Gurunather’s Divine Message Ashwini Pooja 15-04-2010

I am going to reply a question that has been asked: “When seeking spiritual wisdom or enlightenment is there anything from which we need to abstain?” The answer depends on your spiritual level. When a person seeks God and wishes to realize his soul’s state, it is the discipline that is necessary, not abstinence. The one who has renounced the world and become an ascetic seeker thus needs to practice complete abstinence. This has been the rule. The issue is that sometimes those in the position of a guru do not practice complete abstinence. I would say that Gothra rishis are examples of this. I can see the basic reason behind this question are some recent incidents that have taken place. Whichever way this may be, the person who guides others must see that he adheres completely to what should be his path. He must practice what he preaches. These are normal rules to be followed. I would not advice abstinence to those present here. Living with discipline along with praying while following the spiritual path, will soon lead to enlightenment.

Here is reply to a question asked: “They say when a person does not live up to his promise it is like writing on water. What does it mean?” We know that anything written on water disappears instantly. False promises too are meaningless. Though the obvious meaning is clear, I would like to give another clarification. When divine grace is combined with ‘neer’ it becomes ‘thiruneer’ or vibuthi. Anything written in thiruneer becomes very powerful and effective (Anything done with God’s blessing). However numerous the zeros you may write, they gain value only the number one is written beside them. Similarly only when Divine grace is combines with anything is it of lasting effect.
Remember this and think deeply on it. Everything is just a big zero unless it is accompanied by Divine grace. Our aim must be to always to pray to Them and praise Them. Brahmam or the Supreme One is represented in whichever the form of God you worship.

Gurunather’s Divine Message Ashwini Pooja 06-10-2009

A small explanation: be sure of this-nothing is permanent. The life of every human being, born the normal way, has to come to an end. Please remember this always. There is no escaping this. Those who come must go. The diseases and ailments you suffer are God-given. He shows us the advantage of earning Moksham or reaching a state beyond re-birth by giving us difficulties. You can understand this, can’t you? So do not worry unnecessarily about sufferings. Instead pray that those who have died may reach God soon.

Gurunathar’s Divine Message Ashwini Pooja 08-09-2009

I would like to give an explanation. “Neelan is a cruel person”-I have heard many say this. They believe that he can only cause harm. They also feel that when worshipping him, you should stand on his side and never directly in front of him. I felt I should tell you the truth about all this. Neelan or Saniswara Bhagawan is a God. He is not harmful. Among the planets he is considered to be the wisest. Lord Saturn alone has the name title ‘Easwaran’ attached to his name. It is to help you overcome your bad karma from a previous birth that he comes during allocated periods in your astrological chart. If you contemplate on this you will realize that the role He plays is for your benefit. I have also observed that people ignore his title of Easwaran and use the first part of his name while scolding or criticizing others. This amounts to blasphemy.
Be careful as soon as you say his name in a wrong way you will be drawing his attention to yourself and you will make an otherwise compassionate God give you further punishments along with your existing karma. So please do not call his name in vain when you scold others.

Gurunathar’s Divine Message Ashwini Pooja 12-08-2009

I shall hurry to a question that has been asked. “Recently innocent young children and infants have become victims of cruel ailments and have died”. I have been hearing, “Has God no mercy?” They ask this question only because of Maya. If we have birth we must have death. The parents are experiencing the fruit of their karma. In some other birth if they had separated children from their parents or treated them cruelly or kidnapped or stolen them they have to experience this suffering now. My words may seem hard to accept but this is the truth. Contemplate and evaluate just how much suffering the earth can take. If you say I know nothing about Maya and the accompanying factors it is because you have not realized the real truth. There is no exception. You are not taking the soul into account and are thinking only of your physical self, I note with regret. Still it is a situation that causes pain. We need to consider how to escape this situation. Let us not get into futile arguments.

Gurunather’s Divine Message Ashwini pooja 16-07-2009

There is something I would like to clarify: What does it mean to say ”Kadai thenga vazhi pillayarkku”. It is simple. Some of us use what we have got from others in our personal worship of God. This is not right. Give it to God out of what you have saved from your earnings. In this Kaliyugam there are some who do wrong but complaisantly feel “Though I have made some mistakes God will protect me”. Others say, “It is evil people who have the day because they never seem to face any punishment”. This is not so. Surely while watching your movies you have noticed some of the dialogues; you have heard people say: God will cease to help and protect those who are continually doing something wrong. Good people may have to face tests, but He will never leave them unprotected. Young people who wish to take shortcuts and seek benefits by going the wrong way will only reap suffering.

Gurunather’s Divine Message—Ashwini Pooja-28-03-2009I heard a question here. “Of how many kinds are the intentions of human beings to achieve mukthi?”

I would say that as far as I know there are three groups. First the ones who desire to attain mukthi but do not put in the necessary effort. This is the ordinary level. Next, there are the ones who put in slight efforts towards achieving this end. They too are of a somewhat ordinary level. Thirdly there are those who are filled with a burning desire to achieve mukthi and put in an equal effort. This will certainly lead them to the mukthi state
.
There is not much I can add to this because achieving mukthi and gaining liberation from the cycle of births depends on each individual’s efforts. The success we achieve will be according to the degree to which we increase and intensify our efforts. This I personally know and wish to convey to you.

Gurunather’s Divine Message Ashwini Pooja 01-03-2009

I would like to mention couple of things. I too heard your Guru’s talk on how a disciple should approach a Guru. It was good. Only I would add that faith is also an important trait. You trust that in the future you will get what you desire. If you are correct in your behavior towards your guru, he will bless you accordingly. You should believe that because of your complete faith in your guru you will receive all that necessary.
“Live according to your intentions”. This means always have good thoughts or intent. If your intentions are bad then automatically bad results will follow. Therefore always have good intentions and thoughts.

Gurunather’s Divine Message Ashwini Pooja Gupta 02-02-2009

I would like to answer a question: “Are not Yagnas (or Homam) a waste of money? Can we not use the money in a better manner?”
Please listen carefully to my reply: “What is used in a Yagna can never go waste. Even if God does not need any of what we offer at all, for our satisfaction we give Him a little”
I can explain this with an example. A farmer scatters seeds in a field. If we feel that these seeds could have been better used by feeding someone who was going hungry, we are wrong. Only if he sows these seeds will the farmer get a crop of rice that will feed many. Similarly we find that what we give in a small measure in a ceremony serves to earn God’s bountiful grace. By this grace many benefits are received. For example, good rain, a good crop, mental peace, material advancement are some of the blessings that comes to us. If we wish to make a equation what we receive from God is so great compared to what we give Him. This is my reply.

Gurunathar’s Divine Message Ashwini Pooja 05-01-2009

I heard a question that made me happy. I would like to answer the question. We have heard our wise persons say “God alone is truth and everything else is untruth”. So are the Vedas not eternal and not the real truth? This question needed some thought. My reply to this: The Vedas have said to have come from the fifth face of Lord Shiva which looks downward at us. God’s word like he himself is an eternal truth – so the Vedas too are eternally true. To clear the doubt in the questioner’s mind I would say, you can realize the truth through the untruth. For an example: If you saw a tiger chasing you in a dream it would seem very real at the moment. We would want to get up and run in fright. On opening our eyes we realize it is a dream. Still, at the moment we felt that it was real. Similarly, in this illusory world everything we see becomes unreal when we wake up. The only truth and reality is God. Is that not so? During our lives our experiences seem true only to become unreal when we reach the other side and we realize that God is the only truth. What we all need to know is that the Vedas come from God. We have to learn much from them to reach God. Then that state alone is the truth – for this we must always strive.
