Divine Radiance Of Kumbh Mela

The human mind is the source of all pollution, even at holy places.

Physical and sound pollution arise from human desires, ego, and greed. Sound pollution disrupts nerves and subtle energy centers. Electronic waves from devices harm health and block spiritual energy. Contentment is the antidote to desire; true wealth lies in satisfaction. The rivers Gaṅgā, Yamunā, and Sarasvatī symbolize the three nadis of yoga. This Triveṇī Saṅgam is sanctified by eons of meditation. Those at the Mahākumbha Melā are blessed by divine grace. Divine thoughts allow absorption of this place’s purifying radiance. A guru’s mantra is essential; without initiation, liberation is impossible. The guru’s grace protects from all harm. Yogic practice opens the brahmarandhra for liberation; impure states lead to lower realms. Karma returns like a boomerang; thoughts manifest accordingly. The sixteen Vedic saṃskāras purify and guide toward salvation. Mental pollution is the most dangerous, born from an unsettled mind. Good thoughts and devotion make life successful.

"Mother Earth has enough for everyone’s needs, but not for everyone’s greed."

"Each thought which goes out of the human mind will cycle like a boomerang and come back to that human."

Śānti, śānti,… Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī, Deveśvara Mahādeva Kī, Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī, Jaya. Good evening and blessings to all of you. Every day I speak in Hindi, but today I would like to speak something in English. First of all, welcome you here at the holy bank of the river Gaṅgā and Yamunā. And Sarasvatī, it is the holy place. It is called the king of all the holy places, Prayāgrāj Tīrtha, Prayāgrāj. Many people think differently about the holy river, and day by day, the people find the river is polluted. Definitely, we can see it is a pollution, but this is a pollution from the human mind. There are different kinds of pollution: physical pollution, sound pollution, which we all try to put our loudspeaker higher, like the other one is also doing. This is nothing but pollution. If we all would keep the sound only to what we can hear in our tent only, in our camp only, we can benefit more. But it is human desires and human ignorance, as well as the greed of humans, which comes out of their ego, that would like to tell everyone how good I am. But we don’t think clearly that maybe someone doesn’t like to listen to what we are saying. Maybe someone doesn’t like to listen to what we are singing. It means we do not respect each other’s; when I put my loudspeaker louder, the other will do more. Now we have to put our volume higher so that you can hear me. Otherwise, there is a lot of other noise coming. The sound pollution is more dangerous than the physical pollution. The sound pollution, there are two kinds: one is positive, that is helpful, “Mahāprabhujīp Karatā He Kevalam.” There is a very negative effect on our nerve systems, gland systems, and on our blood cells. And especially on our 72,000 nerves, which connect to the different glands and cakras in the body. Those cakras which have a responsibility to receive the cosmic energy and to change that energy in that particular part of the body which is for those centers—muscles, heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, pituitary, pineal glands, etc. The entire brain waves, so the people who are practicing yoga, people who are meditating, or someone is trying to practice what we call kuṇḍalinī and cakras, it is very hard for the people to awaken that energy due to the very subtle, very subtle vibration of the electro waves, the electro energies. There, I am one disciple. He made one; it’s called a bioprotector. You see in my hand one telephone, a mobile telephone. Twenty years ago, it was not born, and now everyone has one, two, three telephones in their hands. If you have this telephone, this mobile phone in your chest pocket, it influences your heart rhythms. It has a very negative effect on your heart. If you keep this telephone in your jeans, what they call today, in your back trousers pocket or in your kurtā side pocket, then it has a very bad effect on the lower cakras, Mūlādhāra and Svādhiṣṭhāna. It means it has a very bad effect on the gender systems. Also, it can happen that one might not get a child. If the child will not be helpful. And it may also be possible that the husband will not be able to give the child. So this, it is scientifically proven. When you are using your mobile phone near your ear all the time, you feel burning, you feel pain. Now, what we call, we try to do something, try to come out of the frying pan and you fall into the fire. Arre, tel kī kaḍāī, jisme pakode aur purī banāte hai, frying pan jisko kehte, kaḍāī se bāhar nikalne kī koshish kī to bhattī mein gir gaye, hai ke nahī? So what happened is that those things we call Bluetooth, they started being used. Now, Bluetooth has a more negative radiance than even this telephone, and a cordless phone from the landline also has a very negative radiance, in your car, in your house, in… In your pocket, in your office, in your kitchen, it means we humans are completely involved in entire negative radiances or the waves, electro-waves. So there are some instruments. This is called a bioprotector for the mobile phone, for the chest pocket, for the computer. If you use this, 95% of the time you are protected. That’s why it’s called a bioprotector. If you don’t use this, you are 100% protected. It means, if you don’t use this mobile telephone at all. And therefore, there are many people in villages who don’t use this. Pehle bhī to hum jīte the, to desires, Mahātmā Gāndhījī said, “Mother Earth has enough for everyone’s needs, but not for everyone’s greed.” So this is another pollution. Now, likewise, from many different pollutions, the most dangerous pollution, and the cause of all other pollutions, is the human mind. Everything is born out of the human mind. And therefore, it is said to be content, satisfied. Be content. Santoshī nar sadā sukhī, jiske pās mein santosh hai, vo hameshā sukhī hai. Gaj dhan, baj dhan, aur ratan dhan khān, jab āye santosh dhan, sab dhan dhūl samān. Those who have santoṣa, contentment, then all kinds of wealth are like dust. But still, we will find very rare humans who have no desire to have something. Ek bār pūchā gayā ki sabse jyādā bhagavān paise vālā rīch ādmī jo kahte hai, vo kaun hai? Sabse Baṛā Dhanvān Kaun Hai? To kaha ki sabse baṛā dhanvān vo hai, jiske koī icchā nahī̃, aur bhikhārī kaun hai? Even though he has crores and billions of rupees, he remains engaged day and night in increasing his money. There is no greater beggar in the world than him. Even with crores and billions of rupees, he cannot sleep, worrying about how expensive gold has become today, how expensive silver has become. Ho, Aloha Kitnā Hoā, Hesāb Kitnā Hoā… He says that Kubera is also present. Kubera is the treasurer of Bhagavān. Kubera is also present, whose days are still spent with alms. If there is carelessness, if there is carelessness,… if there… So the mental pollution is the most dangerous pollution. Now, here, coming at the bank of the Holy Gaṅgā and the Yamunā, definitely there is a Sarasvatī. And they see a pratīk hai, definitely physically they are here. But symbolically, we also count them for a yogī. Iḍā, Piṅgalā and Suṣumnā; Gaṅgā, Yamunā and Sarasvatī. These three nāḍīs control our emotion, intellect and consciousness. The yogī bathes every day in the Triveṇī Saṅgam. In the morning, when you get up and meditate at the center of the eyebrows, which we call Triveṇī Tīrtha, Bhrūmadhya, Ājñā Cakra. So when you go in the morning and meditate, here you realize that Ātmā Jyoti. After that, you enter into your Hṛdaya Ākāśa, Hṛdaya Ākāśa, the space in the heart. Ghaṭākāśa, Maṭākāśa, Siddhākāśa, Ākāśa, or Mahākāśa, similarly the Hṛdaya Ākāśa is there also. In the heart, there is a small cave, as mentioned in the Kaṭhopaniṣad and the Vṛndāraṇyopaniṣad. There is a small blue light in it, and that blue light is the light of Śiva, and that is the ātmā. Along with that, ātmā, jīvātmā, jīvātmā is the mixture of ātmā and ātmā. So now here, sitting at the bank of the holy rivers Gaṅgā, Yamunā, and Sarasvatī, where they have been since the yugas, from the Satyuga time, if we count the millions, the trillions of humans who have come here, gathered here, and numbers of the ṛṣis and incarnations, all the twenty-four incarnations, and millions of the holy saints, svāmīs, sādhus, whatever you call them, and the millions of the bhaktas around the world, they came here and meditated. Therefore, this place, no doubt, is a holy place. And now, this special constellation is what we call the Mahākumbha Melā. Mela means coming together. Mela means meeting, joining, uniting, coming together. So lucky are you, fortunate one are you, blessed you are that you have the opportunity and Gurudev, Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ, Mahāprabhujī, Devpurījī, and Svāmī Mādhavānandajī’s divine grace that you could come here. Now, these few days where you are, you should spend with divine thinking. Divine thinking doesn’t matter if you are meditating or not. You are sleeping, or you are working. You are walking, or you are cooking, or you are eating. You are within this aura. Uṣī abhā maṇḍal ke andar hai, āp chāhe kuch bhī kām kar rahe ho. So you are within this radiance. This is divine radiance. That radiance will remove all the negative vṛttis, radiances which are coming from physical, mental, and electronic waves, pollutions. Therefore, we are here, and we think one thing: that it is a very good bhajan. Devana, Devana Satguru Nāmka Mastānā Be Paravāo Pākī, Devana Satguru Nāmka Mastānā Helī Viparvā Opā Kīr Devānā, Satguru Nām Mastānā Helī Gagan Opā Māge Rakhā, Jodharanī Jodhīr, Rāmjī Gagan Jodharanī Jodhīr. Hello, yes. Hari Om. Who is speaking? Hello. Kī Jai, Deva, Kī Jai, Deva,… Kī Jai. If there is a negative attitude in the mind, if there is a kaleṣṭha attitude, then only sorrow is going to be sorrow, there is a kaleṣṭha. And when there is a good thought in the mind, there is no kind of trouble in it. The kāleṣṭha kāleṣṭha attitude of both these attitudes is opposed by mantra chanting. Kedāra, it is simple. The mantra given by your guru, the meaning of the mantra is also that the mantra becomes satiated. Then the mind does not have any kind of hunger. The mantra becomes satiated. Until the sādhaka receives initiation from a knowledgeable, good guru, he will not get a good mantra. To uskā mokṣa nahīṁ ho saktā. That is why it is very important to be a Guru Mukhī, and it is also very important to chant his mantra and practice it. And if a practice is done through a method, then surely he will get good results and benefits. In this way, we take the name of Bhagavān, and it is good to take the name of Bhagavān in any form or at any time. He Kevalam He Kevalam… Bhadana kartā hai, to kaha jisko rakṣayā mār sake na koī, bāl na bākā kar sake chāhāī jo jagmehrī hoī, jiskī Bhagavān rakṣakartā hai, jiskī Gurudev rakṣakartā hai, jitne tāre gagan me usne duśman hoī, kṛpā ho Gurudev kī, jak māre sabhī koī. Jitne Tāre Ākāś Meṁ Haiṁ, Itne Duśman Ho, but if you follow the grace of Gurudev, then no one can harm you. That is why meditation should be a practice. Only then does the tenth door open, which is called the Sahasrāra Cakra, which is called the tenth door, which is called the Brahmaraṅdra. A sādhak who practices Viddhivāda, on whom the grace of the Guru is bestowed, his jīvātmā comes out of the Sahasrāra Cakra at the end, and from the different doors of others. And the one who goes to hell, and the one who goes to the zone of insects, animals, etc., while dying, he gets Mala Piśāca. I.e., his jīvātmā went from that door, which is the door of hell. That is why we should always keep our high thoughts and high feelings, and we should practice that practice so that our consciousness, our Jīvātmā, in the end, in Sahasrāra Cakra, can be contained in Brahma. So in this, one practice should be done in a pure place. So, our Prayāgrāj, Tirat, what will be the pure land or place with this? What will be the bigger land or place with this? Here, the ones who are born are also fortunate, whether they know it or not. Whether they are Hindus, Muslims, or Christians. In the court of God, this is not a problem. All these problems are here. After death, they will not say, “I am a Muslim, send me to the mosque,” and the Hindu will say, “Send me to the temple,” and the Christian will say, “There is neither a shrine nor a grave, and there is…” No temple, there is nothing; they are one. That subtle world, whatever your karma will be in front of it, you will go in the same way. Patta Ṭūṭā Dal Se Le Gayī Pavan Uḍāy, Ab Vichāre Kab Milenge, Aur Dūr Paḍege Jai. He said this, and the sages have told us about the saṁskāras of our Sanātana Vedic religion. Certainly, through those sixteen saṃskāras, this jīva can attain salvation from chaurāsī. That is why it is very necessary to do saṃskāras. Those who have not done saṃskāras will have to wander back. There is no way to go ahead. So, by practicing good practices, by taking the teachings of the Guru, by practicing, by chanting the hymns of the Lord, by doing Guru Bhakti, we should make our life successful. You will come true. You will be negative. It is like that. Whatever you think, it will come back to you. The great saint from Paramahaṁsa Yogānanda’s grandmaster said, “Each thought which goes out of the human mind will cycle like a boomerang and come back to that human.” If you think bad thoughts, they will return to you. If you think good thoughts, then that will also come to you. In this complete Brahmāṇḍa, there is no such place where your karma will go. No, it will come to you. These are the bundles of birth and death; the bundles of sins and virtues are on our shoulders, on our back. That is why we should wash our sins. Why should we keep such bad thoughts? Bhagavān to ek hī hai, do hai nahīṁ, hum svāmī Bhagavān kā svarūp hai, janvar bhī Bhagavān kā svarūp hai, isī lie sādhanā, saṁskāra, sādhak, sādhanā, sadvicāra, samadṛṣṭi, ādi ādi rakhne vālā ek mahān puruṣ sant kelātā hai. And in ten minutes, Mahāśiv Prāṇ will be shown. So, welcome to all of you. Please come. And Mahāśiv Prāṇ will be shown there in the garden.
