Celebration of Holy Guruji's Mahasamadhi

The Guru lineage and sacred geography connect us to a timeless tradition. The company of saints and the story of God are unique in this world, unlike worldly attainments which even a sinful person can obtain. The soul is immortal and maintains connections across time. This lineage flows from Satyug, from sages like Alak Purī, linked to the Alaknandā river and the Himalayas. The Vedas were transcribed by Gaṇeśa for Vyāsa. True fortune is not found in wealth, marriage, or children, for those still bring sorrow. Real fortune is the darśana of saints, which removes life's sorrows. This world is a form of sorrow; happiness is found only in connection to the divine. The establishment of this sacred site is a miracle, drawing the world to a once-unknown village.

"The company of saints and the story of God—these two things are unique in the world."

"If you want to buy sweets, do you go to the cloth shop? You want happiness, and you go to buy from the shop of sorrow. How will you get it?"

Part 1: A Divine Discourse on the Guru Paramparā and Sacred Geography Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvara, Gurur Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ. My dear friends, beloved of my Gurudev, Paramahaṁsa Anpurījī Mahārāj, this is a very divine Dhām. The father of Vāhag, the revered Gurudev Swāmī Mājvanjī Mahārāj, spent much time in sanidhyā (holy proximity) here. Therefore, I thought today, through him alone, I would tell you about that Gurudev. Aghā aghā kare chalegā inikī dvārās. Hamas Shri Ganesh curry Kanpur Ji Maharaj devim saraswatim vyasam tato jai mudir yet. I bow to all the devotees, devotees of the Lord... I feel very proud and very fortunate. I am very grateful to the Almighty God who has blessed me with such a great man. I, who have been blessed with such a great man like me... There are some things that Gurudev told me, and according to his orders, according to his instructions, I try to walk accordingly. The meaning of saying this is that such divine men who are close to God... Doi, Sutta, Dara, aur Lakshmi, Papi. Sutta means sons and daughters, Dara means women, Lakshmi means money, wealth, and prosperity. These things can also be obtained by a sinful person. But the company of saints (satsaṅga), the company of great men, and the story (kathā) of God—these two things are unique in the world. Goswāmī Tulsīdās Jī Mahārāj says... But you and I are all very fortunate that we are all receiving these two things. That is why we are all fortunate, we are all very fortunate. As Swāmījī said, in Jārdhan Āśram, I have been at the feet of Swāmījī Mahārāj for more than 20 years, 22-23 years. I am connected to you, and I am familiar with you. And anyway, this is not only our connection; this connection is coming from the tradition. Because Dev Puruṣa Mahādeva and our Param Pūjya Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī’s entire class, my Dādā Gurujī, Pūjya Svāmī Śrī Kāśī Purī Mahārāj—they have become perfect. And according to that, your and Dādā Gurujī’s love, the same love is going on till today. This is also a matter of values, a matter of great fortune. Otherwise, with some saints these days, it happens that brotherhood is also not maintained, so that is different. But what we have to say, what our values are... I don't know, because the soul is immortal, it never gets destroyed. So these souls, they have some or the other link, some or the other connection. That’s why from that time till today, from that ashram and from this ashram, there is that same attachment, love, goodwill, and your blessings are always there. Rehta hai main dhanyavad to kya kar sakta hoon, pranam karunga Swamiji ke charanarvind mein, ki main aapke saamne do baat rakhoon. So I will only say this much, I will say only this. I have no other words besides this, because I live in the proximity of such great men (mahā puruṣa), so I consider myself a very fortunate person. And my Gurudev, Swāmī Rampurījī Mahārāj, who himself had handed over my hand to Swāmījī—I stayed there for a few days. Then Gurujī called me back. He used to call me Theṭh Mārwaṛī. He said, "My son, Manavadakoni has come." Then I bowed my head to Swāmī Jī. He said, "Bābājī, if you allow me, then Gurudev is remembering me." So, I came back. But this connection and this feeling of mine towards you and towards you great men, the way it was on the first day—the same feeling in my heart, I can say it’s in my heart. Who knows about the other side, but in my heart, the feeling that was there on the first day is the same feeling that is there today. There is no fault in them, and I will let them come. This is my effort. And look, if children make any mistakes, they should apologize to the teacher. So you are a big-hearted person. You will forgive any fault of our children. I hope so. I would like to say with these words that I will consider myself lucky, that I am lucky that I have been blessed by those great men, and you have also been blessed by Śāntidūt Viśva Guru, and you are sitting in the form of Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara of our Mahānirvāṇī Akhāḍā. And in so many countries, the path that you have chosen to know yourself, the path that you have chosen, is not just for the country but for the whole world. The whole world will be yours because you have given such a great network to the whole world. So we are very fortunate that we have got a great man like you. And today also we are getting your blessings. We pray to the Gurū Mahārāj, to the Lord, that your health—we can wish for it, Gurū—it will be with your grace only. But we pray to the Lord, we pray to our Gurudev, we pray to the Iṣṭadeva, that you live a very long life and keep pouring love on such devotees, and in the same way, keep on showing us the path for the whole world. With these words at your feet, Koti Senaman, Om Namo Narayan, Pranaam. I will not speak much. This is a good time. I will give you a lot of knowledge. My dear Mr. Anpurī, I feel that you are the incarnation of Guru Nānak Sāhib. He is a great scholar and a good singer. May God bless him and keep his spiritual power increasing day by day. May God take care of all our ashrams. My dear friends, we are very fortunate that in this sacred land, we have our revered devotee Lord Śrī Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī and his many sanyāsī disciples and lakhs of disciples. At the end of his life, he was a disciple of Bhagavān Śrī Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī in 1991. He is still a disciple of Bhagavān Śrī Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī. At the end of his life, he was a disciple of his Gurudev Swāmī Madhavānand Jī, who was given the title of Hindu Dharma Saṃbhārat by the Aśā Viśvāt Samāj. I was also given the title of Viśvaguru there. Sadgurudev used to say, "Where I have counted every stone of mine, here I know every stone." And Mahāprabhujī used to stay in Śivag Āśram in Bārī Khāṭū. When Swāmījī and Gurujī were in Śivag, one year before becoming a brāhmaṇa, Gurujī said, "Maheś, this tree is my witness that here I have done so much penance, so much service to Bhagavān Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, and I can only say, or my witness will say, that Bhagavān..." Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī and Viṣṇu’s incarnation—there was no difference. Only those who know can know. And a long time ago, Gurujī wrote a very good bhajan: "The ocean of light, wealth, and nectar is the Mahādānī of Lord Śiva. The story of Lord Śiva is going on all over the world." How did Gurujī come to know that the light of Lord Śiva is going on all over the world? See, this is not a small thing. Now, the same Mahāprabhujī, he is not yours, he is not mine, he is not his, he belongs to the whole world. And through 48 times of Pratālī, through yoga, through bhajans, the teachings and knowledge of Ārādhī Bhagavān Śrī Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī spread all over the world. So even today they say that Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī is worshipped at every home. How are we? Apart from this, there are other things as well. Those who have woken up and are going, they have to have food. The kitchen is ready. All of you go and have food. You will not go after having food. You have to have food. All of you go and have food. The children should be at peace. Now I will give you a message. You will not know that. Even if you have heard it, it is not equal. Our Guru Paramparā is coming from Satyug; I will tell you about it. What is Praṇām in English? During Satyug, Alakpurījī Mahārāj was born, in whose name the river Alaknandā is flowing. It is written in Bhajan, in Kushtoho it is written as Bābājī. Brahma Nanjī Gurujī’s disciple, Mahāprabhujī’s disciple, Lāla Nanjī Mahāprabhujī’s disciple, Modā Nanjī Mahārāj, Brahma Nanjī Mahārāj, Śiva Nanjī Mahārāj, Maṅgīlāl Jī Mahārāj, and many more, Śaṅkarānanjī Mahārāj—some things are written in their scriptures. For thirteen years, I have sent my foreign devotees to the Himalayas, to go and see where Alagpurījī is or where the cave of Alagpurījī is. For 13 years, Dhrināth came in search of Badrināth. And in Badrināth, Bhagavān Badrināth Purī is there in the temple. All the priests of the temple are there. And the last village from there, which is on the border of China—the name of that village is Manā village. Beyond that, one kilometer away, there is the cave of Lord Ved Vyāsa. And there, Lord Ved Vyāsa wrote the Vedas. But his thoughts were so sharp that he asked, "Is anyone going to write like this or not?" Many sages came, but Bhagavān Vyāsa was not satisfied with them. So, who were they? He forgot. Oh ho! This is how a saint should be. Immediately, Lord Gaṇeśa came and said, "I will write the Vedas that are being written to you." It is a good thing. But Vedavyāsa Jī says to Lord Gaṇeśa, "I will speak, and you will not say a single word back." What did he say? That is, I don’t have to stop again. Vedavyāsa Jī, Bhagavān, said this. So, Gaṇeśa Jī Bhagavān says that Vedavyāsa Jī, you stopped for a second to think, so I won’t write. Now, between the two of them, what do they say? So, writing, writing, writing. And if he gets up and leaves, then the matter will be a mess. So what did Gaṇeśa do? He took out a hair. Did he take out a hair, or did he take this out? He broke his teeth and brought it. From there, he broke his teeth, and Gaṇeśa wrote the four Vedas. Now, I will say a small thing in this. Our people say that about 7,000 years ago, the Vedas were written. So the people of other countries laugh and say, "No, the Vedas are written by them with our knowledge." So Vedavyāsa Jī, he was in Pāṇḍuva’s time, and that is about 5,000 to 7,000 years ago. But the Vedas were based on Śruti and Smṛti, that it was going on the basis of yoga. Even then, people don’t believe it. Now, what has our government done? They say that yoga is 500 years old. I told Modi sir, Modi Jī, you have spoiled our culture. Is yoga 5,000 years old? It is possible that some other sage must have written it. Yoga has been written by Lord Śiva since the beginning of time. Even then, they say that it is not written by us. In Sanskrit, the book which no one has written till today is written by the Rāmāyaṇa. Who wrote it? Vālmīki Ṛṣi. And how many thousands of years, lakhs of years? One lakh and fifty-five thousand years has been written by the Vālmīki Ṛṣi. Some say that it is more than that. At that time, Sanskrit was written in letters, and there was no other writer in the world. So the Rāmāyaṇa of Tulsīdās Jī—that is why Tulsīdās did not say that he has written the Rāmāyaṇa. He has written the Rāmāyaṇa in the second language of his childhood, ṛṣi. Along with that, he was a poet and a good writer. Let me stop here. During Satyug, our Ṛṣi Alagpurī... so what is that village? There is one more thing in between. Gaṇeśa says to his Vedavyāsi, "There is a lot of noise, a lot of sound. I can’t understand you. What are you doing? What are you saying?" That which, that there is a river flowing—Vedavyāsī says that the Sarasvatī river should be stopped. If you go there, you can still see the Sarasvatī River. It flows into the forest, into the mountains, into the earth. And where does it come out? It comes out in the Prayāg. Isn’t it? Go to Gaṅgā, Yamunā and Sarasvatī. So the mountain of the Himalayas, which is about 30 km long, its name is still there today. You can see it on Google; it is written Alagpurī Glaciers. Alagpurī Glaciers. It means glaciers. Now everything is melting. This was written by Vālmīki along with Kālidāsa. But I am telling you this after the story. Kālī Kālī Dās has written a book called Megh Dūt. It is a Megh Doot book. And in that book, Kālidāsa has repeatedly written about Alagpurījī. And he writes about the kingdom of Alagpurījī, the kingdom of Alagpurījī. And at that time, there are many great glaciers of Alāgapurī, Nārāyaṇa, Svargārohiṇī, everything is there. So Kubera, who is God’s Kośādhyakṣa (Treasurer). So, he came from Sri Lanka with Ravana’s crown, crown, crown. Kubera. So Kubera is there. And where Alagpurī is, there is a river that comes out of the glacier. Its name is Alaknandā. What is Alaknandī? It is Alaknandī. One is Lakṣmī River, and the other one is Alak. There was a disciple of Ālagpurī. What is the name of that Śakti Devī, my friends? Her name was Nanda Devī. And when Pārvatī Jī wanted to marry Lord Śiva, she went to Nanda’s forest and did penance there. Since then, she has become one with Pārvatī. So that, Devī, I am telling you, when they were looking for Pārvatī, where is she? So they said she is in Nanda Van. And which is Nanda Van? She is Nanda Devī. Our Mahārāj Śrī is very wise and does very good words of Śiva Purāṇa. Today, for one day, it cannot be so complete. It is not possible, but when our Om Āśram will be inaugurated, then through you, the story of Śiva Purāṇa will be told. So in that time, Nanda Devī was feeding cows. Then a lion came to kill the cow. So Nanda Devī came in the form of a cow. The lion was attacking. So Nanda Devī, in the form of a cow, says, "Wait, you will eat me, you will beat me." But one condition is that after I go, my Gurudev’s river, which is running, in this my name should also remain. Since then, what has become? Alak Nanda. How did Alak Nanda become? It is in the name of Nanda Devī. And that Nanda Devī is the one who worships our Śravaṇa kī Tej, who does Vrat, who is very famous in Jaipur, who is that Devī. So this Alaknandā Devī, from here comes Bhagīratī, and from here comes Nandā Devī, Alaknandā Devī, so both the rivers meet—where did I forget—Devaprayāg. In Devaprayāg, Gaṅgā comes from here and Alakanandā comes from here. So we have seen that Alaknandā’s water is more than Gaṅgā. It’s okay. From there, it is considered to be full of Gaṅgā. It is believed to be God. So there, now from my Āyā, while researching, I found in a cave that this is the cave of Devapurījī. And beyond that, Devapurījī, who is our great-grandfather Gurudev, Mahāprabhujī’s Gurudev, he did penance near Swargarohini. In the Himalayas, which is 5,000 meters high, you will find the cave of Dev Purī Jī. If you go there, you will find out about Devpurījī. There, Devpurījī was seen by a different Purījī. Devpurījī was seen by a different Purījī. And from there, there are many types of powers, many types of siddhas. Part 2: The Lineage of Alak Purī Alak Purījī gave it to Dev Purījī. Dev Purījī used to walk on rocks. He used to walk on air; he used to walk on water. What all Dev Purījī could not do, many of you know it. He used to come to class, and he used to walk on the rocks. So from there, our tradition—our tradition—there was Alak Purījī. What was his name? Alak Purī. So our ten names of Purī are not from here only. They are Ādi, Anādi. From there, from Satyug, the Purī language or Padma is given: Alak Purī. So Alak Nanda. I have visited Alak Nanda Purī three times. I went once and stayed in the cave for two nights. There were five to ten of us. We were saying the Āratī in the cave. One of our foreign disciples was standing outside. He saw that the mountain in front of him was lit up. I saw that the sky was clear, the stars were visible, there were no clouds, there was no lightning, but there was something of the ṛṣis and munis. The second time when I came, the CEO of Badrinath made me a good friend, or whatever he said. He said, "Swamiji, don’t set fire here till this date." I said, "Why?" I don’t know why, but we don’t set fire until that date. If you go, I said I will stay there for four days, what will you eat? So he gave me 10 kg of dry fruits. What are these dry fruits? These are dry fruits or cow’s milk. Okay, there are cashews, almonds, dates, various kinds. We call them dry fruits. He gave me 10 kg. He gave me five to ten people; they had bought vegetables. Eight policemen were also with me. I said, we will eat dry fruits. He said, "Don’t sleep till midnight." Even there, I saw many miracles. When I came back from there, I bowed my head to Gurudev. I said to Alak Purījī, "God, please forgive me. I slept in your cave. Please let me go out from your feet. I don’t want to fall into your cave. There is no one who can save me from death." There is a story, everyone. Bābājī narrated a story about a thief. There was a thief in the kingdom of a king. A thief was stealing again and again. The king and everyone were worried. Then a great man came—Aishwarya, a scholar, a very powerful man, a miracle. So he came, Mahārāj, and told a story. After that, the king said, "He is a very great man, a miracle, like our Kanpurījī." So he said, "Bābājī, there is a problem in our village. There is a thief who has caught something." He was worried. He said, "Okay, Bābājī, catch the thief." Okay, I will catch it. He invited everyone, gave satsaṅg, and said that tomorrow there will be food, and everyone has to be fed. He invited everyone, even the people of the nearby villages. Then the king and the mahātma came. The king said, "Look, this mahātma is very miraculous, and I don’t want to hide it from you. He is so miraculous that he could have caught the thief." Everyone looked at him like this. After that, what did he say? He said, "Bābjī, don’t catch me." I said, "Okay, Bābu was caught by the thieves." Everyone sat down. Mahātma jī said, "If you have committed a theft, you need something. But now tell them that I have committed a theft. They will not even bring your things back. And I will tell the court that they will not punish you. Whatever you have, raise your hand. Whatever it is, raise your hand." No one said anything. Many types of Mahārāj said, with love, no one raised their hand. So after that, what happened? Mahārāj said, "Surrrrrrrr, my hand was like this. We did Surrrrrr, we did Surrrrrr,... we did Surrrrrr. Did Surrrrrr, we did Surrrrrr, we ... did Surrrrrr." They say, "Still speak, those who are thieves, if not, then we will catch them." No one said he is sitting quietly. Then what did Mahārāj Jī do? He went, his coat is burning, of the thief. One thief caught him. The thief is caught like this, that my coat is not burning, that he is a thief. So in this way, this happens. So there are many types of powers. There are many types. So I said to Bhagavān, "I went and ate dry fruit." One day I ate, the next day my police guard said, "Bābjī Mahārāj Jī, I don’t eat this much every day. Give me rotī khāwar." Now they don’t light the fire. There was a hut of a Mahātmā in front. I said, "Go and give Rs. 5000 to Mahārāj Jī. And if there is any problem, then bring it." So what I mean to say is that there is so much power there. We came from here to there to Alak Purījī. Now our Gāḍī of Alak Purījī is here. Now, this is the foundation of our entire Guru Paramparā. Now Alak Purījī has come here. It seems that Alak Purījī is feeling a little confused. He said, "Himalaya and Alak Purījī." So see, my dear friends, this is an introduction for me. Not an introduction, a miracle. It is a miracle. Alak Purījī has come here. So Alak Purījī’s Alak Nanda river has also come here. Hasn’t Gaṅgājī’s water come here? Hasn’t it come out of the garbage? Tell me, that Alak Nanda has come here only, and what else do you want? And Alak Purījī has also come. So, friends, this is called Guru Paramparā. And Guru is that Paramparā which has been going on with the saints since the Satyug. So, today we have come, we are very fortunate, and we have been established here. This is samādhi. You have come, you will get that miracle which I have got. This is the wish of ṛṣis and munis. So, friends, now someone is telling me that I have to eat, I have to eat, but now I have the desire that our great, respected—this is also a Viśvavandhanī saint, Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara, my Akhāḍā’s—now he also goes to America, where did he come from, Europe, he was also in Europe, there he used to run a kathā. I said, "What is Katha? What is Katha?" He does not tell me. He says Katha is those 18,000 ślokas. I said, I will also listen to 18,000 ślokas of Kathā. But he completes it in seven days. I have been living abroad since childhood. 18,000 ślokas are written in Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, and you don’t even speak the whole thing in 7 days; you just sing. Chote chote gāyā, chote chote gvār. And when you go home, you don’t bring small cows, you go to catch them. Thank you very much. And if there is sorrow, then there will be sorrow. So, with the invitation of our Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Śrī, we will talk about Jñānāmṛta, about Śakti, about Gaṅgā, and about the samādhi of the saints. After this, you all can have your food, and then we will continue. So, on behalf of Chittimāranand Jī Mahārāj, I pray to the Lord to give us some Jñānāmṛta. Now, we will speak for 15 minutes. After this, we will continue with the bhajan. Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ. Sat Cit Ānanda Bhagavān Kī Sanātana Dharma Kī Namah Pārvatī Pataye Harā Harā Akhil Gauḍī Brahmāṇḍa Dhināyaka Parāt Para Tat Tu Parabrahma Paramātmā Tathāvunika Vinnāsuru Sadgurudeva Bhagavān Ke Caraṇam Anantaśa Praṇāma Yahā Siddha Pīṭha Mein Virajamāna Sabhī Santa Mahāpuruṣon Ke Ina Savād Īṣṭhala Ko Praṇāma Naman Hare Paramādaranīyā Parampūjyā Anantaśrī Vibhūṣita Śānti Dūdha Viśvaguru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara, Svāmī Maheśvarānanda Purījī Mahārāja, Paramādaranīya Parampūjya Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara, Śrī Svāmī Viveka Purījī Mahārāja, Our Paramādarśanī, who you were giving beautiful teachings with sweet words, Kānpurī Jī Mahārāja, all the saints, you all, Bhagavad Bhaktā, Parvārtha, Patika, Sajjanu, Evag Matāo. I will not take much time. I would like you to listen to the request that I would like to make peacefully, and then we will all eat together. We will not take much time. In Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, it is said that if you sit for a little while, then all of us will go. Listen carefully. Śrīmad Bhāgavatam says that when the virtues of infinite births are ready to bear fruit together, what happens when you are ready to give your life? This is what I want to request you. What is your greatest fortune? I want to tell you that. Bhagavadkāra says that in infinite births, not in one birth, but in many births, in different births, when the good deeds, good deeds are ready to bear fruit together, then the person gets the darśana of the saints in life. What can be greater than this? We consider others to be like this. Sometimes, many people say that the one who has wealth is fortunate. We consider it like this in the village. The one who has money is very fortunate that he has a lot of wealth. Sometimes we consider someone who is married to be fortunate. We consider it like this. Even after marriage, I cry a lot, but first we consider it like this. He is very fortunate that he got married. Then, the one who has a child, we say he is very fortunate that he has a child. If you sit for a little while, I request you for two minutes, I won’t take much time. If you turn off the phone, it will be very good. We only want to hear what we want to hear. It will be very good. So sometimes in the village, we all believe that the rich are fortunate, the son is fortunate, the one who got married is fortunate; the one whose name is fortunate. The one who got married is fortunate; the one who got respect is fortunate. We believe this, but if you ask the saints, they say that none of them is fortunate. Why? Tell me one thing. If a person is wealthy, will he be sad or not? Tell me. If he is wealthy, will he be sad or not? He will be. If he has a child, will he be sad or not? Tell me. He will be. If he has name, fame, respect, will he be sad or not? He will be, and those who are married, they are sad. There is no need to say. So Dhanavān is also sad, Santānavālā is also sad. Vibhāvita is also sad, Nāma Yaśavālā is also sad, so how is this fortunate? Okay, can we consider the person who is sad as fortunate? No, we can’t. That’s why the saints say, Devarṣi Nārada Jī said, none of them is fortunate. So who is fortunate? Bhaagya odayena bahujanma samarjitena satsaṅgam aṅgchalabhate puruṣo yadavai. Jis samaya para āpa apane jīvana me santon kā sānnidhya prāpta karate ho, taba āpa bhāgyaśālī māne jāte ho. Samajha me ā rahī hai, ananta janmo kī pūrṇī jaba ikhaṭṭe hue. To āpa sabase baḍe bhāgīśālī hue, main āpa se kahatā hūṁ ke āpa kitane bhāgīśālī hoṁgī. Āpake bhāgyoṁ kī tulnā koī nahīṁ kar saktā, that you have seen such a great saint who has a beautiful tradition, and today you are seeing these saints. There is no one like you. If you are understanding this, then I would like to request one more thing from you. If you are seeing these saints and considering them to be fortunate, then, whatever you say today will be acceptable. But never say in your life that your fate is bad. Because your fate is so good, kismat hai? Itnī acchī kismat hai ki santon kā darśana kara rahe hain. Is se badhiyā aura kyā āpako bhāga cāhiye, kyā kismata cāhiye? Siddha pīṭha mein āpa viraja māne. Kisī ne pūchā ki santa mila gaye, to kyā phayadā? Kyā santon kī milane kī bāda me duḥkha nahīṁ hotā? Nahīṁ hotā. Kaise nahīṁ hotā? Devarṣi Nārada jī kehte hain ki jīvana mein duḥkhī to sab hai. Nānaka, duḥkhīā, sab sansāra. Koī bhī aisā nahīṁ jo duḥkhī na ho. Sab duḥkhī hai. Aur duḥkhī bhī hain, aura duḥkha se chhūṭane kā upāya bhī kara rahe hain. Aisā nahīṁ hai ki duḥkhī hain, to ghara mein baiṭhī huā hain. Bhagdaur kara rahe hain, mehanata kara rahe hain ki duḥkhī hama na ho, hama duḥkha se bacha jāyeṁ, duḥkha se chhūṭa jāyeṁ. Ye citanī bhāgdāura hama loga kara rahe hain, sab duḥkha se bachane kī liye kara rahe hain. Lekin itanī mehanata karane ke bāda me bhī duḥkha se hama bacha nahīṁ pā rahe hain. Jitanī mehanata, why? Because he is working hard in the wrong place. He is not working hard in the right place. We want to be happy in this world. Which world? Which is the form of sorrow itself. We want to be happy in the world of sorrow. Okay, let me ask you one thing. If you want to buy Rasagullā, do you go to the cloth shop? Tell me, tell me. No. Where do you go? You go to the sweet shop. If you want to buy vegetables, do you go to a store in Lohār? No, because if you want to buy vegetables, you will go to a vegetable shop. You have so much understanding, so much knowledge, so much knowledge that you know which thing is available where, and you go to buy it at that place. But you want happiness, and you go to buy from the shop of sorrow. How will you get it? How will you get it? This world is a form of sorrow. And you want to get happiness from it. It can never be found. That’s why when you see the history of the world, then in the history of the whole world, you will not find a single person who can say that we are happy to have found the world and we are dying to be happy. We will not get even one. And to leave the world and to attain Bhagavān, we will not get even one of those who will say that I am dying to be a sādhu. Whether it is Mīrā, Narasī, or Tulsī, it is a beautiful tradition. Why? Because Bhagavān is the form of happiness. Ānanda Sursachira Ānanda Rūpāya viśoda patyā dhetavetā patre vināśāya śrī kṛṣṇāya vayamnumā jo ānanda sinda sukha rājī bhagavān ānanda svarūpa hai to santōṁ ke milane se jīvana ke duḥkha miṭa jāte haiṁ, kyoṁ? Because saints give you such understanding. They make you know that if you leave the shop of sorrow and introduce yourself to the shop of happiness, then there can never be sorrow in your life if you remain connected to these saints. If... You continue to believe in these saints. You are very fortunate that Siddhapeetha was created here. You are seeing the place where so many saints and great men are worshiped. Pūjā Mahārāja, who is the name of them all over the world. I went abroad in the name of Mahārāja. What can I tell you about their respect and fame? But it is their simplicity that they are sitting in your village. We heard a saying, in the jungle there is a maṅgala. Coming here from Bombay, I can see with my own eyes that Pūjā Mahārāja, Viśvagurūjī Mahārāja, Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Jī Mahārāja have made a fire in the jungle. See, you call it a miracle. You call it a miracle. It is not any other miracle. It is the same miracle. It is the effect of this miracle that the country and the world, where all the people have come here. Are you seeing? This Swāmījī has come here from Kurukṣetra. How many foreign devotees have come here? I also live in Mumbai, but this avatar is due to Swamiji’s love and grace. Due to his love, and love, I also went here. This is what the miracle says: that in a small village, whose name no one knew, that village was also enlightened in this way, made bright, made divine, that the whole world is coming here. This is a wonderful miracle. What else will you see? Tell me. You were listening to Swamiji, that Ālakapurī brought Ālaknandā here. Ālakāpurī Mahārāja brought the river here. This miracle has not ended yet. If Mahārājaśrī is here, they have brought a different Nandājī. So, Pūjya Viśvagurujī Mahārāja is also pulling all. You will experience happiness and bliss in your life. I believe so. I also got the opportunity to come on this beautiful and divine occasion. Thank you very much to Pūjā Mahārāja. In Vācārika Mahākumāra, Mahārāja had come on my request. I was very happy. And today, I am experiencing myself even more happy by coming here. And by coming here, I am getting a lot of happiness. I am feeling very good. By seeing your faith and feelings, time is up. I will not take much time. That’s all I say, and give rest to my speech. Thank you very much.
