Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Śrī Śrī Devpurīśvara Mahādeva, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān, Satyasanātana dharma, Kī Jaya. Abhi had a very nice one-week program with many different programs and lectures. In our Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna, there are different kinds of sādhanā. The first sādhanā is when the children are making too much noise, then there is no chocolate. If they speak too much, they will see a very nice sleeping room. How nice! Thank you. And if they are still not nice, then parents have to go into the garden with the children. So, please, if the children are very little—only two or three—it is disturbing on the website webcast. And so, anuṣṭhāna. There are many different sādhanās. One is that you make a saṅkalpa. Saṅkalpa means you promise yourself that for a certain purpose—for spiritual development, for good health, for success in your examination, your study, your profession, and for good family harmony—you will undertake this practice. Most ladies are doing it for their husband, that he remains healthy and God protects him. In many ways, the wife wishes good for the husband. And the husband also makes anuṣṭhāna; he prays for his wife. Because now we are in oneness with our living. We are living lifelong together, and so we live in harmony with understanding. Śrī Kṛṣṇa, Śrī Kṛṣṇa... Always, you see that I have here this little bowl, and inside is something, let’s say chocolate or candy. When I take only one out, it will still make noise. But if there is only one inside, then it will not make any noise. This is like when we are living in one household. We have great-grandparents, and it is beautiful, it is divine, it is our ancestral grandeur, and we have the responsibility to take care of them. Sometimes there are ten children from five sons; they have children, and those children also have their children, so they are nearly eighteen. And they again get children, so they are coming to about 45. And the grandparents, who were only two—the two brothers married, and there were two wives—they multiplied, but now they are very old. Now, this family of 30-40 in the village, near the village... When it is evening in the village, everyone comes and goes to the grandmother or grandfather. You sit beside them. The grandmother or grandfather holds your hand, and they ask you, "How are you, my son? Are you okay?" etc. And they are also saying, "How is grandmother? Is everything okay?" So now this is a community, a family, a harmony, and for each other; if anyone has a problem, all try to help. If one or two children are not good, then other children, their brothers and sisters, will help them. And so the society remains very nice, happy, everything. And now it is the fifth generation, and these young couples, they are going to marry. And all these children also will go to the grandparents and take their permission: can we marry in that house, that family, etc. And what we say today is, "It’s not your problem, mommy. Grandfather, it’s not your problem. You live your life. I live my life." But we should live where there is harmony, where there is love. So when we talk about love, it’s not emotional, it’s not sex, but you live like one body. So marriage means merge; it’s like two rivers entering one ocean. So neither this river nor that river, but only ocean. Similarly, your husband and your wife—now it’s not a husband and not a wife, but the oneness. One house, one thinking, one work, one decision—that we should again bring that. Our Kali Yuga becomes for us as a Satya Yuga. That’s very important, so for that they do the anuṣṭhāna. They make particular days, and they are only praying that my family remains healthy, has a long life, and is happy, prosperous, and peaceful. For this, they are doing anuṣṭhāna. Yes? And nowadays, what are they doing? They are making anuṣṭhāna: "God, I have had enough of my husband. Please, can you free me from this person? I have enough. Please, I go to the court, but still they don’t want to let me divorce. I cannot sleep. I cannot work. Please God, this is my prayer, my anuṣṭhāna. Get rid of this person." That is also like this, and this is this Kali Yuga. So both have to understand, the husband and the wife. Both have to compromise. If someone has no husband or no wife, that is a different thing. Yes, that is another subject. Another anuṣṭhāna we are doing is for good rain, good crops, good vegetation, good water, etc. We pray every day. So when the season is coming, we are praying now for next year’s crops. We are preparing the field, but we will harvest which kind of seed? Sunflowers, corn, etc. This is our anuṣṭhāna. So we offer to God, and when we harvest, we are worshipping. The first of what comes, the crops, we offer to God. Doesn’t matter which God—Abhijanumanjī, Śiva, Kṛṣṇa, Rāma, Brahmā, Jesus, any. So that it means that we gave their part to God. We offer everything, and what we get back is a blessing. Now, there is a tradition in Europe somewhere; it is getting lost slowly, slowly. And I don’t know if they have this tradition at all in Czech and Slovak. Maybe there, but I don’t know. But Austrians, they have it. All farmers bring their crops: their corn, wheat, fruits, vegetables, pumpkins. They are decorating very nice bulls and the bull cart. And it’s very nice, and it is coming, bringing to the church. Or a priest comes, and they offer, they worship, they give to God. And we pray that next year our crops and everything should be like that. This is our sādhanā. When you go to your field, it is not just a field and these bushes, but it is your bread. That whole field is your bread. That’s it. In that way, when we work and take from nature, God helps us. Sometimes God does something we don’t understand. One year there is no proper rain, or too much heat, or too much cold. So the farmers collected, and they were blaming God. "Why, God, this and that and that? Why doesn’t God help us? Don’t put too much rain, only what we need. Not too much heat, excessive." God gives it into our hands. We are the farmers. We know what to do. God said, "OK." So they made a field. Now they said, "Now it should rain." It was raining, and then they put the seeds. And then they let it come, then not too strong sun. And now, not too much cold, and no water at that time, and the crops were growing and growing and growing, and it begins to come, the crops, and they were harvesting, but there was a seed, but not inside anything. Where the seed should be, everything was empty. So they were blaming God, "What is this? I don’t know, I was relaxed. I went on holidays, but no, what was it? There are no grains." Yes, because you wanted to have only good weather, but we need heat, the sun, humidity, hot air, and air-conditioning. From that, you can’t get that; you can’t harvest anything. So seva is the spiritual life. Let it be in nature’s hands. It was very shocking, very sounding. We were touched that Paras from Brazil said we should check all the trees so there will be no fires. In San Francisco, sorry, excuse me, in San Francisco. So, that is called our modern intellectuals, good-learned and highly educated. For what? To chip off all the trees and destroy the whole agriculture. Is this education? So Gurujī said, there are many stupid, but these are learned stupid. There is one farmer, and he has no high education, but he is so one with nature, and knows when and where to make fire, where to plant trees, crops, vegetables, etc. Because we are far away from nature, it should not be like that. So we should have an anuṣṭhāna. We pray for our vegetation. And we are putting more and more trees. Europe is a great, great continent, with great European countries. Because they are small, small countries. This small country is one family. The whole Czech Republic is one Indian family. Yeah, that’s it. And a little bigger family is like friends, and the other family is German. Yes, and some are like Hungarians. Slovenia has about two million people. That’s a small family. Now, what do I mean? We have one caste which is very big. The other caste is not so big; this is one family. So there are Rajputs, warriors, Brahmins, farmers, etc. There are many. You can’t imagine how many Paṇḍit Brahmins are there. It may be Czech, Slovak, Polish, Austrian, Hungarian, Croatian, Slovenian. This all is one little family called Brahmins. Yes, you understand me. Now they are all in harmony, and some are fighting sometimes. So, we have a small family. Now they are talking: small family, happy family. And like this, yesterday we heard, in China, only one child. Now, one child doesn’t matter, girl or boy, but I want to have my brother, or I want to have my sister. So, at least they should give the two choices. And the other Muslims, they have no other work. Children, children, children. Yes. How good. Because Islam says we follow the rules and the law of the country. But for our families, we do not follow your law. We do what our holy Bible said—not the Bible, the Koran. What Allah said, that is the highest. Okay, the local things we do. But to have more children is our choice, and so they have big families. They love children. And sometimes, if not one, then one, two, three, four, five, six, seven women can be. Yeah, oh, how nice. Seven wives, one husband. Oh, he is a poor man because the woman doesn’t go to work. No, they are at home. The work has to be done by the man. Yes, anyhow, so in countries like in Europe, it’s easy to lead together. So, you have a very good system, but I suggest you have a little more children. Otherwise, it’s going away. I have nothing against anyone, but it can happen after some centuries or lokas, what we call the yugas. So, what is called this white skin? Maybe it will be in the piece of paper. That is already the situation. In England, and other countries, people are coming. When there are ten houses on one street from different countries, then the British tried to move from this street somewhere else. So they are going back and back. Yes or no, there are some people living there. Yes? Is nobody here who is in London? Then speak, stand, eh? Eh? Who is there? Yes? Thank you. When too many Pakistanis come, or too many Indians come, or too many Nepalis and Sri Lankans, that whole street, the people will move out. Yeah. The whole market, everything is only this, and there is some other one. Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa. And so all runs away. The whole street is Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna. So, why not? Either you should learn to be together and friendly. But someone has different habits, and another has different habits. So this is the situation, and for that we do the Anuṣṭhāna. We pray to God. According to our belief, whichever God you believe in, or if you don’t believe in God, you can still have good wishes, and for that you make anuṣṭhāna. So, we have mantras in our Vedas, Upaniṣads. It is said, only there it is said, "Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinaḥ." You know that mantra? Sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ. All should be happy. If we do like this, there will be no war, only peace. We are praying for the whole world. We said that the whole world is the children of one God. And we are the family of God, so we should pray: "Sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ, sarve santu nirāmayāḥ, sarve bhadrāṇi paśyantu, mā kaścid duḥkhabhāg bhavet." These are the mantras. Then it is said, "Asato mā sad gamaya," lead us from darkness to light. We pray for the whole world. That is Sukhino Bhavantu to everything. So, but in the very... this is not easy. It is not easy. It is not easy. You may say, "Yes, we have nothing against. We are all one. We love all, everything." Okay? I don’t want to name any country, but do you feel dualities sometimes? What do you call a gypsy? Many countries are so allergic, and they try to neglect them, that they can’t come to that level. Unfortunately, do not think that the caste system is only in India; it is in many countries, many countries. America, what about the neighbors, Mexico? How big a wall are they thinking to make, and who will pay? Not America. America wants to have it from Mexico, and the wall is against them. Maybe it’s good, or maybe bad. Maybe the President of America decides it’s good. Who am I to judge the American president? I’m just telling you. So, don’t say the caste system is there. But everywhere, in Christianity there are so many different beliefs. It’s more than in India. And you see in America, how many different churches? So, this is everywhere in Kali Yuga. In Satya Yuga, there was only one dharma. A human is a human. But in Kali Yuga, now so many dharmas are coming. So many religions, and when one comes, one becomes a big master. And then that master becomes great, then the master becomes distant, and some people have to believe that the master is God, and this God, and this... God, and suddenly we establish one religion. That is not good. Dharma is one. That is called religion only. So, what will you say? You will say the Christian Dharma, or religion, and Buddhist Dharma. Hindu Dharma. Hindu Dharma. So the first name we remove, only Dharma. That’s why Jesus has no title, neither Professor Jesus, Surgeon Jesus, nor Farmer Jesus, only Jesus, Kṛṣṇa. Yes, only, it’s not Mr. Krishna, or not the pilot Krishna, but only Kṛṣṇa, only Rāma. So, that is one, that one power, and that is God. So we have to make Anuṣṭhāna. And what is Anuṣṭhāna? That Sarve Bhavantu Sukhina, all should be happy. All, including the animals. God, let all live in harmony. All live happy. Now, animals have no place to live. Rabbits, deer, and other animals have no place to live. The birds, many, many birds, have no nature in which to live. There is no place, no nature where they would live. Certain birds need certain trees. There are some birds that need a little bush, a thorny bush. And they give inside their eggs and babies. Because the snake cannot come, because there are so many thorns and this. The big birds cannot come to eat this baby. They feel so, so safe. And where are these bushes? You made, you pulled out all the bushes. And what did we do? Highway. All the way, factories, this, that. Who thinks about animals? If your house is damaged and very cold, will you sit there? Or will you search for a house from someone? But innocent animals, where can they go, where can they sit, where can they drink? And all poisons, all poisons in the field, if a bird eats them, it dies. Who is the cause of that? Human. So don’t think that we humans are like a god. See what they are suffering, the animals. For them, we shall make anuṣṭhāna. For that, we should pray, and we should give them something. The birds have only a certain time for some kinds of fruits. Then they have some different kind of food, but that thing is there. All fruits we take away. Other trees we chip up. So, what can animals eat? Where can the bees go? For that, we should do the anuṣṭhāna. So when we will be here five, seven days, when you sit in your meditation, you will do your anuṣṭhāna, and before that, we all should say together, "Sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ, sarve santu nirāmayāḥ. Mā kaścid duḥkhabhāg bhavet. Om Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ." We are not praying only for humans, we pray for all creatures, and for that we do the Anuṣṭhānam. So this time, our saṅkalpa is this. Every year we are having a saṅkalpa. The good for us is for us to save the bees, and it took this, our wish. So the European Union and the United Nations, they put this: "Save the bees and save the birds." We are doing, but there are some people who think they are, that all animals are beasts. That’s not good. So, this year, every day, not only in this Anuṣṭhāna, all creatures should live in peace, harmony, and health. God protect all. This is our Anuṣṭhāna this year. So in this way, I wish you all the best, and you have your teachers and observers, and they will take care of you. Now, in Anuṣṭhāna, we have to sit straight, a little tapasyā, austerity. But your instructor, the observer, will look at you. But two or three stand up and go out. The observer said they are very restless today. But you don’t know. These three persons, they have diarrhea. And they must go out separately. They have little air in the stomach. If they slowly try to leave the air out, it’s not air, it is the diarrhea. Or someone has something with the gallbladder, so they have to go to the toilet. We call it tolerance. And tolerance, we need also in the mechanism. So when there is something moving around, if it is together, then it can’t move. It is stuck. So there is a tolerance space, and between it is moving air. It does not make hot, etc. So all they should have also ahiṃsā. And the second thing, you have a hip joint problem, and you will say, "Don’t move, don’t move, don’t move." Yes, or someone has what you call sciatica. The sciatica pain is very, very unpleasant. So he can sit like this, can sit like this, can sit like this. It’s a very strong pain. Such people can ask the teacher. "I cannot sit here, but I will do my anuṣṭhāna under the tree." It’s okay. You can go alone and sit somewhere where you can have more movement. That’s very important. Do you understand me? So I understand you very well. Of course, we will say, "Sit straight, kāya sthaiyam, no movement, no body movement." That’s it. You say twice, "Yes, yes," but they don’t know. So anuṣṭhāna is from our heart, our inner feeling. So there are different kinds of Anuṣṭhāna. The whole nine months, the father is making anuṣṭhāna when his wife is pregnant. When his wife is pregnant, he is praying, he is helping, and in these nine months, the husband forgives the pub, that is anuṣṭhāna. So we do positively and not angrily, and at the same time there is anger. But that anger is a different anger, which we will discuss next time. So our Anuṣṭhāna this year is for all creatures, all forests. We pray that people should not kill those wild lives. Otherwise, many, many animals are disappearing. There are many birds disappearing. In India, there is only one kind of bird. And they live in the desert area. Beautiful, the big birds. People kill them, hunt them. Now there is protection. They are being protected, but unfortunately, only seven birds remained. You know, like that you have on the chimney in the house. You call the stork. So, like this, only seven birds live. And what bad luck. All seven are only female. There is no male, so it means that the birds are finished. Very much helping, very, very much trying. Maybe if there are some left. So, what are humans doing? Only because they have one hectare or more, and these birds destroy that. A little bit. That’s it. So we pray for it. That’s it. Otherwise, after will be the humans. That’s it. So either they will kill the first male, so then only the females remain. Or all females go, then males will kill each other. There must be something, but as I said last week, that we are destroying the mountains, and we are also destroying the earth with so many mines and battles, and we push into the water. So very soon, this earth will have no weight of its own. And water will come again over. Then we can’t save ourselves. No, no way. You can fly with an aeroplane, but only as long as the aeroplane has petrol. That’s all. So, when it will sink in India, again, what we talked about was how many million people died; such a big flood came in Kerala. And the Kerala people were making a kind of stand against religion. And in the middle of the city, in the middle of the market, they saw that we are powerful, political. And they brought one cow, and they killed her slowly, slowly there. And after a few days, the ocean came; all the houses, shops, everything was destroyed. And I think these people who were doing this, they are already in the mouth of the fish. So, that must never have been seen anywhere. That is called the distraction and Mahāpralaya. We hope it will not happen. And we pray, and we do anuṣṭhāna, that’s all. So-called educated people have no more brain, or no more heart. That’s it. That’s it. So, ādi oṁ.
