Bhajans for World Peace (2/3)
Seek refuge in the Guru to cross the ocean of worldly existence and attain liberation. You are trapped in the cycle of birth and death, where all possessions and relationships are ultimately left behind. The Guru is the means to cross this ocean, destroying inner enemies like desire and anger. By taking shelter and consciously repeating the divine name, one can be freed from ignorance. The goal is a transcendent state beyond birth, death, and karma, described as indescribable light and eternity. This state is sought through complete surrender, offering all aspects of life—success, defeat, work, and love—into divine hands. The aim is to live in the world yet remain pure, with the single task of reaching the divine.
"O Gurudev, you are the means of crossing the ocean of worldliness."
"Oh Lord, I offer all my work and all my mistakes into your hands."

Women can bring peace
The four yogic paths are interdependent, each requiring the others for fulfillment. Karma Yoga needs the knowledge of Jñāna, the devotion of Bhakti, and the discipline of Rāja. Bhakti Yoga requires the action of Karma, the understanding of Jñāna, and the structure of Rāja. These paths are united like the elements in a body. True discipline, or Rāja Yoga, means following the Guru's word without deviation. In this age, many seek blessings without discipline, believing a mantra is sufficient. This is a mistake. To attain self-realization, one must obey the Master's instructions completely. A story illustrates this: a disciple ignored his guru's specific warning and, by claiming ownership of a thief's shoes, was condemned to hang. The guru's word is paramount; its value is often understood only in hindsight. Holy scriptures constitute this essential guidance.
"Karma Yoga needs Bhakti Yoga. Karma Yoga needs Jñāna Yoga. And Karma Yoga also needs Rāja Yoga."
"If you truly wish to achieve ātmā jñāna, self-realization, liberation, immortality, divinity, and saintliness, then you must follow what the Master says."

Tree planting in Auckland
A community gathers to plant a tree for peace following a national tragedy. This beach was a replacement for one lost to development decades prior. The planting is a symbol of peace and unity, directly responding to a recent shooting in Christchurch. Representatives from many nations express honor at participating. They emphasize that the tree represents a global wish for peace, harmony, and the fulfillment of prayers. The act is a practical step toward protecting humanity and the environment. The tree is blessed as a living being essential for life and a focal point for meditation. It is dedicated to the victims of the violence, with prayers that such events never recur. The ceremony concludes with collective prayers and blessings for peace.
"This tree is for the peace of the whole world."
"We are humans and we are all one."

Vajra Nadi
The Vajranāḍī is the root of immunity and the regulator of prāṇa. Yogic science describes a network of 72,000 nāḍīs through which prāṇa, or life energy, flows. Modern medical science often conflicts with this view, denying the existence of these channels and the central nāḍīs: Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā. Blockages in these energy pathways cause disease. The Vajranāḍī is crucial; it functions like an electrical earth, balancing the system and controlling all other nāḍīs. Its health is governed from the Maṇipūra Cakra at the navel. When the Vajranāḍī is weak, prāṇa flow diminishes, leading to blockages and illness. Prāṇāyāma purifies these channels. Specific practices like Vajrāsana and toe movements strengthen the Vajranāḍī, which is vital for immunity. The sound and nectar of creation originate from the navel. All bodily functions are guided by prāṇa, which is the essence of life.
"Guru caraṇo me yād sat tīrat hai, wo Veda purāṇa me gāte hai."
"The Vajranāḍī in the body controls all the nerves, 72,000, and that functions like earthing for electricity."
