply to them every day. You should not feel bad that Swamiji is not responding individually. When the need arises, I speak directly to them, at the time of exam, marriage, foreign travel, and so on. Only the 250 persons are bearing the cost. Appaji gains nothing from this project. If they become devotees, and turn spiritual, and lead a better life, that is an ample reward for me.
Narada roams the whole universe, sowing the seed of the Narayana Mantra. Many rishis asked him why he does that, while appearing to be a trouble maker. Narada said I do this for universal welfare. When I chant ‘Narayana’, even the insects gain by listening to God’s name. I only wish to spread the glory of my Lord everywhere. Whatever bliss I experience, I want every living creature to share with me.
Now we do the Hanuman Chalisa chanting in every town. Who benefits? Those who propagate feel the satisfaction of helping Swamiji in His mission in some small way.
The 250 members send messages to Swamiji off and on. Some do not bother Swamiji on a daily basis. I do not use my rights just because I pay subscription, they say. I do not have to keep sending daily messages. This SGS Posts project has cost us in Indian rupees 60 lakhs. You will not believe this. At least for that reason, you all should read the messages and have your children read them. Use it on laptop, or mobile phone. Tell your friends to see the messages. You do not have to believe in our Swamiji, you tell them. You should persuade others. Do not despair that they are not Swamiji devotees. Swamiji wants one lakh devotees.
Appji members are now 250. With just one announcement, they all rushed to join. But I want only close devotees to be participants in supporting SGS Posts. There are some who always send sad messages. I block such devotees. Only share good happy messages. Some people complain that they did not know about this Appji membership. The members do not share the information with others. They are a private group, the Appji hosts who support SGS Posts.
MMS are viewed by 40,000 persons. We will stop that project gradually. Once this becomes a success, we will discontinue that. Many of you have not seen MMS. They are very nice. Some of those MMS will be posted on this also. The name of Rama can be chanted any number of times. Even if you have chanted before, you can chant again.
Swamiji’s quotes are also equally sweet and beneficial. The number of lives rescued, saved, and helped by these quotes is uncountable.
I have been waiting for this day very eagerly. My childish enthusiasm never fades. Like the parrots. Even the oldest parrot, ever remains young at heart. I also look for a new toy all the time. We first gave to a big company. But to have our secretaries there to follow up, was difficult.
Four persons are key to this project. Prasadi and Pramodi were constantly on this. Siva is another one. Swamiji was after them all the time. Shanta Kumar is another one. All four of you come and offer your prostrations. Swamiji has tormented them a lot. Indirectly, for Android, another person, Devi Prasad also struggled a lot. Come and receive Rakshas. Come and pose for a photograph. Even if you do not work, it is okay.
Jai Veera Hanuman pose
Nagamani garu also has given quotes. Come receive prasadam.
Rajeshwari and party have worked hard on this project. About nine or ten workers are directly involved in this project.
If Swamiji gives one smile, that is a huge prize for them. They expect nothing else.
