Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Neetimala,07-Dec-2009

However great might be a man's austerity, charity and wealth, if he
lacks in character all these will only lead him to hell. A body might be
very beautiful, but if life has gone from it will it not stink?

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Neetimala,11-Dec-2009

Just as light fills the day and darkness the night, so also may vigour
fill your good thoughts and inertia make your evil thought defunct.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Neetimala,12-Jan-2010

If you want to be successful in the household arena first accept defeat
bravely. That person, whether husband or wife, who gets defeated (in the
beginning) later rules the household.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Dallas, Texas, USA, 25-Jul-2003

You may wonder what Swamiji does in free time? Nothing. Swamiji is not
24 hours busy. I am busy only in the time you see me. Otherwise, I am
writing poems, speeches, reading newspapers, watch movies etc. You may
wonder why Swamiji does not sit with devotees and enlighten them. NO. I
don't want it. Because you start to ask stupid and irrelevant questions.
Careless doubts and questions.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Neeti Mala,08-Jan-2010

The fact that the sound and meaning are inter-related is not always
correct. Some times intense job emanates even from a meangless sound.
What is the language of Cuckoo? But is melidous sound gives delightful
joy to the whole world over and over again.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Neeti Mala, 06-Jan-2010

Think of your capacity before making a promise.  Do not make it in
haste. And then keep up your words and execute it with out delay even at
the risk of your life.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Huntsville, Alabama, USA,05-Aug-2003

Krishna means Christ. There is no barrier. We people make barriers.
Christ, Krish (Krishna) are similar. They are one and the same. In India
Jesus is called as YESU. In Hindu we have ISHA. So, YESU AND ISHA are
one and the same.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Neetimala, 26-Dec-2009

If you want to acquire soul-progress learn to love all. And if you want
to cultivate that love behold the lord in everyone and do service to
all.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Neeti Mala, 10-Jan-2010

It is true that the distinction between a man and a woman does not
belong to the soul.
it pertains only to the body. Yet a woman, whether young or old, good or
bad is mother to all.But a man can not be a father to all.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Dallas, Texas, USA,25-Jul-2008

Doubt is the breath of a stubborn non believer. He has to return to
births again and again to understand. In one final birth he will
realize. That is why Swamiji is saying it takes a long time.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Kaikaluru Ashrama, India,06-Jan-2003

Don’t do Seva with Ego. Don’t expect something in return just
because you broke a coconut or brought a flower Mala to a temple. God
does not wait for these goodies you dole out. You are giving back what
he gave you.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Vijayawada Ashrama, India,13-Feb-2003

You can climb a hill only when your legs are in fine motion and
understanding with one another only then can you walk for a long time
along with Swamiji. Other wise you will fall down immediately.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Vijayawada, India12-Feb-2003

Some one asked why more temples? We need several more. We need places
that make us to remember that we are under a higher force. These serve
as reminders. They are pointers in life.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Neetimala, 2-Jan-10

O Young student, if you want to retain memory of what you have
learnt-give up idleness and the appointed time meditate, take food,
study your lessons and go to sleep. Dont do any thing in a haphazard
way.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Laguna Hills,19-Jul-2003

Your relation is solely result oriented. Spiritual practices are not for
immediate cognizable results. Don't look for results. Keep on
practicing.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Guru Purnima, San Jose, CA, USA,13-Jul-2003

Sadguru is always happy. Even while watching your antics and confusion,
I am laughing inside. Such a lesson is given to you. He helps you to be
happy.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, India,19-Aug-2000

Don’t use your ego on others. Don’t challenge unnecessarily. Don’t
curse your neighbors saying "If my Guru has powers, let him make my
neighbor get sick". This is wrong. Don’t challenge. Pray that she
becomes a better person.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Toronto, Canada 18-Aug-2000

If you want Swamiji to fill your head, then, first empty the contents
you have from your previous experience. It is easy to help an empty
person. Never mix your spiritual experiences and teachings with your
ego. A mixture of various and varied spiritual experiences will cause
such a confusion that it brings you down.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Neeti Mala, 14-Dec-2009

When the Lord, the creator of all worlds, shines in all His splendor,
why this dispute about saying one is great and another not. When the
mighty lion roars in full anger to whom can greatness be attributed
between the rabbit and the deer.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, 700 Sayings of Sachchidanda

Silence is precious like the ruby. Silence is dignity enviable. Words
are a waste. Sachchidananda, Lord of  true bliss eternal.

Ganesh Slokam

Mooshika vaahana modhaha hastha
Chamara karna vilambitha suthra
Vamana rupa maheswara puthra
Vigna vinayaga padha namaste

 

मूषिका  वाहन मोधः हस्ता

चमारा करना विलाम्भिता सुथरा

वामन रूपा महेस्वारा पुत्र

विगना विनायागा पढ़ा नमस्ते

 

He who has the mouse as the vahana, He who always keeps Modhak (a traditional sweet made from coconut jaggery and rice that is rolled into a ball) He who has ears that resemble a hand held fan. He who wears a chain-like ornament around his waist, He who is short statured, He who is the son of Lord Maheshwara. O! Lord Vinayaka who is all the above and he who removes all impediments(vignas), We worship your Divine Feet.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Neetimala

Those who are crazy after wealth think that amassing wealth is a
righteous thing to do. They are deluded ones. They consider even the
foul means they adopt for the acquisition of wealth as righteous. They
will be like this till Yama
calls on them.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Dallas, Texas, USA, 24-Jul-2003

Guru is needed for Spiritual upliftment. Otherwise how can you achieve
Bliss or Ananda? Guru Parampara is sacred and sacred. It is difficult to
explain about Guru. In Guru Geeta Parvati asks Lord Shiva to explain
about Shiva. The teaching of Shiva to Parvati is GURU GEETA. It is also
ATMA TATTVA GEETA.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, St Louis, USA, 04-Jul-1003

Life is rhythmic. Even your body has many rhythms. Heart beats
rhythmically. Rhythm is the union of Shiva and Shakti. Prakruti and
Purusha. The heart makes two sounds – LUB and DUB. LUB is Shiva and
DUB is Shakti. When angry or upset, the lub dubs increase and you fall
down. When air in your body stops, everything stops.
