June 4th Homa
This morning the monks began their new phase, following a three day retreat. The Sun One homa was kindled as Sri Rudram was chanted and written prayers were burned collected to be burned in the sacred flames for the Devas and Mahadevas. Sannyasin Saravananathaswami was today's pujari, and Paramacharya Sadasivanathaswami sat in for Satguru, who had just left that morning for Malaysia. Following the homa, Paramacharya gave a short talk about the power of Gurudeva's vision of Kauai Aadheenam, and his amazing ability to fully manifest that vision. Aum Namah Sivaya.
"Nathas don't have any hype. We are not beating a drum or selling a mantra or selling a seminar or selling a promise. We just are who we are, doing what we are doing, and if anyone comes along to help, that is our karma at that point in time. We do the very best that we can with the facilities that we have. We don't sell healing. We make no promises. Nathas do their job on a very broad scale and pay attention to every small detail at the same time. That's the working of the spiritual force that has come from Sage Yogaswami, Chellappaguru, Kadaitswami, the mysterious Rishi and those that preceded him, back to Tirumular and Maharishi Nandinatha and those that preceded them and those that preceded them and those that preceded them, for as long as people have walked on this planet. Yes, there are three pillars of our great religion: satgurus, temples—Siva temples, Murugan temples, Ganesa temples—and the oldest scriptures in the world. But it’s the spiritual force of the satguru that makes the religion come to life in the individual." Gurudeva
