First of all, yesterday, after our chanting of the Mahāmṛtyu Jaya Mantra, our dear boy, dear Tārā’s son, was feeling better today, and he even had breakfast. So it demonstrates the power and effect of the mantras. Let us chant the Mahāmṛtyu Jaya Mantra five times again for him. The other form of Brahmā is resonance, which is the supreme Brahman. The words we pronounce carry great meaning. If you speak very sweet and good words to someone, you receive feedback mentally and through the vocal cords. It reaches your body, mind, emotions, and so on. And if someone speaks very bad words, then for days and days you suffer, you are angry, and within yourself you create immense hate. Therefore, it is said: Speak such words that make you very happy. "Oran ku śītal kare, apu śītal hoi." You make others very happy and relaxed, and the reflection comes back to you, so you also feel very happy. So, the mantra has a great effect. These mantras come from very ancient times, from the great saints and siddhas. They carry such a voice and experiences that they have a positive effect—on the earth, on the air, on the fire, on the environment, on the water, on the animals, and on humans. So it creates a very pleasant effect. If you speak nicely to a plant, the plant will be very happy. I tried this myself as a kind of experiment. In my room, we sleep—though how many nights do I actually sleep there? I think I sleep more in Vārāṇasī or in Śrīlaṅgā. But anyway, there is a beautiful plant we got from India, which we call champā. It has a beautiful, beautiful smell. Just one flower here, and the whole hall becomes filled with a very pleasant scent. But that plant was losing its leaves, and various small creatures were coming. Leaves always come and fall. Then our dear Mānsā Devī began to give love to this plant, spraying it with a positive, nice spray—not chemical. And when we go away, then bhakti and līlā take care of it. You cannot imagine how happy that plant is now. Big, big leaves, and it began blossoming—leaves and flowers. So for me, this was an experiment. Even these trees, if we take care of them, they will be healthier. And you can speak to them, not only mentally. Similarly, animals too—dogs, cats, horses, buffaloes, tigers, all creatures. There are two kinds of voice or words that come from us. They should come from love. Now, when we go walking in summer, there is a dog here. The dog is there with his master, and the dog comes buckling and might bite. But if you simply, with love, let him smell your hand, even the wildest dog will become your friend. Birds also, but they will not come too close. They are very, very intelligent. They are not stupid, because they know you might catch them and put them in a cage. But the birds will come more to your house, your flat, or your garden, especially if we give them something to eat. Similarly, when we go and sit on the beach of the ocean, the sound of the water, the waves, makes us so happy and very relaxed. Such a situation has healing power. Most diseases develop in our body either from wrong food or from negative thinking—anger, jealousy, hate, disliking someone—which creates tension within the body. It goes into the muscles, then into the nerves, then into the glands, then into the hormones, and spreads throughout the whole body. In certain centers, these kinds of cells die in some glands, and that creates disease. When a mother is pregnant and she knows she is pregnant, she begins to talk to her child, the embryo. She does not wonder if the child will be a boy or a girl; she does not care about that. But that embryo is your child, and that brings good feelings. At that time, the mother’s nourishment should be very sāttvic—no alcohol, no drugs, no eggs, no dead bodies, no flesh, and pure food, milk. Also, cheese is not good because it is old. The oldest you can have is yogurt; that’s all. So milk, butter, and curd—that’s all. Many problems come from cheese. Of course, in European countries, here and there, there is a lot of milk and cheese, and because of the climate, you freeze things and make cheese and so on. But it is not healthy. And you do not know what is accumulating in those chakras you have. The maximum you can do is make paneer. They heat the milk, then add lemon, so the milk separates, and they think it is like cheese. But that is also not healthy. So we are transforming that milk into a state that is not good for our body. Still, some people eat it, okay, once a year. That’s all. So, fresh food, fresh milk, fresh air, and fresh thoughts—there will be no disease coming. But disease begins from the mother’s body: what the mother eats, and how the father behaves toward his wife. So both boy and girl need such harmony, knowing that you have one divine soul. Therefore, nourishment is very important. Now, there is a person who gave me an experience. Who is that? There are two; you know one. You know Gulabjī Kotharī from India—he has been here many times, also in Jadan, in Strilky this year. You know him. And you know what happens? He likes to have different dress materials. So he comes to Vienna and buys a shirt. Then he takes it, and later sends it back to Vienna, to Saroj and Sāgar Purī, saying, “Please, it is too small, one size bigger.” Then they exchange it and send it back, and then they say it’s too big. In one year, still they said, “Please go to that shop and change this.” So one dress was changed four or five times over two years. He said, “Swāmījī, please take it with you and give it to Sāgar Purī.” They have a very nice shop in Vienna called Om Namo Nārāyaṇa. The name of the shop is Om Namo Nārāyaṇa—a beautiful mantra. Om, you know. Om Namo Nārāyaṇa—Nārāyaṇa is Brahman, is Viṣṇu. Om Namo Nārāyaṇāya. Namo means my salutation, so Om, surrendering to the Supreme. If someone passes by and sees written “Om Namo Nārāyaṇ,” that mantra already enters their mind. Anyway, he came to one; he had a very heavy body and a little dog, coughing and so on. Then an Ayurvedic doctor came, Dr. Ayurveda. He changed his diet. I think he has already lost 30 kilos. And they looked so much healthier, their skin and everything. The second person is in the daily āśram. He is a member of our trust, and many of our people know him. He was very heavy, so he couldn’t sit properly. He was always leaning against the pillar. One day, he had a problem with his heart and other things, so he went to the Ayurvedic doctor in Delhi. The doctor said, “What you are eating, stop. Don’t eat that anymore. Eat only what I tell you.” He spoke so nicely psychologically that the man said, “Okay, I will eat only what the Ayurvedic doctor tells me.” He went home, turned around all his kitchen habits, and within two months, when I came back to the Delhi Ashram, he had already lost 25 kilos and felt healthy and strong. The steps, he is still continuing. So I would say to many of us sitting here, we should give up the way we are eating. Then what should we eat? That I don’t know. Why do I have to go to the doctor? But the thing is, he said, do not store your food in the fridge. This is the first: no cheese, no old yogurts, and organic vegetables, etc., etc. The soup, and when to eat, and when not to eat. There is a body principle, and the body principle is connected to the sun’s movements. So what we should eat in the morning, we should not eat the same thing in the evening. The morning diet is different for the body to digest. Lunchtime, midday, is also different. You should not eat what you should not eat; eat breakfast. And not for the evenings. Similarly, in the evening, you should not eat what you ate for lunch or breakfast. And there is a time for salad—when to eat it and when not to eat it. Oh, Dobri. So he is really looking very good and feels it in his blood. The doctor said his blood is very good, all of it. You have the iron and everything, very good. That is why we call it the Pākśāstra. The Śāstra is a book, and these books are about cooking and eating. So, Pāk Śāstra: “Pāk” means cooking, and we should know how to cook. That is very important. And what do we do now? For any vegetable, we chop it, add chili, a bit of butter, salt, and this and that, and we say it’s good. In the evening, you should not eat that kind of vegetable. And after 11 o’clock, before noon, after that we should not eat all kinds of roots and vegetables. Especially what we call mūlī, the white radish. So, white radish, red radish, round one, long one, etc. Any kind of roots, vegetables, cooked or not cooked, after midday you should not eat. You can eat from half an hour before sunrise until then. And then it changes in the whole body. Oh, yeah, yeah... there is always something, no, Paras? Okay. Similarly, at which time should we make a prayer? There are two kinds of prayers. There are early morning prayers when you wake up, then prayers for breakfast time, then lunch time, and evening. These are the prayer times to God. But these prayers are mantras that help our body, our whole house, and the neighbors too. And there is also prasāda—they make an offering of prasāda. And in that prasāda, when we are chanting and some prasāda is lying there beside, we give it at the temple. It recharges those mantras or prayers, as stated in the Upaniṣads, the Vedas, the holy books, everywhere, no? Yes, prasāda. Prasāda. So that is very important. Come to your mother. Okay? So this is also first: know when you should bathe. If you can bathe before sunrise, that will be the healthiest for you or for me. But we are waking up after the sunrise, and then we are bathing. No doubt that you are becoming ill. Do you remember when we were all at the Kumbha Melā? Yes. And we went to bathe in the Kumbha Melā, Ilāhābād, very early in the morning. It was cold, and the river was very cold. Our term was the first before sunrise. And when we went into the river, into the water, suddenly we felt warm, not cold. So even here, in the river or in the lake, you can dip in winter before sunrise. Do not make the mistake of dipping after sunrise. And when we go to the river for bathing, there are also some mantras. And some mantras we worship: names like Gaṅgā, Yamunā, Sarasvatī, Danube, etc. The Danube is also a river, a holy river. Here near our Kṛpā, in a fillock, no? Yes, the flow—my God. Every flow of water is purity. We also fill water through the water pump in the bathroom, but that is not as effective. What is in the river? There is immense energy, immense energy. Do you remember seeing the Ādiguru Śaṅkarācārya’s video? Did you see it? Who saw it? Look. Okay. You didn’t see the whole video? Many did not know. Who didn’t see? Please raise your hands. Ah, this is my program this evening; I can relax. Oh, man. We will see the film of Ādiguru Śaṅkarācārya. Yes, and before that, today we will see the Devpurījīs and Alakhpurījīs Himalaya video, about 35 minutes. That contains immense energy, knowledge, learning, and many things. Śaṅkarācārya, as we saw at home when he was a young boy, about 10 or 14 years old. He would wake up in the morning, take a towel, run to the river, dip in the river, wash, and come home. So the flow of water has more energy for our body. Yes, my dear, we, the divine human beings, have polluted our rivers. Certain rivers are now such that you cannot dip in them; you may get a skin disease. Where are we taking this, our earth? A great learned person can cause more damage to the earth. The so-called best scientist has destroyed this earth. Those kinds of experiments, no? We don’t need experiments. God has made the experiment; just leave it. You have your wife; you need not make experiments with her. You have your cow, your buffaloes, your animals—why are you making more experiments? So as much knowledge and higher academics are applied, they dump all this onto the earth. Such big, big rockets are there. And every country in the world possesses these bombs, and if it goes on like this, the entire earth will be destroyed—humans, animals, everything. Because of their knowledge, they learn too much. All the time, they used to fight body to body. They would say, “Then come.” They opened their chest and said, “Come.” And now we hide somewhere and run away. No, that’s it. In the German language, they say “der Feigling,” no? The feeling, yeah, that’s it. They hide themselves, sitting here and there. No, come face to face. That is a beautiful battle. We all stand or sit, and how they come—that is good. So many things we have destroyed. Many chemicals go into our rivers, into the earth, and into the ocean. We are all creatures, mixed, dried, suffering with many diseases because of too much education. They have it because they think they know everything, and now they want to destroy different things. So study: you can read, write letters, talk to somebody. Finish, study at home. Get the knowledge, okay. Go to the university, get the knowledge, but while you are making experiments on animals and killing them, anyway, my dear, mantra, mantra is purification. And so there is healing through the mantra, through sound, through colors, through the environment; we heal our body according to these positive things. These are the mantras we use to heal our body. Sorry! Who knows the Gāyatrī Mantra? Oh, I am proud of my disciples. So let us say this Gāyatrī Mantra for our own healing—the healing of our negative thinking. And when there is negativity, of course, you should not go to the negative. The Sanskrit language, the alphabet or letters of Sanskrit, are fifty-two, and each word or each alphabet has its meaning and effect on humans. When this pronunciation comes from the human mouth, it spreads its vibration to other people, other creatures, other vegetation, our water, and our body—earth, as well as in the environment and space. Therefore, these words, this language, permeate our entire body. And certain incarnations, great saints, have certain centers in their body, which are known as the seats of the divine. Every human has this, but it is dormant. You may not see the signs, but some you will see on the soles of the feet, the palms, the forehead, etc. These are the signs of a very, very spiritual person. So whether you know it or not, it is there, awakened in you. Wherever you walk, wherever you go, wherever you are in the water, that divine energy, that divine vibration will automatically be there. So the sound—Nāda, Rūpa, Parabrahma—the sound is everything. The creation took place from the sound, Svambho Nāda. So today is something beautiful, not a call, but something with different melodies. Yeah, now I know why it comes between, like a singing opera, you know, up and down.
