Purpose in Life ~ 18 July 2012

Jaya Guru Datta

APPAJI’S voice, music, message and pictures mesmerized me to enjoy the nature even sitting between four walls.

If everyone in this world followed this there would not be inequalities. The world would be much better place to live in. Srisailam is a special place in Andhra Pradesh state which has a famous shakti Peetham of Bhramarambika and a famous jyotirlinga ofSiva in the form of Mallikarjuna. This divine place holds special significance in the life history of Sri Swamiji. The rare picture of Sri Swamiji showing hands is very appropriate for the quote. The animation of the little bee is also a good start. The bhajan Ehi Pahi Mohan Dahi has a thought provoking tune in Vakulabharanam raga. All these aspects come together in making this beautiful MMS. Thank you Puttuji.

“Our purpose in life is to help others”. This message of Sri Swamiji is a ‘Life Changing’ message! Many of us wonder what the purpose of ones life is. Here is the answer!!! Thank you Appaji!

Yet, when someone helps you, one is astounded. We as a human race are far too self centered. May we all change for the better. jgd

Jaya guru datta Appaji all his beloved Datta family members,
These days we often forget the basics of life e.g Being good and doing good.It is morally best to have a leader to lead the people into the right direction and right time.Ups and down are common for a human being,it is required to stay consistent and believe the path of guru.Thank you for this opportunity for sharing my thoughts.JGD.

Yes puttuji…paropakaaraarthamidam shariram….that is what appaji doing for mankind

Jaya Guru Datta
Appaji – This is a Beautiful Message and Reminder. You have always said it is “How did you help the others and is the success of your life?” You have given so many opportunities to us to serve others by establishing mobile hospitals, annadanam at the ashram, establishing Vedic and regular schools for the children, donating money, clothes and food to the areas affected by natural disasters. You always insisted the seva should be done without asking for glory or recognition or rewards (Nishkama Karma).
The video depicts a bee which is best suited for this quote. The bee collects the nectar from the flowers and makes the honey, but when a human steals the honey comb, the bee starts a new honey comb. The bee’s work to gather the nectar is just disrupted temporally. The bee is the perfect example of Nishkama karma. Bee is one of the twenty four (24) Gurus of Dattatreya.
Om Namo Hanumatee Namaha

JGD “Others” means also animals, plants, nature and this wonderful world which we have the honor to inhabit. Thank you Swamiji for the reminder! SGD

Jaya Guru Datta Sri Appaji: your blessings to us today is reminding about our purpose in life. You stated this in simple words and showing that subtle expression saying ‘what do you think about this proposal?’. You followed this with Mother Bhramarambika’s innate qualities in a very picturesque representation of the bee; this was very pretty. Your love for us Appaji you showed through the very mesmerizing bhajan in the glory of the Mother. Sri Guru Datta.

Jaya Guru Datta Appaji,

Being under Pujya Guru Deva’s guidence and doing guru seva we are blessed.
A simple smile to a stranger can make his day, words of good moral to weak can boost his confidence, helping hand to a needy can make his life…. such simple actions can add lot of meaning not only to our life but also others. Thank you Appaji for this GEM, we will safe gaurd this in our heart and follow the instructions.

Sri Guru Datta

Jaya Guru Datta

Time and again our beloved APPAJI is telling us to do help to others but we are doing nothing. Through this video H.H. is reminding once again the noble sentence of ‘Paropakaarartham midam sareeram’. H.H. is the one and only example for that by establishing different social activities like free medical services, annadanam, helping the school children etc. Recently we started doing some service through ‘Share your food’ but its nothing. Being H.H. followers we all should take oath to do help others in all situations till our life ends. Thanq Appaji.
Sree Guru Datta

Jaya Guru Datta

Wonderful message. Thank you Appaji.

Sri Guru Datta

very beautiful and peaceful message. The bee is so sweet and in its work and dedication the best example to show what is dedication and helping. And to remind us, that we all are a part of the whole ONE and the nature of the ONE is showing the natural flow in this helping, working hand in hand with everything. The ocean and the coast shape also hand in hand. The nature pictures and the Nada with Appajis dib^vine voice takes us very deep into this reality. JGD so much thanks from heart!

Nishkamyakarma is to nischita moksha,honey,a no expirydate material from the nature through the brahmari is the visual example of it.O!Appaji,you are alone our mentor.JGD.

puttuji jaigurudatta we are very happy to hearing our appaji’s nandana mms

Für diesen Tagesbotschaft eine wunderbar treffende Bildzusammenstellung. Vorn das Gras (grün = reich) von dem aus der Betrachter in eine Welt der inneren Wüste (links) und rechts der aufgewühlten Emotionen im Äußeren schaut. Davor im Außen (rechts) die bittende Person. Und jetzt die Aufforderung an den sich im Reichtum befindenden Betrachter (hinter dem grünen Gras) anderen zu helfen.
Am Schluß der Flug über eine karge Wüstenlanschaft = wir nehmen aus einem erhöhten Bewußtsein die Kargheit unter uns und in uns (Links die Felswand) wahr. Gleichzeitig wissen wir um unseren äußeren(rechts) / inneren Reichtum in Form der überreich geschmückten Göttin.
Mögen wir diesen Tag nutzen können, um anderen zu helfen, um damit unseren Lebenszweck weiter zu verinnerlichen.

For these Days-message a wonderfully telling picture compilation. Forward the grass (green = rich) from which the viewer looks of into a world of inner desert (left) and right of the turbulent emotions on the outside. Prior to that outside (right) the pleading person. And now the call to the richness in befinde beholder (behind the green grass) to help others!
At the end the flight over a barren desert landscape = we perceive from an increased awareness of the harshness of us and in us (the left rock wall). At the same time we are aware of our outer (right) / inner wealth in the form of the rich ornate goddess.
May we use this day to help others in order to internalize our life’s purpose continues.

Jaya Guru Datta Swamiji,
Om Namo Hanumathe Namaha

Your Lordship’s upadesha and adesha.
Bramara keetaka nyayam, protect the nature

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

jgd. All should undertand this and follow swamiji s message.

Yesterday at a kriya yoga class when asked “Who are you?” the student replied that he was a servant of God.
Truly when Appaji’s grace is with us and he allows us to serve it brings the greatest joy.
Datta Swami is serving us too much through his instruments and bringing music and messages for us to begin each day in His Divine and Holy company.
Jaya Guru Datta

Jaya Guru Datta! Truly a beautiful reminder to all of us… thank you Appaji.

Jaya Guru Datta, the small bubbles of light remind me that our life here is very fleeting and before it is over we should try to help others regardless of whether the help is appreciated or not. The wheel reminds us that time is going, and Devi or Satguru is the only permanent Energy who is seeing and recording our thoughts, words, and deeds. Therefore we should be watchful and try to serve others like our Satguru! He gives us so many chances to serve, we have to be thankful to Him!

jai guru datta sri ganapathe sachchidananadasadgurbyonamah om namo hanumathe namah jaya rama sri rama jayajayarama

Swamiji is just reminding each one of us to serve others – what he has been doing all through his life. His life and actions are the biggest messages to mankind.

JAYA GURU DATTA……..ITS VERY NICE TO SEE AND ALSO TO REMIND THE DUTY OF EVERYONE……SERVICE IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL FOR EVERYONE

Jaya Guru Datta! Aiming at deserving to attain moksha one far day as the main purpose in life is most probably tainted by ego (as I can say for myself). Since it is a desire, it is selfish. Helping others as the purpose in life is very favourable because it emphasizes the universal brotherhood. But we have to be aware that even here, selfishness may be involved. I try to perform true seva by not looking at the results / reward, yet I find it difficult because these thoughts still crop up in me sometimes. This also includes the selfish thought that by doing such ‘selfless’ seva, Sadguru will be happy with me. I beg Sadgurudeva to continue to support me in rooting out this ego. Om namo hanumate namah!

JGD Thataji!

JGDD Appaji…may You continue to use me as an instrument of Your love, serving each of Your children on Earth each day…SGDD

Jaya Guru Datta

Very beautifully sung by our Appaji. Very basic moral of our life is once again Taught to us by our sadgurudeva. He is giving us knowledge and making us realize morals,for our and society upliftment.

JGD It is a privilege to share and help others in any way I can.Thank you Swamiji for reminding me to share and help others.
Om Namo Hanumate Namaha

Thanks for the beautiful video and this beautiful yet a subtle message..
Inspite of seeing the practitioner of this fundamental truth in our Pujya Appaji, we often miss this adage/commandment and overlook the small thread that is critical to the ultimate social wellbeing of the society. Praying His holiness to continue to guide us and live this purpose even in the miniscule way possible…(Ehi Pahi..music, as always, is soothening.. Instilling the feeling of thankfulness for the grace He has been showering on all of us…

Sree Guru Datta,
Phani & Ritu.

Worth full message for purposeful life. Beautiful video.

Jaya Guru Hanuman, Amazing message which explains our dharma in the simplest terms. The key is to understand why we should help others. In the childhood days we are totally dependent on mother/father who sacrifice lot of things in raising us, our teachers in school bear our mischief patiently and impart knowledge to us, the food we eat comes from hard working farmers, the clothes we wear, the house we live is built by hard working masons, our Guru who enters our lives and lovingly bears our mischief and transforms us by leading us on the right path, forefathers/elders who have laid their lives in getting us freedom and who have helped develop the society by building roads/schools/colleges/hospitals, army/police/firefighters who constantly protect us etc………. We slowly realize that everything we are now is based on sacrifice and service of others……We are all interconnected, we cannot exist alone, we should not take everything for granted…….We should be grateful to everyone who have helped us to be here, who are helping us and who will be helping us…..As a gratitude it is our duty to help others….

Sri Swamiji’s life is a living example of selfless service in helping others. We should try to understand all the social projects that Datta Peetham is doing in helping others and participate in them. We should strive to help others and try to raise to the level of Sri Swamiji.

Om namo hanumate namaha

up to now i followed one of the first advices I heard/received from sri swamiji: «help yourself first». it was at the Vedanta course in london 2000 when He explained that somebody helping some one else but not being strong enough would make the whole pile break together – sri swamiji illustrated it with the image of one person taking on her shoulder the next person taking on her shoulder another person and so on. I understood that really helping others implies enough own inner strength, self-esteem, self-consciousness including the knowledge of one’s own possibilities and weaknesses, and that this has to be developed first as the foundation of being able to help others. Helping will then come naturally from a sense of inner fulfilment and inner connection with sadguru. i hope to become more and more able to experience that great joy without feeling that I have done something. sometimes, for moments, I realise this flowing of a greater force with no difference between helping or being helped.

Helping others can sometimes be very frustrating, when the expected resonance lacks,
what to do then?
This soothing video helps me a lot, while contemplating over an unlucky situation in daily life.:
“Did I choose the right time? How was my behaviour? Did I perhaps have too high expectations?”
After this I make my decision “next time better…”
There are so many helpers in this video, all those shiny light points striving towards Shri Swamiji.
When they come to him, he will definitely help!
I have experienced it again and again ! Jai Guru Datta

we can’ t live without the help of others directly or indirectly. To help others let us think less of ourselfs and make us happy;Jai Guru datta.

Manava seva ye madava seva 🙂
Jai Guru Datta ……..
