Bhajan: Pahi Pahi
If you invite 100 people to lunch, even if only 3 come, you prepare and eat the meal on time. Eat moderately. You do not give up eating. Even if a thousand people do not bathe, you do not give up bathing. If you do, you smell bad. Even if one lakh people do not give charity, you give. Swamiji did some fund raising yesterday in Delhi. Devotees from everywhere in the world participated and contributed. Even if one crore people are against singing ***’s names, you do not give up. You do it. It is more important than eating, bathing, and giving to charity. In Kali Yuga nothing is better than Nama Sankeertana. Do japa chanting mantras or do chanting of Hanuman Chalisa, or do Pranayama with mantra. Nama Sankeertana brings one closer to Sadguru.
Bhajan: Ambeyinta
Who is higher than Mother Goddess? We say of all gods like that, but all other gods depend on the energy of Mother Goddess.
Bhajans: Dattatreya atreyaputra, Srinivasa Govinda, Jyotirlingakara, Hanuman Chalisa, Anjaneya gativi
Happy Deepavali to everyone. Swamiji will arrive in Bengaluru tomorrow and he returns on Thursday to Mysuru. Deepavali will be celebrated in the presence of Sri Swamiji in Bengaluru. We will celebrate here. No fire crackers in the ashrams. Even outside please avoid. Many birds and animals die because of firecrackers, research has shown. The Sulphur content worsens asthma. Donate lamps and flashlights to the needy and the elderly. They will find them useful. You will earn spiritual merit.
May *** bless everyone with health, wealth, and spiritual knowledge.
Tvameva
Sri Guru Datta
