Guest guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Jaya Guru Datta more from Hira: Naa (my) Datta: Someone expressed to me that these verses sounded rather frivolous: That is far from the truth. Let me please explain. The moment we wake up, our mouth smells. We see our Sadguru Datta, Sri Swamiji at work untiringly, day in and day out, removing our vasanas, bad smells, bad odors accumulated through many lifetimes. They manifest in this present lifetime as our restless minds, our un-satisfiable hankerings after this and that, our inexplicable likes and dislikes. Just like toothpaste, and soap He is continuously cleansing us, scrubbing us, like a brush, rinsing our sins away with pure water called Upadesa, God Words and the tender touch of His fingers of sheer compassion. Naa brusshu (brush) (the verb `is'is implied) Datta, naa pestu (paste) Datta Naa pallu (teeth) Datta, Sri Datta Ee (this) neellu (water) Datta, naa vellu (fingers) Datta Naa sabbu (soap) Datta, Sri Datta He preserves our life-force by teaching Kriya Yoga, so that in this lifetime, we can make tremendous spiritual progress by practicing Pranayama, remembering Him in every breath. By His daily example, He teaches us to perform worship, and dedicate the fruits of the worship at His holy feet. He delights us with the beauty that is inherent in Nature in the form of flowers. Naa Shwaasa (breath) Datta, naa pooja Datta Ee poolu (flowers) Datta, Sri Datta Naa gotra (lineage) Datta, nakshatra (birth star) Datta Naa naama (name) Datta, Sri Datta Sri Swamiji teaches that all Gods are one. Datta is all-encompassing. He is the Big Mall where all tastes are catered to. Sri Swamiji's mantras and bhajans are our kavacha, our protective armor against disaster, disease, and negative influences. Naa Rama Datta, naa Krishna Datta Naa Hanuma Datta, Sri Datta Sri Maata Datta, naa Ganapa Datta Naa Soorya Datta, Sri Datta Naa Subba (Subrahmanya) Datta, naa Naga Datta Navagrahaa Datta, Sri Datta Naa mantra Datta, naa bhajana Datta Naa kavacha Datta, Sri Datta Everything we need for our sustenance, He provides.

Datta, naa bujji (beloved) Datta Swameeji Datta, Sri Datta Ee paalu (milk) Datta, ee juicu (juice) Datta Breakfastu (breakfast) Datta, Sri Datta He transports us safely, not only in our travels in this world, but throughout our spiritual journey, over innumerable lifetimes, where our journey may span different unfamiliar spheres and planets even. Like a cushion He ensures for us a smooth ride. Datta is the fruit that we have been fortunate enough to obtain by our past meritorious deeds, and by His sheer grace. Of course, He is also sweet and enticing like a delicious juicy fruit. He is the best friend that one can possibly have. Naa caru (car) Datta, naa ooru (town) Datta Naa peru (name) Datta, Sri Datta Naa dindu (cushion) Datta, naa pandu (fruit) Datta Naa friendu (friend) Datta, Sri Datta Sri Swamiji does not deprive us of our worldly joys and enjoyments, although He is taking us on a spiritual path. He gives us the health to relish the good things in life. Naa ricu (rice) Datta, naa icu (ice) Datta, Naa friesu (fries) Datta, Sri Datta Naa webbu (web) Datta, naa dabbu (wealth) Datta Naa healthu (health) Datta, Sri Datta Sri Swamiji is all about communication, be it intimate conversations, via dreams, heart-to-heart whispers, via websites, or direct telephone calls to devotees. He has provided Datta ring tones that delight us with His names and tunes. Unlike books, and scholarly lectures, to this disease called attachment to the world, He is the one and only physician who can provide an effective cure. Our relationship with Him is the dearest and closest to our hearts ever, because His Love and personal involvement are enduring and unchanging through eternity. He forever nurtures and protects His children with the love of a Mother. Naa phonu (phone) Datta, ring tonu (ring tone) Datta Vidiponu (I won't leave you) Datta, Sri Datta Naa mandu (cure) Datta, naa vindu (nourishment) Datta Naa bandhu (closest one) Datta, Sri Datta.
