Hari Om. Praṇām, Viśvagurujī. Praṇām, dear brothers and sisters, special guests, and everybody who is here to attend this first official satsaṅg in Nădlac, in the whole country of Romania, with our dear Viśvagurujī. Dear Viśvagurujī, dear brothers and sisters, all the guests and all the friends, we are now here at the first official satsaṅg of Yoga in Daily Life, under the guidance of Viśvagurujī, not only in the Nădlac locality, but also in Romania. I would like to invite Mr. Vlad Soverell, Professor Vlad Soverell from Bucharest, the Sanskritologist who pays a lot of attention to the program. Mr. Soverell has not yet arrived. Mr. Mayor, please come to this side, because this is going live to the whole world. So, take your chair to the other side. This cable you cannot pull; no, no, take this whole thing. The Mayor will come here. Good. And tell them, it goes live to the whole world. Yes, live in the whole world, everywhere—America, Australia, everywhere. So, congratulations. Viśvagurujī, we would like to express our gratitude to these two children and especially to their instructor, Kristina Jukan. She is the daughter of our dear Jaya Devī, and she made all this possible. Grandmother. Thank you, and grandchild. So, only one dance, or one more? Just one. Okay. So, girls and boys, come on, take one flower. Everyone, take one. Please, take any flower which you like. Keep it at home as a memory. Very good dancing. Both boys are strong boys. Very good. So, dear Viśvagurujī, the floor is yours. Thank you. I think it’s Mr. Mayor. Oh, Mr. Mayor. Yes, he’s here sitting. Okay, so once more, a very warm welcome to our esteemed guest, Mr. Mayor Yohan Radomirginian. Thank you for the beautiful walk and the attention you are giving us, and all the help with organizing this event. Without you, there are many things that wouldn’t have been able to happen. We are very much grateful for your support, and now the floor is yours. Dear Viśvagurujī, Andrea, dear guests, honored audience, after a walk through the city and the Central Park, we end this beautiful and exciting day with a festive and instructive lecture by Viśvagurujī, a distinguished personality in the world of yoga, who has loved to honor our city with his presence. This manifestation seems to continue in the course of some outstanding activities that make clear the open spirit of our city, where good understanding between people, regardless of their ethnic, religious, or cultural affiliation, can find a common denominator. The city of Nădlac, the main gateway to Romania, is known in our country as well as abroad as a multicultural, multi-ethnic, and multi-confessional city. Due to this character, but especially due to the good coexistence between Romanians and Slovaks, our city has been the host of several events with international participation. I mention only two: the Slovak Folk Festival, Cez Nadlakie, which this year will reach its 20th edition, and in 2013 we were the organizers and hosts of the International Conference "210 Years of Romanian-Slovakian Coexistence: Nădlac Model of Culture," organized under the auspices of the Prime Ministers of Romania and Slovakia. Today and in the coming days, Nădlac will be the center of union, this time not only between nationalities or confessions, but primarily the union of mind, body, and spirit. These days can be compared to a journey of hearts open to experience, connection, and yoga. A journey in which we bring together happiness, love, and yoga to create friendships, memories, and life experiences. All this is possible due to the fact that between May 31st and June 3rd, Nădlac is the host of the International Yoga Seminar with Viśvagurujī, to whom we once again wish a warm welcome, and thus we have the joy and the honor to have him among us. Yoga is, in fact, an ancient Indian practice characterized by meditation and physical exercises, which can improve the body’s flexibility, can significantly reduce stress, and can generally improve the state of health. Yoga stipulates that spirit and body can be put into a union and equilibrium so intense that they create one element. I am convinced that after these four days of meditation and physical exercises, the participants of this seminar will also reach this balance, or at least will be more relaxed. I thank you all, and I wish you a nice evening. So now, dear Viśvagurujī, we are very honored to hear your words of wisdom and feel your presence here. Thank you. Śānti, śānti... salutations to the cosmic light, Lord of our hearts, omniscient and omnipresent. In His divine presence, dear sisters and brothers, the respected mayor of this city, I welcome you all and bless you all in the name of the Supreme. This big, beautiful city—I was flying over this country, and especially this city, I think a hundred times, always flying from Austria to India and from India to Austria. If I fly five times, I fly ten times over this country, coming and going. When looking at the screen of the aeroplane, where Romania was, flying from this way to Hungary and Vienna. For many years, nearly, let’s say, forty-two years, I have had a relationship and disciples in this country. But physically on the ground, on your beautiful, holy ground of your country, God gave me the opportunity to walk on this earth here. Today, there are many practitioners and organizers of Yoga in Daily Life from all over Europe here today. Dear ones, there are 8.4 million different creatures. 8.4 million different kinds of creatures, divided into three parts: Jalchar, thalchar, and nabhachar. It means the creatures in the water, creatures on and under the earth, and the creatures in the space. All are the light of God, only one God. May we call Him Holy Father, or we say the Supreme, or the Brahman. We all are the light of one God. The body doesn’t matter. Different kinds of life, but their life as a living being is only one, that which is connected to that one God. If you don’t believe in God, then this light of the sun—we are all connected to this sunlight. If you don’t believe in the sun, then this endless universe, the sky, and if you don’t believe that, then you are lost. So, we are all one. Every creature has parents and children. They love them. We planted today a beautiful tree. It’s called the World Peace Tree. So we were choosing this place for this tree, and we dug a hole to put the tree there. So, with our dear mayor, myself, and many others, we planted this tree. We put earth, and we gave water. This tree will last long, very long—generations and generations. But when we gave the water, there, where we planted the tree, there was a residence of the ants, which have little eggs, little babies, and themselves. Where we put so much water, in their residence, their palace, the ants took their babies’ eggs and immigrated. They emigrated to another castle here. And how disciplined they were. They had to choose one path here, and only they took it. About 20 cm, unfortunately, without knowing, some people stepped on it, and I hope that they did not die, the ants. So we made a barrier for that. So let these ants go emigrating from that castle to this castle. All the highnesses and princes and princesses were walking there. They have the same feeling that we have. They have the same five elements as we have. They feel the pain, or if their leg is broken, they feel the pain as we do. We all think we are a big creature. After a few thousand meters height with a telescope, we can’t see us. We look like little ants. Imagine, what are we in the whole universe? We can kill and destroy other creatures. Mother, the first God is the mother, and the first pain feels the mother. So, it doesn’t matter if it’s an animal mother, ant mother, fish mother, bird’s mother—doesn’t matter, mother is a mother. If we cause pain to the children of that mother, the pain goes into the womb of the mother. She feels the pain, but she can’t do anything. She has no strength, no power to fight against us. So, my dear ones, we are human. Animals can make a mistake, but we as humans, we also make many mistakes, and we cannot avoid, while walking, to kill some creatures. But at least if we are aware, we should not do this. So, of course, the father is also sad. Mother loves the child that much, father loves that also. Then comes the vegetation. This tree is life. This tree gives us oxygen, it gives the fruits, it gives shelter, and not only to the human. Millions of creatures are on this tree. This tree is a mother. It is said, Sarvar is a lake, just half a kilometer far. You have a beautiful lake for your beautiful fish. But I hope nobody is fishing. Then it’s a sin. But this lake is holy, holding water for all life. Water is life, bōdha jīvōt. Jal jahā̃ Jagdīś, where there is water, there is God, the life. Sarvar Tarvar, Tarvar is a tree, and this tree is standing here. In every circumstance—storm, rain, hills, the ice falling down the hills, the hot, the dry—in all these circumstances, this tree stands here for us. Therefore, this tree is the holiest. The second or third is the rain. We don’t know, perhaps, what rain means. Can you imagine? In a few years, there will be no rain. What will be our condition? So the rain is God. Rain doesn’t make any difference. If it is raining here, somewhere is a dirty place, somewhere there are thorns, and somewhere there are flowers and beauty. Rain will fall on everything, everywhere. God does not make differences, and similarly, a holy saint is also the embodiment of the Supreme. They are only here for the sake of all creatures. So beautiful are our forests, our grass, everything, the whole vegetation. God has given us to live here peacefully, in harmony. O man! O human! God gave you a beautiful and brilliant intellect. God gave you all kinds of facilities. God said, don’t tell my child that you are poor. You are not poor. God said, "I gave you the hands, beautiful two legs, eyes, ears, words, voice, etc. I gave you everything. Why do you think that you are poor? Why do you think you are poor, my son?" Health. Pahalā sukha nirogī kāyā. The first happiness is good health. Money cannot make you healthy. Money you cannot eat. You have to develop yourself, yourself, gain yourself, your health. Good nourishment. Our nourishment. That’s very important. And then it is said in yoga, second, atha yogānuśāsanam. Yoga needs discipline. Discipline, it means atha, means just now. Don’t say, "Tomorrow I will decide." Just now. Give up killing animals. You know the pain, my dear? If someone were to cut your neck, would you feel the pain? Don’t you think that other creatures also feel the pain? Think yourself. So practicing yoga gives you physical health, mental health, social health, and spiritual health. So that this divine soul of the human will merge into the cosmic one. Otherwise, these 8.4 million different creatures, they are born, coming and going, birth and death, birth and death. That’s called the cycle of birth and death. Will we be free one day? We cannot tell that, "I will liberate you." You will liberate thyself. So practice āsanas, physical exercises, prāṇāyāma, the breath exercises, and āsanas for developing your muscles, blood circulation, joints, etc., etc. So, lead a healthy, happy life. Don’t listen to others. Don’t criticize. God gave the mouth to speak good words. Who are we to judge someone? God is judging. If you think that someone is a bad person, first ask yourself, how are you? It is said that one is a sinner, and we will kill, we will throw stones at him. So they brought one sinner, and all many people like you are sitting, they circle around, and there are many stones in their baskets that we will throw the stone on this man or woman to kill her. One person said, "Came the voice of God." God said, "Careful, the first stone will that one throw who is not a sinner." Who is the sinner? Drop the stone. No one said that I am not a sinner. Everyone throws the stone down. So my dear, we also make mistakes. But if you can support someone, your mistakes, your sins will be purified. Otherwise, you will suffer. And what do you call it in Christianity? Going forever in hell. I told you, I think today or yesterday, that now, as they said, in a few days there will be a kind of festival of eating dogs in China. Unfortunately, we can’t stop them. We have no power. But what they develop, I don’t know why. They had a strong dog. Then they put it with a chain, they brought it in a little space, and one was holding it with a chain, and the other one had a gas bottle, and with a gas flame, he was burning the mouth of the dog. You can’t imagine. If you are near, you will immediately give a slap on the cheek of this man and free this dog. But no one can help. The burning in that mouth which was criticizing, which was speaking bad words, in that mouth, that was the flame going inside. But who am I, or you, to tell that this is a sinner? But this is the karma that comes back. Therefore, if you know, and you know that Jesus, when he was crucified, he didn’t see it. All stupid people, all devils, Jesus didn’t see it. He endured all the pain, but he said, "Father, they are innocent." They are not guilty. Don’t kill them. And so, Father, forgive them, also them who are doing these things. So if someone did some wrong, you should become their Jesus in your heart. Father, forgive him, or forgive her, or forgive this dog, or other creatures. Because human life has only one milestone to cross, only one milestone to come to heaven. If you miss this one milestone, back into hell. Wake up, do good things, love everyone, be kind to all, and if you can’t do anything, at least don’t cause pain to any creature. About exercises of yoga, prāṇāyāmas, āsanas, mudrās, bandhas, kuṇḍalinīs, etc., that’s also good, very good, but as I am on that position of that realization, that achievement, I always bring the love to all, as Jesus we call. Jesus is the incarnation of love. But not only your mother or father. Love your next. It means not that you love your wife and your husband. God doesn’t tell you to love your wife, or your wife will not say to husband. It is natural that you are respecting your wife, you are respecting your husband, but love your next one, means all creatures, all creatures. So my dear, I am very happy to see you. Some came after a long time. I am all the time either in an aeroplane or the car, or at a lecture and the hotel, but my thoughts, always you are in my heart. Dar gândurile și sentimentele mele sunt că toți sunteți cu mine în inima mea. Om̐ Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ.
