Part 1: The Treasure of Saints He said, "Just give me the seven camels." He said, "Take these seven, but give me the prasādī that your Gurudev has given you." Gurudev blesses him, saying, "Son, you have made a very good bargain." At this moment, among us has arrived a great saint, Mahābhūti, Śiva Nārāyaṇa Giri Jī, who is the crown of our Jaitān region. And today, the crown has arrived in the form of Svāmī Mahā Maṇḍaleśvara and Mahātmā Jī, as well as our Viśvadeep Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Maheśrānanda Purī Jī, the disciple of those great souls and the beloved of those mothers, and the beloved of the entire world’s peace. Within our Hindustān, there are great luminaries; we have certain deeds, we have such good fortune. With the presence of such idols and great souls and their darśana, our ignorance is dispelled. And see, this is our good fortune. So in our Marwāṛī land, you have created horses. The āśram is like heaven, even greater than heaven. These are immortal beings. It is said that Mevāra’s treasure is to purify your body and mind. In the immortal city, that treasure is found. That treasure is peace. The path of peace is the path of union. This is the path of union, the way to immortality, that is, the attainment of the supreme state. The time for this has come. The land of Hindustān is great and sacred; it is the birthplace of such great divine incarnations and sacred pilgrimage sites. To be born in this very land, O mother, is indeed a blessing. It is the fortune of those who take birth here. These are the abodes of great souls and saints. And see, here there is complete maryādā. The one who upholds maryādā is truly a... So He is formless; those with form are like idols made in our own image, appearing before us as if alive. That is indeed our good fortune, to have the vision of Him. Therefore, one should dedicate their life to listening to the words of the Satguru and living by them. Dedicate your life to this—this is what I say. Serve the Satguru, Gurudev. So then, how does bliss arise? Brahmānanda, the supreme bliss-giver, the embodiment of pure knowledge, Brahmānanda, the supreme bliss-giver, the embodiment of pure knowledge, beyond all emotions, beyond the three guṇas, the essence of true nectar—I bow to that. From this, your own bliss arises. Bliss is love; it is a great and exalted thing. From bliss, one attains Paramānandari. When the guru bestows such great grace, then the great souls and divine beings are truly fortunate. To behold and witness them is a blessing for one’s own life and well-being. With great love, chant the victory of Bhagavān, chant the victory of Sat Gurudev. The light of the world, the great lord of the mind, today brings the joy of bliss to the devotees and destroys their sins. Yes, let there be the establishment of dharma, the support of the sādhū puruṣas. The sādhū puruṣas indeed exist, but those who, despite being householders, do not keep their sādhuness towards Bhagavān and the saints—only those sādhus are truly counted. May the welfare of the world be achieved, may goodwill arise in all beings. Namah Pārvatī Pati, hār hār... Mahāde, speak, Belī Amṛtavānī, hār hār... Mahādeva Śrī 108 Gurudev, Mahant Gyānagarī Jī, Sojal City, here before you two. Victory to the powerful Satguru Bhagavān! Such a chant should resonate. Say, Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Mahārāj has said that Māta Madālsā was there, but Māta Madālsā is not only from the past; even today, Māta Madālsā is present on this earth, who is like the mother of Svāmījī Mahārāj. Their sons are such that they are given the incarnation of a saint. A saint is a constant incarnation, and saints always take incarnation. Bhagavān’s incarnation is occasional, but saints incarnate continuously. The glory of a saint cannot be fully described; their glory is boundless. Our saints are the priceless heritage of the world. Where is it that we should go to meet the saints and renounce pride? With every step you take forward, it is like a Nakoṭī yajña. Even if you were to call it one yajña together, it would not be complete, but the number of steps you have taken, even if just a few, amounts to that much yajña. Because by having the darśana of saints and ātmās, all your sins from many lifetimes are eradicated. It is said, "Go to the gathering of saints, abandon pride and ego." Step forward with humility, as if performing countless yajñas. Perform countless yajñas or have the darśana of saints. Then it is said, what happens from the darśana of saints? It is said that meeting saints dispels the dense web of worldly entanglements and removes all impurities and sins. If one bows with head and feet before the saints... If one does, then the sins of many lifetimes are destroyed—this is what Mā has conveyed in her words. And Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa has also said this. Māta Kuntā has said this. Even today, on this earth, Māta Madālsā and such great souls have incarnated. They have taken birth from their own womb, and it is said that a mother is a son... What kind of life is that life if it is not illuminated by the sun of the Giver? If that light is lost, where will the radiance return from? O virtuous one, the sun in the water—only a virtuous woman will give birth to such a sun. O virtuous one, in the great garden of Nārāyaṇa, I cannot say much more, but by the command of little Gurumārāj, I say: hail to the Sadguru Bhagavān, very much, very much... Many Śrī gurave namaḥ. Victory to Olo Dep Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān. Victory to Olo Mādvānanda Bhagavān. This morning, this very morning, the supreme Siddha Śrī Svāmījī, who has come from distant places, along with the great Maṇḍaleśvara, the saints, devotees, mothers, and sisters, we have all gathered here on the occasion of the śoṛṣī of the departed soul, Mother. The position of Mā is very exalted. In the ārtī of Durgā Mā, we sing daily that she is supremely pure. In this world, the bond between Mā and her son is sacred. Many sons are unworthy, many mothers do not listen, but the bond between Mā and her son in this world is very pure. However, the son who... There are those who become bad sons, but a mother is never a bad mother. It is said in the great Purāṇa, the Śrīmad Bhāgavat, that the beginning is with a bad son, which is obscuring, but immediately after that comes a good son, which is Gokarṇa. Among those Gokarṇas, in the present age, is our Swāmījī Maheśvarānanda Jī, who has dedicated his... Gokarṇa was on his thirtieth journey, but when he returned, he not only fulfilled the duties towards his mother and father but also redeemed his wicked demon brother Dhundakāri. The good and the bad have always been paired together, just like the virtuous son and the wicked son. And just as a good son is so, in karma there is duṣkarma and sukarman. Why are two categories of karma given in the science of politics? One is sukarman and the other is duṣkarma. The time for performing sukarman is... It is always good to do good deeds and to postpone bad deeds; postponing them is better. But in our scriptures, there was a person born who was very learned, well-versed in the four Vedas and six śāstras, yet he still set aside good deeds. He had resolved to bring Śīrīśiṇḍ to the earth. And then I thought I would take a straight path all the way to svarga, but his intellect was flawed. He was very learned—who was he? He was the dāskandar Rāvaṇa. He left behind sukarma and took the path of duskarma, and that duskarma was the abduction of a woman, to his maternal uncle Mārīca. He said, "Please assist me; I have abducted Sītā so that I may receive a good lesson and should consider her my guru." Daskandar’s maternal uncle Mārićh said, "O son, do not perform such an act." And he replied, "If I must act, then let it be a virtuous deed. It is not right to steal; if one must take, then take away sin. It is not right to take away a woman." But he became angry and said, "Gurujun, you have made me foolish; enlighten me and tell me who is equal to me in the world." Immediately, he abducted Sītā, and as a result, he quickly departed from this earth. After taking human birth in this world, a human being performs six actions. The first duty is to dig a well, the second is to create a pond on the royal path, to donate to worthy Brahmins, and to establish dharma halls, build temples, and feed the hungry. Feeding the thirsty is one of the six karmas in human life. Yet, despite knowing this, humans often falter because of their actions. In the end, I will tell you five things; listen carefully: if you can speak, speak sweetly; do not learn to speak bitterly. If you can guide, then show the way. Do not learn to stray from the path; if you can, earn virtues. Do not learn to commit sins; if you can, light a lamp. Do not learn to burn hearts; if you can, plant a garden. Do not learn to speak bitterly; if you can, speak sweetly. In the end, I pray to Mahāprabhujī to grant peace to the departed soul of the Brahmalīn mother. Jai Hind, Jai Bhārat. Present here before you is our Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Prampujje Devendranan Jī, who has come from Jalandhar, Punjab. Although it is a 24-hour journey from Jalandhar, Punjab, that is not considered due to the love for Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Swāmījī. Now, among us, there are three or four Mahāmaṇḍaleśvaras present. Now you will listen to the enlightened discourses of our Mahāprabhuji. Keśavaṃ Bhadrayaṇaṃ Sūtrabhāṣāya Kratavaṇdheya Bhagavantau Punah Punah Īśvaro Gurvatmeti Mūrti Veda Vibhāgni Vyoma Vadvyāpta Dehāya Dakṣaṇa Mūrtai Navaḥ Om Śānti Śānti... Om guru bamba guru veṣṇu guru devo maheśvarā guru sākṣāt parambraṃ tasmei śirī gurave namaḥ. The root of knowledge is the guru’s form, the foundation is the guru’s feet, the mantra is the guru’s word, and the ultimate liberation is the guru’s grace. Peace, peace... Today is also the first Monday of Śrāvaṇa, so please take the name of that simple Bābā once or twice with us. Om Namah Śivāya, Hari Om Namah Śivāya... Om Namah Śivāya Om Namah Śivāya. Respected Prāta Samarṇiya Mahāmaleśva Svāmī Śrī Meśvarānana Purujī Mahārāj, revered like a guru, and the respected Mahāmaleśva Svāmī Śrī Kṛṣṇānana Mahārāj, along with the honored members of the circle and other saints, greetings. Brothers, mothers, sisters of India, and those who have come from abroad, from foreign lands—now we cannot call them foreigners—de āl dā phalvas al se, we will proceed further from where we left off yesterday, mātrī riṇa, beyond that, guru kā riṇa, śāstra riṇa, now you have fulfilled the śāstra completely, Vedavyās Jī. He has given you such a treasure through which, in this very life, you can realize yourself and make your life prosperous. If it is not a scripture, then it will be like a book being read; who among the animals will benefit from it? No, you yourselves can awaken it by reading and listening; only then can you reap its benefits, O seekers of the Supreme Lord. We will return to that point: until the contemplation of the eternal and the transient arises in this life, you cannot truly know your Īśvara, nor can you recognize your Gurudev, and you will not even recognize your mother, whom you once called ’mātā’ in society, now referred to as ’dead wadi’ or ’mammī’—where is Western civilization leading us? Yes, yes, this living being is all mother, but if there is no awareness in it, if you do not know yourself, then truly, why have we been granted entry into this world from that womb? Why eat... They ask why a child is born and wanders around the streets, doing whatever he wishes. The foundation of his life—if that foundation is wrong, if the foundation is faulty—then the building will collapse at any time. To strengthen that foundation... How can that son lose his path? Some call him Allah, some call him Vāy Gurū, some call him Jesus, but God is one and many. God is this one and the other—that is the difference. Here, within our inner selves, we straightforwardly say this is religion. They have misled you and never told you that you are all offspring of the same Īśvara. They have created divisions everywhere. Does a mother ever discriminate among her own children? A mother is the power of Īśvara; without power, what use is Īśvara? This is the eternal and the non-eternal. We ask you, have you heard that this is eternal, that this eternal is our account, absolutely different? You are not to speak; this does not belong to anyone. Whoever is speaking in between is that imperishable, immortal, indestructible one. Your attention is not there; attention is always... So you have set out to do bhakti of Īśvara, Mā, and Gurū. How will you do it? By coming to the door of the Gurujanas, you must listen to this vidyā, which is called Vedānta, jñāna. Until you listen to this jñāna, you will not understand your own self, nor will you understand these foreigners, or us—nothing beyond this. You will receive it, by the grace of these very Gurus; your discriminative intellect will be dissolved. The day this discriminative intellect of yours is dissolved, on that very day your birth from the womb of the mother will be truly meaningful. On that day, you will also receive their command as a blessing, and their instruction to you about who you truly are—O Rāmlāl Śāmlāl, you are not this. Everything is imagined; before you were in the womb of the mother, what was your name? This is only the name of the body. Who am I truly? When this understanding arises in your intellect, then what difference will remain between mother and son, or guru? The day you reach this stage, consider that our... The life has reached the stage it was meant to reach. Part 2: The Call to Awaken and the Nature of the Self The efforts of saints and great souls, whether through meditation, the path of devotion (bhakti mārga), or the path of knowledge (jñāna mārga), all aim to bring you back to one point: that you are not this, you are that. The day you realize, "I am not this, I am the ātman," there will be no cycle of coming and going, and you will have peace and tranquility in life. Otherwise, caught in this very cycle, your life will just pass by wandering aimlessly. Therefore, even now, awaken, awaken. A true guru says, as the watchman at night warns, "Stay awake." They say, "Stay awake," but if one still remains asleep in it, then it is your fault—meaning the one for whom this tribute ceremony is held today. Having done that, you also saw everything clearly, then peacefully entered that samādhi in which you are currently practicing samādhis in your waking state. Your own samādhi was completely absorbed. This body, belonging to the five elements, was of clay and has returned to the clay, but whether their ātman merged or not is another matter. Yet, everything appeared clearly before you. Even if it happens, if you continue ignoring these matters, do not let the efforts of the gurus go in vain. With so much effort, not even a single sprout would have arisen here. For whom else, then, do you sit peacefully, listening to these words, contemplating them, and realizing within yourself that I am that ātmā—imperishable, eternal, and indestructible? Who will know without you? First, know yourself. When you know yourself, then there will be nothing else to know. The one you know, for whom you make all efforts, earn, and consume—some become doctors, some become engineers—but before all that, Rāma... At the age of sixteen, the self was ready to receive this vidyā from Vasiṣṭha, who is associated with the text known today as the Yoga Vasiṣṭha. It is rare for anyone to contemplate it; if Lord Rāma himself needed this vidyā, then if you receive this vidyā from the gurus, you too will... The life that lies ahead of you, no matter what promises or calamities may come your way, you will naturally overcome them. This is the only true tribute we offer to the mother—that you maintain the blessings bestowed upon you just as they are. And you all are very fortunate to have found refuge in the shelter of such Gurujans. Otherwise, the guru and the elders do not even allow you to come close; taking on their burden in your own life is the sole purpose of this life, and there is no other kind of purpose. Whatever purpose one has, accordingly their progress will be. Along with this, we give our speech this very rest. Whatever work or action is to be done next, Mahārāj Śrī will inform you. Just now, you have received the sacred nectar from the revered, most worshipful, and honorable Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Śrī Devendra Nanjī Mahārāj of Jalandhar, Punjab. Vedānta, Advaita, Bāda, Yoga, Vedānta are the supreme philosophical scriptures of the world. What is Vedānta? It is through Vedānta that the ṛṣis and munis of India, after intense tapasyā, declared all things from here to the Brahmālokas as transient, stating that only one is the eternal Brahman, and that alone is true; there is no second. So you just asked, what was your name before coming into the mother’s womb, what was your name while in the womb, what was your dharma then, and now you have been given this name—whether it is Śyāmlāl, Rāmlāl, Kāmdār, or Nāmdār—will this name go with you, is it inscribed? That is the ātman. This is why Bhagavān Śaṅkarācārya said: "Ko'haṃ katamadidaṃ jātaṃ kove kartisya vidyate"—Who am I? Where have I come from? Why have I come? What am I doing? And where will I go? The answer is that I am only the ātman. There is no distinction of gender in the ātman. Within the infinite brahmāṇḍa, if we look at the earth through a magnifying glass... Even if you look, it is not visible to them; they have no fear of danger. Now you may call them our dear disciples, devotees, guru brothers, or even bodyguards. In every way, their name is shown at their bungalow. The Rāmāyaṇa is thus the feet of Bhagavān, the Maryādā Puruṣottama Bhagavān Rāma. Gevarchan Jī, who is about to speak, will share something more with you. Gevarchan Jī says in English, "It is your floor." Before that, for all the guests who have come from far away, tea, water, and snacks are prepared inside if you wish to have them, according to the auspicious timing of the program and from distant places. The devotees have not arrived yet, the saints and mahātmas have not reached. The pūjā will begin around eleven or twelve o’clock, followed by the mahāpraśād. Everyone should take the praśād and participate in the pūjā. Now, you should partake in amṛta pāna—the kind of amṛta that exists is vachanāmṛta, jñānāmṛta, charaṇāmṛta. There are five types of amṛta, beginning with the primal amṛta, from which the immortal essence is attained. Acchara Rām Jī Mārāj has said: "May one become immortal by consuming that which is sweet; may it be such that it dispels the sourness of the mind’s desires." Thus, it is only through jñāna amṛta that we can regain the immortal essence. First of all, I would like to make this humble request: as per Mahārāj Śrī’s command, this event will continue. So, all the saints and devotees who have come, please continue to partake in tea and refreshments and also benefit from them. Mahārāj Jī has addressed me in this manner. I will not accept that because I still do not know who I am, where I have come from, where I have to go, and what I have to do. I am like a flickering lamp in the dark, wandering around in search of the oil that will keep me burning; I keep moving, rolling about restlessly. I have come to receive a little oil that I obtained at the feet of Mahārāj Paramahaṃsa Vāsu Maheśvarānanda Jī; I have come to take it and to offer it. Sanno mitraḥ sanvaruṇaḥ sanno bhavatvaryamā sanno indro bṛhaśpatiḥ sanno viṣṇururukramaḥ. Namo brahmaṇe namaste vāyo. Tvameva pratyakṣaṃ brahmāsi. Tvameva pratyakṣaṃ... I shall speak of Brahman here, I shall speak the truth here; may that protect me, may that protect the speaker; may I be protected, may the speaker be protected. Oṃ, śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ. The Guru is Brahmā, the Guru is Viṣṇu, the Guru is Lord Maheśvara; the Guru is the direct Paramātmā. Salutations, salutations to that revered Guru. To Brahman, to the divine cow, to the Brahmin, and to the world. Salutations again and again to Dīptāya Kṛṣṇāya Govindāya, Govindāya namo namaḥ. At this sacred abode of Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇa Prabhujī, I respectfully bow at the feet of Paramahaṃsa Svāmī Maheśvarānanda Jī and extend my greetings from the stage to all these devotees, visitors, and my beloved devotees of this land, as well as the respectful ones who have come from Mātr̥ Śakti and all the countries of this world. Today’s event is organized on the auspicious death anniversary of our Gurujī Paramahaṃsa Svāmī Maheśvarānanda Jī’s Mātṛ Śakti Phūlī Devī Jī, on the occasion of the Ṣoḍaśa Saṃskāra. This is a very significant matter. We are very fortunate to be participating in such an event. Their lifespan is usually very short, but the Mother knows. That he has worshipped Śiva, but has not yet performed pūjā of Śakti. You see, in the stomach of that Ādiguru Śaṅkarācārya, the knot begins to form; he repeatedly goes into the forest. Even by afternoon, the wind and the river water continue to flow, yet he does not have the capacity to receive it. Then a woman comes there, carrying a bundle, and... The world teacher Jagadguru Śaṅkarācārya and the original Śaṅkarācārya take water from the river and, describing that very power, they make this request: "Give me water." The original Śaṅkarācārya says, "I have no power; since morning my condition has become very bad." And when he said, "I have no power," then that feminine power in the form of a woman speaks, saying, "To you..." It is known that you do not possess power, so your prakṛti does not become active. Its length is considerable, but I want to explain it with effort: Nirālambho lambo darśanakāmyā miśaraṇaṃ svapāko jalpāko bhavati madupāko pamagirā nirātaṅko raṅko virahati ciraṅko ṭikanake tavāparāṇe varāṇe viśati manuvare. Who understands this moment, O people? It is to be chanted by the mother, chanted by the masters of chanting. The pyre, ashes, ointment, poison, the lord of the directions, the matted-haired one, the serpent around the neck, the lord of serpents, Paśupati, Bhavānī, the water of the sacred fire, the ritual of acceptance—who understands these fruits, O people? It is to be chanted by the mother, chanted by the masters of chanting. O beloved, I am unique; I do not depend on anyone at all. I am completely immersed in the ashes of the pyres. I eat in the cremation ground. I live among spirits and wear these skull garlands, but I worship only Śiva. O Mother Kapālī, Bhūteśa, Jagadīśa, Ekapadī, Bhavānī, Tatpānī, this is the ritual of the lunar cycle and its result. O Mother Bhavānī, you have sanctified the water with Śiva, and that is why I have worshipped Śiva. Today I came to know that there is also a power called Mā. We all should be aware of the mere power of our Svāmī Maheśvarānanda Jī, that she is indeed the mother of Śiva who has departed from among us, but her soul remains with us. Right now, Mañca Sīn, by very venerable and respected saints, has offered a... I heard the question, "Who am I? What is Brahman?" Mahārājī also said, "Brahman is satya, the world is mithyā." Every day, these reflections occur with us constantly. We introduce ourselves according to our position and ask questions like, "Since when have you been?" He replies, "I have been here for 27 years and 6 months." Then we ask, "What were you before that?" Earlier, I was Phalān Singh, I was Śaitān Singh, I was Phalān Chantar, Adhiśyām, Śaṅkaralāl. Well, then what was I? I was the son of Thākur Sāhab. Oh brother, since then, when the brāhmaṇa performed the nāmakaraṇa saṃskāra, and until those nine or eleven days when the saṃskāra was not done, what was the nature of that body? We need to understand the knowledge of that nature. So, by coming to the feet of such saints, one can attain it. In fact, if we consider the body itself, the question arises again: Brother, when you were a body for nine days, you came out of the mother’s womb on that very day with the same form—five or six inches, a dead pound. He says, no, that cannot be so. I have heard from Svāmījī Mahārāj, from saints, and read in the scriptures that the Upaniṣad says, "My habit is a little flawed." I am just an ordinary man, you say that the knowledge of the day is lost. I am an ordinary man, we ask this question: water is one, O nightingale, hold on, man, water is one, O nightingale. If you want to share this news, then go to the feet of these saints, and it seems to me that if we are bubbles of water, and that bubble remains a bubble for nine months, for nine months... The child resides in the womb of the mother, where the mother nourishes it very well with amṛta, and then we come out. There are five karmendriyas, five jñānendriyas, five tanmātras, and five of our paraśakti—earth, ākāśa, vāyu, jala, and agni. And the answer is that there is no single dharma; what is its varṇa? The answer... There is no discrimination, no profession, no region, no language; if the person who examines that body, that soul, that living being is directly Bhagavān, then we see a small glimpse day and night of what Maheśvara, truth, and the world’s illusion are. But we are revolving so much in the cycle of māyā that we do not realize anything. Our father came from the field, you speak the truth, and asked for tea. Our father came from the field and asked for tea. There were only twenty to thirty minutes left, so we gave him a cup, then a second cup, and the cup fell down. Father lay down in the courtyard. Come, uncle, see—whatever we touch and observe, that is the form of the world. Whether it is the bed, the radio, the television, the wife, the children, wealth, property, industries, factory, car, AC, or cooler—then why don’t we keep them inside the house, carefully arranged in the cupboard? We know that among these things, what is transient... The wave was there, it has gone, it has gone... If you have not seen it, then how can you consider it true? How can you accept as truth what you have not seen? One who has not seen does not cry; only the one who has won cries. It is not said that the one who cries has not won. Those who have won cry; they hold on tightly and then turn things around. When they cry, sorrow comes, yet they do not stop crying. When the stubbornness is broken with a slap, then the truth and falsehood become clear. If you clap false applause, then tell me, what kind of son is that? But he has not cried yet; Brahman has not entered him. And as soon as Brahman enters, the moment the child cries, we say, come on brother, play the drum, the son has been born. This is the truth of Brahman, which can be attained by sitting with saints, who is the supreme disciple of Mahārāj Śrī and Pālī. And up to Śīkar, this area extends to Jodhpur. My younger brother told me that Mahārāj, he was the one who sent me the message. Then I spoke with Mahārāj Jī; the telephone number was registered in Vishwart. He had come to Jodhpur. Lalit Vyas told me that Mahārāj Jī’s mother, who is our Māī, had said quite a lot to Bāvu Kokar that I am their mother’s... He used to sit close by and would speak the final truths, the sākhīyas and so on—such truthful, truthful things. It may seem like a small matter, but it is in the form of a bhajan mālā, in which one bhajan is written: that we cannot praise Mā, nor can we compare Mā to anything, no matter how much wealth or riches are placed on the scales. Part 3: The Weight of the Mother's Lap Let it be given, and on one side, let Mātā be set aside. I will tell a legend. It is said that those who have not seen are inhabited, but why are those who have seen a direct power not inhabited? I have presented an example of this. On one side, let me place the gods along with the entire world; on the other side, let me place Mātā along with the entire world. In the balance of Brahma Rāju, the scale of Mātā is heavier. On one side, I place the gods, and along with them, the entire world; yet in the balance of Brahma Rāju, the scale of Mātā is heavier. The One whom we have never seen, whom we have never seen, we all chant their name day and night. The One whom we have never seen, we chant their name day and night. We have seen the lap of Mātā, we also dwell within it. We have found the lap of Mātā, we also dwell within it. Mātā’s lap, oh Mātā, the cradle—Rāma and Kṛṣṇa have praised the entire world. Rāma and Kṛṣṇa have praised the entire world. In the balance of Brahma Rāju, Mātā’s side is heavier. Hail to Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī, Mahārāj. Hail to the departed soul Bhūlā Devī, Mahārāj. Millions and millions of salutations and obeisances at the feet of Svāmī Maheśvarānand Purī Jī Mahārāj, and to Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar Jī from Punjab, to Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar Jī from Gujarās, to Kaṣṇanan Jī Mahārāj, all the sādhus of the sampradāya, and my guru brothers. Today is the prasāda distribution of our Jagat Mātā. Shortly after that, Svāmījī called me on the phone. It was said that when Mātā Jī was no longer among us in this world, it caused great sorrow because whenever I used to come to Jāṛan Āśram, I would sit at her feet and many conversations would take place. You know, I would also like to share something else—that last time, in Nāgor district and especially in my own ignorant tehsil, there was a drought. There was a very severe impact, and the supply of drinking water for the patients could not be arranged there. So, a request was made to Svāmījī, who granted approximately 2.5 million rupees for this purpose. For this, I had no vegetables nearby; we were in debt—such is the grace of Gurudev. I would like to make a request to the giver who is my Gurudev by destiny. Here, some people are from Rotu, and Sarpan Sāhab is also from there. In the foothills of Jahil, there is a village called Rotu, where approximately two and a half to three thousand deer live. It is a village of the Viśṇohis, and those deer... You visited that place, delivered discourses there, listened to the sentiments of the people, and contributed significantly financially, organized events, but the greatest contribution, let me tell you, was that the place needed protection. You met with the authorities; you must also be aware that Mātājī had absolutely no knowledge of English. There was no knowledge either, and they used to live comfortably with foreigners, but we have a foreign sister, Gayatrī Jī. Today, I bow to her from the heart with this intention, that this sister wanted to establish Mātā Jī’s Gayatrī so strongly. If it is Svāmījī’s command, then let the whole land resound with applause for sister Gayatrī. We express our heartfelt gratitude to Vehen Gayatrī, Vehen Gayatrī, who has been serving Mātā Jī for many years, with her entire heart and mind devoted at Mātā Jī’s feet. Gurudev has given her such teachings, so I bow down and offer my salutations to that very presence here from the depths of my heart. And a TV channel called TV 99, which is a very big channel in Rajasthan, its team has been here at Padāri for almost a few days. They will present two episodes on TV, each spanning about four days. One episode is about Gurumārāj and Gurupūrṇimā, and the other is about Mātā Jī. The entire program, we Lakṣmaṇ Śin... Sister Gayatrī Jī, on behalf of all the devotees, I am conveying Bābājī’s respectful orders and greetings to you. We would like Sister Gayatrī to say a few words about Mātā Jī from the Nasā Mukti Sansthān. Our Śrī Thānāpati Gopālanan Jī Girī from our old Khāṛā, who is currently a disciple of our Sabāpatī Jī, has come here from Vajra. In response to the love and devotion of Svāmījī, our Thānāpati Gopālanan Jī Girī from old Khāṛā has come, and now he will present two discourses before you. Now, you are listening to the discourse of Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar Jī, who has come from our Gujarās. Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī, who has come from Yalandhar, Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar, Paramapūjya, other saints, mahants, and all the devotees present, I bow at the feet of this small sādhu from this small place made of kacchā mud. At the time of my departure, I did not know where I was to go. Yesterday evening, I came to know that it was the day of Paramapūjanī Mātā Jī. Whatever Svāmījī did for this place, as it was said, there was an ācārya here, it was a forest. Suddenly, a scene from the Rāmāyaṇa came to my mind, when Bhagavān Śrī Rāma was exiled and he went to meet his mother, Kauśalyā. I had taken permission from everyone, but getting permission from mother was very difficult. There is one line that struck me deeply, and I find it very beautiful. I present it before you: "Bale bhāī band bhāgī, jo Raghu ban satilak tum tyāgī." This is the fortunate Rāma, the Bhagavān, who is going to that forest. What Svāmījī has created in the forest is not something an ordinary person can achieve. Since yesterday, I have been continuously reflecting on why I came here. After seeing all this, it is not because of any wealth, but rather the tremendous effort he has made for the peace for which all saints, mahants, and we are instructed. They are there; we have not seen our own sighs but have seen them in others. It is a clear matter. You need not consider me a guru for my words, but it is the truth. That is why I am still in a trance—I have just received the order to speak after having the darśana of Svāmījī. Having had the darśana of Svāmījī, I consider myself blessed, and I say this very clearly. I have paused here only to decide when to bring such a great saint to my land. I have come here to fix the dates; it may be in 2010, it may be in 2011, 2012. I might meet him then, who knows? There is no guarantee yet, but now I have started feeling little by little... It is guaranteed that after touching the feet of Svāmījī, do not leave immediately, stay a while; I cannot say much more than this. We are all speaking in Hindi only, and you see how peacefully they are still sitting. We speak Hindi words because these people are not yet educated enough to sit peacefully. So, for those of you who are foreigners, the Gurujans of the gurukula keep the children a little calm; otherwise, the children... Take them to school, take them to class, teach them. Take them from here, brothers, whoever has come from different places with their children, keep your children calm. Dīp Nayan, Bhagavān’s glory. In half an hour, the work here will be completed. After this, we will go to the samādhi site of Mātā Jī, where there will be pūjā. After that, we will return; first, there will be a bhaṇḍāra of the saints, and simultaneously, you all will be invited to the mahā praśādi in the other pavilion. Say, listen carefully. Yes, dear friends, whether from European countries or any other country, they... As Svāmījī instructed me to say something in English, I wonder now—are you foreigners? You do not seem to be. How did you acquire it? After some days, some months, or some years, once I have finished my work in Kutch, I will try to stay here with you, to understand the reason for your satisfaction—such great satisfaction that we in India do not have. We do not see that here. I simply observe that there are so many gurus—so many gurus throughout India, in Kutch and Gujarat, South India, North India, Assam. I have not seen, I have not seen, I have been in this desire for the last 55 years. Today I tell you the fact that in my 50, 55 years of life, I have never come across such a personality. And that is why I see in all of you a tremendous transformation, a tremendous transformation,... and the satisfaction that I feel is that I consider you all my men, all our men; you belong only to this place. I do not know which country you belong to—I wonder sometimes, you tell me. How you have created all these things in India, our people have said "ho gayā, ho gayā, Mahārāj," so many times, "ho gayā, ho gayā, Mahārāj," so many times... Mahārāj. Now you are diving, and you are diving. You observe who is crossing the bar. For you, who is crossing the bar. For you, who is crossing the bar.... There is some saying. One gentleman reached an āśrama and asked, Bhagavān, are your disciples merely sleeping? They were sādhus. And you say that they are just chanting the names of God throughout. Gurudev said, well, please wait. Nityānā Hariyo, which word did you use while sleeping? Which word did you use while sleeping? It means that the cycle was continuing even while you were asleep. And that alone is the essence. I think by the grace of Svāmījī, you people have attained that. You have attained that. I challenge you, I have also attained it. Within 24 hours. And that is the gain, that is what I have gained. I am very pleased and deeply satisfied to have come to this place, and I would like to come again and again... I come in between, not often in this place, but Svāmījī is here. I don’t know whenever He is here and whenever He is in foreign countries. That’s why I have come to take the dates for our program after 3-4 months, and I have the dates to get confirmed and then I shall see if I can invite you to see our Gujarat in Kutch throughout. There are so many sacred places—Dwārakādeśa, Somnāth, Nārāyaṇa Sarovar—it is a very beautiful and prosperous region, and Gujarātīs embody all these qualities. I would be very pleased, indeed honored, to see you all there with Svāmījī whenever he comes. Thank you very much. Svāmījī Premānandājī Mahārāj has been residing in India for about 30-35 years. He resides in the ashrams of Jaipur, Kailāśa, Khāttu, Nepal, Jādan, and others. According to our Ākhāṛā tradition, he is a Śrī Mahānt. And those who live here are from Austria. And he is a very ordinary saint. You all almost know Premānand Jī, so listen carefully to whatever Premānand Jī is telling you now, and remain seated in a calm posture. Jaya to the enlightened Bhagavān. Respected Svāmījī, all saints, mahatmas on the stage, dear friends, bhaktas, devotees, today something comes to an end, and as we say, every end is a new beginning. On this auspicious day, we celebrate our dear Mātājī, to whom many of us were very close, and we celebrate a success, a completeness. As Tulsīdās said, when I was born, as he said, people were laughing and happy, but I was unhappy and crying. And Tulsīdās also said, when I depart, people will weep and be sorrowful, but I will be filled with joy. It is that joyfulness, that completeness that he expressed with these words, because he knew he had fulfilled his duty, his dharma, his existence on this earth, his, as we say, evolution. He became the complete Purāṇa and that is exactly what we celebrate today as well for Mātājī. Mātājī did not have an easy life; it was full of tapasyā, hardship throughout her life. But as I observed Mātājī over the years, she was always the same. Content, happy with what she had, and fully aware of her destiny and her responsibility, and what she had to fulfill in her life. She was very proud of the responsibility that Bhagavān had entrusted to her. And it is not easy, nor is it very common, to be the mother of a saint. Mātājī’s life also reached its completion because her individual journey came to an end. And by the real grace, by the kṛpā of Svāmījī, she was able to become one with the universe, with the universal Brahman. So let this day be a joyful day, not a sorrowful one, and all the years to come, we must not forget, we must celebrate, and we must make it a fixed point in our life. In this spirit, I wish you a happy day and a joyful celebration. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jaya. All divine saints have given us a message, a message, a blessing, a blessing.... In this category, in the organization of today’s Saurasī, we will first worship the samādhi. The worship of the samādhi will take place, and we will all reach the place of the samādhi. The worship of the samādhi will take place in the Karkamalas of Mahārāj Śrī. All divine saints will come there, all devotees and bhaktas will come there. There will be arrangements there, worship will be performed by the hands of Mahārāṣṭrī, the seats of all the saintly great souls of the samādhi will be placed, the saintly great souls will sit on one side, be present, and all the devotees will place their seats on one side of the samādhi. So whenever the command is received, you all will proceed from here to the samādhi site. Harī Om. Whoever saintly great souls have been born here, it is absolutely essential for all of them to reach the state of samādhi. Therefore, all saintly great souls have reached the samādhi state; Mahārāṣṭrī has been born. All of you saintly great souls present here will also reach there by following samādhi, through disciplined actions. We will go there, and through devoted karma, we will be established there. We have reached there, so the all-pervading One is requested that everyone reach there with water, and all the busy ones should rest peacefully. Those who are devotees are also requested to follow the path of the sādhus.
