Good morning, everyone. Did you sleep well? Have good dreams? Snow? Do you know how cold it was last night? Ask Krishnānanda. Welcome. There are some questions. I just received an email saying that on the 21st of December this year, there will be two months of darkness and we should prepare. This happens every year, not only this year. So, it is a good joke. The 21st of December is the longest night and shortest day, but it is not as people are spreading in rumors. We will talk about it on the 21st of January, okay? There are some people who like to spread blackmail, and it spreads everywhere. Something very rare is announced, and then everyone begins to talk. So, next year in 2013, on the 21st of December, all who attend the seminar "Yoga and Dead Life" will levitate 100 meters above the water. They will look like angels in the snow, but space is limited. Hurry to register. It is very cheap: $21,000. Only a particular constellation will be there, not the whole weekend. You have to be present. If you miss half a minute, you cannot. So, yogīs will levitate in the snow. Yes. And where to send the money? Not to me. Not to the organizers. Send the money to the bank called Brahmaloka, for the protection of our planet. This is a commission to dear God, that He should take more care of our planet. That was it. We will have one more bhajan, then I will translate a bhajan related to this point. Thank you. Meanwhile, I have one question. The Kumbha Melā is just at the door, and this year it is more interesting regarding the 21st of January. Everything goes down, then we are in a safe place at the Kumbh Melā. There is a direct door to the Supreme. So, who is going to Kumbh Melā this year? Please raise your hand. Thank you, almost all of you. Looking forward to seeing you there. This year, the Kumbh Mela will have beautiful programs in our camp. There will be seven days of reading the Mahāśivapurāṇa. And also, for seven days, we will be reading about Maharṣi Gargācārya. Maharishi Gargācārya was the main priest at the wedding of Pārvatī and Śiva. He was a cool guru of Kṛṣṇa. He gave the name to Kṛṣṇa. He performed many ceremonies. Gargācārya was a great ṛṣi from Satyuga onwards, and his children were also very great. There is an award called the Gargī Award given by the Government of India to very talented students. It is a very high award. They were the ṛṣis, and we are all what we call the ṛṣi kula. We are all children of those ṛṣis. We maintain this ṛṣikul. Rishikul means the dynasty. The children of this particular ṛṣi became like a caste, but that is lost now in the modern world. It is like you have the name Müller. Mr. Müller, Mr. So-and-so. Your family name, no? That was the particular way the ṛṣi lineage came. But it has changed. Now you can change your name, you can change everything. You can change from Müller to Wagen. And from within, you can grow the inner. But in previous times it was not so. To maintain the quality of the dynasty—what we call the lineage—was the responsibility of the children. And among the children, the son, because daughters were married and went with their husband to the husband’s family. So she had to change her name, but boys did not; a boy has to keep the family name. And so the name remained; it is not good to change your surname then. That is why the dynasty began with some holy saint, holy ṛṣi. You may call him Swami, you may call him ṛṣi, you may call him holy, you may call him yogī. There was a ṛṣi called Agastya, the Agastya Ṛṣi. You know that the ocean did not want to give way. There is a long story in the Rāmāyaṇa. He drank the whole ocean with one sip of water, like we have only one sip. That was Agastya Ṛṣi, so the ocean had to come and apologize. Then again, the ṛṣi gave the water back. There was such great power. We cannot drink even one glass at once. The children of those ṛṣis were great. And so we are all children of those ṛṣis. It does not matter in which part of the world we are. The human race is created by Brahmā, and Brahmā first created the saptaṛṣis, the seven ṛṣis, out of his jñānendriyas. This is very nicely explained in the Mahāśivapurāṇa, because Śiva is the Manifestor. He is the first one. He is the Swayambhū. No one has created Him. The entire universe, what we see, the blue sky, is Śiva’s body. All the stars and moons and suns exist in Śiva’s body. Viṣṇu and Brahmā were created by Śiva. That Śiva is the Swayambhu, and it is His light. It is called Jīvanjyoti, the light of life, the flame of life. And in that Jyoti, He is manifesting as Śiva. Through His prāṇa and Śakti, creation happens. This has been going on for ages, but according to Vedic science and philosophy, the mathematics exactly counted the years—how many billions, trillions of billions exist in the universe. This is the science we have forgotten, and we believe only what people nowadays declare as science. Present-day science is only 12% of Vedic science. The time has come to research how they found out everything. Present science is still not able to go to all the nine planets. But those ṛṣis talked about the entire universe, where there are thousands of millions of solar systems. It is that Vedic mathematics and Vedic science that said even the entire endless universe is like a ball. But it has no end. All the moons and stars and everything are like a zero, and zero we call śūnya. The word zero in English is zero, and in German, I think they call it null. In Hindi, jīrā means the masala, cumin seeds. Jīrā, jīrā masālā. So if you say, "Bring me jīrā," they will bring you cumin seeds. Every language has its own meaning. Every language is a good language. No language is a bad language. But the best language is the language of love, with kindness, with humbleness. The worst language is talking badly about others. Even animals do not talk badly about others. Only sometimes dogs have dialogues the whole night, but they are not fighting. They are telling, "What was my master feeding me today?" and "What did you eat?" Animals do not backbite, animals do not criticize, animals do not tell the bad qualities of others. They have only two languages: love and eating. That is it. But humans have free hands, humans have a great chance, but we miss it. So, śūnyakāśa, śūnya. Śūnya means there is nothing. Though there is nothing, everything is in the nothingness. What science is saying is that where there is something, it is not a science. What is existing is not interesting. What is there is nothing. That is the science—to search out of nothingness. So the śūnya, the zero, represents the highest consciousness. You know, Swami Vivekanandajī, it has been now more than 100 years—about 125 or 120 years ago—he had a conference. They gave him time only zero? They gave him only two minutes. They said, "What subject should we give this Indian yogī?" They thought, "Naya, we invited him, let him talk for two minutes." They did not know exactly the philosophy, the science of India. The real Indian language is love. So Vivekananda stood up and said, "My dear brothers and sisters." He called us brothers and sisters? For the first time they heard that—you can tell someone, "Brothers and sisters." It was a very big surprise and a very positive impression. They always say, "Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen." With ladies and gentlemen, you have no relation. You can marry them. You can cheat them. You can make business with them. And you can fight with them, because it is just ladies and gentlemen. So you can say, "I am going to marry that lady." But when you say, my dear brothers and sisters, all relations are finished. Only one: you are my sister, you are my brother—not only brother and sister, but the dear one. And then he began to talk about jīva, śūnya, girls. You know how important girls are in the world? The whole world is praying to the girls. The richest of the rich person in the world is praying to the girls day and night: "Please come more to me." And who is that girl? Lakṣmī—the money. In Kaliyuga, we are all devoted to money. So the women can raise their hands up, as yet I look for America’s failure. Kali Yuga is a yuga of the women. Kali Yuga, a new course of a day in the Soviet Union, says Soviet gents key. Powerful, I know. That is why Śakti and Śiva are not acknowledged through the gender system. No. If you take Shakti and Shiva as genders, you do not know anything about Shiva and Shakti. It is consciousness, energy. So a man can be like a female, and a female can be like a man. A man’s consciousness is more involved in female consciousness, and a female’s consciousness is more involved in male consciousness. A beautiful girl comes in. Observe psychologically if the man’s eyes go directly there first, or the woman’s. Because men say, "Oh, my part has come, my energy." And if some beautiful man comes, you look—more eyes, women’s go to that. So this is a very nice unity: Śakti and Śiva, Gaurī and Śaṅkara. We have two hemispheres, and we have two parts of our heart. Everything is two. Our jñānendriyas are two eyes, divided in two. Why not only one eye? Two ears? Why not only one ear? So many things we have to think. God gave us equal rights, equal feelings, equal energies. So always the woman is the beautiful mother, and without mother, finished. And the father, of course. Without the father, everything is empty. But without children, their life is finished. There was a king, and the king had one daughter. You must know that we love daughters more than the son, the boy, the man. The father loves the daughter more than the mother, and the mother loves the son more than the daughter, except in certain cases. In a normal family, they love them equally. When a girl finds a boyfriend, then the father is more jealous. And when a boy finds a girlfriend, then the mother is more jealous. That is the feeling. The king had one daughter. He loved her more than anything. His daughter was for him like a son, like God. He had sons also, but he loved his daughter so much that he wanted to find the best husband for her: very intelligent, learned, capable, beautiful. The daughter was also educated very much in Vedānta, Yoga, all philosophies. Now, there was a condition: who should be married to her, or who can marry her? She had to have a question and personally answer a philosophical question. Not a question of how to make lecsó—even every Hungarian small girl knows how to make lecsó. If you ask Slovakian girls how to make halušky, it is just normal things. But if you ask Africans how to make halušky, they do not know what it is. You know, when somebody asked me how to make halušky, I said, "Hallucination, that’s it." So she had a particular game, and that prince who would come had to play with her. If she was the winner, the boys were rejected. Many, many princes came, and they all lost again. She had some special sādhanā, and she had a very beautiful cat. She had some kind of magic with her cat, magic techniques. She used to have her cat beside her. You understand me? Whom did she want to have beside her always? And the mañjarī on her head, she used to put an oil lamp. As long as the oil lamp burned without disruption, no one could be in her. No one could be the winner. No one. Even Brahmā would come and play. Brahmā would lose also. Genski. So they were very... and the king used to tell them, "Go and bring someone. My daughter is getting older." They all, the pundits or messengers, were tired of it. Hundreds of men came. No one was a winner. Once these old people went to Govindpurī and said, "Dear brother, we are tired, we are fed up." He said, "From what? From that girl? No one can win." He said, "What is that? How is that? The cat is between the game." He said, "No problem. The cat is another generation of the females, women." So he said, "No problem, just like this." They said, "You are great, but how?" They said there is one shepherd who is with the goats and sheep in the forest. He does not know how to write A, B, C. He knows only how many sheep and goats are there and how to milk them, nothing else. Govind Purī said, "That man is a perfect husband for that girl." Destiny, what a destiny. They went to that man and asked, "Hello, brother, how are you?" He said, "Good, do you want to buy some goats?" "No, no." "Do you want to buy the manual of the goats?" "No, no." They asked, "Are you married?" He said, "What is that? It is a new word in my dictionary." So they explained to him that you have a wife and so on. He said, "That’s interesting." So they said, "We would like you to marry the princess." He said, "Who is that?" So they explained to him. He said, "Yes, he heard something about that." But no one could go there and see her. They said, "Yes, that is what we want to do. But you have to do what we say. Do not do anything wrong. Do not move. If we said yes or no, otherwise you are out. Good." So he went to the barber, he went to the make-up, and he went to the tailor and had a nice dress. They brought him to Govindpurī. So Govind Purī put on his vest a bamboo flute—a beautiful bamboo flute. He put something inside; nobody knows. And he said, "When the game begins, and when you think, ’Now she is going to win,’ you release this little thread which is tied on his waist." He does not know. You will see what happens; he will lose it. Well, they knew what it is. So Govind Purī said, "Come tomorrow again as a winner." Now the game begins. Nearly, she is going to win in a few minutes. And the cat is sitting nicely. But the cat is looking constantly into the flute. When the time came to wean, they released little threads, strings. To this string was tied a mouse, and when it was released, the mouse tried to come out, and what did the cat do? Light gone off. Idiom: they pull the thread back again. Seven times, and that is why now you have to walk around the fire seven times. Yes, winner. There are two meanings to this. The hidden nature is difficult to overcome. You can meditate many, many years, but inside, if you have this devil energy, the time of your liberation comes, and suddenly all negative energy explodes. Therefore, Mahāprabhujī said, "Slowly, slowly." Well, she was happy, but she said, "This is not the last game. Tomorrow will be the philosophical dialogue." So, they went again to Govind Purī. What to do? Is there no problem? He should sit peacefully and let her talk. So she did not speak. She was speaking with mudrās. Only mudras. And he must tell her what this mudra means. If it is wrong or right. If he gives the right answer, she is ready to marry him. Okay. The shepherd is sitting there. And his friends are there, his companion who was accompanying. The princess came, and the shepherd was sitting in front of her, just looking at her. And they said, "Sit straight." She asked, "What does he do? What does he say?" "Oh," he said, "knowledge is still so-so." Her knowledge, she is going to make a philosophy. But I doubt her knowledge. She took the tissues and said, "My God, this must be the very wise husband." One of the companions ran and called Govind Purī back. "Please, now is the last judgment, the last trial. You have to be there now. The girl is asking a question with the mudra: 'Eko brahma'—only one Brahman." And the shepherd thought, she is telling me like this. So he said, "I will give you." She said, "What did he mean?" They looked to Govind Purī. Govind Purī said, yes, he agrees, there is only one Brahman, but without five tattvas. The Brahman is nothing. So she said, "Yes. I accept, yes, five elements." Wise, very, very wise person. So she said like this: he was angry, like that. She said, what does it mean? He said, "Five separate cannot do anything. Help to become one, five elements." This is a great person. Any more questions? Govind Purī said he tells the constellation is wrong, no more talk. She said, "He knows about constellations?" Yes. So she came with a flower garland and gave him the garland. She married, and he got the palace. He went to the palace, into the room with her, and he begins to talk, "Where are my goats, and what are they doing?" And she said, "Which goats?" Then he said, "I cannot talk to you, I have to go to my goats." She said, "Who are you?" "I am a shepherd." "Oh, God!" She kicked him out of the window, and he fell down. Then he said, "Oh, thank you, but my goats." And he went away. But when he fell down, what happened to him? Some chakras awakened. He became a great poet. Now, I am the Kavi Kālidāsa. That is such a big book written in Sanskrit poetry. When you study philosophy, if you want to do a PhD, then you have to go through Kavi Kālidāsa. So you never know. So when, when, what can awake in us? But it means not. Listen carefully. Do not push your husband away. So, in the śūnya, in the zero, emptiness, but within that is that ray of light, the energy which was received by those great ṛṣis, so-called the Brahma Putra, the children of Brahmā. And that energy, that creation as a human, we all are. So, do not lose your roots. Trace out your roots. That is the eternal Sanātana. Sanātana means relation, connection. That is why Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa said in the Bhagavad Gītā: "Mame vaso jīva loke"—I am in everyone, all creatures. All are my sanātana, my relative, my essence. So search thy dynasty; finally you will come to some ṛṣi. And if you have lost it, then let us hope for the best. It is also good, but if you have this, then it will be easier to approach that Supreme. It is very important to know your ancestors. Only your ancestors are the link to your roots. So, how many generations do you know? Five, six, ten, fifty, a hundred. By the five hundredth generation, you will come to know which Ṛṣi is where, or by the one hundredth generation. It is not very far. Research work came that in a Yugoslavian part called Serbia, they said there is a lot of generation, what we call the farmer Jat in India. They have very similar names. This was research by one of the ladies who is from Serbia, married in India. And she made research, so we do have a relation around the world somehow. Then it is easy to overcome the karmic causes in our life: way of living, way of thinking, and way of ceremonies. Every culture has its ceremonies, and every denomination has its ceremonies. But this ceremony should be that which links to your ancestors. If we do not know, then we shall concentrate for the future. Then we have to link, join some other. And that is then finally the Satguru Dev. So that all comes then to one light. So what I wanted to tell you: in Kumbh Mela there will be the reading about and talk about Gargācārya. And Ṛṣi Gargācārya is the lineage where I also, my lineage goes back. He is one who brought what we call astrology. He was a great scientist who brought astrology and astronomy. And automatically, in this generation, they have the knowledge of astrology. Even though they have very little education, they have astrological knowledge. This ability is there, the blessing is there. And then it will be Mahāśivapurāṇa. So this Kumbh Melā will be very, very interesting, and I think we will also try to be there more. Thank you. So, come quickly to Kumbh Melā. Do not come only for one day. One day is no day. One week is a very weak week. Two weeks is thick. We should all bathe together. Thank you. They wish for Mahādeva kī, Mādhava Kṛṣṇa Bhagavāne kī, Sanātana kī. Now the sādhvī Śāntījī will sing one bhajan. Yes, think over which one you will sing. Okay. Oh God, again I have forgotten to speak about the Mahāpralaya. My mind? Better not to speak, because Mahāprabhujī is still not here. Nīcchā bhavānā yunak samajā nārāka nāreṣa.
