Make your Minds as Pure as White and you will be as Pure as the Colour. --- Bhagawan's every single Miracle has to enjoyed : Swami opened the First Ever Seva Samithi Building In Venkatagiri. That was a most wonderful day for everyone as Swami opened the Seva Samithi Building, Inaugurated a Borewell and Distributed “Jangiri” Sweets to each and everybody. There was Programme in the evening of that Wonderful day that Swami was to attend in the Seva Samithi Building, It was also to include some local Political leaders who were also devotees of Swami and used to come to Darshan very frequently. In Venkatagiri whenever there was a Programme where Swami was to be there, Swami used to go to that Place in the Morning and inspect all the arrangements, that Morning Swami inspected all the arrangements including the Food for the Narayana Seva to be organised later and the cleaning of the Seva Samithi, Swami was so particular about everything, Still Is. In the evening,Swami came a bit early along with the Raja of Venkatagiri and inspected everything, When the Function started Swami saw a bit of commotion and enquired and he was told that the Garlands which were to be put on Swami and two other people were too Small and it would Look embarassing to everyone as there were too Small, Swami smiled and said "I have to look after everything”, Swami saw the 3 Garlands touched them and then smiled and said “Parvaledhu” Meaning “No Problem”. And Lo and Behold when the Garlands were put they were twice the Size of the Original ones. Swami’s Miracles are not to be questioned, only enjoyed and Remembered. Every Miracle has a lesson for everyone, every Miracle is Journey to the Divine for all of us, A journey that Swami shows the way for all of us. Swami’s Miracles are meant to be enjoyed and lessons to be learnt from and not to be questioned in any ridiculous Scientific manner. --- Seva, Sacrifice : What is Seva, Sacrifice ?, Swami gave a most wonderful Discourse on them on 10th December'1964, It is a wonderful Discourse as everyone of Swami's is and I hope that everyone who reads it will Be happy and Reflect on everything that Swami says. The greatest Way for anyone to be happy and make others happy is by Doing Seva. By Doing selfless Seva, performing Seva all the time to our Parents, and to those in need, everyone can attain a state where our mind becomes absorbed in God. So they do not depend on anything else for anything . You have to perform actions with the spirit of detachment so you can attain to the highest perfection. When we think only about ourselves always and when forget about everything else, we become attached to things, and as a result of that attachment all kinds of problems come into our life. This is not the way for anyone to find happiness in this world. The way everyone can find happiness is through detachment meaning that you should Serve everyone without expecting anything in return, It is difficult but Swami always tells you that nothing comes easily for anyone especially when you are doing Good things to everyone. Whenever there is attachment there is suffering — attachment is the cause of suffering. And where there is detachment there is happiness and peace for everyone, When we are self-centred — thinking only about ourselves — not one person will like us. No one in this world likes selfish people. SWAMI ALWAYS SAYS everyone should perform actions with the spirit of non-attachment." EVERYONE WHO FOLLOWS SWAMI AND HIS WORDS SHOULD FOLLOW WHAT I SAY TOO, Spirituality is not just talking and listening; it must express itself in our actions and everything that you do always. It is only through example that we and anyone can teach, not by just talking. Swami always says that everyone who follows Swami’s Teachings and Words should be examples to follow, showing others the way they always. Everyone Must work for our family, for our society, and only by engaging in these types of sacred and Good activities all the time, our mind will become pure. When our mind becomes pure, WILL SWAMI ALWAYS BE WITH YOU AND HELP YOU. To sacrifice for others is the greatest thing that one can do. Swami always says that selfless service is like a Big tree — help it grow and water it, when the tree grows everyone will enjoy it because everyone has seen the tree from the beginning, they have cared for it, and when it blossoms they feel happy. That is real Dharma. The basis of dharma is Yajna — to sacrifice. Always Give what Little you have to others In Need, Everyone will understand the Wonderful Aspect and meaning of Giving away only when you Do it, Talking is very easy for everyone, Doing it is difficult, Swami wants everyone of you to put Whatever you hear from Me in actions, Put everything Good you hear in Practise and only then will you make others happy and MAKE SWAMI HAPPY, That is what Swami wants nothing else. --- Importance of Bhajans During the early days in Venkatagiri i.e., in the very early 1960's, Swami actually started "Nagarsankeertan" in Venkatagiri, There were only Bhajans and Swami's Darshan, Swami told everyone that There should be "Nagarsankeertan" and that everyone who "wanted" to come for Bhajans should participate in Nagarsankeertan. Swami used to tell everyone everday the Importance of Bhajans, This is was what Swami used to say (This is an account of what Swami said within a period of 4 days) : "Do Bhajans everyday, Everybody should sing Bhajans loudly and with a full throated Voice, Why should anyone feel shy in singing God's name, Why should you feel shy or afraid of chanting God's name. In the olden Days, the Rishis in the Forest even during Meditation used to chant The Lord's name very loudly so that everything around gets purified. Never fear in singing Bhajan's Loudly. Annamacharya used to sing melodiously and very loudly, when People used to question him he said "I sing for My Lord to hear and not for you", Swami always sings loudly, Have you ever seen me singing Bhajans slowly and softly. When you sing Bhajans with a full throated Voice and with Devotion everything and everybody around you gets purified and the Lord's name gets spread everywhere. Swami wants all of you to sing Bhajans loudly and clearly and with full devotion, When you do seva you are straining youreslf physically, But Singing Bhajans only means singing loudly which is easy for everyone.Bhajans gives everyone a chance to talk to the Lord, WHEN YOU SING A BHAJAN WITH THE WORD "SAI" IN IT, IT MEANS THAT EVERYONE WHO SING IT ARE REACHING FOR ME AND I WILL REACH TO THEM TOO. Never ever think Whenever you sing the Lord's name with Bhakti that he will not hear you, He will, it is only whether you sing with Bhakti or not. I want all of you to remember this whenever you sing Bhajans" . Words that everyone of us should think and ponder, The importance of Bhajans, We sing Bhajans everyday but Swami tells us or reminds us the Imporatance of singing Bhajans loudly and with Devotion Did you know?
