Ya Devi Sarvabhuteshu, Matru rupena Samsthita, Namastasyayee, Namastasyayee, Namastasyayee Namoh Namaha !
Today, is a very auspicius day. Many occasions came together. Each diety has a specific day meant for them. Today is friday. Lord Venkateshwara likes Friday. We performed Abhishekam to our Datta Venkateshwara Swamy in the morning. The state of TamilNadu celebrates Adi Kruthika today. We did Kavadi Seva and abhisheka to Marakata Subrahmanya Swamy in the morning. Today is ashtami thithi also. Last night we celebrated Krishna ashtami in the divine presence of Sadgurudeva. Ashtami is still there today also. So we can consider today also as Krishna Janmashtami. Mother Goddess Durga also likes Ashtami thithi. We worshipped Her also in the form of fire with her favourite mantras of Durga Saptasathi and Chandi Saptasathi. Who ever has Chandi homa darshana and listen to these mantras, She destroys all their sins done knowingly and unknowingly also and gives Sadguru blessings in abundance. May you all have her blessings. Ashram pandits have done the Homa with utmost dedication. Tomorrow, the last saturday of Shravana month, we are going to perform Kalyanotsava to Sri Datta Venkateshwara Swamy. All this is not a coincidence but is Guru Sankalpam and Daiva Sankalpam. Our plans are very small and we often fail in them. But Mother Goddess’s plans are always smooth. May you all have her blessings and Sadguru’s blessings !
Jaya Guru Datta !
