Anger is a foe ~ 25 July 2012

Thank you Appaji. This video helped me overcome some anger I’ve been carrying that was no longer serving me. I’m a little scared I won’t have the good things it gave me now that it’s gone– but it will be interesting to find them without the anger. That seems like a more powerful way to sustain them.

truly said!! and beautiful idol of Devi.. Jaya Guru Datta

Jaya Guru Datta Puttuji, Beautiful video and colour. Bajan in malayam is sweet to hear. Depiction of the divine mother who is personification of love, strength, knowledge and forgiveness is very apt. Mother inspite to giving all, expects nothing in return. As there is no expectation, no disappointment. As she loves her child unconditionally, she forgives and forgets the mistakes; lives her life giving. We will endeavour sincerely to bring and live these qualities in our daily life Appaji. Please bless us. Sree Guru Datta Puttuji. Lalitha

Jai Guru Deva Datta !!! Thank you Puttuji for this explanation. I will certainly work towards implementing this in my life with immediate effect.

Appaji I pray to get me mind to practice forgiveness. Om Namo Hanumate Namaha Jaya Guru Datt

Puttuji, we get angry because of our Ego. If we start to trim our ego down every day, we become less agitated, less opportunity to get angry. Consequently, we dont have to forgive but increase the giving. Appaji has thought us ways to reduce our ego and thereby our anger. May he continue to keep our mind in equipoise and encourage giving without expectation. jgd.

Jaya Guru Datta:
I have been practicing this but I have not overcome it yet. Thanks for continuously reminding me of this.

Oh Mother Godess, you are none else but Sadguru Sachchidananda, in this divine incarnation you have truly blessed your children by showing us that anger is our worst enemy. I pray to Sri Mata to remember this truth. Om Sri Matre Namah.

Anger is foe – Normally, we tend to act impulsively in anger and hurt others by speech or action. Anger is an inner enemy that causes only harm and no good. In spite of being aware of this truth, we fail to curb anger. Sri Swamiji has reminded us of this deadly enemy thru this beautiful message. Forgiveness, on the other hand, is a saintly quality. We usually develop grudges against people who have hurt us or caused us any harm. But we hardly realize that this feeling harms us far more than the other person. When we forgive the other person, the calm that prevails is something to be experienced. It would probably even change the other person for good. When God forgives us for millions of the mistakes we commit each day and gives us another opportunity to correct ourselves, it is imperative that we learn to forgive others who have hurt us. That beautiful video, the usage of colors and animations clearly depict the message in the video. Like a mother (mother Goddess), let us all nurture the quality of forgiveness in ourselves. Jaya Guru Datta.

Jai Guru Datta, this is absolutely true. Choosing to stay angry seems like an
easy choice but it corrodes your inside, while forgiveness does not come easily, it does have
Soothing effect. Thank you Swami Ji for always nudging us towards the right path.
Om Namo Hunumathe Namah

Jaya Guru Datta!

ANGER IS A FOE. FORGIVENESS IS A FRIEND:
Let go of anger and pride. When we are bound by nothing, we go beyond sorrow. He who curbs his anger is the true man. We can overcome anger with gentleness. With generosity we can overcome meanness. We can overcome deceit with truth. Let us speak the truth, give whenever we can, never be angry, these three steps will lead us into the presence of the God.

The wise harm no one. They are masters of their mind and bodies, they go beyond sorrow. Those who seek perfection keep watch day and night till all desires vanish. The anger of the body, master it, the anger of the mouth, master its words, the anger of the mind, and master its thoughts. The wise have mastered their body, word, and mind, they are the true masters. Their anger comes out of their compassion. Our anger comes out of hate, jealousy, selfish, aggression, cruelty, depression etc. We must at all times cultivate inner composure, cultivate tranquil manner.

Let us forgive all, those who hurt us physically and mentally.
Humans—man and woman—must try to live with each other exercising tolerance, patience, and selflessness. By keeping pure thoughts, we keep out impure thoughts. One can ask in prayer that, one shall be able to assist others because through assisting others, one learns oneself, in teaching others, one learns oneself, in saving others, and one saves oneself. One has to give before one can receive, one has to give of oneself, give of one’s compassion, of one’s mercy. Until one is able to give of oneself, one is not able to receive from others. One cannot obtain mercy without first showing mercy. One cannot obtain understanding without first having given understanding to the problems of others. It is an old saying – “They blame you for being silent, they blame you when you talk too much and when you talk too little.” Whatever you do, they blame you. The world always finds a way to praise and a way to blame. It always has and it always will.

Return good for evil and fear no man, and fear no man’s deed, for in returning good for evil, and giving good at all times, we progress upwards and never downwards. To the pure, all things are pure, we must at all times cultivate inner composure, cultivate tranquil manner. The distilled essence of all that we learn upon Earth is that which makes us what we are going to be in the next life. The more good we can do to others, the more we gain ourselves. Those who forgives others, lessens theirs incarnations of lives on this earth.

For giving this opportunity to us, thank YOU “Datta Guru”! Thank YOU “Puttuji”!

Sri Guru Datta!

Anger – a big topic! It catches me in day to day life easily (family/job). Awareness and having a balanced mind helps to choose calmness instead of anger in a stressful situation. I am grateful for Sadgurus help and still I know I have to do my part too.

Jaya Guru Dutta. The video is so powerful with the red and white images depicting foes and friends, I shudder to think how I will not have my foes live anywhere around me, but at the same time how I am letting anger live inside me. The video gives a clear graphical impact that makes me examine who are the other foes that I am happily allowing to stay as tenants inside me. This shall be my thought for the day and beyond today. Thanks Puttuji for the explanation of how pointless it is to be angry or hurt when everyone and everything is made of the same energy. But I think treating hurt and happiness with equipoise is the hardest part of my spiritual journey. I am working on it for sometime, but do not seem to progress much. I offer my deep prayers at my Sadguru’s feet and acknowledge that this message is packed with blessing and power to help me work through this phase.

Jaya Guru Datta, Sri Guru Datta, Om Namo Hanumathea Namaha.

Jaya Guru Datta

Anger has an immediate effect on your body. Your blood pressure,heart rate and breathing rate increase,If anger is in an uncontrolled manner, your health is badly affected.

Sri Appaji has gives various valuables tips such as Yoga, Meditation, music and Bhajans to stay away from anger.

Sri Guru Datta OM Namo Hanumate Namaha

Jaya Guru Datta,

Excellent lesson for me today, from morning and until i have viewed “Anger is a foe” MMS, I was in angry on a person. The day was not at all good with anger. After listening and viewing the video, all my anger disappeared and filled with JOY.
The presentation (message, song, music, color, pictures) was excellent. Will work on developing forgiveness.

JGD. I believe Swamiji also said that anger is a result of our own ego-based willfulness. And here Swamiji’s will is that we learn to be free from anger and be full of forgiveness. Oh Swamiji, I pray that “Thy will be done!” JGD.

Puttuji, You are great for bringing us these beautiful messages with clear explanations of the meaning and how we can put these teachings into practice in our daily lives. Our Sadgurudeva is our best example for equipoise and a permanently balanced mind. So happy to see this video. Thank you for blessings us with it. Jaya Guru Datta

jaigurudatta appaji you are true if we get anger we loose our voice then it will transfer to another person he will also lose his temper then both are become anymies we must always control our angry and should forgive if other will say bad word simplely do chant om namo hanumathe namah then hanuman will control you

jai gurudev datta appaji your teachings always help us to live on earth thank you puttuji

Appaji, it takes a lot of patience to inculcate this within ourselves. I am trying hard and I have been fairly successful. But, I still have a long way to go, because sometimes, I find myself surrendering to anger. Though your lessons hit my mind when am failing, some how, this anger takes better of me. Bless me Appaji with the strength to push away any thought that is anti to your teachings.

The moment your thought comes to my mind, I become peaceful instantly. I find myself very easily letting go of things and people that have caused me pain and hurt. It has done a lot of good to me, made me healthy in mind and in body. I pray to you to help me maintain this Inner Peace by practising forgiveness. JGD!

Jayta Guru Datta…In my life Sri Swamiji`s music has made me a better person.in all the fields…It is so powerful whole body becomes light and tears of gratitude & HAPPINESS ROLLS DOWN…He Has given a new dimension to my life ..Appaji I LUV YOu..& YOUR DIVINE MUSIC…Thanx

Jaya Guru Datta Appaji. Thanks for the nice explanation of the meaning of the message and the bhajan. Like they say To err is human but to forgive is divine, not getting angry when someone makes a mistake is difficult. I need to learn how to remember today’s message and practice it. I tend to forget that getting angry also affects my own well-being, Please Bless us Satguru Deva. Sri Guru Datta.

JGD Appaji – Give us strength to overcome anger and give us courage us to forgive everyone – SGD

JGD.In Telugu proverb it says “your Anger is your Enemy”.In Kriya Yoga Appaji says your Anger spends your Breaths.Why waste Valuable Life in Mundane things Turn your emotion of Anger as towards God.Thisnot only increases yourlingivity butbrings us more close to God.Jgd.

Jai Guru Datta

Jai Guru Datta Swamiji!
This musical message brings to my mind the popular phrase, “To err is human, to forgive divine.”
The “Mother” in the message reminds me that She is always loving unconditionally and always
forgives Her child. She is an example (as Swamiji is) of unconditional love. This is the nature of
divine love.
As our relationship to the Guru deepens, we face the challenges of confronting “the human nature”.
It is not always easy, but with perseverance, we will succeed.
Sri Guru Datta, With Love, Vishali

JGD Appaji! Why do I forget this again and again? Thank you for reminding me. I can feel it burning now in me, like heat waves. Giving way to one’s anger is really self-destructive. I pray to You and Lord Shiva to burn away this anger with the underlying ego! SGD

Jaya guru datta
Thank u Appaji for your wonderful MMS and please gide us to implement that in our life.
Sri guru datta.

Jaya Guru Datta

Thank you puttuji for the MMS video and superb explanation about it.
Before coming to Pujya Guru Deva, i used to get angry and irritated very often, but after being in association with Pujya Guru Deva, compassion has overtaken anger. Now, looking back i laugh at myself, how for small things we get angry and loose our mental balance.

Thank you Puttuji for this MMS and your elaborate comment. There is not much more to add.
In anger we don’t only hurt others and ourselves too, anger isolates us also, as shown in the cute picture, while forgiveness unites us not only with the other person, but also with our inner Being, in other words with the Almighty and brings us to inner peace.
Which great impact forgiveness can have, I could witness many times in the hospital, specially with dying patients. When it was possible for them to forgive deeply to people, they had been in conflict for might be long years… or felt hatred towards somebody…. the patients felt happy and at inner peace… as they had have bucked off a heavy burden, realizing only then, that this frozen or open conflict which once started with anger, had blocked so much of their energy. The felt peace and release helped them to open up more for new experiences, also for spirituality. Mostly they could let go of their body much easier afterwards.
War is nourished by greed, anger, hate… – seperative qualities – whereas forgiveness originates and results in peace, uniting – not only in mind, but also in the body. So it is obvious that how we act and react as individuals will have an important impact on the society – in far range influencing also peace and war.
The beautiful and happy tunes of the Bhajan “Sakaladhara rupini tum”, invoking lightness and happiness, will help us to chaise away rising anger and bring us to equipoise again.
Struggling in commenting this MMS, also this time I experience how we get much more of the abundance of these short messages.
Thank you Puttuji ! Jaya Guru Datta

జయ గురు దత్త,అప్పాజీ !

For very many ills, ANGER is the cause. Humility is the answer!. Association with Sadguru Deva is the medicine to control this and the other Arishadvargas. Every one of these messages from Pujya Sadguru Deva is a gem. All these truths are known to us already. There is really nothing new. But, when Pujya Appaji states the same, it has a lasting impact on us. It reinvigorates our commitment to follow these age-old truths. The video, Appaji’s bhajan in the background are further inspiring to an individual, to follow the dharmic principles. Jaya Ho Guru Datta.

Uncontrolled anger destroys every possible good thing around us, because we are not in our senses when we are angry and will for sure hurt others or commit sin, that could be avoided by calm and composed behaviour. Forgiveness is difficult to follow but will definitely bless us with friends. May lord bless us all with forgiveness for others mistakes, like we do for ours.
