Speeches of HH Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji - Brahmotsava and Birthday Celebrations Day 6 - May 29, 2015 - Mysore
Speech - noon - SDVT
Sri Datta Venkataramana Swami Govinda, Govinda.
This year the Brahmotsavam celebrations have been conducted very happily, successfully, smoothly, subtly, and wonderfully, with no interruptions whatsoever. In every Murti, Lord Sri Datta Venkateswara, Sri Padmavati Devi, Sri Dhanvantari, Sri Marakata Subrahmanya Swami, Sri Sarvadoshahara Sachchidanandeswara, Sri Karyasiddhi Hanuman, the Navagrahas, Sri Saraswati Mata, in each and every deity, a palpable extraordinary energy is experienced. A great Shaktipata has occurred in all the deities. Pious souls, the truly devout ones are receiving from the deities, this very special divine energy transfer this year. It is Suddha Prana Chaitanyam - Pure Living Consciousness, that is seen in all the Murtis. We have life, but we are like stones. That will now change. The Lord comes walking into our hearts, removing the curtain of ego and jealousy.
This conclusion of the celebrations means, it is a restart once again, for next year's event, with the Vishwaksena Puja. There is no such thing for rituals, as a conclusion. The end at once means, it is a new beginning. You can observe a different energy in each Murti. These are not statues or lifeless stone idols. They are all alive with conscious energy. So many angels came to attend this Brahmotsava. All the 330,000 angels came. Veda chanting, Nada Upasana with Bhajans and music, Bhakti, devotion expressed by so many thousands chanting the Hanuman Chalisa, (Kriya) Yoga practice sessions, also Yajnas, Yagas, Homas which are all Karma Yoga, plus hunger appeasement by Anna Yajna. So many different types of Yajnas are taking place in these premises.
I always remember from the Consecration Day, Sri Ananta Padmanabha Acharya from Machilipatnam's Hayagriva temple.
I pray to God to excuse any faults which may have occurred during these proceedings. I am begging on behalf of all of the devotees, to forgive any faults or mistakes committed knowingly or unknowingly, by word, thought, or deed. After all, all are human beings. Please forgive, O Lord Venkateswara. Lord Venkateswara is a very soft God. He is very kind in this Kali Yuga. So many maharshis have experienced the grace of Lord Venkataramana. Many call him the richest God. He is not the richest God. But He is a Jnana God. He gives spiritual knowledge. I agree that He gives riches. Those who receive riches from Him, they give Him back their riches. It is an exchange. There is no fault in receiving and giving back to God. I agree.
Venkata Ramana Sankata Harana Govinda Govinda.
Please keep chanting the Hanuman Chalisa.
Agastya (from Denmark), in one month has memorized the Hanuman Chalisa. Without looking at the paper he chanted. I am very happy. There are different versions, so some people are pronouncing some words differently. Last Hanumanta idol's photo will be posted on Facebook today, in Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji Page. Give one Like. That Like counts as one count in your name of chanting the Hanuman Chalisa. Go to Facebook and visit all SGS related pages. Like all pages. Old posts also. Take an oath now in front of Sri Datta Venkateswara Swami that you will do so.

Speech - evening - Chaitanya Archana - Nada Mantapam
I told the person to warn before shouting Jaikara - victory slogans because I get frightened when I suddenly hear the loud shout. Very happy today that luminaries of Nada, Veda-Upanishads, Yoga, Seva-service, Bhakti, and Karma Yoga are all seated here. This is a Deva Sabha, an assembly of gods. Angels have assembled here right after the worship of Guru's padas (sacred feet). Narayana Swamy sang for Swamiji in Mylapore, Chennai, 40 years ago at the ashrama there. He remembers every song he sang on that day. Mahadevappa since the Ashrama's birth has served. Manu Bhai Patel and Maheson are both very devout. Ramayana book mentioned by the other dignitary had already come to me. Bonsai and nature I am thrilled with. A well-known Bonsai teacher and promoter is honored here. Jayaprada, the flute player, how well she played! I wished to play like that. I learned from Jayaprada.
Flight, the bird was also named Chakra. Used to fly away and return after two days. Such love it had for Swamiji. After losing a foot also, it gave me courage. I watch its video and cry. I wanted to take its grief. But it wanted to spare me the grief. Flight award was instituted in the parrot's honor.
All these extraordinary persons in each of their fields are all gems I have collected. Very tough to select. There is a village where it takes two years to find one good diamond. Very proud in the name of Datta Peetham to do this small service. I feel very happy. Datta Peetham is a big tree. Through Swamiji, people offer services and nurture this tree. Like 9 gems these gems are collected from so many different categories. No words to express.
The recipients of the awards are all great speakers and once a microphone is given to their hands, they can speak all night, lecturing or teaching. But today they are only allowed to remain in their chairs and accept our Archana, worship. So many auditoriums where they might have been asked to speak, during their careers. But here, we only offer them worship. They cannot give speeches. They may only sit and accept our honors. They sat patiently. Gods they all are.
This gentleman and his famous father had done extensive Sundara Kanda Parayana. They are doing a great Vrata. They now want to help Swamiji in His project where He wants to put the Hanuman Chalisa in the sky. They will also serve Swamiji in this project of reaching a target of 700 crores of Hanuman Chalisa. His father is a great devotee. In Srikakulam he sang despite troubles. To enhance Hanuman Chalisa chanting in Andhra Pradesh, this organization is offering their services. Honoring Srinivasa of M. S. Ramarao Trust. He will lead the campaign. Hanuman has brought you here. I give him a Kankanam. Today we crossed 200 crores.
NASA has agreed to Swamiji's tune. Many have recorded the Hanuman Chalisa individually, but lots of mistakes have occurred and the repetitive recording sessions are making the technicians tired and exhausted. You must practice 5-6 times. Don't have over confidence. You must have total faith in Hanuman. Only then you will succeed. Always everyone is practicing Hanuman Chalisa in the ashram. No one is talking. Under trees. On the steps. Hanuman is very happy.
Today on Facebook page Mysuru Hanuman photo will be posted. Go like the page first. Then Like the photo. Get one count of chanting Hanuman Chalisa for clicking Like on the Hanuman photo today. Trinidad Hanuman photo got five Lakhs likes. Not enough. I want five crore likes for this one. Taking Hanuman Chalisa videos is one project. Now this man has raised the target of Hanuman Chalisa chanting to 900 crores. Why not? It will happen. For your personal count you can do it in any language. They have printed pamphlets with the prayer and slots to record your count. For every 9 rounds you write Sri Rama in the box. Mail in your count regularly after each page is filled.
Rama stopped at Bharadwaja ashram after the battle for enjoying a feast. Sage Bharadwaja was famous for Annadana. People come even to this ashram for Anna Saaru. Rama was delayed. Bharata was going to jump into the fire in Nandigrama because Rama had not returned in time as promised. Hanuman was sent by Rama to fly to Nandigrama to stop Bharata from ending his life, to assure him that Rama is on his way. Bharata became suspicious when he saw this flying monkey. He thought it was an enemy coming to disrupt his vrata of Agni Pravesa, entering into fire. But when Hanuman came closer, Bharata noticed that every hair follicle in Hanuman's body was chanting the name, "Rama Rama Rama Rama".
Like that, we must chant "Hanuman Hanuman" in every pore in the body. As many pores in body, that many times we must chant. If you do, even prisoners will get liberated from Maya. All will become Jeevanmuktas. We are here only temporarily. Quickly we must gain spiritual knowledge. You never know when the current will go, when a power outage will occur. Current goes, means life departs. Thyagaraja Swami sang: Paramatmudu velige muchchata ...
We must become enlightened. As many times as there are pores in your body, take an oath to chant the Hanuman Chalisa. An opportunity is given - chant nine times and write Sri Rama in the box provided on the sheet. Complete the pamphlet. Very nice arrangement. Five-faced Hanuman has made this sankalpam they say. They will offer their entire count to Swamiji, whatever their organization can collect. Everyone take a pamphlet and use it. Is it raining? Rain drops? (Heavy rain occurred)
Sri Guru Datta
