Guru Geetha || 1 -

Meaning: -
Birth is like a forest we seem to wander like an insane person. We bow
down to that GURU who has shown the way for our lost mind.
Slavery was a much cursed
practice. This was because an individual is born free and he is not ought
to be bonded by someone. But even after centuries of abolishing slavery
man is still imprisoned. This imprisonment may not a physical but a
psychological one. Most of our practices are based on what the world is
following and not what is appropriate for us. Thus our mind becomes a
slave to the thinking pattern of world. We don’t dare to go against the
flow. For e.g. a student who is proficient in arts is forced to take an
engineering or medical studies because of the pressure of environment.
Set yourself free of clutches
of this maddening world. We are entangled ones. To set ourselves
free we need someone who is not tied to the material world. Guru is the
only person who can liberate us. In the above verse the birth is
compared to a forest where the Guru shows the way for our lost mind.
The life of Janabhai was one
such blessed with Guru’s grace. Janabhai- a small girl had come to
Pandharpur to see Lord Vittal. She was not accompanied by any one. She was
much engrossed in watching Lord Vittal and was fully involved in singing
and dancing to the tune of Lord Vittal’s Bhajan.
Sant Namdev was a renowned
Sathguru in Pandharpur. He was astonished to see the enthusiasm of the
small girl Janabhai. Sant Namadev went near that small girl and asked whi
she was. The small girl wittly replied “I am Child of Panduranaga—Janabhai.”
Sant Namadev was happy to hear that the small girl calls himself the child
of Lord Vittal. Sant Namdev asked about her parents. Quickly she replied
“Lord Vittal is my father and mother. I am not alone. Lord Vittal is
always with me.”
The belief that child has on
Lord Vittal we grown-ups fail to have. We always seem to gumble that we
have no one for support but fail to understand thhe fact that Bagawan is
always with us, whis the small girl Janabhai had well established in her
mind. Janabhai began to stya at Sant Namdev’s house and used to do
Kaingariam (service).
In the course of her stay at
Sant Namdev’s place- the sathguru bestowed upon her all blessings anf made
her aprecious stone which radiated love for Lord Vittal. One day it was
raining heavily. Lord Vittal drenching in the rain protected Sant Namdev’s
house which otherwise would have dissolve in the rain. Sant Namdev came to
knew about it and invited Lord Vittal inside the house and urged Lord
Vittal to change wet cloths.
No spare cloth being available
Lord Vittal wore the garments of Janabhai. Lord Vittal and Sant Namdev
were engrossed in chat and Janabhai carried on with her daily chores.
Janabhai wished that Lord Vittal should talk to her. While she was
thinking so Lord Vittal came to the place where Janabhai was seated
grinding the flour. Seeing Lord Vittal Janabhai was delighted. We need to
appreciate the Bhakti of Janabhai which pulled Lord Vittal to her place.
Lord Vittal helped Janabhai in grinding the flour. Lord Vittal used to
write the abhajas composed by Janabhai.
In many more instances
Janabhai experienced the bliss of Lord Vittal. This all was possible only
due to the grace of Sathguru-Sant Namdev. Without a right guidance of
Sathguru Janabhai would not have been able to intermingle with Lord Vittal
in such a way.

' short stories to regain
your faith '
We always ignore the
beautiful gifts of Bagawan. We aim for those happenings which are
futuristic in nature. In management lectures and motivational talks people
say life should be taken as it comes. Live in present and don’t think
about past or future. But adapting to such practice may not be as easy as
it is been said. When faith on Bagawan is foundation life seems to be so
smooth. All idealistic behavior expected from an individual becomes a part
of life. This is because love for Bagawan teaches us to live the life the
way He would cherish.
How do we develop an
intimate relation with Bagawaan so that all things best things in life
follow? A Guru is the one feeds the love for Bagawan, the more we hear of
Bagawan’s Leelas and His Grace the deeper would be the faith implanted in
our hearts.
Achyutha Priyaa brings outs small stories to
regain your faith in Bagawaan Shri Krishna.
In a village there
was a person not rich enough. He used to curse Bagawaan for not his state
and not helping him to rise out of poverty. Goddess Laxmi being merciful
asked Bagawaan to shower His grace on the poor chap. Bagawaan replied that
eventhough I am ready to pour grace on Him He is not in a state to accept
it. Goddess Laxmi did not agree to Bagawaan’s saying. To convince Goddesss
Laxmi Bagawaan decided to put a bag full of wealth, gold, precious stone
etc on the path the poor person was walking.
Till then the person
was walking in a normal manner. Suddenly a thought came to his mind ‘If I
were blind how would I walk.’ So he started walking with closed eyes. The
booty lying at his feet was ignored by him and he crossed the bag. Had the
person not used his brain of acting like a blind person he would have
gained the booty.
We would say the
person was foolish but many times even we indulge in such illogical
thinking like, what would happen if had missed the bus/train we go into
all negative aspects of the events, how would I react in XYZ situation.
This is what happens with us. God has planned something for us we ignore
that and try to find our own path and when we fail to succeed all blames
are put on Bagawaan for not helping us. Understanding the divine message
and interpreting it in a correct manner is the key to our happy life. Radhekrishna

Radhekrishna my Pranams to Guruji Amma and our Guruji -Mahan Brarhma Shri
Gopalavallidasar. Under the shade of Guruji's grace my life blooms with
buds of happiness. Each day in life is accomplished by blessings of our
Guruji. I can proudly say that Guruji has helped in leading a fulfilled
life. I am not an ideal disciple but my Guruji has always been pouring
His grace on me.
I am glad to share a small
incidence with you all. I take the suburban trains for commuting to
office. Usually the trains are crowed in the evening and it becomes a
little strenuous to commute. One evening I boarded the train and while I
was doing so someone's nail hurt my eye. Initially I didn't care about it.
But after some time my vision got blurred and I experienced an itching
sensation in my eyes. Then I realized that my lenses were displaced. (I
use soft lenses to correct my short sight vision.) I was sure that my
lenses were lost and I didn't even make an attempt to search for it. To my
surprise after some time I found that the lenses were just on my cheeks.
Usually I don't carry the lens case with me but that day it was in my bag
and I was able to place the lenses in the case. The train was relatively
not crowed so it gave some room to handle the lenses properly.
I didn't even call for a help
but Guru's grace didn't let me down. No matter what the situation be
Guru's grace will always protect us. This would be a very minor incidence
but it reassures the power of Guru. I will infinitely be indebted to
Guruji.
Guruji's Disciple,

'sathsang programmes''
Guruji's Satthsang in Mumbai is going on very
well. Guruji's Mumbai Sathdang strated with Divine Kalyaanam (Marriages). Mumabi
devotees got to hear five divine Kalyaanam namely Rukmini, Sita, Andaal,
Radha and Padmavati Kalyaaanam. Each Kalyaanam was celebrated in a grand manner
with lot excitement. Guruji told the true meaning of the bond of marriage. The
manner in which wife and Husband should behave to make the marriage a successful
one and experience the divine bliss. The festival of Kalyaanam were concluded
with Bhajans on the following day.
It was really blissful for Mumbai devotees to
attend five divine marriages in a row. It was Guru's grace to bring all devotees
together to enjoy the delightful event. Sri Andaal's saying of "Kudi irundu
kulirndelor embavaai" proved to be true.
Guruji's next Sathsang in Mumbai were on Ramanujar's Vaibhavam. These Sathsangs
brought out the pains taken by a Guru to uplift a disciple. In Ramnujar's
Vaibhavam Guruji also explained the greatness of Sathsisyaas like Kongilpiratti,
Mudhaliandan, Umai Vaishanavar. These discourses also brought into light the
misconceptions in the minds of disciples.
Guruji along with Mumbai devotes are going to
Pandharpur on 12th Feb and would be returning on 15th Feb. From 15th February
till 24th February Guruji's Sathasng on Thirukoloor Pennpillai Rahasyam will
continue at Sathoshi Mata Mandir, Dombivili(West).
