Beautiful MMS when Appaji is in Dallas !! Sri Guru Datta !!

JGD. Dear Appaji, When I saw this MMS i got wonderstruck. During my prayer yesterday, I was wondering your role in my life. I was imagining how life would be when YOU were not in my life. The devotion and belief which we have on you, exactly saying the faith and devotion which you cultivated in our mind transformed to a fearless life. Whatever life situation is, we think Appaji is there, lets do whatever I can, remaining he will take care. That kind of faith is the great support in ones life and that is the greatest blessing or boon one can have it.

The Gopikas were leading a simple life but they were so joyful with the presence of Lord Krishna in their life. One can’t get into falsehood of relating their external wealth/status with the devotion.

If there is no belief and devotion to GOD or Guru, however wealth and great social status you have, it can’t give you the happiness or joy.

If you have to conquer the faith and belief of so many human beings how great you should be.

Fear is always about losing something, is it not? Is it not rooted in attachment? Fear of losing wealth, health, beauty, relationships, reputation, a sane mind, fond possessions, a desired activity, and of course life? Yet all these are impermanent. Even the greatest souls have suffered losses. Rama, Nala Maharaja, and Yudhishthira lost their kingdoms and luxurious lifestyles. They and even Lord Krishna became subjects of criticism. They all have had to give up their physical bodies. What I would fear most is loss of devotion towards my Sadgurudeva. That I hold as most precious. I pray fervently that my faith and devotion ever increase and my faith get stronger. Jaya Guru Datta

Jaya Guru Datta,
Every year just before the rainy season, the people of Vrindavan made elaborate preparations to perform a yagna in honor of Indra, the god of rain. Krishna asked his father why not worship the cows who give milk. Or the river Yamuna whose waters are used for so many purposes?
These questions of Krishna raised doubts in the minds of these simple folk about their custom. Seeing the truth in Krishna’s words that year the people of Vrindavan worshipped their cows, there river Yamuna and Mt. Govardhan.
Indra, the god of rain, became very angry and decided to teach them a lesson. Rain came down in a continuous torrent. The sky turned black and fear came to the bravest of souls. The children and the animals were frozen with cold. It rained and rained. People feared they had incurred the wrath of the Rain God. They turned to Krishna for help.
Krishna asked everyone to come to the base of Mt. Govardhan. Having implicit faith in his powers, they obeyed instantly. Krishna lifted the great Mt. Govardhan and held it by the little finger of his left hand. He asked everyone to take shelter under it. For seven days and nights the rains did not stop.
Indra was puzzled. He could not see any dead body. He came to investigate on his white elephant along with Kamadhenu, the celestial cow. Seeing Krishna holding Mt. Govardhan he came to his senses. Ashamed of his arrogance, he realized his mistake. Indra bow down in front of Krishna, begged his pardon. His elephant poured the holy waters of Ganga on Krishna. Kamadhenu, the celestial cow whose one drop of milk could satisfy all the desires of humans showered Krishna with her milk. She was ecstatic because Krishna had saved the cows and calves from Indra’s wrath.
Indra stopped the rains at once. The sun shone brightly once more. It soon dried the soggy earth. The cowherds and Krishna returned to their houses which had been restored by Krishna’s maya.
I like this beautiful story from Krishnaleela. The people of Vrindavan were having so much faith in Krishna and overcame fear – that way Krishna was protecting them again and again.
Sri Guru Datta

Today being Guruvayoor Ekadasi, Appaji has given a very apt MMS and that to in Malayalam language also.The famous Temple for lord Krishna is in Guruvayoor , Kerala. Moreover the melodies Bhajan on Lord Krishna is also very nice. Puttuji as you said, Appaji’s the smiling kindness face itself is enough to remove all our fear and lead to the path of devotion. Here I remember Appaji’s words saying that, He is always with the people who are purely in the devotional path. Where devotion is there, the fear if anything will automatically disappear. To develop the devotion , we have to follow Appaji’s words and teachings in the spiritual path. Once you are in His grip, there is no chance for any fear. Here I have got my own experience in 2001 in a perticular incident which I cannot forget in my life. I even remember here Appaji’s old Bhajan Ambha Bhavani sarade in Raga Shanmukapriya is especially for fear.Appaji’ is playing this in His healing music concert also. Thank you Appaji for giving such a wonderful MMS today. JGD.

Jai Guru Datta !!

Datta devotees have only Devotion. I Surrender and seek Appaji’s blessings to practice Nishkamya Bhakti.
Why Fear when Sadgurudeva remains in our hearts !!

Sri Guru Datta !!

Om Namo Hanumathe Namaha.

JGD. Sometimes it’s a choice i have to make that is very simple: be afraid or FTR? Several years ago my dad taught me FTR and it is the best mantra. Faith in the Guru, Trust in the Guru, Rely on the Guru.

Wow! Every concert on the 25th Anniversary tour has been amazing! This week at the Karya Siddhi Hanunman Temple, Sri Swamiji was talking about the pancha jnanendriyas and pancha karmendriyas. On two nights He mentioned this subject and instructed us to surrender our sense experiences to God. Tonight, at the beginning of the last Raga, He said it was about “how Krishna felt….” Suddenly, the hall of that small Allen, Texas high school became the battlefield of the Bhagavad Gita and one could hear the hooves of the horses thundering across the ground, one could feel Krishna’s power, strength, confidence and wisdom in the thunderous keys Sri Swamiji was playing….What better way to bring home His lesson on the senses then to “become” Krishna himself in the notes of this incredible raga–how could we be afraid when we are surrounded by such majesty!

Jaya Guru Datta! In the last 6 weeks, because of a specific situation, I had fears about the future. On one side, I accepted and surrendered to what had happened, knowing that everything is good from the spiritual point of vue (being a lesson, a teaching or a reaction due to past deeds). But on the other side I was depressive and had fears about what might happen later. Arrogantly, I did not doubt about my devotion, I „only“ thought that I was lacking faith in life and not trusting enough.
One week ago, by Guru’s grace and with some energetical work through a therapist, something in me got released. Those fears simply disappeared. Already in the following days, I was blessed with unexpected positive events!!!
Now I realise that, in reality, my devotion was insufficient, an inner obstacle prevented me to be fully open for it. As soon as this obstacle was worked out, devotion could increase, and the fears vanished. Thanks to this beautiful MMS I have realised my mistake and learned a precious lesson.
May I be, from now on, constantly full of true devotion and not repeat this behaviour in any other difficult situation in the future. May we, all devotees, be full of true devotion!
With much much much gratitude, dear Appaji! SGD

Appaji just being fearless once surrendered it a true gift. But we want all things so we always fear for not doing correctly. So please bless us for being fearless.
Sri guru Datta

JGD. I found what is true devotion.Since the MMS appeared this is my 5th attempt to post a comment.This is the 5th version.Tenacity is th first qualification of Devotion.Appaji Jaya Guru Datta.

Jai Guru Datta! In the path of true devotion everything is in Sadguru’s hands. Only His will is done. There is no room for any fear anymore. “God has created you and this world with love.” How can there be fear? May all fears be rooted out with our Sadguru’s grace. Koti pranams again and again

Jaya Guru Datta! We’ve heard Sri Swamiji say many times in the past that one should be fearless. It’s clear from the message that as long as I have fear, it indicates a lack of complete devotion. If this world is a projection of the mind, then any fear that’s caused by the world around is born in our own minds. The fear of death is also unreal because the soul has no death. Reading, analyzing, recollecting and internalizing Sri Swamiji’s messages will help us understand His teachings. This combined with complete faith in our Sathguru and Sathguru alone will help us develop untainted devotion towards our Sathguru. This is so much easier said than done. Based on this message, I also realize that I could use fearlessness as one of the gauges as I continue to nurture my devotion towards Swamiji. None of this will be possible without the Sathguru’s grace. Obeisances to the Holy Lotus Feet!

It is good to know that a Devotee must be afraid of nothing. He knows that our Sadguru has come to destroy all bad things. He helps us to find a good life-style (sattvic). He teaches us to have always trust in God. You are no more alone. Jaya Guru Datta

jgd in Shri Ram charita manasa; Sri Ram and Shabari discuss about the nine types of devotions. 1st one is ‘pratham bhakti santan kar sangaa’ O! my holy Saint i am in Your holy company learning and practicing the rest of the nine types of devotions under Your protection and discipline that makes the fear run away (the darkness disappears with the first flame of the smallest candle) i thank You for showing me the path onhn sgd

Jai Guru Datta dear Appaji thank for this reassuring message that The Lord takes care of us! Always!..as my doubts erode, let me abide in the fearless state of Devotion… Om Namo Hanumate Namah

Jain Guru Datta, it is so true. We are constantly under your protection, we will not be afraid.
Pranam Guru Deva

JGD Appaji
Why fear when Appaji here! When we know He is there no matter what, we wont have any fear.
Let us increase our devotion more and more, and truly experience this.
