Speech of HH Sri Datta Vijayananda Teertha Swamiji on Ugadi day – March 23, 2012 – Hyderabad
Happy Nandana Ugadi to all ! This new year’s name is Nandana. We find our Sadguru’s name Sachchidananda in the name of this year. This year joy, happiness, health, duration of life and knowledge will improve. Today is the day when Kaliyuga started. Everyday is special day but for devotees of Sadguru, the day they get Guru darshan is special. We wait for this day for Swamiji in Dundigal. Ugadi is the day to change the calendar and pray that, let not the sorrows of last calendar year continue, may new changes come, may we get the energy and power to fulfill the purpose that we are sent for by the Lord.
Nandana name also indicates ‘New’. Every time we look for something new. Ugadi is the day to change our Buddhi and start walking in the path shown by Sadguru. Ugadi is the day to follow the instructions of Sadguru. Ugadi is the day when Guru determines to sacrifice His life to raise His disciples to His level. Sun, moon, Earth, Sunrise everything is normal. But Ugadi is the day to pray for new energy. We are waiting for Guru darshan. You all are waiting for Sri Swamiji’s message. Swamiji has sent a recorded message. We will also listen to the new Ugadi song written by Swamiji.
From tomorrow, Rama Taraka Homa, Shata Shloki Ramayana, Hanuman Chalisa and Hanuman mantra parayana will go on till Sri Rama Navami day here in Hyderabad ashram. You all must participate. Nothing can beat mantra shakti. Mantra samarpana and social activities are the real offerings to Sadguru. Pray for Sadguru’s health and offer mantra japa at His feet. Exams are going on for children. Pray to Marakata Hanuman for their success. May Sadguru’s blessings be on all. OM Namo Hanumate Namaha !
