Good evening and welcome. Today is the last evening of our beautiful Anuṣṭhāna, the Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna seminar program. We had many different programs: advanced for Kriyā, advanced for āsanas, beginners, elderly people, children, and for lazy people. You know, there are always many programs, but for lazy people, that’s a very important program. And for lazy people, the program is very special, where they run to come and get it. That I will introduce you to tomorrow for the new group. At the same time, we had certain kriyās and ceremonies, how to solve the psychic, the physical or mental, social life problems. As in yesterday’s lecture, we spoke about Tṛtāpa and all these life problems depending on or coming from Tṛtāpa: Ādhibhautika, Ādidaivika, and Ādhyātmika. About Tṛtāpa, you can read more in the book Hidden Powers in Human Chakras and Kuṇḍalinī, where there is written about tattva, and where there is written about antaḥkaraṇa, as well as about tṛtāpa. This Tṛtāpa is also depending on the past life, how it was, and this life, which kind of saṃskāras you got, and which kind of ceremonies you had to get those saṃskāras. Saṃskāras are two kinds of saṃskāra. One is education. That kind of education, what we call, the person has a very positive intellect. An intelligent person means a free thinker and is ready to help everyone. And in this program, after the prayers, when we receive the prasāda, it is also saṃskāra. It means the parents should go with the children to bed. Those children are under six years. Thank you. That was very important, saṃskāras. So anyone who is sitting here has good saṃskāras. Thank you. These saṃskāras, the second saṃskāra is the ceremonies. Many people do not accept the ceremonies. Many people are allergic to the ceremony, and many people do not understand what it is. And when this saṃskāra is not given to children, then this means that your child is completely a stranger to you. Your child is completely separated from you. You have thrown that child away from you. So parents should know how to educate and give the saṃskāras to the children, according to your culture, traditions, and maybe beliefs. The modern way of living, the modern way of thinking, has rooted out the human roots. Made a human without destination, without any directions. So our Tṛtāpas, śrama Tṛtāpas, or the majority of the Tṛtāpas are solved, or cooled down, or calmed down through those saṃskāras, those ceremonies. And those who, let’s say, many of you are sitting, you are not a child anymore. You are already grandfathers here, grandmothers and mothers, parents. You are sitting, and someone is expecting to be, sometimes, a... partner to someone means you are grown. And you had no saṃskāra, no ceremony. What to do? This is the best question. Do we have a chance? Parents are not living anymore; they died. You had no opportunity; you were not educated in such things. What about such a person? Yes, there is always a possibility. And it is our personal life. You remember three days ago, His Excellency the Ambassador of India spoke, in which I also many times said, "Who are you to judge someone?" Even you are not able to judge yourself, and you judge others. Therefore, there is a possibility that you yourself can accept and do those sādhanās, those pūjās, those ceremonies, those saṃskāras, in order to make your life easier. It is there, something divine which we may not understand. We can’t imagine, but we believe there are miracles. There are supernatural powers, and that supernatural power is waiting for you. Just open your eyes and welcome it. Do not lose your chance of being human. We don’t know if in the next life we will be born as a human or some other creature. The past is gone, the future is not here, the present is here. But our future will be, Mahāprabhujī said in golden preaching, our future will be like our present. In this present time, how you think, how you behave, this all has a meaning for your future life. That’s why what we call children are the culture of tomorrow. How? You have to give them the culture. The world will be like that as you educate your children. And many children are unhappy, grown ones like you. What a pity that my parents did not educate me in that way. What a pity that I had no chance. What a pity that I was fed meat from my innocent time. Many, many things we are sorry for. But nevertheless, begin there from where you woke up. Begin from there where you missed it. Begin from there where you forgot. Count again, and therefore, this chance is in the life you have. Take the advantage and use it. Otherwise, you will lose it. So this Tṛtāpa is within you, in your phenomenon. And you cannot run away anywhere. You can hide with someone. You may go from one country to another country. You may not give anyone your address and telephone. But you know, there are the eyes of the Supreme. And with his eyes, with the good quality, there are also eyes of the negative. You can’t escape. So our problems, our difficulties, our destiny, the Tṛtāpas, follow us like the shadow of the body. You don’t like the shadow of your body. And you want to get rid of it from here. You get into the aeroplane and fly, fly far away to Sydney. And you say, "Thank you, I left my shadow in Hungary." You come out of the airport, the sun is shining, and you are surprised your shadow is there. So you cannot run away. That is one of the most stupid things about humans, that humans think, "It’s behind me." Now I can do what I like, but that means you are creating again the problem. One chain after one ring, to another ring, the two rings come together and become one chain, the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth. Every step, day by day, every look, every word that you hear, every word that you speak, every touch, every imagination, everything. Either we are going forward, or we are going backward. And there is the Tṛtāpa. That is very, very important for us to purify, to make a ceremony. Yes, when we go out of this physical level, this physical world, yes, we think we died. You didn’t die. You live still. This body died. Now it means that attachment is gone. At that time, your house means nothing to you. And at that time, your money, your jewelry, and everything mean nothing to you. At that time, your most beautiful, expensive, royal car, Trabant, is nothing for you. Made in Germany. That car is known as everlasting. You can’t get rid of it. So faithful is that Abravalado, he can carry that car to the workshop. It’s so nice, easily carried. Anyhow, that time when, as soon as you get out of the body, for some days, 12 days they said, maximum 15 days, and then in another level of the astral world it is 27 days and finished, all relation finished. Now the spirit turns back. Now, what I want to tell you, is the attachment of the person to person. Father to children, or children to the father, that relation is gone, not here. Here we go to the graveyard. Here we look to the picture, we smile, we talk to the picture, we give the flowers to the picture. You see in this picture, my father, my mother, my brother, my child, my master. But on that level, these worldly relations are finished, dead. Now, that ancestor is a protective energy for us, but if you have not followed your dharma, my dears, here we are. Which dharma? The saṃskāras. Now, both sides are problems, because it was those parents or ancestors, they did not give you the saṃskāras. Or, due to this modern way of thinking, it’s not my problem. So, you know, the saw cuts the wood both directions. So either you or they, there is harmony or conflict. Modern thinking is complicated. One of my disciples, very close, very nice, many of you know, knew him. Unfortunately, he passed away. And immediately, there was still not a funeral. They closed the bank account. What they first did was close the bank accounts. And they telephoned the insurance and everyone here and there, that because he died in this month, 15 days, in the middle of the month, so for the 15 days they should not charge anything, including the yoga society also. And his will was different, that he wanted to be burned, the body. And others said no, and then they said, children and wives said, "Well, it doesn’t matter, do with him what you want." His wish was to bring his urn to the Gaṅgā, and no one of them was ready to go and do it. His own son said, "If you want to do it, take it and do it. For me, my father is finished, and I do not want him existing anymore. You can do with us whatever you want, yes." Still, we are human. We do have human relational feelings. Don’t be so hard. Don’t be so narrow-thinking, don’t be so stupid. We do care, we do believe, and in every culture of every country there is a graveyard, there is a memorial, there is a ceremony in every culture of the humans wherever they are. And we do believe and care about, not only our own parents and children, but the neighbors too. But know saṃskāras. Can you remember? Believe? A few years ago, there was in the newspaper a story about a boy and a girl. They went to a nightclub and came from a nightclub. Four o’clock, five o’clock back in the morning. And then, that girl, she went crazy. I don’t know if crazy or not. But she killed her boyfriend. He was sleeping, drunk. She killed him, took his piece of meat, fried it, and began to eat. And the police asked why she did. She said, "Well, I wanted to know how human meat tastes." So, where to go at midnight to buy? So I thought, I don’t want such a girlfriend, please. Boys, and especially those boys who are trying day and night to grow muscles, you know. Yes, it’s not a joke. It was. Maybe some of you remember, I don’t want to tell the name of the country and this and so on. This happened so human needs that saṃskāras, the ceremony, and this pūjā creates a positive divine energy, and it changes the psychic of the humans to be calm, to be positive. And clear, otherwise the most dangerous animal on this planet is the human. Thanks to God that humans have got the injections of the wise sense, the ṛṣis. And those injections mean the spiritual rules, guru-vākyas. Thou shalt not do this and this. Thou shalt not do this and this. Thou shalt believe. Thou shalt pray. Thou shalt meditate. For what? Waste of time. Meditation? No, no, no. Meditation is that the wildness, the dangerous energy, the asurī energy of the humans in the human body, asurī śakti, that you have to bring under control and develop that positive divine śakti, devī śaktis. And so when you say one prayer, you know, it’s your mental power, it’s the strongest power, and your heart. When you go to sleep, and you say one prayer, "God, send your messengers, or please protect me, have your eyes on me, I’m going to sleep." It will be, and it is. And the day when you forget, you have restless dreams. And sometimes, though you say the prayers, and in the night you have restless dreams, then God says, "Oh, the naughty child, today is a little bit restless dreams." Doesn’t matter, because he was eating something not good. Let him enjoy a little, then I will wake him up, and we wake up. God has protected us. God wakes us up. Who are we that we can wake up? Many people have fear to go to sleep. They think they will not wake up again. Kāma, you know, Kāma. So everything is in his divine will, and his divine will is in the nature. And he is everywhere. So, Dhṛṣṭritāpas, Ādhibhautik, Ādidevik, Ādhyātmik, this is calmed down and purified when you do morning pūjā. Remember? Mahāmṛtyu Jaya Mantra: victory over fear, victory over death, victory over accidents, victory over ill energy, and divine protection. Mahāmṛtyu Jaya Mantra. And to liberate us, O Lord, gently, without any pain, and free us from the enemy, gently. And so, it is something, when you do your pūjā, look, do it. I tell you, you will be very happy. In one year, if you do it every day, you will say, "Swamiji, my life has completely changed into positive energy." We believe, we trust, and we do. Yes, remain in the frame of your culture. Remain in the frame of the religion which you may believe or you may not believe. Puja must not be a religious ceremony. Religion is following those ceremonies. The ceremonies are not religions. So, try to be positive in the morning when you get up. What do you say when you get up? One best mantra for the morning to begin. Say it once loudly. I didn’t hear. Because everyone spoke differently, so it was a singing, what they call kanon, you know. Once more. Om Śrī Gaṇeśa. Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān. Oh Holy Mother, forgive me. I step on you. Mother, lead my steps toward the divine and positive, and give me solid ground, that I may be properly protected in your lap. Mother Earth, Mother Earth. Then you go to the bathroom, and the first time you touch the water. You know what water means for us? Water is life, and life is water. Jal jahan jagdeesh. Here you call water is life, and life is water. We call, "Jal Jahan Jagdish." Where there is water, there is God. Where God is, there is life. And where life is, there is God. "Jal Jahan Jagdish." Jagdish means the lord of this world. You know how beautiful water is. You are thirsty or tired, you want to go, you will have water. And you open your water tap, and there is nothing. How disappointed. You go to your kitchen to take water from the water bottle, you open it, there is nothing. You open your fridge to have water. There is a bottle, but there is nothing inside. You become angry with your wife. "What happened? There is not even a drop of water." She said, "You drank it all before going to sleep. Go and buy more." Water to buy? Yes, now is the time to buy water. Otherwise, you could go anywhere to the river and lake, drink, and get water. How beautiful is the water. So first, say thank you. Thank you, God. Har Har Ganga. Ganga Mata. Mother Gaṅgā, and you use the water as you like. Similarly, you come to your kitchen and you put your coffee machine on. My God with electric power, but there is no electricity. You try to put on your cooker. You have no gas, electric cooker, but there is no electricity. There is no water for coffee. Only one thing you can do. I give you one advice. You know what? How to enjoy the coffee? There is no water, there is no fire. Yes. Take the coffee bean in the bowl, chew it, and do the 20 Khatu Pranāms. So, morning disappointment will lead you the whole day to disappointment. Therefore, the morning ceremony should be done happily. You wash yourself, you come, and you celebrate the fire element. You go to the altar and light a ghee or oil flame, not a candle, if you have ghee or oil. With the mantra, this light is the light of your life. Light is the indication of your path. That light is the enlightenment of your path and enlightenment for you. Which mantra? Tamaso mā jyotir gamaya. What mantra? How beautiful. Lead us from darkness to... So, tamaso mā jyotir gamaya. This jyoti, this flame, is the flame of your life. It is that flame of your life which is burning in your heart. In the Kathopaniṣad satsaṅg, in the heart there is one part, it looks like a small cave, and inside, a beautiful blue light. Whenever I go to my cardiologist, and he goes in for making something, looking, checking, and putting some bridge stand inside. And I ask him, "Did you see the blue light inside?" And they say, "What?" And last, twice I had that cardiologist, he is a disciple of Sai Baba, and I said, I said, "Did you see the blue light?" He said, "Swamijī, your blue light, I cannot see. Only you can show me your blue light. I am not capable." He asked the question to Sāī Bābā to show him blue light, and said, "Swāmījī will show you. We are colleagues, our private things." But many people used to say that Sāī Bābā told that, "Go to Swāmījī directly, or in meditation, well light, beautiful mantra." Om deep jyoti om, the cosmic light. This deep, this flame, deep is that pot which is burning. Jyoti, that is a light, the wick which we light, it then it is burning. Deep om deep jyoti para brahma. This flame, this light, is the light of the Para Brahma, Para Brahma, Paramatma, the supreme. This light, deep, this flame is everywhere, removes the moha. Moha means ignorance, moha means darkness. Without this light, our meditation, pūjā, sandhyā, vandanā, is nothing. This jyoti, this light, sarvam, everywhere, is the truth. Light is the truth. You see how beautiful thoughts you have. So, not only that, you, and on the other side, your tea is going over, milk. Mahāprabhujī, sorry. Therefore, concentrate. Go with awareness, with love, with light. And this light, what do we wish? What a beautiful mantra. Beautiful mantra. Your day will be wonderful, I tell you, if you do. Still, this is blackmailing in our head. All humans, even you, don’t believe in these things. When she crossed the way, then inside you feel, "Anyhow, I don’t believe." And then, after a few kilometers, an accident happened. And your wife tells, you see, you said you don’t believe. Now look what happened. The women are very alert, you know. She got a chance to prove herself that she is right. And now the man, the gentleman, who said, "I don’t believe such things." Now the accident happened, and she is telling, "I told you." And he said, "Shut up. You made me nervous, and that’s why the accident happened. Not that cat crossed the way, you." Well, somehow the man has to keep these things up. These things, this is the symbol of the man’s ego. But of course, now nobody has this. There are few men who have this, you know. Others are in between. Anyhow, so Shubham, sorry, but śubha means good. But it is said from which direction she is coming. That is very important. That is a very secret. Next lecture, I will tell you. There is a beautiful poem on this. That those who get this sign become rich or have success. But that I will tell you next time. So, śubhaṁ karoti. This light should bring happiness. This light is a light of success. Success, light of happiness, light of joy, light of clarity, light of friendliness, light of humbleness, light of clarity. That we should have in our heart. That is the significance of the light. On every birthday, we light a flame, a candle. And when I came to Europe, they brought the big cake with the many, many candle flames on it for me, and they said, "Swamiji, now blow out," oh yeah, I was not so young also, so there were some candles on it. No, so I had to make pūraka, and then I did, but one remained. Then I was thinking, why in this culture we blow off the light, and we light, we put on the light, or we light the flame? I asked Gurujī, and Gurujī said, "The birthday light, flame, candle, never blow out." That is the light of your life. It’s your life. You should not blow it off. Keep it. And therefore, since that time, birthday candles on the cake or without cake, I ask people not to blow off your life. This is your age, your life. Don’t kill yourself. Another in this mantra, kalyāṇa. When you tell somebody, "Praṇām," Mata, mother, father, Gurujī, teacher, Paṇḍitjī, praṇām. Pranam means salutation. They will say, "Kalyan bhavatva." Kalyan, it means you should be successful, liberated. Liberation, God gives you liberation. From what? From all negative energies. Be happy. A blessing. Kalyāṇam astu. So śubhaṁ karoti kalyāṇam ārogyaṁ dhana sampadā. Lord, bless us for ārogya. Arogya means healthy life. Roga is illness, and arogya is health. You know, we have one ministry that’s called Ārogya, and this word comes—Ārogya from Āyurveda, Unānī, and Yoga, this Ārogya, and Naturopathy, Āyurveda, and this all one word makes Ārogya, healthy. Arogya means healthy. We call in India, Arogya. When you are eating, as a guest, we say, "Arogya," you bring the food. And here, what you call good appetite? Enjoy your food. Or in Austria they say, "Mahlzeit." In Germany they don’t say "Mahlzeit," because they think "Mahlzeit"—eating time—is only for the workers, the slaves. So they say, "Let it have a good taste." Śubhaṁ karoti kalyāṇam, ārogyaṁ dhana sampadā, śatru buddhi vināśāya. And please destroy negative thinking from my intellect. Satru buddhi, buddhi is intellect, satru is enemy. So if I have any negative thoughts in my intellect, in my mind, Lord, remove them, clear them up. This light, when the light of the wisdom appears, the negative thoughts of darkness disappear. To this divine light, to this deep, I bow down my adoration. That is your morning mantra when you come to the pūjā room. Then you come to the eating, Annapūrṇe, the glory of the food, Mother Annapūrṇā. An-pūrṇe, sadā-pūrṇe, this whole mantra, you know. An-pūrṇe, sadā-pūrṇe. Where the an-pūrṇa is, pūrṇa means complete. Where this lot of nourishment is there, everything is there. Sada-pūrṇe, ever there is enough, nothing is missing. Shankar prāṇa valave, and there is the life of Śiva, purity, prāṇa. This nourishment should give me good prāṇa. Jñāna-vairāgya-siddhārtham, for the knowledge, for the vairāgya, to realize this. Bhikṣāṃ dehi ca Pārvatī, O Pārvatī, please give me the food. Mātācī Pārvatī Devī, you are the mother. Pita Devo Maheśvara, O Śiva, you are the father, the divine father. You know what you give to the father, holy father, what you give me? He is Śiva. Bandava Shiv Bhaktacha, my relatives, my friends, they are all Śiva Bhaktas. How beautiful thoughts that your day begins. These things will make your life pure and secure, and you will be protected. Then, after that, again you tell the God, Lord, whatever I do through my body, my words, my thinking, my emotions, my intellect, and my position. Because someone has a high position, someone is the boss, someone is not. Everyone has different responsibilities in their life. Lord, anything I do, please let it be in the interest of the entire planet. Pujitī, guide me. All that I have done, I offer to thy holy lotus feet, Lord. That God whom you believe, everyone, we have a personal God. You know, the heart, your heart knows where your love is. Your heart knows what you believe. I tell you to believe this flower, you will say, "Yes, Swāmījī, yes, very good," but in reality, you don’t believe this flower. You are thirsty, and you believe this water. Hmm, that gave me... good feeling and quenched my thirst. What should I do with these flowers? So this is a different thinking, way of thinking. So my dear, every individual has their own feelings, their own imagination of what God can be and how God can be. Who are we to tell someone, "Believe in this God"? Yes, I will do. To tell the children, first make prayer, and then you will eat. Yes, I will do. But when they are big, they say, "No, I will not do." Will not do, so no force. Love never forces. Love is free. And where there is love, love gives you freedom. If you come, you come; you go, you go. Where there is love, there are no conditions. Where there is love, there are no kind of arguments. Let it come, let it go. I am here, that’s all. Like parents tell the children, "Now you are grown, go and work. When you need us, if you have some problem, anything, you are welcome to ask for something." So we all should be like that. If someone says, "I don’t love you," it’s okay. Someone says, "I love you," it’s okay. Someone says, "I am going, all the best." Someone says, "I am coming, how nice." That’s it. Be there, that’s all. Just be there. But as soon as you try to possess this, the tṛtāpa mix in. Sooner or later, there will be a crack, and there will be disappointment, there will be suffering, and you have to pay back that. So, morning, you go to them, also in your pūjārām, you take your own āsan, cloth, maybe very nice linen, cotton cloth, one square meter. That should be only yours. You step on it, you put it and sit on it, and then meditate. When you go, take it away, fold it, and put it nicely. You should follow this. We will have more instructions during this week, and you will be very happy, very, very happy. And in one year, your life will be different, if you do. And saṃskāras. We will do something for saṃskāras. So, today, time is over. Wish you all the best. Of course, through webcast, you can be with us every day. Many people are leaving tomorrow. Many have already come, and many are coming. That is life. Koi chala gaya, koi chala jayega, koi gathari bandh khada akela. Chara chari ka khela, jag mein do din ka hai mela. This is a drama of the creatures in this world. We have been together for two days, yesterday and today. Tomorrow we go. Someone is gone. Someone is going. And someone has just packed the luggage and is waiting for the transportation. That is life. Enjoy. So whatever is there, just enjoy with a positive feeling. Don’t think negative. That will turn back to you. Even if you like it or not, if you don’t like it, be neutral. But who are you to judge? Don’t take heavy burdens on you. Your heart is the best. What you are doing is best. What you believe is best, just remain. But remain like that; don’t spoil something more. Don’t make your own steps. Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.
