Sri Swamiji’s discourse after Kumbhabhisheka in Machilipatnam Ashrama on 17th February 2003
I intend to introduce the Raahu Kaala Deepa in this Ashrama also. You will be required to come for 40 weeks, or 32, 18, 9 or 64 or 120 weeks and light the Raahu Kaala lamp every Fridays. With that your children will get better education, Disease will be cured. Your friendship with Swamiji will increase. Your interest in Spiritual life will increase. Those boys who worked as volunteers in this Ashrama have settled very well in life. The youth of Machilipatnam have worked in Swamiji’s Datta mission in a exemplary manner. Many have gone abroad, many have settled well in life. I always remind them that they should not forget their mother root – Machilipatnam. I miss their presence here. They are helping Datta mission very much. I can never forget Machilipatnam. My dear ones in this assembly, you too do it and become close to me. Come every Sunday and participate in Satsang. I want the Satsang to be very good and strong. 12 years since the Datta Temple inauguration has passed. The temple donor Sri Vidiyala Venkateshvara Rao is a Blessed soul. 12-year cycle is an important part of life. The Datta star Atri Varada Raja Datta has been given to this temple. Sthala, Shila and Nara (Earth, Planets, and humans) have subtle changes every 12 years. It is also said that if you don’t see a relative for 12 years, that relationship is gone. So, it is important that we come to temple often and not miss this 12-year cycle. You get immense energy to lead your day-to-day life. We always aspire for more Blessings. It has no end. But we also must pray for strength to face the difficulties. Life is full of hidden secrets and inner meanings. In our efforts to unravel them, we make mistakes and antagonize people. People too have to understand that life is organic and keeps changing. People change. One has to learn to understand and be accommodating. I want the youth of this place to take charge of the activities and give
respite to the elders who have been serving over a decade. Youth spirit
is important and we need to recognize it. I want young ladies too to be
in charge of the Matru Mandali. I came from Manginapudi today. That place is beautiful and was very dear to me. It has good vibrations and energy. I was told that the Government intends to develop that place. I hope they don’t build buildings that do not match that place. You all need to protect this place. God will give you energy and resource to do that. Swamiji needs to do more here. You all join in that task. ********* |
