ARE THERE HURDLES BETWEEN ME AND GOD

Are there hurdles and blocks

Between me and God?

Are there restrictions and conditions

In the love and care of God

Can any power under the sky Keep me away to my God? Can any force on the earth Separate me from my Lord?

Miles of distance around me Motivate to walk fast towards Him Hundreds of days in my calendar Give me strength to wait for Him

Mountains of maya; Hills of hatred Cannot hide me from my Lord Deep oceans of pride; Wide deserts of anger Cannot push me back from my God

Dark clouds of evils; hurricanes of jealousy Cannot defeat me in chanting His prayer Floods of desires; volcanoes of wants Cannot stop my way to His Temple

There are neither hurdles nor blocks There are neither restrictions nor conditions There are neither rules nor checks Between me and God.

DIVINE TOUCH OF MY SWAMY

Silent valley sleeping in the severe winter snowfall Plants, trees and creepers, lifeless under white cover whole God, their beloved Master, walking through the valley of all Touch of the Divine Feet energized, every stem, root and all Thrilled by the Divine Touch; blossom the sleeping flora Colourful flowers smiling in joy; showered rains of petals Danced in excitement and said in chorus 'Welcome to You O! Lord!' Swamy smiled and blessed the valley with his love and respects

The Divine Light of His smile unveiled fog on plants Turned the vapour into pearls of dewdrops on petals and leaves In the light of God's smile, shining like rubies and emeralds Reflecting God's image every where, sanctifying the valley

How fortunate the trees, grass and creepers to get the touch of my God How lucky the breeze in valley, to embrace my Lord all the time Angels in heaven, devotees on the earth questioned in furious jealousy O! Master! What is the luck of nature? When can we get it?

ANANDA DARSHAN – MY ULTIMATE SALVATION

I came to this world with your permission Promised you that I hold your hand with confirmation

Strong currents of desires and paths of pleasures Dragged me into the colourful world of treasures Fascinating dreams in my fluctuating eyes searched For chains of husband, parents and children that are clutched

Amazing showers of wants, needs, demands and desires Plunged me into the whirlpool of affections and responsibilities

I woke up suddenly and found in millions of miseries Cried for help! God! Where are you? With recollected memories

I prayed to Master! God of Mercy! Save me from trouble I forgot my way to you in this confusing world of bubble

Strong winds of cyclone blew me into the sea of compassion Powerful tides of ocean threw me into the river of consolation

I prayed to my Beloved God, chanting the forgotten prayers Travelled in the currents of river calling and recollecting His names

River dropped me on its bank; I can hear my God's name I opened my eyes and can see disciples chanting His fame

I jumped in joy, ran into the Mandir; touched His feet with tears God of Mercy, took me into his arms, King of Kindness wiped my fears

I can see tides of sea and currents of river water in his hands God! I realized what happened when I prayed with folded hands

To my fortune I am relieved from worries and miseries Reached the abode of Bliss in the light of His mysteries.

I TRUST MY GOD

One day a Swamiji along with his devotees and disciples was going to a temple on foot. On the way He narrated the wonderful story of the temple and said, "People believe that, who ever enters into this place is relieved from all sins." The team walked a long distance in the hot sun and was tired. He looked at them and said, "We have come very close to the temple. Now let us relax for some time under a tree."

On that day there was heavy rush and people of all ages were going into the temple in groups. While relaxing under the tree, they were able to observe people coming from the temple very clearly. They noticed that all were going with great devotion and enthusiasm. All were praying and chanting the holy name of Jaganmatha. After darshan they were coming out of the temple with immense joy, satisfaction and bright faces.

After observing them one of the followers expressed, "Master! I am very happy and impressed to see the devotion of these people. How devoted they are! It touched my heart."

Swamiji replied, "Yes. Your observation is correct." Another young devotee expressed, "Swamiji! Thousands of people are going to the temple with sincere devotion. After death definitely they reach heaven. Can heaven accommodate so many? Will all these get a chance to reach heaven?"

Master replied, "Let us see how many can go to the heaven and how heaven accommodates them?" He called a young Brahmachari and told every one, "Now you all go and get mixed with others and observe the actions and reactions of all. But don't disturb us."

His followers were accustomed to such experiences. So they did what he said. Suddenly Swamiji fell sick and the young brahmachari started shouting for help.

People coming from the temple heard a cry for help and rushed to the tree. They found a Swamiji in an unconscious position and a weak, small and young boy was crying for help. Immediately they came forward to shift Swamiji to the nearby hospital. (This is the greatness of man's natural instinct. Ninety nine percent of people were very good and like to help others.)

When they are about to come close to Swamiji, the boy objected and said, "Please don't touch my Swamy. If any person with a sin in their life touches him he becomes miserably sick and we cannot save him. Only those who are sure that they never committed a sin and are totally free of sins can touch my Swamy and help him."

All were shocked. One man tried to approach slowly but he noticed that Swamiji was becoming miserable. So he returned back.

All were standing in helpless position cursing their inability to help a Swamy. They all were thinking, "Knowingly or unknowingly we committed many sins. But now we cannot do anything." Mean while many were coming and feeling sad because of their sins.

One young man with a well built personality, looking very serious came from the temple and noticed some problem under the tree. He found a Swamiji in an unconscious position and a boy crying for help. He went close to Swamy to help. Immediately people in the crowd shouted, "Hay! Man! Don't go. You are a rowdy and committed hundreds of sins. You cannot touch Swamiji. If you touch he cannot survive." Meanwhile others explained to him the conditions to touch Swamiji.

Immediately the young man shouted with anger "Shut up and stop this nonsense. I agree that I have committed several crimes and accumulated sins. But just now I have had darshan of Jaganmatha and offered poojas. Pandits in the temple told me that now I am free from all sins. So I can touch Swamy." He didn't wait for any body's comment. He lifted Swamy and took him into his hands and rushed to the near by hospital.

Swamiji got up after a while and smiled at his people who are eagerly looking at Swamiji. He took the hand of a young man and told his people "he is the only person who gets entry into heaven."

Immediately Brahmachari said, "Because he dared to help some one in danger."

Swamiji said "No. He is the only devotee who trusted God. He believed the promise of the God that "after the darshan of Jaganmatha he is relieved from all the sins. Others also know the promise of God. But they don't have trust on God's promise. When you have no trust how can you enter into his home? God invites those who trust him."

The young rowdy heard all the conversation of Swamiji and other followers. For the first time in his life he heard a positive comment. He felt very much touched and fell at the feet of Swamiji. Later he became a very good follower of Swamiji. He dedicated his life to Swamiji's mission.

Respect can show you the way to God Devotion can make you understand God Sacrifice takes you close to the God But Trust can build a strong and unbreakable Bond between you and God. It makes you one with God.

God Almighty; my beloved Master I am praying for your darshan from past three hours But I am unable to have Your Darshan Decided to continue my prayers, till you appear to me

Three hours passed; it became twenty four; But there is no sign of Swamiji anywhere Let me take the challenge, as you taught me, there I closed my eyes, concentrated on divine smile, of Your

God! My heart and mind filled with you, Hours became days, days turned to weeks But there was no sign of My Swamy's arrival My depression motivated; I intensified my prayers

Weeks became month, twelve months completed My patience died; in anger and agony I questioned "God! Why you neglected me? Why you don't care for me?" Surprised to see my God, my beloved Swamy by my side

He smiled and questioned "Who said that I am not here? The day you started pooja I was with you When you involved in deep prayer I gave you food and water; I made you relax and sleep; I energized your acts and pooja"

I realized God's presence throughout and recollected all I fell at his feet; washed his feet with tears. Swamy! I am a fool; I did not recognize you I wept in guilty; prayed for his mercy God of Kindness took me into his arms

Blessed me with his infinite love and care I learnt a lesson My Master will be with me in joy and peace He holds me in his arms When I am in trouble and misery.

MAN AND MASTER

Raja Madhava Varma Was an emperor to a great kingdom. He was blessed with all the riches in the world. His counterparts envy him as the luckiest king on the earth and the king also had confidence that he was the happiest person in the world.

One day he went hunting into the deep forest and missed his people. He travelled for a long time and he and his horse were tired. He was searching for an ashram or a tribal colony to get some water and food.

On the way he found a yogi sitting under a tree. His face was bright with happiness. There was a beautiful smile on his face. The king was surprised to see a person simply sitting under a tree on the bare ground, without any shelter, so happy. King went close to him and Yogi opened his eyes and took the king to his ashram. His disciples offered king water and fruits.

The king was continuously observing the same beautiful smile and happiness on the face of iushi. He asked him, "Swamiji! Without any comfort or luxury you are very happy. If you are provided with all the luxuries, how happy will you be? I wanted to see that happiness on your face."

Rishi replied with the same smile, "I will be like this in any position, any where. Richness or poverty cannot make any difference in my happiness."

The king said firmly, "No Swamiji. I am very sure if you come with me to my palace there will be a big difference in your happiness. Please come with me."

Rishi wanted to make Raja know about yogis and Rishis. He went with the king to his palace. The king gave him the best accommodation, best clothes and food. He appointed very beautiful maids to serve him.

The king continuously observed the Rishi. But he could not find any difference in his happiness. After one week, he approached Rishi and said, "Swamy! How is it possible that you are not bubbling with happiness with all these riches? How and why? If I were in your position I would have been very happy."

Swamy replied with the same smile. "Raja! Come with me. I will show you the difference between you and me." Rishi made the king walk in the forest. The king was very tired. He made the king relax on the ground and gave raw fruits and roots to eat. The king suffered a lot. But Rishi enjoyed all these with the same happiness.

Again the king questioned how it was possible. Rushi said "Raja I am not attached to anything in the world. It may be pain or pleasure; poverty or richness. All are the same for me. I accept both with the same love. I cannot find any difference between a palace and a hut. But you cannot detach from pain and pleasure. For you and me pain is there, I don't suffer but you suffer. You undergo a frequent mood swing which creates all problems. You hang to it and if it is pain you suffer; if it is pleasure you enjoy. Raja, try to understand that this life is for celebration. I celebrate every moment but you don't. This is the difference between you and me."

The king now realized the core reason for problems and troubles. He thanked Swamiji for giving him a life turning lesson and left to his palace with real richness in heart and eternal happiness in his being.
