Sri Swamiji's speech in Bhimavaram - 10 Jan, 2003

Today 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
Many of us today are obsessed by my and mine. This is a giant spider web. We have to get out of this. We are in this confusion ocean. There is a small boat run by Sadguru. Imposing full faith in him, we have to listen to him, live according to him and get in it. Otherwise, we may drown in that confusion ocean. He will train you to say mine is yours and mine is everyone’s. A Sadguru makes his disciple to do many things; Yoga, Yaga, Bhajan, Tapas, Divya Nama Sankeertana etc., Nama Sankeertana is an important thing we have in life.

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"
Sri Swamiji sings “Dum Dum Durga”.

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”
