Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Namah Shivaya all, i thought i would send you all an Amritapuri update later, but all this nonsense being talked against Dayamrita swami makes me open my mouth now. Dayamrita Swami is a wonderful humble man whom I have had the privilege and pleasure of knowing for several years. He is not, as Tom so arrogantly puts, a "wordly newbie".. i wonder where you get off insulting a sincere servant of Amma like this. I have seen him spend many sleepless nights working for the ashram and Amma. I have seen him personally go out of his way to call up devotees who are having problems etc and counsel them. Please dont say such things in a public forum , when he is not aware of this. Coming to Ganesha and Guru-Both the Lord and the Satguru are initiators on the spiritual path. The Guru is none but Ganesha in human form. This is why those who have a Guru start their prayers with a prayer to the Guru, and generally those who dont relate to a Satguru, start with Ganesha. Thats simple enough isnt it? In most satsangs they follow this. In austin, as nandu said, they start with Ganesha- because thats a habit that I had while I lived in austin and when we started the austin satsang, we used to sing Ganesha bhajans first , so the habit stuck. It doesnt matter at all, if you sing Ganesha or Guru-both start you on the spiritual path and both are same. Om Amma bala Mail Bring photos to life! New PhotoMail makes sharing a breeze.
