Sri Swamiji's speech in Bhimavaram - 10 Jan, 2003Today in
this evening time we have the auspicious occasion of the Satsang. Let
us for some time perform Divya Nama Sankeertana, the easiest path
in Kali Yuga to reach the almighty. Bhajans, Keertans, Music are comparable
to Pranayama techniques. Like Pranayama gives better health and life
and aid our Sadhana, Divya Nama Sankeertana too do it. God likes Singing.
There is no animal on this earth which does not like music. If such being
exists, perhaps it is deaf. Even crying babies sleep to good music. Lord
Brahma himself sings Vedas through one of his mouth. The bells in anklet
of Mother Goddess Parvati Devi sound in perfect harmony. It is that harmony
which is the main reason for the balance of this universe. Even a washer
man who washes clothes, makes grunts while beating the clothes. These
grunts
are harmonious. In the big temples of Tamil Nadu, we see large pillars
are so stupendous that they make us wonder how it was made to stand.
Once a Yogi with the strength of Pranayama taught other workers and made
them lift that giant pillar with that Pranayama technique. One still
wonders about the techniques used by our ancestors in doing many great
things
or engineering marvels. It is through such esoteric or spiritual training.
In my childhood I saw a giant bull tamed when good music was used.
Whether, a scientist or a agriculturist or a businessman, the people
in Maharashtra state always chant the name of Vitthala. They have many
wonderful stories involving great saints of that state who used music
for their
Sadhana. You get great peace of mind when you chant this Divya Nama Sankeertana I am here after three years. This is a auspicious time. I told then that it would be the last visit. It was my intention to make you self sufficient and independent, to empower you. We should not get disheartened by such statements. As Rama Brahmam said earlier, no one can understand the underlying plan of Swamiji. I have changed plans in airplanes i.e. mid air. Swamiji’s plans depends how pure your heart is. The cleanliness of heart is as important as the outer surroundings of your house. It is a miracle that I am here today. The Ashrama in this town is in a very traffic laden place. I remember the services of Mamidanna Venkatrao’s family in the establishment of this Ashrama. Swamiji is in a temporarily accommodation. It is a very noisy place. I am there with much difficulty. . Sri Swamiji
sings :Gana Gana Mulaku Pati yeina" I was told that this town has community feelings and problems. I urge all of you to channalise that same energy on the service to the Lord. Instead of what you are feeling, imagine what God is feeling. Then your feelings will change. Sri Swamiji sings “Devi Viradrupa Vainatti Neevvu” |
