January 15, 2006

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. :: SREE DATTA SARANAM MAMA:: Subrahmanyam.bharathula
