{paropakara – benevolence, assisting others}
Oh Devi Ma ! All of nature (prakruti sarvambu), you wear as ornaments (mustaabu), in your cosmic universal form (viraat rupi)
Close your eyes and call out to D e v i ! alongwith Sathguru.. and feel her presence in your heart.. So soulful is Sathgurudeva’s rendering. Devi is everywhere.
Lakshmi Narassimha reminds us of the divinity resident in all things animate & inanimate. Such realization drives paropakara. How does divinity hoard from divinity?
All knowledge that Ma Saraswathi bestows upon us should be shared for the welfare of humanity.. much like the trees do. The fruits of their endeavour are shared with the universe at large. As they share, trees don’t shrink.. they multiply. Knowledge multiplies when shared.
Pranams Deviswaroopa Sathgurudeva!
Today we learn the virtue of selfless sharing, from trees. We’re seeing you practice this virtue everyday. We’re following you. Jaya Guru Datta. Your Puttuji.
Jai Guru Datta and Happy Dhanvantri Jayanthi Puttuji !!
Great MMS on Share your food day !! Our Dhanavantri Gurudeva, You’re the doctor for our body, mind & soul and gives love and wisdom through Divine MMS , we will follow You !! Sri Guru Datta !!
Jaya Guru Datta, Swamiji! As I read this comment this morning, I thought of Jayalakshmi Mata and of the acorns I gathered at Navaratri for planting. Jayalakshmi Mata understood the lessons of nature. She loved the forests and the river and all living things. The sadhus she encountered there taught her in those natural places. We are so fortunate that you are teaching us to look to the natural things around us, not only to respect, love and preserve them, but also to learn from them. As I gathered acorns at Navartri, I realized that the fruit from one tree alone could propagate a whole forest. Trees understand the role they play in protecting and preserving our world. Without them we would die, just as without knowledge we would be unable to survive. What good is knowledge if it only goes with us when we die! It must be shared. Thank you so much, Swamiji for sharing the knowledge that Jayalakshmi Mata gave you…we are truly blessed!
My first thought, when I read the text and saw the video: then Swamiji must be a tree! He gives always His fruits (music, speeches and others) to us, He never take something for Himself. My Swamiji is my tree which is alway near from me, also in big big storms!
Jaya Guru Datta
Dear Swami AVADHOTTA

Om Namo Hanumate Namah
Mein liebster SADGURU, wie grosszügig sie sind!
Gestern musste ich mich mit der Qualität Grosszügigkeit auseinandersetzen und heute schickst DU mir ein wunderbares Beispiel dafür.
DU bist mir auch in diesem Thema das allergrösste Vorbild.
Von Herzen danke ich und verneige mich vor DIR.
OM AIM HRIM SRIM SRI MAHA SARASVATYAI NAMAH
OM NARASIMHAYA NAMAH
Jai Guru Datta! Most beautiful our Sadgurudeva with the trees and most soulful His divine voice. Sadgurudeva came down to this earth only for the benefit of others. And giving giving giving, nothing but giving in abondance.”God gives gives gives and forgives…”
jgd God! You are Sri Ganapaty Sachchidananda Swami Ji benefiting the universe by bearing the fruits like Homa, Nama Sankirtana, Sookti Manjaris,Mantropadesha, Music Therapy for mental or physical ailments, Your compassionate glance works like shade of a tree to those who are suffering from pains, Your innocent smile gives confidence to those who feel they are lost in maya. Trees attract rains from clouds You attract grace of Shree Raj Rajeshwari Amma for all i thank You O! KALPA VRUKSHAA onhn sgd
Jaya Guru Datta! The very essence of Datta is giving. Datta means gift. Lord Datta, our Sathguru has gifted Himself to us, to our cleansing, our upliftment, our happiness and our liberation. “Paropakaaram idam shariram” goes an old Sanksrit saying – the purpose of this body is to benefit and help others. No doubt our Sathguru is a living embodiment of this giving. Mata Jayalakshmi trained baby Satyanarayana very early, questioning Him about what the point was of an action if it didn’t benefit another being. Every act of Sathgurudeva is for the benefit of some (or all) devotees. This message gives the example of a tree that bears fruits for others. The tree doesn’t eat its own fruit, yet it survives even in difficult conditions and bears delicious fruit. Our Sathgurudeva grew up in difficult conditions bereft of love and comfort that every child needs, had no money or food, yet is the biggest giver that ever walked on earth. Each small move, every big action of Sri Swamiji is to help or uplift someone. Please bless us Sathgurudeva to always remember this and not to base our giving on our ego or on the gratitude of the recipient.
Trees are part of nature, are source of energy for all of us and few plants are of medicinal value too. But this message conveys the nature of helping others. All of us should surely learn the quality of helping others always and be humble along with our merits. Amazing message to be implemented in day to day life to be a good human. May lord bless us all with qualities like that of tree, extending helping hand and humble always.
Jaya Guru Datta,
may I learn from the tree and become generous and big-hearted.
Thank you for everything, dear Puttuji.

How nice to be a little fruit on the big tree of Sathgurudeva! Sri Swamiji is constantly helping and supporting all of us. He gives us a wonderful example. In MMS 49 he tells us: Our
purpose in life is to help others. Here we can add: and to benefit others.
Sri Guru Datta
Om Narasimhaya Namah

Jaya Guru Datta! What a great role model indeed are these trees. May this quality be imbibed more and more in me and all my sisters and brothers. Sri Guru Datta!.

My Humble Pranamams to YOUR Lotus Feet.
Om Sri Narasimhaya Namah.

Om Namo Hanumate Namah.
Jai Guru Datta, you are such an exemplary teacher Gurudev. We will abide by your example and your teachings and will try to be like a fruit bearing tree.
Pranam Gurudev
Jai Guru Datta Appaji – A wonderful message for coming generations to learn from Nature and preserve the ecological balance! We will certainly walk in the footsteps of Swami Avadhoota Datta and learn the principles of ‘Nishkama Karma (desireless action and selfless service)’ from Trees (Nature).
Kabir (a famous poet) had described the Selfless giving nature of a tree as ‘a Blessed Creature that only gives you its most precious fruits, even if you hurl stones at it’.
Pujya Gurudeva – With your Compassionate blessings and Grace, I’m certain that we will reach that exalted state. Forever grateful!
Sri Guru Datta!
According to me Appaji’s today’s MMS is more or less connected to MMS 164 and190. In other words Appaji has refined these MMS and further gone deep in to it. Puttuji you have also given a nice explanation. The Mother Goddess is taking care of nature, wherein the trees, plants are growing, who in turn gives fruits and other things for the benefit of others with out expecting anything from us. Hence in turn our duty is also to protect them. In otherwords it is a part of our benevolence . That is a lesson Appaji is further giving to us through this MSG. Similarly Mother Sarswathi gives us knowledge which we should utilise in the proper way and there by it should be useful for others also. It means we should share our knowledge to others for their benefit also. That is also a part of our benevolence . Appaji You are a great example for this, because everyday You are doing Annadhana and not only that You are doing lot of other seva and charities .From this we learn a great lesson and do our best for the benefit of others and the society by considering it is also part of our benevolence . The photography and the music are very apt to this MSG. JGD.
JGD Appaji – As Trees does good to everyone in the same way the human beings should think and act such that there is no discrimination – Om Namo Hanumathe Namaha – SGD
JAI GURU DATTA ! Sadguru also gives blessings for his follower’s.
jayagurudatta sashtangapranams at lotus feet of poojya swamiji, very beautiful message by poojya swamiji,every body should learn from this message,trees are bearing friuts for others, as mother bears
any amount of pain for her children, at least we must do service to society with in our limits,poojya swamiji, told us many times,poojya swamiji likes very much for service, i pray again again at lotus feet of poojya swamiji to give divine blessings to do more service om namo hanumathenamhaa
JGD Appaji
Just like the trees Appaji’s every action is for the benefit of others. Trees readily share and give up the fruit without keeping anything for themselves. Praying we all become trees and branches bearing the fruit of Appaji’s teachings and do selfless seva.
Jai Guru Datta,
this wonderful music accompanies me into 12/12/12.
That`s a real blessing, like bird songs floating in the sky, together with the leaves and stars …
Jaya Guru Datta Puttuji,
Beautiful MMS message. We all should learn the selfless service from trees. Just by watering trees and plants, they give flowers, fruits and shade. Thank you Appaji for todays MMS message.
Sri Guru Datta
Jaya Guru Datta! Sri Guru Datta! Om Namo Hanumathe Namaha!
My Humble Pranamams to SADGURUS LOTUS FEET
Om Sri Sadgurubhyo Namaha!
Jaya Guru Datta – a very nice subhashitam, when heard from Appaji brings more value and more inspiration. Another gem of a music alongwith a great message. “paropakaraartham idam shareeram”. Thank You Appaji.
JGD. May we give of ourselves in the way You want us to give Swamiji. JGD.
Sadguru Datta! You give, give, give, and continue to give. You are born only to give, it seems like. Instead of us taking, taking, taking and continuing to take, please help us also to give, give, give, and give, like you. Your radiant face shows that there is more joy in giving than in taking. Please teach us to be grateful not only while we take, but also to be grateful for the opportunity to give. Without your grace, the chance to give does not occur. How often I look wistfully at those who give with abandon their services, possessions and talents to you and wish that I could serve my Gurudeva in the same way! It is you, who gives us what we may share with others, and who gives us the mindset that wants to share. I pray also that you keep us from throwing stones of blame and criticism at those who give us so much, so willingly, to make our lives comfortable. Please make us all be like you, Sri Swamiji! Jaya Guru Datta
