The Satsang

Ganesha is the most beloved and friendly God from hindu traditions. His very form is so nice you can relate to him in any way you want. Unassuming, undemanding. You can just make him out of a small piece of turmeric or little bit of clay. Out of anything you can make and he is available. Undemanding.

I can say largest worshipped deity in Bharat is Ganesha. Every street will have Ganesha temple. You don’t need a big ritualistic pooja from him. A village lady after finishing bath, comes, puts water on Ganesha deity on the bank of the river, worships and goes. You cannot worship any other God like this without much ritual. Here is Ganesha most beloved God. His very form is a powerful representation to the cosmos. The Yantra means the form, visual expression. He is a very powerful expression of cosmic intel. He has 4 hands, right upper hand holding Ankusha – noose, left upper hand pasha, right lower hand his own tusk and left lower hand sweet.

See the noose ankusha he has is a very small instrument wihci can control a huge elephant. It is actually, it represents uncluthching. Any size mind, elephant size mind can be controlled by a small key uncluthcing. The noose represents unclothing. The mind which is awild elephant can be just controlled with small noose, small uncluth. Left hand, the pasha which he holds, pasha means attachment. He does not allow thots to become engrams. Thots if you add attach to it becomes engrams. Becos attach is under his control, he does not allow thtos to become engrams. One side thots never become engrams becos pasha is under his control. On the other side, becos of ankusha, even with thots uncluth happens. So his inner space is completely under his control becos of his pasha and ankusha.

The lower right hand which holds his own tusk. You need to know history of the tusk. Once vyasa requested Ganesha to write mahabharatha. Largest & longest poem written on planetearth even now is Mahabharatha. Vyasa is a genius.

Still nobody is able to cross vyasa’s achievement. Now we have so much of technology, computer, this that, still vayas stands. And his record is unbroken.

Vayas wanted somebody to pen down the bharatha. He is not able to find anybody for his speed. So he asks Ganesha can you pen down. Ganesha says sure, I will pen down. But the speed I write will be too much. If you cant cope up with my speed, I will stop and go away. Vyasa puts a condition – alright, I agree but you should also write everything after you understand. I don’t know how many times I read mahabharatha, still when I read it is so alive, so n ew, so fresh. Still mb is my time pass. That was one book I had through out my prison days. That is the only book every day I spend little time with that book. Still that has so much to offer. We may think what relevance it has to modern day society. No. it still has relevance. These are eternal truths. Eternal values. So the agreement was ready. Vyasa was supposed to match with the speed of Ganesha and Ganesha was supposed to und and then pen down.

Started. Went on & on & on. Neither Vyasa nor Ganesha got up for everything. Whenever Ganesha finished quickly, vyasa put some complicated words. So Ganesha has to understand, catch up and pen down. So it was a big game going on. Suddenly, the Ganesha’s pen broke. And now, becos this clause was not there in the agreement – what to do when the pen breaks. It is whose responsibility? Naturally not Vayasa’s becos Ganesha is penning down. But Ganesha cant miss. Vyasa’s expression is happening in full speed. It happened in Badri the source of Saraswathi, the place where she comes out. She is the source of Ganga, Yamuna all the Himalayan rivers. Don’t think Saraswathi means Brahma’s wife. No. Not that Saraswathi. Saraswathi is the feminine consciousness. I had darshan of Saraswathi in Badri. It iwas such a beauty and grace. The enchanting grace. I made our Anandeshwari exactly in the same mould and jewels. She is made out of my darhsan of Saraswathi. The face, structure, jewels, especially shoulder jewels you will never find anywhere else.

On the banks of Saraswathi, writing is going on, suddenly the pen broke. Now what to do? Ganesha, he has to complete. He cant miss. And he can’t run for pen. If he runs for one more pen, he may miss few words. He cant ask Vyasa to stop. He immd breaks his own tusk and starts writing. This shows 2 things – 1. His spontaneous decision making. 2. His courage to sacrifice for the cause. Und first thing, he is not telling Vyasa stop I will run and get a pen. No. Spontaneous decision making and courage to sacrifice his own tusk. See this writing is a small part of his life. He could have asked Vyasa to wait. But courage to sacrifice. The tusk means courage to sacrifice and spond dec making power.

So upper two hands represents his pure blissful inner space. Lower right hand is courage and spon dec mak. When these 3 are there, life is sweet which is represented in lower left hand.

The elephant face represents the extraordinary awareness and sensitivity. The elephants eye sight or its ability to smell is extraordinary. And its big pot belly represents the whole cosmos. The whole cosmos is inside him. He is the cosmic intelligence. And his m ouse represents the playfulness. See mouse, even though you have little fear, it always creates playfulness. Whenever you see it, you start laughing. The mouse can create a playful feeling inside you. That’s why tom & jerry is so popular.

He is doing this whole thing so playfully. Tune into Ganesha. Imbibe these 3 things. Means ankusha – uncluth, pasha – not allow thtos to become engrams, ….

And, naturally your life will be sweet like Ganesha’s modaka. Today, we celebrate Ganesha chaturthi all over the world in our ashrams to remember the great happening that happened in my life Ganesha eating food which happened at the young age. So today we will be offering 1008 items of food to Ganesha as our humble offering as our gratitude. That gave me so much vitarka. Fools will criticize. But Vitarka is worth it. The power of Vitarka, the strong trust he created in my inner space. And such a auspicious beginning. My first extraordinary experience in this body is Ganesha eating food! Such a auspicious beginning. That is why my life is continuously extraordinary auspicious incidents.

Some ppl feel their life was long torture, long waiting, so many ppl feel different way abt their life. But my feeling is extraordinary auspicousness exploding. That is the way I perceive myself. All the happenings in my inner & outer space, I could see so clearly. Whole thing is auspicious. It is extraordinary.

So bring this 3 in ur life.

The unclutched, un attached, spontaneious courage to sacrifice inner space. You will see life in inner & outer world will be sweet like Ganesha’s modaka. And whoe cosmos will be in you and you will have extraoridinary sensitivity to live life …in inner & outer world.

I pray to God, let us all live in Ganesha.let him express, explode all the auspiciousness in our lives in the inner & outer world. I know Ganesha is happening in our Sangha in a very Big way. He has removed all the obstacles very strong way. He is doing it. Today I have a news, auspicious news to tell public. Today the international open university for alternative medicine of Columbus is declaring Honorary doctorate to Parmahamsa Nithyananda. Ganesha is on his job. From today everything is success & auspicioius for us.

Let Ganesha bless us all, remove all obstacles, shower ausp and successon all of us and let us all achieve and readiate enlight, le him bless all of us to achieve and radiate enlighht and achieve and radiate the eternal bliss N. thanki you!
