Saints are blessing for the planet

Today marks the incarnation day of Satguru Śrī Svāmī Madhavānanda Purī Jī Mahārāj.

Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa declares that when dharma declines, incarnation comes to restore balance.

Incarnation occurs as Nimit Avatāra for a specific purpose or as Nitya Avatāra, the holy saint.

Saints are mobile holy places, blessing every step they take.

Within the divine lineage from Satya Yuga, the holy Gurujī incarnated as love, peace, wisdom, and devotion.

Born in 1923 and merging with Brahman in 2003, he guided millions to liberation.

His discipline of Sumeran—prayer and mantra—exceeded eighteen hours daily, recharging the body with cosmic resonance.

His immortal bhajans teach walking the path of truth, where truth is Brahman alone.

Spiritual practices aim to merge individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness.

Earth chakras in the foot soles and heels connect to this holy planet.

Humans suffer from greed and jealousy, unlike other creatures who enjoy life.

The words of holy saints, Guru Vākya, must be followed to uphold dharma over adharma.

Holy feet are celebrated since a sage kicked Viṣṇu and the Lord blessed their gentleness.

Foot worship appears in Christianity too, reflecting this ancient tradition.

Ultimate truth and light prevail, as all saints come as saviors.

Blessings are invoked for love, peace, and Brahma Jñāna through the holy Gurujī’s grace.

"Walk on the path of the truth. What is the truth? Brahma satyaṁ, jagan mithyā."

"The holy saints are the holy places, what you call mobile holy places."

Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai, Śrī Śrī Dev Purīṣa Mahādev Kī, Hindu Dharma Samrāṭ Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandjī Bhagavān Kī, Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī, Om Om. Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinaḥ, Sarve Santu Nirmāyāḥ, Sarve Bhadrāṇi Paśyantu, Mā Kaścid Duḥkha Bhāgbhavet, Om Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ Rabhavatu. Blessed Self, Spiritual Seekers, Good evening. The blessings are coming to you from Om Vishwadeep Gurukul Ashram, Jadan, Rajasthan, Holy Bhārat. Today is a very auspicious day because it is the incarnation day of our universally worshipped Anant Śrī Vyābhūṣit, Parivrājakācārya, Brahmaniṣṭha Śrotriya, Hindu Dharma Samrāṭ, Satguru, Śrī Svāmī Madhavānanda Purī Jī Mahārāj, known to all of us as our holy Gurujī. Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa says to his disciple Arjuna, whenever dharma is suffering and adharma is dominating, O Arjuna, in every yuga, I manifest myself through my yoga māyā. There are two kinds of incarnations believed, worshipped, and acknowledged, and these two are Nimit Avatāra and Nitya Avatāra. Nimit means for a particular purpose, for a particular time; yuge yuge sambhavāmi, every yuga to yuga I come. And that is, till now, known as the twenty-four incarnations known to humans from the past many yugas, to destroy the devils, rākṣasas, asuras, satans, and protect the bhaktas, the sādhakas, the yogīs, and the entire creation. Second, Nityāvatāra. Because from one yuga to another yuga, the incarnation is too little. Humans, through their ignorance, through their greed, through their hate, their ego, they create troubles not only for humans, but for the entire planet. Rākṣasas are happy to destroy, but the Devas and saints are happy to restore and help. This is different. Nityāvatāra, time to time, is known as the holy saint. They are the holy saints, not only on the soil of the holy Bhārat, but in mankind’s stories and histories, there have been saints around the globe. Their immense spiritual power, their mental power, their wisdom, the voice and power in their words—all this has been helping the people in the world and other creatures. Therefore, in the holy book Rāmāyaṇa, great Tulsīdāsajī said, the holy saints are the holy places, what you call mobile holy places. Wherever the saint moves, wherever the saint steps, that place is blessed. That place becomes holy, and that place is worshipped. In that spiritual, divine, holy lineage of Śrī Alakhpurījī, Siddha Pīṭha, which begins from the Satya Yuga, in that lineage incarnated our beloved holy Gurūjī. He was an incarnation of love, incarnation of peace, incarnation of wisdom, incarnation of bhakti, devotion, incarnation of the guide to all seekers. And through his presence, thousands and millions of people were inspired and attained liberation. Many of you know, you experienced his divine presence. Our holy Gurujī was incarnated in 1923, and he left this world; he left this mortal body and became one with the Brahman. In 2003, he lived, he guided, he praised, he blessed. In these 80 years of his life, he blessed numerous humans, as I said before, and it was a blessing for this planet. The word "incarnation" is used for holy saints, "birth" is used for normal humans and animals, and "manifestation," the Swayambhū, is used only for Śiva, because Śiva is that one who manifests himself through nāda, the resonance, universal resonance, and that cosmic jyoti, the light, and in that light he manifests. So, these are the words which are used. Otherwise, birth and incarnation are the same. It is born. But in the case of the holy saints, we say either the incarnation or the day of the embodiment. These are the protocols: whom to say what? Our beloved holy Gurujī, light of our heart, light of our wisdom. He was a true example of a saint, a true example of a disciple. A true example of the master and a true example of the discipline. Sumeran, praying and meditating and repeating mantra more than 18 hours a day. Can you imagine 18 hours consciously in your intellect, in your mind, in your breath? Each and every ingoing and outcoming breath, Ārā Uradhā, repetition of God’s name—what does that mean for that body? Each and every cell of the body is recharged with the cosmic resonance, with the cosmic love, light, and there is a wisdom. Those whose Anāhada Cakra is cleared and opened, and the light of God is realized, their God speaks Himself. And so the numerous bhajans and mantras and kīrtans, which are wrought by our beloved Holy Gurujī, around the whole world, people benefit from them. That’s called immortal, everlasting blessings, the teachings. The articles, the writings you can manipulate, but poems, bhajans, are difficult to manipulate. That’s the truth. That’s right. And Gurujī said in one of the bhajans, "Swāmī Madhavānanda Kehe, Satya Pata Chalnā." Madhavānandajī, our beloved Holy Gurujī said, "Walk on the path of the truth." What is the truth? Brahma satyaṁ, jagan mithyā. The truth is only one, that is Brahman. And so, walk on that path. That is one of the definitions of brahmacharya. Here, it means constantly your thoughts and your feelings are directed to the path of the truth, which means to Brahman. The simple way of living of our beloved Gurujī, kindness to all, and open door for all is well known by all great disciples. So today is the day of the embodiment, incarnation, or birthday of our Satguru Dev. And in his memory, and his very beloved bhajan, which Holy Gurujī often used to sing—and anyone came, he told them to sing bhajan, and he asked all of you to sing the bhajan—Guru Dev Darśan Dhan Ho, Chetanāyanand Ghan Ho. And so, there are many beautiful bhajans. This bhajan was written by our Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī. Gurudeva Darśana Dhana Ho. Fortunate are we if we can have the darśana of the Gurudeva. Chetan Ānand Gaṇā Ho. Ānanda. Ānanda is Brahman. Brahman is Ānanda, Ānanda is Brahman. When one becomes one with Brahman, it is only ānanda-svarūpaḥ. But there should be cetana, very conscious. Where there is light and consciousness, the devotion is cetana. Ānanda ghana ho, endless. Endless like the sky. And this is the aim of all human beings, as well as all creatures. And that is also the purpose of practicing the spiritual path: yoga, āsanas, prāṇāyāma, nāḍī yoga, kriyā yoga, haṭha yoga, karma yoga, bhakti yoga, jñāna yoga, and rāja yoga, and so on. Or any spiritual divine techniques from the world, which you can have through the blessing of the great saints, then this human life will be successful. Yesterday, we also spoke about the hidden powers in humans, kuṇḍalinī and cakra. In the body, there are different kinds of chakras. That’s called the earth chakra, connected to the earth. These earth chakras are located in our foot soles, heels, around the whole foot, till the ankle joint, earth. Our planet is a holy planet. Our planet is a living planet. Our planet is a planet of the divine consciousness. Our planet is the planet of spirituality. It is a planet which is the home for all creatures. And this is the planet where the center for all souls who manifest are born or incarnate from the astral world again comes to this planet. So the planet is holy, and that’s why we call it the holy feet of the Gurudev. Only those who know, who have realized, who have awakened those cakras in the body, spiritually, Ājñā Chakra and heart chakra. If there is no balance, if there is no coordination between the heart and the Ājñā Chakra, the person is completely confused, depressed, nervous, and can even be driven to suicide because the balance is lost. This means the motivation to live life is lost, and therefore the senses are there to give again the motivation and guidance. This is the case of the humans. Animals and vegetation, and creatures in the water, in the space, and on the ground—jalatar, thalatar, and nabhatar—they enjoy life. They enjoy life. Only the humans cannot enjoy. And if one enjoys life, the hundred become enemies to destroy that happiness. Where one country is wealthy and peaceful, the other countries begin to create problems, wars, border problems, and so on. This is in human nature. But human nature, if purified, awakens those chakras and then becomes the divine nature. And when the divine nature is realized through and through, then the cosmic nature becomes. And when you are connected to the cosmos, entirely, endlessly, automatically your consciousness is merged into the cosmic consciousness. That’s the path, that’s the way. So all creatures, all living entities, vegetation, they enjoy being on this planet. Only one not, and that is a human. There are very rare humans who enjoy. Others are trying to enjoy, but the joy of that enjoyment is less than the sorrows of that enjoyment. After this life, many saints are explaining. Once I read some prophet or some saints in the so-called orthodox church from Ukraine or Russia, that non-believers and negative persons will be standing in front of the hill without skin on the body. The disease—you know the story of the vampires, you know the stories of the Draculas—it was not like a ghost, but they couldn’t come into the sunlight. As soon as the sun ray was there, the skin was burned, they were dying, and that’s why there was a protection lot about the sunlight. You know, until about 15 years ago in England, in a place called Scotland, there was a law: if you walk in the sun, you have to pay a tax. If you are getting sunlight through your window in your house, you have to pay a tax. If you sit in your own garden, having a sun bath or sitting in the sun, you have to pay the tax. So you have to blacken your windows so that you don’t get the daylight in. And still, in some old, old buildings, you will see what we call the plywood cut off and put in the windows, so that you don’t have to pay the taxes. This was told to me on my last visit to Scotland, in Edinburgh. I couldn’t believe that it could be like that. God has given free sunlight, joy, happiness, peace, contentment, oxygen; everything God gave free, gratis, to all the creatures. But we humans are greedy. Now, what is it called when you put a signboard or advertising board on your own building? They call it an air tax. When your boat or signboard is vertical outside of your building, half a meter or any length, then you have to pay more tax. If it’s only horizontal, flat on your wall, then you have to pay the lease. So it means humans are struggling with how to get money from others. And others are struggling with how to get money from others. The snake is eating a mouse. The mouse is eating the frog, and the frog is eating the fly. And flies try to catch the mosquito. You see how the chain is there. This is what they call the humans, and that’s why the humans are suffering. And so in that book it was written that whoever is unloyal to the church, unloyal to the holy persons, unloyal to the holy saints’ words, they will spend life without skin, burning. Constantly fire. That suffering is called fire, the fire. Is that only an imagination? Is this only a story to threaten us? Why, for centuries and centuries, ages and ages, have the saints been talking about this? One lie, two lies, three lies, four lies, five lies, all. And therefore, it is said, Guru Vākya. Guru Vākya means the words of the holy saints. Because in Sanskrit, the word "guru" means the holy master, the teacher. And that’s why we have to follow, and therefore, dharma. Dharma is on the side of those who work day and night for peace, love, and happiness. Arjuna and God’s name and light. God is on their side where dharma is. And adharma is the asuras, rākṣasas, who are bringing the threatening fear, misguidance, blackmail, and all this. This is the asura’s side. And there is also, on their side, the destruction of the asuras. So today is the embodiment of our beloved Satguru Dev, Indra Dharma Sampradāya Svāmī Madhavānandajī. Also, my dear brothers and sisters around the world, I pay my prayers and respect to those humans, those innocent ones, who lost their lives in the Twin Towers in New York in 2001. My humble prayer to the Lord for divine light and peace for those souls, and my condolences to their family members who lost their dear ones. This is an example of what a greedy and jealous egoistic person can do to destroy others. For those who were destroying, it was a joy, and for the entire world, it was a sorrow, it was a pity. There are people who are happy to destroy because they are the rākṣasas, they are devils, they are asuras, they are the Satans. They take the protection of, they try to exist in the shadow of, the holy gods, something, religion, or like this. But in Indian emblems and many other countries, it is said, Satyameva jayate. Ultimately, the truth will be. Ultimately, we will see. The light will come. Ultimately, that God will come, like it is said that Jesus came as a saviour, and so all the saints come as saviours. Jesus didn’t have an easy life. All holy saints, because asuras and rākṣasas, they work like a destructive force, but holy saints are like elephants. Dog sparkling, but elephant walks as a mighty, mighty through. Dignity is through the streets. Wherever an elephant lives, without fear. And dogs, crazy dogs, they can’t sleep day or night; their stomach has a pain problem. So we pray to God to send us more such holy saints on this planet to bless us, to protect us, and to guide us and our spirituality. So those chakras which are in the foot soles, in the heel, and around the foot till the ankle joint, they are connected to the earth. These are the earth chakras, but they are holy, they are holy. And there is a long story, which I will tell you sometimes. That once, when the Ṛṣi was angry, he went to Viṣṇu, and Viṣṇu was residing on his thousand-headed snake in the ocean of nectar. And he said, "You are resting here, enjoying your sleep, and look what is happening down." So the ṛṣi, with his one foot, hit the chest of Viṣṇu. He kicked him, God Viṣṇu. He said, "I am sorry for you. Your gentle foot, your very gentle foot, like lotus petals. My body is hard like iron. I am sorry. May it hurt you? My body is too hard. O Holy Saint, this gentle foot, I bless that from today on, the feet will be celebrated." And since that time, they are called holy feet. You know, also in Christianity, the feet were worshipped. There is one very ancient old church in Croatia, in Split. And when you go in the old church there, there is one like a bathtub where they used to give initiation. Where the priest is standing, giving blessings, and the new priest has to prostrate on the floor, Sāṣṭāṅga Daṇḍavat. When I went to see that, I said, "Yes, this is in Sanātana Dharma too." But we have now changed, but you know, reality you cannot change. You may hide, you may change, but the blessing is there. Therefore, as an entire world, it is the same thing. From the ankle joint to the heel, there is a vegetative system. The vegetation, the chakras, which are belonging to the vegetation. On this subject, my dear brothers and sisters, I will come next time to my webcast satsaṅg. I wish you all the best. And tomorrow, about Holy Gurujī’s life, Holy Gurujī’s bhajans, and being with Holy Gurujī’s experiences, I am looking forward to hearing her through the webcast tomorrow. So, tomorrow same time and same space, if Holy Gurujī and Mahāprabhujī will allow it. I bless you in the name of Alakhpurījī, Siddha Pīṭha. I pray to our divine holy Gurujī to bless you all and me also with love, good health, peace, harmony, and Brahma Jñāna. All the best. Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ. Dhyāna Mūlaṁ Guru Mūrtiḥ, Pūjā Mūlaṁ Guru Padam, Mantra Mūlaṁ Guru Vākyaṁ, Mokṣa Mūlaṁ Guru Kṛpā. Oṁ Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ... Alakh Purīṣa Mahādeva, Gajānanda Bhagavānakī, Devīśvara Mahādevakī, Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavānakī, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavānakī, Satyaśāṇatandāra Makī. Bless you all, wherever you are, in whichever country, whether good night or good morning. Until then, next time on the webcast, Om Śānti.
