AvadhootaDatta Peetham

 

Pujya Sri Swamiji travelled from Peethapuram to Annavaram and to Anakapalle on 10th February 2023. In Annavaram, Pujya Swamiji and Sri Bala Swamiji visited the famous Satyanarayana Swamy temple and took Darshana of Sri.Veera Venkata Satyanarayana Swami. Archana & Mangalarati was offered to the deity. Pujya Swamiji prayed at the temple. 

 

Later, Sri Swamiji given the temple honors & Swami Prasadam. Pujya Swamiji spoke and remembered His previous visits and the good upkeep of the temple and the premises. 

 

Pujya Sri Swamiji and Sri Bala Swamiji arrived in Chintamani Ganapathy Datta Kshetram, SGS Ashrama, Anakapalle, Vishakhapatnam at 7 PM on 10th February 2024. 

Upon arrival, Pujya Swamiji inaugurated the newly constructed “Sri Chintamani Ganapathy Kuteeram”, a cottage complex for visiting devotees. 

 

Pujya Swamiji offered Purnahuti of the 1st Pushkara Kumbhabhisheka (12th year ritual) Homa of the Chintamani Ganapathy. 

Sri Swamiji participated in the welcome program held in the prayer hall. 

 

On the 11th February 2024, the 12th year Kumbhabhisheka of Sri Chintamani Ganapathy was held. Pujya Bala Swamiji performed Sri Chakra Puja. Sri Swamiji offered Purnahuti of Pushkara Kumbhabhisheka. Priests went atop temple tower and performed Kumbhabhisheka. Pujya Swamiji performed the sacred waters of Yaga Kalashas on Chintamani Ganapathy. 

Sri Swamiji addresses the huge gathering and said:

 

 

I like discipline. Sit quietly and pray. You can come to Mysore ashrama stay for some days and talk to Swamiji. You come for realization of wishes. Discipline is important. Flower or fruit trees too need patience and care. Only then will they give flower or fruits. 

 

Sumati shataka shloka 

 

Swamiji blesses even by just looking. You need not personally touch and talk to me. My attention goes to those who sit and wait patently. 

 

Today is important and auspicious day. 12 years have elapsed since chintalank Ganapathy Kumbhabhisheka. In life cycle, 12 year is an important landmark. Kumbhabhishekam 12 years ago feels like yesterday. Time doesn’t stand still. Death doesn’t wait. It has no mercy. You may have half done your work. But end doesn’t wait. 

 

Ganapathy here is powerful Chintamani Ganapathy. He removes our Chinta- worries. Give up small worries. 

 

Krishna too had turbulent birth. Ramadasu was tormented by Nawab with wrong accusations. He prayed Rama in prison. He prayed, argued with Rama while in prison. We should feel ashamed. We should have at least An ounce of his devotion. Prahlada charitra brings tears. 

 

All these Ashramas are limbs of Swamiji. Cleaning Ashrama, watering plants in Ashrama is bathing Swamiji. Feeding people in Ashrama is like feeding Swamiji. God gives us all unique experiences. Helping a poor boy with school fees, bringing medicines to those who need, are all worshipping God. Speaking softly and pleasingly is Mantra chanting to God. Devaki prayed God to be born to her. Yashoda prayed for having God as her child to be cared. He fulfilled their both wishes. Krishna showed amazing sequence of Vishwaroopa since birth. Those who saw were mesmerized. They were blessed souls. 

 

Pray good and permanent wishes. Pray for permanent devotion and service opportunities. But instead we pray for more homes, marriages for children, grand children etc. Praying for devotion to God fulfills all necessary wishes. 

 

Krishna was with Pandavas throughout. Dharmaraja knew Krishna is God. Duryodhana asked for Krishna’s army. Dharmaraja prayed for Krishna’s company. Understanding God’s mysterious ways and means is tough. At times we are blind to God’s magnanimous graces. 

 

Paramatma is neither man or woman. It is an energy for our upliftment. 

 

Gosais had prayed for close connect in Rama Avatara. Rama had said their wishes will happen in later Avatara. Gosais were born as Gopikas and had close friendship with Krishna. So, pray for meaningful wishes. Not trivial wishes. 

 

PUtani in her previous birth was daughter of Bali Chakravarthi. When she saw Vamana Deva, she immediately had wish to have Vamana as her son. Later when Vamana ended her father she said she wants to destroy him. Vamana came as Krishna and she came as PUtani. She tried to feed baby krishna and kill. In turn she was destroyed. 

 

Kamsa was a devotee in disguise. He constantly chanted krishna name  - but in terror. He saw Krishna everywhere. Like Rama devotees in this decade chanted Rama nAma over decades and made Ayodhya happen. Even those who opposed Rama temple chanted Rama name over decades, albeit arguing against the temple. Even now they are chanting Rama nAma. 

 

 

Free medical camp was held the Ashrama. In the evening, Sri Seetha Rama Kalyana ritual was held in the prayer Hall. After arriving in the hall, Pujya Swamiji walked amidst the assembled audience in the sprawling prayer hall. Bhajans were going on. It was magical to watch Pujya Swamiji walk among the devotees and blessing them. Later, Sri Swamiji arrived on stage and asked everyone to close eyes and meditate. Sri Swamiji sat in Dolotsava and inaugurated the website of Chintamani Ganapathy Kshetram. 

Pujya Swamiji spoke and said:

 

I just inaugurated Chintamani Ganapathy website 

 

Come and participate in Sevas in this Kshetra. 

Come and do Homas here 

Ganapathy will bless you.

Those who cannot come to Mysore can pray here.

Keep this Ashrama clean. I don’t like chaotic programs. Use the facilities here. Those who donate cottages are not on ownership. You are offering a cottage to Ashrama for use by pilgrims. Co operate with ashrama staff. Don’t argue with committee. They are doing Seva here. I saw many today. From cook to painters to cleaners I met them all. You also join the Seva group. When you feel unsettled, come and meditate here. You are lucky that a Kshetra like this came up in your life time. Chintamani Ganapathy removes worries. Bhajan group should improve more. Learn well. During my visits to America, many have told me that they are from Vishakhapatnam. I felt happy. 

 

We are lucky to have witnessed the Pran Pratishtha of Rama temple in Ayodhya. Don’t rest on laurels. Follow Hindu principles. Rama has power to put us on path of Sattva GuNa. Swamiji has composed many Bhajans on Rama. Swamiji’s Ashrama in Ayodhya will be ready during December. Come with me to Ayodhya. 

 

Swamiji was to go for Pran Pratishtha. But Swamiji went to Australia. They are searching for an Ashrama. One day during Mandala Puja in Mysuru, Swamiji looked for an Australian name among  Sevakartas and found one person name. That made me go to Australia. I broke Mandala Dweksha and went. 

 

My relationship with devotees is not understandable. It is better not to discuss your relationship with others. Otherwise people will think otherwise. 

 

This Ashrama is like Nanda Gokula. This is a very pretty Ashrama. The greenery and tree cover is beautiful. I give first prize for this Ashrama. Mysore ashrama was like this. But now it is all buildings and no trees. 

 

Rama Rao and Murthy and his wife devotedly developed this Ashrama. She breathed her last in Mysuru Ashrama during Navaratri. Raju family greatly supported. I need not name anyone. It is extra special to donate land to a Guru who is still alive.  We also held a historic Hanuman Chalisa here. 

This year Gurupurnima is in Chicago. Many thousands will chant Bhagavad Gita. Ask your people in America to come and attend. 

 

Many have taken gold medal in Bhagavad Gita. 

 

All I expect from you is being silent and disciplined. Swamiji is aging and you shouldn’t trouble him. 

 

Be happy. Be joyous. 

 

Sri Swamiji then blessed kids who offered their Hundis to Ashrama. Sri Swamiji took Darshana of Chintamani Ganapathy who was offered Annakoota. 

 

On 12th February morning, Pujya Sri Swamiji performed Sri Chakra Puja inside Chintamani Ganapathy shrine. 

 

In the afternoon, Pujya Swamiji travelled from Vishakhapatnam to Hyderabad.
