Good evening, everyone. How are you? Very good. Welcome, and I wish you a very happy Diwali. You are the fortunate ones to be here today with us, especially here in this āśram, and in this hall, Bhakti Sāgara, where Gurujī performed a great deal of tapasyā and meditation. Fortunate indeed are those who can be here on the special occasion of a spiritual festival. Generally, life itself is a festival. Life is a festival; life is happiness. It is only a matter of how we think, whether we think "I am happy" or "I am unhappy." But when one comes to the holy dust of the holy lotus feet of the saints, the Gurudev, fortunate are they. You know, it is our destiny, your good karma, that has selected today for you to be here. It is not easy. Such an occasion is rare. Otherwise, there are many obstacles: holidays, money, family problems, health problems, visa problems—what not, all of them. So, thank you and welcome, and I wish you a happy Deepavali. Another thing: today is Mahāprabhujī’s incarnation day. So you are the fortunate ones. Tonight, according to the Līlā Amṛt, we know that Mā Prabhujī incarnated. So we have a very spiritual day of remembrance, one which is 10,000 years old. The festival of Deepavali has been going on for 10,000 years. When we celebrate Christmas, we plant the Christmas tree. That Christmas tree is the tree of our Deepavali. So the Christmas tree is actually also the festival of Deepavali. You know, the last Pūrṇimā was Śarad Pūrṇimā, which means winter begins. The sun moves to the south. And Christmas is also the time when, in that part of Europe, winter begins on the 21st of December, and then Christmas comes. Here we are. So all the festivals are related to Vedic culture, Vedic dharma. So, once again, a most welcome and I wish you a happy Diwalī. Now you will enjoy the lights, the Dīpak’s, outside, and further we will have a little talk outside in the open air. First is eating—on an empty stomach I cannot meditate, Krishna. Here is your mala. I cannot practice. So first, bhojan, and then bhojan. That’s it. Also, for our bhaktas in Europe, I will tell a few words in German so that they can also hear, no? Because they are going to have a webcast. [German:] Also, wir immer, heute dieser Segen kommt von unserem heiligen Ort, Jadenashram. Today is the Pālī, the festival of light and also the incarnation day of our Mahāprabhujī. Those who are blessed are happy, those who can be here today together with us. The others are also happy that they will meditate today and have prayer and satsaṅg. Today is Friday, and we have satsaṅg day. I wish you all the best, Happy Diwali, Mahāprabhujī Satsaṅg, and in thought, of course, I will also be with you. No matter where you are, I wish you all the best.
