July 2024 Chitra Puja

Jai Gurudeva! Jai to the Kailasa Parampara! Aum Namah Sivaya! Recently we celebrated our monthly padapuja to Sivaya Subramuniyaswami during the timing of the Chitra nakshatra. Sannyasin Tillainathswami and Yogi Haranandinatha performed the puja while other mathavasis chanted Sri Rudram. Local members and devotees brought an abundance of beautiful flowers and enjoyed the peaceful contemplation of Gurudeva's wisdom. Aum.

"To the Saivite Hindu, all of life is sacred. All of life is religion. Thus, Saivite art is sacred art, Saivite music is devotional music, and the Saivite's business is not only his livelihood, it is his service to man and God."

MWS 297: \"Each lineage has within it a nada of a different velocity of sound, varied in pitch and depth.\"

This is Hindu mysticism. This is the magic of Hindu oneness. This is sampradaya.

This is parampara. This is what I want you to do: in the beginning, don\

t try to hear your nada. Try instead to hear mine. You will know you are hearing my nada, and not your own, when it is slightly louder.'

This is nada-nadi shakti.

This is your first siddhi.

It will bring many good benefits into your life, smooth out the karmas, bringing you from future to future, keep you inspired and on the subtle path, strengthening your psychic protection, strengthening your personal force field and that of all the loved ones connected to you, whether they themselves hear nada or not.

I\

m hearing the nada now, as I speak, that of my satguru, Yogaswami; his satguru, Chellappaswami; and his satguru, Kadaitswami, and that of innumerable rishis, back to Tirumular and his satguru, Nandinatha'

and those beyond and beyond and beyond, to the beginning of time, for there has never been a time on this planet or any of the earths the same distance from other suns in our galaxy or any of the others when our Nandinatha Sampradaya has not existed.

Nadais always present and within divine lineages of Sanatana Dharma, the eternal path, the eternal religion, the eternal truth,

more advanced than modern science, but not conflicting in any way with the discoveries of science, as these good souls penetrate into Sanatana Dharma and unravel its mysteries.

Teachings can then be conveyed on these rays, as long as guru and disciple are in harmony.\"
