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

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. Brahma
wants you to be pure

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse

All spiritual paths and religious types give out Jnana. We should not
confuse here. In order to develop wisdom, devotion is a important
requirement. Self surrender is important. What is self surrender? It is
to get intimate with Godly nature, liking it. Loving it unconditionally.
This is Self surrender.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Hindu Temple, St. Louis, USA,06-Jul-2003

The passive emotions gets helped. Swamiji sends such musical vibrations
to the audience and helps them. Swamiji’s music helps the thought
power to emerge as a positive energy.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, St. Louis,USA, 06-Jul-2003

Why do Hindus shave their head? Why do they offer their hair to Gods? Do
you think it is because God is jealous of your nice hair which mostly
has dandruff and lice? No. Never. It is offering of ego. It is to curb
the ego of the person.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, St. Louis,USA,04-Jul-2003

SOHAM is a long breath. Long breath means, “I AM BRAHMA”. You should
get the Brahma feeling when you close your eyes. Not the family
troubles, credit troubles.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Minneapolis, MN, USA,10-Aug-2003

VIGRAHA (idol) represents NIGRAHA (control). It aids concentration. Idol
worship requires strong determination and concentration. You need a
strong wish to worship.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, London, UK

With birth, problems will arise day after day. You will never be free
from worldly problems. But learn to meditate and pray. Such practices
will help you over come your weak tendencies and attain higher spiritual
level.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, London, UK

Guru is your navigator who will guide you from birth to immortality. Of
course it is difficult to get on that boat. Only a select few gets on
such a boat. All those present here are lucky souls.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Dallas, Texas, USA, 02-Jul-2009

As long we live, let us live a life of happiness and joy which is
possible through contentment only. Cause of all our worries is the
garbage
accumulation in our mind. Discard the garbage! You will be happy again.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Dallas,Texas,9-Jun-2009

It is possible that our problems are not solved or new problems keep
arising, but when you are smiling and happy, you will be able to tide
over the situation easily because you will be in a position to receive
the abundant blessing of Sadguru.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Charlotte, NC, USA,13-Apr-2010

If you have good friends and good habits, your begging to God will
reduce. Your "give me" begging to God will come down. If He starts
giving, your two hands will be insufficient.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Dallas, USA,02-Jul-2009

Culture and Tradition are basis of our healthy existence. Dharma in the
form of morality should be the back bone of our existence.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Dallas, USA, 05-Jun-2009

The question in your mind is “Will Swamiji see me or not? Will Swamiji
talk to me or not? Will Swamiji help me or not?” When such dubious
questions arise in your mind, Swamiji’s blessing will support the
later
part of your thought i.e. Swamiji will not see you or talk to you.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Dallas, USA,06-Jul-2009

Do not retreat from Guru Seva (service to Guru) during bad times. It
will worsen your situation. Vittapa haara (financial loss), Maanapahara
(loss of reputation), Pranapahara (loss of life) are the three things
that can happen. You can regain money and reputation only when you
retain your life. Sadguru silently helps you in times of difficulty.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, SDHS vounteers, Mysore, India, 29-May-2010

If you want to be fit for service, you must do exercise. You cant sit or
stand for three hours because you don’t exercise. Your body pains.
Like food is important to body, exercise also is important. Practice
Hata yoga. It
is a great respect for family, nation and Sadguru

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Peethapuram Ashrama, India, 22-Apr-2005

What will I get if I follow this Guru? What will He give me? You are
more concerned about who else is following the Guru than the experiences
you gain from following Him or Her. Most approach me to get their
unfulfilled materialistic desires fulfilled.If you ask me, I would
confidently say that DEVOTION itself is the greatest gift from Swamiji.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Vidyarthi Gnana Bodha Sabha, Mysore, India. 19-May-2004

People from many regions come to this Ashrama. They all speak different
languages. Ask them if you want. They will confirm that they can
understand the message of Sri Swamiji’s speech even if Swamiji is
speaking a different language than theirs. It is because of love for
Swamiji and the simple words Sri Swamiji uses. Love works here.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, SDHS Volunteers, Mysore Ashrama, India, 29-May-2010

Our sadguru is our leader. He will correct our faults. It is His
responsibility. You don’t correct. You correct yourself. Read good
books for gnana.
