Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Sadgurubhyo Namo Namaha
Happy birthday Sri Appaji. In My life, there are many good days. In fact, every second is a good second. I was thinking and searching which is the most beautiful day of my life. Today I got the answer. Today is the most auspicious day in My life. Appaji has assigned me a job of writing the commentary on the 12 commandments of Sri Jayalakshmi Mata. I pray for Sri Appaji’s blessing and with that blessing, I will definitely try to write a book on the 12 commandments given by Sri Jayalakshmi Mata. Sri Swamiji wanted me to read out the 12 commandments now.
We celebrate our birthday by distributing chocolates or cutting cakes etc. In fact, we eat more that we distribute. Today Sri Swamiji has distributed us divine nectar. Sri Swamiji told us today the days we should remember after taking this human form. Incidents both good and bad happen in your life. We see these incidents as a passing phase in our lives. Among all such days, in these worlds, in these times who other than Sri Swamiji will remember mother so much. In a general sense when you ask anyone which one, is your best day? She/he would say marriage day. Maybe less number of people say it. Maybe for 1-2 years of marriage they say marriage days is their best day. After 10-15 years of marriage, they would say the marriage day is the most terrible day in their life. Sri Swamiji has given divine upadesha for all of us by saying that today is the best day for Him as Sri Jayalakshmi Mata gave the 12 commandments to Him.
Vedas extol the mantra “Matru Devo Bhava”. Sri Swamiji has practiced it and making all of us experience it. That is Sadguru. The 12 commandments are readout by Sri Bala Swamiji. Sri Swamiji has detailed these 12 commandments to extent of 12 lakh commandments. Sri Swamiji is practicing all these and making us practice them in actions. Sri Appaji has just told the special importance of the Nandana year. Sri Swamiji has not kept the 12 commandments given by Sri Jayalakshmi Mata to Himself. With a sankalpa that the 12 commandments should reach the devotees, at large Sri Swamiji is getting the commentary written on the 12 commandments.
Propagating the 12 commandments, further Sri Swamiji is starting a new program called “Nandana Musical Message Sayings”. In reality, Sri Swamiji is doing service to us and not vice versa. What service we do to Sri Swamiji is 0% and what service Sri Swamiji does to us is 100%. This is THE TRUTH. With an intention that all should focus and should practice them in actions, Sri Swamiji is starting to send the MMS to all of us. Sri Swamiji’s intention is not only elders but also children should benefit from Nandana MMS. To encourage all of us, Sri Swamiji is giving prizes to the winner of the Nandana MMS contest. Generally the prizes we give are small like watch or clothes etc but Sri Swamiji is giving car, site etc. The reason for such high-end prizes is the love of Sri Swamiji for those messages and the selfless affection on all of us. All of you see the messages, try to understand and put them into practice. Let us earn the energy to answer and pass the exam that will be conducted at the year-end. Once again, on all your behalf HAPPY BIRTHDAY SRI APPAJI.
Jaya Guru Datta
