“As the ultimate manifestation of Paramashiva, Gangadharamurti, Ganga…”
As the ultimate manifestation of Paramashiva, Gangadharamurti, Ganga Visarjanamurti, I bless you all with Paramatvaita, Paramashivasya, Gangadhara, Ganga Visarjanamurtayo, Paramavatare, Paramatvaita Praptaye, Yushimaan Sarvaan, Asirvadhaan, Om, Om, Om. Listen, if you are taking up enlightenment, spiritual life, sincerity, in Kathopanishad, there is a beautiful word, means Shraddha, possessed Nachiketha's being, if you are ready to allow Shraddha to possess your being, in Chandogya Upanishad, there is a very beautiful story of Gautama Maharishi and his disciple, Satyakama Japala, I am very fond of this story, has happened in Thiruvannamalai, my Janmabhoomi, in Janmasthan, the ashram we have in Thiruvannamalai, that ashram is exactly in the spot where Gautama Maharishi had his ashram, in those days. Even now, Gautama Maharishi's Jiva Samadhi is there, just less than 100 meter from our ashram.
Understand, this beautiful story, a small boy named Japala, he goes to Gautama Maharishi's ashram, he wants to be a disciple of Gautama Maharishi and achieve the enlightenment. Gautama Maharishi, as usual, asks, oh my dear, your father's name, you are from which lineage, Kothra? Japala says, I will go and ask my mother and come back, I do not know. Gautama says, please do so.
He sends him back. The Japala comes to his mother and asks, oh ma, tell me my father's name and my Kothra, because I want to study under Gautama. Gautama and Gautama asked me all these questions.
Gautama Maharishi asked all these questions. She says, my dear son, she was actually working in palace as a dancer and Dasi for the guests, the royal guests. So, she says, she doesn't know to whom he is born.
Her name is Japala, Japalika. So, she named him as Satyakama, but she, she is, the boy is called by the mother's name, Japala. You go and tell this as it is to Gautama Maharishi.
That much only I know about your father. Nothing more. Be very clear.
Listen. She says clearly to him, she was working as a court dancer and Dasi in the royal guest, guest house and she does not know to whom the boy later on named as Satyakama, but now called as Japala, the son of Japalika. Her name is Japalika.
So, son of Japalika is called as Japala. So, she says very clearly, I do not know the name of your father or Kothra of your father. You go and tell this to Gautama Maharishi with integrity.
If he accepts, let him accept. Otherwise, no other choice. But you tell the truth as it is to Gautama Maharishi.
He goes back to Gautama Maharishi and tells the things as it is to Gautama. His mother told him that mother does not know the father's name and she is working as the court dancer and Dasi in the royal guest house. When this boy was narrating this whole thing, Gautama Maharishi looks into the eyes of the boy.
The boy is very clear that he is going to tell the truth as it is. Come what may, whether he will be accepted by Gautama Maharishi or rejected, but he is going to tell the truth. When Gautama Maharishi looked into the eyes of the child, at that time who was called as Japala, he was so overwhelmed with the joy to see honest truthfulness in that child.
He says, oh my son, such honest, truthful words you uttered. From now, you will be named as Satyakama, the son of Japala. So, he was named as Satyakama Japala by Gautama Maharishi and Gautama Maharishi accepts him as disciple.
You may ask, how do we know this story happened in Tiruvannamalai? How do we know this is same Gautama Maharishi? There is some more evidences and references. I will describe one by one. Then I will tell you exactly what I am trying to convey to you all through this story.
Gautama Maharishi names him as Satyakama, the Japala. Satyakama, the son of Japala and accepts him as his disciple. Tells him, I have few cows.
A man like a old, emanciated, sick. Take them. Come back to me when they become one thousand.
Satyakama did not ask second question. He did not say, will your physical presence be there where I am going to graze? And will you teach me every day? Will you do online class or offline class? Will you give me? No. He did not ask second question.
He said, yes Bhagawan. And he walks with those cows. The place where he keeps the cows and grazes them, the middle of the forest, that place is called Goshala.
Even now that village is called as Goshala. That is why I say it is historical. Even now the village continues to have the same name Goshala.
It was the middle of the forest in those days. Now it has become little smaller village. And he goes and stays there.
He decides that obeying the Guru Vaak and doing the work is the ultimate. Takes care of the cows. Just be with the cows in the presence of Arunachala.
He doesn't speak. He doesn't see any human beings. He is just spending his whole time, life energy, everything with those cows in forest.
Just sitting with them, spending time, grazing them, playing flute for them, taking care of them. They started becoming healthy, growing, multiplying, expanding. When they become thousand, he did not even know how to count thousand.
He did not have any idea of number. He did not have any idea of any visualization, verbalization, counting, number, nothing. He does not even know.
It has become thousand and it is time to go back to Guru. But the thousand cow comes and tells him, Jaapala, we are now thousand. Come, let's go to Guru.
It's a very beautiful story. Sathyakama says, oh, is it so? Come on, let's go. He starts walking, comes back to Gautama.
Gautama sees Sathyakama Jaapala and says, oh God, you are already enlightened. Who gave you the knowledge? Who gave you this Brahmanyana? Seeing your eyes, I can see you are enlightened. Sathyakama says, oh master, the nature gave me revelations.
But I wanted you to again teach me so I can understand whatever I receive is right and it is validated. Of course, Gautama extremely pleased and he imparts the knowledge again to validate whatever Sathyakama Jaapala received. You need to know.
Sathyakama Jaapala became a Rishi on his own right after this. Because now he has Atma Pramana and Shastra Pramana. Both.
He developed a lineage. His disciple asks him to teach the Brahma Vidya. The knowledge of how to get enlightened.
Then he narrates this whole story. How he went to Gautama and how Gautama asked the questions and how his mother answered and how he went and told the same answers to Gautama honestly and whatever he received from Gautama, he transmits that knowledge to his disciples. The whole Chandokya Upanishad is this knowledge.
The Brahma Vidya revealed by Gautama to Sathyakama Jaapala, in turn Sathyakama Jaapala to his disciples. I'll give you few understandings from this Upanishad. Maybe in the next few days satsangs, I'll give a deeper insights.
The first thing you need is Shraddha in Guru Vaak. See, if you are a casual window shopper. Oh, you saw in YouTube or social media, this guy speaks well and dressed up like traditional Hindu enlightened masters.
So, let me listen what he is telling. And if you are like a fan, okay, what he says sounds good. If you are a window shopper or a fan, you can just hear and if you get to see a different video or some ads in between, you can just move, carry on.
But if you are filled with the sincerity, Shraddha, want to be a disciple, the first and foremost quality is intense listening to Guru Vaak. Shraddha to Guru Vaak. Listen, Sathyakama Jaapala did not even logically try to connect.
How can making this few cows into thousand cows will lead me to enlightenment? Is this Gautama trying to make me work without giving salary? Enforced labour. Is he trying to exploit me? Is he trying to take work out of me? He did not do any of that calculation. He did not even have that thought.
He just went and sat, started doing Guru Vaak. The whole nature started teaching. I tell you, even now, when you take up Guru Vaak as a life, the whole prakriti teaches you.
The whole nature teaches you. I also got few cows in Thiruvannamalai ashram where exactly the Gautama ashram is there. I am waiting for Sathyakama Jaapala's to come.
Let's see whether any Sathyakama Jaapalas are there out who want to take enlightenment seriously. Listen, Sathyakama did not have Guru doubt, Guru hatred, Guru denial. He did not have his conclusions for Gautama's instructions.
He was very clear. He is going to do the Guru Vaak and by the time he completed the Guru Vaak, enlightenment has already happened. Enlightenment has already happened because Sathyakama Jaapala requests Gautama to reveal from his very consciousness with his own words.
So, Sathyakama Jaapala can cross verify, come to a final conclusion. Gautama reveals and Sathyakama Jaapala, he becomes complete. The whole story, even to listen or to think or to feel such joy, I tell you, the prana in you, the pure satva in you grows beyond your ego only when you drop your calculations and take Guru Vaak as a lie.
Listen, your ego is the frequency of your ability to generate tamas. It's like a if your ego is thirty frequency, you will be able to generate thirty unit tamas. If your ego has seventy frequency, your ego, it can generate seventy frequency tamas.
The unit of your ego and the unit of tamas it can generate is same. You need to create sattva, pure sattvic energy crossing your ego frequency. If your ego is thirty unit, you need to generate at least thirty-one unit sattva to let the give you enlightenment.
For that, you need to decide to drop your ego in front of Guru Vaak but your ego will make sure you get the deep doubt about your guru's words. It will give all types of doubt about guru's words. Maybe he doesn't have anyone to take care of his cows.
That is why he is asking me to take care of his cow or he may even think, oh, all the other disciples who are from rich parents, rich family, they are all living with him everyday getting lessons, tutored, studying because I am orphan who don't know even father's name and because of my background, I have been asked to go and just take care of cows, be a worker, be in Goshala. Listen, he did not have any of the doubts. He did not have any of that questions.
He decided he will take Guru Vaak as the first priority and cross his ego. So, naturally, by the time the cows became thousand, his sattva level crossed his ego your ego. If it is thirty unit, it generates thirty unit tamas.
If your sincerity to Guru Vaak is thirty-one unit, means just even little above your ego, then it generates thirty-one unit sattva. Sattva nullifies tamas and you are free from gunas. The foundation of enlightenment is take Guru Vaak as a life.
I am giving you the few teachings of Chandokya Upanishad. I am not even saying I'll give you few few cows and you take it and make it into thousand and bring it back. No, I am not saying that.
The Guru Vaak I am giving you is straight to work on you. The first Guru Vaak. Sareera Matram Kaludharma Sadhanam mean whether you want Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha, all four, any one or combination of all four, whatever may be your want, you need a powerful body to achieve it.

The permutation combinations of Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha, anything you want powerful body is the first thing you need. First twenty-five years of your life should be focused on building powerful body and if you already crossed twenty-five only now you are waking up to this truth.
Oh God! Truth whether I want Dharma or Artha or Kama or Moksha, the powerful body is the first. Dharma means living with the flow of the natural law. Artha means living a wealthy life.
Kama means living with the life of all the pleasures you want. Moksha means living enlightenment. Any of this you want or any permutation combination of this you want.
A powerful body is the fundamental requirement. First twenty-five years should be dedicated to build a powerful body and if you are already above twenty-five and you are waking up to this truth only now be very clear only now your life starts. Consider this as a second birth.

No. Give properly at least two hours in the morning. Build flexibility, build stamina, build powerful internal organs, build sattva.
If you say you are not ready to do any of this. At least write a will knowing that you are going to die any moment. Make a clear plan for your next generation and give way with weak body existing as no use for you or for others.
So decide to dedicate at least decide to dedicate at least morning two hours for building a powerful sattvic body. Yoga to make your body flexible, high energy level through pranayama, mudras, bandhas to create stamina, build the body. It is mandatory to achieve anything you want.
