Discourse of Pujya Sri Swamiji on 28 September 2008

Our wish was that Kala purusha, parabrahma maha Vishnu of SARVADHAARI NAAMA year would relieve us from all the troubles, would show manifestation and break mountains of illeffects of the world and mankind. But SARVADHAARI year’s KAALAPURUSHA showed all the disastress avataaras line JALA PRALAYA and AGNI PRALAYA. In This year the rates of petrol and electricity have been increased enormously. The kaalapurusha of sarvadhaari also destroyed the well grown crops.

Farmers and weavers committed suicide. Not only in our state but in the whole country officials and politicians are behaving arrogantly with power mania. In all the fields there are misunderstandings, confusion and restlessness. We do not know what would happen to the mankind. When we expected sarvadhaari to show his manifestation like arjuna had from Sri Krishna in the Kourava Sabha, Sarvadhaari Kaalapurusha has done just the opposite by creating Jala, Agni and human disasters. In this kaliyuga we feel whether it is necessary to show all these disasters. Why are innocent human beings effected. We were forced to compromise and bow down to kalapurusha since all the above mentioned are his own forms. We have no right to say that this is wrong and that is right. The demise of a person in our house whom we love very much will make us abuse the Lord saying that injustice has been done to us. It may be injustice to you but may be justice to the one who died. If injustice is done to one person, justice has to be done to another person. That is why we should not abused the lord. God and Guru should never be blamed. If the person’s leg is fractured, he should not think that injustice has been done to him. The person should think that the leg is fractured due to his negligence and carelessness . In fact when paramatma had to break his leg, the person should think that he saved him by breaking his leg. And that he has been given justice. When we are into a trouble, a blame or poverty we should not think that it is injustice. We should pray god to give us strength to withstand the situation. Then only we become true devotees otherwise we are not devotees at all. Under no circumstances we should abuse god and dharma. We have to discharge our duty till the last breath. That is our dharma. If god troubles us it is our duty to untie the knot. If we have two gold chains in our neck, they frequently get entangled. We untie the knots of the chains very patiently because we want the gold chains. We do not throw them just because they are entangled. If there is a knot in our hair we untie the knot carefully but we don not cut the hair. However difficult it is we do not cut the hair because of it is decorative. Untying and getting rid are different. Just because we have a cold we cannot cut the nose, instead we take medicine to cure it. This is all a natural process. We don’t get disgusted. We are trying to come out of troubles, unwanted responsibilities and diseases. We are discovering new ideas to be away from dangers. In the same way when we are in troubles also with a new idea we have to overcome and come into bakthi path only. To be comfortable psychologically and to acquire more energy we have to increase our upasana strength. To increase that we have to increase penance. What is Penance? Reaching Sadguru itself is one yatra tapas. Listening to Satguru’s discourse is another tapas. Listening to spiritual thoughts is also a penance. We have to add more spirituality to our buddhi then all ill feelings, mental disturbances will be removed. Even if we are in trouble the energy of upasana will not care for the troubles.

People complain that there energies are lowering now compared to their initial association with Sri Swamiji which gave them immense happiness, faith and bravery. It was uttered by five to six members only in the beginning Swamiji was everything to them, Swamiji’s bhajans were like nectar and Swamiji’s speeches were captivating but now why is the complaint. It is because of increased selfishness in those members. Their energies are lowered because they started to find fault with the system. They are only the witness for the change occurred in them. In those days they ran to Swamiji selflessly with love. Now they became selfish. They take petty things also to swamiji which is nothing but troubling swamiji. They stooped down to such a level that they want all the comforts to themselves and discomfort to swamiji. Initially chanting swamiji’s name itself used to be everything to them though they used to face some problems. They never used to take the problems to heart because the hearts were filled with swamiji. Why are the energies lowered now? They thought if they serve to some extent they get the remaining automatically. In the beginning days they used to have lot of mental peace whereas now neither guru puja nor pada puja nor house visit can comfort them. Swamiji is the same. There is no change in swamiji. But there is lot of change in them. Bhakti and Shradda towards guru are on decline. Their necessities and greed are increased and their dependency on swamiji is also equally increased. They started looking at swamiji at human level due to which devotion is diluted. Initially they used to look at adore swamiji with all divinity. Now they look swamiji at human level. Due to which the divine happiness is coming down. Arjuna had dharshana of manifestation. He was bestowed with Gyana. Others also had same dharshan but with a difference. When Dritarastra was given dristi by Lord Krishna and was bestowed with vishwaroppa , Dritarastra belittled the manifestation due to which he lost the boon of dristi given by Lord Krishna. From a distance a mountain looks very huge after a hard climbing one has to experience the bliss. After climbing the mountain one should not belittle the haughty mountain. Tensing Norway said that “my goal is achieved, my life ambition is attained “ . This is the correct feeling.

Whatever prasadam we get from the holy hands of pujya sri swamiji is divine. If we a kakara stone that is saligrama. If you get a dharba pusa, it is dharma pusa. The stones present in the mountain are all saligramas. We should look at them with a devotion and respect. We should not take swamijji casually. Sri Rama and Sri Krishna have all come with skin. An avatara should always be on par with human body. Ugra Narasimha himself became soft after sometime.

Human life is a boon. For the sake of children’s jobs, fights between wife and husband and unwanted responsibilities we should not waste our precious life. The holy body given by god should be protected with all necessary care.

When Lord Dattatreya went into the lake some people dispersed thinking that he will not come back. Some more people went back when he came out with madhupatra and a lady. Those few devotees who stayed back with faith and devotion had dattatreya’s dharshan and were blessed. That is true devotion. If you leave ashram saying that swamiji shouted at you, you can take it for granted that it is a test given by swamiji to get rid of you. Dattatreya’s tatvam is like that. If you succeed in all the tests put by swamiji, you will be bestowed with jeevan mukthi. How many tests did Vishnu Datta faced to have Lord Dattatreya’s dharshan? At the end with the advice of Brahma rakhasa he gave up his traditional limitations, caught hold of the loltus feet of Lord Datta, got blessed and took him home.

Donot fall prey to temptations. Swamiji does lot of magic. Be alert “ this is what Lord Dattatreya initiatd to his disciples. You listen to me or do not listen to me. Its your wish. If you want to follow you follow otherwise go away. If you go away 50% of the devotee population will reduce.

When lakhs of people were having holy dip in River Ganges Parvathi asked Lord Shiva as to how many of them would attain moksha. Lord Shiva replied that only one or two will be given moksha and the remaining all will be in the list. Same is the case with you also. In this Sarva dhari nama samvatsara, goddess Raja Rajaeshwari brought Sri Swamiji to Bhagya nagara. This year there may be some additions or changes in the way the puja will be performed. Do not put any questions about the way it is performed. Times are changing. In the same way paramatma’s dasha also keep changing. The coming navaratri is going to be a unique event. Will it come again? It will not. Participate in all events. Listen to the instructions of the volunteers. Make not a mistake. Forgive the wrong doers if any. Swamiji watches only the devotion of the devotees. Take care. JAYA GURU DATTA.
