Christmas satsang in Strilky

A Christmas satsang reflecting on the spiritual meaning of the holiday.

"The blessing is always the blessing; the blessing is immortal."

"Satyam eva jayate—truth alone triumphs."

The lecturer leads a spiritual gathering on Christmas Eve, contemplating divine presence and the removal of negative karma. He reflects on the birth of Jesus as a unifying force for peace and non-violence, contrasting divine power with negative āsurī śakti. He urges attendees to honor the day in a sāttvic mood, advocating for vegetarianism and non-violence as a way to receive blessings, and concludes with blessings in the names of Jesus, Holy Mary, and Alakporidzhi Siddhapita.

Once more, a warm welcome to all of you. You have come from different distances to be here together this evening. This gathering is called satsaṅg. We are contemplating spirituality, the guidance of God, the presence of God, the manifesting of God, and the removal of our negative karmas. The blessing is always the blessing; the blessing is immortal. It does not matter how many yugas have passed, the blessing remains. This is what is called immortality in spirituality and divinity. If you look around the world, across these 365 days, certainly not just one but many holy saints have appeared on this earth. We remember only a few, but there have been more. Today we remember the coming of Jesus. You are in a culture where you have heard much about Jesus’s life and were singing cultural songs about him. Culture brings us into unity and leads toward non-violence and peace. When we remember Christmas, the birth of Jesus, then no one has an enemy; no one is fighting each other. That is the divine power which unites all in oneness. Yet, even in the presence of Jesus, some of his disciples were not positive—we think of Judas, who held in his mind thoughts that did not accept Jesus. This has happened in every century, everywhere. That is called āsurī śakti. Āsurī śakti is a black śakti; the black spot appears quickly, but it will not last long. Ultimately, the glory and the victory belong to the divine. Satyam eva jayate—truth alone triumphs. This Christmas, we are fortunate to be together. We can think about Jesus, and his blessing is with us and with the whole world. Let us take to heart the example Jesus set when he said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Also, for the Holy Mother, her life was not easy, yet she carried mercy and blessing. She became the Holy Mother. Matka všech, ne jenom Matka pro Ježíše. (Mother of all, not only the Mother for Jesus.) And that is the glory of the Mother, the glory of the Father. Therefore, to celebrate such days in an atmosphere of spirituality, positive thinking, and a sāttvic mood is essential. It is not good to kill animals on Christmas Day and eat them. For if we trust Jesus as God, then he is for all. He was born in a place where animals lived—among goats, sheep, donkeys, and others. He was born there, not in a hospital. All the animals were happy at his birth. Jesus is not happy if we kill animals. So, if you wish to have his blessing and the mercy of Holy Mary, we should give up violence and follow non-violence. On this holy day of Christmas, let us take a saṅkalpa in the name of Jesus to give up eating meat and using drugs, so that our lives may become healthy, happy, and harmonious. In this way, we can achieve our goal of becoming one with God or reaching God’s kingdom. Dear brothers and sisters, I bless you in the name of Jesus and bestow mercy in the name of Holy Mother Maria, as well as the mercy and blessing of Alakporidzhi Siddhapita. Thank you, and I wish you once more a Happy Christmas. The next day is coming—the New Year. I wish you all the best. Mr. Guru Mahāmaṇḍalī, I ask you to bless us with a long life. May God bless you. Adiós.
