Speech of HH Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji – Sampoorna Bhagavad Gita Parayana – Sri Chakra Puja – April 5, 2026 – SGS DYC, Burlington, NJ, USA
Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum.
You sat for 3.5 to 4 hours. Some are hungry, some are sleepy, some feel something else. Anyways, this is good penance, you sat for 3 hours. I see Lord Krishna and Radhe in your faces today. You can propagate the Gita to new people, new friends, new relatives. Teach the Gita and take part in Parayanas every year during Guru Purnima.
Do not miss the Maha yajna Parayana. Group Parayana is very important. Bhagavatam says it gives good energy. Nama japa, chanting Chalisa, Bhagavad Gita, etc. – in a group gives the collective energy of the chanting to each individual. If 1000 people are chanting, each person gets the energy of 1000 people.
You get good energy, it helps you with your karma, your studies, your family. You are all children; we have a long journey ahead. Does not matter, do not think about this journey. Happily, think about and have faith in Hanumantha, Krishna, Shiva, and Mother Goddess. Dattatreya always helps you.
Every day, chant one chapter. Do not forget. This is our duty to chant. That energy and merit you will see later in your life’s journey. I am very happy with the penance you did sitting for 4 hours. I am very happy. Yesterday too we saw Krishna’s miracles with flute in India.
We just heard about the miraculous journey of this temple. Not only New Jersey, but all devotees come and take Darshan here. Hanumantha gives a lot of energy and a lot of boons. He will definitely help, or at least good energy to fight all the problems.
I cannot forget the enthusiasm our devotees had during the first meeting in Maryland in an Ashrama. There, when the program took place, there was so much joy and energy and enthusiasm for an ashrama here. Even today, I remember it like a dream. So much devotion, so much love for Swamiji. I see that same joy in people today.
Everyone get membership and participate in the sevas here.
There is still room to be a Founding Member here. I am leaving it to you. I will not say much.
You sat for 4 hours, but I went inside and had some tea. But when I was having tea I remembered you were all sitting here for a while, so I stopped having the tea and came out.
We want 10 million questions related to Sanatana Dharma. We only have 100,000 so far. You must only ask spiritual questions, or questions about Bhagavatam, Mahabaharata, Swamiji life history, etc. (Submit your questions at https://www.dattapeetham.org)
It will give you all the answers you need the moment you ask.
