Śrī Rām Jai Rām. Good evening to everybody, and welcome. Today is a beautiful evening and a most beautiful constellation because we are sitting here together in the multi-star hall. "Multi" means countless. So if you want to know how many stars you are, you have to count now how many stars there will be. Happy to be here in the city of Hungary, of course, a beautiful country. This morning we had a meditation about the purification of negative energies from our body and from our mind. This kriyā, this technique, was given by Lord Śiva to God Viṣṇu. You know, Lord Viṣṇu has got in his right hand, on his index finger, one cakra, one wheel, or one disc. What is the name? Sudarśana. So wherever you see a mythological picture of Bhagavān Śrī Viṣṇu—Bhagavān Śrī Viṣṇu is also known as Sat Cit Ānanda, Sat Cit Ānanda, that is Truth, Consciousness, and Divine Bliss—he holds this cakra. "Lord" is too little, you know. A lord can be a house lord, a property lord, the lord of a car. But God is different. So, whenever we talk about the Supreme as God, Brahman, it would be good that in this language, at least in English—in your language it may be different—we say God Viṣṇu. There is one book existing that’s called Viṣṇu Ṣaṣṭranāma. Viṣṇu Ṣaṣṭranāma means, in this book, there are one thousand names of God Viṣṇu. In these spiritual names, what you call a yogic name or spiritual name, these names are connected to these thousands of names of God. Everyone which we have, the name is connected somehow to those thousands of names of God. It means these thousands of rays come through the aura of God, and we are one of those. You are one separate ray of that sun or that Sudarśana Cakra. There are 16 Sudarśana Cakras. Sixty? So when we speak about Sudarśana Cakra, which one? That’s it. So, what is the principle of these different cakras, Sudarśana cakras? What does this cakra signify? In this way, that kriyā technique, meditation, you had this morning is a creation cakra for the purification of negative energy, for destroying the āsurī śaktis. That’s why Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa tells in the Bhagavad Gītā: "yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata, abhyutthānam adharmasya tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmy aham." Whenever dharma declines and adharma takes over, then I manifest through my yogamāyācakra. Māyā, yogamāyā. "Yoga" means that yoga which balances the entire universe, unites, balances, harmonizing. And without that Śakti, without that Māyā... Māyā here must not be that kind of māyā we think of as illusion. No, not māyā as money, not māyā as beauty, not māyā as a man or a woman. Here Māyā means that Śakti, that is Yoga Śakti. Without that, even God cannot incarnate or manifest. "Whenever my Bhaktas, the Sādhus, all Bhaktas are in trouble, I come and I destroy the Āsurīśaktis and protect my Bhaktas." God Viṣṇu resides in the ocean of nectar on the bed of the Śeṣanāga. Now, Śeṣa Nāga, Śeṣa means again the thousand-headed snake. And "śeṣa" also means something different. In mathematics, when you count everything, minus, plus, everything, while counting, counting... what rest remains when you can’t count anymore? This is just what remained. That’s called śeṣa. Or, in your pocket you have 100 rupees. You give 10 rupees to someone, 20 to someone, 5 to someone, like this. While giving the whole day, in the evening what remained in your pocket, that’s called śeṣa. It remained over. Now what does this śeṣa mean? It means after all counting and everything, ultimately there is only one that remains. And that is called the truth. Now God is residing. The seat of the Lord is based on the truth, and that truth, with the thousand-headed snake, means time, the Kāla. And on that truth is balanced the Mother Earth. The entire globe is balanced on the head of the Śeṣa Nāga, which means on the truth. This planet is still existing. This planet is surviving. And this Mother Earth is enduring all the troubles that humans are causing, but still she remains because of the one truth, and that truth is the Dharma, the Satya. Always, the Satya has victory. Satyameva Jayate. The truth will win. Satyameva Jayate. The logo, the slogan of the Indian emblem, India, is Satyameva Jayate. Ultimately, the truth will win. So always the Sanātana Dharma is the winner. Many came and many disappeared, but the eternal Sanātana Dharma, which is everywhere, in everything, remains. So that God is the truth, and truth is God. And that truth is one. God is one. And that is with Viṣṇu sitting, Pārvatī doing Śiva, the Lakṣmī. What is that Lakṣmī? Bhakti. So God is love, and love is God. There is no difference between Lakṣmī and Viṣṇu. They are one. For our physical eyes, they are two. So that’s truth, and that is love. Love is the truth, and truth is love. If there is no oneness, then you are separated, and you are in trouble. And whenever in your mind some different things come, you are quieted out. You can do a thousand things; you will not get that place again. It’s gone. When the thread is broken, you cannot join it again. When you join it, it remains a knot, but that truth has no knot. That love has no knot, and that is nectar, immortality. Whoever comes there, whoever approaches, automatically becomes immortal. And God Viṣṇu is residing on that coiled, thousand-headed Śeṣa Nāga. And Nārada asked one day, "Lord, whenever I come, you are always here, resting, residing, resting all the time. Whenever I come, you are here. I’m wondering, if you have at all time for someone? You are all the time with Lakṣmī here, that’s all. You, Lakṣmī, and the poor Śeṣanāga. He’s a witness of everything." Jealousy is also something, but a question, of course, you can ask a question. Every question has an answer, and the roots of that question are the answer. If there are no questions, there is no answer. But if there is no answer, there is no question. So, "Where are you, Lord, mostly? All the times here, or with the devas, or near Śiva, or with the people, or yogīs day and night meditating and singing your name and so on? Or in the heaven, Vaikuṇṭha?" God Viṣṇu said to Nārada, "Nārada, I am not in the Vaikuṇṭha, nor in the heart of the yogīs who are meditating on me, but I am there where my bhaktas sing my name with love, my bhajans, my kīrtans, and so on." And therefore, it is said: "Kali Yuga kevala nāma ādhāra, sumira sumira nara hoī bhava pāra." In this Kali Yuga, there is only one hope for us, and that is Bhakti Yoga, the name. Kali Yuga kevala nāma ādhāra, the name and that name of the God. O men, O humans, repeat and repeat the name of God, your mantra, and you will be able to cross the ocean of this māyā, ignorance, darkness, suffering. So, in different occasions, at different times, Viṣṇu had different cakras, Sudarśana cakras. And now, that Sudarśana Cakra is Kriyā, in Kriyā Yoga. You were lucky enough today that you got that Sudarśana Cakra today. Don’t think that was only meditation, and Swāmījī did not know today what to do, and he just said it. Somewhere thinking like this, and somebody was sleeping. Yes? Now, in this Kriyā, you had this complete picture. You got it. Complete explanation. And that is the Sudarśana Cakra is there to remove, to clean, to destroy, or whatever name or word you will give, to cure negative Āsurīśaktis in the body. And the center bindu, the dot, the point, the center point of our life, when it began through the water element and our navel. Through that, this seed as a jīva, the soul, the soul enters this planet, the mother’s body, and begins to grow. So this Sudarśana cakra again begins to grow like a spiral, and around this navel begins to grow the intestine and the spine and then the brain and so on. If one observes the embryo’s growth, then one will see how it was. Similarly, in this meditation which you did this morning, if you will do it—it was only half an hour, and powerful—after that, if you have time, you can do longer. You need a time; this you can do every Sunday, or every Saturday, or every Thursday. Thursday is Jupiter, very nice, or what you call the Sunday, is the day of Viṣṇu, Lord Viṣṇu, the Sūrya Nārāyaṇa. And Surya Nārāyaṇa, Surya is that center which has so much energy that all other planets are round, circulating, moving, and it’s giving the light to everything. Nowadays, about the sun and solar system, we know very much because even in your kindergarten they are teaching these things. And everything is put into the computers, you can look. So nowadays it is very good that you cannot misguide the people; you cannot make people stupid. And those who tried, in some cultures and some traditions, to make people stupid, now not anymore. So we all know, and that’s why we are searching for that truth, that truth which is residing at that time. In that time, that snake means the time, the Kāla. Thousands of years and yugas, that truth is redone. And that truth, how can you approach that truth? There is no way to approach that truth. Holy Gurujī used to say, the sun that we see, nothing can go near the sun. Things which melt will melt, which burn will burn, and which dissolve will dissolve. Only one thing can approach that truth: love, and that love in which God-realization is. That bhāva, that feeling, that oneness. You don’t see this is a Lakṣmī and this is a Viṣṇu, or we say Viṣṇu doesn’t see Lakṣmī, Lakṣmī doesn’t see Viṣṇu. It’s not. So, that devotion to God, the true love, is not what we are thinking; it is our attachment that we want to get rid of. That is our problem, that we can’t realize that real love. We are stuck somewhere. So, we would like to go to Budapest, but some naughty children turned the signboard in the direction of another city. And you are surprised, you say, "Oh, I am in Salzburg." Because everywhere the sign turns, Budapest, Budapest, but Salzburg is not bad. Salzburg is also a good city, and there are also good people living inside that city, but they are misguided. Similarly, the temptation in this world is misguidance. And sometimes that misguiding, these worlds of temptation are so pleasant and so sweet, that you forget reality. During the time of the Mahābhārata, Kṛṣṇa tried very hard to explain to Duryodhana and all not to fight and to give the Pāṇḍavas a small place, a little, just so that they could live on in this house, that’s all. And Duryodhana said, "Not even the sharpness of the needle, I don’t want to give them place." Look how the cousin brothers are. Now it is happening. When someone dies in the family, you know how the brothers and sisters, they are fighting for money and wealth, what they inherited. "I want this, I want this," my God. That’s why it was said, thou shalt not collect. Holy Gurujī said, "Renounce, enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice." Gandhijī said, "Renounce and enjoy." Jijā said, "Now, you shall not carry with you." Mahāprabhujī said, "Don’t collect." Yes. Today I was sitting in my room and I was thinking, Maheśvar Ānand, actually you created so many complications. So many yoga centers in Budapest, in Hungary, in Croatia. So many yoga books, so many videos. Now, yes, who will fight for what? Ashrams in America, in Canada, in Australia. Now, you will see, I hope you will see harmony. One day, when this body disappears, then you will see how many good yogīs there are, and how many are self-made masters. They will say, "I was the closest disciple of Swamiji." And many will say, "Today in meditation, he came and he said, ’You are my successor.’" I will not come. Don’t believe, okay? When someone says, "Swāmījī came in the dream or meditation and gave me that," I am the success of them, say, "Thank you, that is completely wrong, but it is a proof." Play this video, yes? Evidence will never die. So, the real love, real disciples, and this beautiful work can only be carried on if we work together afterward, just as we are working now. So it’s good that Jesus said, "Thou shalt not carry." Yes, don’t carry it with you. Believe in your kismat, in your destiny. If it is in your destiny that today you will get three meals, no one can take one meal away. You will get three times. There is no power in the universe which can take your one meal away. Yes. That’s what God said, believe me. A few months ago, once Swamijī came, a sādhu came to me, visiting in Jardhan Ashram, and then in the evening, he said, "Early morning, I will go by bus." And he had to wait about 18 hours, or more than 18 hours. So I said, "Should I prepare some food for you to take on the bus?" He says, "Swamiji, what has to be carried in the stomach, I don’t carry on my shoulders." So, I have already eaten, that’s enough, and when it should be, he will bring it to me. Why should I carry? And so it is that thou shalt not carry. And that’s what we call yama and niyama. In yama-niyama, one point is, "Don’t collect." Similarly, this karma is what we are collecting. It will confuse us, and so is this kind of love, which is a material love, a kind of reflection in the wrong direction. Today, one lady came to me, and she said—she was crying—she said, "Swami, really, I want to have a family and a child." I said, this is very good, but believe in God. If He wishes, if He wants, it will be. But if you want to do without his will, then you will come to me and say, "Swāmījī, how to get rid of that terrible man?" Men are not terrible. Ladies, don’t think like that. But it was your kismet. This terrible thing is in your kismet, not in that man. So, boys, relax. Okay? If some ladies or some girls or a wife blames you, says, "No, no, sorry, I am not guilty at all, darling." It is in your kismet that you get something good today. Do we believe? Yes, we do believe. That’s it. So what to do then? It is in my kismet. Yes. She said yes. It was in my kismet, but you acted for me. Now it is in your kismet. So you will get back these things. I got rid of it. And oh, man, you will suffer more than me. Therefore, man should help to clear up the kismet of the woman, and woman should help to clear the kismet of the man through prayers. Humbleness, mutual understanding, kindness, that is beauty. So, this Sudarśana Kriyā meditation with that Bīja Mantra and the seat of the light and sound, you know, now in modern technology, there is a very powerful presentation, and that presentation is called the PowerPoint, yes? Is that it? And everybody said, "PowerPoint." I said, "My God, what is that one?" And I was sitting in there, looking at one lecture, and after, they said, "Oh, that..." It was a beautiful PowerPoint, I said, but where was the PowerPoint? I was looking everywhere, nowhere found a PowerPoint. Then they explained to me, "You see, I am an old one from how many centuries, you know? I don’t know a computer." Age. You are in the computer age. I am in the old age. We have a power point here, and here, and here. All eight cakras, that I know. So, this is Manipūra, your power point to present it on the screen of the Cidākāśa. So, the light and sound, seat of the light and sound. And so, if you understood or you were there or somewhere not there, you would see how this Sudarśana Cakra is moving very close to the whole body. It is like a big disc. Once I was driving somewhere in Austria, and they were digging a tunnel. But now, this modern technique, they have something like a grinder, a big, big wheel. And that’s cutting, grinding, going and all, it’s coming out like a powder. The beauty was very good. It’s like going in, here you are, and that was the Sudarśana Cakra. I said, "Oh my God, this is the seventeenth one." This is the seventeenth Sudarśana Cakra with the Śakti. So, Śakti and truth together, the electricity power is Śakti. So, this Darśana Cakra Kriyā which you got today, everyone can do, and you should do it every time when you do this meditation. You can play this CD. If you do one month every day, you will feel that in your body something positive changes in place. So that’s how, through meditation, through willpower, through mantra, we can purify many negative energies and understand what God is. What is the Śeṣa Nāga? So what is the Śeṣa? The Self is that which finally remains over and after all that in the universe, what’s going on, counting, counting... Only one remains. That is the truth. And that truth remains there where the love is, and that love is wisdom. That love is kindness. That love is harmony. That love is understanding. That is unity. So, today, before going to sleep, whatever you remember, do this meditation.
