Blessings to all of you, spiritual seekers around the world. Blessings are coming to you from the divine place, Śrī Mahāprabhū Dīp Satsaṅg Foundation, Strylky, Czech Republic. Welcome to the Mantra Anuṣṭhāna program. We have here very expert, trained yoga and daily life teachers. The program is divided into many parts: first for our dear juniors, then for the seniors above 70 years, and then the middle ones, including myself. Mantra is a research work of the great saints, the ṛṣis of Bhārat. For ages and ages, they experienced the effect of the mantra. It means that word which is circulating in your brain, like the taraṅga, the wave of a thought, which is traveling throughout the whole physical, mental, and astral body. Like electricity. When from the powerhouse the button is switched on, within no time it’s circulating in every house, in every instrument—the light, your microwaves, your kitchen, air conditioner, radio, television, computers, etc. Similarly, when one sound is reaching your individual phenomenon, then, by the computer of the brain, it is checking the quality of that vṛtti. And it’s transforming to the heart, transforming to the intellect, and checking all the indriyas, karmendriyas and jñānendriyas, all within no time. Also, it’s checking your storeroom of your subconscious and conscious. What kind of quality is there? What is stored within you? Anger, hate, jealousy, greed, and so on? Or love, understanding, compassion, peace, harmony, and beauty? At that time, that sound, that nāda, the vṛtti, the taraṅga, the vicāra—these are the different names—is colored by that quality, and then you speak the word. Though everything is checked by the computer of the brain, again there is a security gate, and everything has to pass through that security gate, and that’s called viveka. Viveka will filter all the qualities. It must not be that negative turns to positive and positive turns to negative, no. Viveka will give you a clear x-ray. Then again, it goes to the intellect. Now, the intellect should bring it to a fine quality, then viveka, and that’s called jñāna, knowledge. Jñāna and ajñāna are two. Jñāna is knowledge, and ajñāna is ignorance. Ajñāna is darkness, and jñāna is the light. So it is transferred to the heart. Now, will the heart accept this or not? How heavy is this word that you will speak for the heart? Because your one sentence can hurt millions of hearts. And one sentence can make millions of hearts happy, healthy, and joyful. With one word, war begins—oh God, how many millions of people are unhappy? And the second word comes, "No, it’s finished." How many hearts will be happy? When someone tells you, "Oh dear one, how great you are," your ego, your happiness, is like a fountain. And if someone tells you, "You ugly, bloody one," your unhappiness is twisting till your Mūlādhāra is going down, squeezing the Mūlādhāra out to use the negative energy, negative words. Therefore, Mahāprabhujī said, "Each word you speak, especially on certain occasions, you should measure your words in your heart. You must measure, weigh your words in your heart. How heavy are they?" The wise one will digest, and the foolish one will vomit. Clear? Yes. Good. True. Then Mahāprabhujī said, "Your each word should come like flowers coming from your mouth." A great poet said, vůči komukoliv, jako já. To znamená... So, constantly we have to check our consciousness, unconscious, subconscious, conscious. We have to check our mind, our intellect, our emotions. Out of emotion, sometimes you speak, then you will be sorry forever, and you can break your best friendship. A great poet, Rahim Das, was a great poet in India. He wrote many beautiful poems. So Rahim Das said, "O Rahim, the thread of love, don’t break it just like this." It means don’t break it through anger, hate, or something. When you break once, you can’t join again. If a crack appears, even if you try to join it, it will be a knot. So between you and the other, there will be a knot. Your pulse cannot go through. Holy Gurujī said a poetry, the bhajan, the song should be so perfectly written or composed that it goes like a pearl through the silk thread without any hindrance, and if there is a knot between, then you have to do like this. Therefore, mantra, our words, is a mantra. And then it is said, "The best mantra: mantra mūlaṁ guruvākyaṁ," the words of the guru. And these words of the Gurudeva are all the holy books, all the holy saints. Now, look, why did I mention Rahim Dās? I never saw him. He was not a relative to me, or he never gave me any cake. But it is his words, his vākya. Or Tulsīdāsjī, Mahāprabhujī’s, and all these words: Gītā, Upaniṣad, Rāmāyaṇa, Vedas, Purāṇas, Quran, Bible, Torah. All these are the holy books. And there is nothing written to harm others. Everywhere is written great wisdom, love, and that we have to learn. That is a Guru Vakya. Now their Vakya, I am repeating. You are listening to me, but you should know that my words are the words of other great witnesses. Takže mantra. Planets, they went to space. It was those ṛṣis who experienced, made experiments, and declared the effects of the planets on other planets and on our planets. What you call astrology, astronomy, palmistry, the future, the present, the past. And not only these nine planets that we see. In astrology, you should know our Earth is not acknowledged, counted as a planet like Mars, Jupiter, and so on. No, there is not. Why? Because this is a living planet. This is a mṛtuloka. This is changing. So I’m not an astrologer, so I can’t talk too much, and it’s not today’s subject. Otherwise, everybody will have a consultation with me. So, better I keep my astrological knowledge in my pocket. But not only this, our solar system, but the ṛṣi said... The ṛṣis of Bhārata, India is the holy land. One of the holiest lands. All incarnations took place there. Indian culture, tradition, spirituality, astrology, philosophy, and so on, has contributed to the world. You have to come to go in. Now, this modern civilization, listen, this is a culture of no one, no country. Sometimes people say, "Oh, it’s American culture." No, no, it’s not American. America has very great ancient cultures: Inca, American Indians. Then they say, "Oh, European culture." It is not a European culture. Europe has beautiful culture, beautiful tradition, great music, great arts. How can you blame the European culture? So throughout the whole world, this modern culture is a kind of infection around the whole world. So now we don’t know which culture we are living in. And not only did we not manipulate the humans of culture, but we also destroyed agriculture. Which one man said, "All cultures are good, but the best culture is agriculture." That maintains our health and everything. We manipulated that too. Oh man, where do you want to go? Where do you want to lead us? And this beautiful nature, so we have to come to the ancient cultures. And therefore, yoga is ancient culture and living culture. And yoga, thanks to God, again will bring into the hearts and minds of the people peace, love, and harmony. All practicing around the world yoga, they ultimately come to their heart. But when you don’t practice, and you just dream like a self-made master, then you are far away from yoga. And you destroy yourself and confuse others. Practice, practice, kunate abhyāsa, abhyāsa kunate. So the ṛṣis said, "Ananta brahmāṇḍa, śāstra, sūryas, ananta brahmāṇḍa," endless universe, and thousands, millions of sun systems. No scriptures elder than the Vedas, and at that time, they said, there were no telescopes. There were no airplanes, there were no instruments through which they traveled in the universe. That was through their ātmā, through their astral body. You can’t imagine how much they practiced and how much they followed the discipline. Their life was several thousand years old. And sometimes when they’re meditating, it is said, the termites were putting their house over their body. But they had such strong immunity power that no one could destroy their body. Cold, hot, water, snow. Nothing. Strength. And what do we do? In the sleeping room, one mosquito disturbs the whole night. That’s all, and your sleep is destroyed. We make meditation, mala. Comes the mosquito, and you do like this yourself. That’s it. To endure tapasya. Śama, dama, śraddhā, or titikṣā. Titikṣā we don’t have. So let’s hope those ṛṣis will bless us. But they gave it to us free of charge, and we have it. So we shall use it or lose it. So the mantra, it was the power of the mantras through which they could go and get and come back. And therefore, they brought the mantras. So here, mantra means the resonance, the sound. So for every planet, there is a mantra. Astrologically, you have the mantra for that certain constellation, certain color, the stones. And if you use this, 100% sure, you will get relief. So don’t think, "Oh, there’s only moon, cannot be mantra." Yes, when the full moon is shining, and all the landscape is full of snow, then there is only one who is chanting that mantra of the moon. We call it the lone wolf. Yes, through that mantra, he can calm down his energy and emotions. So likewise, there is a mantra for everything. Yes. And then we come to the personal mantra. There are many mantras, Gāyatrī mantras, Hanumānjī Mantra, Śrī Yantras. All Yantras have Mantras. Many, many,... Many, but then finally we come to one called Guru Mantra. Now, your Guru Mantra should automatically have all other mantras’ essence. So, Guru Mantra is practiced, first of all, to improve, develop, and achieve our goal of life: self-realization. Guru Mantra is harmonizing and creating peace in body, in mind, in intellect, in consciousness. Guru Mantra harmonizes and brings peace to the body, to the mind, and to the consciousness. Just imagine. It’s very hot and very humid, and you walk long, and you are tired, thirsty, and hungry, sweating and sweating. You come now, and you put on your air conditioning, and you go under your water. How do you feel? How do you feel? Nice air-conditioning. Healthy or unhealthy? But we feel very good. So this individual soul, fluttering on the waves of time throughout the entire universe, experiences good and bad, light and darkness, love and hate. Completely exhausted, it finally arrives at the human body. And that mantra, that spirituality... And that devotion, bhakti, is that nice, fresh shower of happiness. So, mantra is like a protection against negative energies from the space. Mantra will help us to make things more possible. Saṅkalpa Siddhi comes through mantra. But you have to practice long and disciplined. Then you have the siddhi through that mantra. You know one story. There was a king. He had a beautiful park like this, and there was a beautiful mango tree, a young tree, and the first mango came on this tree, and the king and queen, they were walking through the park. Zavolal zahradníka, to take care and protect. So he put the net so no birds or animals could destroy it. And he put his little tent near the tree. 24 hours guarding. Mango was getting big. Nearly half, more than half a kilo, and getting ripe. On that day, when the mango was getting ripe, tomorrow it would fall down. So the gardener put cotton under the mango tree so the mango will not be damaged. And he was so happy that in one or two days, he would bring this mango to the respected, dear queen. One man with his wife was walking near the park outside, and his wife saw over the fence this nice tree, but it was covered with a net. She looked exactly inside. And she asked her husband, "What is this?" He said, "It seems this is the first fruit of this tree." Then I want to eat this first. The duty of the husband is to fulfill the wishes of the wife. It doesn’t matter what she asks; he has to do it. Even here, to die, but I want my wish to be fulfilled. Boys, before marriage, you must know. He said, "Darling, no problem," and he raised his hands like this. And he said, and he said... I don’t know this mantra because if you translate it wrong, it can affect you. So you can say, as Swamijī said, "Hrīṁ Khlīṁ." This is a very high, holy mantra, so I told you only the beginning two words: "Hrīṁ Khlīṁ." Mango came in the hand. He said, "Here you are, darling." She said, "Thank you, we will eat at home." The gardener had his lunch, and then he looked at the tree, and the mango disappeared. Oh, God. Maybe it fell down. So he looked, searched on the cotton, he removed the cotton, no mango, no birds, no squirrels, no humans were there. How did the mango disappear? He was so unhappy and afraid that God would punish him, the king. He went to the king and told the story. The king was very angry, and the king said to his son, "Find the thief." And that one will be burned in the fire alive. Who took this mango away? Who should tell who took it? The man came to know that the king was searching for someone who had taken the mango away. He came to the king. The king was not available, only the prince. He said, "Sir, I took the mango. Why?" So he told the story, because my wife wanted it. The prince was a little, normal person. Like Vivek Purī. A little, normal person. He said, "Do you know what will be the result?" He said, "Yes, I know. But I took that mango, and I came to tell you." How did you take it? He said, "I have a siddhi. I had my mantra anuṣṭhāna. Yes. And through my mantra, I took it. I can manifest it even." Then do it. So he said mantra on the opposite side. Uṛiṅdhāpuruḥari umśvahārim. Yes. Holding deep. Holding deep comes back. Prince said, "How many people in our kingdom have this siddhi?" He said, "Where is my master?" And he said, "Where is your master?" Unfortunately, my master passed away, and he had many, many disciples. And he had every year Mantra Anuṣṭhāna. But unfortunately, no one was capable of following the discipline. Somewhere something failed, either slept too long or came a little too late, or it was fasting but had a hidden chocolate, yeah. Many, discipline is discipline. When a doctor makes an operation, and then during the operation, don’t put something in your mouth that you say, "Oh, my husband is hungry, please, can you give him something?" You should not. No. So there is a certain discipline that attracts the energy. And that makes stronger your saṅkalpa in that your mantra anuṣṭhāna. No, does anyone have this siddhi? Unfortunately, no one. The master, he should die. Anyone around in the other kingdom? I don’t know that anyone has anything like this. In a far kingdom, there are my two guru-brothers, but I don’t know where they are. No, guru-sister? No, they didn’t want that. They said, "We want to have a good husband. If we have a good husband, all our siddhi is fulfilled. What do I want more?" Do you know that you will be burned in the fire? He said, "I know. It’s good to be burned earlier than later." Because sooner or later, one day, this body will be burned. So why not now? What about your wife? She has enough to eat, thank you. The prince went to the king and gave the news. "Put him in the fire." "Yes, father." "Don’t wait, go," he said. "But there is no but." "Yes." "Yes, but you didn’t ask me, father, how he took it." He didn’t steal it. He came onto our property. Then how did he do it? This is what I want to tell you. Yes. He has some siddhi. No problem. Burn him. Father, the knowledge which is lost will not come back. If you all sitting here have some talents and you don’t find someone who will learn from you, this talent will finish with you. Many masters, many gurus, they left their body. They didn’t find the proper disciples to whom they could give their siddhis or their power. So, father, before giving him punishment, better you learn it. And so, father, before you punish him, it would be better to learn it. The king said, "That’s a good idea." So he was brought in. Can you teach me? Yes. But discipline? The king said, "I will follow all the discipline." After a few months, the king still had no experience. And he told his son, "I can’t understand anything." Even I don’t know by heart the mantra Vāsī tells me. Son said, "Yes, father, it’s very clear. Why?" Father, when it’s raining, water is raining on the mountain, where does water flow? Down. So where are you sitting, father, when you are learning? I’m sitting on my throne. And where is your master sitting? Down. You see? Water goes from up to down, not from down to up. My dear father, discipline. Sit down. And let’s sit him up. Close the doors. And then he said, "Please, you sit up and the king sit down." And he said, mantra: Oṁ Harīṁ Klīṁ Vajendra Svāhā. And he understood. And then, further, other mantras. Well, after some time, the king got the siddhi. He asked for the mango. You know, to get one mango, how hard he had to work. Now you can send the mango to your wife while sitting here. So he materialized the mango, and he said, like this, and the mango went into her room. And she was happy, my mango, my mango, my first mango. Now the king said, "Can I materialize something different?" The master said, "This was only for one." Still, you have to do many, many anuṣṭhānas. The king said, "OK, it’s enough. I have got the mango. Now we will kill him." The son said, "Father, to kill your guru?" Means you know how many lives you have to suffer on the island, the dry island. There is no vegetation and nothing. The life of a reptile. In the life of a reptile, a castle. Read it in some books. So, do you want to be a king or some reptile under a hot rock? What should I do now? The king said, "Father, nothing." Give him the best place in the kingdom. Build him another beautiful palace and go every day for darśana. And he did it. So discipline, the mantra, comes the compassion, understanding, and love. First mantra practice is called writing. The abecedě in Sanskrit is called akṣara, and that means akṣa. When you do something good, you have earned akṣaya puṇya. Puṇya means pure, good things. Tvé dobré puṇya, ty se nikdy neztratí, pāpa uděláte, hřích, which cannot be deleted. That is in the record of the Dharmarāja and Yamarāja. So Pāpa and Puṇya, these are two. So when some person is doing good things all the time for everyone, we call Puṇyātmā, a pious soul. And the pure soul will ascend towards the higher consciousness. Punya karte jao, punya karte jao, do the punya, do the punya. When you walk on the road and you find a piece of glass or thorns, remove it. And that will be recorded for you in that record, in that record of Dharmarāja as merit. If you give eating to hungry creatures, it is written as puṇya. If you help some needy one, it is puṇya. If you help someone to solve a problem—physical, mental, social, and so on—according to your position, you did a puṇya. Though the doctor gets paid, the doctor made the operation, and he frees you from the pain and suffering that comes in the record of the Dharmarāja as Puṇya. Punya and pāpa do not look at the money. Good things, and of course you have to know. Otherwise, while doing good, you are doing bad. Like the story of the snail. Master and disciple walking, and master says, "Do always good, help all." And the disciple saw a snail walking on the road. And the disciple took it and put it in the field. And the master was angry, "Why did you do that?" "Master, because someone will kill it. Some car will come, or some people will walk on it. So I put it in the field. That’s good." But not good. So what do you mean, good and not good? Did you know which direction he wanted to go? Maybe his family is on the right side, and you put it far away again on the left side. It will take him another hour, and therefore, to know that’s very important. So, puṇya, try to do good things. Fill your part with good things. Fill your vessel with goodness. Piusol, then you will be known as a puṇyātmā. And that’s called Akṣar Brahm. That Akshar, everlasting, that is Brahman. Brahma satya, jagat mithyā. The ultimate truth is that Brahman. Not this, what we say: "You did this, and you did this, and you ate this, and this is it." Your physical body will be sooner or later burned. And not that you did this, you ate this, you ate this. The physical body will soon burn. Sooner or later, it will be on fire. So Devanāgarī Abhīkṣetā, this was one of the first languages that came. So there’s a 52 alphabet, and when the first sound, nāda, awoke, that time this ghawnī, the sound was formed in 52. It’s hard to read, even for a person who knows Sanskrit and Hindi. But not only the form, but it’s called that resonance, the vocal. And there are 52 centers in the brain. When you chant the mantras, it is active. And now we will make an experiment, okay? Why not? Put your hands here, the mango doesn’t fall down on your head. Like this, on the Sahasrāra Chakra, but very gentle, one place. Very gently, no pressure. And you should know where Sahasrāra Cakra is. It’s not here, it’s here. So these two small fingers come to here, the end of your hairline. You can put like this, or you can put like that. You will feel more beautiful. Every hand is very clean. Now, close your eyes. Sit straight. Keep your neck relaxed. Don’t put pressure on your head. Otherwise, you will not feel. Do not cover your head. Take away your hat and your turban. Five times we will chant Oṁ Tryambhakaṁ. Make sure that your palms are covering your Sahasrāra Chakra, otherwise you will not feel. Look at me, and you are like this, like this. Straight, relaxed. Eyes closed. I’m not happy with you. You are tense. Hands down. If you are not relaxed, that will not come, what I’m expecting. Okay, try to put it like this. Not crossed. Like this. Herr Gott, schau mich an. Und wo ist Halsradchakra? Entspannen. Schulter entspannen. Kiefergelenke entspannen. Relax your jaw. Don’t bite your teeth. Eyes closed only. I want that you should notice and tell me something after the vibration of this mantra, the resonance, which part of the brain you can feel. Or equally, straight, relaxed, your gentle palms must touch your head five times, all together. ... Now we will chant a long, long "Om" once only. Inhale three times in Sanskrit: Om śānti. And three times peace in German, so... The Mahāmṛtyu Jaya Mantra is very compact. Sahasrāra is the seat of Śiva. And now, what did you feel? Anyone would like to tell something? So nobody felt? Then tell, stand up the energy. Stand up. Thank you. Are both hemispheres equal or one-sided? Who want to speak, stand up, please, because the camera is going on you. Vibration here and there, from both sides, very strong. Equal. Thank you. Yeah. I felt similar, but I could feel that it was a little bit changing according to the words and the sounds, the syllables. 52 points. 52 points. So Gajan... Some points are still dormant, so he also felt those various words. He could feel different words vibrating in different parts of the brain. I could feel that every letter was sounding different, and the letter M was on the very top. M means Mahāprabhujī. M means Mahāprabhujī. Thank you. So very good, thank you. So therefore, each mantra is very compact. Akṣar Brahm. Tak to nemáte psát rychle, rychle, ale jako malý ṛṣi maluje portrét. So it is said the painting can be sung, the sound of the painting can be like music. And music sound can be written and painted. So the first practice is Likhita Mantra. We will come to this again in the afternoon. 5 o’clock, or 5:30, 5:30, 5:30 to 6:30, or 7 o’clock, so you should have already had lunch by 5 o’clock, dinner, and we will continue, so we can sit here, or we can be there like yesterday. Thank you. And so webcasting will be at 5:30 p.m. Strylecký time. Dear Bhakts, spiritual seekers, I wish you all the best and blessings.
