Boston Trip -HH Swamiji's Teertha Goshti Pravachanam on 27th August at Westford, MA

Jai Srimannarayana!
Art of Sharing Knowledge
Man has to learn. But who teaches that?  It’s the Guru. Whoever enlightens us with purpose of life is the Guru. Moksha is release of soul from the body.  Whoever teaches us to attain moksha is the real Guru.   Knowledge is very valuable. With knowledge one can add or create value.  Whoever gives the right knowledge which provides divine aspects is the real Guru.
Where from knowledge emanate? 

 Soul is the sole proprietor of knowledge. It has knowledge of its own and no one need to support it.  Something which glows on its own is ‘Pratyak’.  Soul is ‘Pratyak’.  Body is a tool given to you and it’s the place where soul rests.  Knowledge is the property of soul.  Knowledge is present but NOT opened up.   It need to be INSTALLED.  It’s the Guru who elevates the knowledge. 

You need shraddha.  It’s called Ruchi Purwaka Twara.  The eagerness to learn (Twara) and the love and commitment (Ruchi). The love and commitment depending upon how much Shraddha you show, that much of knowledge will be UNLOCKED.

Guru is the Goldsmith and Sastras are his tools.  He uses these tools to decorate your knowledge.  OMkara is the one to open and it’s the one to close.  It’s a tool chest.
The sages who are doing Tapas for 1000s of years there heart melted when they saw Rama, Sita and Lakshmana.  They realized that they are the origin of the universe.  The creator of this universe is just walking like a common man in the forest.  There may be some evil eyes.. Rama, Sita and Lakshmana need to be protected.. The sages did Mangala Harathi.  Is Rama supposed to protect the sages OR the sages protect Rama?  When love is out pouring and overwhelming the rules will reverse.  The protector will become ‘to be protected’.  Rakshya protector of Rashaka.

OM is a combination of three syllables aa, u, Ma.  In Bhagavath Geeta, Bhagavan Sri Krishna says, “Aksharanam Akarosmi”  (I am the ‘aa’ in the letters).  Ma represents the Jeevathma or Me, the soul.  u represents the link or the divine mother and Guru connecting the Jeevathma with Paramathma.  There are 5 bhootas, 5 qualities, 5 indriyas, 5 karma organs, manas, intellectual or buddhi, aham, you,  God, Guru.    Ma is the 25th syllable representing Me.

aa – Rama the God.
u – Sita the Mother and Guru.
Ma – Lakshmana the Soul

The nature of soul is to be with God and to Serve God.  That’s OMKARA!
He is with Mother. Me to serve him all the time.  Rishis are astonished as they saw OMKARA walking in the forest!

It’s the Guru who reveals, uncovers the knowledge for us to see and experience.  It’s the ACHARYA who gives us the PASSWORD to unlock our KNOWLEDGE.  It’s the Guru who reveals the God, Nature and Omkara. 

It was Bhagawadh Ramanuja who revealed the Ashtakshari Mantra (unlocked the secret).  That’s a great blessing on us.  Remembering Acharya’s grace on us, understand our own nature and serve him.  That’s the ESSENCE of life.
Take the Knowledge.. Share the Knowledge.. Let’s Explore.. Let’s Understand..

Jai Srimannarayana!

The stage is very well decorated with wonderful deities of Sri Rama, Sita, Lakshmana and Hanuman.
Around 650 people attended the Kalyanam on a week day evening, that too on a day when many area schools opened!  People sat through the entire Kalyanam process on a week day for several hours with devotion.

The ISSO Swaminarayan Temple turned out to be a perfect venue with superb ambiance, fantastic facilities (including lighting, sound, space, and ability to divide the hall into sections), food arrangements and ample parking.HH Swamiji explained the entire Kalyanam process so beautifully and in greater detail which include Punyaha Vachanam, Pravara, Offering asanam, madhu parkam, yajno:pavi:tha dharana, Gudam Jeerkam mixture,  Mangala Sutra pooja,  Offering sanctified akshatas, prasadam, harathi, sayanotsavam. 

The bhavath bandhus participated in the event enthusiastically and followed the instructions keenly.  The Prjana students chanted few slokas and Smt. Aparna Balaji sang few keerthanas melodiously on divine couple.
Jai Srimannarayana!
