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

Develop broad vision. You should automatically get it when you do Guru
Seva. You should aspire for better results in after life too.

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, 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.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Address to SDHS Volunteers, India, 29-May-2010

Any day with seva is a good day. Practice your seva in dharmic way.
Whatever is your status, what ever is your designation, observe your
dutieswith devotion and shraddha. Give respect to nation and Sadguru.

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

Many go to Tirupati. Only to offer him their wishes list. All material
wishes. No spiritual or sacred wishes. When you close your eyes in front
of the Lord, don’t fall asleep. You have to permanently imprint his
image in your consciousness. You should be able to recall that image
whenever you want.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Vijayawada Ashrama, India,30-Dec-2002

Many devotees have become dependent on Swamiji even to observe their
duties. They say that they will do a particular work only if Swamiji
tells them. They will eat only if Swamiji asks them to eat. They will
donate only if Swamiji asks them to donate. This kind of an attitude is
wrong. It is not only wrong but also cruel. Such thoughts must be
destroyed at once

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Vijayawada Ashrama, India,30-Dec-2002

Many people ask what is the kind of service one should be rendering to
Swamiji? Some people simply try to point out at others' works and keep
commenting it as wrong. Some others behave as though they are trying to
protect Swamiji's property and interfere in Swamiji's activities. Both
of these groups are wrong. Your service should not create unnecessary
chaos and confusion

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Peethapura Ashrama, India,18-Jan-2003

Prayer sessions or Pujas is always a “GIVE ME” affair. It should
become TAKE ME affair. Only when you offer your life to God to tune and
make it work, then only will your life bring true happiness and new
vistas and horizon

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

One day all the discrimination of caste and creed in India will go away.
I will come again and work for it. It is this caste system that has
eaten away the Indian originality. This system is a curse for India. I
will work for its eradication

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, October 11th, 1997, Saturday, Mysore, India

"The upsurge of the feeling, 'I and mine', lessen righteousness from the
mind, allowing allurement and attachment to overpower one's thinking.
This is the power of illusion."

Pujya Sri Swamiji, October 11th 97, Saturday, Mysore, India

"Even the thought 'I want this', arising in one's mind on seeing
something is equivalent to enjoyment of the same. This is the fine
subtle aspect of Dharma."

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, on Guru and His devotee, Mysore Ashrama, India,12-Dec-2008

The relationship between a Guru and a devotee is not a business deal. It
is a relationship based on Bhakti and Shraddha.

Pujya Sri Swamiji, October 11th 97, Saturday, Mysore, India

"Vedas, Vedangas, Yagas, Penance, modes of worship -- all these are
meant to enable us to get over the illusion.  Inspite of all these noble
practices only deep devotion can make us defeat Maya (illusion).  If the
path of devotion is left out, one cannot get liberation from the
clutches of enchantment, inspite of scholarship or prolonged penance.
It is likely that such people are engulfed more and more in the lure of
Maya."

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

Swamiji knows what to give to whom, when, and in which circumstances.
Don’t ask what Swamiji gives to others. He deserves it. You may not
need it.

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, Guru Purnima, Mysore Ashrama, India,30-Jul-1996

You need to hear some sounds, so that the mind concentrated on that.
That is why Swamiji says listen to music when you meditate. The mind
will be engrossed is music. After listening to the music for some time,
the mind will get tired and tries to sleep.
