Swamijis birthdays celebration, 15th of August 2010

The essence of spiritual practice is bhāva, the feeling and attitude brought to each moment. This retreat is an opportunity to restart the inner self, away from the distractions and mental pollution of daily life. True practice requires sustained, dedicated effort over time, not brief sessions expecting quick results. The atmosphere here is made holy by the presence of the teacher and the community, not merely by location. This principle applies even to watching a webcast; engaging with divided attention diminishes the experience, while proper bhāva makes it potent. Spiritual development is a slow process, akin to a child learning to read or a musician practicing for hours daily. The foundation for any endeavor is remembering the divine first, starting with Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. The ultimate purpose of all practice is the development of consciousness toward oneness with the divine source.

"If we have the feeling that we are now in the most holy place on earth, then we will be in that place and we will receive that kind of energy."

"Spiritual development must be very, very slow—and this is true. It is like a small child."

Part 1: The Essence of Bhāva and Practice We have time for ourselves here. We have time to simply be in this moment, and it is a truly pleasant feeling. Sometimes we have a problem with our mind and feel we need some "toys." But try, here in this seminar, in this Anuṣṭhān, in this kind of retreat, to be aware of such toys and to avoid them. Try to be with yourself and reflect on your life. I think the Anuṣṭhān begins tomorrow. In Anuṣṭhān, mauna (silence) is very important. This means not just not speaking with others, but also avoiding excessive inner monologues or dialogues. Try to maintain a calm, peaceful mind. Repeat your mantra and simply be in this moment. Be in this moment with Gurudev and in this atmosphere, which is free from so many pollutions. Our television is a pollution, our mobile phone is a pollution—not the electromagnetic waves, but the constant thinking about calling someone, about speaking with somebody. That is the kind of pollution to avoid. If we stay here for one or two weeks in this atmosphere—not just a so-called holy atmosphere, but this atmosphere in the web and everywhere Swāmījī is—it is transformative. Our brothers and sisters are here; it is a holy atmosphere. What is very important? The wall is not the ashram. The people and Gurudev are the ashram and the holy atmosphere. This tent where we are sitting now is a place of pilgrimage. We remember a nice bhajan: at the feet of Gurudev are all holy places, all pilgrimage sites. And what is most important? It is our feeling, our bhāv. If we have the feeling that we are now in the most holy place on earth, then we will be in that place and we will receive that kind of energy. If we do not have such a feeling, we will not gain that energy. We will get something, but not as much as we would if we had that elevated feeling about this seminar, this holy place, this holy tent. This also applies if you are sitting at home watching a webcast. I remember my grandmother from thirty to thirty-five years ago. She would watch TV every Sunday to see the Pope during the Mass. But what was, not strange, but a pity, was that she watched without having taken a bath. She had a cup of coffee and a cigarette. During the one-hour Mass with the Pope, she was smoking, drinking coffee, and saying, "I am at the same service in the church." Similarly, if we are at home, open our computer, and watch a webcast—where we have excellent, divine lectures from Swāmījī—we are missing one very important thing if we are eating sandwiches, drinking coffee or chai, and taking telephone calls in the meantime. We lose almost everything. But if we watch a webcast with the right bhāv, it is truly as if we are here. However, if we are sitting here in the webcast and talking with our neighbor, texting friends, and sending SMS messages, we are like my grandmother watching the Pope while drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes, losing almost everything. The most important thing is our bhāv, our feeling. This is true not only in yoga but in everything in life. Bhāv is the most important thing: our feeling, what we appreciate. Do we truly appreciate something, or is there just an inflation of other distractions? For those watching the webcast: once more, we are here on the web. Today is Swāmījī’s birthday, and many people have come from all over Europe and the world to pay their respects and offer good wishes. Since morning, there has been a long queue, and this afternoon many have come from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, and many other countries. If you come here only for one satsaṅg, only for one darśan, it is good. But if you have the opportunity to stay for a week or two at the seminar, try to come. Practice, attend the lectures, and engage in sincere sādhanā. During the year, we have a lot of work and duty, and it is sometimes very hard to practice every day. Yes, we sit and repeat our mantra, but we are far away from meditation because we sit and think about our duties and so many other things. Here, in this retreat, we have the opportunity to be far away from all problems so that our sādhanā can become truly fruitful. If we expect that immediately after one or two days of practice we will take a very big step in our spiritual life, we will be disappointed. Nothing can be accomplished in just a few days. We will need a few days to calm our mind and a few days for our body to adjust. Only after that will we truly start to practice. The real results we will see a few months later, when we are back home. Expecting very quick development is not realistic in a genuine spiritual life. We read many books where someone meditates for 15 minutes and has a great realization, but I think that is only in New Age books. We often hear from Swāmījī that our development must be very, very slow—and this is true. It is like a small child. A child needs a long period, many years, to learn to read a book. After that, we also need many, many years of very hard practice if we want to run a marathon. Once I was walking on the street and heard two girls talking behind me about practicing. One girl said to the other, "I’m practicing six or seven hours per day." At that moment I became very alert and curious: what kind of practice? I know it is not polite to listen to others, but I was very curious. I then realized she was talking about practicing the piano—six to seven hours per day, not to become a famous pianist, but just for studying. That made me think: if you want to become a dancer, you must also practice many hours a day. If you want results in sport, you practice twice a day for two to three hours. Yet, when we start to bring spirituality into our lives and practice yoga, we think that 15 minutes per day is enough. Then, after four or five years, we are disappointed and say, "It’s not good. I don’t have any experience." But if we are really honest and look at how much we practice—and more importantly, how we practice, with what kind of bhāv—we will see we have a very big experience in yoga. This is a real problem. Also, when we read books—not those written by great yogīs, but New Age books—we develop complexes because they describe great experiences after only two years of practice for five minutes a day. But perhaps they just have a bigger imagination. This seminar, especially the summer seminar which lasts ten to fifteen days, gives us enough time. You know, when you have a problem with your computer, the best thing is often to restart the machine. If you don’t know what is wrong, you restart it, or take the battery out of your mobile phone, wait a few seconds, and restart. This kind of retreat is the same for our inner "computer." We have time to restart our machine and start a new year. For many of us, the new year begins in September with the start of the school year and yoga classes. After this retreat, we have time to start a new school year with new decisions and more strength. Furthermore, if we try to find a relaxing atmosphere, the best for relaxation is this kind of retreat. Everything here is in the hands of our Gurudev, and we know that all these seminars, this beautiful atmosphere, is almost impossible without him. It is similar to a beehive: everything comes from the one, from the queen. Our community draws great strength and inspiration for life from his presence on this planet. Once more, we wish that Swāmījī—as today is his birthday—stays with us for many, many more years. I hope the bhajan band is here, as I am not so good at singing, and we will now sing "Jīva Maheśvarānanda." Jīvā, Jīvā, Jīvā. Thank you, Vivek Purī.

Can a technician always come and ensure it is working properly—sound and everything? To be honest, you should have someone take care of this. Good? You are good? We are good? I am good. That’s very good. All is good. Everything is good. What does it mean when we say "Jaya"? It means victory. The victory of the glory of Mahāprabhujī. "Bhagavān Kī" means His glory, His victory, and the victory of His blessings over us. So indirectly, it means victory to us. As far as we know, Mahāprabhujī doesn’t need any more victory; victory is for someone who has ambition, but He has no ambition. He simply is. What we wish is that He remains forever for us; that is the victory. So when we say victory of Devpurījī, Holy Gurujī, Sanātana Dharma, and so on, it is a very positive and good word, a good wish for us and for others. Therefore, we always begin by saying something like this. Also, in the very beginning, we used to say "Gajananjī Mahārāj Kī Jai" or "Gaṇeśa Bhagavān Kī Jai, Jai Śrī Gaṇeśa." Gaṇeśa is to be remembered first. Then nothing will go wrong. So anything you begin, first remember Gaṇeśa. Your life will be successful. Your wishes will be successful. When you want to marry, when you want to make an engagement, pray to Gaṇeśa for His blessings to remove all obstacles. When you go for the marriage ceremony, the first step from your home, you should remember and say, "Śrī Gaṇeś Jī Bhagavān Kī Jai." The entire universe is ruled by Gaṇeśa. This means all the bad and good elements are under His control. Gaṇeśjī is the God of happiness, the God of removing all obstacles, the God of success, and the God of blessings. Therefore, this is our humble prayer. "Gaṇeśa" means all the goddesses, all the elements, all the principles. "Ishvara" means God. So the first place is given to Gaṇeśa. Even though Gaṇeśa is known as the son of Śiva, even Śiva has to remember Gaṇeśa first. There are some thoughts about this. In the very beginning, when Śiva accepted the Śakti, called Satī or Śivanī, and when they had an engagement or whatever before marriage, Śiva had to pray to Gaṇeśa. During the wedding ceremony prayers, they also prayed first to Gaṇeśa. According to the Mahāśiva Purāṇa, we read and know how deep the relation was between Śiva and Śivānī. We know she unfortunately offered her life because of her father’s bad attitude towards Śiva. After that, Śiva disappeared into the universe for many, many yugas. It is said everything on earth was without a leader, without power, without life. Somehow, they all went to Viṣṇu and prayed for a solution, and Brahmā advised what could be done. So on one side there is attachment, but on the other side is love. There is suffering, but love is happiness, oneness. It is not easy to get that quality of love. The definition of love is many things, but to find and have that quality is not easy. If you get it, you are lucky. Later, the daughter of the Himalayan king, whom we call Pārvatī (the sister of Gaṅgā), comes into the stories. Then Śiva was born... Anashari, the Ganesha. Ganesha was not born through the womb of his mother. His mother, Pārvatī, made him from clay in human form and gave him life. That was Ganesha, and he was a guard for her. Śiva did not know this, and there was a battle between Śiva and Gaṇeśa. These stories are known. What I want to say is: which Gaṇeśa was it that Śiva was praying to before this Gaṇeśa was manifested? Was it that Gaṇeśa when Śiva married the Śakti? Or is it the one made by Pārvatī, known as her son? It is that principle, that divine protection, the energy of protection that manifests and dwells in the embodiment of Gaṇeśa. So, if you want to remove obstacles in your life and be successful, this is the Mahā Mantra: Oṁ Śrī Gaṇeśāya Namaḥ. What is the Mahā Mantra? You begin your meditation, your mantras, and your yoga with this. And then you can say, "Deep Naya Bhagavān Kī Jai." In that wish, it will carry the energy of Gaṇeśa. So, which mantra is that? Oṁ Śrī Gaṇeśāya Namaḥ. Say Oṁ Śrī Gaṇeśāya Namaḥ. Śrī Gaṇeśa, Śrī Gaṇeśa, Śrī Gaṇeśa pāyī mā. Śrī Gaṇeśa, Śrī Gaṇeśa, Śrī Gaṇeśa pāyī mā. Śrī Gaṇeśa, Śrī Gaṇeśa,... Śrī Gaṇeśa pāyī mā. Śrī Gaṇeśa, Śrī Gaṇeśa, Śrī Gaṇeśa Rakṣam, Śrī Gaṇeśa, Śrī Gaṇeśa, Śrī Gaṇeśa Rakṣam, Śrī Gaṇeśa, Śrī Gaṇeśa,... Śrī Gaṇeśa,... Śrī Gaṇeśa Rakṣam, Śrī Gaṇeśa, Śrī Gaṇeśa, Śrī Gaṇeśa Rakṣam, Śrī Gaṇeśa, Śrī Gaṇeśa Rakṣam, Śrī Gaṇeśa,... Śrī Gaṇeśa Rakṣām, Śrī Gaṇeśa Rakṣām,... Śrī Gaṇeśa. Śrī always comes first, even before Gaṇeśa. So Śrī is the victory. Part 2: The Divine Foundation: Śrī, Gaṇeśa, and the Path of Consciousness Śrī is a feminine power. So first, remember the mother. The first are the females, so all you females should be happy. Of course you are happy; there is no doubt. But if you are not happy, then it is your ignorance that you are not happy. To be a female means to be happy and to make all happy. And when all are not happy, you are the guilty one. So you have the responsibilities. Śrī means mother. Śrī means wealth. So everyone needs wealth: material wealth and spiritual wealth. The word "Śrī" is a very, very divine word. Śrī is always used as a word of respect, a word of acknowledgement, a word of divine light, a word of wisdom, wealth, happiness, light. And then comes Gaṇeśa. Any obstacles that come on this path, Gaṇeśa can remove. Now, how does he remove? Let’s say you go into your basement and it is very dark. You tell the darkness, "Please go away for one minute." It will not go away. You can scream, you can be angry, or you can pray. The darkness will be there constantly. But if you put on a light, the darkness disappears immediately. So Gaṇeśa is that light, and to put on the light means you are acting. That acting means you said, "Śrī Gaṇeśāya Namaḥ." Now, before Śrī, again we say Oṁ. The Oṁ is before everyone. Everything comes from the Oṁ, dwells in the Oṁ, and will merge into the Oṁ. The beginning is Auṁ, the middle is Auṁ, and the end is Auṁ. Coming from Auṁ, living in the Auṁ, and merging into the Auṁ. That is the Cosmic Sound. Therefore, we also sing the mantra, "Auṁ Śrī Gaṇeśāya Namaḥ." If there is no Oṁ, then the mantra is half. If there is no Oṁ, then your mantra is like a body without a soul. Auṁ is the sweet Auṁ... Oṁ, Oṁ... Oṁ. Everyone is home, home, home. Above is home, below is home, behind is home. Above is home, below is home, in front is home. You are home. Let us sing Oṁ, Oṁ... Oṁ Śrī Gaṇeśāya Namaḥ. Oṁ Śrī Gaṇeśa Bhagavān Kī Jaya. Then you start your car, for example; you begin your work. You put on your shoes or your dress, anything. Then you say the Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra. "Mahā" means great, "mṛtyu" means death, "jaya" means victory. So it is victory over death. It means all bad things which could happen are avoided, are protected. That is the Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra: Oṁ Tryambakaṁ Yajāmahe Sugandhiṁ Puṣṭi Vardhanam, Urvārukamiva Bandhanān Mṛtyormukṣīya Mā’mṛtāt. It is repeated five times. Why five times? In the Hindi alphabet, the letters when we say "oṁ namo śivāya": "oṁ namo śivāya". These are the five words, so it is called the Pañcākṣara Mantra, the five-letter mantra, and that is "oṁ namo śivāya". Therefore, the Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra is dedicated to Śiva, and it is important to repeat it five times. It is to protect the five elements which hold our life, keep our life, keep us alive. And therefore, it is the five elements. It is also called Pañcadevā, five deities. These five deities are very, very important: Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśa, Śakti and Gurudev. Pañcadevā, rakṣākarī. These five goddesses or devas should protect us. So, every thought, every movement, if we begin with this divine thinking, our life becomes successful. That is how we call yoga in daily life. Whatever you are doing, you are doing with full consciousness, full of divine thinking, so we will have this. For the whole two weeks, we will speak about prāṇas, and we will also make what is called Nitya Karma: the everyday work, everyday thoughts, everyday ceremonies. Satkarmas, Haṭha Yoga. Pañcakarmas, Āyurveda. And Nitya Karma in general: what we should do and what we should not do. So nitya karma: there are two kinds of karma. There are some which you have to do. Even if you don’t want to do it, you have to do it. For example, you have to get up and go to the bathroom. If I will not do it, then there will be some way to do it. So there are many things. And there are some karmas we do: get up and do the ceremonies and read something. Perhaps we will schedule these nitya karmas for you: how to become successful and how to remove the problems. That depends on you. If you do, you will be. And if you can’t do, then you cannot. So this is very, very important. On this day, we are together. And we pray to the Almighty, Śrī Gaṇeśa Jī Mahārāja, Guru Dev, and all the divine powers, to bless us with good health, long life, harmony, peace, understanding, and mutual understanding. With this, the next session will begin in one hour, so you should be there by 7:30 at the latest in the hall. We will begin. Now you have 45 minutes, a good 45 minutes to eat. Wish you good appetite. The webcast will begin exactly at 7:30. It will be given a commentary by someone. The seminar has begun. Beautiful hall. The people are coming. Like this, 7:30, you must be ready. We have some nice programs again. Who has a birthday today should come. Chocolate. So, 50 years. Oh, that’s not today. 4th of August, Katalina. Who was that? Okay, 50 years, come on. Thank you. Thank you, Hario Korinna Juretis, Korinna Juretis, Julia from Erd, Hungary, Csák Julia from Erd. She’s 10 years old, ten years. They must be the twins, Sák Hanna from Erd, Hungary, also 10 years. They are the twins? Again? Oh, there’s night chocolate. Okay. And then Prem Devi from Ljubljana. Who is that one? Are you sure today is your birthday? Ask your father. All the best blessings. If anyone has today’s birthday, please, and who is not on the list... Who had yesterday’s birthday? Yesterday, all the best. So now you had yesterday also? All the best. Wish you all the best. Good health, happiness, harmony in life, and spiritual development. Bless you. So we begin today again, continuing our program: how to become successful in life. That is something everyone is searching for, and how to remove the obstacles in life. Half or one hour ago, we had a talk on this subject, and we continue again. There are certain mantras, certain ceremonies that are chosen. It is the scientific work of great ṛṣis. That time we used to call, or they used to call, tapasyā: hard work, enduring all the situations—hot, cold, hunger, thirst, comfort, discomfort. But day and night they were occupied in researching the entire universe. From that, they sought what could be the best for this planet. This planet means all the elements on it: the earth, the air, the water, the fire, the space, as well as vegetation. Vegetation is already included in the creation. We have five elements, and the tree which you see outside is also existing through the five elements. The tree also has a birthday on the day when the seed sprouted. That was the birthday of this tree. Similarly, anything that is created on this planet, we shall know, or we should know, has one limitation. Time means the duration that you may call life, or you may call existence. Even the stone has a life. After a certain time, that stone will be melted, or powdered, destroyed, and so on. So, there is an eternal Sanātana law, what we call Sanātana Dharma. That eternal law says: whoever came has to go; who got it has to hand over again; who was born will die; what is created will be destroyed; what is manifested will disappear. So everything has its time. Now, what is the purpose? The purpose of all this is the development of the consciousness, to come back to the origin again. Because we are separated, we just feel like individuals. We feel lonely, we feel happy or unhappy, we feel pain or pleasure, we feel separated, and we are struggling for our survival. But the aim is this: to come again to the oneness, where all this will end. So this is the purpose of the development of consciousness: the individual spirit that becomes one with the divine spirit, or what they call the Holy Spirit. This Holy Spirit means the entire universe. So we have to develop into that one. If you remember, I told you one and a half hours ago about certain principles and about speaking the J, the victory. This is said also; let’s say that here are more Christian people the last 2000 years, but you say also the Holy Father, Holy Spirit, and Holy Son. That Holy Father is the Brahman, of that Brahmā which is created. And the Holy Spirit is that which is kept within, and we are the Holy Sons. When you are born as a human, you have already achieved the level of that pure Spirit. But it is our karma; it can push us back, or it can bring us forward. So, increasing or decreasing depends on our work. Finally, everything is in one, and that’s called Auṁ. So you may call it in dialect, Amen. The Amen is a dialect of the Oṁ. Because A-U-M and A-U-M is Oṁ. Similarly, we can see that there is a similarity. But the problem is that we lost that knowledge, and somehow our ego doesn’t let us accept it, and that’s why we are suffering. The great saints, the ṛṣis who lived thousands of years—yes, their life was long, a long life. Now for us, if we will stay thousands, I don’t know, even if our bones will survive thousands of years under the earth or not. Our bones are not so solid, strong, like the bones of those ṛṣis of that time. Our bones are just like a biscuit. They break so easily. The entire way of life is wrong. The entire way of eating is wrong. So, we are suffering. Anyhow, the ṛṣis made the research work, also the astrology. You know how many thousands of years they had to observe the effect of one planet on another planet. It is not like from today to tomorrow they knew. There were experiments. There was a comparison. What was when those constellations had this effect on this and this? It’s a great work, very great work. And those ṛṣis gave us that science. Therefore, that’s sanātana science. That sanātana science, it is said, is the eternal law. The eternal law says that every planet, including the planet itself, including the sun itself, has its limitation, and after that, it will be finished. Then a new system will be created, and new things will happen. All this technology we have will be finished. Nothing will function. Everything will be paralyzed. You can do with your mobile, "hello, hello, SMS." So there will be no answer. S.M.S. Swami Maheśvarānanda. We have in Jaipur one hospital called S.M.S. Hospital. That was one king on his name. He made: Savai Mansingh Hospital, SMS. So all this will not work. Or they will not exist at all. It will be burnt into ash, or it will be melted into liquid, or it will be frozen. That is the end of this game, and out of that, after new will come. It will take time to neutralize all the pollution which we humans created. All these karmas, it will take a long time for the Brahmāṇḍa to clear up. So it has time, everything. In that time, the ṛṣis, I think thousands of years, millenniums and millenniums—but because ages, ages is the yugas—they made experiments with the elements, the planets, the spiritual energies, the consciousness, and the physical world. Then they found some solution, what to do. For example, in this room it is hot, and now there is the technology, the scientist, or whatever you call it, they found a solution. They created the system; the inventor of this system is called air conditioning. So when you feel very hot, you just press the button and you have nice cool air. You can relax, you can sleep, you feel comfortable. Or if you are very cold, you are freezing, so they create the central heating, the fire, and so on. Similarly, they created the mantras. The mantras are a resonance, so that particular resonance immediately affects or influences or interferes in that system, the connection of the planets. You don’t see it, but you can feel it, and it will be very simple. Now, in the aeroplane, they say, "Please turn off your mobile phone." When you are talking with your normal telephone, and your mobile telephone is ringing, you feel the interfering inside creates some disturbance in sound. So, this cordless, wireless sound connection, we don’t see, but it is there, similarly. When you said Oṁ, there is throughout the universe. It has gone. It’s a remote controller, so from here you control the radiance of all the planets. This is a science, how to do science. The sense, it has a sense, and how to know that sense is the research. And we have researched it, then we have it. So the yogīs gave certain mantras, and it was long, long ago, ages from Satya Yuga onwards. At that time even these religions were not existing. So there was no question of religion, there was no question of incarnation, but it was a question of existence, the question of all these divine principles. The highest of the highest was one, the Parameśvara, the Brahman, the ultimate, finally the highest principle. And for that, mantras were created. Those mantras are very, very ancient. Now, if someone says this is from this religion, from that religion, finally, who is suffering? You. Nobody else. So, it is your personal thing, and this should be your personal interest. So, how to become successful? There are mantras also for a happy, successful family. Now, the question is, there are very few happy families. Very rare, happy relations. The relation is breaking. But with suffering, here was suffering. Breaking was suffering, and again you suffer. And you are making the same mistake, the same problem. You are creating relations, again the same problems. So, you know, there is one symbol, I think it’s from the Celtic religion, that the snake bites its tail and swallows its own tail. Similarly, you are biting everything again into it, and you will never come out of it. You think you solved the situation, and you found some other connection, but again that connection is wrong because the right connection is only within thyself. That’s all. There is no second one, only God, our blessing of Gurudev, and that’s your mantras. So in these 14 days, we will do something: how to solve the problems. Many, many things can be solved through these mantras, and we will do practically here, not only talking. Many will be helped, many will feel released from many, many burdens, many karmic heavinesses. You will feel that they are getting free from you. Therefore, you have to accept it. You have to do it. And you have to remove your stupid doubts. It is always these, our doubts, that are like a lemon in the milk. So we will continue our programs. Now we will have prayer, and after prayer, the program will be announced. Deep Nāth Bhagavān Devīśvar Mahādev Satguru Svāmī Madhavān Bhagavān Sat. God bless you.
