Speech of HH Sri Datta Vijayananda Teertha Swamiji – Boat ride in the morning – April 7, 2015 – Australia

Jaya Guru Datta

(Sri Bala Swamiji shares feelings about yesterday’s concert:)

What Sri Swamiji has called a Dream Concert became a Draam (Datta mantra syllable) Concert for us. Datta And Ram together. We traveled 30 yrs. back or 25 yrs. back in time, listening to those old ragas. These days we hear all new ragas. We must thank all the musicians. It was L. Subramaniam who requested Swamiji to play some of the old ragas. Subhapantuvarali is my favorite. Ragas like Sindhu Bhairavi, when you listen to, it is difficult to control sleep. It was truly a Celestial concert. Many have expressed this sentiment.

Live webcast on YouTube with nine camera mixing was first in Datta Peetham history. Note it in your diary. DYC Australia has done a wonderful job. Master of Ceremonies Roy and the representative from the Guinness Records spoke very well. Their thoughts were very nicely expressed. The Award was a surprise. Now Jayaraman from Chennai says Swamiji will perhaps break a record for the number of Guinness records set.

It is a special occasion today to travel with Swamiji in his boat. Especially Manjunath, Lakshmi, Hari, Srikanth, Naveen, Neena and others who have worked tirelessly, have done a superb job. They requested Swamiji for this concert. Swamiji accepted. We request Swamiji to bless us with these type of concerts regularly.
