Om Namah Śivāya, Namah Śivāya... Sītā Rām, Sītā Rām... Jaya, Jaya... Jai, Jai... I cannot imagine a more beautiful Easter time than in the Divine Presence of our Master. Dear Viśva Gurujī, we are very happy that you have come to us at the Mahāprabhujī Ashram in Strelka, and we welcome you with this mālā. I also welcome our dear sādvis and Svāmī Gajananjī. I welcome all of you. I am happy the hall is again completely full, and I greet everyone watching the webcast. We will be happy if you join us the whole weekend. Now, I give the floor to our dear Viśvagurujī. Thank you. Blessings to all of us by the blessings of the Alak Purījī Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā. This means the blessing comes from Satya Yuga until now. We are blessed that we evoke our consciousness in our paramparā. All dear bhaktas here and abroad, worldwide, they think of Jesus’s crucifixion. It does not matter which religion you believe. But all should feel that crucifixion of Jesus. In every yuga, from time to time, āsurī śaktis are active. From yuga to yuga, this is not the first time that Jesus offers his life. It is not only in these last two centuries. But in every age, in every millennium, there are offerings dedicated to the well-being of all creatures. It is not easy, only for heroes, for warriors. A warrior means not only in some army fightings. Our living life, the human life, is to understand. We can feel, we understand. We know what is the pain and what is the pleasure. We know what it means to offer the life. Life for great warriors is called the dive into a very deep hole—the dive into the deepness. Every yuga, so it is said, as the creatures began, the good and bad energy developed. Now, here in this part of the world, it is spring. We put good seeds in the earth. But with that, weeds also grow. Weeds are more and stronger than the crops which we are planting. So Āsurīśakti and Devīśaktis, the devil’s power and divine powers. And there is always a battle. Both have to struggle to fight. Like there were some who were fighting against others to support Jesus, and some were fighting to crucify Jesus. Āsurī Śaktis are acting, hidden. They try to put all in very difficult and very negative behavior. Every creature needs to live. Like in these flowers, there are so many ants, and they begin to enjoy my blood. No problem. We give them divine place to the Śiva’s triśūla. So it was Devas and Asuras. Devas are living in what is called the Svargaloka. The king of Svargaloka is Indra. When you come into Svargaloka, your complete Kāyakalpa takes place immediately. You need not practice yoga or some kind of medicine and so on. You are about 25 or 30 years old, though even you were 110 years old when you entered into Svarga Loka. That’s called Kāya Kalpa. But we are talking and practicing Kāya Kalpa—that is a toy for children. Only they can come there who dedicated life, who did sādhanā, who did prayers, Guru Bhakti. Understand the Guru Dev. That’s why: Guru Brahma, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Deva Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Para Brahma, Tasmai Śrī Guruye Namaḥ. No criticizing. There are some bhaktas who speak on both sides. "Our gurudeva is the best, and our gurudeva is very good. But why doesn’t Gurudeva help them? And why, Guru Deva, don’t you do this thing for them?" So that is not Guru Bhakti. And who are you to judge? That one cannot come to the Svarga Loka. And Āyurveda was a time of the Svarga Loka, that Charak Ṛṣi made Āyurveda remedy, and the blind ṛṣi again got the eyes. That’s called Chyawan Prāś. Chyawan Ṛṣi. His name was Ṛṣi. His name, Chyawan Ṛṣi. And now, Chyawanprāś you can buy, no problem. But there is mostly sugar inside. Chyawanprāś has a taste similar to what you have from the sweet skin, and it has a similar taste as a povidla. You take one spoon of povidla and then take one spoon of Chyawanprāś. Chyawanprāś, nearly the same taste. Chyawanprāś has a little sour taste. But to have a real Chyawanprāś, that real remedy, where there is a gold ash—they burn the gold. That gold they burn and they put in. There is also what we call the quicksilver, that is also purified by Āyurveda, and you can take it in your body. Otherwise, it is very dangerous and very poisonous. But Āyurveda’s science is that they can get frozen that quicksilver, that mercury, and from that mercury they can make a Śivaliṅga, a big Śivaliṅga. Yeah, from this mercury. Yeah, yeah. And they can make a mala. And when you go walking in the mountains, you keep this one bud of the mercury in your mouth and you walk; you will not feel tired. But it should be very well prepared by a non-Āyurvedic doctor. Otherwise, you can go into the mountains, and you will be forever up there. That’s it. Dekhā, dekī, saje, yog, gāte, kāyā, bāde, rog. Who is imitating those who are practicing imitative yoga? Gāthekāyā, their body will cease. Our body will be rogue, and illnesses will improve in the body more. Therefore, we must have the blessing of the Gurudeva. That blessing, then, is a diploma of the Gurudeva. If you have not finished your academics in the university, you have no diploma in your hands. And if you just print it yourself, you will be punished. So this is the first principle in Āyurveda as well as in yoga: follow, trust, obey, obey, obey thy master. And in Kali Yuga, they think, "I know everything, I read in the book everything." Then we will not be successful. Therefore, let’s follow the ṛṣis. To follow the ṛṣis is great. So Āsurīśakti, Asuras, what you call the Satan, they fight day and night to attack heaven and take it over. We call it heaven, and in India we call it Svargaloka. So heaven is not forever, and Svargaloka is also not forever. Those who do have the best karma, good karma, but still not mokṣa, and even if they have mokṣa, they can’t come to the Brahmaloka. So those who can come to Svarga, they are known as devas. Devas and devīs. Deva is masculine and devī is feminine. But both have this divine position. But the devas say to Bhagavān, to Śiva or to God, "Merciful Lord, when we have enjoyed and got all our credit from the good karmas, we know that we have to go again to the chaurāsī," which means again birth and death. "I will pray to Thee, O Lord, if we are born again, then give us human birth." These are the words of the satsaṅgs of the saints, and our divine holy Gurujī often was telling this, therefore. No, he... oh, oh, oh... Oh, oh... Oh Prabhu, yahī vinnatī Lālā Nānakī rājā dena Gurūsā, moyā charanokhī rājā dena dayā, moyā charanokhī charanokhī, padakam malokhī Prabhu charanokhī, padakam malokhī. Raja Dena Nayalu Moye Charanopi. So, Naime Mangu Bhog Swarga Ka. O God, O Gurudev, I am not longing for the joy, the happiness of the heaven, neither the wealth and the kingdom on this earth. Neither am I asking for mokṣa, mukti, because mukti is the dust of the Gurudeva’s holy feet. It is a prayer to Mahāprabhujī. Lala Nanjī says to Mahāprabhujī, "I am only asking for thy holy dust from the holy feet." So the devas or the devīs, they are all what we call the holy. They are in Svargaloka, but when this karma is over, finished, then we have to come again to the Chaurāsī. At that time, I want that mokṣa: Brahmajñāna, Brahmaloka. So many times, many, many times in every yuga, and many, many times in the yugas, the rākṣasas, they win the heaven, and they throw out the devas. And again, the devas and Indra were fighting, and they took over the heaven, and they threw the asuras out. And that was like the condition, the atmosphere is so painful for us, like that Jesus was crucified. But others were happy because they thought we had won. But their winning is not forever. Therefore, Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa said, "Arjuna, time to time in every yuga, whenever the dharma is getting humiliated and adharma is growing, I come to destroy adharma and to establish the dharma again." He doesn’t say "my religion" because there was no religion. There was only one religion: Sanātana. Entire creation is born, grows, survives, all including the plants, vegetation, all creatures. Their life is Sanātana. But that life, when it is tortured, cruel, painful, that we cannot resist, and we pray. Be prayer, that he comes. He comes to save us. So there was a ṛṣi, and there was a battle in the Svarga Loka. There was one of the Rākṣasas, Vrat Dūra Rākṣasa. There was a sura that Rākṣasa was killing, and no one could be in him. So they went to Brahmā, and Indra also went to Brahmā. "Protect us, please. Save us. This Asura, this Rākṣasa is killing us. And he is like a mortal. No one can kill him. No weapon can kill him." There was only one promise that through that, that Rākṣasa can be killed. It is said a time will come. The clock of the Lord, or the clock of time, doesn’t stop. The time will come, and I will show everything. How long will you dance? How long can you say, "I know now all knowledge, I am a guru now"? I will now teach myself, and I will do everything. How long? Again, you will be the loser. There are so many different things to steal. Bhakti, you can steal it. The intellect, knowledge you can steal. Your art, your qualities you cannot steal. That’s why in this Kali Yuga we said copyright. But there are the thieves, even the copyrights, they say, "Ah, finished, I’ll do it." But there you have to pay the tax. And that tax will be very, very difficult. The tax means again going down into other creatures’ lives. And you never know when, after how many yugas, you will come again as a human. Therefore, the human life. So Indra went to Brahmā and said, "This Rākṣasa is killing us, and no one can kill him. But there is only one way: if I make an arrow from the human bone, the spine, but not from the dead human’s body, not killing by force the human’s body. With free will, being alive, let’s take out the spine. And that gives you, and Indra makes the weapon out of it. Then that Rākṣasa can be killed." Now, who can do this? If your best friend said, "I am ill and I need a kidney," we will say, both kidneys, one I can give her, both kidneys. But for the sake of all, for the sake of the dharma, for the sake of all spiritual gods’ followers, there is no duality of any religion. In that religion, there should be dayā, dharma. There is righteousness, and mercy. O merciful Mother Maria, bless me with Thy mercy. Today this mantra was there. That’s it. So God has no dualities in my religion, your religion, my country, your country, my wife and your husband, and your husband and her husband, no. Therefore, Holy Gurujī said, "How is that bhajan, Holy Gurujī’s bhajan? I don’t understand." If one person should say, I am not afraid of death. I am not afraid of birth. I am not afraid of birth.... Rāke lāgya cintamata karanā, Vidyadīpa dayālu kā nām saddhāhi sumarana. So Indra said that rākṣasas can only be killed, or we can win over the rākṣasas, if someone can donate this spine. First, with the free will. Second, be alive, and third, don’t show or feel that you have pain. You see, as Hiraṇyakaśipu said, "I should not die during the day or night, not in the house nor outside, not by day or night, no illness, no natural death, neither animal nor human can kill me, and no weapon can kill me." Brahmājī said it will be, but the Lord has enough reserve, something. So, Gurudev has a reserve. Why are you so worried? So they were searching. That time there was one ṛṣi. Very famous ṛṣi now. Till today we remember him, we worship him. And that Ṛṣi’s name was Dadhīci Ṛṣi. In the Mahāpurāṇas, you can read the whole life of Dadhīci Ṛṣi. So if someone can give a donation, then give like the ṛṣi, the ṛṣi. The ṛṣi sat in samādhi and said, "Take all my bones, and each and every bone I donate." From that time onwards, it began giving donations, blood, giving organs, thanks to that ṛṣi, and from that, the bone of the ṛṣi gave to Indra, and Indra made this, called Vajrapāṇa, that is one of the strongest weapons. It’s like an iron, and he took out the bones of the Dadhīci Ṛṣi, and it killed the Rākṣasa. So like this, Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa said, "Every yuga I am coming." It’s not only Kṛṣṇa; before Kṛṣṇa, Bhagavān Rāma, before Bhagavān Rāma there were many avatars. Even Hanumān was the avatar of Śiva. So, my dear, unfortunately, the Āsurīśakti is growing always. We plant one nice cherry tree, but round and round, how much the weeds grow. We clean the weeds out, and they come again. Similarly, you make your mala and sādhanā today. Tomorrow, again, the karma is growing. Don’t think that we are free from karmas. That’s only your dream. So therefore, Holī Gurujī said, "Evening, you take bath. Brush your teeth. Your whole body is very nice and clean. You get up in the morning. You feel to bathe again. And brush your teeth. You have cleaned nicely. Clean dress, and you go to work. Evening again, you have the pollution." Therefore, all the times of our sādhanā, repeating mantras is very important. One day I was walking with Holī Gurujī in the area of the Nepal Ashram. And there was monsoon, and some grass was growing. And there was one side the toilet, so I had to go and come there. Everywhere grass was growing, but where we were going to the bathroom and coming, there was a footpath. So Gurujī gave one poem, very nice. Rām nām lene se hoī pāpkā nāś. When you repeat the name of God Rāma, Hoi Papka nas, the sin will be destroyed. Jese avat javat, like coming and going, on that footpath, grass will not grow. Just five centimeters or different, the grass is growing. But because we are always walking there, even the ants make the highway. We see the ant’s path. So similarly, Gurujī said, it doesn’t matter what you are doing, it is said, Mukh me Rām, heart may calm. In mouth you have name of God, Rām. And in your hands, you have the work, so you have a double benefit. Mukh me Rām, mukh means mouth. Heart may come in the hands’ work. So it means, don’t sit all day and say, "I’m meditating." You are taking more karma because there is some work that has to be done. Therefore, karma yoga is important. Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa said, "Yoga sādhanā will be successful through doing good karma." And whenever you use the knowledge of any saint, or your guru-devas, then you should say that the saint said this and this. Like I am saying, it was said by that master. It’s not my knowledge, but I am using. So everybody should know, like we said, be the change you want to see. And then I don’t say anything else. I have stolen. And people will inherently laugh that this is stolen. But we should say, either before, Gandhijī said, "Be the change you want to see." Or you can say, "Be the change you want to see," said Mahātmā Gandhi. Otherwise, you are stealing the knowledge of the Gurudeva without getting that Ātmā Jñāna to understand what is the Gurudeva. Otherwise, you steal the knowledge of ātmajñāna without understanding who Gurudev is. Therefore, it is said, Gurudev, how to understand who he is? And if it is said by somebody else... So someone said, "Within you is the ocean of immortality. Within you is the fountain of joy, and within you is the immortal Ātmā. Kill this little I and live the divine life." Who said? Svāmī Śivananda. And if I only said this, I say it and I don’t mention Svāmī Śivananda, Śivanandajī, I am putting on my head an immense heaviness. But many people, they are learning a few things, and then they go and they say, "I am the master, and I can teach, and I meditate you." You are leading them into the darkness, in the jungle, thorny bushes and stones. Nowhere is the path to go further or back. There are many, many lazy pythons. They didn’t eat anything for one month. That’s it. Then such a master will be swollen by the paitan. And that disciple becomes pāitan, or talking and shouting and saying, "My knowledge, my knowledge, I teach you." Then that will become a frog. And you know how the frog, they are being... Yes. So there are many... It’s written in the Śāstras. Therefore, this all knowledge, that’s why every bhajan has a name. And which bhajan is written and there is no name, that is stolen property. So at the end we said Mahāprabhujī, Holy Gurujī, Lalanānjī, Śivanānjī. Mirabāī, Kabīrdās, Sūrdās, etc., etc. That bhakta is honest, and that bhakta will be escorted through the divine world into the Brahmaloka. That’s it. So this was not only Jesus, but many, many dedicated their lives for the sake of all creatures. And so also Jesus was crucified, and he led for the sake of the dharma. We think of him, and we pray to the Almighty Father to listen to his words and what he said. Father, even they are asuras, but they don’t know what they are doing. They don’t know. That’s it. So we have to finish, and tomorrow we will continue. Deep Nayan Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa Dev Puruṣa Mahādeva Kṛṣṇa Satguru Svāmī Madhvānandajī Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa satya-salat and dharma kī jaya.
