Mantra chanting makes you one with the divine

The prayer seeks oneness with the divine through devotion and practice. Divine light dwells within, dissolving ignorance. The goal is liberation, merging with Brahman or Śiva. This union is yoga, meaning harmony, a divine science beyond mere exercise. Intellect must be filled with devotion, not dry. God grants realization through a medium, like rain through clouds. Constant practice with a guru's blessings is essential. True meditation is complete awareness in all activities, a consciousness unified with the cosmic. Chanting uplifts consciousness, resonating through all chakras to reveal the innocent, pure self within. Donating Rudrākṣa on new and full moons helps balance karmas. Life requires balancing good and bad karmas to ultimately merge with the one.

"Let me become one, and that is called the yoga. That yoga, which means the harmony, it is your creation."

"Complete awareness. My eyes are closed or open. You may be walking. You may be working. You are aware that your consciousness is in the cosmic consciousness."

Merciful Lord, bless us with Thy divine glories. We pray for the forgiveness of our ignorance and mistakes. We know that Thy divine light is dwelling within ourselves. We know that Thy divine presence is within our hearts. Let us follow Thy divine will. We know that you are with us. We know that we have a lot of ignorance and mistakes. But in Thy divine light, it dissolves all kinds of ignorance. In these 8.4 million different lives, which are dwelling in the Jal, Char, Thal, Char, and Nab, Char—Thy creation in the water, on the earth, and in the space—I don’t know. And I can’t count how many births you gave me. But, oh merciful one, I have now come to this border, which ought to be the final milestone: to get into the Brahmaloka, to become one with Brahman, become one with thyself. Be in the light and be the light. Lord, I’m standing on this border, and I am calling you. I am praying to thee. I am expecting, and I am sure that you will never forget me. I am in your visions, and you will liberate me. Forgive all my past mistakes, and that is my aim. Let me become one, and that is called the yoga. That yoga, which means the harmony, it is your creation, my Lord. Svayam Bhū Śiva. The Lord of the Lord. Devakyā Dev Mahādev, that you are the greatest one. And you will definitely liberate me. Let me be one with Śiva. And that Śiva means that he is the creator and he is the liberator. Sarjan Hara and Visarjan Hara, this is the word. Sarjan Hara means the manifestor, and Visarjan Hara is again dissolving. But that is not so easy. The final, last dissolving is called Mahāpralaya. It is with great pain, with great suffering. But like in one of the bhajans of Mahāprabhujī’s disciple, Maṅgīlālji, he is describing that before Mahāpralaya, all the bhaktas, all the spiritual souls, all the gurumukhīs who are following will automatically come to Brahmaloka. So let me be one with thyself. I am standing on the soul of thy door. And so you gave me these abilities, possibilities to become a yogī: harmony, balance, light, oneness, uniting, and liberation. This is the divine science, the science of the universe beyond everything. Don’t take yoga as just exercises. But develop in your intellect, in your awareness, and that’s very important: intellect. But intellect full of devotion, bhakti, love—the dry intellect is like a plastic apple. So therefore, God has chosen those divine souls who have pure consciousness, a very clear intellect, and are very aware of it, and pulls off the devotion. So every day when we get up, we give thanks. We give thanks for this life. Lord, I am waiting for that minute when I will wake up in thy consciousness. That is our aim. That is the yoga. That means that we are practicing, we are practicing our mantras, we have the blessings of our Gurudeva, our paramparās. This is a message of Alakpurījī. What I give you today, and this is that, how you are the lucky one. You are the blessed one, and you got this message. His love, his light, his mercy, his guide—he is who can give us, no one else. But he doesn’t give us directly; he gives through someone, through some medium. God lets rain, but through the media of the clouds. So we need some source, we need some object through which God can give us. And therefore it is said: never give up. Never have doubts. Don’t jump into the worldly doubts. Don’t get lost in this gushing up. Don’t fall into the darkness. Feel your heart. Ask the questions to thyself. Then that meditation will begin. Then meditation begins. Before, we are just closing eyes, imagining something, then we go to sleep. Oh, beautiful meditation, but we are enjoying the sleep. Complete awareness. My eyes are closed or open. You may be walking. You may be working. You are aware that your consciousness is in the cosmic consciousness. But you are aware that your consciousness is in the cosmic consciousness. And that is Shiva’s consciousness, which we constantly worship. Namah Śivāya, Om Harah, Namah Śivāya, Namo Śivāya Om, Om, Namah Śivāya, Om, Namah, Om Harah, Śivāya, Shiva, our adoration to Shiva. It has no form. It has no father and mother. No one has created him. It is he who himself is existing. And Bholā, Bholā means innocent. We are that innocent, but that innocent is also within Śiva. So though we are innocent, we are one with that Śiva. That Shiva is the complete universe, the complete universe. So feel in the heart; he will give you something. Namah Śivāya Om Namah Śivāya OM NAMA ŚIVĀYA OM NAMA ŚIVĀYA... While chanting this name of Shiva, it uplifts our consciousness. It’s from our heart. It’s ascending, descending. Ascending to Sahasrāra Cakra, and as the Gaṅgā, Divine Mother Gaṅgā. Ganga means peace, Ganga means purity. Ganga means love. Ganga means harmony. Gaṅgā means the oneness, and so from our Sahasrāra Cakra it flows down, this energy, to the heart. All chakras are resonating when we say Śiva is going up. And Bholā Nāth, the innocent, the pure. Innocent is like a just fresh-born child. It’s very innocent, has no trick, no ego, no jealousy, nothing. That is a Bholenāth, and that is you, thyself, in the heart. But in that part of the intellect, where all worldly confusion is there—anger, hate, jealousy, desires, passions, etc.—but through this chanting, we come to the pure divine, that is Śiva. O merciful one, take me there, where you are, and where are you now, not. So let me become one in thy one days. Keś se stanu zajedno Namaśivāya Om. Namaśivāya Om.... Namaśivāya. Every full moon and every new moon, donate to someone one Rudrākṣa. This is a symbol of Shiva. So the new moon is after the dark night, the dark moon night. The second day, if you can see that new moon, you can change this mantra. If you can’t see, if you forget, it doesn’t matter. And on the full moon day, donate, give someone one Rudrākṣa. To some of your best friends, someone who understands you. So it means two Rudrākṣa in one month: new moon and full moon. See in one hour what happens, how our karmas will become relaxed and free. So, O Svayam Bhū, let me give Thy glory, not only blessings. That everyone gets this divine consciousness with the Rudrākṣa, that everyone can wear the Rudrākṣa on their neck or at home. But that Rudrākṣa should be in that room, that house, where some living life is there. One of your family members, otherwise, take with. They can put it in their pocket and carry it with them. Don’t leave it alone for 24 hours. That is the miracle of Śiva. That is great. And so chanting, this is a kind of anuṣṭhāna. You can give more every year, not only one year. And you can give more; it must not be only two. That will balance our karmas, full moon and the new moon. After the full moon comes the dark. And after the dark moon comes the new. Říká se, That is Śiva’s divine play. Namo Śivāya Om Namaḥ Om Namaḥ Śivāya Om Namaḥ Śivāya Om Namaḥ Śivāya. When you have only good karmas, then what will you do with this? So you have to come back to give these, your best karmas, to all. When you will be born again or incarnate again in this world, as soon as you enter the physical body, again, both kinds of karma begin. But that time, those who are angry with you, criticize you, or talk badly about you, that’s very good, because then all your negative karmas will go to them. And those who will speak good about you and think positive, etc., then these good karmas will go to you, to them. Who sees the good things? The beautiful plant, the rose, has thorns. But there’s a beautiful rose too. As long as there are thorns, you see only the thorns. But when the rose appears, you see the beautiful rose. So, like, but we have our NGO, our society, and when we have the general meeting, we are a non-profit organization. So then, plus and minus should be zero, then we are okay. But if we have more money, the question comes: so how will we spend this money? So we have to spend this money further, or we have no money, but more the expenditures. But money was not there, so what did you spend? So, balance, complete balance, and this is a spirituality too, that we finish our bad karmas and we balance our good karmas. So, let’s say, as a joke, if God sends you into this world to the negative, he has no reason to send you. And if you have only good karmas, he will send you to serve the other creatures. But if you have only the same level, then where will he send you? So he lets you merge into that one. So, this is a very difficult balance. But let us do good, good, good. Because we have a very high balance of negative qualities. Maybe not you, but maybe me. So that’s why day and night, we, and I especially, are always chanting, and that is to Mahāprabhujī. And how? We should have that feeling, that giving, that blessing of the Divine. This is not only a bhajan. But when this bhajan is created by our universally worshipped Gurudev, Holy Gurujī, then he was in that state of his consciousness. It’s not easy to write a bhajan. You can write articles, but bhajans are different. And when you are writing a bhajan, then you have to feel, it is he with me, I am with him. And so, millions of salutations, and all the times feeling presence. So, yoga, practicing. When you do āsanas and prāṇāyāmas, what do you feel? You feel to gain good health. You make prāṇāyāmas to gain good health, but for what? For what do you want to have good health? To live life comfortably, without illnesses, without pain. When you think like that, he is with us. He is giving his divine energy to bless our body. We meditate. He is coming to clear up our consciousness. O merciful Lord, be dwelling in my heart. Never let me be alone. And never let me fall into the darkness of negative thinking. Doesn’t matter who is who. Christmas is coming. And you all know the stories of Jesus. There is one scenario about Jesus, that he is hanging on the cross, and his mother is sitting there by him. What was she thinking? Did she curse the people? Did she shout at the people? I don’t know anything. May you know. But nowhere is it written in the Bible that she was screaming and shouting at others. So that’s why her heart, her thoughts, and what she endured—we don’t have that strength. But may she... she’s a merciful mother, and mother means for all, not for only one. That is a divine mother. Other is a worldly mother, but worldly mother is also mother. But let us become the mother of the universe. That father of the universe, so that divine that is always with us. This month, December, it has many significances. And feel this month and chant loudly or mentally, "Namo Śivāya." With this, I bless you in the name of Alak Purījī and wish you a very good evening. Happy to see you again, healthy. It’s nearly four months, nearly. So it was a long time, but in thinking we were always together. When I was sitting in an airplane, I closed my eyes and I saw all our bhaktas in my visions. Satguru Swāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān.
