Shrī Deep Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī, Shrī Shrī Deveshvara Mahādeva Kī, Dharmasamrāt Satguru Svāmī Mādhavañjī Bhagavān Kī, Shrī Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī, Jaya Ho. Om. Sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ, sarve santu nirāmayāḥ, sarve bhadrāṇi paśyantu, mā kaśchit duḥkha bhāg bhavet. Om Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ. Wish you good morning. The blessing is coming from one of the most beautiful cities in this area. It’s called Philak. As the name, there’s a quality. I just said it, and all were smiling, laughing. Philak. It’s very Philak. So immediately, all faces opened their lotus. The blessing coming from here has a Triveṇī tattva. Triveṇī means three rivers, but we can say that the land is called Mother. So one side is beautiful Austria, then beautiful Italy, and beautiful Slovenia. So Trinity: Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva or Maheśa. Then it is just connecting the three seasons, and so is autumn, where Mother Nature has so much to give us. We were talking about the creation: the soul, ātmā, the consciousness, the soul awareness, mind, or intellect; the manifestation of the physical body, the mind, the awakening life in the body in the form of the senses, the functions, and the emotions, etc. This life is very rare. Of course, the holy books and the holy saints declare many things. The holy book is different from the Vedas and Upanishads. The holy book is the holy saint who was born, and his or her knowledge, realization, and given message. And that message has been written down. Upanishad is the dialogue between master and disciple. ‘Up’ means near, and ‘ṣad’ means disciple—the disciple who sits near the master and listens to the wisdom. That becomes the books. Because all masters are holy, that’s called man-made. Man-made book, that’s called man-made religion. The religion is one, eternal, one religion. Where there is no form of God, there is no name. We give the name, etc., omniscient, omnipresent. But from time to time, he incarnates. If, let’s say, it is Rāma, and the book is according to the message of Rāma, it’s called the Holy Book Rāmāyaṇa. But he was born, he had a father and mother. Same thing, the Krishna, whatever he spoke and whatever Līlā’s miracles he made, this all is written, so is man-made. Similarly, the Bible, it is Jesus’s message, and before Jesus, which is the Old Testament, there were also the messages given by some prophets. And so Mohammed also brought the message, which is written in the Holy Quran. So these books are called holy because they come from the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit means that awakened awareness, consciousness. But the Vedas, which are Devavāṇī, the resonance from the universe, Śiva, Svayambhū, who has no father, no mother, neither brother nor sister, he manifests. States, and beside him then Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Śiva. So Viṣṇu has no mother and father. Also, Brahmā, all Brahmā and Viṣṇu appear through Śiva’s need, Śiva’s order, whatever we call it. But the qualities, the powers are in that all. So the body is just a glass, and what is inside, the liquid, is water. That can have a different taste, different color, etc. Life is a mystery. Life is a miracle, and we don’t understand this life. In the last two or three centuries, many of what we call doctors have researched a lot and made immense progress. Don’t think the medicine is bad. This is bad. When you are healthy, you can say medicine is bad. But suddenly, an accident is there, and life is between life and death. An ambulance comes, a doctor comes, and they give you some injection, this, that, again makes you alive. Then you will realize what the difference is. At ages, in Satyuga time, there was also surgery and medicine according to the Āyurveda. That some drop of some herbs they put on the tongue, tip of the tongue, and the dead body, who was dying, again became life. But where are these herbs now? Maybe it is here in this garden, but we don’t know which it is and how to take it. So, to know how, you know, once they gave some joke or something, maybe it was true. You know, there is one car called Rolls Royce, yeah? Now sold in Nash market. Also in Nash market, a car is sold. But the company of Rolls Royce, they said anywhere you need a service, immediately service will come. So even they will come with a helicopter. Like a human service, so in the Sahara when Rolls Royce stopped, so there was a sky phone, and a helicopter came, repaired it, and said, "Please, what do I have to change?" They said, "No, this was our service." That was good. The same other car, a different kind of car, stopped somewhere here in the mountains in Karentia, and one lady... She telephoned this tourist club, what is it called, UMTC. So a car came and one man came, so it was not from the tourist club but from some service workshop. The lady was waiting two and a half hours, and one man came with the car. He opened the bonnet, and for something, he did like this. He closed it, the car started, and he gave the bill of two thousand shillings. You know what a shilling is? This is a shilling. And the lady was very angry. This is not correct. You have done nothing. You just opened the bonnet and looked inside, and you didn’t have clothes and 2,000 shillings. It’s too much. For what? He said, not for my work, but to know how, that knowledge. So price is a knowledge of the qualities. Then she decided to study the mechanism. So, my dear, we should not neglect or criticize any kind of technology. According to the science that developed here, now there is everything, but still we humans didn’t come to that point, and so we cannot. If there is no scientist who can make one drop of blood, of course your wife will get a child. And she will get blood from mother, child, and it is born, then you have blood. But to develop blood somewhere, still no scientist is there. Because everyone’s blood has a different diagnosis, different pictures, different genes. That’s it. So still no one can defeat God’s work. And that can be done through the knowledge, if there is. But such knowledge God kept reserved with combination law, so no scientist, no one can do. So in this way, still that divine knowledge is beyond our understanding. So the Vedas, the Vedas have that knowledge. Therefore, many Indians call them the holy Vedas. But "holy" is too little for the Vedas. The Vedas are that knowledge, perfect knowledge, perfect light, but to understand it nowadays is not within the power of the human brain. It is very hard to find, even in India, someone who can really and exactly explain and teach you the Vedas. To learn the Vedas, six to eight years are taken for one Veda, and from three o’clock in the morning till evening, chanting, chanting, chanting. And if you ask the teacher, "What are you teaching them?" Say, chanting. "What it means, that I don’t know. I don’t know." So one comes to Salzburg, the music fair, not academy, once a year, a festival, a music festival. All instruments come in there, and they have the book there all the time. But they are all listening, delegates, you know, how he is moving. After that comes what that means. Six to eight years, only one Veda. And you learn chanting, chanting,... nothing else. Then comes the grammar and the letters. Then they understand what it is. No one will teach you the Vedas directly. So, the four Vedas. So, eight years. How much? 24 years, Yogījī. 32. 32 years, my dear, you are only sitting on your buttocks, not running. And eating is very limited. Your brain becomes a universe. Day and night, day and night. I was sitting there, only to listen to what Avatthapur is doing. After five minutes, I got a headache. Because that was too solid, rich food. And my brain is junk food. So we all have the junk food now, you know, junk language, and so on. But that language, the brain, the brain is connected really to the infinity. So, for 32 years, only chanting and then grammar. So it takes about 50 years, 60 years. And you began when you were a five-year-old boy. It is great, but not easy. So there is one story that one yogī was sitting in the Himalayas, and in Satyug time they had thousands of years of life. Thanks to God, we have only very little. Can you imagine lifelong prison? How many thousand years? Or something different? You have a problem? You can’t get divorced? How many years? So whatever God is doing is good. Don’t blame God. God gave a short life. God knew that they have no capacities, no capacity to survive. So that ṛṣi, he was about 5,000 years old. Someone gave him one book called the Vedas. He looked in, and he said, "Oh, oh, this I will study." Who is hungry, very hungry, and according to his or her taste, delicious food comes? And very hungry was it? Oh, that is good food. So that knowledge is a food also, and that knowledge is very, very rich, very rich. Now he studies in his study 1,500 years. Left, was gone. Dharmarāja from the universe sent the message, "Now this yogī has got self-realization, and he has so many years already. Bring him back now to Brahmaloka." So the Dharmarāja messenger, the messenger, they are two. Dharmarāja is the lord of justice, and Yamarāja is also the lord of justice. Yamarāja gives the judgment to those who have bad karmas. So they will go to hell. So Yamarāj has a key. That key is so long. We don’t know how many times it opens. And Dharmarāja’s key is more complicated. It’s not so easy. So, how many negative words did you speak? How many negative thoughts did you have? How many bad things did you do? Things you did, how many hints you did—many, many things. All is written there, or how many good things you did is written there. So there are two doors. One door is opening the way to hell. The other is opening the way to heaven. So the ṛṣi goes there and he said, "Which is this door?" Said hell, and what is this? Heaven. So he said, "What should I do with these two rooms?" I want to have a big room. Endless heaven is just one quarter. I don’t want to be present in the heaven or in this. I want to be in the Brahma Loka. I don’t want to go. I will go back. This he has a power when. Certain spiritual energy, you have achievement, you have everything. You have your choice, you have your choice. Like you sit in first class aeroplane, you have a choice: do you want to drink mineral water, orange juice, mango juice? Apple juice or grape juice, and the grape juice which is a few years old, so many things you have a choice, yes. So the ṛṣi said, "No, I will not go." So they went to Dhanamra. He didn’t want to come. They asked him, "Why don’t you want to come?" Now you will have the best time. He said, "I want to study the Vedas. I don’t want Brahmaloka or Śivaloka or any Loka, Skopjoloka. I don’t want this at all." So he went and he said he wanted to study. So, I asked him, "How long? 5,000 years?" Okay. He studied the Vedas, studied, studied. He’s sitting under the glaciers. Where he called, 5,000 years gone. So again, a messenger came. Now Dharmarāja said, "For you, the whole universe is free. Where you want to go, we will escort you in your comfort." He said, "No, no..." Still, I didn’t finish the Vedas. Tell the god, "I don’t want to come till it’s not finished. Don’t disturb me again." He prolonged the life 1,000 years. Again, he asked for 1,000 years. Now, Dharmarāj said, it is out of the law. No one can be immortal physically. He has to give up his body, but we cannot do it. We cannot force him. He is a great, higher than anything. So, they asked him to come, but he refused. Then Dharmarāja comes himself to give the knowledge gives the explanation. He said, "Ṛṣi Dharmarāja, the justice of the God of the whole universe, dharma, dharma, adharma. Dharma is right of this, and adharma is a sin." So he said, "What is your wish?" He said, "I want to learn, read all these Vedas." He said, "Of course, that’s a great thing. What one can do, Ṛṣi, can you look to the Himalayas?" So he said, "Yes, mighty mountain Himalaya, mighty." He said, "Very good. Please, can you raise both your hands toward the Himalayas?" He said, "Yeah, of course." So the ṛṣi gets up and he looks to the Himalaya with his hand like this. And a strong wind came, so some dust, sand, and corn came into his hands. And Zara Vraja said, "What do you see?" He said, "Here’s some sand, some dust of the Himalaya." So Ṛṣi said, or Dharmarāja said, "Ṛṣi, till now what you have learned is only this dust of the Himalaya. How many years do you want to study the entire Himālaya? It is the Vedas. Now you become as one with the Veda. Please come with me." So he goes. So knowledge is endless. Knowledge we can’t measure at all with kilometers or kilograms. Knowledge is the knowledge. Therefore, the human tries to get as much as they can, but there are still many, many things we have to learn, we have to know, and what we know is just a little bit of junk food to survive a little bit. The rich food is that knowledge, the real knowledge. Don’t get stuck in gossiping and losing time. Wasting time is a sin. "Samaya kā apamāna"—in Hindi language we say "samaya kā apamāna"—to neglect the time, to waste time, is a sin. So God said, "I gave you the time." Most precious time, human. You are not here for what you are doing now. These are the things of animals. "You are representing myself," God said, "but what are you doing?" And I see that the consequences will be that you did not understand what human life is and where you will come, and there no one can help you. So in this way, in our blood and in every animal’s blood, the blood is that life. In blood there is a God. In the blood is thy ID, inside there. All karma, akarma, everything is there in every cell of the body. And how many cells we have, we don’t know. We don’t know. It is, you know, they gave me for the medicine, antibiotic. And so, Manchur gave me this much water, a glass, and she said it is five billion healthy bacteria. This much water, five billion? And these are five billion living. They are proud of themselves. They also have a body; they have everything. So, how can we explain this? So, God’s creation, God’s miracle is the difference. Friend, so we can’t go against God’s will. We accept, we surrender. We have to surrender finally. We have to seek the shelter at the holy feet of God and do something, do something. At the same time, we have a dharma, our obligation, our duty to do something good. Your duty is that if someone falls down, help them to get up. Don’t kick someone down. That’s it. So helping hands are the hands of God. And folded hands is only a greedy human. That’s it. So in every culture, in every tradition, in every country, according to the climate, the culture is developing. Everything, how it is, we have in this world. So, there are different ways of believing God, celebrating God, and like this. But finally, we come to one word called God, yeah? They call Hindu God, Muslim God, Christian God, Judaism God. The Mazda god, they are all different gods, but finally it’s a god. That’s it. So you say that yoga, karma yoga, bhakti yoga, jñāna yoga, yoga in daily life, that yoga. But only one word is called yoga. That is yoga. So I’m leaving my body, my hands, my legs, my back, my shoulders, my fingers, my toes, my knees, my stomach, my digestion, this, this. But that is my, who is I? That’s only one, that Ātmā. So this all will be rejected, rejected, rejected. Finally, pure Ātmā remains. So, because the human life is too short now, Kali Yuga, kevala nāma adhāra, sumira sumira nara hoi bhava pāra. Kali Yuga kevala nāma ādhāra, sumira sumira nāra. Kali Yuga, we are living in this dark age, iron age. What horrible things can happen will happen in this Yuga. Whatever you could imagine, even more horrible than this, you can’t imagine. That will be happening or happened in this Kali Yuga, so it is said, "Kali Yuga Keval Nāmādhāra." In this Kali Yuga, we have only one hope, only one rescuing: Nāma. Nāma means name, what? God’s name, mantra, Kali Yuga, kevala nāmādhāra. We have only a shelter in this Kali Yuga: sumira, sumira, nara hoi bhava pāra. O human, by repeating your mantra, you can cross the ocean of this ignorance of the Kali Yuga. And so everyone is doing according to their belief, their religion, their worshipping, these many things. But it has to be done properly. Don’t do occasionally. That’s not good. It has to be done, so there are some temples or a church, or at a certain time they go in the year to worship; the rest of the year, God is sitting and waiting. When will they come? Should I go for a walk? No, no... They will come. We have preached to God, and he is very loyal. He is waiting and waiting. Bhaktas will come. Bhaktas will come. And where is Bhaktas driving car? So Bhaktas said to God, "Will thou come?" But now God said to Bhaktas, "Oh Bhaktas, will thou come? Will thou just go and bring me a little fruit or agarbatī?" So pūjā, pūjā means ceremony. "Mera jīvan terī pūjā," the bhakta said, "Mera jīvan terī pūjā. O Lord, my life is a worship to thee." My life is a worship to thee. Whatever I do is a worship to thee. Oh my god, merī pūjā hai, merā jīvan terī pūjā, my life for your service. So, sometimes they said you must pronounce exactly. But in Kali Yuga, they say it must not be exactly. But how? So God said, you see, a little child is born. Now it’s about 10 months, 12, 13 months, 15 months, 18 months, and begins to speak something. Mother and father understand what the child is saying. We don’t understand. There is no grammar, there is no pronunciation. But how happy the parents are, and how happy we are. They say, "Oh, he is speaking. What does he say? What does she say?" Words. So grammar, forget it. That pronunciation, that law and language, the child speaks. Similarly, if you do the pūjā properly or not, God knows that the heart of my bhaktas, in the heart he has much better feeling than other whole night staying there and praying the bell. It’s a good exercise, sarvāṅgāsana, sarvāṅgāsana, you know. So they pray this whole night duty, they have one hour, two hours, you know. So Gurujī said, "Nafā nafā bhāv mein, vastu mein nahī̃." Nafā is an Urdu word, benefit you can say in English. So the benefit is in the price, not in the goods. Today, the gold price is 1,000 euros per kilo. We know the gold, we know the euros, we know the kilos, and we know the thousands. Okay, but tomorrow it becomes 10,000 euros per kilo. The gold was exactly; it is not even one milligram less. It’s exactly one kilo, but you got 4,000 more, did you? But instead of 5,000 euros, it became 100 euros per kilo. The gold remains the same, but we lost 900 euros. So this is an example. That’s called price. We call bhāva. Bhāva has two meanings. Bhāva means devotion, and bhāva means the price. So the price goes up and down, but reality happens the same, remains the same. So God is the same. With which kind of bhāva you worship and remember God, that is our benefit. That is our benefit. We don’t sell God. God is as it is. When Jesus said, "Don’t believe in the wrong God," it means gold. This is not a real God; it is only gold. I will tell you what a God is. Follow me. So gold and God. Gold, God, and dog. These are all the words you can manipulate. So the price, the benefit, is in our bhāva. As long as your husband is kind to you, you have love for him. And when he comes home and brings you a cream, and salt, and this and that, she is happy that he has gone to the office again, or the opposite side. Love needs bhāva. And that bhāva, that love, means kindness, happiness, togetherness, oneness. This is that. That is, in the village and in the home, a very good harmony. So if there is love, even a street dog runs and comes to you. And if you have no love, the dog will say, "Oh," and he will show nice teeth. Yes. Dogs have such a fine feeling. Even a very wild dog, but when someone loves the dog, it immediately feels that this person loves me. You see that there is one picture, a statue of the Holy Prince, a ṛṣi, with a bird in hand, and how nicely he is dressed. A modern dress, very beautiful. No, not modern dress. Just old dress. So don’t look at the dress. What is inside? Don’t look at the container box. What is inside? So we call, when the fist is closed, it has a value of one billion. Because you said, "I have a very big diamond, one billion." Oh, one billion, one billion. And in reality, it was nothing, but still it is closed. It has a value, and open, there is nothing. It is a value of just dust, so keep your knowledge. Your devotion to God doesn’t matter how you dress, how you walk, how you look. Beauty is that God. So mantra is our devotion. It is as much as mantra will remind us. So I think in many, many... Religions in Islam, Christianities, in Jewish identity, do they? Yeah, yeah, and Hindu, anyhow. They have, do they have us? Yeah. So many people don’t know what this mālā means and how to utilize it. This webcast is going around the world, and there are some. Some islands, small islands, and they don’t know anything about mantra and mālā. How should they know? Therefore, I was thinking, worship, we have to continue our subject in the next seminar. So the mala. Mala is a Hindi word or Sanskrit word. In other languages, it can be different too. Long ago, I came to the Aztec coast, the first time on the Aztec coast, and had a seminar. And there was a place called Mala Duba. I said, "Where is Mala Duba?" Duba means went down in the water. Mālā Duba. I said, no, my mind is ahead. So you see, language has great meaning. And in Mala Duba, and then one beach or more, one village, there I stayed. First we were in Maraduba, and then second we were between Split and this. It was a very interesting subject. Do you like to hear this? Oh, my God. Sometimes we have had something so good happen, things that remind you of your whole life. So we had a seminar, there were about two or three hundred people. We had a hotel booked and this and that, and that was about in ’70, ’78, ’79. That time was Yugoslavia. So all Yugoslavians were saying, "Swamiji, we will give you Yogaslavia." I said, "Yugoslavia is good." He said, "No, Yogaslavia." And now I have become Yogaslavia. In the newspaper, a newspaper article came out big with my photo, and so and so, it was written, an article by a doctor. Yoga is not good, this and this and... that. And after he wrote, "The vegetarians," because he was a doctor, "a vegetarian diet is not good, and vegetarians cannot get children." That was closed. Morning, when I came for my breakfast, they said, "Look in the news," and they had written, The vegetarian can’t get children. So I said, "Please, can you send a telegram for me?" That time there was a telegram still. Say what? Tell, dear doctor, that’s why Indians have overpopulation. Because many Indians are mostly vegetarian. And then I wrote a letter. I said, "Dear Doctor, you should study again." So, always there are many wonderful things that make people happy. So, how can you get a cow baby? So, this is a, anyhow. So, the mala. Now the mala, we have with the number. Now, the science, the knowledge, is endless. That’s called Vāstu Śāstra. Direction, this, this, that’s also how the energy is going. Those who don’t believe in this Vāstu Śāstra should think, read, and go see the pyramids. And pyramid, who made? Which ṛṣis made? That time there was no Islam. That time there was no Christianity. So, which religion or who was doing this? That science was the science of the yogīs, the Vedic science. So number is very important. And numerology, that’s what it’s called. And number, it should be according to the constellation of your birth. Exactly what time you were born, where, and many other constellations. You know more about astrology than me. Don’t ask me about astrology. I will give you a perfect answer, so goodbye. You are going out to Hamburg? Come to me here. That’s it. You must go and bring, don’t order, give me for Hamburg Ashram. Okay, good day. I gave you already. Okay, this is it. It is for you, so number of logic, but number also should be according to your constitution. In the constellation, how many letters come? And there are three letters, four letters, five letters, two letters. And according to that, you should give your name. So, let’s say the letter came A. So, you can write Erwin. You can write Elizabeth. You can write Amrit. But first, alphabet you have to keep. Then many problems will be solved in life. The letter came A, and you write it on the J or K. So you write a "Karin," but when you write letter "A" for you, Elizabeth, you write a "Karin." So the document is wrong. Sooner or later, karma will catch you. This is this. So that has nothing to do with religion. Your name should begin with that alphabet, which, according to the Jyotiṣa, is determined by the time you were born, and that should be, even one second has to be counted. It is a very big mathematics. And then also number on your door, this, this... okay. So there is energy, which affects us very much. So, mālā, it is a hundred and eight. Hundred and eight becomes nine. And nine is the highest number. Nine, you can’t change. Others, you can change them, but nine will always remain nine. You write ten times nine, and then count it. What will happen? It will remain nine. So, therefore, this Mālā has 108 beads, and 108 is nine. That is a completeness, and that we call the Sumeru. Sumeru literally means the highest peak of a mountain in the world, Sumeru. Or the master, the sahastrāra chakra, the highest number. So it’s automatically counting for you. Once you have a blessed mala, and when you have already done one round, then this continues for you; energy is circulating and purifying. But this Mālā, you should keep it as holy. Don’t take it in the bathroom under the shower, don’t give it to little children to take in their mouths, don’t play with it with your cat, you know. There are so many people, they are so, how do you call it, cat fans. So I took my mālā and went to the cat. It was long ago in Africa, a wild safari, and there was a big cat. Big cat, and it was still a baby, about a few months old. So they said, "Don’t turn your back to the lion or tiger." As long as you are face to face, they will still think to attack you. But as soon as you turn it, then you are caught. So I was going, and the guide was there just to touch the lion. And the lion was coming near, and I said, "No, no, no." So my mala fell out, and my cat, he was doing like this. I said, "You cannot repeat mantra." So this is a mālā. It has 108 beads. When we practice yoga, there is a coming called mudrās. Mudras are also for directing energy in the body and purifying the negative energies. When we meditate, we connect these two fingers, the index finger and the thumb. The thumb is Brahman, the God, and the index finger is the Jīvātmā. Ātmā or Paramātmā. Paramātmā is the highest one. Jīvātmā is the individual one. So this Jīvātmā would like to be one with Ātmā. So this is a union. Yoga means union. Three fingers. These are three guṇas, according to Āyurveda, you can read. So Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas guṇa. Where during meditation... These three thoughts you should give up. Be above this. All three guṇas, be above. Sattva is good, but still can catch you in different activities. So, three fingers are separate, and this is the mudrā we are meeting. So, when we make a yoga book, you know, yoga books and pictures, then everybody is sitting like this. And when the camera, when I click, they said, "Okay." So no one can sit like this for two hours. Therefore, sitting comfortably is okay. Naturally, then you can sit long. So, Mālā. So, one, this is the mudrā. Thumb, index finger, three fingers above. Like this or like that. When you feel palm upward, then energy is coming. Energy is coming in our body, or we can put it like this: on our knee or thigh we are touching, then the energy is recycling in the body. It’s a very pleasant feeling, so like this or like that. Then there is another mudra like that, so this is a Mudra is good, but generally this mudra was not like that in meditation. Generally, it was when they began to make statues of some holy saints, then if the hand is like this, it can break. So they keep it like this; it does not easily break. They keep it like this, Gyan Mudra, or like this. So this was mostly done all the time. There is a statue. This is also a mudra, one after the other. So these mudras circulate and guide and control the energies. The mala, 108 beads, we hold with the right hand. And let the mala lie on these two fingers, the small finger and the ring finger. So, the mālā is held like this. And the middle finger and the thumb hold the bead. You see now? And then, with the middle finger, you take the bead in. For example, oṁ, oṁ... like this. This should not touch your mala. And therefore, also, if you hold like this, this doesn’t come to the touching, to your mala automatically. So this is a finger, you should not touch it, keep it away. Don’t cut it off. So you can rest on your thumb; otherwise, it should always be away. Then this trinity, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Maheśa, and the ātmā will join. But this finger is the fifth one, and it has its utility. It utilizes. Sometimes you can do like this. Once I saw somebody was doing like this, and that was the last of the last. So, mala is the hold with the two fingers, the middle finger and the thumb, working with the beads, and this finger is separate. Now, when we come here, repeating, repeating... Here, here, we come to the Sumeru; we should not go over. We turn back. How? We turn back like this. It’s very easy. But in the beginning, when you get today’s mantra or yesterday’s or something, then you will do like this. Again, I am here. So, there we have to play. It is a joy. Generally, keep the mālā here, anāhata cakra, and like this. But then your shoulder will be a little tired. So, put one cloth near your knee and then the mālā on it. Don’t touch Mālā to your shoes, to your feet, or on the ground, because it’s impure. This is the holiest one for you. This is your passport, a spiritual passport. Don’t lose it. Don’t give it to anyone. And if it breaks, of course, there’s no bad luck. It broke because the thread was old. You have to put a new thread. If it broke, then buy new. No, don’t buy new. If one seed is missing, ask your teacher, your life teacher, to replace you one mala, one bead. But don’t change the whole mālā. This mala I got in 1965, no, 1966, in the month of March. From South India, Śaṅkarācārya Ashram with Holy Gurujī, I was going with him. So Gurujī got this mālā from Śaṅkarācārya as a present. Guruji said to me, "I have my mala, Guruji Mahāprabhujī gave, this is for you." And since that time, my this mala 45 times traveled around the world, all the times with me, this is everything. And this mala is a very special mala. It is life inside the seed. Now, your other malas have no seeds. So this is, you can hear. Yes, yes... yes. So this mala, recharging your mantra, when you hang it around your neck, still the mantra is going on, the energy is going on. So, it is a computer which you put on, and it is called the "continue," ever repeating, what they call—this is Italian, I don’t understand—"dodge." Okay, we all know now. We all know, okay. So, this is a mantra, your mantra is holy for you, and you should never neglect it and keep it. If you can’t wear it daily, sometimes some people, they don’t want to have this mala, they want to have golden malas. Okay, so then you can put it at home where your altar is, but tell your husband, "Don’t hide my mala." Sometimes the husband takes the mala and puts it somewhere else. So she will not meditate today. I will have more time, then she said, "I will not cook," because she knows the husband was doing something. This is a family play, so please hang it. Your Mālā, that animal, doesn’t take mouse, doesn’t take dog, doesn’t take, children doesn’t take. In a good way, when you go to the beach, don’t take it with you because you will put it out and forget it. When you go to some hotels, you will practice, but you put your Mālā under the pillow or beside the pillow. It goes under, you don’t see it, and you just go. You lost it. So, first thing, what you should have: take your mālā in your neck, then dress. So this is a first. It can happen. It can happen. In America, they are announcing when they get out of the airplane, "Please don’t forget your computer, your telephone, and don’t forget your child." And it happened. About four years ago, we were, I don’t know who was with me, in New Delhi, on a domestic flight or international. We got off, took our luggage, and went. And there was a young couple. They also took their luggage, went, and left the child there. Then they took a taxi and came home. And then at the airport, they were announcing, "Whose child is this?" Then they said, "Oh, God." So they took the taxi and came back. They were too tired, or the child was from someone, anyhow. Therefore, this is your prāṇa, this is your energy. And whenever you have some hard time or something, you need to hold your mālā, repeat your mantra, and Mahāprabhujī will help you. Try, try the miracle. Of this mala, the energy of this mala, it is yours, yours and yours only for you. If your husband, your wife, your children, or somebody want to have it, also take from the master’s blessing. Without blessing, this passport is a fake passport. When you will come to the prāṇaloka, the passport is wrong, go back. So it is a blessing with the ceremony, with great things. So this is a pūjā mālā. How to use this? This is your mālā. Repeat your mantra, "Oṁ, Oṁ," or any other mantra. But once somebody told me in Australia, "Can you give me some Christian mantras?" I said, "Why not?" So I gave her the mantra, Christian mantra: "I pray to thee, I pray to thee, I pray for thy mercy, Holy Mother Maria." That’s it. Why not? Is her Holy Mother Maria? We pray to her for her mercy. So mantras are the same; language is a problem, Guru. It is only one word which you call the teacher, master, school teacher, your driving teacher, electric teacher. Without the guru system, the Austria can’t exist anymore. Now they put a kindergarten guru already there, yeah, my kindergarten guru. So, Guru means the teacher who is teaching you something. But here in Austria, they said, "My God, Guru? Why not? He’s a Guru, he’s not a kangaroo." So, Guru is the master, your teacher, who teaches you some knowledge. That is a Master the language problem only when we will understand and compromise, then there is no problem. So, I wish you all the best and pray for your good health and spiritual development. Next programs will be announced where you are. Wherever you will be, you will get the message. Thank you very much, Deep Nayan Bhagavān Devīśvara Mahādeva Mādhava Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān Satya Sanātana.
