Salutation to the cosmic light. Adoration to our great masters. Good evening, dear sisters and brothers. I am very happy to see all of you for the opening of the new Yoga and Daily Life Center. Beside this, it will also be a cultural center of India. When cultural activities come from India, the government of India and the embassy accept it so we can help more people from the Indian side—those who came from India, Sri Lanka, or Fiji—to give them opportunities to keep their culture. It is for all; it has become a center for everyone. All are welcome. Many support this, including one of our former disciples who supported financially, Swāmī Dayāl Purī. We thank him. It is said in Indian culture, according to the Upaniṣads, that first come the Vedas, then the Upaniṣads, then the Purāṇas. So it is said, "Mātṛ Devo Bhava." In the Vedas, Upaniṣads, culture, and humanity, "Mātṛ Devo Bhava." Mātṛ means the mother. "Mātṛ Devo Bhava"—first, God is the mother. First worship is to the mother. First adoration is to the mother. It is the mother who gave us protection and knowledge at the same time in her womb for twelve months. She knew, and she speaks day and night. She touches her belly. She feels there is something, and she has the great opportunity to bring God's life through her life. The mother is that one who is in her womb, in her hands, and in her lap. When the child comes out of the womb, for many days or months, the mother forgets sleeping. Therefore, first we respect and adore the mother. We should know the value of the mother. For those who are yogīs or have spiritual knowledge and feelings, they will know what that mother is. Even this earth, we call Mother Earth. Or do you say Father Earth? Maybe it's said, "my father country" or something. So in that, if we will give the chants respect, and women themselves... Nowadays, unfortunately, women are given some other path. We are talking about peace and harmony, and there should be no wars. Only this can again bring this peace, and this only—women. If they all stand up and will take first to give the education to their children, there will be no war. Then, "Pitṛ Devo Bhava"; the second is the father. Without that, both cannot function. So the second is that of the father. Mother and father, when they know that now they will have a child, forget your profession. The first thing is your duty to take care of the new child. But we forget. After one month, or maximum two months, then the mother has to go to work. And the child is somewhere in kindergarten, or whatever you call this. Many times, children don't know now who is the father and who is the mother, or who is that nurse, or in the children's school or kindergarten. That's why nowadays the children do not respect their parents. They have no feelings. Then they say, "Please give me your money and write and settle; it's my rights in this house." And very soon, they will send them to the old home. Your mother did not send you, the old or young children, somewhere forever. So this is the time that we call this community, societies, oneness. It doesn't matter any nation, or there is no more caste. But the caste and creed, whatever we said... It is said about 25 years ago the scientists said a few things. But it is said there is no caste, and there are no dualities. Only one human is only one human. It doesn't matter if it's from Africa, or Maoris, or the Australian Aborigines, or Europeans, or Asians, etc., or China, etc. We don't see color and race like this. There is only one, and that is human. Humanity is one. So, if we don't make dualities, then we'll also be okay. But still there are so many hidden dualities, and still we are suffering from this. Second, it is said the first human... The scientists were telling the first human was in the Himalayas, Tibet, China. First was Śiva, that is Śiva. Śiva is the king of the Himālaya. And that I don't want to go into how did I become the other person? The whole Himalayas' king was Śiva, who was the king. So Tibet was not in the words like a Tibet. That was the Śiva, etc., but it doesn't matter. A few months before, here was this other building name and the other activities. And now, here are yoga activities, and before we don't know who it was, so we are changing the names. But this Earth is here. So father, mother, if they decide that there should be no wars, and my children will be the best and happy and everything, then take your children in your lap. The child is looking, searching for the parent's lap. But when the child comes to the parent's or mother's lap, there is a laptop. So the child has no place because the father has the laptop in his hand. He said, "On the lap of the top is my rights," the child said. But we will give this again; the child also this play that. And that's why the situation in the world is like. The second, third: "Ācārya Devo Bhava." Then, like God or the great, is the Ācārya, the professor, the principal, the teacher, who is giving us this education, knowledge, for our worldly knowledge. Then after that comes "Pitṛ Devo Bhava." Pitṛ also can be the father or the ancestors. And the fifth one is called the Ṛṣi, the "Guru Devo Bhava," who gives us that knowledge of our soul, our ātmā, not a knowledge of the body. Every animal has a body. They have these five elements. They have desires. They have hunger. They are thirsty. They have fear, etc. O human, it is said that, O human, if one is doing only eating, creating children, and sleeping, all creatures can do. What is our duty as humans to come? Though thee thyself, who are you? So I say, morning, when you wake up, when you wake up, your eyes open first, eyes open. And then you should say, again, close eyes or open eyes. Tell in your mind or in your vocal code, "I am human." I am human. Now, what we said, if someone is doing something very cruel on the street, we will say, "Oh God, it's not a human." What is this one here? She did something. Koran sings. We said, "Oh, human cannot do this." So if we can come to these three points, our world will be again. But we are too far. We are too far. If you talk such things, they will tell you something, or they will kill us. But sooner or later, we have to come to this point. So all humans, we are one, and we love all creatures. Everyone needs love, all creatures. So it is said, "Love me, feed me, don't eat me." So many things. And for humans, God has given a lot of fruits and grains, etc., etc. Anyhow, this was the point. So, the centers, we have not only this yoga center. There are many centers, even in Oakland too. Though some yoga centers are also very, very good. There are not yoga, but other kinds of activities. Young people are coming together very, very much. Many, many. It must not be only the yoga. But many people come together again. And you know, the biggest movement that the youth have brought is called the vegan movement. The people were talking, it is a religious and this and that and that. So they come to this point, they put out religion, this, and they brought vegan. I met one religious person. So you can say monk or swami or priest, it doesn't matter, whatever. We were sitting beside each other on the sofa. The flight was two and a half hours, three hours late. And so I met him, and we were sitting. I said, brother, how are you? And he said, good. Suddenly, I said, "You are vegetarian." He said, "No, no, I'm not vegetarian." I said, "What? You are spiritual," he said. Yes, okay. But it is said, my religion said, "No problem, we can eat animals and this and that." I said, "No, you are drinking milk, you are taking honey, this is the same thing." I said, "My dear, there is no thing, the milk your mother..." Give you and ask your father today, but he is not here. Will your father give his milk? The cow is giving us milk as a mother. Today, the cow is not there. Will your bull give you milk? Yes. So think, what is that? This is a... milk is mother's love. This is mother's love. And she protects, and she feeds her children, and good. So, like this, my dear, if we come together to know things and understand, it is great. With this, we thought, I thought, that we will have this center here. Here, at our very beginning, Swami Bhajanananda, who was singing here, and then I sent one disciple here to teach yoga and this. And so she came from Germany here to teach further yoga and making, but she taught once her husband to become a husband, so from the Swami he became again husband. Okay, good, no problem. At least I was happy that I got one child, that our Kiran. So he, yoga very much. They are very great children. And so our Dayāl Purījī, I call his yoga names, and he was in India many years and in Australia, here in Europe, etc. So I am very happy that we are here and have this center for you, my dear all. I am like a bird. I don't know how many, how long time on one branch of the tree I stand sitting. And we don't know which direction it will fly away, but here people are living. It is your center, please come and practice in this. Now Dayālpuri, his parents are very divine too, so first of all. His mother, her name is Chandra. I gave her a Chandra, and what means a Chandra is like a moon, a beautiful moon. And they say today she has a birthday. Yes, the Chandra, please come, come Chandra. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you, happy birthday. Dear Chandra, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Chandra, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Chandra, happy birthday dear Chandra,... It's not the end. And Dayālpuri's father is also a great soul, very devoted. And he also has a beautiful name. I think very few people have this name. And that is called Hanumān. You know Hanumānjī? You call the monkey god, but he is not a monkey, but he is a... Yeah, so for your father, please, can... There was a mango, somebody took my mango. Yeah, so, he has a little bit of difficulty to get up and down, perhaps. So, can you give this mango to, and then put the seed in the ground? So that we can grow the mangoes, Hanumān Purī, thank you. No, sister. That I will not say. Āśram Hanumān. Great. Hari Om. Happiness and a long life. So, we shall, we will have here a few days. And there will be the science of Kuṇḍalinī and chakras. Many you know, many don't know, maybe. And I will give a little bit of knowledge according to my little knowledge, and what the chakras mean, what the kuṇḍalinī means, and how we can help our body. In Wellington, it was three days, four days, six days. Oh, God. There was a thyroid problem. And we know that many people have thyroid problems. Why? And how we can help. But I always said there are many reasons, causes, and many treatments, also with the doctors, medicines, others, etc. But yoga also has a great help. Also, the pancreas and the solar plexus in the body. And many diseases go from there. Manipūra cakra, the cakras, everything we will have here on the wall, and we will give the lectures on it. At the same time, we will have the meditation according to the chakras and kuṇḍalinī. For your health, etc., we have to understand, in my knowledge, according to my master, and the success through these things... When we are meditating, don't go far away. But we have to go within ourself, and ourself, when we look within ourself, our inner space is beyond our imagination. Be inside everything, so the beginning, the first, you were in the embryos. Before that, you came to this era of the earth above some thousand meters height, came and touched the different elements, what we call the soul, and the soul. It is just now, but we are all one soul. In this glass, there is water, and the same water was at the spring. The same water was in the rain, and the same rain was in the clouds, and the same in the clouds was in the fog. And that was in the ocean, and now we are separated. So, this science of the soul—in some times, in my imagination, my meditations, my research—I'm working very hard, walking here, there. I don't know, in one year, how many beds I was sleeping. In my own bed, maybe I continuously, maybe one week, and then somewhere else, then again come, and then, but there is constantly must go within our search, our research. It is said, "Who am I?" If we come to know that, all. It is solved: "Who am I?" That we will talk on this subject. And when we call our soul, each and every drop of the fog, so many in the world, is also many souls: 8.4 million different creatures. And these are three: Jalchar, Thalchar, and Nabchar. Jalchar means the creatures in the water, and water itself is alive too, and then earth, even the rock is alive, living, and then the creatures in the space. We have to go beyond that, so this is only the soul, then we call in our Vedānta and our Vedas, ātmā. Jīvātmā, ātmā. Ātmā, anātmā, jīvātmā. So, ātmā is fire beyond, and that ātmā becomes Paramatmā. Jīvātmā, Ātmā, Paramatmā, there we are in the mokṣa or something. But only telling some of these techniques and those techniques and taking you somewhere to meditate on the sunrise and there. That's also okay, but you are again going far away. Wasting your time for meditation, or it puts us inside, no mantras, no visions, just nothing. Again, you are in darkness. It is again lost. So let's come to our Kuṇḍalinī, chakras, our Jīvātmā, Paramātmā. So we are all here as a body, we are all different. But as a jīvā, it's all. Now, where will my soul go after life? There is a question there. What is my destiny? What is the relation to the jīvā, the soul, and destiny? So, let's see. In these few days, we will do something. You are welcome to come, and I congratulate you for this beautiful ashram. God bless you. Pray to our holy masters. I am like you. You are great. I don't know, may I, but I'm only sitting up here because I can see all. Yes? So, I don't say that I am the great. I'm like you. And I try to help you with what is with me. Thank you. Bless you. Adieu.
