Tie poornaphala for Dattaji;
The river Sariripu is mentioned in the Brahmanda Purana which is now called Aripo river which is in Trinidad and Tobago. Swamiji went to Trinidad to visit the river as well.
Here 50 years ago Bhaktimala was started here. There is a shloka in the beginning of Bhakthimala. There is also a shloka with the mention of the Venu - flute. Swamiji started talking about the flute 50 years back itself. Whoever plays the swaras in the flute, they will attain Brahma Jnana. This is mentioned in all big Vedic and spiritual books. There is also a mention of how Kali Mata comes in the form of Prana and flute to Sri Krishna as sister.
The flute is made in such a way which represents our body. It is made up of 6 holes. See how the flute is made and the music is formed. Everyone should take the flute. You don’t have to learn to prepare for a big concert. Just take the flute and learn the basics through the YouTube channel. We should always see good things. We should always go behind good things so we can learn. It is good to learn to play the flute. It is good for our Prana. At first, it will be difficult to get the sound but once you get the sound you will feel very joyful. It is almost as a replacement for Pranayama practice. One should keeps doing sadhana (practice). Also, when you feel upset, listen to the music of flute, you will feel very relaxed. Maybe in the beginning it is difficult to play. It might be difficult for the house owner also to listen but once you keep practicing, even the owner will like listening to you playing the flute. It helps with many health ailments.
In Rama Avatara, Rama had promised through Hanuman to few people that he will teach the Brahma Jnana. So, In Krishna Avatara through Prana, Krishna teaches the Brahma Jnana. When Sri Krishna played, each gopas, gopikas could get an upadesha. In such way, crores of people got upadesha from Sri Krishna. Sadguru is Krishna Paramatma for us. It is a great blessing to listen to the flute’s melody.
Just keep it in your house. Swamiji has tested each flute before giving it. So all of you take one flute and keep it in your house. So Swamiji had told about the flute and the relation of Atma Jnana 50 years back itself. We will always have problems in life but the one thing constant is need of Atma Jnana.
We all have so much inclination towards bad things, bad food, etc. We can only sleep when there’s lot of sound but when we get a peaceful house we feel that it’s too silent and can’t sleep. We need to keep smelling the bad smell of oily food.
We keep thinking about the pain we have. We rest our mind in that pain which only increases the pain. If we resist that thought then we can surpass the pain. Same with food. Try to resist your mind. This is all what our elders have advised to us. But we cannot listen to good advise. We only want to listen to bad things. Don’t be like that. Keep your mind silent and listen and play music. Music means nada, nada is yoga. Practice any type of music, any instrument. You will get such a peaceful state of mind or you can just listen to music.
That is also a good practice. Keep practicing then you will not get the mind to leave it. That is single pointed concentration. This is Vedanta. This is the easiest path which will make us peaceful and healthy. Even if problems arises, we will not feel worried about them. We can overcome them. Vedas are also like that. They study and practice for 21 years with so much concentration. They keep studying and reciting for almost 16-24 hours a day non-stop. Bhagavad Gita is also a testament to this. Kids keep chanting everyday and put their full mind to it. It is such a good practice. You should also listen and learn and make your children learn Bhagavad Gita. Even smallest of children and oldest people with memory problems have learnt. You all are too busy and not reading Bhagavad Gita. Don’t be like that.
Bangalore devotees should get gold medal. How many people here has got Bhagavad Gita gold medal? I want Bangalore devotees to learn and get gold medal. Tataji is taking picture with Bhagavad Gita Gold medal winners so far in Bangalore Ashrama. Tataji “each of you teach people. It is like doing Ashvamedha Yaga. It is more meritous than Ganga Snana. Teach to people that you know.”
So Tataji is again travelling to the USA and going to do Sampoorna Bhagavad Gita Parayana with thousands of participants. Now the situation in the world is not great, with wars around. Only with Bhagavad Gita Parayana and flute practice we can win over these situations.
All of you tie poornaphala in the name of Tataji here in the Ashrama. Tataji is healthy and good and no problem at all. But now, Tataji is feeling like wanting to sit and practice flute and feeling little tired. Unable to travel like before. But Tataji is very healthy. Swamiji wants all of you to tie poornaphala for the successful trip. Swamiji is like your family member, like your child, so tie poornaphala like you would tie for your child.
