I welcome all of you.
Today we have an esteemed, honoured, revered guest with us – Swamiji Shri Shri Rameshwar Puriji Maharaj, the Mahant of the Shri Kashi Anapoorna Temple. Kashi Annapoorna Temple is the oldest temple in Kashi. There is a tradition that Annapoorni came to Kashi first; only then Mahadeva, Vishwanatha came to receive bhiksha (alms) from Annapoorni. So, today, the Mahant of the Kashi Annapoorna Temple, Shri Shri Rameshwara Puriji Maharaj is here to bless us and grace all of us.
And, Swamiji does a lot of social work like free Old Age Home, free Anna Dhaan in the Kashi Annapoorna Temple. Swamiji does free Anna Dhan, so many free activities, social services.
And, Pujananda will introduce all the social service activities that Swamiji does.
Before that, on behalf of me and Dhyanapeetam, I personally wanted to invite Shri Rameshwar Puriji Maharaj and Shri Ramnarayan Dwivedi ji, Acharya of the Annapoorna Temple. I invite both of them to be here on behalf of me and on behalf of Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam.
Pujananda Maharaj gives a brief about the social service activites of Mahant Shri Rameshwar Puri ji Maharaj:-
Kashi Annapoorna Trust is running many services here in Kashi. One of them is to offer free Anna Dhaan to thousands of people every day. They are running a free Vedic School where Sanskrit studies are being conducted. They are running an Old Age Home for people to leave their body in the Kashi Kshetra. They are providing all the sixteen Hindu rites to be performed in the temple in Kashi. They are running Information Service Centre. And they are conducting Ganga Arathi every day at Lalitha Ghat. They are running Kashi Nivas for old people to come and stay during the last stage of their life. They are running a free Employment Agency for the unemployed youth. They are conducting free marriages for couples every year in hundreds. They are running free medical services at three places in Kashi. They are providing free tailoring services for women and unemployed youth. They are also running free orphanages.
All these social services are being run by the Kashi Annapoorna Trust.
Swamiji Paramahamsa Nithyananda:- So, with this, I wanted to invite Maharaj ji. Maharaj ji will share a few words and bless all of us. After that Shri Ramnarayan Dwivedi ji will share some of his thoughts. Then we will have translation by Pujananda.
Pujananda Maharaj:-
Now they (Mahant Shri Rameshwari Puriji Maharaj and Acharya Dr. Ramnarayan Dwivedi ji) will be receiving Swamiji. And they have brought from the Annapoorna Temple the Prasad of Matha Annapoorna Devi which they are going to offer to Swamiji. And the saree they are offering to Swamiji has been offered to Annapoorna Devi. It has come from the Annapoorna Temple.
And, on behalf of Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam, Swamiji is offering respects to Mahant Shri Rameshwar Puri ji and Acharya Shri Ramnarayan Dwivedi ji.
Swamiji Paramahamsa Nithyananda: We will now have our satsangh, morning satsangh. And, we request Swamiji Shri Shri Rameshwar Puri Ji Maharaj to bless us, grace us.
Pujananda Maharaj translates Shri Shri Rameshwar Puri ji’s address:
17:45
Pujananda Maharaj: His Holiness Shri Rameshwar Puriji has given a scintillating talk. A brief of that talk is just translated.
“Of all the three lokas (worlds), Kashi is above all the three (superior to all the three). Kashi does not belong to Planet Earth. In Garuda Purana it is said, when a person leaves the body, Lord Vishwanatha gives the Taraka Mantra, and with the Taraka Mantra his liberation happens. For that purpose, thousands of people come to Kashi to live the last period of their life here, and Matha Annapoorna Devi takes care of everybody who lives here. And Mother always takes care that everybody is fed in Kashi in whichever Kshetra they live.
A soul, after passing through many wombs, finally reaches a human womb and takes birth as a human-being and achieves liberation by following the path. And the path which is explained by Swamiji Paramahamsa Nithyananda to thousands of devotees is the path for achieving liberation. And when people come to Nithyananda they attain the permanent state of bliss.
Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam is the son of Annapoorna Devi.
Right now, Swamiji said that in forty countries he has established Sanatana Dharma. In times to come, millions of people will follow the path explained by Swamiji and will achieve the state of liberation.
With my heart I offer pranams to Swamiji Paramahamsa Nithyananda for his contribution to the Hindu religion, for Sanatana Dharma, and for the work he is doing for giving the path of liberation to people all across the world.”
Swamiji Paramahamsa Nithyananda: Now, Acharyaji Dr. Ramnarayan Dwivedi is going to offer his speech.
33:36
Pujananda Maharaj translates Acharya Dr. Ramnarayan Dwivedi ji’s speech:
“Yoga is a path of liberation. In Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna defines “Yogaha Karmasu Kaushalam”. It means, everybody has to perform the required action. When he is a sannyasi, he has to perform sannyas karma. When he is a householder, he has to perform the karmas related to that. So everyone has to follow their duties and their karma. And “Yogaha Karmasu Kaushalam”, when they do it with their perfection, they achieve the state of Yoga. Just performing asana is not yoga. When they go through the states of Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, Samadhi, they achieve the state of Yoga. The way Swamiji has explained the path of Yoga, he himself is considered as Lord Krishna. The path through which a person comes out of bondage is the path of Vedanta. This is achieved slowly and surely. It cannot be achieved all of a sudden. With the grace of the Master only liberation is achieved.
I came in contact with Swamiji in the last few days. I am experiencing something great in the last few days in the presence of Swamii. He is the only Sant in India who has offered the path of liberation by awakening the Kundalini energy, Kundalini Shakthi, in thousands of people at a time. The Vedic science is going to achieve its glory again in the presence of Swamiji. And the path that has been explained by Swamiji is going to help billions in the world.
Thank you!”
SWAMIJI PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA SPEAKS;
So, now, with this, I thank from my heart Shri Shri Rameshwar Puriji Maharaj, Mahant of the Annaporna Temple, for coming here and blessing us, and Dr. Ramnarayan Dwivedi, the Acharya of Annapoorna Temple. I thank both of them.
And I also formally inhvite both of them to visit our temples and ahsrams in USA. Swamiji will be coming in June to bless our temples and ashrams in US.
I bless you all! Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, Enriching and Causing eternal bliss, Nithyananda! Thank you!
