Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Bala Kumari <balaramanakumari Jul 20, 2008 8:05 AM [sDHS] H.H Guru Purnima message - 2008 SDHS (AT) googl (DOT) com Jaya Guru Datta ! The day two of the Guru Purnima celebrations in New Jersey, USA began on friday. Sri Swamiji performed SriChakra puja at 9 am.. For the gathering of huindreds of people, It was a feast to the eyes as they watch Pujya Sri Swamiji displaying various mudras during Sri Chakra Puja. After the Puja, on behalf of all the devotees, Sri V.V.Prakasa Rao & family and Sri Chundu Srinivas & family performed Pratyaksha Pada Puja to the Holy feet of Pujya Sri Swamiji as devotees chant Sadguru Ashtotharam and Sadguru Stavam. All through this time, every one present in the that hall felt the powerful & divine vibrations energised by Lord Siva himself sitting in the form of Our Sadgurudeva. What a blissful event it was !! Later Sri Swamiji gave His Guru Purnima message. *Swamiji's message* ** Today we are celebrating Guru Purnima. We are remembering Guru Parampara and doing the parampara stuthi. It is Guru Vamsa Vruksham. (Lineage) Many people does not know who is Sadguru, Parama Guru and the Guru parampara. It is like our father, grandfather, great grand father, his father and fore fathers. But there is only one first father. He is Brahma. That is why we say Guru Brahma, Guru Vishnu, Guru devo Maheswara. Guru is a creator like Brahma, protects us as Vishnu and destroys confusion in us as Maheswara. These three actions are going on continously in Guru. Brahma's creation is unique. We cannot explain Brahma's ideas. He is playing like a small boy. We are all small toys for Him. We all are tiny particles in His creation like small insects. Some are protective, some are destructive and some are poisonous. What ever is His Sankalpa, it is good. He is very happy about His creation. No complaints. No questions. Different ideas & attitudes. Every being in His creation is very busy. Even an ant is busy. Mosquito also is busy in biting. Birds also are very busy. Many people say we are very busy to follow Sadguru. We say Swamiji is in our hearts. No physical worship is necessary. We say work is worship and swamiji also likes it. We dont read bhagavadgita. We say it is a confusion. If you study deep you will understand. If you study your sadguru in depth, you will understand. You feel Sri Chakra Puja is like a toy game. It is necessary to understand Guru Gita to understand idol worship. We have to control our manas. In order to control that, we need idol worship. Vigraha gives nigraha. We are giving discipline and controlling the sense organs. When we sit with Swamiji, we have very powerful concentration. What ever is the reason, we have come to Swamiji. Some attraction is there. We dont know what is it. Swamiji's leela cannot be explained. How long miracles will work on us ? There is some attraction beyond miracles. Many people ask what is the benefit of visiting Swamiji ? We say we dont know. But if they ask repeatedly, our response will change. Slowly we speak out. But even then Swamiji's leela cannot be explained. You can only experience, you cannot experiment. Bhakthi should not be experimented. Surrender completely. Do complete Atmarpana. Swamiji is like a Walmart. All in one. You will get what ever you want. You get Karma yoga, Bhakthi Yoga, Bhajans, fun.... anything. Dont complain that Swamiji is like this... like that.... I dont like Swamiji doing this etc..... You cannot say that because He is Walmart. If you dont like, dont go. You can taste whar ever you want. But you must wait. Some people are in hurry to see Swamiji. Swamiji tests your patience also. By doing so, He will remove all your sins. Our Karma is getting washed away in long queues that we wait for Sadguru Darshana. You will forget all your pains in a moment. In Hyderabad, devotees stand for more than 6 hours in queue for Swamiji's darshan on Ugadi day... they feel very happy for doing so...In America people sit only in Sofas. They drink coffee also with Straw. But why are you sitting on floor here ? It is out of love and affection towards Swamiji that you have. You concentrate on one work at a time finish that and then take up the other one. Then you will succeed in everything. Your confusion is because you take up everything at one time. You all are doing everything half. Datta Stavam half, Puja half, food half, sleep half. Everything is 50% only. That is why you dont have good health. We say Ashthottaram is big. You finish in 8 or 16 names. Do anything with fulfillment and satisfaction. Today, this nakshatra is powerful on Purnima day. This comes only once in twelve years. Swamiji wanted to concentrate only on Guru Purnima and cancelled the three months trip. You are tiny human beings. Your quality is making mistakes. Sadguru quality is forgiveness. He will excuse all of you. You are showing your quality and He is showing His quality. Try and drive away rakshasa bhavas in you and put all your efforts to gather devatha bhavas. Do good and speak good atleast to your families or atleast to yourself. Our family is a beautiful family. We got a Nandagokulam. Sadguru is living in your body. Dont hurt yourself. Dont depress. That is why Swamiji says dont smoke. He is residing in us. Dont spoil that divine inner energy. I bless you all that all your Sankalpas be fulfilled. May our relationship grow and be stable. May it be a good relation. Again, Swamiji is like a Walmart. Dont decide for yourself that He has this, He doesnot have this.... Swamiji has everything. You pick up what you want.. social work, Bhajans, even if you want to just sit with swamiji for few minutes also, doesnt matter. There are so many devotees who invited Swamiji to their houses just to spend some time with Him. They dont ask anything. They just say Swamiji, you take rest and relax. Swamiji has Sahasra Drusthi... thousands of alankaras and actions. Once again I bless you all. May all of you grow in Guru Bhakthi ! Jaya Guru Datta ! Later, hundreds of devotees had a wonderful opportunity to touch the Lotus feet of His Holiness and offer their pranams. This program went for nearly 4 hours. All thru this time Sri Swamiji touched hundreds of hearts with " His only style " . At 4 pm Kids of devotees in North America performed various cultural activities under the banner Bala Datta. At 7 pm, Swamiji conducted Divya Nama Sankeertha and later gave a fistful of curd rice to seva kartas. This is the first time Swamiji giving food personally other than Veda Boys of Mysore ashrama veda patasala. All those who received this on this auspicious day are Lucky souls indeed !
