When the mother in her immense love, has taken pains to create her children, she will also take pains to shape them up. Such is her feeling of ownership
Pranams Mathruswaroopa Sathgurudeva!
We’re dolls (bommalu) in your hands. Please care for us.. We don’t have to ask you for this, because you’re not just the one who cares for the dolls. You’re the one who gives them shape
How many roles you play for our welfare.. As gardener you trim our attitude (MMS 33). As Purifier you clean up our mind (MMS 84). As chauffeur you take us on the highway to liberation (MMS 108). As a Chef, you give us the taste of God (MMS 114). As a dietician you advise us to eat simple food (MMS 118). And now as Carpenter, you shape our minds.
We’re awed by the many roles you play. We’re awed at being fortunate to receive so much care & attention from you. We’re awed at how powerful these one minute messages are, when it comes to shaping our minds! Jaya Guru Datta. Your Puttuji.
Iyam cet bhakti bhavena pathyate sruyate thava

Millions of humble prostrations to the lotus feet of Mathruswaroopa Sathgurudeva !!
Jaya Guru Datta! Om Ikararupayai Namaha! Since Dallas, I have been thinking about the presentation on the research that is being done on Swamiji’s music and how beneficial it is. I marveled at the results of the brain imaging that demonstrated what Swamiji has told us all along about how these ancient ragas affect the brain and nervous system. This morning, with these beautiful mantras and kaleidoscopic images, you remind us again of the power of sound to shape and form. Your music, your bhajans, your beautifully resonant voice reach into the very deepest parts of our minds, and like metal filings on a plate in a cymatics experiment, your sounds reshape our thoughts, creating patterns that allow us to perceive higher ways of being, the divine in all, and to fulfill our greatest potential! Om Aim Hreem Shreem Shiva Rama Anagha Dattaya Namaha!
Jaya Guru Datta. Each piece of wood is unique. It is hard or pliable, has blemishes and knots. Only a master craftsman knows how to work with that specific piece of wood and transform it from its raw state into a work of beauty that is the reflection of the Master. Just like the seed that grows into a tree and becomes a beautifully carved work of art, we come from the Source. We take birth, seek nourishment to grow, weather the storms, bear fruit and return once again to the Source. Only the fortunate ones come in contact with the Master Sadguru who sees beauty and divinity in every piece of wood. We are so blessed to be in the hands of our beloved Sri Swamiji, the most skillful Master of all! Pranams to your Lotus feet, dear Appaji!! SGD.
What a delicate work! What a long lasting work! What a precise work! How much patience, compassion and love YOU are showering in order to complete this huge work with each one of us! Delicately YOU remove one by one the disturbances until our minds reach their perfect beauty: purity, peace, light. Please bless me with the ability to surrender completely to YOUR work, dear Appaji! In deep deep deep gratitude that I am among YOUR fortunate devotees. JGD
Just today I had such an experience. Swamiji gives some experiences in the life, from this I can learn and so He is shaping my mind. More and more I understand different things and like this a begin to change my actions. All that helps that I will be more happy, more silent in me, with a better health and so on. This all is possible, because my mind will be shaped by my Guru.
Jaya GUru Datta. Great message, Great video. Thelugu Bhajan is beautiful. But can’t undersatnd. Pranams Swamiji. VERY TRUE. Guruji gives us the Sdhbhuddhi & so much knowledge. Everyfday just with these One a day word of wisdom, are changing our daily life, attitude, behaviour of us all. We are so grateful to our Pujya Swamiji. Pranams Swamiji.Bless us all Swamiji, we pray.
Koti Kotii Pranams to divine lotus feet of Pujya Swamiji. Om Shivaya Guruvae namaha. Shree Guru Datta. Om namo Hanumathae namaha.
No pain, no gain is what I should keep in mind always. Many times I have felt pain while giving pain to others by pointing out their errors, especially while raising children. They complained, no doubt. Yet, it was done with a good intention. It resulted in improvement of their skills and attitudes. How much pain Sadgurudeva must be suffering for putting us through the grind, for our own improvement and betterment! It is such a difficult task, loving though it may be. How patiently he toils, giving us the least bit of pain possible, taking upon himself all the effort and care, using all his skill and knowledge of what we are and what our future potential is! Thank you for your untiring efforts, Swamiji. Please forgive me for the times when I have complained of my pains, not recognizing your pains and toils for my sake. I love you. Jaya Guru Datta
Jaya Guru Datta. Dearest Mother Sri Swamiji, You are Lord Shiva, Mother Goddess and Jesus Christ, the Carpenter. It is through love of You that any religion may be understood and appreciated. Before You I thought Hinduism, Islam and Christianity were just fairy tales… Now I only see You. You are the fisher of men and the carpenter. You found me, I am on your hook, now let me have patience and faith to trust that you are molding me into a better person. I love you, I love you, I love you. Sri Guru Datta
Jgd. Thanku Gurudeva…_/\_
Jai Guru Datta! We are so lucky to be in the association of the divine carpenter, our Sadgurudeva! With our daily practise His work may be easier. Anyway we have to deserve HIS grace, so our own effort is important. And only His grace gives the desired result. Koti pranams to Sadgurudeva’s divine feet

JGD Appaji – Beautiful example also this MMS helps us to understand how our Guru looks after you every time and everywhere when you follow him. We sincerely trust Appaji and leave everything to him and sleep without any tension – SGD
what beautiful song Swamiji!
jaya guru datta appaji ! This is a very nice & wondeful MMS ! Sri Guru Datta !
JGD.Wood carving is the most skillful work on the part of a carpenter.A minute diversion shall have a major impact,changing the efforts of him in shaping the desired formation.So also in shaping the mind of a saadaka by the Guru,through various ways and means,as Our APPAJI does in our case,through various upadesas and practices including healing methods.Our Sadgurudeva have shaped even the worst of the minds to its usefulness,a wonder unsung,unnoticed,unpublished,but silently at all venues.SGD
The mind has got a very important role in our life. It is a Root for shaping our life in all respects. That is why Appaji is reminding and reminding through His various MMS about the role of the mind. Once we are able to Drive our mind, we can reach in the path of liberation. But it is not so easy unless we develop the spiritual path through our Sadguru. It is more or less like how a Master is teaching the student to drive a car or a bus or what ever may be. At the first stage he never allow the student to drive the car independentally. Only by stage by stage he will allow to drive the car and see that you have learned completely. Similarly here Appaji through His various MMS, tellingus how to control and drive our mind. Of course for which we have to follow His words and teachings for the growth of the spiritual path. Therefore in this kaiyuga and in the busy schedule of our day today life, we should spend sometime to develop our spiritual path also for which Appaji has given so many ways and methods . It is up to us to make use of the same properly. Therefore Appaji we got your concept and follow your teachings and develop the spiritual path and through that we control our mind also. JGD.
JGD. I really wonder how people after being part of Datta family got changed over a period thoughtwise, attitudewise due to Appaji’s Grace, sometimes the the change process may be quite painful as Doctor gives bitter medicine to cure fatal diseases in the same way Sadguru gives us treatment to the extent the Devotee could bear and takes away all his Karma’s gradually. Thank God we are all in safe hands. Every bit of pain has its reason which clears past karma. We should Appaji to help us Strengthen to experience all our Dushkarmas.
Jaya Guru Datta

Jaya guru datta Appaji!
Jaya Guru Datta! No one works as hard as the Guru does. He works tirelessly on all beings so He can take us with Him towards liberation. He patiently puts up with our doubts, refusals, questions and rejections and continues to work on us to make is fit to receive God’s grace. I know that the changes in my thinking would have been impossible without the grace of Sri Swamiji. Sri Swamiji plays multiple roles in our lives. His invisible footprints exist in my parents’ love, my education, my upbringing, my interactions with friends and relatives, my work and in my everyday life. Sathgurudeva is the master carpenter who can work on all beings at the same time, never ignoring one for another, never showing bias for any reason whatsoever. Please bless me Swamiji so I always remember that everything that happens – good or bad as the mind perceives – is solely Your grace and for my learning. Obeisances at the Holy Lotus Feet!
Jaya Guru Datta Puttuji,
Beautiful MMS message. I love this bhajan lyrics.
Every moment we have to be thankful to Sri Swamiji for taking care of us and shaping us to be better human beings. Without even us knowing, Sri Swamiji in the background is taking care of us 24/7, what else can we ask for in this life. Thank you Appaji for making us part of Datta Family.

Carefully chiseling out our negative, egoistic thinking patterns till our minds reveal the perfectly clear form reflecting God. Mantras, Nada Brahma, Kriya Yoga, Vedanta, Puja, Seva, kind words, beautiful smile, divine touch, Nandana SGS MMS – Divine Love Sadguru uses so many ways to guide us on our path.

Jaya Guru Datta
Just in these days i feel strongly the carving knife of Sri Swamiji. So many lessons can be learned through Him. New horizons appear where old boundaries and believes are simply not valid anymore. The ego plays a less and lesser role. All the new is built on faith in Sri Swamiji. Lord Hanuman is guiding us. Thank You so much, Sri Swamiji, for your constant effort and love to all of us.
Sri Guru Datta
Om Namo Hanumate Namah
Praise to my Gurudeva../Gurudeva datta…/
Let me be always aware of how lovingly and carefully you are carving me and thus making me aware of our unlimited abilities and our nature of being always in happiness. Thankyou Swamiji../
Om Namo Hanumate Namaha../
Jaya Guru Datta.Any one can overcome the hurdles in life if he is able to condition his mind .The chief concern of Sadguru is to train His disciples to cultivate detachment by impressing on them that problems have to be faced ,and what God has ordained shall take place ,though a few may try to feel they can circumvent the course of event by their ingenuity .By securing the advice of Sadguru one will be able to develop tolerance . While taking the disciples the Guru may put mettle to test behaving at times seemingly harsh but this is intended to make them stand the trials ,treating pleasure and pain alike .With out any doubt the Sishya has to follow his Guru by doing what all He advices. He is the captain of our life ship. Ultimately a sishya can repay his debt of gratitude to his Guru ,though his services cannot be adequately compensated ,by adhering to the norms set by Him and upholding His words.
When I look into myself about my progress I notice phenomenal changes in mine .I am quite and silent, when troubles knock my door , silently meditate the Gurumantra putting all my faith on Him ,reading good literature ,listening to good music ,Satsang ,visiting ashram at leisure and a lot more. All these changes are brought in me by His Holiness Sri Swamiji for which I am grateful always to Swamiji for taking all these pains of moulding the thoughts and behaviour of mine. Jaya Guru Datta.
JAYA GURU DATTA
Please shape my mind GURU DEVA , Koti Kotii Pranams to divine lotus feet of Pujya Swamiji.

Jai Guru Datta Appaji! An amazing bhajan just melts the heart away with its music and meaning.
Irrespective of our millions of flaws and our Karmic History (Sanchita Karmas), we genuinely aspire to be your instruments, your inanimate dolls – waiting to be shaped by you to fulfill your mission and Serve Your Lotus Feet. There is no other desire in life… there is no other reason for life!
Pujya Gurudeva -Amma- Please bless us to be your instruments always! Sri Guru Datta.
Jaya Guru Datta! Sri Guru Datta !
Thank you Appaji .

There is nothing more permanent than movement. The kaleidoscope shows it beautifully !
With its multi-colours it shows me the variety of universe.
In this respect it is one of the best symbols of life to me.
Let`s follow the movement … a cheerful animation !
Jai Guru Datta Swamiji!
Om Aim Hrim Srim Siva Rama Anagha Dattaya Namah
Om Namoh Hanumate Namah
Shatakoti humble pranamams to the lotus feet of Sri Swamiji!
Sri Guru Datta Swamiji!
The audio track used in this video is so apt for this message. All living beings are struggling for inner peace and happiness because we are not complete we are struggling to be complete. Who else can mould our minds to this path other than God Himself. Carpentry is a skilled work, similarly moulding a person is tough job which needs lot of skill, energy, patience and forgiveness for all the mistakes committed by us with or without our knowledge. May lord bless us all to be in our life to guide and mould our minds.
JGD Appaji
Appaji, Your divine hands must be tired with the amount of chiseling you need to do on me. And as the most compassionate mother You are also making sure I am not in pain.. what can I say about Your Love Appaji, I have no words…Infinite Pranams to You! Love You Appaji..
