Speech of HH Sri Datta Vijayananda Teertha Swamiji at SGS Krishna Yoga Mandiram - Nellore - November 3, 2012
On the 3rd november 2012 at 2:30 pm, Sri Datta Vijayananda Teertha Swamiji arrived at " SRI GANAPATI SACHIDANANDA KRISHNA YOGA MANDIRAM" , Nellore city, Andhra pradesh!
Earlier, local devotees requested both Appaji and Bala Swamiji to visit this Mandiram to complete the on going Lalitha Yaaga and Uma Maheshwari koti kumkumaarchana! But Sri Appaji was unable to visit at this time due to his pre-scheduled american tour! Nellore ashram and it's sincere devotees have been longing for Sri Appaji's darshan here for a very long time! Today on receiving and seeing Sri Bala Swamiji, these local devotees have felt little relaxed, convinced and very very happy as well!
At 7:15 in the evening Sri Bala swamiji went to the temples inside the asrama and offered his special prayers to all the deities! At 7:30 asrama trustees have honored , welcomed and begged Sri Bala Swamiji for his divine words!
Sri Bala Swamiji's speech starts with the chanting of Ashta lakshmi stuti!
Sri Bala Swamiji says:
All Sri Appaji's sincere disciples should practice to chant all four stotras (datta stava, ashta lakshmi stuti, sadguru stava and datta shodashi) of Datta peetham everyday! One should pray to Lord Surya narayana,every morning after waking from the sleep! Lord Surya is mitra! Universal friend! The one who protects us from all problems! The one who gives us good health!
The early morning prayers stabilize our breath and life!
Lord Shiva unlike monkey minded human beings, does not see marks or rabbit or any other negative gunas in The moon! He only sees the good qualities in chandra and always wears him on his head! In the same way Sadguru also finds only good things in his sishyas! Always forgives our faults and gives us buddhi with utmost compassion! Sadguru, unlike in the universities, gives us many many many chances to learn, experience, change and grow! He knows our inside and outside too! Still he gives us the chances to learn! If a failed student realizes his mistakes and learns from them surely he would pass next time with hard work and determination! Same way we should be able to utilize the chances we get from our guru and accomplish the purpose of life!
Through our breath thousands of Hamsas(swan) are flying away from our life account! We can control them only through sincere prayers and praanaayaama! Meditation gives us energy and budhhi!
Sri bala swamiji remembers the divine words of lord Sri Krishna in geeta……..
“To deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to re-establish principles of religion, I incarnate myself at every juncture of time.”
All problems should go away and pleasure should come to us just like pure water replaces polluted water in the river.
A true devotee should beg guru for his Anugraha and not for temporary materialistic things. Guru gives his blessings for good today and better tomorrow as well. He wants our future to be brighter. Guru supports and protects us just like a mother gives nutritious food to her child for his good health. Guru acts like a smart doctor, who knows how to attract the patient with his “No dieting formula” and still gets his patient to balance his diet with his appropriate medication. In the same way, sadguru knows how to discipline our way of living with his simplest “No direct hard conditions” formula. This beautiful life is given by sarva deva roopa Sadguru deva. we should utilize it. we should fulfill the cause behind our creation. To achieve that, the morning prayers are compulsory. Our spiritual sadhana balances our day. Every day we should recite Dattastavam, Astalakshi stotram, Sadgurustavam and data shodashi. These are the true essence of all our four Vedaas. They confer the prosperity, auspiciousness and bliss on us. If we try to understand the inner meaning of astalakshmi stotram “Ratha madhyaam asvapoorvam”- Our physical body is the chariot. Atma (soul) is the king, our indriyas(senses) are the ashvas(horses).with our pranayama saadhana we should invoke and strengthen our energy. After a long run when we feel like back turning the ratha(chariot) then,it is the self realization time. These stotras lead us to eternal protection and bliss.These stotras are fully filled with powerful energies of all deities.
We got the great opportunity to participate and witness the kunkuma archana, lalitha yagam and shiva kalyanam . Tomorrow we are going to offer the maha poornahuthi to lalitha yagam.let us invite everybody. This ritual is for everybody. Please get darshan of poornahuthi and get the full blessing of Lalitha maata.
On this December 26th pujya Appaji is going to insert the yantram and complete the prathishtapana of 70 feet karya siddhi hanuman at mysore ashram.
We want everybody to participate in Naamalekhana yagnam and write ‘OM NAMO HANUMATE NAHAHA’as many times as possible and send the books to mysore asrama before dec 20th.
May hanuman and sadguru bless you all.
Jaya Guru Datta
