Guest guest Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 Sri Swamiji's discourse Grapevine Convention Center – Dallas, Texas, USA 27 July 2003 – 7 PM Today I want to give instructions about the conduct of a Satsang. There is much confusion in all centers about the pattern of a Satsang. Please carefully observe and follow the exact pattern. Light a lamp. Chant OM for five minutes. Start the session with SHIVETI SHOUREETI Then start with a Ganapathy Bhajan. Sri Swamiji sings 'Gana Gana Munaku Pathiyeinana' After Ganapathy Bhajan, go to Guru Bhajan. I mean Datta Bhajan. Sri Swamiji sings 'Dattam Bhaja Dattam Bhaja Re Manuja' After this sing a GURU BHAJAN. After that go to Shiva Bhajan. Sri Swamiji sings 'Namah Parvati Pataye Maha Deva Shambho' Then move to Vishnu Bhajan Sri Swamiji sings 'Srinivasa Govinda' Sri Swamiji sings 'Dum Dum Dum Dum Durga' You can then go to other deities like Surya, Ayyappa, and Subramanya etc. But you MUST sing Shiveti Shoureeti first. Then Ganapathy, Guru, Shiva, Vishnu and Devi. These are compulsory. Shiveti Shoureeti is the Ashrama's universal prayer. This is the order that has to be followed in any Satsang. This is my Order. Today I chose to sing on Sun God Sri Swamiji sings 'Soorya Deva Paahi Paahi' Sri Swamiji sings 'Ayyappa Swaaminamaashraye' Sri Swamiji sings 'Alandu Alandu Vaa Vaa' After that read the text of a speech of Sri Swamiji's speech. It is very important to learn the message of Sri Swamiji. Swamiji regularly uses small stories to drive home a moral. Understand the moral and explain them to children. It may take 20 minutes. After that you can move to TATTVA BHAJANS. It means Bhajans with philosophical strain. If you know the tune, go ahead. After that Mangala and Kaayena Vaacha. Then the Kakadarati commences. Manasa Datta sings Sri Datta Devam Shirasa Namaami If you want Swamiji's presence remember to sing in the same pattern. Don't forget Shiveti Shoureeti in the beginning. Let us sing now. > > "oneinfinitezero" <oneinfinitezero > 2003/09/01 Mon PM 06:52:27 EDT > JAIGURUDATTA > jai guru datta > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 how about this prayer: is it said at the end of the satsang? "Prayer Sincere prayers for the Lord's Grace washes off all your sins. Universal outlook and Universal prayer "Sarve Janah Sukhino bhavantu - Samasta Sanmangalani Bhavantu" brings you personal salvation. Pray to the Almighty with cent percent fervour for his grace: not even a straw moves unless He wills it ;"Tena Vina truna mapina chalati". from <A HREF="http://www.dattapeetham.com/india/talks/satsanga.html">http://www.dattapee\ tham.com/india/talks/satsanga.html</A> JGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 as far as i remember, the meaning is roughly: "may all people be happy, may all the good things happen to everyone" Jai Guru Datta > "Sarve Janah Sukhino bhavantu - > Samasta Sanmangalani Bhavantu" > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 ..... Shiveti Sauriti is in the booklet "daily prayer", available from dattapeethamestore.com, and it is on the tape Nitya Smaranam, side B, and Kayena Vacha too. There is a tape called Kakada Arati (Bhajans and Hymns on Lord Dattatreya) Does anyone know anything about Mangala Vacha? Does Mangala refer to auspiciousness or to planet Mars, or both?

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 English Translation of Siveti Sauriti: We seek refuge in that only Lord who is worshipped in this Bharat (India) with devotion as Siva, Sauri(Vishnu/Krishna), Gajanana (Ganapati=Ganesha) Skanda(Subrahmanya, son of Siva), Devi (Mother Goddess, Durga), Ravi and Vayu (God of wind). [what does Ravi mean?] We seek refuge in that only Lord at whose command the sun shines in the firmament, the fire burns willingly and the wind is ever in motion. We seek refuge in that only Lord who is said to be of the form of water, the form of fire, the form of earth, the form of wind or the form of akasha, the blank blue space above. (the five elements, pancha tattva) We seek refuge in that only Lord who is the absolute, whether worshipped in the middle of a forest, on a peak of a mountain, on the bank of a river or in the middle of a pond. We seek refuge in that only Lord who alone is spoken of as the ancient creator, protector and destroyer of the world and who shines in the form of trinity (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva - or Datta= three in one). We seek refuge in that only Lord who is called by various people of this world by names like Allah, Jina, Buddha and who is referred to as God by the western world. We seek refuge in that only Lord whose boundless glory is proclaimed ceaselessly in the Bible, the Koran, the Sastras or the Vedas. We seek refuge in that only Lord who is worshipped and whose glory is sung in the churches, in the mosques or in the temples, by various methods, like chanting prayers, holy names etc. We seek refuge in that supreme Saccidananda who is endowed with countless names, who shines resplendent with countless forms and who is exuberant with countless good qualities and powers.
