God Is One

The gathering honors a revered spiritual teacher and celebrates the universal principles of Sanātana Dharma. This philosophy teaches that God is one, like the earth and ocean are one, though humans divide them with names. True religion has no single founder or beginning in time; it is the eternal truth manifest within the heart. The culture of India is unique, sustained by its saints and sages who reveal this universal path. The teacher has opened the door of sannyāsa and yoga to all people worldwide, beyond any sectarian boundaries. This stage is a divine home for self-realization, representing the unity of the world family. The right to spiritual upliftment belongs to every human being.

"God is one. To understand it, we will have to discuss with a little example. Earth is one."

"The heart is the real religion, the religion which has no beginning point."

Mahārāj Jī, Mahārāj Jī, Mahārāj Jī, Mahārāj Jī, Mahārāj Jī... Jī Mahārāj Jī Mahārāj... Jī Mahārāj... Today is a very auspicious occasion for us, that in our midst, our Pañcāyatī Mahānirvāṇī Akhāḍā’s Nirvāṇa Pīṭhādheśvara, Param Śraddhā Archanīya Vandana, is present. Some time is left, as you all know that a lot of work is going on, and tomorrow we have to go out for a bath too. So, without further ado, I would just like to say that among all of us who have come here, I would like to request Swāmījī Mahārāj to give his blessings to all of you. May all of you live your lives with happiness and joy. Live in our Indian culture, because we all know that the world has the greatest culture. So, our Sanātana, our Vedic, our Indian culture. And you know that time is money in the world. Time is very precious. That’s why I will say this: you all know where you are sitting? At the banks of the Gaṅgā. Where? At the banks of the Gaṅgā. Let us all be holy in the holy water of the Gaṅgā. Because the country in which you are sitting, the culture in which you are sitting—we all believe that our country cannot be like any other country, our culture cannot be like any other culture, our language cannot be like any other language. That is why you all also love us. A foreign person told me a very good thing. "Swāmījī, I have come to India nine times." So I asked him, "What do you like the most in India?" He said, "No matter how many shortcomings there are in India, as long as there are saints in India, these great men will remain in India. No country like India can exist." Our culture is based on these saints, these great men, because Indian philosophy is very deep philosophy. That is why we are very proud of our Param Śraddhā Mahāmaheśvara Svāmī Maheśvarānand Jī Mahārāj. Not only in India, but also in the whole world, one of the Mahāpuruṣa Mahāmaheśvaras of our Akhāḍā has spread Sanātana Dharma. Whenever I meet him, I feel very happy. I have been to Śraddhā Mahārāj many times in Vienna. We have met there about four or five times, and in Europe, in Germany, in Linz, we have been together in many places. I know that Swāmījī has spread our culture and our religion all over the world. Many times Mahārāj Śrī Ācāryajī Mahārāj also talks about it. He says that our Maheśvarānanda Jī Mahārāj has given a very great discourse. He had also said in the previous Kumbh that we consider him as the Antaraṣṭrīya Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara, Śraddhā Svāmī Maheśvarānand Jī Mahārāj. He is the superstar of our Dharma world. We are very happy. First of all, our adoration to our respected holy Ācārya Śrī and all respected Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Śrīs—Ātmanandjī Mahārāj, Supremānandjī Mahārāj, Jasrājpurījī Mahārāj, and all other new Mahāmaṇḍaleśvaras and all the holinesses on this stage. You all know 90%, and those who don’t know, 10%, you will know now that we are very fortunate ones, very blessed ones. We are very happy to welcome here in our camp His Holiness Ācārya Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara of Mahānirvāṇī Akhāḍā. He is very, very busy. Thousands of people are sitting in front of his āśrama waiting for his darśana, and many others are waiting for the bhaṇḍārā. Still, in spite of this, all His Holiness took the trouble and came to our akhāḍā, to our āśrama. We are very, very thankful and very happy. We all humbly request His Holiness to bless us. As I think, seeing you before myself and also with these days, a new philosophical and spiritual era has begun. All of you, as divine souls, are being seen here. Vasudhaiva Kuṭumbakam—this is a very meaningful sentence from the Indian Sādhus. The divine relationship, the true relationship of mankind, lies in this sentence. I see the practical scene of this sentence here. This stage is not only the stage of Kumbh Melā on Saṅgama soil, but this is a kind of world stage for divine abode, for self-realization, to make ourselves unified with that supreme power which is called God. Swāmī Maheśvarānanda Jī Mahārāj has given the philosophical truth of Indian philosophies. Indian philosophies have given an opportunity to recognize ourselves as members of a world family at this stage. God is one. To understand it, we will have to discuss with a little example. Earth is one. We divided it with names of countries. Earth is one. Sea, ocean is one, but we divided it also with names. In this world, there is no part of soil without anyone’s ownership. Every part of earth has ownership. But the whole earth—who is the master of the whole earth? That is God. This entire creation is governed by only one God. God also has name and form, and it is also very above with this name and form, as with some people who belong to America, Australia, England, and so on. You have, perhaps, I think, money. Do you have money? In your purse, do you have some money? What is the money in India? Rupees. And whenever you go back to America, Australia, or to your country, what will be the money? That country’s currency is money, but the money is very above with this currency sense. Sanātana Dharma, India’s religion, tells us a very universal truth, a philosophical truth that is very, very important to each and everyone. There is no discrimination. Philosophy and religion, in a real sense, uplift us towards God-realization and self-realization. Sannyāsa is not only bound to India’s traditional system. It is the human being’s right, the right founded by Swāmī Maheśvarānanda Jī Mahārāj, our very respected His Holiness Swāmī Maheśvarānanda Jī Mahārāj. The right which was bound only to India’s culture and system has been spread out for the whole world, so that everyone has the right to receive sannyāsa. Everyone has the right to uplift himself towards God as a yogī. Yoga is one, the system is one, but we are divided into different names and forms and systems and methods. Swāmī Mahārāj has put up an ideal example for the whole world that Yoga is one, God is one, and sannyāsa is the right for human beings. He opened the door for everyone and everybody. It’s a good thing. Above the mazhabi culture, we are not bounded by any mazhab. We have no mazhab. Only Sanātana Dharma, only India has no mazhab. Where is mazhab? Before the mazhab system, there was only Sanātana Dharma. Sanātana Dharma, the religion—Vivekānanda says it is nothing but the manifestation of divinity which is already in the mind. This divinity is unknown. To know it, to get it into knowledge, Swāmī Mahārāj tried to manifest it for everyone. The heart is the real religion, the religion which has no beginning point. The religion which has no beginning point of time, the religion which has no founder, that is called Sanātana Dharma. That Sanātana Dharma is for human beings. We are entering a new era of human beings, a system of philosophy and spirituality. With this stage, therefore, this is the very meaningful stage for everyone for divine home, divine... Many thanks, many thanks. I will come again to see you. It is too late. Oh, it is too little to say our... thank you, but we can say we adore you or we love you. And Nireñjana Purī will speak a few words. Swāmī Nireñjana Purī from Prague, Czech Republic, will speak in Hindi. Three minutes maximum. We can only meet our Śrī Gurudev in foreign countries. And we have such a great fortune here in Kumbh Melā. Especially when such a great person like you comes here, we are very happy. The second reason is that in your health, in your sannidhyā, in your caraṇa and your blessings, our great brothers also become Mahāmaṇḍaleśvaras, and then they do their work in foreign countries. If you know what kind of work they do in Akhāḍā Dvāra, then you will also be happy. Gurudev has been spreading Sanātana Dharma, Yoga, and Vedic Sanskrit for 40 years throughout the whole world. His Guru Tattva is present everywhere, but the body is one. We need the true representatives of Śrī Gurudev, who can make his Tattva possible for other people. Swāmījīśvara Rājapurījī, since the creation of Mahāmaṇḍala Svarbhāṇī, so many works have been done, which have given a lot of inspiration to a large number of people. And you get spiritual inspiration. In the last three years, you have traveled abroad four times. Twice you went to Australia, twice to European countries. In the Czech Republic and Hungary, there is a lot of practice of Kriyānushāsana and Kriyānushṭhāna, where they always do Sādhaka and Yoga Sādhanas. All of this happened because of the blessings of Mahāmaṇḍala Svarbhāṇī, who does this work within the Akhāḍā Dvāra. So, like our Gurudev has been promoting yoga for 40 years, but for 15 years he has been doing this work in the name of Akhāḍā. Because wherever we go, whether it is the United Nations or to meet some president, anywhere, then the name of Akhāḍā is definitely mentioned in their introduction. So we are grateful to you that you give us such an opportunity, that we foreigners who are born in a different culture also have the opportunity to move forward on the path of this Sanātana Dharma. So please give the way. Move a little bit away, then there is a way. And I am also going to the Akhāḍā. I will come today a little earlier, and we will speak afterward. We thank our Ācārya Śrī and other Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Śrīs for their coming. Thank you. Stay a little farther. Please go back.
