A Home Blessing and Spiritual Gathering

A home is consecrated as a spiritual dwelling and an altar is established. Gratitude is expressed to all who helped create this space. The home becomes an āśrama, a place for spiritual practice. An altar provides a focal point for reverence during life's fluctuating currents. It is a place to set aside worries and connect with the divine. A couple on the yogic path is blessed to support each other towards liberation. The presence of the divine light is invoked for protection and guidance in this new home.

"An altar is like a future moment when you can go to the altar at any time and unload or set aside these worries."

"May all who come under this roof find complete contentment in this home."

This is a spiritual lecture about Yoga in the Indian tradition. And at least Johannes could have told us there are road detours. Even though I have lived on this street for several weeks, this must also be filmed. Terrible. So we have the other side of the church, where there is a Bipa market. Purī Jī, Siddha Purī Jī, Siddha... Those who have helped us, and there were truly many, who really helped us a great deal with moving the furniture, taking out the old carpets by the lake and putting in new ones, and so on. New one inside as well, very good. And in any case, I would like to sincerely thank all of you. So we will say something as well, but I think we can see for how long. Amitābha, Amitābha, Amitābha Amitābha... Amitābha, Amitābha... That was the first fundamental point. But look how happy Johannes is. He got the apartment. He was truly very, very happy. Yes. Very proud. Yes? Yes. Happy that he is in this apartment. I know it. Now it is completely clear to me why people in the West no longer want to have children. It has become clear to me. Oh, that Charan Dās, he truly has a Hanuman as well. Where is Charan Dās? The apartments there are very expensive. And no person would want to do that to the children. And why do people not want to have children? I must write that in the newspaper. Yes. Now it is very beautiful. You have worked a lot. Everyone has worked. So, 95 square meters. Only the altitude is not the same as for farmers. And do you hear the neighbor walking? No, not walking. Oh, where is he? Mahān Mahān Mahān... So, so wooden beams, and then we used about 20 centimeters thick concrete, and then plaster over it. This significantly reduces the shyness. That certainly has to be done in the alley. But our problem is the chimneys. You can hear chimneys there. Do you also have a fireplace? No, that does not exist in this house; instead, there is a central heating system, and all the apartments are supplied through one large heater. Do you think they have arrived yet? Yes, thank you. Only? Yes. I thought more about God because it was between the church and the Westbahnhof. No. Where the gas station is. The box that I once had, which I said not to let the animal fall asleep, and it did not do that. The doctor said she should do it and say everything. So she has lost her name, and she described to me that this animal will no longer be in this suffering. I then asked Mahāprabhujī. So I have smeared this caramel all over myself. Hopefully, the next life I will not be asleep. But I believe I have guided the poor animal through its truly great suffering. It was difficult for me to decide, and she could do nothing. But so, you have an āśrama, from the āśrama an apartment, a small gift. Thank you. That was perhaps very profound. I believe you have seen him. I have not seen him. You did not see him. Not seen? Purī Jī, Siddha Purī Jī, Siddha... Purī Jī, Purī Jī,... Purī Jī. I have brought something with me here in my coat. In the right cup was my coat with a poplar. Just open up and catch up. So, Johannes and Maria, I wish you all the best, much happiness, joy, harmony, love, personality, and a happy life this month. May Mahāprabhujī’s light always be here, and may Mahāprabhujī’s light possess both of you, even in health and adversity. And the good thoughts or wishes from all of us will always be with you. And may all who come under this roof find complete contentment in this home. Amitābha Amitābha... It is also very good that we have an altar here in the apartment, because there must be a place of reverence. My life is always like a river. Sometimes it is high, sometimes it is very low. And so sometimes sadness comes, sometimes certain things come in life. As mentioned, such an altar is like a future moment when you can go to the altar at any time and unload or set aside these worries. And so an altar is, as always, they have a door, also a specific symbol, an image. First, we have Gaṇeśa. I wanted to bring you a Gaṇeśa for the door, but I did not see the Gaṇeśa. That remains open, as soon as I am in India or in Saunik, that a Gaṇeśa will come. Gaṇeśa means harmony, for the altar consecration, today we have already done it now, these prayers, today there will be a mantra, light in your organ, many, many,... Amīr Bajāṃ Paṭāro, My Ganpati Dev Servant, Come... Can one do it or not? The texts are... Do you have a special preparation? Very well, then sing the specialty. This is a spiritual lecture about Yoga in the Indian tradition.... All my longings are eternally for you. For a long time, I closed myself off from you. You are love, you are bliss. You have always been there for me, always. Often I felt lonely and sad. Blind as I was clear, I did not see you. You are with me, very close within me. Deep, deep in my heart, you are with me. For a long time, I lived in darkness, tormented by worries and fears. You have come to liberate me. Stay with me, O divine Light. Now you are here, and everything becomes brighter. You bring me peace and blessing. You are with me, eternal God. Stay with me, O divine Light. When I become a painter, I come as a golden painter, right? Yes. That gives the Prasād Sālā. That’s it for today, we’ll see each other next time, goodbye! So now you are giving me a bit of complication. What is this supposed to be? Manoa? Where is Georg, Josef? Children? So this is a meter. You can measure sections of that. So if you want to measure something in your apartment and how far apart it is, and you don’t have a tape measure, then you can measure. And how? So, how far does Hans, Ernst, come to me? So you switch it on, now it’s showing, it also displays the temperature in the room, and now you come here and you can still switch to meter or four, I want the serious one, come here. I believe the seriousness we will... 905 meters, he says, but that is... That moves. It moves, yes, and the steel would have to step onto a solid wall. So from the stove, for example, from the stove to this wall. Amitābha, Amitābha,... It is 9.04 meters. No, no, we must hold the sleep longer. This is done refined at the wall. That is 5.88 meters. From here, Hagenau. From here and there Hagenau, up to the wall. And how do I pay out? Simply open. And what is that? And that is when you, when you have no caution, now you can establish yourself and hold that as the counterpart. That is something to say in between, I am therefore not turning away. And then it is transferred there, and you are, but you don’t have to beat yourself up over it. Here? And now? And, should I stay here? Amitābha Amitābha... 3, 2, 1, haha, yes, yes,... you looked too far in, you looked too far in, 1.20, yes, yes,... and up to how many meters can he measure? I do not know, but we could try from here to the last place. So I estimate you need to manage about 20 meters. So let’s continue. Human being. So, we are at the window, yes? Yes. Okay, and then there. Just pause there a little bit and then, yes? But you still have to. Not yet, not yet. And then you do it, Stefan, yes? Karatā Kevalaṃ Karatā Kevalaṃ... This is a spiritual lecture about Yoga in the Indian tradition.... There was one, Ājāto Anniyata, not Anniyata, Ananiyata. Oh, completely mistaken. I was singing Ananiyata. Now, what was the Bhajan being sung there? Which Bhajan was sung more? Yes, Ājāto Anniyata. Ananiyata, oh. Oh, yes. Not Anniyata, you were singing Ananiyata. Not Anniyata, Ananiyata. Anjaniyā Anjaniyā Not Anjaniyā, Anjaniyā So that was a mistake Anjaniyā, Not Anjaniyā, Anjaniyā Anjaniyā That was a mistake Anjaniyā, Anjaniyā Anjaniyā That was a mistake That was a mistake Amitābha Amitābha... We begin at half past eight and we begin at five o’clock. The people are becoming increasingly angrier. That means we are all here, more or less. Then we will start at half past eight in the morning and three minutes later. Is that good? Mahāprabhudīp Karatā Purī Jī, Siddha Purī Jī, Siddha... Amitābha, Amitābha, Amitābha Amitābha... Amitābha, Amitābha,... Dear Mukti, dear Muktānand, I believe we are all very impressed by your home, and we also feel the beautiful vibration that is present in these rooms. Mahāprabhujī is present everywhere, Svāmījī. It is actually almost like an āśrama, this apartment. And that is something beautiful. And what is truly special about you is that you are a couple, both on the path of Yoga. And that you have found each other. And that is indeed something rare. And therefore, Mukti, liberation, you will likely support and help each other on this path. And we wish for all of you that this may succeed for you in this dwelling every day of your life. And the prayer we have sung here, and Svāmījī’s presence, may they protect you and guide you on your shared path, and may your spiritual goal, the liberation inherent in both your names, be realized. We thank you very much for this beautiful evening. So, now we will not wait for you. Every day then slowly, slowly. I will be on the path. Because tomorrow it starts briefly at half past nine, and it is already almost half past eleven. Half past ten. Yes, half past ten. So I came home and then I also took care of a few things. Is that okay? Those who wish to travel with me, please speak up now. If everyone who came with me joins in, I’m sorry, then we are already grateful. Who is going to Ennigelstraße? No one? No one? And who is going to Ennigelstraße and has no means of transportation? We want to walk, Ennigel. It is for you. Who has no means of transportation? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 62,... 63, 62, 62, 63, 62, 62,... 62, 62,... 62. I will be dying. Also, since I was not in the form, I write it, sing the other. What we sing in the other is the same. Okay.
