I would also like to request Pakārām Jī Chodrī to come on stage. The main speaker is Mr. Pankaj Kumar Jī, a student of Prāndh College. I request Ashok Kumar Jī to introduce the guests on the stage. Shri Ashok Pal Sindi Maharaj Jī is present, along with Pakāram Jī Bhai Sahab from Bali district, and the district coordinator Jī. I request Shri Shri Ek Jarān Shri Mahisvarānan Jī Maharaj. I will also give you all the blessings. Let me say a few words: Shri Shri 1008 Shri Maheshwarananda Jī Maharaj. Hail to the cow mother, hail to Gaṅgā Mātā! Hail, hail, O great devotees! Seeing all this, I am very pleased. We are all the children of those ṛṣis and munis who upheld the Sanātana Dharma—the Sanātana Dharma that is different from other superstitions which lead us astray into the wilderness. From there, they create an illusion. The eternal dharma—Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa says, "mame vāso jīvano ke jīva bhūta"—I reside within all living beings. All of them are eternal; they are my parts. This is what is referred to as the eternal dharma, which is sometimes called Hindu dharma by some sages, and the meaning of Hindu dharma is the same. That which keeps ahiṃsā away from a Hindu, that is the true Hindu dharma and protector. We are the descendants of those ṛṣis and munis, and within our Vedas, our Upaniṣads, and our scriptures, it is written: "Satyam eva jayate ahiṃsā paramo dharmāḥ." This is what our ṛṣis and munis have taught us. Dear ones, for some time now, in the minds of our people... They have blackmailed us in such a way, and we think that by following our Hindu Dharma, we are not gaining any benefit. Dear ones, Hindu Dharma is Sanātana Dharma. Yoga is the gift of the ṛṣis and munis. Yoga is not a part of any religion. If they do not exist, then all dharmas are parts of yoga, and the foundation of that yoga is Sanātana Dharma, because within our Sanātana Dharma, the foremost principle emphasized is compassion. All beings are my ātmā; the ātmā itself is Paramātmā. Not causing pain to any being is the special feature of our dharma. Whether it is a small ant or a large elephant, not giving a lifetime to any creature, not killing anyone—that is our dharma. Our India is fundamentally a land of dharma, and all the cultures that have emerged have originated from our India. I want to say two words about myself, which are "buje sya." People are good, nature is good, but the compassion and dharma within our tradition understand humanity, protect living beings, and safeguard the environment. That is our dharma. Dear friends, every morning when I rise, my motto is this: How does a human live? Thirdly, what are the qualities of a human being? And if I do any work, I will do only what a human being does, not what an animal or a demon does. Within our dharma, our religion is a divine dharma, and those who commit violence follow an animal dharma. So, we have a divine culture, and they have an animal culture. People all over the world are now beginning to understand that through yoga and the Upaniṣads and Vedas of Hindustan, we are now reaching various granthas, and they are thinking that until now we were in darkness. I do not say only that I was born in India, but I truthfully say that there are good people there as well, everything is good there too, but what can connect us to that Brahman? It is explained in our dharma that no matter how advanced the science of the world is, it deals with the body, then somewhat with the mind, but what the mind truly is remains unknown. They have studied emotions extensively, and after the mind, they have explored the intellect and wellness. There is no jīva inside animals, there is no jīva inside trees, there is no jīva inside women, so how can there be jinn there? That is why our jīva is ātman; ātman is a mixture of anātman and jīva, so the jīva is in the form of jīva-ātman. But the ātman itself is one, it is everywhere, it is eternal. It is formless, indivisible; it is the essence of our dharma, the heritage of our India, the foundation of our Indian traditions, and the truth revealed by our sages and seers. So, my personal experience, which I have gathered over countless evenings of contemplation, is the wisdom of the enlightened ones. Everyone has been given their own guru mantra; they carry its weight, they worship it, they chant the Gāyatrī mantra, Hanumān’s. All my disciples, if they are given any medicine, any capsule, if it contains cow’s ghee, they will take it; if it contains animal ghee, they will not take it. They used to say, better to die... They will go, but the tallow of animals, the tallow of cows, we will not get. Millions of people are watching the glory of India and coming to India. Our eternal truths, the Sanātana Dharma, are beginningless and endless. Various religions have come and gone, various systems have come, like the Soviet Union system, so deeply entrenched. Who could have imagined that now... Who will break the unions with mere thought? That too has been proven false. But sanātana is not broken, nor will it be broken. Therefore, it is our duty to protect dharma and our culture. From culture arise saṃskāras, and from saṃskāras, our samādhi and the protection of our country will be ensured, enabling us to establish world peace. Saṃskāras. Where do those saṃskāras come from? They come from the lap of the mother and father, and from the shelter of the guru’s shelter, dear ones. Do not forget, do not forget. I always say, I say everywhere, that first teach your children two things: first, mother and father—this mātā and pitā—this is our very first step. You both understand and explain it to the children; if you teach them, the pride of Bhārat Mātā will rise. Friends, this dharma is not just this or that dharma that people call a mere fragment of it. No, our dharma is that fragment. The essence of the fragment is such that when it is complete, it is the Sanātana Dharma. It is on that foundation that we must walk and protect the nation. And I sincerely thank you very much for inviting me. I warmly welcome you, I respect you, and I am grateful. We must protect dharma, we must protect dharma,... May Rām protect dharma; may all enemies be defeated; may there be no partiality or division. Oṃ śāntiḥ is our mantra. As soon as I rise in the morning, I am a human being. How does one become truly human? What qualities does a human possess, and how can you awaken those qualities that can protect our dharma? The victorious one, indeed, is capable of accomplishing tasks, of dispelling doubts, and of protecting dharma; surely, you are capable of this, and you shall be victorious.
