Good evening and welcome, all of you. Today we are one hour late with the webcast — a technical mistake, and also some delay from the administrative side as everyone arriving offered Praṇām. That took time, about one hour. I welcome all of you here in this hall, and also those who are with us through the webcast. Blessings to all of you from our Siddha Pīṭha. Yesterday we had a beautiful journey to the Himalayas through a beautiful video. We visited Kedāranātha, Badrīnātha, Gaṅgotrī, Yamunotrī, and the video especially showed Satopāṭ and Svarga Rohiṇī — about 4,000 and some hundred meters high. It is a very holy place. Yes, indeed, the Himalaya is holy, and no doubt, India is a holy land. If you call a place a holy land, then it is India. It is said that in every grain of sand there is a spiritual, divine, holy radiance. But not everyone can feel and see it. Yet it doesn’t matter whether you feel or don’t see. In certain airports there are X‑ray machines. When you walk with your luggage towards the gate, you don’t see yourself — but the machine does. It sees everything: only the skull walking, only the bones walking. Very interesting. And everything you carry in your backpack or trolley is X‑rayed. When they want to know if a fruit or some small seed is inside, its blue light appears. This is for the sake of all tourists, all passengers. But what I want to tell you is this: whether you know it or not, definitely some radiance is affecting your body. Similarly, whether you are aware or not, when you go to India — that holy land, that spiritual land — you walk on the very ground on which great, great saints walked, on which great incarnations walked. Some writer, I think from Germany or Europe (I don’t recall the name), wrote about Gandhi: the time will come when people will say, “Such a person walked on this earth.” But everything has its time. Yesterday we saw how the Pāṇḍavas went to the Himalayas. One after another they were frozen in the glaciers. Satopāṭ is a beautiful lake, and it is said — and believed — that on every eleventh moon day, Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Śiva go bathing there. Especially on one day that falls in August, called Dev Julanī Igyāras, the Goddess’s bathing, the eleventh day, the swimming, the bathing takes place in that Satyapatha. Satopāt also means the path of truth. There are beautiful rivers. As far as you go, you still walk along the holy river Alaknandā. And when you go further above, the place is called Alakāpurī — Alakanandā, Alakāpurī. A beautiful valley. Our dear Dr. Shanti walked there, and I think she stayed for one week, ten days, and she felt the energy of Devpurījī and Alakhpurījī. On some caves she made a sign: “Devpurījī Guffā” and “Alakhpurījī” — Śrī Devpurījī’s Guffā. It is a tough way, not so easy. Here the road is a little better, but there are rocks. At the end of every season, at the beginning of the season, all the rocks shift because of so much water, snow, and glaciers. Further on, you reach Svarga Rohiṇī. Svarga means heaven, and Rohiṇī is a path from there — that is the door to heaven. So the five Pāṇḍavas finished their dharma, what ought to be done in the Mahābhārata, and then they left everything and went back to the Himalayas. These five Pāṇḍavas were not born by a mother or father. They were given to Kuntī after the Pāṇḍavas went away and died, and Kuntī was crying, so she got five sons. And so they went with Dharmarāja Yudhiṣṭhira. Until the last breath of the Pāṇḍavas, there was still a test, an examination. Your whole life you were good, but in the last minute, last second, you fell. That is why it is said: Manvā dhīre, dhīre cala — O my mind, walk slowly, slowly. It doesn’t matter how carefully you walk, there will always be some dangers. It doesn’t matter how much you try to be good, there will always be someone who will criticize you or try to harm you. The Pāṇḍavas were given by God — they were God’s sons — yet how hard their life was. If you read the whole story, how much they had to struggle, how many times they were poisoned, so many things… but they remained on their spiritual path just because they knew for what they came. So you should know for what you came to this earth. Not just by listening to this one or that one. You listen to all, but you walk on your own path. That’s it. As I told you, I am preparing all of you. It doesn’t matter if you understand or not. If you will manage or not, that is your own thing. I gave you hearts in your hands — now, if you can ride or not, that’s your thing. I am preparing you in such a way that in the next life you will come as a spiritual one to turn Kali Yuga into Satya Yuga. So I gave you this duty. Now, how hard it is for you, I don’t know. I do my job, I finished. metokus januni tujane ragunat. Mīrābai said, “O Kṛṣṇa, I don’t know anything now, only you know.” Everything is in your hands, Lord, so you have to make a turn. Like you are sleeping on the left side, and now you have to turn to the right side. So I am turning you to the right side. But on the next turn, you will get up to change Kali Yuga into Satya Yuga. It is a tough job. All bhaktas around the whole world, all spiritual masters, and all the disciples of all spiritual masters, they will be born, and again this earth will be spiritual and divine. So we have to be a part of that. You know, there is one song: “When the saints, when the saints are merciful, oh, I want to be in that number.” So you are all in that divine turning. Saints are fighting now in this Kali Yuga to change it into Satya Yuga. Write this today in golden letters in your chidākāśa — not on a piece of paper, because a piece of paper you can lose, or the rain comes and washes it away, but what is written inside, no one will delete. Therefore, the Pāṇḍavas had a struggle. They did their duty with great difficulty. You know, the people were jealous, they wanted to take everything away. And they were so angry: “Why are they successful?” With a trick, they put them in one house. And that house was made of different kinds of material, just like fuel — a little fire and the whole house would burn, like a chemical tanker that has burst and is burning. All the Pāṇḍavas and Draupadī were inside. That is called Lakṣāgṛha. But the very wise, intelligent, clever Vidura always gave hints. Who understands, understands with one sentence. And who cannot understand — you can read the holy book the whole night, and in the morning say, “I need my coffee.” So when the Pāṇḍavas had to go, Vidura gave them a little case, and inside was a mouse. The Pāṇḍavas asked, “For what? Why did he give this?” The message was this: when the forest is burning, all creatures will die, but not the mouse, because it will go deep in the hole. The Pāṇḍavas got the message, and Vidura sent the workers. So, no one knew, and within one night they made a deep tunnel to walk out. When the tunnel was finished, they made a fire outside (it was very cold — purposely), and they lit the fire in the house. The whole house was in flames within no time, and the Pāṇḍavas went out through the tunnels. Nobody knew they had escaped. They had to be in the forest for many years, hiding because Duryodhana wanted to kill them. You understand all Hindi, very good. So, to whom God wants to protect — even if the whole world is your enemy — if God wants to save you, no one can harm even one hair. As many stars as there are in the sky, that many enemies you have. But if the Guru’s grace is there, they all will fail. Therefore, Purī, your Satguru protects — do not worry or feel shame. Be without enmity always, and do not be afraid. Nirvaira nishāṅg, kabhī mat ḍarnā tum. Nirvaira ho nishāṅg, jis kī rakṣā karat Rām, kisī se naī marnā. You know, especially such incarnations or such souls come here to go through all these tragedies and sufferings, but inside they are happy. They are not suffering. They show us the path: even when such troubles come upon your head, don’t give up. You came for which dharma? If you fail, gone. Look at the life of Jesus — poor boy, how hard it was for him, but he didn’t give up. Look at Francis of Assisi. All was renounced, even the last shirt and last underwear, to his parents: “This is what belongs to you. Take it.” Only he said, “I can’t give this body — this will remain with me until the last minute.” So all holy saints, the Pāṇḍavas — no doubt, no doubt, holy. After all these battles, they renounced and went to the Himalayas. The body is old, not the soul. The body is old, not the mind. The body is old, but not the feelings. Sukha and duḥkha, pleasure and pain, are felt from birth till the end. But still, they had not completed their dharma, their test — for what God sent them. They completed, they just lost the life in creatures. Besides these five Pāṇḍavas and Draupadī, there was one beautiful dog accompanying them. Now, the height and the cold are not easy for a dog. None of the four Pāṇḍavas lost their lives, and only Yudhiṣṭhira is going, alone, and with the dog. So he reached Svargārohiṇī. Then — those who have strong lungs, heart, and legs should go there one day. I just went over with the helicopter and finished during the Kumbha Melā time. Yudhiṣṭhira, in the last minutes of his life, two messengers of God came and told him, “You have fulfilled your duty, and now we have come to take you with your whole body into heaven.” That is why it is called Svarga Rohiṇī. He said, “Okay, but my dog is going with me.” They said, “What? Dogs? No, no… dogs are not allowed to go there. And we have no permission to take him with us — no passport.” So, that was the last test of Yudhiṣṭhira. He said, “Then I quit my journey to heaven. I will not go. I can’t leave him alone.” They said, “No, no, you have to come. Leave him here.” He turned back and said, “No.” At that moment, Dharmarāja appeared. That was not a dog — that was Dharmarāja. The dog was watching, observing how far he was fulfilling his dharma. And Dharmarāja said, “Yudhiṣṭhira, come. I am proud of you. You fulfilled your duty.” So, at the last minute, he could have said, “Okay, let the dog be here. Hurry up, I want to go to heaven.” Similarly, it doesn’t matter how many tests come, how many problems appear, we are walking on our path. Śrī Pūjya Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇ Nām Sumārnā Ke Mādhavānanda Satya Pāth Chalānā. So we are on the way to the Satya Pāth — Satyapatha. You are born as a human. Do something. Take it as something. Rāma nāma kī lūṭ hai, har lūṭ sake to lūṭ, antakāla meṁ pīṣṭayegā, prāṇa jāyegā, sūta. Good? Yes, you understand. Ram nām kī lūṭ hai — someone is spreading, throwing the name of God. Whoever can get it will be liberated. So Rām nām kī lūṭ hai — they are distributing, go and take it. Loot saketo loot — if you can get it, get it. Otherwise, at the last minutes of your life, in antakāla, you will be sorry. Our prāṇa jāyegā sūtra — the prāṇas will go away. Who is your best friend? Whom are you listening to? Kushanga — blackmailers, tricksters — they try to push you off your path. We are not in temptations. So, Dharmarāja Yudhiṣṭhira — then he got the name Dharmarāja Yudhiṣṭhira, the king of dharma. What is your dharma? Now your dharma is to practice and practice and… become spiritual. In the next life you have to come as a holy saint. To turn Kali Yuga into Satya Yuga, so many holy saints are in the world, so many spiritual masters, gurus. Why are they traveling around the world? To turn the world to spirituality. So dust will go away, and coal will fall away, and diamonds will be collected. So this is your duty. After that, when you turn Kali Yuga and Satya Yuga, then I come to check. What will happen? Oh, then you will all say, “Swamiji Nuhalama.” Good. If we protect our dharma, dharma will protect us. It is a battle of dharma between dharma and adharma. Dharmakṣetre kurukṣetre. When the battlefield was there, it was a dharmakṣetra, the field of dharma. That is now Kurukṣetra, where the Kauravas and Pāṇḍavas were fighting for dharma and adharma. So this human body is dharmakṣetra — the field of dharma. And inside there is fighting: Duryodhana as hate, anger, jealousy, and ego. Kāma, krodha, mada, lobha, moha — these five crocodiles. The Pāṇḍavas are five: dharma, artha, kāma, or mokṣa. Lobha is the problem, so dharma. Tomorrow we will continue. The webcast will be again at 10:30. Let’s come to the Dharmakṣetra of our human body, where it begins from the Maṇipūra Cakra. And what is happening in Dharmakṣetra? And which army is standing there? Very interesting — very, very interesting. Hari Om, Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavad Gītā, Devī Svara Mahādeva, Mādhava Kṛṣṇa Bhagavad Gītā, Sanātana Dharma Gītā. So finally, the Pāṇḍavas had their prayer. With which prayer did they enter into the Dharmakṣetra? You are my father. You are my mother and my father. You are my brothers and my relatives. You are my teacher, my wealth, and my knowledge. You are everything, O my Lord. And with this strength, they stood through. Very good.
