Radhe Krishna To All,

 

Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

One should be very careful while doing japa, dhyana. We should try to inherit

the quality of Hanuman. What is the foremost quality of Hanuman? ‘Vinaya’

(humility). A Guru should wander about without remembering his ‘paraakrama’

(strength/prowess). Hanuman is said to unaware of his prowess. What does this

mean? A Guru should move amongst the people as an ordinary man. A true Guru is

very humble without any pomp and show.

 

While there were many monkeys, why did Rama choose Hanuman to go to Sita? Why

did Rama give His ring to Hanuman? Guru should be one sent by Bhagavaan.

Bhagavaan should give him the permission to help people cross the ocean of life.

Only then should he go to do this work.

 

Once a man said to Ramakrishna Paramahamsa that in this world none had bhakti

and that he wished to speak to people about 'seeing' God.

 

Ramakrishna asked him, “Have you seen God?â€

 

He replied, " No. "

 

Ramakrishna questioned him, " When you have not yet seen God, how can you show

God to another? First, you work for it and attain Bhagavaaan. We can then decide

if it is necessary for you to show Him to others! "

 

Without having 'anubhava' (experience) of something you cannot speak to others

about it. You cannot speak and even if you do it will have no bearing on others.

Only fools may get deceived.

 

Hanuman was one who has been sent by Lord Rama.
