swami's discourse


Parama Pavana maina Bharata vani Yandu
(in this most sacred Land of Bharat)
Sahana manmade manaku chakka danamu
(tolerance is our real beauty)
vratamu lanniti yandu vane ganchina Yatti Ghana Sathya sheelame kathina tapamu
(out of all the rituals, Penance, ADHERENCE to truth is real penance)
madhura bhavambedi mana desa mandanna matru bhavamu kanna manya meddi
(what is most sweet thing about this country is love for mother)
pranambu kantenu manambe ghanamanu mana desa neethini manta galipi
( virtue is most important than one’s own life and this priniciple is being ignored)
neti kichiri Paradesha Neetula Rasi vese vichitra swetcha anu vichu kathe
(due to westernization in the name of freedom)
enugu etla tana balamu eruga ledo attu lainaru mana bharatheeyulu nedu
just as the elephant is unaware of its strength, Indians have come down to the level of elephant.

Embodiments of love
Indians are very fortunate, this land is land of sacrifice,merit,spirituality… such a country, Indians are not understanding the greatness of Bharat… if an elephant waves its tail it can throw a person 9feet away.. such an elephant is controlled by a human.. not knowing its strength, elephant is slave to humans…

YOU ARE NOT THE BODY:
This body is bound to fall one day or the other, the indweller is permanent..He has no beginning nor end… He is God himself.. realize this truth… this body is just an iron box…the power present in this body is not present any where….Truth is PERMANENT… you can just experience it but cant see it.. Truth is God, God is wisdom,he is endless..

TRUTH AND ONLY TRUTH:
Everything is born out of truth, and merges in truth…there is no place without truth…you will find truth every where nothing is Mithya (illusion), but man is carried away by out ward beauty… Man has to realize this TRUTH.. Man has to uphold TRUTH.. There is no place without TRUTH…Sathya is the foundation for the mansion of Dharma.So control your senses and give up body attachement. Merely relying on bookish knowledge is paving way for forgetting the TRUTH…Ignoring the Truth, we are follwing the senses…Mind can run any distance in seconds.. Mind has to be put in control…MIND IS LIKE A MAD MONKEY… BODY IS A WATER BUBBLE.. by believing the mind and body, Man is RUINING his life.. the day when you give up body attachment and control your sense and realize the Atma tatva.. that day you will be God himself.. You are not MANAVA(Man)..you are MADHAVA (God)… You have taken a form of human being, as long as you move about in this world, you wil be called by the name given to you by your parents… this is just ACTING.. the moment you leave this body you get another name and another form..

You have to make use of this Human life.. all your learning, degrees are MOMENTARY…. And they vanish the moment you leave your body.. first of all realize the REAL TRUTH.. the TRUTH.. IAM NOT THE BODY.. if any one asks you Who are You?.. you respond to a person basing on your body and your name.. if your name is Ram das, and when any one calls you you say YES I am Ram das. Who gave you this name?… You didn’t have name when you were born…its just a name given to you by your parents…

LOVE YOUR MOTHER
When Rama was named by Vasishta, he was named Rama Chandra.., only few people realized Rama’s divinity….You should have forbearance… other wise you are not human being at all.. Love your mother…today do you find any one respecting their mother? That day when Rama was going to Janaka Maharaja(Sita’s Father), he took blessings from His mother….She blessed Rama to be successful and victorious…Because of that mother’s blessings, Rama was successful.. Janaka was a learned man.. he fell at the feet of Rama…and asked Rama to marry Sita.. though Janaka asked Rama, Rama didn’t agree….. TODAY’S BOYS ARE NOT LIKE THAT.... They jump in joy the moment theIr marriage is fixed and start printing wedding cards and distribute them to all…But Rama said, we are four brothers, Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata and Satrugna…so the four should be married same day, same time…Though the marriage to Sita was fixed, Rama never looked at Sita…Today’s children are not like that.. after engagement they go to movies.. this is NOT THE RIGHT ATTITUDE.. He never looked at Sita.. after getting consent from His father, Dasaratha.. He accepted to marry sita, still He didn’t look at Sita..

SITA RAMA WEDDING:While the marriage was going on, Sita was supposed to garland Rama first… Rama yet didn’t look at her.. because, “she is not my wife.. she is another women.. how can I look at another woman?its worst of the sins”… Rama was very tall.. and Sita couldn’t garland Him….. Rama didn’t bent before Sita and Sita didn’t garland Rama….. All the people assembled were looking at each other with curiosity….. then Rama looked at Lakshmana.. and Lakshmana said, Brother! first you touch the feet of our mother.. Rama took blessings from mother, and to do this Rama bend, and immediately Sita put the garland around Him…
This way the marriage was conducted.. those ages are the real ages.. Today, boy s and girls, don’t stick to such moral values..

Always listen to elders, respect them.. Then only there will be peace in your lives..When they went to forest, for 14 years. Sita followed to forest as she considered her husband as God, as life…one day when Rama and sita were sitting under a tree and were in conversation, Lakshmana left the place.. he walked a long distance.. then Lakshmana had bad thoughts.. he thought, Brother, why should we suffer like this? Lets go back to Ayodhya.. Why should Sita suffer?.. Rama called Lakshmana and said, its not your mistake.. it s the effect of the place… this is a place where demons move so you have demonic qualities.. this is not your behaviour….. there after Lakshmana transformed and lived with Rama and Sita for 14 years

RAMAYANA-INDIA
…Ramayana is the HEART of India.. for all the difficulties we face today is just because of losing values.. even if you are in mountains, in the river, invillage, in town, God WILL COME TO YOUR RESCUE.. those who know the nature of God will EXPERIENCE THE TRUTH.. The spark of God is present in every one of us.. We are the sparK of the divine.. we are GOD… If you say, I am son of SO AND SO, son-in-law of SO AND SO.. brother-in-law of SO AND SO….... YOU WILL REMAIN SO AND SO ONLY…

Embodiments of Love
You all are good children.. but because of environment, and also food habits you are becoming bad…. Have good friends TELL ME YOUR COMPANY I SHALL TELL YOU WHAT YOU ARE… So you should join GOOD COMPANY…Join good company, get a good name.. BE GOOD DO GOOD SEE GOOD.. THIS IS THE WAY TO GOD.. Lead your life accordingly For the past 4 days, I AM TROUBLING YOU.. (Prof.Kumar paused for a while, as Students loudly said NO SWAMY!!!!)Swamy continued “you might say NO, but I know…..in the days to come I will tell you many more things…Lead your life like Rama…Give up bad thoughts.. when bad thoughts come in mind don’t think about them again and again.. as you see, as you talk, bad thoughts come.. JUST IGNORE THEM… Sathya Dharma Shanti Prema are your GOOD FRIENDS… Don’t leave them… then only YOU will be a GOOD BOY..other wise you will be a BAD BOY.. get good name.. to you and to your parents… and make them happy..never disobey your parents.. then only you will earn the MERIT”….

After about 5 mins. .. Swamy gave a short discourse which gave 70mm smiles on all our faces… He said, “ All of you should have a smiling face… smiling doesn’t mean laughing loudly….Swamy continued from His chair, “ I don’t like castor oil faces!!!….Even the scholars who have assembled here are not smiling… the problems with their wives and children are understandable!!!”Thus Swamy ended His divine discourse leaving all of us smiling…
