Speech of HH Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji – Sri Chakra Puja – March 14, 2026 – Panchamukha Anjaneya Kshetra BHEL, Hyderabad
In this Panchamukha Temple, a good system has been arranged. Man has desires, there is no one free from desires in this world, unless they are of high spiritual understanding. The puja free done that is from desires is real puja. The vrata free from desires is real vrata.
Swamiji has done a Yantra pratishtha here that attracts us to this temple. Many have experienced great spiritual progress in this temple, many people say. The Mukhya Prana Hanuman who is the form of Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshvara is consecrated here.
A few hours before the consecration, while 5 hours 8 minutes were left for consecration, the moorti’s arm got separated. Such a moorti cannot be consecrated.
It’s not the type of moorti that is available in shops or a food item that can easily be replaced. Money lost can be earned again. But the moorti that was prepared after a sankalpa of many years and was brought together through many scriptures cannot be duplicated.
Once the moorti is in place, it should not be called a stone, nor should we ask where the stone came from, how much it cost, how much the temple cost etc. In the old days, per Agama Shastra, they used to only etch sculptures related to the main deity in the temple and further above this they would have sculptures of man and their actions. We often wonder why there are vulgar or lewd depictions on the walls above. It is to show us our own actions of desires and vices and flaws so we can leave them outside the temple.
All those actions are what you do secretly. Some old temples used to depict such sculptures. You must leave all that outside and enter the temple. Our body is the temple, the head is the kalasha, the spine is the flag post, within the heart is the shrine, the prana is the lamp. The slight flickering of the lamp is the movement of prana in the body.
When prana pratishtha is done, it should not be done per one’s whim. Every part of the moorti is invoked. It takes 1-3 hours for prana pratishtha when done in line with the scriptures by the Pandits who know Agama Shastra. There is a separate procedure and mantra for every part of the body. including each ear, each eye, and each nail on the fingers even. While sprinkling the pure Ganga water, the energy is drawn through the Mantras until the Moorti becomes filled with life.
The Moorti can even speak, do you know? After Abhishekam, the moorti is said to sweat? You may wonder if all that is true these days? Sure, you can keep your doubts. That is why the Priests fan the Moorti lovingly. No one here can forget the miracle that unfolded here at the Panchamukha Hanuman temple. Everyone sat and cried here. The following morning, the consecration was to take place, but the arm of the moorti broke. We cannot get a replacement moorti, the way I want it, in the shop.
(This is how my body is – Swamiji coughing – that is why I was not going to come).
Hundreds of phone calls were made by all those present here, to all the sculptors they knew. But the panchamukha anjaneya per our specs would not be available anywhere. Then, Swamiji directed them to call a certain place. There, a sculptor had been worshiping a panchamukh hanuman for six years. Two people paid for it and wanted it and never showed up. The sculptor did many rituals to the moorti and was going to install the moorti somewhere himself. He used to be a devotee of Swamiji.
When he heard about Swamij wanting the moorti, he said he would also go along with the Moorti. It takes over 10 hours to come here by road from Chennai. Even today, the transporting people cry thinking about the miracle, wondering how they got here in 4 hours.
How did that truck get here so fast? There was no traffic on the road, they said. The roads were empty, there was supposedly a strike going on. The moorti arrived by 3am and we did all the rituals and did the consecration at the time we had originally planned. Hanuman took care of it all.
I too as human had to experience this miracle of Hanuman. For me, I knew within what is happening, but you as humans should realize this miracle. In the presence of Panchamukha Anjaneya, we are releasing this book by Chirravuri Shivaramakrishna ji. I have known of him for many years and I wanted to give him a title. We did during Datta Jayanti last year. Those who read his books must have a heart of stone or eyes of glass if they don’ have tears.
We are all not talking about our own history. We are not talking about our Guru’s history. We should know why we are following the Guru, our children should understand this. Winning a lottery, building a home, catching a bus you almost missed is not the miracle due to Guru. You are degrading your Guru to such trivial gains. You are like the woman who is carrying the child, but searching all over the town for it.
You must examine yourself and the transformation in you. We are Indians, why are we born here, what is the history of our dharma? It’s not enough to just clap for rhetoric. Our schools do not teach our history.
When it comes to the flute, the flute was there even before Krishna’s time. We will learn so much when we read these books. IF every Hindu reads these books and follows them, the government does not have to do anything to advance Dharma.
We used to do yoga for thousands of years and only now the world has begun following it.
Swamiji wants 1 crore questions. Swamiji will answer all those questions. Read this book. The repentance will also give you Jnana. The author has written many books, he worked very hard for this book.
My Datta devotees are stubborn about Datta. They want nothing but Swamiji. Now, I am beginning to introduce them to other scriptures such as Ramayana, Mahabharata. But they must also follow Swamiji’s words. Ing All those born as Hindus must read this book. Many born outside India wished they took birth in India.
We should all read these books. We will also translate this into English very soon and publish on behalf of Ashrama saying to Bala Swamiji and Prasadi for their notification. Even while singing a Telugu song, you write in English, how unfortunate!
We will talk about the flute tomorrow. Where did the word Venu come from, where did Krishna’s flute come from? Shiva came as Krishan’s flute. How the flute came from the Swan’s bone back in the day (bone of the Swans that already passed). We will talk about these in detail during the evening Divya Nama Sankeertana.
I will be happy if others copy this too. Normally, others copy everything Swamiji does, let them copy this as well, it will be good.
