Speech of HH Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji during Volunteer parade - June 2, 2012 - Mysore
Jaya Guru Datta !
Sri Guru Datta !
Don’t forget this mantra. We have a very famous online group called ‘SriGuruDatta’ ! This group holds about 30000 people who joined very silently. They exchange their thoughts and opinions and their experiences with Appaji and share good speeches. In the beginning it was jaigurudatta group. Now it is changed to Sri Guru Datta. It is very old group. I don’t want to call it a group. I call that devotional group. If you go and see you will understand what their experience is. Sometimes they quarrel about their experiences. Question & Answers posted here are very interesting. This group leads everyone from darkness to light. I am not giving any instructions and speeches to it. It is going by itself. They select Swamiji’s speeches and activities and Question & Answers and post them. Very interesting group ! Go and join that group. I don’t want to call that as a group, but saying so just to address it. Similar to this, Narayana Rao started volunteer group. There were only four volunteers in the beginning. Few years back, we had a good concert in Ravindra bharathi in Hyderabad. Police asked us if we had any volunteers’ corp. I said we have four volunteers. Yesterday Karnataka Police Commissioner came here and he also asked about volunteers. I said we have 2000 volunteers throughout India. Some places only 2 or 3 and some places in hundreds. He was very happy. He said my police force is not necessary. But anyway he sent some police because they wanted some seva. I said send only traffic police. That is only like a decoration. They also are good devotees. Volunteers are well trained and have high devotion towards Swamiji. I have given only one gift to them that is volunteer camp at different places. That is a great gift to them. Slowly Narayana Rao group has build up in strength. This is not a company. Be careful.
You must know what this is. It is a registered trust. I am looking after this trust. I’m giving instructions to it. I gave donations for its funding. Suddenly Aiyappan came and started funding 100% for its activities. He is like father for Volunteers. Even when in USA or Singapore, he enquires. I said I will show some videos. We have not only service people here, not only annadanam is being done, not only they do surround Swamiji, these volunteers are serving humanity with free hospitals and free medical camps. Please watch the documentary on it. SDHS is not a company. It is a seva trust. It is a service oriented trust. You also join and give some kind advises and do some seva. We welcome you. But don’t discuss about this organisation. It is swamiji’s organisation. We have volunteers from Andhra, Madras, Malaysia and many different places. Some places like Surat, we have only 2 or 3 volunteers. We need to extend support and expand these weak centres because we need volunteers for Swamiji’s visit in those areas also.
Never say why we need volunteers. It is Swamiji’s Sankalpam to have them. I didn’t come here to change my tatva. You must change from me. We will correct if there are any mistakes but we don’t change our theory altogether. You must take Swamiji’s advice. I came to this world as per the instructions of Jaya Lakshmi Mata. I will do whatever is instructed to me by Her. Mahatmas work fearlessly. Mahatma Gandhi continued his mission. Swami Dayananda Saraswati continued. Shiridi Sai Baba worked hard for His mission. If the purpose of my incarnation is disturbed, I will haunt them for their seven births. Be careful.
Don’t give advices to Swamiji. That is not good. Yesterday I told about jealousy. So many people asked Swamiji to establish some educational institutions because other Swamijis are doing it. That is not my business. I’m capable of doing it but I don’t want to. My devotees are sufficient to run such institutions. You don’t need me for that. My incarnation is for a different purpose. My students are different. My work is different. No one can do what I’m doing. As my devotees, you build schools and colleges. My devotees can do that. Am I right Aiyappan ? (Swamiji questions Sri Aiyappan)
I do not have jealousy. I encourage everyone to do seva. It is not possible that Swamiji alone should do everything. Everyone should do their own duties. Narayana Rao does his work. He cannot do Prasad’s work. It is not possible also. In the last Andhra tour, we visited 40 different places. 20 Kumbhabhishekams were done. We needed so many volunteers. How much ever the government authorities help, we should do our own work. Volunteers rendered their service with utmost devotion. They kept the entire place clean and tidy with an intention that Swamiji should not catch infection. They did it out of love towards Swamiji. I felt so happy. I should not praise them but their lives are fulfilled. Mistakes do happen. Because you are human beings. You cannot be perfect like Swamiji. You must adjust. You must see that program is not interrupted. Minute mistakes I adjust. Swamiji has thousands of eyes. He is Sahasraksha. Be careful. You are being watched.
This year many volunteers came. All activities are co-ordinated wonderfully. Don’t feel jealous. Do whatever is assigned to you. Work towards increasing volunteer strength in every place. It should not be like volunteers from Hyderabad need to be called everywhere. They can be called in case of emergency but not for every program. This is not good. Every centre should develop. Again, see that jealousy doesn’t peep in. Happy 70th Birthday to all ! This year Aiyappan is here. I’m happy. Every year annual report is being submitted. Swamiji is monitoring everything. The needy are being helped. We are doing Jana seva. Continue to do it. Jaya Guru Datta !
