Speech of HH Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji - evening - May 30, 2015 - Mysore
We have to use the website www.dattapeetham.com. It is very important. Ever since I learned about computers, this website has existed. You can use the datta peetham website like an encyclopedia, even from your smart phones. Pavan did this assignment with great devotion. There is no need to search anywhere else.
It is an offense to use the official logo of Datta Peetham. It is punishable by law. Never use the dattapeetham logo for personal use. Do not copy it. It has been registered with an International copyright protection organization. SGS, to use before or after your name is wrong. It is not allowed. Personal name of Swamiji is Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji. No Sri also. Swamiji is called either as Ganapathy or Swamiji by the officials. Not Sachchidananda. SGS Puttu Gam is a pet name Swamiji uses.
Worldwide contest is held on the occasion of this Birthday, based on Likes and comments received within 24 hours after posting photos recently on the Facebook page Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji.
Rajeshwari taught one person for two hours how to use the Facebook. The person went home and tried to press 20 times Like on the same post to get more counts. That is foolish. To laugh or cry, I did not know, Rajeshwari said. I could have instead chanted the Hanuman Chalisa during the time I wasted teaching this person, she said. Everyone register for Facebook. Learn how to use it. Use your ID. Adhaar, Pan card or Voters card to get an email ID and for recording the Hanuman Chalisa chanting on video. Your history will be asked. Give correct answers. Do not abuse the system. Do not deliberately give wrong information.

Hanuman Chalisa in Swamiji's tune
Sing only in Swamiji's tune you should not change the tune. Some are changing the tune while recording for the project. It is not allowed. You become overconfident and make mistakes. You get nervous before the microphone and miss the lines. How will I get to produce one lakh recordings at this rate? Each person is having to repeat the recording several times. It wastes the time and energy of the technical staff also.
Sing the slow version. In front of the camera you should sing at this slow and comfortable pace. There is no need to rush. You tend to make mistakes if you try to sing it at a fast pace.
Another important event will take place now. Photos were posted on Facebook on Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji page. First time in history so many Likes were earned. e.g. over 2 lakhs Likes on the photo of Trinidad Hanuman's abhishekam from a helicopter.
Top ten photos with most likes and comments will be now presented on the screen. Some photos got 1-2 thousand comments. 108th Likes on photos went to remote places like Japan and Russia to people who are unknown and not devotees. Many tried to be the 108th person to click Like and missed. They left it off. Now we will show the photos and the best comments will be picked by lottery from a selected collection of several hundred best comments. 10 prizes will be given.
33 photos were posted in all. Top ten which received the highest number of likes will be shown. 4 Hanuman photos were in the top ten. Swamiji's stature seems to have grown in the photo of Trinidad Hanuman.

Paintings of Shuka Vana birds on bird feathers naturally dropped by parrots from Shuka Vana were created to raise funds for Shuka Vana. Done by Shuka Vana volunteer, Poojitha. Birth date feathers. A collection item. Will not be mass produced. You may reserve. One sold already for 10K for the date 26th, Swamiji's Birthday. Good to keep these feathers at home. Negative effects and evil influences will be removed. Children will study well. These are not made for profit as a business deal. Genuine art. These birds speak to Appaji. There is a silent auction on these. You may write down your bids.

It is very late. Please do not mind. It is a private program today so we are not bound by any schedule. This is not an outside formal concert. Dinner will be served now. Wake up late in the morning. Do not wake up too early and arrive for breakfast at 5 AM.
