Closing satsang from Vep

Discipline and purification are the path to inner peace.

Find something good in every event, for negativity is easy but fruitless. Do not cry for the past; it is gone beyond reach. Take care of the present, and the future shapes accordingly. Discipline is the foundation, as Patañjali taught. A disciplined person is happy in every aspect. Four principles must be followed: ācāra, vicāra, āhāra, vihāra. Ācāra is behavior—hate the sin, not the sinner, and embrace with understanding. Vicāra is thought purification; delete negative vṛttis from consciousness with love and compassion. Āhāra is dietary discipline; replace tamasic foods, and fast twice weekly to prevent disease. Vihāra is discerning where to go and with whom, avoiding harmful company. Practice yoga daily without compromise: minimum one hour of āsanas, half an hour of prāṇāyāma, and forty minutes of meditation. Meditation means just being in the presence of the divine, not asking or planning. Purify the maṇipūra center to dissolve anger and jealousy. Effort done honestly brings divine support regardless of belief. When the mind is purified, radiance grows naturally. Every experience, even painful, teaches lasting knowledge.

“Find in every event in your life something good.”

“Discipline. A person who is disciplined is happy in every aspect.”

Part 1: Finding the Good in Every Experience: Discipline and Purification Indescribable. If someone had told me this before, without this experience, I would have said, "No, impossible." But like this, one had the possibility to observe what was going on — not what others are telling about how it was, but what is going on in one’s own self. And, you know, thanks to God, I like to drive. I came at the moment when I asked the man who is selling the cars, "Are you sure that I am good enough to drive again?" And he was smiling and saying, "Yes, yes, no problem, just sit in the car." So it was a completely new situation — everything impossible. So much fear inside, and yet it was nothing, neither physically nor so much in the car, but indescribable. So I do not wish you to go through this experience, but I just want to tell you that anything that goes on without our Gurudev, first, it goes quicker, and second, we can learn something. And this that is staying — this knowledge — it is our knowledge. No one can take away this knowledge. So whatever happens, and even if it looks at first, ah, terrible, find something that is good, and you will understand. And when someone will come and say, "You know what to do, it happens to me like this and this," you will know. It’s coming — this knowledge is coming out of you. But, of course, with the mercy of our Gurudev. So, thank you very much. Find in every event in your life something good. So easy it is to be negative, and what can the others do? And how it’s not easy to say, "You should do this, you should do this, or you should behave like this," because every one of us is doing the best in the moment. Always, we are doing the best we can. So thank you, and carry on. Thank you. Good morning. Good night, dreams. It will take us two or three days to know everyone’s dreams, you know. Then you begin to talk and talk. So whatever dream you had, accept it — that it was a dream, and that it was good. It is gone. Bad is gone, pleasant is gone, unpleasant is gone; again the new begins. So every second things are gone, and you can’t reach them, even if you fly with the quickest, fastest rocket. Time is gone, is gone... is gone. Don’t cry for the past. Take care of the present, and the future will be like this. Those who are crying for the past are lost in time, senseless. Because you can’t bring it back, so experience is experience. For our personal well-being, we should practice. And what you do today may blossom or give fruit tomorrow, or after certain years. There is one poem: "Sukh mein dukh mein śumeran sab kare, sukh mein kare na koī, jo sukh mein śumeran kare, dukh kāī kā hoī." Everyone prays to God, everyone meditates and repeats mantra when the troubles are there. When troubles and difficulties are there, everyone is remembering God and mantras and Gurudev, and whatever Dev you are asking, Devī or Devtā, because trouble is there. But very rare is praying, meditating, and asking when you have pleasurable times, because when you are very happy, very pleased with everything, then you forget. Even if you forget your mala at home, you don’t take it with you. But when you have trouble, then you take your mālā. So dukh mein śumeran sab kare, sukh mein kare na koī, jo sukh mein śumeran kare, dukh kāy kā hoī — then there will be no troubles. At present, you are happy, you are young, or you are healthy, and so on. But after 90 years, you will say, "I must tell you that my Swāmījī was always telling me, ‘Don’t go there, don’t do this,’ and inside I was angry." I didn’t want to show him that I was angry, but the problem was that he could see that I was angry. And now I was told that I was stupid, that I was angry. I should have followed the way of life; what to do? I am talking about your health: physical, mental, emotional, social, and so on. Therefore, Patañjali, whenever he began to speak to his disciples, he said, "Discipline. Atha yogānuśāsanam." A person who is disciplined is happy in every aspect. And especially the discipline in eating. And we are all very disciplined in eating when we are in lecture, but when we come to the restaurant or somewhere, and there is this and there is this and there is this, we don’t want to hear the word "discipline" because there are so many things to eat. There were two friends. One is Vasiṣṭha and one is Maṅgalpurī. They were very, very loyal, very honest, very faithful disciples. They went for a walk. It was cold, winter, cold air, and they lost the way, lost the way. For five days, they were wandering around the hills here and there. They are strong; they were strong bodybuilders, you know, karate, self-discipline, and energy. Maṅgalpurī said he is tired, and Vasiṣṭha, they concentrate on Maṇipūra and do the Kapālabhāti. And then he did, and he got energy, Hara, the Hara center, Maṇipūra. Try to purify your Maṇipūra. On the day when Maṇipūra will be purified, you will have no jealousy, you will have no anger. Suddenly, you will become such a humble, great person. People will think, "What happened to this one? He is so nice." All problems are stuck in Maṇipūra. But of course, Maṇipūra is also the center of the fire. And two kinds of fire: anger and hunger. So, sister said, "I’m hungry." Maṅgalpurī said, "I’m hungry." And they came to one farmer’s hut. Thanks to God, they came to a farmer. The farmer was very kind, and the farmer’s lady was very kind. They came, and they welcomed them. They said, "You can have a cup of tea, hot tea, nice herbal tea with the neem leaves inside." They said, "We are so hungry that we are dying." And she said, "Well, you can have a piece of cake." So Vasiṣṭha said, "It doesn’t matter what kind of cake, please give us some. We are dying." So they got a nice cake, a big piece of cake. One cake went to Vasiṣṭha and one went to Maṅgalpurī. And Vasiṣṭha took the cake in his hand, and Maṅgalpurī said, "But Gurudev said, don’t eat cake with eggs. Can we ask the house lady if there are eggs inside?" Vasiṣṭha said, "Stupid, after eating, you can tell her. Not now, just eat. After, we will ask again, and that’s it." So when the temptation comes, discipline is gone. And when the discipline is gone, then troubles are there. Therefore, for yoga practitioners, honestly, who practice, many of you are coming because Swamijī tells good stories. Many of you come because your friends are coming and you want to see them. Many come just to satsaṅg — oh, it’s interesting, but he’s talking. Many come and say, "Oh, this Indian guy, good, he’s telling something, he has sense, but it’s not our culture." And some come really to get that realization, to get that quality. So, discipline. So for those who are honestly doing, we are sitting here, many in some way you are doing something, but not very honestly, not very seriously. Whoever is doing honestly has to follow these four principles: Ācāra, Vicāra, Āhāra, and Vihāra. These four principles are for a person who would like to achieve something in life: health, social relations, emotional balance, intellectual balance, and everything. And this is, first, Ācāra. Our behavior. Just now you heard that suddenly people don’t talk to you, like they see you like a stranger. Who said this? I was reading so many letters, but my one ear is always there, but she is talking, and one ear is what I have, and the second ear, she is telling me something. I have three ears. Yes, suddenly you feel something. Yes, because our ācār, our behavior, and the terrible thing is in this, that we don’t realize. This is this, but others see, and you are angry. Like Nārada, the great saint Nārada, one who had access to all the three worlds. Everywhere, through the entire universe, he had access without a passport, without a visa, and anytime he could be there. Anytime, even when your doors are locked, suddenly he is standing in front of you in the room. And Nārada had words from Brahmā that he should not stay longer than certain minutes, finished. Then he had to go. So you will see Nārada is all the time wandering and coming, telling this and this and that. So when someone is creating troubles between two, talking to me differently and to her differently, then we say it is Nārada philosophy. And then he was enjoying when the two were quarreling. Even he made a conflict between Śiva and Pārvatī. And Śiva knows everything, but he is, he doesn’t want to know. Pārvatī knows, she is the Divine Mother, but she doesn’t want to know. So he came one day to Pārvatī and said, "Mother, I... I can’t say anything to you. You know everything. But you know, Śiva’s body is so poisoned. He drank that poison from the Samudra Manthan. And you are bathing him and washing his body. Are you not afraid that poison will suddenly go into your body and you die?" He said, "Don’t worry, his body is not poison." He said, "It’s so poisonous, bitter poison." He said, "Yes, mother, but he is Lord Śiva. It doesn’t matter, you know." Again, a little cream on it. "I adore him; he’s a universal Lord. Only he can digest the poison. But, what is ‘but’? But I’m afraid for you." So he said, "Don’t worry, if I die, I will die." "Yes, but how will you die? Take care. I tell you, mother, one thing: take care, please. And don’t tell that I told you. Otherwise, I am in trouble. I will never be able to stand in front of Śiva. Promise, Mother." She said, "Well, there is no promise." "But what do you want to say? Tomorrow, when you wash Bhadra Śiva, tell him, ‘Look, Lord, on the peak of the mountain, it is like you are on the top.’ And when Śiva looks up, you take your tongue and taste his shoulder, lick his shoulder like this. You will experience how much poison." Ok, she was waiting for tomorrow, nice hot water, and so, there was no soap that time, you know, only earth, mud, and ash. And then he went to Śiva, "Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya, Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya, My Lord." The Nārada, God Śiva said, "Nārada, this time you..." He came after a long time, he said, "Lord, I am always with you, always, my Lord, you are my heart. My every heartbeat is Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya, Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya. And when you come to Viṣṇu, then my whole heartbeat is Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa. Lord, you know, you are the winner of death. Death cannot come to you. All the devils and rākṣasas, they are all under you. All Devas, Divine, you are Mahādev, Mahādev." Śiva said, "Yes, go ahead. What do you want to tell?" "But, my Lord," he said, "what is ‘but’? I know, Lord, you don’t care about your body. You don’t care about your body, but we must care about you. We must care. Say, what is it? You know, you are the universe. And Divine Mother Pārvatī is the whole entire universe. So, you and she are one. There is no problem." So, she must say, "What is the problem?" "No, Lord, there is no problem. You know, sometimes the woman’s nature..." He said, "Go ahead. Go ahead. There is some quality in her which I don’t like. I’m afraid." "Quality? She is waiting to eat you. She has eaten me already. There is nothing left. Nothing is left, so I can’t say anything." "In that case, what is that?" So, it is said, when she gives you a bath, she is only afraid that your body is full of poison. And she tried to wash away all your poisons, and then she tried to test your body to see if it was still poison or not with her tongue. That’s my concern, my big concern. But Lord, nothing to worry, don’t worry, nothing will happen. It’s okay. She’s nice, she’s kind, she’s divine. I adore her. Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa, Śiva, Śiva. Now, it puts the blackmailing; that’s called blackmail. Next, Pārvatī came with two big balls of nice, warm, hot water, and Śiva was sitting there. He put his cobra there, and the cobra was looking there. Pārvatī gave it. The small cobra was there. Also, Śiva ordered them to be concentrated on Pārvatī, and the Nandi was sitting. Śiva put his trident on one side and his beautiful moon, and Pārvatī began to wash. And he told her that, Nārada said, when she tells you to look at the peak of the mountain, that minute you must be very careful. And she said, "Lord, look, on the top of Mount Kailash, like your picture, you are there." He was looking up with one eye, and with the other eye there, and she took her tongue out to test Shiva’s shoulder. And she got up and ran away. Pārvatī said, "Lord, Lord, what happened?" She said, "I know what happens." And so it created a family conflict. Then, of course, they came to know this poem. Aha! Śiva asked Pārvatī, "Was Nārada there in your room, in your cave, yesterday?" She said, "Yes. He came to make praṇām, and he talked only one minute, nothing else." And she said, "Was he with you, my Lord?" He said, "Yes." What did he say? What did he tell you? Everything was very clear. Now Nārada doesn’t dare to come to Śiva. God! And Cobra said, "We will guard now. He has no chance to come near." So sometimes that’s a political matter. Such a politics that people are happy to see that they are quarreling. To create trouble, that’s called a troublemaker. But whose antakaraṇa is purified, and nābhi kamala, the hara śakti is purified, that one has the ability to purify others’ mistakes and unite. So, first of all, ācār, behavior — behave in such a way that, as Mahātmā Gāndhī said, we hate the sin, not the sinner. Yes? We hate the sin, but not the sinner. So embrace or hug the person who is very terrible and made many mistakes, but though he or she made a mistake, inside she or he is longing for love, for understanding. It doesn’t matter what the child did; the mother or father will take them on their lap and say, "Okay, my child, don’t worry." So develop the heart of a mother, a father, a best friend, a best husband, a gurubhai, your guru — ācāra, behavior. Now vicāra. The second that Patañjali said, "Citta vṛtti nirodha," purify those vṛttis from your citta, sat chitta ānanda — that’s from that citta, from your consciousness. In your consciousness, there are no existing negative vṛttis. A holy saint said, "I am sorry, in my dictionary there is no negative word, I can’t find." In the dictionary of a great saint, a great person, there are no negative words inside. Okay, boy, you understand? No more problem? And if there is some word existing negatively in your dictionary, then take the rubber and delete it. How to delete? Rubber is very soft, so you can delete with love. Love is very soft. You can deal with kindness, that’s very soft. Part 2: The Four Pillars of Yoga: Ācāra, Vicāra, Āhāra, Vihāra and the Path to Inner Peace You can delete with understanding, not misunderstanding. So the softness of your heart is called compassion. Purījī, Purījī... Our vṛttis are polluted, smoked. Then the light of knowledge, the light of wisdom, is too little. Then you see double, and your inner fear comes out; you vomit out all your inner fear. Therefore, in our dictionary, in our vṛttis, Patañjali said second, “Citta Vṛtti Nirodha,” purify all those vṛttis which disturb you and disturb others. Kleśa Akleśa – this Kleśa, Kleśa means troubles. The vṛtti with the Kleśa is the most destructive factor in our life, so purify it. So ācāra, behavior, means my relation to you. When I am going and someone is in a hurry to go, I step one foot away, one step away – please. Please, you can go. So at that time, you create a bridge to that heart. Even if you don’t know the person, the person will say, “Oh, thank you.” Accept it. If one says, “I’m in a hurry,” then you say, “But I’m also hurrying. Stay here.” Then you break the bridge. Don’t hurry even to die. Understand me? If someone says, “I want to die early first,” you say, “Don’t say no, I want to die first.” Don’t say, “Okay, please.” First, you. So, there we are, clever enough. Ācāra, vicāra, āhāra. Discipline also in our diet. And this is also our weak point. And therefore, we are all looking at different faces now. Everyone is sitting here, but if we see the face, the aura is dull. Dull. The aura is a little bit like foggy. Very few of us have a clear one. It’s not that you are not vegetarian, you are vegetarian, but I see too much cheese on the cheek. The cheese and cheek have the same first letter, you know. And cheese is mostly tamas guṇa. Therefore, replace a little bit of the cheese with tofu, tofan. This is what they call Indian paneer. But not preserved, immediately made and utilized. That is all. So, because you are vegetarian, you can eat cheese, you can eat butter, and you can eat bread, and now your cheeks are like the best bread with cheese on it. It looks nice, but you know, this cheese that we have here on the cheek is not only here, but here also on the heart inside and on the veins. So, therefore, in yoga, it is said, fasting. If you fast twice a week, you can avoid many, many diseases. And especially what we spoke about yesterday, about cancer. Give your body time to eat everything away. You have immunity. It will digest, it will protect, and Agneśaya Kṛiyā. So, discipline – who is practicing discipline yoga? Now you are on that level, you have to practice every day. Minimum two and a half hours. Minimum. No compromise. Then you are safe. Half an hour this and five minute mantra, “Mahāprabhujī, I have my examination, help me, help me.” Even in examination, mālā, even in left hand and right hand, deep nirajasa. “Mahāprabhujī, is this correct?” I am surprised that Mahāprabhujī is sitting in front of the student in the examination room and on the table and answering, “Yes, correct.” I would also do a lot of things, Mahāprabhujī. When I ask him, “Is it correct?” he looks seriously at me. And he said, “So, ācāra vicāra āhāra.” And fourth is called vihāra. Vihāra means going. Where you go, which company you have, you invite troubles or you invite friendships. So, where to go, where not to go, when to go, and which time not to go. Night going here and there is called, in next life you will be a cat family and snake, the reptile. The cat and the reptilian are searching for food in the night, in the darkness. Please don’t be angry with me, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen. And if you go, then go with the light to the satsaṅg, okay. You will say, “Swamiji, we are also coming to satsaṅg in the evening. What about us?” We will be a reptile? Yes. You will be a reptile, but in the neck of Lord Śiva, sitting there. Okay, so even a reptile, but in the neck of Śiva. My God. Who has that luck to be in his neck? All snakes are jealous. Everybody. No one dares to come, even Viśva. Vishnu doesn’t dare to come near Shiva, but he is enjoying himself on his neck. So even I am bad, but I am dying, O Gurudev, that’s it, I will be dying. Therefore, where to go, when to go, how to go, and so on. So, ācāra, vicāra, āhāra, vihāra – these are the four principles which we should follow in life to be happy, safe, and have a healthy, bright future. We humans try our best, and what we try our best, God will definitely give us something. If you believe in God or you don’t believe in God, that doesn’t matter to God. If you believe there is a sun, or you don’t believe there is a sun, it doesn’t matter for the sun if you believe or not. The sun is the sun, that’s all. Now if you say it is not a sun, it is a moon, the sun doesn’t mind. Therefore, God is there, and it is we who create a relation to God. It is we who realize that quality in our heart, and that quality is God. This is the first, that our ācāra, our behavior with our friends, even with animals, with nature, and with everyone. So again, two and a half hours minimum, one hour without any compromise, minimum one hour, otherwise one hour and 15 minutes of āsanas. You don’t need to worry about many diseases. Yeah. If you do or don’t do, you will die one day. You will do or not do, you will get old or young. Destiny is different, but there are two kinds of death. One is sudden, and one is lifelong. When you use a drug, alcohol, you are an alcoholic; you are killing yourself lifelong, slowly, slowly, slowly. That is very painful. For you, for the family members, for the friends, and for everyone, that’s called torturing yourself. So you are torturing yourself mentally also. You create such a mental conflict towards someone or towards something, and you are suffering. And that suffering is a mental cancer. It doesn’t matter who is who. If I am like that, then I am suffering. Then why unnecessarily do we keep this burden, this garbage in our citta, in our inner space, citta vṛtti. So, one hour and a half, one hour and fifteen minutes, asanas. Okay, you have joint pain, I understand. But if you will not practice, you will have a hundred times more joint pain. Okay, because then you will have so many kilos, and the joints are doubly suffering. Everyone says, “Oh, my knees, I am getting old.” And what then, ask knees, why are you so painful? They say, yes, because you have here so many things. How long should I carry? So little kilos, less burden for the knee. It is very clear. One hour and fifteen minutes of āsanas and eleven rounds of Khāṭū Praṇām in any case, twice a day. 11 rounds. Now, one hour and fifteen minutes remain. So, half an hour of prāṇāyāma minimum, or 40 minutes of prāṇāyāma. According to your level of yoga, yoga and daily life, then rest for 40 minutes of meditation or one hour. I tell you that in June, when I come back, you will be a different, divine person. Your radiance will be better, and when someone talks stupid, say thank you. That’s not satsaṅg, I’m going. What Kabīr Dās jī said, “Kān diyā sun gyān re.” The Lord gave you the ears to listen to the wisdom. Hand it over, give it as a gift, as an offering. Hence, God gave you to give something. “Mat kar moh to, mat kar moh to.” Yes, it was easy for Kabīr Dāsī to write. You now see this holy sense. For them, it’s very easy to put something, and whole life we are struggling. That’s called hope, so we are hanging on the rope of hope. “Dīna bandhu, dīna nātha, merī ḍorī tere hātha,” O Lord, O Lord of me, the string of my life is in your hand. Please, sometimes move the string toward you, Lord, so that I may come to God. Now we have here, I see just now Yosef Gal from Maribor, our dear friend, our brother, who actually began yoga activities here in Croatia and Slovenia and this part of ex-Yugoslavia. So, Yosef, you want to speak something? Make this that was spoken. We don’t want to give him trouble; he has a problem walking all the way here. So, we were there practicing. Meditation is the key to our success. Meditation is mostly just with humbleness, surrender, and mānasika pūjā. Mantra, mantra. During meditation, do not imagine the troubles or future plans. Don’t think about what you will do and what you will not do. Meditation is there to purify our cidākāśa, citta vṛtti. Meditation is there to feel the peace, śānti, inner śānti. But if you create the vṛttis, then there is no śānti. Either you have śānti or a śānti. Even the good thoughts are a śānti at that time. So meditation means just to be, that’s all. Just to be. Just to be in the presence of God. Just feel that you are sitting with Guru Dev, with Mahāprabhujī or Gurujī. And don’t ask him for anything in meditation. If you ask him, his answer will be this. Tell him, “Thank you, I know.” Should I do something? Please help me. So this one is in all, and all is in one. This mudra Mahāprabhujī gave, many people are imitating now, doing like this. But this is the answer to everything. If you ask, “I have problems,” he said, “I know everything, don’t talk.” The problem is solved, Mahāprabhujī said, I know, don’t talk. Everything is one. Therefore, whenever we practice like this, we are practicing meditation. Feel the presence. Just feel the being presence. So, now we will have a meditation with open eyes. Okay? And you just make your mantra and feel our presence. You know, each of you contributes a positive feeling. Okay? Anyone who has a problem, please, for a while, put your problems in the right pocket somewhere, not in the left pocket. And if you can’t think and put positive energy, then at least don’t do anything, please. So try to contribute a nice thought, a nice feeling. Feel the Gurudev, the presence. And that’s one likeness bhajan, Gurudev. Hari Om, dear brothers and sisters. I would like to announce that, from this beautiful weekend, we, the Swamiji TV team, will prepare one nice DVD. I would like to announce that, from this beautiful weekend, the Swāmījī TV team will make a new, nice DVD, and we are hopefully producing it already, so that next weekend in Strilky you will be able to get it. Hari Om, first of all, I would like to tell you that we are all very lucky to share the same space, the same account with Gurudev. And the credit also goes to the divine technique, because it is not only us who are lucky in this place, but everyone else who is watching us all over the world through the webcast. And on behalf of the global observers, I would like to express my appreciation to Indrājī, Guru Mukherjee, and Chitrā Parījī. Puri Jī, and please kindly proceed forward, because we would like to thank you. Please come forward. We have two questions to be answered. One question was from Sasha Saraswati from Zagreb, Croatia. Sasha and Saraswati are talking about their son, who is two years old, and his eating habits. So let it be as it is, okay? The answer is this. Are you here, Sasha? Tell them. Okay, tell them. Dear my landlord, dear my lord, yesterday you spoke about the protocol of satsaṅg. Did I? So it means me. Oh, upgrading. Satsaṅg in yoga in daily life. Before your video satsaṅg in Bhagavad Gītā, what is that? Past? You write here: Boa Lada Peta, Budapest. In Hungary they write like Budapest on Mandir Satsaṅg. We always watch film about Lord Rāma, Lord Kṛṣṇa, Lord Śiva, etc. Is it okay? Yes? Video means not only mine, okay? I didn’t say watch my videos. Did I say? So, some good videos, cultural videos, Rāmāyaṇa, Bhagavad Gītā, doesn’t matter, Kṛṣṇa, about Mahāprabhujī, about our satsaṅg, okay? Lord Shiva said, “Do you let us continue?” Of course, of course... no question, you should do it, okay? Thank you. So this was a question also. And you remember, yesterday I told about our one sister. She sold the water from the holy mound, Kelās, Mansarovar, and she is supporting our children’s project with this. So she sold it and gave me 50 euros. So, please, who is taking care of this money? Gyanaputra. Thank you. We need this for children and for everybody. So thank you, the floor is yours. And I would like to express my thankfulness to Swāmījī, that his trust in us is unshakable. He has inspired us again, and he has bestowed his satsaṅg upon us again. Thank you, Kṛṣṇānand. It’s my flowers. Why are you talking to me? That’s how all disappears. All prasāda disappears. Something more? Okay, we know that a lot of programs and you have daily family duties, but next week we are in Strilky weekend, and then, you know, for yogīs, for us, it means a lot: Guru Pūrṇimā and Śivarātri. And this Śivarātri, I was thinking that some brāhmaṇa would come, some priest from India. Unfortunately, he didn’t receive his passport. He already applied five months ago, but still. India is a very big country, you know, so it takes time to process things. Even five years is too early to get. So unfortunately, we will not have some other Paṇḍit, but you are all better than many Paṇḍits. We will come and sing bhajans and have it in Vienna, under the Vienna Śiva temple. And we would like to create one temple. So, if not in Austria, we would like to make it on the border of Hungary and Austria. So, we need your support also in that way. But at least you support by coming and having a nice festival, okay? So you are all invited for the Śivarātri Satsaṅg. And the next day, I think I will fly. Next, the holy festival is coming, and for the holy festival, I will be in San Francisco. Very nice and hot. After 20 years, I am going back to San Francisco, or 18 years. I was there quite many times. And now, again, one of our disciples opened the center. I will be going there, so you are all welcome to the holy place, to San Francisco. You know, there is one big jumbo airplane which has more than five or six hundred people. So we can all book the two. Wish you all the best and many, many blessings.
