"Hanuman Katha Dasoha and Sri Swamiji s 62nd Birthday

 

Sri Ganeshaya Namaha

Sri Saraswatyai Namaha

Sri Padavallabah Narasimha Sarasvati

Sri Guru Dattatreyaya Namaha

 

On 1st of May Sri Swamiji returned from an extensive Trinidad and USA Tour.

His first Speech in Mysore Ashrama went like this:

To travel from one country to another for Him is like going/moving from one

room into another room. But this time it was also exhausting. flight trips are

usually very exhausting and actually normal only for angels and demons.

Some people think Sri Swamiji is taking upon Himself so much(too much?)

strain/exhaustion. But He is Sri Dattatreya s servant and follows His orders.

All parts of the body should follow the rules of Dharma/righteousness.

control of one s breath is Hanuman.(Pranayama) It serves the atonement of the

individual soul with the cosmic soul. If one controls one s diet one can

reach spiritual goals.

Sense control is the essence of the Ramayana.

The Ashrama inmates were also told to recite the Shata Shloki Ramayana (100

selected verses of the Ramayana) By doing so one can get moksha. During a

period of sorrow one should also recite the Shata Shlokis. Later on, having

spiritually advanced, the studying of the Upanishads follows.

Some of the Trinidad devotees had difficulties in dealing with the Sanskrit

terms, but nevertheless many took part in the public recitation of the Shata

Shlokis there.

(Sri Swamiji wanted 108 devotees to recite the Shata Shlokis in Mysore

Ashrama during His Birthday Festivities.)

Sri Swamiji said He did not have any personal feelings towards (any)

devotees.

Yet one should not postpone one s journey to Swamiji/God. Otherwise one might

miss the flight!(the chance to do so)

Sri Swamiji said He had a physical body and some pain in that body,

too.(during the trip he was suffering from an inflammation of the legs and later

on

also of the throat) Still He said whenever He smiled it was of course no

artificial smile. He gave us joy. That why He was smiling even while suffering

from

pain and fever.

 

2nd of May, Prayer Hall .

there were several brides and bridegrooms with their families present there:

from the 7th month of pregnancy onwards maya begins to work for the embryo.

from the 8th onwards the embryo can acquire knowledge in his/her mother s

womb...he/she is looking for knowledge even from 5th/6th month onwards and

listening to the sounds that can be heard outside the womb. automatically he/she

gets

knowledge, even while not directly taught anything. that s why parents should

keep the atmosphere spiritually clean during pregnancy. pregnant women should

not have sexual intercourse after the first 5 months of pregnancy,. there

should be no erotic stimulants, otherwise the child might show an

over-attachment

to sexual pleasures later on. ...

 

Sri Hanuman has lived during all 4 yugas. He is immortal/a chiranjivi. he

incarnated only for the sake of others, not for His personal sake. Swamiji said

He was (like) a tape recorder, telling the stories of Hanuman.

 

....If the spiritual teacher is patting on the shoulder of the devotee, this

means that He has got some work for him/her to do.

 

Whoever wanted to serve Sri Swamiji better, should pray to Hanuman in order

to be able to serve in a gentle and understanding manner.

Do not insult the Guru of others. This is a great sin.

Before starting Japa puja etc, one should meditate on the Guru. also one

should have deep faith in the mantra initiation through Guru...."
