Final Essence Of The Teachings

This Mahāśivarātri gathering addresses the significance of abhiṣeka and spiritual wisdom. Śiva is the primordial being, Lord of Yoga, from whom all spiritual sciences—mantra, yantra, tantra—manifest. Abhiṣeka offers an opportunity to make a wish, but selfish desires must be avoided. Contradictory prayers, such as one for a husband and another to be rid of a husband, illustrate the futility of selfish asking. The essence of the Vedas and six philosophies is that giving happiness yields happiness, and causing sorrow returns sorrow. All creatures inherently seek joy and freedom from suffering. The foundation is goodness: if one is good, the world becomes good. God does not immediately fulfill every wish because emotional wounds need time to heal. The body does not experience pain; the soul alone feels all sensations. Therefore, prayer should aim at healing the soul and guiding it toward light. Tomorrow morning silent abhiṣeka begins early, followed by meditation and a program. Yoga teaching certificates are granted to qualified individuals. Prasāda is distributed, and chanting of “Oṁ namaḥ śivāya” is encouraged. Blessings are offered to all, including travelers.

“If you give someone happiness, you get happiness. And if you give someone trouble, you will get trouble.”

“All creatures want one thing: to get happiness and get rid of troubles.”

Good morning. First, we shall sing a prayer, the first śloka, and you shall continue. Who is coming for abhiṣeka? Śivarātri, and you should also go. So, blessings to all friends, brothers, sisters, dear ones here and in other parts of the world. Here, blessings. This is coming to you from the holy place, Mahāprabhujīp Āśram, Czech Republic. This weekend is an occasion of Mahāśivarātri. So let’s have the first Āratī: Namo namo gurudevajī koṭi koṭi praṇāma, pālaka pālaka prabhu vinati, sukha sādhātī jana... Paramahansa Gurudevajī, Tīna Loka Ke Ke, Śṛṇāra Muni, Sabh Sant Janai Satguru Sandhata Nahī, Sabh Jagamandana, Kyā Rājā, Kyā Bhadāśā, Sabhī Khadare. Guru Mūrti Mukhacandrama Sevakāne Na Cakor Guru Śakṣā Tasmīśi Dhyānam Guru Mūrti Pūjā Mūlam Guru Vākyam Mokṣam Om Dīp Jyoti Parabrahma Dīpam Sarve Mohan Dīpanam Sajyate Sarvam Sandhyā Dīpam Sāram Oṁ Namo Prabhudīpa Vināśī Api Brahma Api Viṣṇu Apo Kailāśa Kailāsī Āpo Śūr Prakāśī Āpo Brahma Nirvāṇī Āpo Āp Turvāsī, Āp Hūśat Nām Ke Dātā Āp Hūśan. Slowly. Come, civilized, five-five bhajans. The video goes on bhajans and then on Śivjī. Now, come for greeting. Okay, only five. Thank you. Adios. Go where you were sitting, and come, five, five, peacefully. Until the last one comes, I will not go. Oh my, poor lucky. From this side, people come. This side. Se strany. These are the parts for those who have not been here yet. But after that, I will do it slowly. Yes, come on. All who were sitting, who were sitting on this side, should come. Hari Om. And who came yesterday need not come again. And who came yesterday need not come again. Seventy years on the, on the what date? It is on the, yeah, the 4th of March. All the best, yes, thank you all. You don’t know discipline, so come. I wanted to tell you that only you can play it. Jaya Gurudeva Parabrahma, you can play it. You still did not understand me. You still did not understand me. Sanjivani, come. I said, listen to me, look. The easiest will be only these people come, then after they will come, then after they will come. Now you all rest there, then I make you here, all rest there. Now there were so many people, but now there are only two remaining. They all rest there. It’s like in Kumbha Melā. Well, So, that’s it. We have today, as I told before, the satsaṅg for Śivarātri. Shiva is the first in the entire universe. And Śiva is the Lord of Yoga. All the sciences come from Śiva. Spirituality, yoga, bandhas, mantras, yantras, tantras—all the spiritual science—it is His manifestation. Now, those who still have not performed Abhiṣeka, they can come and do it. So, for those who have not done it, you should do it. Whatever your wish, repeat it in the heart and make the abhiṣeka. But not a selfish wish. That’s it. So, something spiritual, something good, worldly, don’t. Because Śivjī said, when someone comes and says, “Lord, please, please bless me with a good husband,” and the next one comes and says, “God, please, please help me to get rid of my husband.” So now Shiva is complete. Therefore, these are the little things. It is said, if you are good, then the whole world is good for you. Yesterday, we studied the four Vedas and the six philosophies. And the final essence of their teachings is, “Sukh Dhyān Sukh Hot He, Duk Dhyān Duk Hoi.” If you give someone happiness, you get happiness. And if you give someone trouble, you will get trouble. If you do good helping, then you will automatically get the good help within you. These are sayings by great people in the local languages, which have a great, great meaning. So, as Holī Gurujī said last, I told you yesterday, Sabhī Prāṇī Eka Cāhate—all creatures want one thing: to get happiness and get rid of troubles. And the root in this is, if you are good, then all will be good for you. Now you can’t take prayer back, so he will not help you to get rid of your husband. So go through your karma, karma, not dharma. So little, little things, this will change always. That’s why God does not fulfill our wishes immediately. So similarly, God knows our emotional wounds. He knows one day they will heal. You know, the body doesn’t feel pain. Feel in your soul. When the soul goes out, the body doesn’t feel anything. You can burn it, bury it, or cut it; this body doesn’t feel anything. So the feeling is in that individual, that soul. Happiness, unhappiness, pain, pleasure, all is in that one. So, prayer for the healing of the soul, to help the soul, so that it can proceed to the light. So today is a beautiful day. You have a beautiful opportunity to perform Abhiṣeka. So if you have not done it, you can do it. Tomorrow morning, Abhiṣeka will begin at 5 o’clock. Until we finish our lecture. And then tomorrow evening we will be with Yajña, with the Śiva dance, and Śiva’s Abhiṣeka in Prague. I don’t know if you can come or not, so I have one wish. I am not praying to Śivajī for this wish, but I can ask you to fulfill my wish. Open the windows. Oṁ, tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam, urvārukamiva bandhanān mṛtyormukṣīya māmṛtāt. Oṁ, tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam, urvārukamiva bandhanān mṛtyormukṣīya māmṛtāt. Now distribute the prasāda. Rozdejte prasāda. And who can sing “Oṁ namaḥ śivāya”? Kdo umí zpívat “Oṁ namaḥ śivāya”? Who knows the good melody? Gajānanjī? Anybody? Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya But it’s okay. Okay. Some good news. Salzburg was not here. Nobody is here. From Salzburg. Only Hilde was here. Nobody else. They were not here. So, this is to certify that. So and so. And it is authorized to introduce or instruct others in the matter of yoga in daily life. This certificate authorizes the teaching of the system of Yoga in Daily Life. And that is Miss, who was born on the 7th of March 1983, in the country Hungary. Her name is Kovács Lévia. Jyoti Bindu. It was a hard birth, no? And Danna Jakov, Jakov Stele Kova, Durgā Devī from Haradish, Karlovy. Finally, thank you. All the best. Thank you. And David Hanneberg, Chitrapurī from Prague. We have to put here some more pillows. Everybody hurts here, their head, you know. Here, everybody gets a blessing like that. Okay, so now you can have a half-hour meditation, or a one-hour meditation, as you like. In the morning, from 5:30 till 8 o’clock, or 7:30, you can make abhiṣeka, or meditate. The abhiṣeka will be silent. Okay, after you have breakfast, then I will come. And around 9:30 or 10, and then the program will be about one hour. Thank you. To those who are going tonight, I wish you a good journey. I wish you a happy journey, all the best, and many blessings. Take care, drive slowly. So, from my side, good night. Adiós.
