Sri Swamiji's Yugadi (Telugu new year) message

[Guest guest]

Jai Guru Datta!

 

Here is Sri Swamiji's Yugadi (Telugu New Year) message as it came on Gemini

TV. I have translated the speech from Telugu to English to the best of my

knowledge. Please kindly excuse any mistakes.

 

Sri Swamiji's Speech begins:

 

Jai Guru Datta! Sri Guru Datta!

 

Yugadi Blessings to all. When wheel of time turned rapidly, year by name

Parthiva passed away and year by name Vyaya came. Time never stops. Vyaya is a

peculiar name. This strange name is also causing fear in people's mind. Vyaya

means expense. On this Yugadi day, many are interested to know how income and

expense are predicted the Panchangam (horoscope of the year). Here name of year

Vyaya, does not point to expenses. Vyaya is the name of unending Time God who

has 60 different names. From this point of view, Vyaya means expending sins.

During this year, pile of sins will get burned for all those who follow

spiritual and religious practices. Devotees of Lord Siva, pray to Siva.

Devotees of Vishnu, Krishna pray to Vishnu or Krishna, chant Vishnu Sahasranama

stotram. Devotees of Datta pray to Datta. Devotees of Lord Anjaneya, pray to

Anjaneya Swami. Devotees of GURU, read Guru Charitra or life story of Guru.

Devotees of Devi pray to Sri Devi, chant Sri Lalita

Sahasranama Stotram and chant Ashta Lakshmi Stuti, pray to Kanaka Durga, pray

to mother goddess Kali. Devotees of Ganapati pray to Lord Ganapati. Other

devotees, pray according to your favorite God according to your Dharma (belief

system).

 

This year gives a unique chance to burn away piles of sins through prayer.

So, pray well, pray good.

 

(Sri Swamiji explained horoscope for the year. It is not included here as it

may be region or country specific)

 

Praying to Lord Siva is very auspicious this year. You can also pray to Lord

Hanuman (Anjaneya Swami) who is incarnation of Lord Siva.

 

Jai Guru Datta! Jai Guru Datta!
