Speech of HH Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji – December 30, 2011 – Dallas TX USA
Jaya Guru Datta
"Dharma is not a religion. It is only good actions. Ramayana is not a story. It looks like it only. Go deeper. Ramayana is like our body, yoga, and breath. Study it repeatedly. Then you feel like learning all the mantras, all 24,000 of them. Each is our life history. It teaches us as to how to behave in different relationships and also how to serve. So many people like the Ramayana.
InBali,Indonesiathey play different shows of the Ramayana. Swamiji simply did not decide about promoting this Shatashloki Ramayana. He had a good experience, especially with Shatashloki Ramayana. Swamiji is very happy with the success of the viewing of the video throughout out the world. So many countries, even non-devotees are viewing. Many are watching out of curiosity also because of the number of views. The good vibrations are filling up the hole in the ozone layer. It is giving good energy. The energy lasts not only for 40 years but forty years multiplied infinite times. Hanuman is happy with this Ramayana Mantra. The computes are running, running. The energy is flowing; balancing the energies in the atmosphere. Global warming is not the correct word. It is a foolish phrase. But another word people do not accept. People are afraid that this world will finish one day. Why be afraid? Again and again creation occurs. We take birth also many times. View the Shatashloki Ramayana many times. What is the benefit? What is the insurance? Only prayers are our insurance. Do as much as possible. Do service to humanity. All are brothers and sisters.
Rama also left his body. Rama ruled for 11,000 years.Krishnalived only for 150 years according to Swamiji’s calculation. Kartaveeryarjuna lived also for 10,000 years. Pingala Naga lived for 15,000 years and got fed up with his old body. He wanted to go back, tired of the old body. The soul wants to change and get new bodies.
Old bicycle we change to new. Old television we exchange for new. Old house we change for new house. We always want new things. Today puliyogare is good. Same puliyogare tomorrow will taste different; different bad taste.
Shatashloki Ramayana is yoga; Ramayana yoga. Human always likes these prayers. He needs to be praised. Only then he remembers his powers. That is a curse or a boon. There are no new mantras. There are no different breaths; only one way to breathe; the natural way. It is Creation. For 40 years I am breathing through this same nose. Today my breath I want to take from the ear. Okay, cement it. What happens? Will you live? No, you get your ticket to go. In meditation or in doing good service, there is nothing new. No. You cannot change Rama and change to Yama. You can't change prayer or breath or dharma. Attitude may change, but not originality. Only decoration and colors can change. Sugar is the same in all desserts. Sweet is the same.
At Krishna Janmashtami and Ganapati festivals we make different varieties of dishes. Some are spicy also. Too much laddoo will give sugar complaint.
Shatashloki Ramayana teaches. Good things will happen. It protects. AfterDelhiconcert an earthquake came within a few hours. Even earthquakes can be controlled by viewing the Shatashloki Ramayana. Swamiji himself has experienced it. Everybody ran out when the earth shook. Swamiji was listening to the Shatashloki Ramayana on his IPad. He also stepped out of the building with it. The iPad SSR kept playing. It continued. Also on IPhones.
No one was afraid. They were happy. Everyone. While dying you always grab your purse, your gold, or some pickle. Otherwise how to eat the government food in a shelter? If you go to Vaikuntha you will offer pickles there also to Narada. He will be surprised. Breath also is pickle for Andhras; pickles, rice, coffee. That is all that is needed. A tall tumbler of coffee; a mat for sleeping; hot water bath. Food adjustment is not possible.
Bottles of pickles they find, when the customs officers open the bags. The officer refuses your gifts. He sneezes for hours. Swamiji has experienced. Not his boxes; only vibhooti in his boxes. We are watching well the videos. Try to be in the top ten. How? Use two or 3 laptops. Use strategy. You can do it. What benefit do you get? Names in the new Hanuman temple will be inscribed in stone with gold paint. It is a Vratam; deeksha. Even if you don't listen God protects you. Some people are too clever and argue, why play if I don't listen?
Why play if we won't get merit. Your duty is to play; house members will also get benefit. Oh no. We are not devotees. We don't believe. Still God protects you whether or not you believe. Definitely he protects. We are all his children. He does not argue like this. Childish ignorant talk; mistakes. He excuses. He protects. He does not argue. Swamiji says “Do.” You do it. Shut your mouth and do it.
Such storms in theNew Yorkarea. They kept playing the Shatashloki Ramayana. They escaped damage. A Swamiji devotee inJapanwas saved by playing SSR; all his colleagues were saved also simply for listening. They said there is energy in it. They felt it. I was then inAustralia. He got me on the telephone. With difficulty. He was sitting under a table. Whole building was shaking. He just surrendered. Swamiji told him, you will live, don't worry. He then came toIndia. I did sacred thread ceremony for him. InNew Zealandalso a devotee was saved. You need Wi-Fi to play the videos.
So many countries watch; very interesting statistics daily on vimeo.com. IncludingPakistan,Yemen, so many different countries are playing this video. First place isUSA; secondIndia.
Tomorrow a very serious and precious program. Jan 1st also. Swamiji’s mind is inVijayawada. I cannot go in two days. I came for X-mas. I stayed back."
