In his enlightening address, Pujya Sri Siddeshwara Mahaswamiji expressed, “Nature possesses an unmatched serenity, and all its components, such as plants, trees, hills, mountains, and flowers, exude innate beauty. Just as beautiful flowers captivate us, the words, thoughts, and messages conveyed by saints and rishis are truly remarkable.”
Quoting a profound vachana by Allamaprabhu, “Nela Holadali, Yelli Nodidaralli Neeniddeyayya Guheshwara, Nimmannu Agalakke Aridu Kande,” Pujya Sri Siddeshwara Mahaswamiji emphasized that divinity can be realized through various elements of nature, including mountains, caves, open fields, and sacred places. He elaborated, “Wherever the beauty of nature manifests, happiness inevitably follows. There is not a single living being on this earth that detests nature, for everything originates from its abundant blessings. The melodious chirping of birds fills our hearts with joy, and our knowledge is kindled by the radiance of the sunrise. These experiences are a testament to our profound connection with nature. Our survival is intrinsically intertwined with it. All that we possess today is a gracious gift from nature, as divinity exists in every facet of its existence. By immersing ourselves in the serene atmosphere and embracing the beauty of nature, we can attain divinity. Thus, nature serves as a glorious conduit for spiritual enlightenment in every aspect of our earthly existence. Our hearts should overflow with divine purity to realize this transcendence.”
Pujya Sri Siddeshwara Mahaswamiji’s discourse shed light on the profound significance of focusing one’s mind and forging a deep connection with the wonders of nature to attain divinity within the heart and soul.
