Datta Stavam telecast on Gemini TV

[Guest guest]

Jaya Guru Datta !

 

*DATTA STAVAM !!* Is there any devotee who does not know this or who

does not chant this ? But how many of us actually know the inner meaning of

this stotram which is part of our lives ?

 

Purjya Sri Swamiji out of His divine love and affection on us has narrated

this Datta Stavam during 2006 in the Universal Prayer Hall in Mysore

ashrama. This discourse is now being telecast on *Gemini TV at 6 am IST* *on

every friday* starting from today.

 

For those who missed today's episode, Swamiji gloriously explained why we

should start the stotram with Guru Parampara stuthi - the meaning of Sri

Ganeshaya Namah, Sri Saraswathyai Namaha, Sri Pada Vallabha Nrusimha

Saraswathi, Sri Guru Dattatreyaya Namah !

 

In today's 30 minute episode, He marvelously sang a Ganapathi bhajan, and

said that we should start with Ganapathy prayer as he is Vignadhipathi, then

followed by Saraswathi as she is gnana devatha and then remember Sri Pada

Sri Vallabha Swami and Sri Narasimha Saraswathi swami as they are the most

recent gurus for our times in the Dattatreya Parampara. Also He said we dont

need to mention the name of our present Sadguru who is mantra guru but we

just can say " Sree Guru " . He then explained the way we should perform

namaskara, different ways for men & women,followed by a a datta bhajan. The

first episode ends here.

 

These 9 slokas written by Sri Vasudevananda Saraswathi Swami is popularised

by our Sadguru deva in the year of 1985-1986 when a Telugu film " Shree Datta

Darshanam " was released and since then it has become the heart & pulse of

every devotee.

Last year I had a chance to view this entire video cd and this is simply

superb. Explaining 9 slokas for hours together is only possible for our

beloved Appaji !

 

This album is a must for your collection but do not miss the telecast also

as they have included couple of bhajans which are not part of the CD.

 

Sri Guru Datta !
