re: global warming and Jana Samrakshana Mantra/Nama Ramayana

[Guest guest]

Jaya Guru Datta

 

Praggji wrote about Sri Swamiji' beautful s recording of Nama Ramayana

prayer which

wasn't included on the original USA releases of the Shatashloki

Ramayana cd.

For devotees unfamiliar with it, this devotee would say that it is one

of the most uplifting songs imaginable. It is not possible to listen

to Sri Swamiji singing this and feel anything but that "Sat Chit

Ananda" that is Lord Rama manifest in our Beloved Sadguru!

 

The other subject Praggji wrote about was the Jana Samrakshana Mantra

which is on Dhyanam2 cd.

 

both these are available on Apple's iTunes Music store.

 

With Mahashivaratri fast approaching I felt to include more on this.

 

For those unfamiliar, the following is excerpted from Sri Swamiji's

discourse from March 4, 2000 Mahashivaratri just prior to giving this

mantra. The complete text is available at this link:

After reading the following text, please note that the items spoken

about were taken from the fire pit during , which I believe was Sri

Swamiji's last Agni Puja.?

Pictures are available on the the website:

 

"People at large will hanker after artificial pleasures. However,

their efforts will be futile in the end. Hence there will be new-type

of problems for the mankind. "Oh Lord! Om Namah Shivaya. So far your

utterances are frightful. Are there no good tidings of the future?"

Thus the Divine Mother asks Lord Shiva."

 

"We observe that the Divine Mother in the form of Sri Chakra, the

galaxy indicated by the Eka mukhi Rudraksha and Ganapati as the

dispeller of all obstacles in the form of Ganapati-shaped rudraksha

are obtained from the fire after the sacrifice. "

 

The Mother further asked Shiva "Are there no remedies to get over the

fierce dangers? Cannot they be pacified?" Shiva replies:

"Whenever the fire hazard happens, it will be followed by the deluge

of water, whenever a disease arises, there itself can be found the

power of resistance. Whenever a new problem arises, there itself a

cure is possible". As I have forecast the future, only I will protect

those who surrender to me. This is the only solution. One may choose

any method of worship or service to me in form of a stone

(Shivalinga), or as the technical research in the physical or

spiritual pursuits or as the service to mankind or any such sincere

effort, though I am Formless, Nameless Absolute Reality. To such a

devotee I give the assurance of fearlessness. You go ahead with the

cherished service sincerely as you wish and as you can. Service to man

is service to God. Work is worship. Whatever you do, offer the result

thereof to me. "I am Formless. Even an atheist ever thinks of me.

Actually I am the true atheist. I prove to him to that effect. To my

believer, I give my vision. It is not my nature neither to prove my

existence to a non-believer nor to unsettle the belief of the theist.

This is so because it is I alone, who generate all feelings. None can

infuse any new ideas in me. Those who attribute strange or false ideas

about me are all narrow-minded religious fanatics, mere belly-fillers

and sheer talkers without true experience. I protect them also.I

show the nature of Reality to the atheist. Also I make the believer to

realize the transient nature of the worldliness.

 

My intellect is independent and self-motivated. Only due to my

intention, people take refuge in me" Thus Shiva preached to Parvati

regarding His Absolute Formless and Nameless aspects. The Divine

Mother said prayerfully "Lord! The entire creation is yours. You do as

you intend. However please enlighten the ignorant children (the

creatures) even during their grief. Remove their pride while they

enjoy pleasures". Maha Shivaratri is the day on which the Divine

Mother prayed to Shiva thus.

 

Sri Swamiji uttered the following mantra, which was chanted by all the

devotees as per His direction. "OM Aim Hreem Shreem Shiva Rama Anagha

Dattaya Namaha

" Aim indicates Saraswati, the Goddess of knowledge, Hreem means Sakti

(power), Sreem indicates Lakshmi, the Goddess of prosperity. Anaghaa

removes sins. Datta is the spiritual Master who offers himself to the

disciple. Rama indicates the Lord who does not allow the outgoing sins

of the devotee to return. The Divine Mother, Vishnu, Shiva and Guru

manifest in this mantra (chant). All of you must cultivate the habit

to recite this mantra repetitively incessantly. By such sincere japa

by you all, may the fire hazards be pacified! May the deluge of water

be pacified! May the Sun be pacified! May the stars of the galaxy be

pacified! May you all acquire enough power to face the suffering with

forbearance!

 

May you acquire the necessary ability to properly understand the

creation of God! May your effort to attain willpower be fruitful! May

your love to the Guru and patriotism develop further!

 

Om Namah Shivaya
