JAYA JAYA DEVA || SREE GURU DATTA ||

 

Pranams!

 

In this utter kalikaala, the struggle of existence

is becoming more and more acute day by day, and we don't get time to

do long religious practices and nor have such patience. The quite

simple and easy menas for common man to attain

God or eternal happiness and peace is

1.BHAGAWAN - NAMASMARANA ( Repeating the name of God)

 

2.PARASPARA DEVO BHAVA ( Invoke divine unto one another)

 

1.Bhavgawan Namasmarana:

 

All of us have come together into this group like

the homogeneous units of a joint family under Datta's graceful and

soothing shelter with joy and cheers. Everything is dark without his

warmth. Without his light, everything is dense dark. At every

moment, in every place, under every circumstance., experience the

divine presence of the all merciful Datta. Walking or otherwise,

sleeping or awake, standing or sitting, lying or doing your work

feel Datta's proximity. Live in the remeberence of his existence in

every breath.

LET YOUR HANDS GIVE A HAND TO HIS SANCTUOUS WORK

MOVE YOUR FEET TOWARDS HIS BLESSED ABODE

WITH MOUTH RECITE HIS HOLY NAME

IN EVERY WORD FEEL HIS TENDERNESS.

 

"SVAASE SVAASE DATTA NAAMA SMARAATMAN"

 

At every breath, remember the name of Shri Datta- the supreme

being, who gives everything and alwas live out life in the

rememberence of Datta. The worldly life is full of misery and the

one who is completely happy, the basis of his happiness is only

reciting the name of God. Our holy scriptures also say the same

truth.

HARE-NAAMAIVA NAAMAIVA NAAMIAVA BHAVATHAARANAM

KALAU NAASTHEVA NAASTHEVA NAASTHEVA GATHIRANYATHA||

Only the name of God enables a man to save himself from worldy

misery.Throwing aside a mantle of ego, stand before Datta as an

innocent child and experinece his immortal shade. Arise! Awake! and

with the knowledge of your inherent right, cry out in all humility

of a child to him, the supreme father of this Universe and

experience his boundless maginificance.

 

2. Paraspara Devobhava: Our span of life is uncertain, one day it

will suddenly come to an end. Hence whatever is to be done must be

done without delay and without waiting for time. Whatever you

possess, utilise it for God, to uilize for God means to uitlise it

for the good of others, because they are all embodied forms of God.

The scriptures defines this worship as...

YENA KENA PRAKAARENA YASYAKASYAAPI DEHINAHA

SANTHOSHAM JANAYETH PRAJNAS-TADEVESVARA POOJANAM||

If we satisfy any living creature by any of our ability given by God

is the real worship of God. God has not kept any individual who has

nothing to offer. God might have given wealth to some, or knowledge

to some, God might have given stout and strong body to some one and

by that strong body, if he would help the week and would lift him up

or carry him away that too is the worship of God.

PAROPAKAARAHA PUNYAAYA PAAPAAYA PARAPEEDANAM

Doing good to others is righteousness (punya) and afflicting others

is sin (paapa). The code of ethics of all religions is also same.

Achievement of true humanity is attainment of divinity. In the

words of Thulasidasji...

PARA-HITHA-SARISA DHARMA NAHIM BHAAYEE|

PARAPEEDA SAMA NAHIM ADHAMAAYEE||

There is no religion other than doing good to others and no

wickedness otherthan troubling others. The another aspect is,

whatever we have got, has not been achieved by our own efforts

only. How could any individual be grown up, if any one would not

have received the mother's milk since his birth? One should not have

received sympathy of neighbours, would he be grown up? Thus,

receiving the help of many people only, we have become what we are

now. Therefore, whatever we achive, is not destined for us only but

destined for many others. So we should help all those others and to

give our co-operation to them in the best possible manner is a great

sacrificial work.

YAATHAAVAATHVINIUMUKTHAHA| SREYAHAPATHA PRAVAASINAHA||

If we will act in this way, we will be free from a state of

hurrying and hasteing, and we will be in a state to live with peace

and ease and then only we can be travellers of the path, leading to

supreme bliss, peace and liberation. We can't see God but he does

see us. He is omnipresent. The earth on which we stand and do

deeds, the sky under which we cherish deliberations, the air in

which we make movements, this very earth, the sky and the air are

the witness of our deeds and they raise their voice either against

or in favour of us in the presence of God. Whatever you do, do it

with consciousness of God, enjoy taste of his in every particle of

food and enjoy taste of his sweet juice in every sip of water.

Experience in the air - the joy of his existence. See this divine

light in the brillience of the Sun, the moon, the stars and the

fire. See his pure reflections in every creature. We have to

recite his name at every breath, experience joy of his presence in

the entire body and don't even care for kaala (death). Even kaala

will stand before us just like a servant with folded hands awaiting

your order. We have to establish relation with God and then the

entire Universe will be our friend.

SAANUKOOLE JAGANNAATHE SAANUKOOLAM JAGAT TRAYAM|

NAANUKOOLE JAGANNATHE NAANUKOOLAM JAGAT TRAYAM||

If the Lord of this Univer is favourable, the entire world is

favourable, but if he is unfavourable, all the world will be

entirely unfavourable.

Kabir saheb also says::: Bhuke bhojan pyaase paani; nange bastar

deeje

Saadho Raama-bhajan kara leeje||

Whatever has been given to one by God, should be utilised for

the welfare of others, namely the food to the hungry, water to the

thirsty, clothers to the uncald, care and service to the sick,

knowledge to the ignorant etc., and along with this, recite

constantly the name of God is the only way of prosperity of rthe

common people in this age of Kaliyuga.

 

 

 

LET US ALL OFFER COMPLETE SURRENDER TO LORD DATTA THIS VERY DAY

AND MAKE OURSELVES BLESSED.
