Very good evening to everybody. How are you? Good. You are multiplying; nice to see you. The day was good. Swimming was good. Someone said that the whole sea is smelling from agarbattis and some perfume, yogic perfumes. Even the fish come closer. That’s your energy. Thank you. Well, every day I’m promising you to translate that particular bhajan, and again, something new comes in the inspiration. So, at the very beginning of the evening, we spoke about one bhajan which was written by one poet in Udaipur. It’s a famous place in Rajasthan, very historical, beautiful, surrounded by hills, like here, a little more green than here. It’s called the City of Lakes. Gurujī was residing sometimes in Udaipur. Gurujī had many satsaṅgs, many, many bhaktas. You read in Līlā Amṛt about the king from Udaipur. His uncle or relative was kind of an atheist, and he didn’t like any spiritual gatherings. If he saw any sādhus or priests, or any, he was very allergic. He was a very nasty person. Well, he had the power of being a brother or uncle of the king. One day, someone told Gurujī about him. Gurujī had a satsaṅg somewhere, and people invited him. So he came and he was listening a little bit, and then it was not good. And Gurujī gave the satsaṅg, and he changed. He changed in such a way that he said, "Gurujī, please, tomorrow you should have lunch at my palace." People were telling Gurujī, "Don’t go there. You never know what he can do." Gurujī said, "Yes, no problem. Thank you for the invitation, but I can’t come to your palace because there are a lot of chickens killed, a lot of pigs killed, alcohol and meats. Your palace is not pure." And people said, "Swāmījī, don’t tell such things. He’s a wild and mad elephant, or a tiger." Gurujī said, "Doesn’t matter." Well, he silently went home. And when he came home, he told his people who were working under him, "I want tonight all pigs, all chickens, goats, all should be sent away from my palace, and begin to make whitewash, bring the gargantuan bottle, and purify. Tomorrow lunchtime, Gurujī is coming." And people thought, "What happened to him? What happened?" Yes, Gurujī went, and the ladies were so happy because they were spiritual, but he didn’t let them do any pūjā, any sādhanā. And now he said, "Gurujī, I... I want to become your disciple, please give me a mantra." Gurujī said two things. First, "I cannot give you mantra; my Gurudev is alive, Mahāprabhujī. You should go to him, and he will give you mantra. Second, you consume alcohol and meats and all this. You cannot get mantras." He said, "Is it from today onwards? I told you that nothing will be in this house. And in this body, there will never go any more dead bodies, meat. And no alcohol." Gurujī said, "Yes, very nice. You are very great and brave, but Mahāprabhujī is our Gurudev." So Gurujī told him a lot about Mahāprabhujī. One day, what happens? He was coming from his farmhouse, and there are seasonal rivers or creeks because he lives in the mountains. So heavy rain came, and the river was flowing, and he drove in. Now it seems that it will draw away his car and himself both, his jeep. So, in the middle of that river, he said, "Mahāprabhujī, if you can’t protect me from this small river, how should I believe that you will let me cross the ocean of ignorance, māyā? Let me cross safely, then I will believe." These are the words of that person. You have it in your Līlā Amṛt. He said suddenly, like some crane is pulling his jeep out of the water. Nothing happened, so he came and he told Gurujī. Directly he went to Gurujī, and he said, "Gurujī, this and this happened to me. I want to see Mahāprabhujī." So Gurujī gave him the address. "You can go." When he came there, Mahāprabhujī said, "You have so small faith? What do you mean? For this little creek, for that you took so much trouble to prayer?" So he became a great bhakta. Read Līlā Amṛt. So there was one poet, and he also went and became a disciple of Mahāprabhujī. When he saw Mahāprabhujī, he was a great poet, a great writer; he could write a poem immediately. So, he wrote this poem. Very nice. So, I promise you to translate, and every time something different comes. So, he came to Gurujī and he greeted Gurujī, and he told about Mahāprabhujī, and then he said, "If you allow me, I would like to read or sing one bhajan." Gurujī said, "Of course, who would be the unlucky who don’t want to listen to bhajans?" Bhajan is a nectar, immortality. Our life is for bhajana, for listening to good things. Now, what I’m telling you is not a fairy tale. It happened in the middle of the last century. And some people are still alive. And you know, Devpurījī, who gave life to many people who had already died. One of them was living in Kelāś Āśram, here in the village. He died in the morning, at ten o’clock. And they brought him in the afternoon, four o’clock in the Ashram, the small child. According to medical science, after one or two minutes, the brain is damaged. But it is said, "Impossible can make possible," Gurudev. And what is happening? He can remove it. And that’s our Gurudev. You and me, we are small disciples. We are all bhaktas. What I am teaching, what I am doing, is only in His name. Devpurījīvo, Mahāprabhujīvo, Holy Gurujīvo. The experiences of my life, you will not believe how beautiful and how it is. I hope one day I will dictate something, so you can also know a little bit about it. And Devpurījī gave him life. He grew. He got a service in the military, Indian army, and there was twice war between Pakistan and India. He fought that war, he retired, has children, happily living in that village. Many, many of you know him, and even we made a video of him telling, from his own mouth, what happened. And I was lucky enough to see his mother also. She was such a great person. Very humble, very devoted, very great. It is a blessing to see elderly people. I always tell, when you have any problem, go and talk with elderly people. Your grandmother, grand grandmother, people above 65, 70, 80, 90, they will give you good advice and knowledge. To see the elderly people, see the parents, it is like you are in holy pilgrimages. That’s called darśan, the blessings. Blessed are they who can enjoy a long time, a long life, with their parents. Don’t ask your parents for anything. Only blessings, and parents cannot give anything except blessings. Well, unfortunately, that man passed away just one day before Devpurījī’s Mahāsamādhi day. He had a little problem, a health problem. They took him to the hospital in Jaipur. And he heard that I am coming to Kelāś Āśram in two days, so he told his son, "Bring the barber. I must shave, and I must go because Swāmijī is coming." He said, "The doctor doesn’t allow." He said, "My doctors are Mahāprabhujī, Devapurījī, Mahāprabhujī. I have to go to Swāmijī." And unfortunately, that night he passed away. Who is born has to go. It doesn’t matter who is who. We all have to pass through one door. There is no separate door. Not a separate door for this religion or that religion or animals. All have to enter through one door that’s called death. After, your destiny will guide you. Your destiny will escort you this way or that way. So, he is saying that man from Udaipur came to Gurujī, and Gurujī said, "How are you? How was Gurujī? Did you give my praṇām to him?" And he sang a bhajan to Gurujī. It is his words, his bhajans. I am only translating. I am only a messenger. I always say to you, I am the postman. I just bring you the post. Read, understand, and act as you like. It is his blessings. The poet, his name was Uday Rām. Uday means dawn. When the sun rises, Śrī Uday Ho Gayā, the sun has risen. Or other meaning, Uday? Yes, now your good luck has awakened, and we call it Bhagya Uday, good luck. So Uday says: Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī is an incarnation of Īśvara. Jag jīv jinke nām se hot sadā bhava parhe. All jīvas, creatures in this world, can cross the ocean of ignorance through his mercy. Jag jīva jinki nām se hot sadā bhāva parhe. Mil jaye sadgati guru charan rajat, those who put the holy dust of Gurudeva’s feet on their head. Sadgati. Sadgati means after death, you come to the Satyaloka. Through his kṛpā, his mercy, he brought with him two handfuls of the sand where Mahāprabhujī walked, which he collected and brought. And he gave to Gurujī also. When your inner eyes, when the petal of your heart is opening, then called Divya Dṛṣṭi opens in you the divine visions. That time we understand what it is. Otherwise, not rare are they who have awakened the inner visions, like Holī Gurujī said. Śrī Dīpa Nirañjana Sabaduka Bhañjana Prabhu Dīpa Nirañjana Isi Mantrase Hove Mana Mañjana Isi Mantrase hove manna mañjana siddhi panirajana sādhva dukkha vañjana pravdhi panirajana sādhva dukkha vañjana After this, said in one, this bhajan: "Nakantoga recha nuvam bhajanu hirdhe kamalaki aakhe kula jave yadayaka malakiyake kula jave śrī-dīpa nirañjana sabadukha bhañjana." Prabhu Deepa Niranjana Sabaduka Vajana, Prabhupada, Niranjana, Sabha, Dukha, Vajana, Deep Dharam, Bhagwan, Jai. Hirde kamal ki āṅkhey khul jāvey. Hirde means heart. Kamal means lotus. Our heart is like a lotus. Hṛde kamal kī ānkh, the eye of the heart, opens. As long as we are here, we are intellectually on the surface, but when we come from here to here, then we are with ourself. Love is in the heart, so don’t decide only from the brain. Before deciding, you should come from here to down. Use your heart. You will understand others. Otherwise, you are without heart. It’s not good. If you practice this mantra, "Deep Niranjan Sabduk Banjan," then this eye of mercy opens. Anjan means ointment. Who puts every day in the eye this ointment? Then you have good vision. So the ointment of God’s name, this mantra in the heart, with the heart opens Divya Cakṣu. Whose heart, Anāhata Cakra, is awakened becomes the poet, becomes the artist, becomes a good writer. It comes from the Anāhata Cakra, and who just turns towards the brain, then it looks beautiful, apple. Shining apple, but it is plastic, not the real apple. This love, this kind of apple, you find as your father and mother. Whatever they tell you, even if they are angry, they tell you with love. Understand their words, their blessing, their love. So, mil jaye sadgati guru chara raja jo sada mastak dhare, they come to liberation. Guru kī anubam kripāse sadbhaktake karadusare. By the mercy, the blessing of the Gurudeva, bhaktas will be always successful. Do it on his name. What we say, let’s begin with the name of God. In God’s name. We do on God’s name. Don’t say, "Let’s now begin on my name. This is our building." On your name, you will not be successful. God is there, everywhere. Every culture, every religion, even those whom we call atheists, they are not without God. They believe, but in a different form. They are very kind people. They are very helpful people. And they are ready to give everything. Only they don’t believe how you believe. Who are we to judge someone? We cannot judge someone for what is in their heart and what is in their brain. I’m sitting here with an orange cloth. I will love you only if you have all orange cloth. Why? Must not be the orange cloth. It can be the green. Yellow is your choice. Color doesn’t decide. The decision is inside, how are you? Only looking to the fruit, you don’t know the taste. You have to eat to know the taste. Gurū kī anupam kṛpā se, here is written "śakti," this is wrong. The bhaktas can be successful in their work. Page number 38 in your bhajan book. It’s good that we can make a correction. So, in all books, please make corrections. First listen, then do after. So, how to get the mercy of Gurudeva? Always repeat your mantra, the name of Gurudeva. "Guru kṛpā tu pāvahī," then you will get Guru kṛpā. As was said before, "Guru kī anukampā kṛpā se." How to get this anuvam kripa? Like through the Śiva. What will happen when you have this kṛpā? Jise terī jagat kī vikaṭ saṅkaṭ nikaṭ nahī̃ āvahī. Through that mercy of God, this worldly trouble, sorrows, will not touch you. They will not touch your heart inside. You will always be blissful and happy. It happens, many things happen in this world, good and bad, but if we are touched by that... Then we will be whole day in depression. All day we will cry. It is said you can cry whole day, but you are not forced to cry. So therefore, inside you have ānanda, like a mantra: Ānando’ham, Ānando’ham, Ānandam Brahmāṇḍa Om Sacchidānanda. Oṁ Saccidānanda Oṁ Saccidānanda Oṁ Saccidānanda Oṁ Saccidānanda ... Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya... Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya... Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya... Om Namah Śivāya. Om Namah Śivāya. Om Namah... Śivāya. Om Namah Śivāya. Om Namah Śivāya. Om... Namah Śivāya. Om Namah Śivāya. Om Namah Śivāya... Om Namah Śivāya. Om Namah Śivāya. ... He is the Prabhu. Prabhu is that who appears, who comes on this Bhūmaṇḍal, on this earth, to protect and save the Bhaktas. He is the writer of the destiny of this world. He is Vidhātā. Vidhi kā varṇan. Vidhi. Vidhi ko jānanēvālā koī nahīṁ. Only Gurudev knows. Our destiny. Jagadīś ke avatār. Sṛjan. He is the incarnation of Jagadīś. Jag means the saṁsāra, this world. Ishvara, Ishvara of this saṁsāra, Lord of this saṁsāra, all the creatures, Jagadīśa ke avatār, sarjan hārā, unko jānato. He is the creator. Creator, not a doctor who is making surgery. In English, we say surgeon, isn’t it? Doctor. But he is the Ekohaṁ Bahusyām. "I am one and multiply myself." So he is the creator, and we are his creation. Sadguru Kripa says, "Kāma, krodha, or lobha nikaṭa nahī̃ āvahī." By the grace of the Gurudeva, all this—kāma, krodha, lobha—they all will not attack you. All these negative qualities: kāma, desires, passion; krodha, anger; lobha, greed, etc. Jag mo maya, jag mo maya, the illusion of this world, guru kṛpāse nikata nahi āhī. By the grace of the Gurudeva, it will not attack you. Dhur nityahi revahi, always will be away. Guru kī manohar mūrti manme sadā dhāraṇ kare. The beautiful idol of Gurudeva you should always have in your mind, in your heart, in meditation. The mantra says, "Meditate on what?" On the embodiment of Gurudeva: Devpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, Holī Gurujī. If you meditate on me, you can do it. But all the times you will see me talking, talking, giving lecture. You say, "Gurudeva, but I want to meditate." Therefore, the best is to... Gurudeva is that one. Accept in your mind, in your heart. That will never be caught by this māyā of this saṃsāra. In the net of the māyā. There are many ladies whose name is Māyā in your country. So please don’t misunderstand, I don’t mean you. Because this is a language. Sadgurū kṛpāhi aṅk vidhnā kī mitāvan harā hai. Wah! He said very nice. Sadgurū kṛpāsi aṅk vidhnā kī mitāvan harā hai. Gurudev’s mercy is capable of deleting your destiny. Press one button of Guru Kṛpā, Milosti Gurudeva. He said, not me. I tell you once more again, Swāmījī is speaking. I am just reading the letter which you got in your post box. You can translate by anyone. And on whom gurudev will bestow his blessing, he is liberated. So always we pray for his mercy. You know, you go into the church, the Church of the Holy Mother Maria. You said, "Holy Mother Maria, beg for your mercy. O merciful Mother Maria, we ask him for mercy. We ask God for the mercy." But that is the kṛpā, the compassion in the heart. Why is she a merciful? Why is he merciful, though they had so many troubles? Even her son was crucified. He was crucified, but he or she didn’t give up their mercy to all of us. Don’t you understand their mercy? Who are you to give arguments? Just pray for the mercy; you will get it. With argument, you don’t get anything. You go as empty as you came. So when you go to the church, go with an open heart. Open heart. Your heart becomes a golden heart. What we call the holy heart. The milk of the tiger can only be preserved in the golden pot. So, the mercy of God doesn’t matter who is that: Rāma, Kṛṣṇa, Jesus, Mother Mary, Mahāprabhujī, Devapurījī. In that heart remains that life, otherwise I told and you heard, that’s all. But here also, with concentration, someone told me one small poem. There was an old oak. On that old oak was sitting one bird. That bird more heard and less spoke. Wasn’t it a wise bird on that oak? That one is a successful one whom Gurudev’s kṛpā goes. And the kṛpā you cannot get through money. You can tell, "I give you twenty million liras, twenty millions. Gurudev, bless me, give me kripa." You can’t get. That’s a beautiful story. I will tell you perhaps tomorrow how to get kripa. So, not with power, not with money. Not with force, even if he would like to give, he can’t. Su-patra, that uttam śiṣya, uttam jijñāsu, jahaṁ the vessel is clean, then we can fill something. So we should try to be good devotees of God. I don’t tell you which God. Everyone has God in their heart, and they believe. This is a problem in the world, that we talk your God and my God and their God. This is in the human mind, disturbances and dualities. Guru Charal Dhokar Piyai To Kali Nikat Nahi Avahi. Who drinks the holy water of Gurudeva’s feet. The car, the death, Yama will not come near. Uday Guru Kī Jyoti Nithahī Uday Kī Pragatāyagī. The Uday who wrote this poem, he said, "In my heart, always the light of Gurudeva will be." He told Holī Gurujī, "This I got." That he sang this bhajana. Holy water? I was surprised when I entered the church. There is some pot or stone where the holy water is inside. And what are you doing with this water? I was only looking. I thought it was for the birds to drink. But then I heard someone say, "No, no, it’s holy water. All take it." Make on the head. This is the Sanātana Dharma, Vedic Dharma tradition. When the disciple doesn’t do, then the guru has to do. So that’s why Jesus even washed the feet of his disciples to teach them. My dear, it was the disciples who washed the feet of Jesus. But then he said, "I’m going. I give you my responsibility. I adore you, I wash your feet." So much to learn for us in all holy books. Rāmāyaṇa, Gītā, Upaniṣad, Vedas, Bible, Torah, and Quran. The problem is in us, not in the holy books. You open them and you read. Everywhere it’s so beautifully done. Often I have multi-religious dialogues, and several times the Islamic representative said that in the Holy Quran it is written, "If you kill one human, you have killed the whole humanity." That is the written. That is our instruction of the religion. Then why are we fighting? Why are we producing weapons? In Christianity, it is said, "Thou shalt not kill." They didn’t say only human, and in Hinduism it says non-violence is the highest principle. So in this way, realization of the disciple, what disciple sees in his or her master... So now you will sing all nicely. First we’ll sing our Hemavatī, and then you will sing. How? I will tell you. She will sing for Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī, Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī. She will sing alone. She will sing alone this second version, and then she will come to Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī; there we will all sing together. We are not artists, but we try. We are not artists, but we are perfect ones. Kī Jai. Viśva Guru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Paraha Śrī Svayaṃ Mahiśva Nānjī Guru Deva. Kī Jai.
