We now have something beautiful—the essence of our program. A beautiful theatrical offering in honor of Lord Kṛṣṇa, on the occasion of his appearance day. Since he was born at midnight, yesterday was a day of fasting and today we celebrate. There is a beautiful swing hung by a string. Everyone, give a swing to Kṛṣṇa, just as a mother rocks her baby in a cradle. I think you no longer have cradles. You have the baby car, the four-wheel baby carriage. Many people, especially pediatricians, say it is not good for the baby to face forward in the carriage. The children get certain visions, looking here and there, and sometimes become afraid, leading to psychological issues. They say it is better if the baby in the carriage is looking at the mother. Others argue that if something happens, the baby could fall on its head. We cannot please everyone. A mother should know what she is doing, and a father should know too. But there is another problem. There is a tradition from the Far East, especially for mothers working in the fields. They use a cloth to tie the baby close to their chest. But now people often do this without proper knowledge, and sometimes the baby cannot breathe or get proper oxygen. You did not learn properly how those women in those countries do it. You can imitate, but use more common sense. Often, the baby’s nose is pressed against the mother, with everything tied tightly between the breasts, and the face is covered. This is not good for children. If you do not know, ask your doctors. Ask some of your great-grandfathers; they have more knowledge. When the child is positioned like that, it does not see the light or the mother’s body or face. The sweat from the mother’s body is also unhealthy. We can do it, but we must do it properly, ensuring the face and nose are free. A small child turned like this can have breathing problems. I am a father, not a mother, so I cannot tell you everything. You must ask experts. Do not just read in some papers and say, "Oh, they put the children closer to the mother’s heart." There was a case someone told me about, in Russia or somewhere nearby. A mother went for a walk in the forest with her child in this carrying style. It was very cold, so she put a blanket and coat over them. The baby was crying and crying. When she returned home, she said, "My child is ill. Why are you crying?" The doctor said it was because the child could not breathe. So please, take care of such things. Now, let us talk about the juniors. Please welcome them. Hari Om. A nice evening to all. We were thinking about how to make Lord Kṛṣṇa happy, what to give him for his birthday. Not only the children, but we adults are also on the path, and we feel happy here. But there are obstacles on the way, so we prepared a story with the children. The children thought of it themselves, and we would like to say the same thing as Mahāprabhujī says: if you set out on a journey, do not be distracted by obstacles halfway. The obstacles are the thorns on the roses. There are no roses without thorns, and there are no paths without obstacles. Just overcome them and continue. In a faraway country where the sun shines all year, where raindrops are welcomed as the dearest guests... Facing the other side. Or half this side and half this side, here. Good, good. There, there. That side, that side, come. Look at the camera. There were some people living in richness, and others who did not even have a roof over their heads. In one of the poorest families in the village of Tamu, Mohan and Maya were born. In a village called Tamu, Mohan and Maya were born into a poor family. They had a beautiful childhood. The people of Tamu were used to tourists, who often passed by their provisional homes, taking photos with their cameras. They rewarded the children for the photos with sweets or coins. A young couple, Angelika and Roman, went to Tamu nearly every day. They brought food and gifts to the poor children. It is easy to get used to good things. Most children accepted the gifts very naturally, sometimes even forgetting to say thank you. But Mohan and Maya were truly grateful. They always prepared something nice for Roman and Angelika. When Roman and Angelika were about to return to their home country, they wanted to do something good. Before leaving, they offered to sponsor the school education for both Mohan and Maya. It was almost certain that otherwise, Mohan and Maya would never get to go to school. School used to be only for rich children. Mohan and Maya were very happy to be able to attend. C, Gaṅgā, D, Sunchana, Sarita, Hanumān. They studied hard, and after two years, they were so good that they could exchange letters with Angelika and Roman. They wrote to each other nearly every week about everything they were experiencing. Then, to their happiness, a cruel day suddenly came. An earthquake struck Tamu, and most of the people died. "Come with me, I will help you, and I’ll take care of you." Mohan and Maya lost both parents and all their relatives. They survived only because they were on their way to school when the earthquake hit. They were only slightly injured and could stay for a few days in the ruins of the school. Life is sometimes not easy. The only hope and certainty is God, whom we can ask for help anytime. Like this, half this side and half this side. No, no. Next, half standing here, looking this side. Half standing there, looking this side. Good, you can do here. Up, all right. Do not let yourself be stopped by problems. The river of life flows with both happiness and sadness. Whoever loses strength in sadness will never reach their goal. Do not lose your faith and continue with your duties. The sad message also reached Roman and Angelika. They decided to adopt Mohan and Maya. So it happened that after weeks, Roman, Mohan, and Maya were at the airport in a big city. The children bid farewell to their home country, and the airplane took them to the unknown. On the other side of the world, at the Czech airport, Angelika was waiting for them. The children really liked the new flat. Maya was surprised to have such a big, nicely equipped room all to herself. She looked at the toys; she had never seen such toys in her life. She also liked the bedding with stars and the pink pajamas she found under the pillow. Angelika was happy that Maya was entertained. They also looked through the wardrobe at the dresses Angelika had bought for her, and Maya tried some on. Roman paid attention to Mohan. He showed him his room, the computer, football, and new sportswear. In the evening, Angelika sat next to Maya’s bed long after she fell asleep. She was looking at the child for the first time with a mother’s eyes, stroking her hair gently in the way only a mother can. She did not know that Maya was dreaming of her home country. When Maya woke up in her nice room and saw Angelika preparing breakfast for her, pochopila, she understood how difficult it would be to get used to the new environment. It was unacceptable to accept her as her mother. She swore to herself that she would never, ever exchange this lady for her mom. The beautiful toys suddenly seemed uninteresting and strange, like everything else here. Všechno kromě, everything except for... Suddenly she smiled. Její první slova po probuzení byla, "Her first words after waking were, 'I will take you to him.'" It was the first time in their lives that they realized how much they liked each other. Live in harmony with your brothers, sisters, and all your relatives. After breakfast, Roman and Angelika told the children they needed to quickly get dressed and go to the city. Mohan was ready soon and was very happy with his new clothes. "Don’t you want to dress up? Do you want to take something else? You will surprise us with what you choose." And it was truly a surprise. She took the same clothes she was wearing when they arrived. Počkej, "Oh, I’m so happy you chose such nice clothes. I’m happy to have such a nice princess at home." When they all returned, Mohan and Maya wanted to go out for a while. "Can we go out?" "No, no, that’s good, that’s fine." "Hello, come play with us." "They can’t speak Czech?" "But it doesn’t matter, come." "Look, a dog!" Mohan could not sleep and was thinking about everything he experienced that day. He remembered the children he played with and also his dog friend. The dog was whining outside, and Mohan decided to save him. With his good behavior, willingness to help, and prayer, he managed to persuade his parents to keep the dog. Be good to all people. Help others; by helping others, you help yourself. I, Maya, was happy. Maya was happy as well. One morning, Maya had a fever. It was just a cold, nothing serious. Despite this, Angelika sat next to Maya’s bed the whole night. "How is the girl feeling? So, how is she?" "I was sitting next to her the whole night. She must have had a high fever. I love her so much." Maya recovered soon. The sadness was taken away by time, as the children found many friends, kteří je mnohé naučili, who taught them many things. Mohan and Maya, in exchange, taught the children how to practice yoga in daily life. Děkujeme, děti. That was really good. Everyone should come in line. And take one, one. And each of you take one.

Children are the culture of tomorrow, the light of spirituality. In whichever direction children go, in that direction will the nation go. How children lead their lives, so will the nation be led. Therefore, children need beautiful, natural education. Ethics and spirituality should be the subjects of their lives. So thank you. And thank you, all of you, for showing interest and giving motivation to our children. They were all sitting and listening to our satsaṅg. So, thank you for watching their program. This evening is more or less a farewell. We have another video to show you. Time is passing; it is already a quarter to nine. So to all our dear brothers, sisters, friends, and those with us via webcast, we wish you all the best. We will announce when the next gathering will be. Thank you, and God bless you.
