Closing satsang from Vep

The unshakable knowledge is found within direct experience, not second-hand accounts. Observe what is happening within yourself. Any event, even one that initially seems terrible, contains something good to learn. This discovered knowledge is permanent and cannot be taken away. Time is perpetually gone; do not cry for the past but take care of the present to shape the future. People often remember God only in trouble, but if one prays during pleasure, trouble may not come. Discipline is essential for happiness, particularly in behavior, thought, diet, and recreation. Follow the four principles: ācār (conduct), vicār (thought), āhār (diet), and vihār (recreation). Purify the mental modifications (vṛttis) through compassion, allowing your inner light to shine. A disciplined daily practice of āsana, prāṇāyāma, and meditation is required. Meditation is not for planning but for simply being in a state of peace and feeling the divine presence.

"Find in every event in your life, something good."

"Āchār, vichār, āhār, and vihār—these are the four principles we should follow in life to be happy, safe, and have a healthy, bright future."

Part 1: The Unshakable Knowledge Within Indescribable. If someone had told me about this before, without the experience, I would have said it was impossible. But like this, one had the possibility to observe what is going on. Not what others tell about how it was, but what is going on in oneself. And, you know, thanks to God, I like to drive. I came to the moment when I asked the man who was selling the cars, "Are you sure that I am good enough to drive again?" 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 it was nothing—neither physically nor so much in the car. Indescribable. So I do not wish you to go through this experience, but I just want to tell you that anything that’s going on without our Gurudev, first it goes quicker. And second, we can learn something, and this is what is staying: this knowledge is our knowledge. No one can take away this knowledge. So whatever happens, and maybe it looks at first terrible, find something, something good in it, and you will understand. And when someone will come and say, "You know what to do," it happens to me like this and this, and you will know it’s coming. This knowledge, it’s 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. It is so easy to be negative and tell what the others can do, and how it’s not easy. Not to say you should do this, you should do that, or you should behave like this, because every one of us... we are doing the best in the moment. Always, we are doing the best we can. So, thank you, and Hari Om. Thank you. Good morning, good night, dreams. It will take us two to three days to know everyone’s dreams, you know. Then you begin to talk and talk, so whatever you had, a dream, accept it, that it was a dream. And that which was good is gone. Bad is gone. Pleasant is gone. Unpleasant is gone. Again, new begins. So every second, things are gone. And you can’t reach, 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 so that the future will be like this. Those who are crying for the past are lost in time, senseless, because you can’t bring back experiences. For our personal well-being, we should practice. And what you do, maybe for today and tomorrow, or after certain years, will be blossoming or giving fruits from what you do today. There is one poem. Everyone prays to God. Everyone meditates and repeats mantra when the troubles are there. When the 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 pleasure time. Because when you are very happy, with great pleasure and everything, then you forget. Even if you forget your mālā at home, you don’t take it with you. But when you have trouble, then you take your mālā and say, "Mahāprabhujī, Gurudev, Gurudev..." Mahāprabhujī, Gurudev, Gurudev, Gurudev. Like this. Otherwise, you say, "Oh, my friend will see what this is," and I will say, "Ma, a shame for you." Why? Why? So, śukh me śumeran jo kare to dukh kāy kā hoī. If you will pray and remember God, even on the book, your pleasure time, then why will trouble come? No trouble will come. So dukh mein śumeran sab kare, sukh mein kare na koī, jo sukh mein śumeran kare, dukh kāī kā hoi, then there will be no troubles. At the 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. Yes. 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. A person who is disciplined is happy in every aspect, and especially the discipline in eating. 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, we don’t. Want to listen to 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, and they went for a walk. It was cold winter. Cold air, and they lost the way. For five days, they were wandering around hills and these and there. They are strong; they were strong bodybuilders, you know, Karate’s self-discipline and energy, Maṅgal Purī. He said, "I’m tired." And his sister, they concentrate on Manipūra and do the Kapāla Mati, and then indeed he got energy. Hara, the Hara center, Manipūra, try to purify your money. On the day when Manipūra will be purified, you will have no jealousy, you will have no anger. Suddenly, you will become such a humble, great person, people. We will think, "What happened to this one? So nice." All problems here are stuck in Manipur, but of course, Manipur is also the center of the fire, and two kinds of fire: anger and hunger. So my sister said, "I’m hungry." Mangalpuri said, "I’m hungry," and they came to one farmer’s hut, thanks to God, they came to the farmer, and the farmer was very kind, and the farmer’s lady was a very kind lady. 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 my sister said, "It doesn’t matter, any kind of cake, give us, please. We are dying." So they got a nice cake, a big piece of cake. One cake got my sister. And one got Maṅgalpurī, and my sister took in his hand cake, and Maṅgalpurī said, "But Gurudev said, ’Don’t eat cake with eggs.’ Can we ask the house lady if there’s eggs inside?" What? Sister said, "Stupid! After eating, you can tell her? Ask them!" Not now, just eat. After, we will ask it 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 us 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, has a 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. Who’s doing honestly? They have to follow these four principles: āchār, vichār, āhār, and vihār. These four principles are for a person who would like to achieve something in life, health, social relations and emotional balance, intellectual balance, and everything. The first is ācār, 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, so, but my one year is always there, but she’s talking, and one year’s what I went, second year she’s telling me something, so I have three years, yes. Suddenly you feel something, yes, because our ācār, our behavior, and terrible thing is in this, that we don’t realize this: 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 passport, without visa, and any time he could be there any time. Even your doors are locked, suddenly he’s standing in front of you. 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 said it’s 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 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 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? It’s 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 is the universal Lord. Only he can digest the poison. What is better? But I am 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. 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, bathe Shiva, and tell him, ’Look, Lord, on the peak of the mountain, it is like you. You are all. You are like on the top.’ And when Shiva sees up, you..." Take your tongue and test, test his shoulder. Lick his shoulder like this. You will experience how much poison. Okay? She was waiting for tomorrow, nice hot water, and so there was no soap that time, you know. That was only earth, mud, and then he went to Shiva. Om Namah Śivāya, Om Namah Śivāya, my Lord. The Nārada God Śiva said, "Nārada, this time you came after a long time." He said, "Lord, always I am with you, always, my Lord. You are my heart. My every heartbeat is Om Namah Śivāya, Om Namah Śivāya, and when you come to the Viṣṇu, then my all 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 Mahādeva. Mahādeva." Śiva said, "Yes, go ahead. What do you want to tell?" But, my Lord, I 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 say what is... you know, you are the universe, and Divine Mother Pārvatī is the..." The whole entire universe, so you and she are one. There’s no, so she was not much problem. No, Lord, there is no problem. You know, sometimes the woman nature, he said, "Go ahead, go ahead. There is some quality in her which I don’t like. I’m afraid." Which quality? She’s waiting to eat you. He said, "She has eaten me already. There’s nothing left, nothing left, so I can’t say anything." In that case, what is that? So it is said, when she gives you bath, she is only afraid that your body is full of the poison. And she tried to wash away all your poisons. And then she tried to test your body to see if it was still poisoned or not with the tongue. That’s my concern, a big concern. But Lord, nothing to worry. God worries, nothing will happen. It’s okay. She’s nice. She’s kind. She’s divine. I adore her. Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa, Śiva, Śiva. We went away. Now it put 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. The cobra was looking there, Parvati. The small cobra was there. Also, Shiva ordered them to be concentrated on Pārvatī. And the Nandi was sitting. She put his threshold on one side, and his beautiful moon, and Pārvatī began to wash. And he told her that Nārada said, "When she tells you..." That look on the peak of the mountain, that minute you must be very careful. And she said, "Lord, look on the glass mount on the top, like you, your picture, you are there." He was looking up with one eye, and one eye there, and she took her tongue out to test Śiva, Śodara and Śe Śodara, Śiva got up and ran away. Pārvatī said, "Lord, lord, what happens?" He says, "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 yesterday there in your room, in your cave?" 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 he told, what he told 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 here, so sometimes that’s a politic, such a politic, that people are happy to see that they are quarreling to create the trouble. That’s called a troublemaker, but whose antaḥkaraṇa is purified and nābhi kamala, the hāra śakti is purified, that one has the ability to purify others’ mistakes and unite. So first of all, aha, sorry, achar, behavior, behave in such a way that, as Mahātmā Gandhi 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 has made many mistakes. But though he or she made mistakes, inside, he or she is longing for love, for understanding. Like, it doesn’t matter what the child did, the mother or father will take on the left and say, "Okay, my child, don’t work so much." Develop the heart of a mother, father, best friend, best husband, guru, by your guru’s ācār, behavior. Vichār, the second, then. Then Patañjali said, "Chitta vṛtti nirodha," purify those vṛttis from your chitta. Sat chit ānanda, that’s from that chitta, from your consciousness. In your consciousness, there are no existing negative vṛttis. A holy saint said, "I’m 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 problem. More, and if there is some word existing negative in your dictionary, then take the rubber, delete it. How to delete? Rubber is very soft, so you can delete with the love. Love is very soft, you can delete. With kindness that’s very soft, you can delete it with understanding, not misunderstanding. So the softness of your heart, it’s called compassion, that can delete all the negativities. Then your inner light will go up, like where we have a candle and on the... Part 2: The Light of Discipline and the Path to Peace At the top of a candle, where the wick is, there is a coming, a collecting of smoke. The light becomes very little. If you carefully take that smoke away, the light begins to burn brighter again. Similarly, when our consciousness, our intellect, our buddhi, and our vṛttis are polluted or smoked over, then the light of knowledge, the light of wisdom, is too little. Then you see double, and your inner fear comes out; you vomit it all out. Therefore, in our tradition, Patañjali said second: "Chitta vṛtti nirodhaḥ." Purify all those vṛttis which disturb you and disturb others. Kāleṣa akāleṣa ha. This kaleśa means troubles. A vṛtti accompanied by kaleśa is the most destructive factor in our life. So, purification. Then, ācār—behavior. This means my relation to you. When I am walking and someone is in a hurry, I step one foot aside. I step away to please you, so you can pass. In that moment, you create a bridge to that person's heart. Even if you do not know them, the person will say, "Oh, thank you. Accept it." If I said, "I am in a hurry," and you reply, "But I am also in a hurry. Stay here," then you break the bridge. Do not hurry even to die, understand? If someone says, "I want to die early," you should not say, "No, I want to die first." Do not say, "Okay, please, you first..." So, we must be clever enough in ācār, vicār, āhār—discipline also in our diet. This is our weak point, and therefore we all look different now. Everyone is sitting here, but if we see the face, the aura is dull, dull. Our eyes are a little foggy. Very few have clear eyes. It is not that you are not [spiritual]. You are vegetarian, but I see too much cheese on your cheek. "Cheese" and "cheek" share the same first letter. Cheese is mostly tamas guṇa. Therefore, replace the cheese a little with tofu, with what they call Indian paneer—but not preserved, made fresh and utilized immediately. This is important because you are vegetarian, and you can eat cheese, and you can eat butter, and you can eat bread. Now your cheeks are like the best bread with cheese on it. It looks nice, but you know this cheese is not only here on the cheek, but also here on the heart, inside and on the veins. Therefore, in yoga, it is said that fasting—if you can fast twice a week—can help you avoid many, many diseases, especially what we spoke about yesterday, like cancer. Give your body time to eat everything away. You have an immunity. It will digest, it will protect, and ignorance is cured. So, discipline. Who is practicing discipline? You, in yoga, are on that level. You have to practice every day, a minimum of two and a half hours. No compromise. When you are safe, [you think] half an hour here and five minutes of mantra: "Mā Prabhujī, I have my examination, help me, help me." Even in an examination, with your mālā in your left hand and right hand, [you say] "Deep nirājasa. Mā Prabhujī, is this correct?" I am surprised that Mā Prabhujī is sitting in front of the student in the examination room, on the table, answering, "Yes, correct." She would also do a lot of things, Mā Prabhujī. When I ask, "Is this correct?" she looks seriously at me and says, "So, āchār, vichār, āhār, and the fourth is called vihār." Vihār means going—where you go, which company you have. Do you invite troubles or do you invite friendships? So, where to go, where not to go, when to go, and which time not to go? Going here and there at night means that in the next life you will be in a cat family or a snake... a reptile. Cats and reptiles search for food in the night, in darkness. Please do not be angry with me, boys and girls, and ladies and men, gentlemen. If you go, then go with the light, to the satsaṅg. You will say, "Swāmījī, we are also coming to satsaṅg in the evening. What about us? Will we be reptiles?" Yes, you will be a reptile, but sitting on the neck of Lord Śiva. So even a reptile, but on the neck of Śiva. My God, who has that luck? To be in His neck—all His snakes are jealous. Everyone, no one dares to come. Even Viṣṇu doesn't dare to come near Śiva, but he [the reptile] is enjoying His neck. So even if I am bad, I am dying. "Oh Gurudev, that's it. I will be dying." Therefore, where to go? When to go? How to go? And so on. So, āchār, vichār, āhār, vihār—these are the four principles we should follow in life to be happy, safe, and have a healthy, bright future. We humans try our best, and for what we try our best, God will definitely give us something, whether you believe in God or you do not believe in God. That does not matter to God. If you believe in the sun or you do not believe, if there is no sun, it does not matter. For the sun, if you believe or not, the sun is the sun, and that is all. If you say it is not the sun, it is the moon, the sun does not 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; that quality is God. This is the first: our ācār, 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 fifteen minutes of āsanas. You do not need to worry about many diseases. Yes, if you do or do not do, you will die one day. You will do or not do, you will get old or young. That is destiny. 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 friends, and for everyone. That is called torturing yourself. So you are torturing yourself mentally also. You create such a mental conflict toward someone or something, and you are suffering. That suffering is a mental cancer. It does not matter who is who. If I am like that, then I am suffering. So why unnecessarily do we keep this burden, this garbage in our citta, in our inner space, our citta vṛtti? So, one hour and fifteen minutes of āsanas. Okay? You have a 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 will suffer doubly. Everyone says, "Oh, my knees! I am getting old." And what then? Ask your knees, "Why are you so painful?" They will say, "Because you have so many things here. How long should I carry them?" So little kilos, little burden for the knee. It is very clear: one hour and fifteen minutes of āsanas and eleven rounds of Khāṭu Prāṇāyāma, in any case, twice a day. Eleven rounds. Now, one hour and fifteen minutes remain. So, half-hour pranayama minimum, or 40 minutes pranayama, according to your level of yoga and daily life. And then the rest, 40 minutes meditation, or one hour. I tell you that in June, when I come back, you will be different, divine, personal. Your radiance will be better. And when someone talks? Stupid. Say thank you? That is not satsaṅg. I am going. But Kabīr Dās said, "Lord gave you the ears to listen to wisdom." Hence, God gave you [ears] to give something. It was easy for Kabīr Dās to write, right? Now, see, for these holy saints it is very easy to put something [into words], and our whole life we are struggling. That is called hope, so we are hanging on the rope of hope. "O Lord, the string of my life is in your hand. Please, sometime move the string towards you, Lord, that I may come to God." Now we have here, I see just now, Yosef Gal from Maribor, our dear friend, our brother, who began the yoga activities here in Croatia and Slovenia and this part of ex-Yugoslavia. So Yosef, do you want to speak something? So we were there practicing. Meditation is the key to our success. Meditation is mostly just humbleness, surrender, and mānasik pūjā. Mantra, mantra. During meditation, do not imagine troubles or future plans. Do not think about what you will do and what you will not do. Meditation is there to purify our cidākāśa, our citta vṛtti. Meditation is there to feel the peace, śānti, inner śānti. But if you create vṛttis, then there is no śānti. Either you have śānti or aśānti. Even good thoughts are aśānti at that time. So meditation means just to be, that is all. Just to be. Just to be in the presence of God. Just feel that you are sitting with Gurudev, with Mahāprabhujī or Gurujī. And do not ask him in meditation anything. If you ask him, the answer will be this. Tell him, "Thank you, I know." "Should I do something? Please help me." So, this is one in all, all in one. This mudrā 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, do not talk." The problem is solved. Mahāprabhujī said, "I know, do not talk." Everything in one. Therefore, always when we make like this, then we make like this. 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 your right pocket somewhere, not in your left pocket. And if you cannot think and put positive energy, then at least do not do anything, please. So try to contribute a nice thought, a nice feeling. Feel the Gurudev, the presence. And there is one likeness, a bhajan: "Gurudev, śaraṇa, kapita, so it’s hum." Therefore, just now, we have five minutes. Just feel our presence, okay? So radiate your happiness, your divine energy. Show us how divine you are, okay? First of all, those who have a birthday today or tomorrow, please come. The nuts, pocket, prasāda—not chocolate, nuts. So please come quickly. Today and tomorrow, who has a birthday? Leave it here, leave it here. Who knows what will happen. Okay. So, I wish you all the best and a good journey. And see you again if you come to Strilki or to Śivarātri. Otherwise, as Mahāprabhujī’s divine will, we will see in June. I will have a long journey again. Thank you. Bless you and take care. Deep Nair Bhagavān. Dear brothers and sisters, I would like to announce that from this beautiful weekend, the Swāmījī 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 Stokey, you will be able to get it. Thank you. 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, and please kindly proceed forward, because we would like to thank you. Please come forward. There are two questions to be answered. One question was from Sasha Saraswati from Zagreb, Croatia. Sasha and Saraswati about their son, two years old, with the eating and... 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? That means me. Oh, upgrading. Satsang in Yoga in Daily Life. Before you, your video satsang in Bhagavad Gītā, what is that? Buddha Pēśṭ. You write here, "Boa Lada Peta." Buddha Pēśṭ, or in Hungarian they write like "Buddha Pēśṭ," or "Maṇḍir Satsaṅg." And we always watch films about Lord Rāma, Lord Kṛṣṇa, Lord Śiva, etc. Is it okay? Yes? Video means not only mine, okay? I did not say, "Watch my videos." Did I say? So, some good videos, cultural videos, Rāmāyaṇa, Bhagavad Gītā, it does not matter, Kṛṣṇa, about Mahāprabhujī, about our satsaṅg, okay? Lord Shiva, etc. 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 talked about our one sister. She signed the water from the holy Mount Kailash, Suman Sarovar, and she is supporting with this our children’s projects. So she saw... And she gave me 50 euros. So, please, who is taking care of this money? Gyān Putra? Thank you. We need [it] for her children, and for everybody. So thank you. The floor is yours. And of course, we are very, very grateful to Swāmījī, that our trust in Him is indescribable, and now He has given us a new instruction on how we can raise our lives spiritually as well. And I would like to express my thankfulness to Swamijī, that his trust in us is unshakable. He has inspired us again, and he has bestowed his satsaṅg on us again. Your Kṛṣṇānand is my flowers. Why are you talking? That’s how all disappears, all prasād. Disappear, okay? Something more, okay? We know that [you have] a lot of programs, and you have daily family duty, but next week we are in the Strilki 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 Brahmin would come, some priest from India. Unfortunately, he did not receive his passport. He applied five months ago, but still, India is a very big country, you know, so it takes time to proceed with things. Even five years is too early to get [it], so unfortunately, we will not have some other pundit, but you are all better than many pundits. We will come and sing bhajans and have a Vienna under the Vienna Shiva 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. Okay, but at least your support, that you come and have a nice festival. Okay, so you are all invited for the Śivarātri satsaṅg. And the next day, I think I will fly. The next festival is coming, Holī, the Holī 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 fest of San Francisco. Then, you know, there is one big jumbo airplane which has more than five, six hundred people. So, we can all book the two. Wish you all the best and many, many blessings. Much love to all your guru brothers and sisters, wherever you are. Coming also, your parents and friends, thank you. And thank you for the webcast, and also all our devotees, our friends around the world who are watching the webcast. All the best. Bless you. In the name of Mahāprabhujī, Gurujī, Devgurujī. Siddhi Prāṇāyām Bhagavān.
