Beautiful tree. No, this is a beautiful tree. Nice trees. [German greetings exchanged] You have chosen the tree well. What is the name of the idea? It will be beautiful, very nice. It has a long life, right? How long does it live? About 350 years already, at least. 300? How often do we have to come back to see it? I see. Okay, good. Oh, there is something written: "Friedensbaum, wunderschön. All people’s will we turn to you. We know we are connected with the people who live in the areas of war in our world. To all, you have given the hunger and thirst for justice and the longing for peace. Eingegeben. Doch zu werden." Thank you. You’ve said enough. You’ve said a lot. First we sing a mantra. First we sing the mantra of peace. Peace, Oṁ Śānti. Oṁ Śānti means peace. Three times, take a deep breath. Oṁ Śānti, peace, peace, peace. The second mantra is for harmony, love, and understanding. Health and God’s blessings. Gāyatrī Mantra. Gayatri Mantra comes from the sun, with the sun’s light, and this Gayatri Mantra gives energy to all vegetation, water, earth, and all living beings. The mantra comes from the Vedas. The Vedas are the very first scriptures. And this mantra... leads us from untruthfulness to truth... leads us from darkness to light. Oṁ Sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ Sarve santu nirāmayāḥ Sarve bhadrāṇi paśyantu Oṁ Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ. God bless you all. Be happy, with joy, with friendship, and be all happy. God has us. We believe in your divine light through the sun. Oṁ Śānti, Śānti, Śānti. This tree stands here for us, as everyone has said, for peace. We all seek peace, but it has not yet been achieved. Day by day there is hatred and anger, and as it was said in the prayer here, the power is forgiveness and understanding. So, the tree stands here as life. The tree means for us the mother and father. This tree will stand here in any situation, no matter if the black people pass by, the dangerous animals, or rain, storm, snow, cold, or heat. In all conditions, the tree will stand here, like a mother stands for the child. No matter what happens, it is the father and mother. So this tree is peace. Second is nonviolence. Nonviolence, let’s say nonviolence, please, nonviolence, and we need that very much. Peace and ahimsā, and peace comes from our hearts, or from Mother Nature. I am very happy that we have a tree here in the middle of a beautiful park. It will stand like a mighty, mighty energy, mother energy, and father also. In the middle, many children will be very happy. There will be good shots, we will play, run around, so this tree is a happy tree. Through the mantras that I have given, this means that this tree is safe. It’s not just that I say, everyone who comes here and goes around the tree seven times and speaks your wish, it will be fulfilled. But not the negative wish. Yes, when you are jealous or hate someone, the mother says to the children, "Be calm." So these negative wishes are not fulfilled. But positive, everything: for health, for peace, for children, for husband, for wife, for families, for our nation, etc., etc. For the city of Pilak, there is a lot of laughter because it is being fulfilled. Yes, the Pīlak is now a navel. This tree is the navel for the whole universe. So there we are in the Pilak, yes. So this is a navel. And that all these chakras, all the trees, stand. I think this spot from the ground was here, waiting for this tree, and that they looked for it and selected it. That is very nice. Thank you very much. I wish you all, and yoga wants to give us all, health, joy, harmony. And so there is a tree of peace. Wonderful. Aha, it’s metal. I thought it was paper, really. Beautiful. Very beautiful. Can we take a picture? Please. Yes, of course. Please, please. Please come in the middle. Okay. Please, in the middle. And you too, please. Yes, all of you. Everyone is welcome. Come here. [Chanting:] Tṛīṃvac um yajāmaheśvagandhim Puṣṭi Vardhanam Urvā rukam mevāvandhanāt Mithyur mokṣir om triumvac um yajāmaheśvagandhim Sarveṣām pūrṇaṁ bhavantu, sarveṣām śāntir bhavantu, loka samasthā sukhino bhavantu. Nāṁ kartā, Prabhudeep kartā, Mahāprabhudeep kartā, hi kevalam. Oṁ śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ. Live long and keep to unsolent seeking, Divine Mother Nature. So please, everyone should give the Nāruṅg, the holy tree, holy bau. Oh, no, no, no.
