Part 1: The System of Life and the Purity of Prāṇa Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavānakī Jaya, Śrī Śrīdhāveśvara Mahādeva Kī, Śrī Marav Kṛṣṇa Bhagavānakī Jaya, Viśva Guru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Paramahaṃsavāmī Maheśvara Ānandapurījī Mahārāja Kī Jaya. Hari Om, everybody. Welcome to satsaṅg for a lecture in this beautiful Gurujī ashram in Vienna. Life seems to be a gamble that never ends. Life is ruled by laws from the beginning, from birth to death, and these laws we have to follow. We can follow them, and wherever we go against these laws, there will be some kind of disharmony. These laws rule the world, this planet, the laws of nature, the cosmos, the cosmic laws, and the laws of the state. They characterize a system. Wherever there is a system, there are laws within the system that rule and govern it. Let’s say you drive a car in one country. There are certain rules and regulations about what you should do, what you should not do, what you can’t do, and what you better avoid doing. These rules are valid for that specific country. If you cross the border into another country, certain rules from the first country may also apply, but perhaps there are some additional rules we should know. It would be ignorance to go to India, drive a car, and suddenly start shouting, "Oh, all the stupid people are driving on the wrong side!" This happens so many times when we enter a system or live in a society. We may not be happy with the rules of a country, but it is our own ignorance to go against them, because they make sense. They make a deep sense. Why rules and regulations? Why have these laws been created? They enable us to live together in a certain harmony, in togetherness with understanding and without harming each other. The same thing applies to our body. The body itself is a system governed by laws. If you study medicine, you will understand how this system works and how these laws function together. If you look into history, it has created many different systems over time: political systems, countries, societies. They change from time to time, but they fulfill certain aims for a certain period. When time changes, perhaps the system also changes. So, first of all, if you live in a certain system, if you enter a certain system, if we practice a certain system, we should observe the rules, follow the rules, and understand the laws by which it is governed. If we understand or want to understand our body, we have to understand by which rules and by which forces it is kept alive. The main force in our body, the reason we are living, is a life force, what we normally call prāṇa. If we ask a scientist, "What makes the heart beat?" he will say, "Yes, there is in the heart a kind of knot called the sinus knot, and that makes the heartbeat." But what makes this knot work? How does it go further? What is the law that governs it? Science in itself is not able to answer that question. To find it out, we have to inquire into our own self. We have to look within our own self. We have to study and go deep into our own phenomenon to realize that there is a force in us, an energy, that makes us alive. That is what we call, under the philosophy of yoga, prāṇa. Prāṇa governs all our body functions. Prāṇa is not only the nervous system, but it goes far, far beyond that. It is a link between gross matter and consciousness. Prāṇa is governed by consciousness, and it manifests through the breath, the beating of the heart, through the functions of the organs, through the mind, through our senses, through our speech, and so on. When prāṇa gets disturbed, the system gets out of balance. Prāṇa can only be disturbed because prāṇa itself is pure. It is like clean water, but whatever color you put inside, you will name the water by that color. If you pollute water, you no longer call it clear and clean. The same is true with prāṇa. Prāṇa can be polluted or disturbed by so many factors, and when it gets disturbed, polluted, or blocked, then it manifests as an illness within the body. Sometimes we call it physical illness, sometimes we call it mental illness, and so on. The most vivid or common thing we can observe is a certain nervousness in our body. That is a manifestation of prāṇa when it is no longer in accordance with the laws of its natural flow. There are some laws that have not been observed within the system. When I was in India, I had a lot of work to be done in the offices, my own work or for the ashram and the institution. Many times I saw officers who are normally quite tense in their work. They sit behind the desk very calm and peaceful, but under the desk, you see them moving their legs very fast. Many times I thought, "What is that? What’s happening with that person?" I discovered it is an expression of a certain kind of tension that people have, and it releases into the gross matter in physical form. Sometimes you will see people and we say, "Oh, here’s a little bit," because he has some kind of movements here and there. That is just when the nervous system gets overloaded with a certain type of tension. It expresses itself in the body and is not controllable anymore. This is the purpose or the feeling. When you are not aware, or even if you are aware, you cannot control it anymore. It expresses itself in that movement, in that way. People who are aware of it can do something for that. You can do something via prāṇāyāma to make this blockage open, to release this blockage, to purify your nervous system again, to calm it down, to harmonize it so that your body becomes again in harmony with the system, so that the laws which govern the system can work in their own way. As Swāmījī says many times, wherever there is a system, one has to follow the rules of the system. One should not mix other things inside, because this system has been created for a certain purpose, and it is complete in itself. It is harmonizing in itself through those techniques, through those exercises, and through these laws. If you follow these laws, you will get the most benefit out of it. If you follow the system within the system, you will be happy about that because then it can really reveal its best and its most benefit. If you have pure water and you mix color inside, then of course it gets polluted. Then the process is again that it has to be purified. Purification is always a process of hard work. We know how much in this world is done to purify water that has been polluted by humans. It costs a lot of money, a lot of investment in time. It is a huge logistic task. If we apply this to the macrocosmos of ourself, it is not much different. So once we are nervous and we are not aware of it, but once it manifests itself in the body and we are aware of it, then we can do something. Then it is the highest time to do something, because this nervousness starts to slowly take over our life. It dominates our life. It is not only a question that we see it or feel it, but other people also see it. The impression given to others is an indication, and people will realize it. So practicing yoga helps us to calm down our nervous system, especially prāṇāyāma, to purify it and to make our body healthy. And, of course, like branches, small branches, towards our consciousness, towards our mind, and towards our spiritual development. We have to have a very strong nervous system to go on our spiritual path, because truth, when it reveals, is not easy to digest. Many times we have heard about people who have spiritual experiences but are suddenly shattered by these experiences because their nervous system is shattered. So it is important to practice prāṇāyāma. It is important to deal also with the theoretical part of prāṇāyāma, but it is more important to practice prāṇāyāma within a system, step by step, so that slowly, slowly, the body can get used to it, be purified, and get ready for your spiritual journey. Thank you so much for listening. Now I am looking forward to the real satsaṅg. And thank you so much for listening. Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Śrī Deep Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān kī Jai, Śrī Śrī Dev Puruṣa Mahādev kī Jai. Satguru Swami Madhavānandjī Bhagavān kī Jai, Satya Sanātan Dharma kī Jai. Many know, and many don’t know, what the Jai means. Jai means victory, Jai means glory, Jai means success, and Jai means love. Jai means truth, and Jai means be successful. God is the truth. God is great. God is ultimate, and that God is within us. Our victory, our success depends on our own practice and prāṇa. Swāmī Premānāndajī spoke very nicely about prāṇa, and gave a very nice example. When water is very clean, it has no color. Water has no form. Form is there when there is a color. The reflection of the sky makes it seem like we think it is blue water, but in reality, it is not blue. If there is a reflection of some trees and greenery, it looks green, but it is not green. The water is pure. Our life depends a lot on water. Water is life, and life is water. So, in this colorless, formless water is the Ātmā, the Self. And so it is said: through the rain, that is all on ātmā, jīvātmā descending from the astral world into this physical world, material world, mortal world. This world is karmabhūmi, our working kṣetra, the field where we can work. Dharma Bhūmi is within us, and that dharma is to be realized through jñāna. It doesn’t matter which kind of life you lead—bachelor, married, not married—there are many, many different activities. But we should know one thing that is very important. We spoke a lot about chitta vṛtti, antaḥkaraṇa. There is one bhajan from Mahāprabhujī: "Antaḥkaraṇa may layer up." In antaḥkaraṇa—now many don’t know what antaḥkaraṇa is—antaḥkaraṇa is our inner function. Manas, buddhi, citta, ahaṁkāra: these are the four antaḥkaraṇa. Manas is mind, buddhi is intellect, ahaṁkāra is ego, and citta is our thoughts, thinking. Within this, vṛtti awakes, and vṛttis are like water waves. In antarākāśa, lehar upaje, like a beautiful lake, peaceful, and we throw one stone in the middle of the lake, and we see the waves are created like a disc. These are the layers, one after the other. Will it remain only a few minutes, not only one or two times, and finish? No, it is multiplying, and it reaches the beach, till the earth, to the limitation. Every thought which has its roots from outside, through our vṛttis, our thoughts—either from visions, from smell, from sound, from taste, or through touch when a sense organ speaks—if it is negative, that means you have thrown a stone in the beautiful, peaceful lake of your citta. That negative thought is like a stone inside and is multiplying, multiplying. That will cover our consciousness with negative energy. If one speaks beautiful, good words and good sentences, that will also create beautiful waves, and it will purify our antaḥkaraṇa, our consciousness. Secondly, whatever we see, hear, listen to, taste, touch, and whatever we do, speak, or eat—the societies remaining with talking, etc.—that gives us a kind of energy: physical energy, mental energy. That energy immediately covers your aura, covers all five bodies: annamaya kośa, prāṇamaya kośa, manomaya kośa, vijñānamaya kośa, and ānandamaya kośa. That layer is like lamination on a picture. That layer is like when you put oil in the bathtub, you go in and come out, the oil remains on your body. Now, which kind of energy and which kind of touch with energy do you have? We have so many layers of different kinds of energy, and the Jīvātmā, the soul, is stuck inside. It doesn’t matter what you do, it will not help you. Therefore, we shall try to purify those energies which are dwelling in our body, mind, emotion, and intellect. That makes us uncertain, that creates fear, that creates anger, that creates jealousy, that creates greed, and that creates the great ego, the pride. For many, many lives you wash your mind, but that spot of those negative energies is so nearly impossible to remove. For that, we got a human life. And if in the human life we don’t understand, then we will again lose what we got, the golden chance that God has given as a human life. It is the saṃsāra. From every direction we look, there are impressions, and this impression is printed in our antaḥkaraṇa, slaya. From whom you take eating, in whose hands the food was held, from which field the food is coming—that has a great effect on our body and our spiritual development. From where the water is brought, who brought it, what was the touch on it? So we cannot avoid so many things. I think it’s enough for now. We cannot avoid many, many things, but still we should take care. Every word you speak with someone, every relation that you create with someone—you don’t know how immense the thick layers of karma you have. So, how many karma will you wash away? Mantra practice—mantra is something like a torch light to walk through the jungle in darkness, and that is a light which will guide the soul. There’s a beautiful bhajan from Mahāprabhujī, and that bhajan is singing: "Ghanādin bhat kire mein kanya kavarinar kei kalap mamabhityaji parpursho ke laar nahi paya bharataar, nahi paya brahmaveta bharataar." So, "kanya" means our vṛtti. Our vṛtti is that "kanya." "Kanya" means the virgin, the girl. And she said, "Many kalapas." Kalapa means how many millions of years. "I waste my life with others. I didn’t find that man or my husband, Brahmaveta Bhartar, who was the Brahmagyānī, who could give me the love of the Brahman, love of that wisdom?" K. Kalapamambityaji was sometimes alone, lost. Who is saying? The inner vṛttis, the inner self. Therefore, sūtra. Sūtra means our vision, sūtra means our aim, you can say awareness. Surta, waha jaiye, oh my surta, go there where there are the holy, the saints, the pure. Diseases. Don’t go here and there. Surta. Surta is that inner motivation, inner longing. Now, many of you have different friends, relatives, mother, father, or animals: your dogs, your horse, your cat, your pet. So you are sitting here, and you are thinking, "In two hours, time for my dog to go out. I hope my friend will find the time to go there." Now, this is your sūrta. It is there. So, where your sūrta is dwelling in 24 hours, there you will go. And when once you are in a negative atmosphere, negative talks, negative energy, then it is like this: you dive in the water deep, but you cannot swim; until a certain level, the water will pull you up. But then you will be drowned, and it will take you down. So it is like a rock, a rock falls on you, and you lose everything. Oh, my mind, you lose everything with the words of hate, jealousy, anger, passion, desires, greed, etc. That is the rock on your Sūrat. Sūrat will not go in that direction. This is, in some way, called infection. So when you are infected by those negative energies, then it is covered. So water is pure. Water has no color. Transparent. Similarly, our Ātmā is transparent. But over Jīvātmā and Citta Vṛttis is too thick a layer. So these are the three obstacles. They are called āvaraṇa, mala, and vikṣepa. One is a curtain, one is impurity, and one is the disturbances. When the thick curtain is there, then we can’t see even the beautiful sun shining; light doesn’t come through because a heavy curtain is there. This curtain is negative energies, negative energy. Temporarily, you feel it is very good maybe, but the final result will be dark. Āvaraṇa, the malas, impurities—physical, mental, social, spiritual, etc. This also includes our nourishment: what we drink and what we eat, with whom we live, and what kind of quality that person has. These are the mal. Mal means impurities. And this veil and dark curtain of ignorance create the vikṣepa. Vikṣepa means disturbances. We are confused; we don’t know what to do. We don’t know what the truth is. Brahma-satyaṁ jagat mithyā. The truth that you are searching for, or I am searching for, is only to realize that Brahman. The other is a prapañca. This prapañca is created by our five jñāna-indriyas, though they are known as jñāna-indriyas. But when this jñāna in the jñāna gets wrong information, then it is a prapañca. And so, changing the thoughts, changing the practices, changing your path will not give you anything. Do not mix. So, as Premananda was talking, the system Yoga in Daily Life, which is nearly, I would call it half a decade, or how many years? No, more than half a century, nearly 50 years. But you might begin yoga in 19, I began. My yoga practice began in 1953 with my father. Since that time, I’m still doing it. I have researched, I have worked, I have practiced, and we put the techniques in such a way—the ancient wisdom for modern time. But many here who are sitting, I need not tell their names, they are doing something different besides. Then I’m not responsible, don’t worry. Your water is polluted. You are bathing in polluted water, but they said, "Can I do that technique? Can I do this technique? Can I do that little bit? Okay, do it. Can I work this energy with that energy?" Which energy do you want to work? Every energy will have an effect on you. Every touch will go as a vibration in you, and that vibration will influence your each and every blood cell. Spiritual development, spiritual achievement is not a little bit. How do you call drama? It is not only play; it is serious. So those who realize this, yes, then I don’t need anything. There’s one nice bhajan. So you know this bhajan. Then why are you running here and there? Why are you trying this and that? Don’t try this and that. You found it, you have it, now you use it. If you don’t use it, then you will lose it. No one is to be blamed. No one. Pure, scientific, very easy, comfortable, and very clear instructions. The purity, the divinity of our Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā, from Ālaka Purījī till Gurujī. Now, how we are, I don’t know. How will my life end, and how will your life end? Afterwards, people will say, "Oh, that was good," or not. So that path is very transparent, divine. And many, many drink the nectar from that fountain of Ālagpurījī’s divine knowledge and wisdom. So prāṇa, prāṇa is like, you know, there’s one animal, they call the, what they call, a legon or what, camel, what they call in English? Okay, doesn’t matter, everybody knows. You can say chameleon, and this chameleon shows the weather information. That is the best correction. So, in different changes of the air, he changes color. His skin gives the information of what kind of prāṇa comes out, or when he or she is angry or scared, then sweating and getting other color. So similarly, prāṇa is pure like water, but whichever color you put in, then it will be like that. So to keep prāṇa pure is not easy. When you are every week newly married, and then every third week you are, how do you call this, divorced, and in the next month you are again married, then your prāṇa is something like when Americans were drilling for petrol in the Mexican Sea, and there was a leakage, and you see how much ocean, how many hundreds or thousands of hectares were polluted, and many animals died. So when you change like this, your inner self is dead, stuck inside. You have no prāṇa, you have no access, okay. We will see what will happen in the next life. Next life, God said, "I will give you such a life so you can continue, no problem." Yeah, this is this. So you don’t think of your inner energy, you don’t think of anything, you have only one feeling, and you are the slave of that feeling. If you cannot master or you cannot speak to yourself, then you are completely polluted. Completely. There is a filter before going to cosmic light. And that one filter is rejecting. This is not, not... not. I was in one factory, Ramdevjī, one of the also very famous yoga masters. He has a big, big factory with Ayurvedic medicine, and his medicines are of very pure quality. If he said organic, it is organic. And he showed me the factory where they are making these different tablets. And if one tablet is a little damaged, even very little, one millimeter, the machine rejects it and it goes again to the powder, to be made again. So I don’t know when, I hope Mahāprabhujī’s filter machine will be broken so we can come through. Part 2: The Soul's Longing and the Discipline of Truth Otherwise, in the situation I see, there is doubt. Therefore, human consciousness, the human soul, the soul—it is all the same. But the soul, when it received a human life, had a great hope, like this: "Veśyā, will thou come? Will thou come just for once? Come to me now. Come, will thou come just for once? My days fly away without seeing my mind. With my days flying without seeing the mind, night and day, night and day, I look for Thee. Night and day, night and day, I look for Thee. Night, hope, and pride I keep for Thee, mind. I keep for Thee, will Thou come, will Thou come, Nipuṇarā and Bhagavānakī." So our sūrta—sūrta means our attention, our aim, our feelings, our visions, our longing—is fixed there on that God. Two things we don’t know when they will come: death and the customer. So if you have a shop, don’t think, "Now the whole day has passed, nobody came, and now it’s 10 minutes early, I will close it." You close it, and then a customer comes who wants to buy it for 20 million, your property, but it was locked. He went to another shop, and you lost. Therefore, the real salt shopkeeper, even when going to the bathroom, thinks, "She is coming very soon." So we never know when the date can come. It doesn’t matter if you are old or young; for everyone, in destiny, it is written. And that one breath is written after. You have that many breaths, no more, so you have to go. We don’t know when we will die or where we will go. Go home. Cut them with them, jaṭām kuṭīra at the civility. Who am I? From where did I come? Why did I come? What is the purpose of my coming? What am I doing? And where will I go with God? So, this is the chance in this life to purify the prāṇas. There are practices, very good practices, but I failed to say the truth. I couldn’t. Come through all of you. I couldn’t. You be my winner, and I was the loser because you couldn’t follow. In the beginning, I did the practice, but practice means you have to come to meditation, with one and a half meters, nobody near you. Sit, and you sleep there. You practice there; you go to the bathroom, you come, you don’t touch anyone, you don’t exchange your hand towel, you don’t exchange your blanket or anything, and mauna—not touching each other. Then you will see how the meditation is. That’s meditation. Otherwise, you are sitting, meditating, and sleeping, and your knees are hurting. So your husband says, "Okay, you put your knee on me." So you are touching there. So what are you meditating? This is a joke. What you do is a joke for me, but it is said, "Between the blind, the one-eyed one is king." So, come seriously for two weeks, many days, not one week or three weeks, but it would be divine. It would be great, but no mauna. No one can keep silent, mauna. And there is also this one person, she is called a sādhvī from Barcelona. I have told you a hundred times, please close your eyes. And she has long hair, and she was putting her hair like this so that I couldn’t see if her eyes were open or not. And then she put on her glasses, which were reflecting. Then I made it to me. And then she did like this. And now also, she’s sitting and writing SMS in meditation. People think she’s meditating, but she’s making SMS. Because the sūtra is somewhere else. Okay, she was the only one in German. We call it "Blitz," applied. I mean, okay, but it is a truth, but long ago, these are different stories. So if you do, there should be no radio, no newspapers, no telephone, and now any communications, and silence. Then you will see what is hidden in you. It will torture you, yourself. Nobody else. You will see what is hidden in you. Unbelievable garbage is there inside. We have to have a mask. Mask it and hold it like this to clean it out. This is why there are meditation seminars, and they don’t take you if you are psychically ill. And you have to write everything, what medicine you take. And so, even if there are ten people, it should really be meditation. That’s meditation. Otherwise, what we are doing is not easy. So many who come to our seminars are very serious, very good. But still, I couldn’t manage. I failed, I said to you. You see, we have the scale to measure how many kilos. So you cannot measure water frogs. You put two kilos on this side as weight and bring the water frogs to put inside there to weigh it down. One jumps outside this side. One jumps to that side. You take the other in, then the other jumps out. So these participants are like water frogs. Prepare, prepare years and years long. Understand your nourishment, your food, whatever you eat, which karma, which energy is in it, and where you sleep, and what you think now. That is, then, a beautiful meditation. I wish very much, but in 44 years, I couldn’t manage with you. You became old, and I became younger. There’s so much energy I have, because I want to give you energy, but you can’t take it, so purify your energy, please. Purify prāṇa, pure prāṇa, but still inside is too much. So there was one story when a bhakta told that one sādhu came, and one sādhu had only one pot, and in the pot, someone... wanted a picture, and someone gave inside the cow dung, okay? He went to another house; they brought milk. She said, "Swāmījī, it’s milk for you." She said, "Put it in my pot." But there’s cow dung. She said, "No, don’t worry, put it." So he put the milk in the cow dung, went to the other house, and the other one brought nice water for drinking. He said, "Put it inside." But Swāmījī, there is dirt inside. It doesn’t matter. Put it. Others came with the milk. Others came with something put in, put in, so milk came about 50 liters. And all were putting in slowly, slowly. All garbage, or the good cow dung, was washed out, and even, and was pure, good milk inside. So we have that. Garbage, we have such a dunghill inside, but if we keep on putting all the positive thoughts, positive energy, meditations, and avoid all these other energies which are attacking you, you will be so pure that He said, "The milk of the tiger mother, you cannot preserve or keep only in a golden pot. If you don’t believe me, go and milk one tiger and bring it to me." And it is said, "If you feed a snake with milk, still the snake will produce the..." poison. So there are some bhaktas, or some people, you can tell and tell them, but they are like a snake. Though you tell them beautiful stories—divine, God, this is very good—they will accept, but inside is... a poison produced. What you call them, sandalwood has a beautiful smell. And mostly the snakes are up there and living there because of the good smell. The snakes like very good smell. That’s why you have agarbatti called Nāg Champa. You have, do you know the agarbatti, Nāg Champa? You know what is the Champa? Yeah, Champa is like a jasmine, a different kind of jasmine, and this has such a good smell, and the snake is attracted to go there, but this smell they also produce then in body as a poison, so you... You may go to the satsaṅg, you may sit there, always you think you will lose something. You give it? There’s no, no... Give it to me, but your feelings, your bhakti, your trust, but keep on putting the satsaṅg, satsaṅg, pure wisdom again. Antaḥkaraṇa will be pure, and let’s hope it is the last minute, most shining and beautiful. Clean is our heart, our antaḥkaraṇa, that milk of that tiger, that divine Śakti. Mother’s chariot is a tiger that will keep in our heart, and that divine mother will liberate us into the cosmic energy. So prāṇa, satsaṅg. Kusaṅga destroys, Satsaṅgha liberates. So Guru Nānak said, "Satguru nām jahāj hai, chaḍe sūtre par, jo śraddhākar sevde par uttaran har." The name of the Gurudev is the boat in which someone will sit. Definitely, that captain, as a master, will bring your boat to the mainland. If you jump out like a frog in the ocean, then of course there are many hungry creatures. Would you like to have breakfast? Some new variety, and which is a new variety? The bhaktas who jumped out of the boat became the victim of that shark, you know. She likes it very much, so prāṇa, inner quality, it is in you, and please, we shall organize really for the healthy people and who can endure and sit for two weeks’ meditation. That would be great, I hope before I die, at least one seminar I want to be successful there, but I don’t find anyone. So try, you make a saṅkalpa: perhaps next year we do meditation, it will be great, you will be happy. Or you will begin to scream and say, "I don’t want this! You want to destroy my niece?" I said, "Not only your niece, your nephew also. Nephew." So, these are instructions. Yoga and life are that light which is leading us. So, what remains for me last to tell you, which I can tell for you and for me, to Mahāprabhujī. Bhajan, Gajānandjī will sing. Come here, Gajānand, with your harmonium. Nobody comes here, and the līlā? Come for ḍālak here, Gajānandjī. Yes, and the cameraman, don’t cut Gurujī’s throat. Gajānandjī, you know the bhajan, Prabhujī, mere avaguṇa chitta na dharo. Translate very quickly. The main words, what they mean, and then sing, okay? From Sūradāsjī, and he has said the word "avaguṇa," "guṇa" and "avaguṇa." "Guṇa" means positive qualities, "avaguṇa" means negative qualities. So he says, "O Lord, wait, I have still not the word, second, Prabhumera, okay. O Lord, you are called the Samadraṣṭī, the one who looks with equal vision to everyone and sees the divine in everyone." Please don’t look at our negative qualities. And if you want, you are able to carry us across the ocean of the world. Like iron. From iron, there is made a knife, which you can cut with, but it can also cut food, for example. It can cut the prasāda. Please don’t look at our negative qualities. Like, there is water, dirty water channels, but when it comes into the holy river, it’s respected as holy water. In the same way, our jīva is polluted by many karmas and many avaguṇas, negative qualities, but in essence, it is Brahma. Ātmā and Brahma are one and the same. Please look at this divine essence in us, and don’t look at our negative qualities. And you will only listen, you will not sing with others, because we want to. Actually, it is always solo and group, and solo and group. Okay, then go on the solo, okay? Okay. You know the beginning and the end, right? Prabhu, mīr avaguṇa citta na dharo. Prabhujī, mīr avaguṇa citta na dharo. Samdarśī nāma tī haro. Samdarśī nāma tī haro. Cāhe to par karo. Prabhu, mīr avagandha citta na daro. Ik lohā pūjā meṁ rakta. Ik ghar baḍhī kar paryo. Ek lohā pūjā meṁ rakta. Ek ghar baḍhīkar paryo. Parasa guṇa abhaguṇa nahīṁ, citavatā kan̄cana kharata kharo. Prabhu Mīrā avaguṇa citta na dharo...

In Sumrandakara dheri vithiyamara harinamabhinam, Sumrandakara dheri vithiyamara harinamabhinam, Sattarvara Pallabhinahina Dheri Bithyamara Harinam. Sumraṇḍa nenābhin reṇachandābhin mandira deepābhinām, He anena vinā, reṇa chanda vinā, nandira deepa vinā, Deśa paṇḍita veda vinā, deśa paṇḍita veda vinā, Deśa dhanīyāri nāma vinā, sumraṇa karali mirāmaṇa. Teri bhittiyo mara arinam vinnahannakha. Teri bhittiyo mara arinam krodha matlubhni haro. Isya choro bhakt jana, kahena nakshasuna bhagavanta. Not sant-jana. Saints have no irṣā. The book is written, Bhakt-jana. Yeah, it’s all written. So, some people are talking because they are already in the front of the flute, like the cobra. The gajanans are singing, and all are like a cobra. Not Sant-jana. Thank you. And you have now, very soon, from the 25th and 26th of October, a very nice seminar here with Gajānanjī, "Lecture das Gemeinsam from Prāṇa." So he will try to bring again in order. So this is about prāṇa and prāṇāyāmas and techniques and good things. Yeah, this is good. Gajānanjī is German-made, so it’s very exact. Vās is prāṇā, vās is prāṇāyāma, the vīra-kuṇḍa and sūma-prāṇāyāma. Prāṇāyāma is rāja-yoga and haṭha-yoga, prāṇāyāma, mantra, mudrās and bandhas, and prāṇāyāma is techniques and liberation and mokṣa. Yes, Mr. Jackson, John Kingston. And that is Gurujī’s Mahāsamādhi satsaṅg. So we can... So, Hari Om. There are two or three pieces of information that are good for the webcast, so that everyone knows. This year, we always make satsaṅgs and memories, an anniversary, according to the day when Gurujī or Mahāprabhujī or Devapurījī left their body. So we do according to the moon calendar; that’s accurate. So this year is on the 30th of October. 1907, 9 and 203, 31st of October, Holy Gurujī left this physical body, but is with us in his divine energy. So this year, on the 30th of October, I will be in India. On the 22nd, 21st and 22nd is Dīvālī. I will be in India. Now I’m going to India in three. In four days, I will go to Gujarat for ten days, to the best part of India near the ocean, where Gurujī spent most of his time. There are many, many bhaktas there. I don’t know, I was not there, so I... We will try to see them if they are available, also going to Dvārikā, where Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa spent his last times there. That Dvārikā, the palace where Kṛṣṇa lived, came out of the water, it is said. And then Somnāth, the Jyotirliṅga, not Dvārakā, Jyotirliṅga, Somnāth, is on the coast, it’s beautiful. But I’m not taking the group with me, I’m going only with five or six people to travel, and I will see. And then, maybe next year, I will take you people there. So, that’s how it is. So, we will see. Secondly, at Christmas time, I will be on Christmas in Vancouver, Wellington, and Oakland. In New Zealand, I will celebrate with you Christmas, beginning here somewhere some days before and Mahāprabhujī’s Mahāsamādhi. Then I will be going to India and stay in India till the 22nd, 23rd of December. Then I will continue to New Zealand, and then 7th till 28th of January 2015 in Fiji, there will be a seminar. Limited places, only for 30 people. I don’t know if they have registered already or not, and the conditions are there. Yes, then I’m coming back, so winter group. If someone wants to go to Christmas time and New Year in India, you are most welcome. You can go to Jordan, you can spend time there, or you can go to Khaṭū or Kailāśa. But let us know first, so we can organize in that way and discipline practice. Try to meditate there and be good disciples, because I’m not there. I will see how we were there. The Mahā Yajña which we wanted to do in 2015, unfortunately, will not take place because the temple is still not ready. So when the temple... Is it not ready? What can we make when the husband is still not there? What should she marry? No, so unfortunately it should have been finished last year, but so it is, unless this is a life, and when the temple is completed, then we do. This yajña has a meaning. We will do Śivjī’s pūjā there, this Dvādaśa Jyotirliṅga, and we will get some good priests. It’s not easy to get a pūjārī, not easy at all, because everyone wants to study English and computer. You see, in Austria, in Europe, in many, many villages, there are little churches, but no priest there. Yeah, they are bringing them now from Sri Lanka, from India. You see, the people lost the relation to God, to spirituality, but it is his divine will, because God does not want that one who is not capable should enter the church, you know. If one is not capable, not doing correct things, then it is better to be closed than to open the door. But it’s a pity, so many churches are free and empty. In America and Australia, churches are sold at a very low price because they cannot make other kinds of activities. A five-dollar big church was sold, yes, symbolical five, because the maintenance of that is about two or three thousand or four thousand per month. So, spiritual, spirituality, and we are missing the Swāmīs too. Our Swamis are jumping like kangaroos, from the lungi to the trousers, jeans, and from jeans to the bikini, and from bikini to the, I don’t know, F, kha, kha. I said that. I said kha, kha,... kha. It’s not easy to find a real, good sannyāsī. Sannyāsī means one who represents Dalek Purījīs, Siddha, Pīṭha, Parah, who is capable to, they try their heart. Of course, I am any. There is Gajānanjī here, Premananjī is here, many others are still there. There is nothing to say, but they are growing, they are growing, it will be. So, what I wanted to say, what was it? So, yeah. So, yajña will not take place, but on holidays you are welcome. Go by group and do the seva and ashram, and those who want to come to Fiji should first register. Otherwise, you come, there is no place. That’s not good. And I will not be available there. Not, I will be evening for prayer and satsaṅg. I am going to record something: how was my 43 years, 45 years, and finally I will write, "I failed." So perhaps you will do now, so I will not write that chapter. So discipline. So when that is finished, and you know that thousand eight statues of Śiva are also coming in that temple, in that graha, and those who will dedicate, donate that statue, there will come their name or their family name doesn’t matter, your husband’s name or a wife’s name or anything, and this name will remain forever there. It will not be removed as long as the Om Āśram will last, and yogīs have built it in such a way so it will last centuries and centuries. So that three times there will be pūjā, and in that, all the ancestors automatically will be liberated from those Pitṛloka karmas. So one should think over, and then you will get a certificate, you will get a picture of that statue, the name, what this name is of this Śiva, because there are 1,008 names, and your name, and that you will get any time you go. You search that number, name, you will be there always. And whenever puja is done, this is done in the whole hall. After that, there’s a big surprise, there’s a big surprise. Swamis have always, I don’t know what they have here in mind. On this, the third level of the temple, there will be something modern. Technology, half, half, that grab, grab... Means this is a grab grab where Gurujī and they are sitting in this area. So that is about three by three meters, or three and a half, or four, I don’t know exactly. That will be designed as a universe, the egg. And when you come there, you step in, you will not dare to do, because you think you will fall down. It will be dark, dark blue, and all the lightning, stars, and our expertise are doing here, they are sitting. And in the center will be one crystal Shiva Liṅga, which has an illuminated light, Shiva Jyoti. That is the first creation that comes out. And it will be only one thing inside, the sound Oṁ. It will be a thick curtain, like in an opera. In the theater, thick curtains are put up. 10 to 15 people or 20 people can go in and then come out, so that you can see that cosmic picture and only Śiva, how he appears from the endless universe. Yes, and then on that we are working. If you have anyone who knows how to do such things, you are most welcome. And if someone wants to dedicate or donate the entire amount, it will be about three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand euros. It’s not very much, but that will be entire. That universe, you will be dwelling in there constantly. But if you cannot do, do not do. Your heart, sab kus deva datta, deepa dayal, what you have given, you have given; you have no right to ask back. Otherwise, many, many karmas will attack you again. So if you do, you have to do it. It is not that many don’t know, people, but this is something, something. So that’s why it takes time, it takes time to finish the temple. There will be 108 fireplaces in nine days. And it will be a great yajña. Already they are writing articles, and that will be something. So, two things I want to say: in summer, you can go when you like to go, and in winter—sorry—winter holidays. And now, if you want to go with me in December, I will be there 10 to 15 days in India. You can be with me. Those who want to go to Fiji or somewhere on time, you have to register. Otherwise, enjoy. Wish you all the best, and much love. That’s all.
