Yesterday we had Swami Amitananda here and he touched on a very perfect topic. Your loyalty to your guru. Some members were seated here and listened because it was service. And if you look around here today youll see some very familiar faces missing around you. Some who are here every month are not here. They are doing Pournami with Swami Amitananda. Nothing misses me. Loyalty for eleven months is there, then we need a change, then we have a chance.Once you break the sequence of your Pournami pooja, whatever you have already done becomes nullified, useless. You can see Mrs Naidoo seated there - she could’ve been in Tongaat with Swami Amitananda right now but she knows where her loyalty lies and she is here. For those that have missed this prayer, good for them. And to those that are seated here, good for you.
As you can see the mahameru is raised here and tonight this pournami is very unique in the sense that the moon is the clsoest it has been to the earth in many years. Today, now. And if you watched the moon this morning you would’ve seen that the moon was just above the trees. Those who were standing with me at 3am would’ve seen this. It means that those who are sick - mentally, physically and emotionally - will get very, very sick.
So on this powerful night, the most important worship is that of the mahameru. So that’s why its raised and that is why you'll see that I went through the Pournami pooja very fast, because we are going to do the mahameru pooja.
On the ninth of april a mahameru pooja will be observed here. It will be the only one of its kind to be perfomed on this continent. It’s a pooja that very few people do, but the significance, the energy and the benefits of the pooja are very, very unique. So, those who are not here they’ll have an excuse - on Monday they’ll tell me why they didn’t come. Loyalty is a continuous thing. Loyalty is not on today and off tomorrow. Loyalty is very, very continuous. And once you have that continuity, you have this connection. And Swami Amitananda said yesterday: “Whatever you see, see it through your guru's eyes, not through your own eyes”.
So we're going to do the Mahameru pooja now.
