Speech of HH Sri Datta Vijayananda Teertha Swamiji, September 20, 2013 - Akiveedu
Om namo hanumathe namaha . After completing the 10th chaturmasya deeksha in eluru, as part of seemollanghana , I visited bhimavaram. If that also is considered as part of Chaturmasya, then the first kshetra darshan after chaturmasya is Akiveedu. I pray the almighty to bestow happiness and health on all those who see me ( who have my darshan) and whom I see. Just like prahlada who requested Lord Vishnu to keep all people in his kingdom at peace and happiness, I too pray like that only.
The activities at eluru are so many that I can not mention them now. Special mention should be made of Anna Danam and Medical Camps, dharma yatra - visits to various temples and service activities in Local harijanawadas. Akiveedu is blessed to have me here today as it is the beginning of Lunar Fortnight called Mahalaya. Every day when we sleep, we get unified in Paramatma (layam) but immediately we are back to this mundane world as we wake up. But once the Almighty lord decides then it is a permanent Unification. For all those who could not for various reasons reach the Almighty even after they breath their last - Lord Parameshwara takes them all into His fold during this Fortnight.
As Akiveedu people contributed and performed Swamy Narahari Teertha Aradhana and that the Manatapam of Mata Jayalakshmi is completed now, I thought I should visit This Kshetram. Thats why I am here today. Also the desires of all those who spend a night here near Amma's Brindavanam will definitely be fulfilled. I feel that energy here.
As requested by Sri Krishna murthy, I will definitely consider undertaking Chaturmasya vrata deeksha here in future. We have a very big waiting list and I have my promises to keep. So keep doing good activities and social service so that your prayer is answered at the earliest. I advise you all to beg Sri Swamji for a saptaham .
All of you should always continue to do Datta Bhiksha Seva. Even the smallest seva that we do - counts a lot in the long run. All the datta bhimsha grains will be used for annadanam. It gives a lot of positive results. Complete all the pending projects so that Swamiji will consider doing a saptaham here. Keep doing nama sankeerthana.
Sri Guru Datta.
Speech of HH Sri Datta Vijayananda Teertha Swamiji, September 20, 2013 - Gandigunta Ashrama
Om Namo Hanumathe Namaha.
The heavy rains that we saw till now are a result of The chaturmasya Vrata Deeksha. Its Sadguru's Anugraha Varsha - rain of Sadguru kripa. As I entered the ashram - I felt like doing a Rama Katha saptaham here. The request of Sri Subbarao and his co committee members and members of Matrumandali have for long been requesting for a saptaham. Even now Sri Subbarao reiterated their request. I am positive about this and hope for the best.
Today I am here as you all planned to distribute free clothes to school children. I am giving you a small hint - dont invite swamiji just to visit the ashram. Always keep doing some service activity and invite Sri Swamiji. Sri Swamiji will definitely conceed to your request.
This Human Birth is a great boon. Do not waste it. You are all given this birth by Lord Almighty to help others- to follow sadguru - to tread the path of Dharma. Please do not waste it.
Anger is ones worst enemy. Please do not get angry in any case. Be patient enough. All our prayers will be answered as patience is the greatest penance. Keep meditating and practice yoga. As told by geethacharya - Lord Sri Krishna, we all should do acts that appease Sadgurudeva. Deposit all your positive karmas in the bank called Sadguru. While doing service / karma - forget about the society - concentrate on the good work you are doing - you are neither the doer nor the does. Practice this and you will win Sadguru's grace. Soon I will do a Rama Katha saptaham here as is requested by you all. It is a promise and you all should work unitedly for the ashram. Service activities should always continue.
I pray Lord Almighty to bless this universe with peace, happiness in abundance. I feel that as againt the usual Anjaneya temple - I propose a navaavatara Hanuman Temple. On behalf of all of you - I too will pray Sadgurudeva. As time is short and I have a long way to go , lets conclude here.
Jaya Guru Datta.
