Good evening, dear brothers and sisters around the world, dear bhaktas, practitioners of yoga and daily life, devotees of Bhagavān Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī. This divine message comes to you from the Holy Land, India, from Om Viśvadīp Gurukul Āśram, Jāḍaṇ, Rājasthān. After a long time, you see me again on this webcast, and I am very happy to be with you, at least through this medium. I especially welcome all our bhaktas who have come to India for a special anuṣṭhāna. This anuṣṭhāna is dedicated to world peace, harmony, love, and the protection of the environment. As planned, you will be blessed to take part in a yajña, a one-day yajña. Mantras from the various Vedas will be chanted by learned paṇḍits and ācāryas on the 12th. We will try to send this to you as a webcast, either live or recorded. Anuṣṭhāna is a very powerful sādhanā. It is done with a particular aim in life: to achieve a spiritual goal, to realize peace of mind, to purify the antaḥkaraṇa—manas, buddhi, citta, and ahaṃkāra—and to become free from the three tapas, the three fires: ādhibhautik, ādhidaivik, and ādhyātmik. Thus, every individual performing the anuṣṭhāna sādhanā proceeds comfortably toward spirituality on a path that becomes pure. Abhyāsa, Abhyāsa, Abhyāsa. O son of Kuntī, Arjuna, you need practice, practice, practice. Similarly, we should all continue our practice. If you interrupt it, that time is lost. Do not break the chain of continuity in your practice. Japata, paśu, pakṣī, pyārī, śubha, ruṣyam. Even animals and birds, in their feeling and language, remember God in their own way. Because God must not be the kind of God you think of. Suppose you meditate and want to see God. Yes, God will come to you. But how will you know it is God? If God Rāma comes with a bow and arrow, Viṣṇu comes with Sudarśana Cakra, Śaṅkha, Gadā, or Hanumānjī, or another form, will you believe this is God? Others will say, "No, that is not God." So how do you know God? The form of God is created by the human mind, fashioned by human feelings, decorated by human love. That became God for us, but the same God is different for other creatures. Ultimately, the God you are searching for is nirākār, nirañjan, nityam, chidānanda. Niranjan—no rañjan, no dirt, no spots. Pure consciousness, not physical. Our consciousness is polluted by many things. The door to consciousness is the intellect; the door to the intellect is the mind; the door to the mind is action, the indriyas; and the door to the indriyas is this material world. Therefore, it is said: Brahma Satya, Jagat Mithyā, Eko Brahma Dvitīyona Asti. Brahma Satya—the only real truth is that Brahman. Not what I said, what you said, what he did, what she did, what we did, what they did. That is just a wave of the confusion of the human intellect in this world. Wise are they, sādhakas are they, who can rise above this like a lotus flower. A lotus grows in muddy water, but the lotus is not muddy. It does not get any dirt from that muddy water, yet it cannot exist without it. Similarly, we all practice spirituality; we are like a lotus, but we have to live in this muddy saṃsāra, this worldly life. Therefore, the anuṣṭhāna is done: to try to rise above, as the lotus does. The lotus bud emerges from the water and unfolds on the surface. Everyone looks, and people run with cameras to take its photo. Likewise, when our consciousness is purified through our practices, our guru mantras, our guru bhakti, then, when it becomes so pure, many cameras will run behind you to take your photo because you have become the lotus. Anuṣṭhāna can be done anywhere, but it is more successful in certain places. One goes to a holy place called a Pīṭha, a Śakti Pīṭha. There are many Śakti Pīṭhas in India. Or a Siddha Pīṭha, where the Siddhas, the yogīs, the Gurudev lived. That is called a Tīrtha-sthāna. Śakti means that energy, that power, those divine waves which filter all negative energy, negative waves, and thoughts from our consciousness. Therefore, on certain occasions like Śivarātri, Navarātrī, Janmāṣṭamī, and others, bhaktas go to the guru-dhwara, the place of the Gurudev, and perform anuṣṭhāna there. That anuṣṭhāna becomes very successful and pure. We have anuṣṭhānas every year in our ashrams. It does not matter which part of the world the ashram is in. When you truly do the sādhanā, you gain something. Many people come in the name of anuṣṭhāna or practice, but they do not practice. It does not matter who it is—you or me—if we do not practice, we will achieve nothing. Therefore, anuṣṭhāna is done with a very pure, deep resolution in your heart, with a clear mind and intellect. You place your saṅkalpa in your consciousness, then sit and practice. Have firm faith. Without faith, you are merely moving your lips and tongue, reciting mantras quickly. When you do them quickly, you lose your feelings and your aim. You lose the saṅkalpa for which you were doing the anuṣṭhāna. I admire and welcome you. I am very happy that you traveled so far to come to India, to our Jadan Ashram. This is our Siddha Pīṭha, Om Śrī Alak Purījī Siddha Pīṭha. Everywhere we have our ashrams, there is that light from the Sapta Yuga time, from Swayam Bhosh Śiva, then all the Saptaṛṣis and many saints, where our Alak Purījī was present. Here, when you do your sādhanās, your seva, or your karma yoga, it will be counted. But there should be no negative thinking. When you do your sādhanā, you should not have any negative waves in your mind. Be pure. Once Gurujī said: If someone does not like the sun and takes a handful of dust to throw at it, the dust will fall back on you. Look how far the dust goes, look at the sun and say, "Here you are." The dust will all fall into your own eyes. So whatever negative action or thinking you engage in will sooner or later fall upon you. It will blind you. Pure sādhanā, pure thinking, pure dedication is like pure sunshine. Nothing can reach the sun. What will melt will melt, what will dissolve will dissolve, what will burn will burn, what will dry will dry. Nothing will reach it, except one who has Ātmā Jñāna, the Ātmā that has the door to Brahman through our planet, through the sun. But Gurujī used to say: Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice. Sacrifice your karma, sacrifice your negative qualities, sacrifice your negative thoughts, and sit and look into your heart. Then perform your anuṣṭhāna. I am sure you will get that glimpse of light for which you came. Do not think you are tired. Do not think your knees are hurting. No problem, you can stretch them. Liberation will not come from postures alone. Liberation comes from knowledge and bhakti. Mokṣa mūlaṁ guru kṛpā. When we lose the guru's grace, we lose everything. Therefore, Holy Gurujī said in his bhajan: Bhāra bhāra bhāra dhan yehī māṅgu, bhāra bhāra vardān yehī janam janam Hari dāsa rakhi jo, janam janam dāsa rakhi jo Śrīdīpa dayāl śona lījo, Prabhudīpa dayā layāraj kar kṛpāmo yasata saṅga dī. Kṛpā karo yā śrī devī dayā karo, rājā jī. Līlā jī, Prabhu jī, yā śrī devī. Jaya jaya, Prabhu jī. Yā śrī devī, yā śrī devī, yā śrī devī. Yā śrī devī, yā śrī devī, yā śrī devī.... Again and again, I beg for your kindness. That is my plea. If I must be born again in any life, please bless me to become your servant, because seva is the easiest and the best way. You cannot do seva without bhakti, you cannot do seva without jñāna, you cannot do seva without rāja, and you cannot do seva without tyāga. Therefore, bhakti yoga, rāja yoga, jñāna yoga, and karma yoga are all in oneness with karma. Because you cannot do seva. When you lose love, you lose everything. Then you have no seva bhāva. Bhāva lost, everything is lost. Bhāva has two meanings: one is price or value, and the second is devotion. Suppose today gold costs 1 million euros per kilo. Tomorrow the price rises to 5 million euros per kilo. The gold did not increase by even a milligram, but you gain four million euros. Why? Because the price went up. Suppose the price falls to one hundred thousand euros only. The gold did not lose anything; it is still there, not a milligram less, still one kilo. But you lost nine hundred thousand euros. Why? Because the price, the value, fell down. Similarly, when you are on the spiritual path, doing anuṣṭhāna, suddenly you get doubts or lose the value. Everything is lost in you. You become a beggar again, back on the street. Therefore, sādhakas must try their best to protect their spirituality, their devotion. The best way to protect it is to go to satsaṅg. The best way to lose everything is to go to kuśaṅga. Therefore, during anuṣṭhāna, maintain pure bhāva, and Gurudeva, Mahāprabhujī, will give you everything. So I wish you a very beautiful anuṣṭhāna and sādhanā. Continue, my dear devotees, bhaktas, and practitioners, here and in other parts of the world. We wish you all the best. Tomorrow, I will be with you again through the webcast, if it functions. For today, I give you all my good wishes. We will sing one bhajan, so please be with us in the bhajan. Pratīpa, Allahare har jīva ke Pratīpa, Āyandar bahar hai paripūrṇa yantar ba, Jyoti hai parmaviśa, Bhajore man śrī prabhodī... Jaman se bhāge bharam janjāl hare, Har bhāge bharam janjāl. Janam maraṇ bhava bandhan chūṭe, Janam mokṣa hove tat kajore. Śrī Prabhu dī pādhāyā deva jore, Jai dī apar brahma pura Sotam kardeve najar nihāl. Bhajore man siri prabhu di, bhajore man siri prabhu di. Karan aaye param kripa, jeevayu param kripa. Lahare hara aaye vaga se, darshan paave bade vaga. Mo na mada na gopa. Eva jore padhaya, eva jore siri puje di par Brahma Pura Sotam Swami Kardeve najaraniya. Siri Prabhudi, bhajore manva, siri puja Bhagavan dīpa Narayan bhupan ke, Bhopal hare hara bhupan ke. Mādhavānand jī hamāre kaima Śir parāhe rakhāvah Śrī Prabhudī He bhajore man Śrī Prabhudī Par brahma pura sotam swāmī. Kar deve najar niyajor Shri Prabhudī. After all, when Holy Gurujī sat in bhajan, in meditation... Every living being has some vṛttis, thoughts. In life, there are many situations. The mind goes here and there. So Gurujī said to his mind: "Bhajore Manva Śrī Pūjā Dīpā Dāyāla." O my mind, meditate on Mahāprabhujī. Bhajore Manva Śrī Pūjā Dīpā Dayāl. Universally worshipped, merciful Mahāprabhū Dīpā Dayāl. Par Brahma Purushottam Swami. He is the Par Brahma Purushottam, the highest among humans. Karadeva Najar Nihal. If he will look just with his merciful eyes, you are liberated. You are gifted with so many qualities and beautiful blessings. He came from nirguṇa to saguṇa, Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī. All who come from the nirguṇa appear again, manifest in saguṇa form. Sarguṇa rūpa daryo hari jagme, Hari, Lord Viṣṇu. Jīvan ke pratipāl, for the protection of everyone, every life, every creature. Sagol roop daryohari jagme jeevan ke pratipal, andhar bahar hai paripuran. Gurujī realized you first must get realization of your master. Andhar bāyar hai paripūrṇa, inside as well as outside, he is paripūrṇa, complete, because Mahāprabhujī is that divine. Andhar bayar hai paripurna, jyoti hai param viśāl, and the light of Mahāprabhujī is very bright and great, viśāl. Viśāl means endless, or very big—like a great banyan tree, we say "bada vishal." That jyoti, like the sun, rises and illuminates our planet. Andar bhayar hai paripūrṇa jyoti hai param viśāl, bhajore manvasrī pūjā dīpa hari. Next, jokoi dhyāna dare nijman se, then Gurujī realized and said, "If anyone, like me," he said, if with your real mind, your real feeling, you meditate—if anyone meditates with his own mind—then all your doubts, all your complexes, jañjalā (your complexes) and bharamā (your doubts), can be cleared up. If you practice with oneness, with clarity in your heart for what human life is given—not to criticize, to create problems, to create Janjala, to create Dharma—then you will go as you came. You go into nothingness. You fall into nothingness. Therefore, it is our individual concern that we practice with that love. Next: "Janam maraṇ bhav bandhan chūṭe, mokṣa hove tata kāl." "Janam maraṇ bhav bandhan chūṭe." The bondage of birth and death in this chaurāsī lakh is cut off. Otherwise, it is not easy to cut. There is no way to cut it. Shri Pūjya Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇ Jīvan Taraṇ Karaṇ Ayy Param Kripāl. Mahāprabhujī took incarnation to liberate all souls. And Gurujī said, "He is always a protection above me. Merī Śrī Parherā Kval, always He is protecting." It means He protects all bhaktas who will practice, have divine love and faith in others, and will not go into nothingness as they came. This bhajan is a beautiful bhajan. Tomorrow I will translate another bhajan. For today, I wish you all the best. If it is good night for all, good night. If it is morning somewhere, good morning. Deep nam Bhagavān a key oh survey Bhavan to Sukhina survey Shantanu Ramaya survey Bhadra nipa. Om Shanti Shanti...
