Baton Rouge Datta Temple - August 1, 2002

It is for your devotion, love and affection that I am here today. It is not my plan that I am here today. There is no MY. There is only yours. Swamiji always says, “ I am not there. Everything will happen according to your Karma and devotion. God is there”. This is a good relation between Guru and disciple. This year is Chitrabhanu named year. All confusions and calamities will ascend. The past year was a turbulent one with unemployment, confusion at home, office and inner self. The news was bad and confusing. It will continue till December and will improve to the better after December. Pray Lord Shiva because this Agni Nakshatra likes Lord Shiva and Hanuman. Swamiji has sung Hanuman Bhajans and Chalisa. Hanuman will give strength and will strengthen the world also. The weather is not good. Many places have not received sufficient rains. So, this kind of a crisis and problems when we face, we have to pray and wait. No answers will come immediately. Simply pray and surrender. That is the only path. God knows how to give, what to give and when to give. I suggest that we stop to crave for news till December. Bring down your habit of news craziness. Don’t look paper and see or listen to news. There is no use for that. Don’t worry share market will improve. We cannot go back to old times. We will get used to the new times. Many devotees have lost jobs. They have taken heart and are courageous and bold. They even give courage to Swamiji. Losing job and getting a new one is as casual in as changing wives in this country. Control yourself. Don’t lose temper. When you lose everything, you should not lose temper also. My Blessings to you all. This year is a powerful year. Chant Hanuman Chalisa till December and listen to all the Kavacha Mantra tapes and listen to them regularly. Give it to many others and ask then to listen to them. They are my personal Mantras. The audiotape Tripura is also very good and contains important Devi Bhajans.

There is concert tomorrow in Lafayette. Come there. I have a small teeth problem and like Ganapati I have one and half teeth only. MY devotee dentist Dr. Lalit will fix it.
