Dharma is the eternal, unchanging constitution of creation, not a mere thought or opinion. It is established before creation and is rooted in the Vedas, which are the speech of the divine. Action performed with dharma in mind is righteous karma; action without it is vikarma. The human journey passes through stages like student, householder, retiree, and renunciant, all stations on the train of dharma. The household itself is the primary spiritual practice for those within it; mastering its duties is the sādhanā that leads forward. True dharma provides a safe, cultured path, guiding one toward the ultimate goal. A guru illuminates this path, with the external teaching leading to the inner, secret knowledge.

"Dharma never changes. It is a thought process."

"The spiritual practice of the household is the spiritual practice."

Sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ, sarve santu nirāmayāḥ, sarve bhadrāṇi paśyantu, mā kaścid duḥkha bhāg bhavet. Oṁ śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ... Salutation to the cosmic light. Adoration to Gurudev, dear brothers, sisters, and spiritual seekers around the world and here in our āśram. Today is a surprise. Anant Vibhūṣit, Parivrājakācārya Jī, Pūjya Pād, Ācārya Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Śrī, Rājguru, Viśvakānandjī Mahārāj have come to bless the audience. For many of you, it is the first time having his darśan. We have known each other since 1979, a long time. You know about our Akhāṛā, Mahanirvani Akhāṛā, and Bhagavān Pūjya Kapil Bhagavān is the Sadgurudev, or the Lord, of our Akhāṛā. Today, Ācārya Śrī came to bless all of you and to meet everyone. It was my Saṅkalpa, I made a Saṅkalpa that he should become a Mahāmaṇḍaleśvarānanda. Acharyas also have degrees, those who have studied Sanskrit, literature, and philosophy, so we call them acharyas, professors, deans, etc. But for the Akhāṛā, Ācārya means more than just that other title. So, His Holiness Viśvakaranjī Mahārāj is also Rājguru. What is Rājguru? Raja is the king, like the states Jodhpur, Udaipur, Jaipur, and similarly, Bikaner. So, he is the Rājguru of the royal families of Bikaner. Swamiji has been leading his life in sannyāsa with his divine master since childhood. He traveled throughout all of India. He learned and studied Sanskrit and all the śāstras. So to say that he is the ocean of wisdom. I am very happy to welcome His Holiness, respected adult Śrī Ācārya Mahāmaṇḍaleśwar, Pūjya Pad Viśokanandjī Mahārāj. Āpkā hardik hardik svāgat. And they are all waiting for your blessings. He speaks English, but sometimes some people have more attachment to the nation, the language, and everything. So he will prepare to speak in Hindi and Sanskrit. The translation can be done, but it will take a long time. He came only for 10-15 minutes, but time with love has no measurement, so he can’t go; he has to stay still to bless you, and he may give more information about the Akhāṛā system, about Daś Nām Saṃnyāsīs, Sanātana Dharma, and the purpose of human life, Manav Jīvan Kā Lakṣya, Uddeśya. So, the floor is yours. So, you, with your Amṛt Bāṇī, all our servants, all your servants who are sitting here, give them good blessings and words of blessing.

Jinn ke divya śaṅkalp se, eko ahaṁ bahuśyam, is abhidhā se sṛṣṭi kā bistār huā hai. Us Param Satya Ko Apni Sādhanā Se Jinhone Devo Bhūtva Yeje Devam Ki Sādhanā Se Lekar Ke Ātmā Vaśya Vidham Sarvam Ki Anubhūti Ke Sāth Āpko Aur Hamko Prerṇā Pradān Ki Hai. Vande Guru Paramparā Mahājano En Gatāḥ Śpanthāḥ Un Pūjya Pad Brahmalīn Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhū Ādi. Mahāpuruṣon ke pāvan astitvam śat sat namān hai, jaisā ki śāstra mein bicār kiyā gayā hai. Gyān dīpak hai, aur āp jantay hain, dīpak mein tel kī āpekṣā hotī hai, ghṛt kī āpekṣā hotī hai. Dīpak āpanen mein akhaṇḍ hotā hai. Paruṣ Akhaṇḍatā Ko Astitva Aur Anubhūti Dene Ke Liye Kisi Pātra Kī Atyant Āvaśyaktā Hotī Hai. Aise Hāmāre Param Śraddheya Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī Mahārāj Jo Is Akhaṇḍa Dīpak Meṃ Barābhar Apnī Śraddhā Aur Sādhanā Se Miśrita Tel Ko Śraddhayā Dīyate, Iti Śraddhā. Ek Prakār Se Nirantar Anavrat Śraddhā Kar Rahe Hain, Aur Us Jyoti Ko Āp Yātrīyon Ke Liye Prakāśit Kī Huye Hain. Inke Puruṣārth Ko Bahut Bahut Dhanyavād. Sadhu Bāt, Aur Uske Sāth Sāth Inkī Hī Sādhutā Se Jo Āp Sādhak Anuśaraṇ Kar Rahe Hain. Anugaman kar rahe hain, aap bhi bahut dhanyavād kī pātr hai. Hamare ish pavan sambandh ko guru-śiṣya sambandh kahā gayā hai. Guru do prakar ke hote hai. O bhi ādarṇīye hote hai. Ek sadguru hote hai. Jo sādhanā śikṣā dete haiṁ, aur sādhanā tattva se joṛte haiṁ. In the literature of our Indian Darśana, the one who gives the knowledge of the Guru is called Chhāyā Bāta, and the one who gives the knowledge of the Sadguru is called Rahasya Bāta. Chhaya Bāt means outside knowledge, and Rahasya Bāt means inside knowledge. The door of Rehasyā Bāt opens from Chhāyā Bāt. Abhi Mahārāj Jī ne ek bāt kāhī, dharm aur sanātan dharm sansār ko banāne vālā bhī ek hī hai, aur dharm ko banāne vālā bhī vahī param tattva hai. Tasmāc ca devā bahudhā samprasūtāḥ, sādhyā manuṣyāḥ paśubhūvayaṁsi prāṇāḥ panubhir yāvo tapāś ca śaradhaḥ satyaṁ brahmacaryaṁ vidhiṣya. Cricket ka jo khel hota hai, cricket maidan tak utaarne ki vyavastha cricket board karta hai, uski jababdari puri ho gai. Delhi se unko chauffeur kya, rashtrapati ne, pradhan mantri ne, bari aasha ke saat, mukhya mantri ne, faks mantri ne, o chalegay. Now they have to win the World Cup shield, so when they come, the President will welcome them. Phir koi inām deṅgī, sammān kareṅgī, receive kareṅgī, unko rāṣṭrapatī pradhān mantrī handsome kareṅgī, aur hārke āyeṅge to rikṣe mein baiṭhke chupchāp ghar chale jāyeṅge. Aise hamāra dharm kehtā hai ki usne tasmāc chā devā bahudhāśam prasūtā. They made a lot of deities. Deities are those who appear in form, and sādhya are those who are called sādhanā. Air is sādhanā, fire is sādhanā, they are sādhanā, they are sādhya deities. They made us, cows and buffaloes, drink milk and eat food; now we have to play cricket. Kheḷ karnā, to uskī bidhi hai, safaltā ke lie tap, śraddhā, satya, brahmacarya, bidhi hai. Pāñc sādhanā hai, usme sabse pahlā sādhanā hai bidhi. To bidhi ko hī dharma bolte haiṁ. Bidhi kyā bolte haiṁ? Dharma. And the action that is done by keeping dharma in mind is called karma. The action that is not done by keeping dharma in mind is called vikarma. The action that is done by keeping dharma in mind is called karma. That is why dharma. Now, what is dharma? The creation of dharma is not done today. You thought something, he thought something, the other thought something, and dharma was formed. Aaj jinko āp dharma bolte hain, wo dharma nahīn hain, wo vichār dhārā hai. Dharma alag vastu hai, vichār dhārā alag hai. Dharma is established even before its creation, and it is eternal. Kṛṣṇa Gītā mein kehte hain, dharma aparvartanī hai, aur anādi hai, o sṛṣṭi ke sāth hai. Dharma never changes. It is a thought process. So, what is Dharma called? Tattva-śruti-iṣṭārtha-janakatvaṁ dharmasya lakṣaṇam. If the Vedas have represented it, then what are the Vedas? The speech of God. Yasya niśvāsitāḥ vedāḥ. If a saint says something, it is called a paṇṭ. If Bhagavān says something, it is called Dharma. If God has arranged something, it is called Dharma. Otherwise, it is called Paṇṭ. What is Dharma? Dharma Jigyasamananam Paramanam Paramam Surti. Is the root of that Dharma in the Vedas or not? Is its reflection in the Vedas or not? If there is, then we call that sādharmā, dharma. Yato abhidhāyaka niśreṣa sādhanā siddhi sādharmā. Iślok mein unati ho, parlok mein sadhgati ho. Jā bodhi chūṭ jātī hai, niṣkriyā ho jātī hai, to uske bād mein sadhgati ho. There are three bodies in this. This is the first body which is being narrated. One is the inner body, that is the second body. And one is the inner body, that is the third body. The truth is beyond them, so this body is formed here. And it has to be left here. The second body will go and then come for birth. The third body has very subtle saṃskāras. Śvakarmaṇātam abhircya siddhiṁ vindanti mānavāḥ, svay svay karmāṇi abhiratāḥ sansiddhiṁ labhate naraḥ, svadharme nidhanaṁ śreyaḥ paradharmo bhayāvahaḥ. In the Gītā, Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa, Dharma Rakṣā Kṛṣṇa, did avatāra grahaṇa, that is how it is said. So, Dharma is the system that makes you travel in a safe, cultured, and meditative manner in human life. And that is the system of our Pratīk. Today, when we started walking in the morning, one or two sisters came and asked a very good question while walking. Can there be spiritual practice in the household? We said that there is no other way to bring spiritual practice into the household. The spiritual practice of the household is the spiritual practice. If you are in the household, then either you are wrong or the one who tells you is wrong. The household itself is a spiritual practice. How is it? If someone asks me to teach the second class in the first class, that is wrong. If you study well in the first class, then you will get the second class automatically. Similarly, if you study well in the household, then you will be self-sufficient in the path of spiritual practice. That is your spiritual practice. There is no other spiritual practice in the household. It is a very big spiritual practice. You will get admission. That is why there is not much time. Accept the dharma system of the discourse so that we can reach our goal, so that we can achieve our goal. You will sit in the train, and you will come to various types of stations. All these are stations. There is Brahmacārī station, there is Gṛhasthī station, there is Vānaprasthī station, there is Sannyāsī station. But if you have to sit in the train of Dharma, then all these stations will cross you; be careful. So Dharma is the constitution of this creation, which should be accepted, and it should be seen that the Veda is in front of you. Ved means complete knowledge, Ved means complete knowledge on which no one can lift a finger. And we, especially the country of India, have this pride that just as the sun takes its eastward direction and westward direction, in the same way, the Vedic knowledge of India continues to transmit the knowledge of the East to the West, and the welfare of all remains in it. As Mahārāj Jī had told you, had indicated to you, then we should think from the point of view, think again about the point of view, and be dedicated to the religion. This is what our sanyāsī world, darśanik world thinks. I would like to say one thing in this, that you who are connected to Param Śraddhā Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī, and in this paramparā, this paramparā is called Śāṅkarī Paramparā, this paramparā is called Sanātana Paramparā. Avsarvād se aur tatkālik pralobhan se logo ne dharm bhi badle, lekin jinho ne nīti badlī hai, vo hai vaidik sanātanī śaṅkarī paramparā ke mahāpuruṣ, aur un mahāpuruṣo me apne Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī apne Agni Naya Supath Rāya, Eśman, Viśvan, Dev, Oyanan. Vidvān, āpne āge calne vāle mārga darśak the, aur unhī kā jodhyā calne vāle mārga darśak the, aur unhī kā jodhyā calne vāle mārga darśak the, aur unhī kā jodhyā calne vāle mārga darśak the, aur unhī kā jodhyā calne vāle mārga darśak the, aur unhī kā jod. Gyān hai, śarīr nahīṁ retā. Abhi main ek jagah kahe raha tha, Kamal Anand Jī ke yahan, ki aapke guru, pehle aap kehte the hamare guru Ludhiyānā meṁ hai, pehle aap kehte, ye aapko guru ne ākarṣit karne kī līlā kī hai, pehle unhone kaha ki aapke guru, ham Patiālā meṁ. Hai, Hanwān Nagar meṁ hai, Gaṅgā Nagar meṁ hai, aur wahāṁ milne bhī jāte the, Haridvār meṁ hai. Seeing your faith now, after so many years, your guru has bestowed such grace upon you that your guru himself has become manifest within you to meet you. Where have you sat down? Aise hamāre jo guru hain, wo hamāre andar hī virajman hain, aur ab unhi kī jñāna ko amne Param Śraddhī Mahāmaṇḍaleśvarānandajī. Those who have not been able to reach the class, those who have not been able to complete the class, and those who have been admitted, the Mahārāj will make them pass and bring them in. The same process in which our Mahāpuruṣas have attained samādhi and āśrama. In these words, Go, Brahman, Hisaich, Jagat, Didaya, Krishnaya, Govindaya, Namo Namaha. Om Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ...
