Agīsāgāsāprabhukāsāprabhukajarita Kīrīsamaramakṛpālusabhānsatasamar Bhagavān Kī Jai Śrī Madhavānandajī Gurudev. Oṁ Śānti Oṁ. Good evening to everybody, dear ones here and with the webcast. Today is Monday, and it is Amāvasyā, the dark moon. This Amāvasyā is more powerful than the full moon and is called Somavatī Amāvasyā. Soma is also a name of Śiva, and Soma is Amṛta, nectar. It is that Soma which is raining. Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa said, "Through the moon, I enter as sweetness into the vegetation as a nectar." These things are very scientific. Great temple called Somnāth, Śiva’s temple, is dedicated to one of the names of Śiva, which is also Somnāth, also called Someshvara. On Amāvasyā, the moon should not be visible at all because it is moving with the sun. Tomorrow it will be a little behind; maybe tomorrow one can see it on some part of the earth. It depends on the location. Tomorrow, we shall all try to look if we can have a darśana of the new moon. If not tomorrow, then it’s the day after tomorrow. That is called the new moon. There is a long, mythical story about the moon, why he became dark and how Śiva blessed him. Also, Śiva promised his son Kārttikeya that on this day, "I will be with you in South India," where Kārttikeya Bhagavān is living. For Gaṇeśa, having the moon darśana is called tumārī bhāgyakulā, meaning it opens your good luck. Sobhagya is good luck. Abhagya is bad luck. Having the first look at the new moon is connected to your Bindu Cakra, the flow of the nectar. It is said the moon is silver, though we see orange light. Silver is the best metal. Best is copper, then silver, then iron, and gold is the last. If you have a constellation in gold, according to astrology, it’s not good. Gold is good for our wealth, material life, but for the soul, this ātmā, this spiritual development, gold represents the Kali Yuga. Gold represents fighting. But still we have gold; sometimes it’s good. It means you don’t throw your golden chains away. You can do it, but in the donation box. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, try what happens. Tell me after: a silver coin or a silver ring. Any tiny piece of silver? After sunset, when it becomes a little darker, that evening dusk, is the moon visible? The new moon, because now the moon is a little back from the sun, and slowly, slowly it will be completely opposite. After the full moon, again it’s decreasing. This is the 27 days, because the moon’s position sometimes can make a 31-day month, and every third year will have 13 months. Astrology does not accept 365 days a year; that’s according to the sun calendar. Astrology, if you want to know exact and good all the constellations, then you have to follow the moon system. The moon doesn’t rise equally every day. The moon is different every day, and the moon is the principle or god of our mind. Māṅkā, devatā, candra. Man means mind, devatā means god, and candra means the moon. The moon will never come out equally every day. Therefore, the mind is cañcala, restless. Because the moon is changing, the mind is changing its mood. The Moon is connected to the emotions. Different kinds of emotions: anger is an emotion, hate is an emotion, love is an emotion, screaming is emotion—all which is out of your control is emotion. Emotions have different forms. Therefore, the mind has two principles, like the moon. From Amāvasyā to Pūrṇimā, from dark moon night to the full moon night, day by day increasing. And from full moon, day by day decreasing. Now, because it is the principle or goddess of the mind, the mind is affected by this. Therefore, the mind has its own dharma. Mind’s dharma is principle. The dharma: saṅkalpa, vikalpa. Saṅkalpa means making some resolution or some thought. You make a saṅkalpa, you decide something, and after some time you again change it, your decision—vikalpa—so that you again deny. Therefore, saṅkalpa vikalpa. We always say, "Oh, I changed my mind, Swāmījī. I wanted to practice āsanas today, but I changed my mind, Swāmījī. I wanted to go swimming." On the way, I changed my mind. I went with my friends into the forest. Mostly, people use this word very much in America and in some other English-speaking countries: "I change my mind." So I tell them, why don’t you change your body? Always "change my mind," because that is invisible. It doesn’t take you a lot of energy, and you are not guilty because it is the moon principle. So, therefore, it is said: man ke māte na chaliye, ghaḷī palaka man or, man lobhī, man lālacī, man cañcala, or man cor, man ke māte na chaliye, ghaḷī palaka man or. This is a beautiful poem. Understand? Man, the cañcala mind is very restless, like a fish in the water. You try to catch it, it goes very cañcala. So, a restless child, you will say, "Oh, it’s very cañcala," means not bad, but it is cañcala, restless. So, mind is cañcala. So, man lobhī, man lālacī: mind is greed. Lālacī means wanting to have more and more, big greed. Lobhī means you want to have more and more. And lālacī means more and more desires. Man lobhī, man lālacī, man cañcala or man cor. Your mind is a thief. How many things do you steal through your mind? Physically, you can’t do it because of the cameras, but you want to steal something. So it can be anything. Always in the mind, you are stealing. Man lobhī, man lālacī, man cañcala, man cor. Man ke māte na chaliye: don’t follow your mind. Don’t surrender to your mind. Why? Every hour and every minute or second, the mind is different. So whatever desire, whatever decision, whatever thoughts come to your mind, don’t take action immediately. Wait. Otherwise, you will be sorry. You know, there was one man called Mr. Einstein. Someone wrote him a letter and asked him to answer. So he read the letter. He was sitting in the garden, so he went to his writing table and began to answer the letter. It was a few pages he was writing. At the end, after he signed the letter, he wrote, "P.S., dear friend, sorry to write you such a long letter because I did not have time." What does it mean? He had no time to overthink, exactly. Therefore, those who are in hurry-hurry, in nervousness, answering quickly to your SMS—I’m sure 90% of you are always sorry that you did it in a hurry. It must not be that in every second minute you answer back. If there’s only, "Hello friend, how are you?" "Thank you, I’m very good." That’s okay. Nowadays, SMS and emails became a big problem. Otherwise, you got a post, and in the evening you came home. You checked your post box, and you said, "Okay, I will read it tomorrow." You opened the letter. You read the letter. And then you went to the post office to get a stamp. And you took the time to write the letter, and you read what I wanted to write. "What is the question, dear Mr. Director? You are the most terrible person in our company. You should stop, otherwise we all will go on strike. Your behavior is not human. We are not animals. On behalf of all staff." But who? Now, what should he write? To whom should one write? He should think, "Calm down and know what to answer." Similarly, the mind... the mind... the mind... So that’s the mind. So, emotion. You are in such a motion that you can’t control these waves of the high motions. So we are in the motion, emotion. Mahāprabhujī said: Don’t dive to search for pearls when the waves are too high. It means when you are in any kind of emotion, don’t make any decision. Otherwise, you will be sorry. That is the effect of the moon, and it has both a positive and a negative side. The sun has also. We will talk about the sun after. So this is Somavatī Amāvasyā. This Amāvasyā is directly connected to Śiva. Though it is Amṛta, it has more nectar coming. So bless you all, and tomorrow we will look in the sky. What time is visible? But you know, sometimes luck has bad luck. We are waiting, and suddenly one cloud comes. So we can’t see. So if not tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow is definitely, and that is the best day. So the moon was punished, and the moon became dark, and there was no more light in him. Prāṇa? He has no prāṇa. A saint under the water was Śiva, who came because he prayed. And Śiva removed his sin slowly, slowly, and Śiva said, "The moon, because of always being like a full moon, you had your ego. So, to take away your ego, I will give you always changing, a change of position." Change of mood, but your every position and form will have great effect on Earth, on nature, and we are not separate from nature. So all is moon. The moon has sixteen colors, and that’s why the sixteen siddhis are Purāṇa Puruṣas. Kṛṣṇa had sixteen siddhis. Out of twenty-four siddhis, there are sixteen siddhis. Holī Gurujī describes in Līlā Amṛta these sixteen siddhis Mahāprabhujī had. We all have some siddhis out of the sixteen siddhis, or maybe more. Out of it, we have a siddhi for good eating, we have a siddhi for good sleeping. We like yoga nidrā, but we do have a siddhi: our talent, our knowledge. Many abilities you have, many different. This is also a siddhi, that’s it, that you can create something out of nothing. This is also the siddhis. Those who have siddhi, more siddhis, are called siddha. When you have this siddha, that inner awakening siddhis, then it is Samrāṭha, which means capable. Who has the siddhis? Who is above this? Nirdoṣa, you cannot blame. Gosvāmī Tulasīdāsa said that Lord said, such persons, whether male or female, when you have these siddhis above this, whatever you do, you are out of this māyā’s play. So when you will have this silver coin, or ring, or some medallion, anything but out of silver, you look to the moon, and you can say a mantra. Best is: Oṁ Tryambakaṁ Yajāmahe Sugandhiṁ Puṣṭi Vardhanam, Urvārukamiva Bandhanān Mṛtyor Mukṣīya Mā’mṛtāt. And directly from the moon, you look to the silver. It should be in your palm. That fortune, and the happiness which comes through it, is in your hands. Now it is given into your hands. Keep with you one silver coin. Or have always a silver ring, that’s okay. Beautiful. Don’t look to the gold. No, no iron, no gold. No other metals. After looking, then Gurudev’s darśana. And if you have nothing, then look there and look to your palms. You will be surprised: always you had, and today you don’t have. You will have vision of that in your hand if really you do so. We look to the moon, then we look to our palms, and we put it like this. This will be tomorrow or day after tomorrow. Best is day after tomorrow. But sometimes, because summer and winter are different, the sun moves differently. It can be tomorrow, so it doesn’t matter. After Amāvasyā, the first Candra Darśana. In that is a prakāśa, ātmaprakāśa, immense light, that is both sun and moon; it is the sun’s reflection on the moon. So we are the moon, and God is the sun. His reflection is our ātmā inside. That Prakāś Puñja Amṛta Kī Śāgara. That is a Prakāś Puñja. It means endless, Amṛta Kī Śāgara. Not Amṛta drops. Our Bindu Cakra is giving very little Amṛta. A little less than fog. What is a fog? It’s a drop of water. So half of this or a quarter of this is in our Bindu Cakra. But that, if we can utilize it, is more than enough. You know, if you are very thirsty, you may need two glasses of water, and when an ant is very thirsty, how much water does that ant need? You put a drop anywhere under some sand, and for as long as the seed leaks, the weight of the stone or the sand is enough. So according to this sun system, we are not even visible with a microscope. Our entire solar system is surrounded by nine planets, and then come mountains, and then elephants. Where are we? But Mother Nature made a wonderful construction. They gave all the systems to it, tiny creature. The tiny ant, she has a desire, she has a hunger, she is angry. She is jealous. What is that? All qualities are there, because that is not a quantity, that’s a quality. So even a little reflection of that, a little touch of that, is enough to change your destiny, good direction, bad direction. But practice your kriyās faithfully and don’t stop. Don’t use the wrong way. Then siddhis are coming. You become samrāṭha. So there is one bhajan from Mahāprabhujī. I have forgotten the first line. I will remember it. So, there is a bhajan of Bhagavān Śrī Jītnārāyaṇa and Mahāprabhujī written by Holī Gurujī. What a disciple had the realization of the Master. How you see your Master. That is the awakening and realization of the disciple. Mahāprabhujī didn’t say, "Write like this about me." This bhajan was written by my holy Gurujī, I think in 1994 or ’95, and Mahāprabhujī went to Brahmaloka in 1963. But if one can have realization of the Gurudeva, many rare, we will see, very rare, that was a holy Gurujī. Or someone who wrote this mantra, bhajan: Milta hai sacca sukha, Gurudev, tumhare śaraṇam. And what did he say? Gurudev, aap kī sūrat se, what can be different face of the God which I never saw? Where will be use of that face for me? Therefore, I know that you are the means of light and ocean of the nectar. Bhajans and such a brahmajñāna bhajan only can awake who can write. Anāhata Cakra is fully developed. Bindu of the Viśuddhi Cakra, the Sarasvatī Mother, is blessed by her, and this can only be fulfilled by the Brahmajñānī. Others cannot. Others will, even when they hear this, have a doubt. Okay, let’s talk, Swāmījī. Let’s talk. Whatever he talks, he makes it very tasteful. He gives more masala. Okay, at least like that, because they are the spoon in the honey; they cannot taste the honey. You know, but it has three things: the bottle, who’s holding the honey, honey itself, and the spoon inside, all have their meaning. So what are you? Are you a bottle, or honey, or a spoon? And we will talk about this tomorrow. Without a spoon, you can’t take out. Or that finger. We will come to it tomorrow. Guru Deva said, "Bhagavān Mahāprabhujī, Hari means Viṣṇu." Where Hari is Viṣṇu. Where Har is Śiva. Hari Har Brahma Satguru Seva. Hari Har. So I pray to both, Viṣṇu and Śiva. So, Holī Gurujī writes that Mahāprabhujī was an incarnation of Viṣṇu. Write, read the Līlā Amṛta again and again. I can tell you that though I didn’t see Mahāprabhujī in physical form, any of my wishes he will fulfill. And he is a great, great protector. And even one day Gurujī told me that always Mahāprabhujī has me with him. Mahāprabhujī mā mne sebou. There is in a bhajan it is said that the Sada Rakṣe Mahāprabhujī Rakṣe Saṅgha. What was that bhajan? Jog Jog Jyomesha Nanda. So this is, I can tell you, that there was nothing which Mahāprabhujī could not fulfill. You could have all kinds of your darśana and fulfill all your wishes. Give the blind person eyes. He couldn’t hear, so give him ears. Couldn’t speak, spoke. And who never read ABC and never could read, one lady from Gendry village, and she said to Mahāprabhujī, "Unfortunately, I had no opportunity to go to school because, last those times, British regime and Mughals regime, there was no access for the girls in the schools." And then, during the British regime, there were no schools in the villages. Only in big cities and rich people’s children could go. So she asked Mahāprabhujī, "Mahāprabhujī, it’s a pity." So Mahāprabhujī said, "What do you mean?" "I was not in a school; I didn’t study anything." Mahāprabhujī was sitting. "What would you have done if you had studied?" "I would like to read and sing your bhajans in your book. That’s all." "Here is my book, Padvirīṇī. Read and sing." She said, "Please, Mahāprabhujī, don’t make a joke for me." He said, "I never do the jokes. My daughter, read. And sing." She opened the book. And she could read and sing. This is in Līlā Amṛta. But she could only read the books of Mahāprabhujī, yes, really. I think she is still living, or their children are living. They speak also about that, so Mahāprabhujī’s dātā. Mahāprabhujī’s dātā—dātā means giver, not data in the computer. So Gurudeva says, "Dīpa Hari Mahādānī, Dīpa Hari Mahādānī." Mahādānī means great. Dhānī means one who is giving, a giver. He could give endlessly, and we, there is some needy person sitting on the street and asking for some money, we take out of our pocket, our pocket money, open the pocket and look where there’s a small coin. We give the coin and go. The Mahādānī will not do like that. He’ll take and give all. Because in his kingdom, there is no limited money. Limitless. In his kingdom, all is pūrṇa. There is one lady, I know her very well. In some countries, I don’t want to tell the name. Her husband left her, and she has children and grandchildren. She was a great bhakta of Kṛṣṇa, and now she’s got a mantra for the last nearly 20 years. And of course, anyone who calls me "my disciple"—you are not my disciple; you are my brother, sister, or friend. Because I am myself a disciple, I never tell my disciples, "Keep my photo and meditate on me. Keep me on your altar and make darśana every day to me." I never say this to anyone. Even I don’t allow my photo here in the altar. Gurudeva is there, my dear. We are all disciples. So, all my disciples, I guide towards Mahāprabhujī, Devapurījī, Gurujī. She had a little problem: money problem, and she went to one restaurant where there is one box where you put money in, press the button, and some money comes out. I don’t know what it is. What do you call that thing? What is that? I don’t know. Not jackpot. If you go there and put money, something that if you are lucky, you get money. So anyhow, she went there and she said to Devapurījī, "You give me money, or I will go back to Kṛṣṇa." And she said, "They will put it in Omaha." And she put in one coin. And she said, "I need to pay my electric bills and everything that I need, $1,800, but if you can give me $1,500, I have nothing against it." Yes, and she put in, and it came to $2,500. She went home. And after ten days, again she went, and she said, "Devapurījī, I have a problem. I think it was coincidentally. Money came out. Not, 'You give me.' If you give, then give me again," and it came to 2,500. She went to her friends, and she told her lady friend, "I tell you, you should go to Swāmījī and get the mantra. Then you will have no money problem." And she said, "What do you mean? Devapurījī is powerful. He can give. You can go and take money from him." "It’s not unofficial. This is where you put money in and press the button. If you are lucky, you get something. And I asked, 'Do you put it exactly in the amount?' and he gave me more. Not once, twice." She said, "No, I know Swamiji. Yes, he is a very good guru. I don’t think it can happen like this." She said, "Come with me." And they both went, and she said, "Devapurījī, I want today only 11,100." She’s very honest, and 11,100 came. And she said, "Now you do it." She said, "Okay, I need 500." And she put in 500 and came. Further, they didn’t tell me anything, so this was told by some of my disciples. He told me that, "Swāmījī, what are your disciples doing?" I said, "Well, if she needs, why not? But does the owner know about this? The owner of the machine." Tell her to be careful. He will not let her come in again. So pure heart, pure consciousness, and really pure need, God fulfills everything. Devapurījī said, "Gurudeva takes upon himself the destiny of the devotees." Gurujī said in 1994, I think, or ’93, that time was still no webcast technology, and Gurujī said, "In the whole world, the glory of Mahāprabhujī is resonating." And he said, "In the whole world..." The glory of Mahāprabhujī resonates. It doesn’t matter how. But how did he know that time? That’s called Trikāla Darśī Gurudeva. Guru Vākya will ever be truthful. It will come true, and you see in the whole world the glory of Mahāprabhujī is rejuvenating. We will translate more tomorrow. I wish you all the best. And there is also coming Mahāprabhujī, Holy Gurujī, write about this: Kī antarkī āke chule. Kan kan me he prakāśa prabhukā. In every corn of the sand, in every atom, is the light of God, Mahāprabhujī. This only a Brahmajñānī can know. Only a Brahmajñānī knows that, yes, it is true. If your inner eye will open, the eye in the heart, then you will get the place of immortality. That’s it. So we will translate tomorrow. Tomorrow we will translate. Class will be, my dear ones, all at 10:30, 10:30 a.m. according to the time of the Czech Republic. And place called Střílky. You should look at the weather in the forecast for the exact time. The subtlety that is present is the center of the universe. When this drop will fall, Amṛta, first, it will fall here, where we will be standing like this. Dīpa Nanda Bhagavad Gītā. Devī Svara Mahādeva. Mādhava Kṛṣṇa, Bhagavad Gītā. I don’t know. He said, "Hold on." He said.
