Reason to read Gajanan Leelamrutam

Gajanan Leelamrutham.

The time i was in Vallabhapuram and when i was sitting with some devotees in the Hall. One of the devotee was talking about
Sri Gajanan Maharaj !!!. & Gajanan Leelamrutam book  && also the devotee addressed it as ::
Who ever is facing any trouble in getting jobs or any other things in our lives ....

(( Like...if the things are not moving as they supposed to.. then if they read Gajanan Leelamrutam book for 11 times... it is giving good results to them in their lives as Gajanan is for removing Obstacles)).

 Then ..... as usual ..... if i hear about any Dattaparampara Book.... I would run behind it until i start reading that book.
Same Story :: Right away i purchased the book and when i reached home i started reading it......
But.... through out my journey from Vallabhapuram to Hyderabad i was thinking to bring my daughter to Vallabhapuram & i wanted her to stay 3 nights at Vallabhapuram as i was concern during DattaJayanthi time Vallabhapuram will be crowded.

I have a habit :: If i needed to take any permissions from any one.
First i would pray to Guruji
Sri Vittal Babaji & I will address all my concerns and the reasons behind them .... If it is genuine and if it is very important to me in my life .....Then i will chant Dattachalisa for 108 times and
i will request guruji :: "" If my wish is appropriate"" then .... Baba!!! please grant it.

In the same way.....By the time i reached Hyderabad ....MY mother had  already planned some meet and greets & some other appointments But my thoughts were different ....
Actually.... i am straight forward person.
I told her what is important to me is most important & i am very
sorry for disappointing you. But later she understood my feelings and co-operated with me. But still ....
 I needed to take permission my from husband & family too in-order to take my daughter to Vallabhapuram for 3 days. &&
As this trip wasn't planned before and i took this sudden decision.

Then ... I prayed to Sri Gajanan maharaj picture on the book &
 I started reading Gajanan Maharaj Leelamrutam Book with in 2 - 3 days. & after i finished chanting Dattachalisa then....I asked my hsuband's permission too... && As i Always mention in all of my posts :: If we have guru's grace upon us & if our wish is appropriate then With the grace of Guruji all our environments will come into our favor. He allowed me to take her to Vallabhapuram.

But ....Again We couldn't fix Car driver....My mother was particular about taking Raju's help (driver) As Raju went to Vallabhapuram quiet few times and my mother wanted him to come. But till last minute he did not confirm to us & i was very tensed But.... With the grace of Guruji and with the grace of Sri Gajanan Maharaj what ever the obstacles we had in-order to plan my trip with my daughter to Vallabhapuram got cleared. Raju confirmed to us one day before and Finally we could able to spend 3 days in Vallabhapuram in Sri Vittal Babaji's presence!!.

I enjoyed reading Gajanan leelamrutam book. You can also read and get swami grace upon you & Your families.

While writing this post....It makes me to read swami book again !!! May be with swami grace he will allow me to read it again. Lets see!!.

Om Sri Sai Ram Gurudeva Datta.

Devotee Bankat Lal Story

Have a Happy and Safe New year Celebrations:
__________________________________________________
So far we read the way Devotee Bankat Lal ( from Sri Gajanan Leelamrutam Book) had Gajanan Maharaj Darshan for 2 times...
Followed by the way i had Guruji Sri Vittal Babaji's Darshan in my life.
Devotee Bankat Lal Story Continuation::

After Bankat Lal talked to other devotee & once he cleared all his concerns he started feeling better but still his heart was willing to have Sri Gajanan Maharaj Darshan ASAP. Then....The Second time  he get to meet Swami at a Temple & Swami will talk to Bankat and he will suggest Bankat to listen to Govinda Buva's speech. & Then the third time when he meets Gajanan Swami then Bankat will request Swami to visit his house and as swami knows his devotion swami agrees to visit Bankat's house....
From then on.....Bankat gets to experience swami's physical presence. (Devotion and dedication is very important).
_____________________________________________

In our lives we come across so many people they may be our friends, relatives , Family .....Etc....Relation could be anything but not every one from the same family is going to be in Guru's Path.
ఒక్క తల్లి కడుపులొ పుట్టిన పిల్లలు కుడా అందరు గురుపరంపరను గురువులను పూజించాలని ఎమి లెదు. Its individual choice && according to our previous lives sadhana we get to meet Sadhguru and will become close to him. But....One thing we always needed to remember in our lives ::
1) Have confidence in your self & Have Clarity in.....the things you implement in your life. Then .....No one can trouble / Divert  your thoughts.
2) Love your self first & feel good about your self for the work you do. There is a saying in Hindi: "" Sabka Sunna Upna Karna"" ::
Nothing is wrong in listening to every ones advice but at the end You should have clarity in your life about your family and your environments && AT the END ....Follow your instinct and Take good decision which suites to your family. Except our Guru.....
No - ONE.... knows in this world what we needed to put up in our lives.  So.... always try to be Smart and choose right choice that works for you. But not for others sake.
3) Never try to COPY others .....Try to be your self and Try to be Happy always..... There is a saying in Telugu ::
ఎవరైన మనదగ్గర నుండి మన డబ్బుని , వస్తువులని దొచుకొగలరు కాని మన అద్రుష్ట్టాన్ని, తెలివిని దొచుకొలెరు. I Strongly believe in that.

I Wish all our Family Members to Get Good Success in this new Year - 2016 Year.

OM Sri Sai Ram Gurudeva Datta.

Devotee Bankat Lal

Stories From Sri Gajanan leelamrutam :: Bankat Lal Story:
Devotee named Bankat Lal is the first person who saw
Sri Gajanan Maharaj in Shegaon. & the moment he saw Swami he realized he is a yogi.At that time Swami sat beside to a road and he was eating the food fell at the road side ....That's when Bankat Lal got to see Sri Gajanan Maharaj and he bowed to swami but so many other members were also walking from the same road but no one could focus their attention towards Swami. The moment Bankat  saw swami.... he felt he is not a normal person he must be Avadhuta. && The moment he goes close to swami and talks to him Bankat Joy has no boundaries. But after a little while when swami disappears from the place..... Bankat  searched for swami but he couldn't find him anywhere .....From that day Bankat seemed to be very unhappy and he seemed to be he lost something in his life that is very very precious to him. But he did not share anything with anyone ......Bankat's father observed Bankat's  behavior and once he had asked his son what is wrong with him....Even then Bankat did not share anything with his father but...One day he went to a person's place ( I believe his name is Peethambar ) Who was also into spiritual path ....So Bankat thought to share all his feelings  with that person so that may be peethambar can give Bankat some good advice. Yes....That person cleared all concerns Banakat had and Bankat felt happy and then.... The second time Bankat get to meet Swami at a Temple ... his Joy had no boundaries by having Sri Gajanan Swami Darshan for the second time again.

Here we all can understand :: If we have Strong desire to search and find a Sadhguru in our lives ....Yes ..Certainly One day will come & we will get to find our Sadhguru and will get to do Guru's Seva in some way or the other way.

Same story with the devotee Bankat Lal  .....He stayed with Sri Gajanan Maharaj when swami was physically present and even after Swami's Mahasamadhi he continued his work (Guru Seva).
___________________________________________
Coming to my story with Sri Vittal Babaji ::
I had Sri Vittal Babaji's Darshan only after trying several times.
Since 2004 i started talking to Baba & one day after i got good results in my third year final semester then i shared with my mother that i had been talking to Vittal Babaji from Vallabhapuram then she was very happy to hear that & she said::
 every month we are receiving Sri Gurucharanam Magazine &
 i am following that .....One day she called me to inform Baba was coming to karimnagar & asked me to come from my hostel so that we can have Baba darshan.....I left from the hostel but some reason i did not called Baba i thought as my mother is taking care of it... she must knew everything. Then ....After i went to karimnagar same day i got to hear from my mother Baba came and left & She called some person & they informed my mother about Baba program.

Tomorrow we will see remaining story.....Which is some what similar to Bankat Lal Story.

Om Sri Sai Ram Gurudeva Datta.

Sri Gajanan Swami

Story from Sri Gajanan Leelamrutam Book::
I forgot the devotees name but.... There used to be a Devotee who  totally surrendered to Sri Gajanan Maharaj where as his wife ....She was also follower of Gajanan Swami but she is more into Materialistic life than Spiritual path.
After Sri Gajanan Swami's Mahasamadhi upon some occasion the devotee thinks to do Annadanam at swami's ashramam but as the wife is not into spiritual path she argues with her husband for spending their money for Annadanam & for other divine service.......& after arguing with him ....... at the end she prays Gajanan Swami asking for his help as her husband was totally into  spiritual path and she is worried ...What if .... IF we spend money for all such divine causes..... Then... how are we going to do family savings and saving money to buy some Gold for her.

Same day Gajanan Swami will come into her dreams and swami will explain her .....Your husband is doing very good thing please do not give him any trouble nor please do not stop him from doing Annadanam. Only those good acts will stay with you and save you guys & Your generations. But remaining things are just temporary .....Soon you are going to buy the Gold you are wishing for do not worry about it. The next day she will realize swami words and she won't trouble her husband from doing divine service. And the very next year swami blessed her to buy Some gold as per her wish.
________________________________________
In My family we have one experience after Sri Vittal Babaji Mahasamadhi::  After Vittal Babaji's Mahasamadhi i was totally down in all aspects.....& Couldn't take good care of my daughter nor house hold things.....At that time ....My husband really took great care of the house and my little one and even he took care of me too as he knew the bonding i have with Vittal Babaji.
Apart from that ....... The  time when i was posting
""My Journey With Sri Vittal Babaji"" postings...... Some times it used to be very late for me to start as i needed to finish all other chores in my house before sitting in front of the computer. One day my husband came to me and said do you realize the time ??? Its very late and next day morning you needed to drive to all kid activities and her school...... He was just concern about me as it was past my bed time .....But .....for me rather i would work hard but not willing to stop what i started......Anyway i said .....Please give me 5 minutes to finish this & tomorrow anyway its a holiday for her school.... but i know i needed to take her to other activities.

Same day night Sri Vittal Babaji came into my husbands dream and said: you guys are doing very good & i am happy for you.
Next day :: First time my husband came to me and said Yesterday after i spoke to you & went to sleep Baba came into my dream:: I was driving on a high way and suddenly Baba appeared in passenger seat and he was looking at me with a smile on his face and said he is happy that we are doing good. From that day till today ....... Its Total Guruji's grace upon my family ....For me to continue postings in our swami page with good family support.

Devotee Peethambar story

Story From Sri Gajanan Leelamrutam :: Devotee name Peethambar, he is totally surrender to Sri Gajanan Swami he did not care about money or the clothes he wear or anything...
Totally devoted his life in doing Guru seva. One day Gajanan Maharaj looks at Peethambar and he says....Peethambar why are you wearing those clothes with holes in it.....If you do not have any clothes you better take my Shalva and cover your body but do not wear those clothes. Swami will bless him with his Shalva.  Then all the members who were there with swami will start saying so many things to Peethambar :: He is just acting to prove that he is a very good devotee.....&& If he doesn't have proper clothes then he must be asking one of us for some help but this is not correct taking swami Shalva. Even if swami gives his Shalva how dare he is to accept it right away ?? That is not correct.....So many things they said to Peethambar..... what ever they could say..... But......
Peethambar said:: No matter what ever you think that is not correct . I did not pretend before swami...The fact is
 i just accepted what swami blessed me with & He is my mother, Father and everything to me && i never expected anything except swami seva.

Gajanan Swami was listening to all the members words and the way Peethambar answered. Then swami calls Peethambar and he says :: Peethambar try to leave this ashramam and teach most of the members about the devotion and help them to get into Spiritual path. You do not need to worry about my physical presence. Gajanan Maharaj will keep his hand on Peethambar & swami will bless him by Saying:: I am always going to be with you where ever you are. Then peethambar had to obey swami words and he will leave the ashramam and he will reach Kandoli.
In kandoli.... Peethambar will help so many members to get into spiritual path with his devotional songs and doing bhajans & Satsangs.
____________________________________________
Moral of the story is :: భగవంతున్ని నమ్మిన వాడు ఎప్పటికి చెడిపొడు. తనకు తాను పూజలు, వ్రతాలు చెసుకుంటూ తరించడమె కాకుండా తెలియని వారికి భక్తి గురించి చెప్పి వారిని కుడా భక్తి మార్గంలొకి వథ్చెలా సహాయపడడం ముఖ్యం. Devotion is very important......Its good to focus our attention upon our Guru and Guruseva rather than worrying about other members opinions.....Once we start devoting all our attention towards our Guru and Guruseva remaining things he
(Our Guru) will only take care.  We do not needed to do anything. He will do everything on behalf of us.
Even in my life Since my Child-hood .... there are certain people who always teased me for No-Reason. But I never diverted my thoughts just because they teased me. I feel that's not easy though...But when we have God's / Guru's grace then he will only give strength according to the time and need in our lives.

Om Sri Sai Ram Gurudeva Datta.

Story from Gajanan Leelamrutam Book

Story From Sri Gajanan Leelamrutam ::
ఎవరైతె నిందలని, అవమానాలని సహించి భరిస్తారొ వారు భగవథ్ క్రుపకి పాత్రులు అవుతారు. ( Once i read  It From Vittalananda Vaani from Sri Gurucharanam Magazine )
Once a devotee named Bhapuna ... Went to have Sri Vittal
( Panduranga Vittal ) Darshan but as the line was long and he couldn't stand for long time as his body did not co-operate then he returned to the place. Then ...after few minutes other members will reach the place and they will ask::
 Bhapuna..... why didn't you come to have Pandu Ranga Vittal Darshan.
Bhapuna will answer :: I came.....But... as i couldn't stand in the long line i came back as we all know Pandu Ranga Vittal is every where && I started praying swami from here.
Then the members will start making fun of his words....
Oh Is IT??? If Pandu Ranga Swami is everywhere then why do we needed to come all the way from Shegaon to have swami darshan ?? These words are easy to say but its not practical.
Bhapuna ....Will feel sad & Soon Gajanan Swami will come to Bhapuna's place & Swami will ask Bhapuna....Have you had Pandu Ranga Vittal Darshan yet ?? then when Bhapuna looks up to answer... there he had Pandu Ranga Swami darshan instead of Sri Gajanan Maharaj....... Bhapuna blessed with very good darshan of Sri Panduranga Swami  in place of Sri Gajanan Maharaj.
Later all devotees got to hear this && they will request swami to bless them with the same darshan Bhapuna had. Then Gajanan Swami will answer :: If ........ All of you can have the same devotion and the pure heart Bhapuna has & If you deserve for swami's Darshan......Then definitely..... Panduranga Swami will bless you with his darshan. God will stay in our heart its our responsibility to keep it pure with good thoughts then god will stay permanently in your hearts itself.
We all can read how blessed the devotee Bhapuna  was.

I wanted to share my one small experience with Sri Vittal Babaji.
In 2011 when we visited India :: Baba asked us to stay for 3 nights at Vallabhapuram but we couldn't obey his words & we just went to have his darshan for one day.....Baba talked with us for few minutes and then...he went into sleep .....My mother asked me to sit with Baba till he wakes up. I said Its okay let baba sleep .....mean while ill go & have all temples darshan & We all know Baba is every where let me go and have all temples darshan.
Later when i came back after few hours ..... Its almost getting late evening but Sri Vittal Babaji seemed to be still sleeping ........Raghu was calling Baba to wake up and some other members were also there beside to Baba bed. My mother said baba is not waking up....I went to the other side of the bed and అలవాటులొ పొరపాటు i touched Baba's beard .....That's it.... Baba opened his eyes & asked me did you have all temples darshan ??
I said :: yes Baba !!!.
Later my mother told me since 20 minutes Raghu & we were all calling baba & Trying to wake him up but he did not wake-up. Only after you came and after you touched his beard.... immediately he woke up. I said :: Is it ???
Some reason i felt like sharing this experience with every one.

Om Sri Sai Ram Gurudeva Datta.

Message about Importance of reading Sri Gajanan Leelamrutam by Sri Vittal Babaji.

 Regarding reading Avadhuta books  and the result of reading them :
The message given by Sri Sri Sri Swamy Vittalananda Saraswathi Maharaj (Vittal Babaji):
____________________________________________
Sri Gajanan Leelamrutam: Blessings in the form of letters (syllables)
If we ponder on the fact that who should be considered as rich and prosperous people, one who  continuously meditate upon Bhagavan (Supreme Lord/ God), chant the Holy Names of the Supreme Lord, one who reads autobiographies and biographies of Mahatmas, saints and enjoy their company and presence all the time are considered as rich and prosperous people. One who makes lot of money and have save millions and millions of rupees in the bank are not rich/prosperous, because that is material prosperity and thus it is transient in the sense that it lasts for a short period of time. However mankind is working very hard during their lifetime to acquire such material wealth. Even if one has material prosperity or not, the punya acquired by reading the biographies of Saints remains with the individual perpetually and it is everlasting. As per Shastras(Vedic Sayings) such punya acquired through reading the life histories of Saints helps one to have foundation for spiritual growth lifetime after lifetime eternally and it lasts forever. SriGajanan Maharaj is the incarnation of the Supreme Lord Datta. Shegaon, the place where SriGajanan Maharaj resided is a sacred place (Punya-Kshetra).  Just Sacred River Ganga, the biographies of Saints/Mahatmas remove all our sins, soothe us like the rays of Moon, fulfill all our desires like wish-fulfilling tree (Kalpa-Vriksha). By devoted reading of such biographies of Saints many people have sanctified themselves and became pure souls, became free from all their bondages, protected from the wildfire of material world (samsara). SriGajanan Leelamrutam is the King of such books (Grandha-Rajam) that bestows many auspicious benefits and removes all obstacles that may crop up in our  way for fulfilling our desires. One who devotedly reads SriGajanan Leelamrutam gets all the Pususharths ( aims of life namely Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha). I bless that everyone should enjoy the grace and blessings of SriGajanan Maharaj by continuously thinking and remembering His name. I bless Mata Sri Niranjananda Saraswathi Swami that she may have long life, health and Vairagya abundantly and that she may be instrumental in bringing out, to the people of Andhra, many biographies of such Saints/Avadootas. May Lord Gajanana’s blessings shower upon everyone.
Jaya Jaya Sri Swamy Gajanan!!! Jaya Jaya Sri Datta GuruDev!!!
