Sri Swamiji’s Discourse at Dharmavaram, AP, India, on Nov15, 2008

Even within the time constraint of 10 minutes in the line, one will get
Darshana (divine vision), Sparshana (divine touch) and Sambhashanam
(divine discourse) if we FOLLOW discipline. You will find answers to
your questions in this short span of time itself

Pujya Sri Swamiji’s Message at Anantapur, AP, India, on Nov 18, 2008

We have several domestic problems. It is an over-expectation that
having Darshan of Sadguru once, all our problems would melt away.  We
must pray to Sadguru to grant the endurance to bear the effects of our
Karmas(actions of past). Swamiji does not need your propaganda or your
money. He expects your untainted devotion. He wants your devout heart.
Swamiji is always in search of such devotees. We should be going to the
mountain. However, the mountain itself has come rolling to us! We are so
fortunate.

Pujya Sri Swamiji’s Discourse at Dharmavaram, AP, India, on Nov15, 2008

Devotion is very important, not the quantity you are offering.  Rukmini
was able to prove her devotion with a Tulasi leaf, whereas Satyabhama
could not win even with all her golden ornaments put together. Sometimes
a soulful prostration is all that is enough. Food that is offered
without love, Puja that is offered without devotion, Vratas that lack
Ekagrata (concentration) are not appreciated by the Lord. Whatever we
do, we should synchronize in thought, word and deed. Then only we will
get the fruits of our action.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Dharmavaram, AP, India,15-Nov-2008

You must thank difficulties because they are helping you to do spiritual
practices. Do service to Lord when your body is strong. Do charity as
soon as you have the desire to do it. Do not postpone noble works.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Peethapuram, AP, India, 19-Jan-2003

You should be physically fit. Get up at 5 am daily. It becomes a habit.
It is a very good habit. Then go for a walk for one hour. Chant the name
of God while you walk. It is good Puja. Physical fitness is important.
God will help us if we can help ourselves.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Peethapuram Ashrama, AP, India, 22-Apr-05

God gives and God takes. What to give t o whom, when, why and how are
His decisions. He also causes the love and devotion to Sadguru. He does
it when he finds you to be ready for that association.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Pithapuram, AP, India: 19-Jan-2003

The more you become a servant, the God blesses you more. He becomes your
servant when you humble yourself. Showing your ego is a giant pitfall.
Sadguru does not bless you until you do Namaskara to him.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Peethapuram,AP, India 18-Jan-2003

When doing good and work of truth, you may face difficulties.
Difficulties in life are like family members. You have to accept it.
While trying to Dhyana, one yawns. Why because while trying to achieve
concentration you tend to sleep. That happens because the only time you
rest is when you sleep. That is the only concentration in life.

Sri Swamiji’s Discourse at Dharmavaram, AP, India, on 15-Nov-2008

As soon as you get up from bed, get up pleasantly, not with grief or
fear. Thank the Lord that you are alive. No body can extend your life.
It is His grace that you are alive today. Thank Him. Plead for divine
knowledge. Plead for a charitable mind. Plead for tranquility and
balance. Plead for strength to win over obstacles. Listen to some good
Bhajan or Suprabhata or Vishnu or Lalita Sahasranama. Get up chanting
the Mantra given by Guru or any God’s name or Rama Taraka Mantra
