Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavānakī Devādideva Svayambhū Devīśvara Mādhāvakī Satguru Svāmī Mādhāvanāñjī Bhagavānakī. With a salutation to the cosmic light and adoration to our spiritual innates, good morning, good evening, dear brothers and sisters from different parts of the world. This blessing is coming to you especially from Om Viśvadīp Gurukul Swāmī Māheśvarānanda Āśram, Educational Research Center, Jāḍaṇ, Pālī, Rājasthān, India. For many of you, Guru Pūrṇimā was yesterday, and for many of you, Guru Pūrṇimā night is today. On this special, divine, glorious, and holy occasion of Guru Pūrṇimā, I pray to Almighty for His divine blessings and guidance for all of you. The Indian calendar, Indian astrology, is counted through the moon system. Actually, to find a very precise constellation and time, you have to go through the moon calendar, the lunar calendar. Sometimes, according to the lunar calendar, there are thirteen full moons in one year within twelve months, and sometimes only twelve, and it can also be only eleven. So there is a flexibility, or a space of tolerance, that can last the whole month. Now, the climate change, the change of the four seasons, does not depend on the sun, but it depends on the moon system. The lunar represents the emotion, the mind. When the full moon is there, the ocean has high waves, a high motion. And when it’s a dark moon, it’s more calm, but immediately the next day, when the new moon begins, it begins the very high emotion again. There are two kinds of creatures, including humans and vegetation. Some have emotional feelings or problems, depression, anger, unhappiness, sleeplessness, anxiety, and so on during the full moon nights. It can be one night before and one night after—the three nights. In India, we used to say, "Chār din kī chāndnī, aḵẖir andherī rāt." Four days there are complete moon nights: two days before, one day is the full moon, and the second day after the full moon. And then again it becomes darker and darker and darker. When the full moon is there, even the wildlife is restless. Ye jo hamāre bhediye kehte hai, salināriyā ke mā mārwār mein Laumdī Hai, aur bhī jaṅglī janvar hai, wo bahut uttejit ho jāte hai. That means the consciousness is influenced. The entire biorhythm comes into disbalance sometimes. Emotion means you are in the motion. You are not capable of resisting or controlling the motion. And then there are the second kind of creatures, Amāvasyā, the dark moon night. In these twelve moons, there are four moons, four full moons, which are very important. Guru Pūrṇam, Guru Pūrṇam, Rakṣābandhan Pūrṇam, Śarad Pūrṇam, and after our Saṅkrānti, Jupunam, Atimag Kī Pūrṇam. So these are the four full moon days which have more energy and more spiritual attraction. The other different creatures know how to master their life or their emotions. But there is one creature that doesn’t know, and that’s human. But according to the Vedic Sanskritī, according to the Vedic time, the Ṛṣis made the research work on the full moon day. During the full moon day, if you fast, it will become easier for you to stand through that emotion of the full moon. Second, if you will read some holy books, authentic, ancient, those literatures which inspire you, which create a motivation in your life, which inspire you to continue your spiritual life, which give the picture of entire life: what is the sense of life? Who am I? From where did I come? Ko aṁ katam idaṁ jātam, ko ve kartasya vidyate? Why did I come here on this planet? What is the purpose of my coming? Why did God give me human life? And where will I go? No one will go with you, even this body will not go with you. Tulasīdāsa Jī Mahārāja said, "Prārabdha pele rachā pise rasa sarīra." Action and reaction karma is in your hands, but luck is not in your hands. You have a stone in your hands. You can throw it if you want, and you can keep it if you want. But when that stone leaves your hand, you have no right over it, and no strength or power can be used on it. Jo karm ho chuke, wo phir vapas nahī̃ phirte. What is done is done. Cār prakār se karm kī jāte haiṁ: tan, mana, bachan, aur dhan—through body, through mind, through the words, and through the social power or money. Prārabdha pele rachā. What we are doing, we are preparing our destiny. Destiny is like a balloon, and you, as a jīvātmā, are inside that balloon. Paramatma, ek to hota hai, Paramatma, aur usi Paramatma kā śarīra rūpa hai, ātmā. Ātmā soī Paramatma, aur usi ātmā kā śarīra rūpa bantā hai, jīvātmā. Ātmā aur anātmā kā miśraṇa, ek jīvātmā hai. When a living soul enters a body according to Prārabdha, when a human being enters a body, then if a human being does good deeds... Does good deeds, jisko narak meṁ bhī jagāī nahīṁ miltī hai. Narak re dvār agni meṁ khaḍā raṇā partā hai, aur kaheṁ ke niyapare. Yam Dūt To Paramātmā, Ātmā, Dharmātmā, Ar Pāpātmā. Sorry, I have to say something in Hindi too, because there are many Hindi speakers sitting here. But I will come to you with the same words. And one day that truth will come out. There was a king. There was a prince of the king. He used to go to a woman every day. He used to go to a woman every day, so the king became sad. A sage came to the king. He said, "Bābajī, this is a difficult matter." So the king said, "I will release you tomorrow. Oh Bābajī, will you release me tomorrow? I will give you a job tomorrow." Kari, Joko Pache Bas, Hamesa Hamesa Revasate, Maamlo, Haram, Khatam Vane Aware, Ek Ghanda Pehle Babaji Kiya Para Vane Gare, Baare Baithariya, Baithariya, Baithariya Peer Wo, Ke Abhe Wo Rajkumar Ke Aale Ka Time Hua, Toh Das Ek Minute Pehle, Babaji Vane Garma Gaya. Vane Jaane Kio, Ke Wa Gare, Babājī Āp, Mahārāj, Ke Hān Bai, Mein Āyon Betī. I have come to tell you one thing, that I am leaving soon. If anyone asks why Babājī has come, then I will give you only one answer, that Babā Jī has not gone anywhere, that’s it. Bābā Jī has not gone anywhere, that’s it. Bābā Jī has not gone anywhere, that’s it.... Bābā Jī has not gone anywhere. That’s it, Bābā Jī has not gone anywhere. That’s it, Bābā Jī has not gone anywhere.... That’s it, Bābā Jī. He has not gone anywhere, that’s it. Bābā Jī has not gone anywhere, that’s it. Bābā Jī has not gone anywhere, that’s it.... Bābā Jī bolā ke hāṁ, kī kyā bolā, kī kisī ko kehnā mat to māne to batā de, ke batā hūṁ kāṁ, usne. To yehī to kahā mujhe, ki kisī ko kehnā mat, usne kehtā tū mere pā viśvās nahīṁ hai, mere ko nahīṁ kehnā cāhtī hai, tujhe hamesā ke liye tyāgtā hūṁ, ek hī vacan meṁ badal diyo, ek hī vacan meṁ to yeh māno vijñān kehtā hai ki blackmailing. So, in blackmailing, slowly, slowly, those people whom you are criticizing will come to you, and they will come to you. So, one is Paramātmā, Bhullamati, where is he? Ātmā. Ātmā is left, Jīvātmā. Jīvātmā is left, Dharmātmā. And if Dharmātmā is not there, then it is Pāpātmā. So, Tārā, Tābūr, Thāne, Roj, Papā ke hai ke Pitājī ke? Battā ho betā, amme thārā bachchā thāne pāpā ke hai. Hai to khullam khullī galī dheriyā thāne to ye mano vijñān kehtā hai. Āj kā bhī ke dheere dheere un āj miri ātmā ne aishā wo pāp kā chhāyā mein ḍāl dengī. Jare marī jare wo narak mein jāī aur kaṭī jāī khorī kono mein kīṛā vaiṣ padhī uṛā hai. Kī Nei, Kei Zimati Kyā Ne, Thākur Sāhab? Therefore, you should speak well to your children, and you should speak well of your mother and father. You are the mother, you are the father, you are the relative, you are the knowledge, and you are the wealth. You are my mother and my father, Papa. You are my wealth and my friend, oh my Lord. I don’t have any rage, is that right? That’s why when a small child is born, you have that soil in your hands. We used to make a pot out of mud, add water, and make it wet. We used to make an idol out of rice. We used to make Maṇakrī out of rice. Parvati Jī used to make Gaṇeśa out of rice. We used to make dogs out of rice. These days, people go to their rooms and keep dogs in their wardrobes. In India, we used to say, "Whose face did you see this morning?" Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā... Are aaj kāl biyāv kare jo, ke pelā chorī nī, mai dekan jāo. Nāmai kāya ke, nai pelā mai deh kaun, ne kede koī deh kī re, to nā bāp ne kā, tharā biyāv karnau, mārā karnau hai. Bolo, āj saṁskṛti pannā prayī hai, this is why the society is sad. So, therefore, this emotional part of the moon, the yogī says, if you will keep fasting, then it will become easier for you to resist the radiance of the moon. Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa tells Arjuna, "Through the moonlight, I enter into the vegetation as a nectar." So it’s not only the vegetation, the trees, but all that has a biological process. Second, occupy your mind, give a direction to your mind towards Guru Vākya. Mantra Mūlam Guru Vākya. For a disciple, the final, the last, and the best mantra is Guru Vākya. What Guru said, do it. For the śiṣya, there is no other evidence. Sabse baṛā mantra, sabse baṛī śahādānā aur sabse baṛā jñāna Guru Vākya. Guru ne keh diya ki yeh karna hai to? Karna hai. Therefore, mantra mūlaṁ Guru Vākya. What is the Guru Vakya? All holy books are the Guru Vakya. Only the Vedas are known as Brahma Vakya. The Vedas are Brahmā Vākya, the word of Brahmā, created by Brahmā. Kṛṣṇa is known as Gītā, and Mātā is known as Pitā. We don’t have Pita with us. We have Pita with us and Papa with us. So, all the spiritual scriptures, the words of the saints, the self-realized ones, they are experienced. That time we used to call it tapasyā, and now in this modern time we call it research. Vigyanik jo research karte hain, wo bhi kadokau mein. Toh pehla jo ṛṣi-muni tapasyā karte the, vah tapasyā kā hī svarūp haiṁ research. Therefore, the great saints, after researching, experiencing, and teaching, read the best scriptures: Yoga, Upaniṣads, Purāṇas, and many others, including the Holy Bible and Quran. They follow that teaching, that statement, which is called Guru Vākya. Jesus said to his disciples, "Follow me, I am the way to the Holy Father." That is exactly what the Guru said to the disciples: "Have faith and follow me. I am salvation for you. I am the way to Brahman." That he has repeated constantly, each and every word of Jesus you can read, find in the Purāṇas and in the Upaniṣads. Therefore, it is compared to a Guru Vakya. The disciple who cannot follow the Guru Vākya will fail. So there are three things. One is called a follower, who follows the Guru Dev. Who cannot follow Guru Dev is not a follower. He will fall over. And those who have followed become beautiful like flowers, like the flowers. So, fasting and Svādhyāya, spiritual scripture. Sva means self, Adhyāya means the capital. How many chapters have you within yourself in your life? Arre, aapne apne jīvan mein kitne aise lek likhte likhte adhūrā chhoṛ diyā. Kya aap usko pūrā kar paye, yā vahīṁ choṛ diyā? Āpke hṛday ke andar kis prakār ke ghav abhī hai? Svādhyāya: "sva" means svayaṁ, or "adhyāya." Is the Adhyāya of your life incomplete or complete? Therefore, it is called Svādhyāya. Study thyself within thy heart: how many wounds you have, how many times you began your chapters, and how many times did you close your chapter without completing. Therefore, Guru Vakya will help us to follow and continue. Third, satsaṅg. Go to the satsaṅg. Go to the holy saints. The satsaṅg will... These are fasting, studying the good scriptures, and going to satsaṅg. These three can change your destiny. Otherwise, pralabdha, destiny, cannot be changed. Only there is one solution. You see, always there is one possibility. Always, there is one little surak. And that one, that which you can have, there is one chance. Your destiny, even God will not attempt to change it. Dharmarāja, who is keeping the record of your destiny, will not change. But there is one chance. Rekh Par Mekh, kaun bār saktā hai? Batao, Rekh Maa Te Mekh Un Maare? Gurudev. Are you able to draw a straight line on your Guru, who is a peaceful, self-realized soul of peace? That is the point. They can stop you from the line that is going from there. Today, Dr. Ramchandra Ji, an old man from Gendari, who used to live in America, said that an astrologer, when he was small, saw the line of the astra, he saw the line. What was there? It was the age line. There is no knowledge line. There is no knowledge line; it is very small, it is more or less than 10 years old. So, Mahāprabhujī says that it is true, it is very good, what is to be done? Those who do not have the knowledge of the line, they will end up going to the line. If you do not have it, then it will end. If you do not have it, then it will increase. There is no limit. There is no limit, and there is also wealth, so Mahāprabhujī says that how to live, I will give you money, so, therefore, if you follow the Guru Vakya, you understand, and you do it, then your destiny will become softer, and so the full moon, how it is functioning, influencing our mind, our body, emotion, intellect, and our consciousness. This full moon is the day when, for the first time on this globe, the sun’s rays touched that constellation, which is called Guru Pūrṇimā. Most people say that Vedavyāsa Jī was born on this Pūrṇimā. But according to this, if you call the Vedavyāsa Jī, there was not this time. It is monsoon time. It is the time of Cāturmās. There are no Kauras in Cāturmās. And if there is Kauravas, it is in January, February, or December. It is okay. We will keep going. We will keep going. So even if it happens in December, then July is the seventh month, let’s see that too. So Guru Pūrṇimā is that time when the twelve avatāras took the earth from the water and touched the earth with the first ray of the sun. Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā... Ātmā hame andhakāra kī or se haṭā karke prakāśa kī or le jāyī, vahe hain guru. Therefore, it begins our first milestone to enlighten our consciousness, that enlightenment is not like these physical lights; that is a different light. Where there is no sun and no moon, there is no svarūpa, no forms, but there is still the indescribable. And therefore, this is the day, because these two constellations came together, and also the full moon, so this became the Guru Pūrṇimā. On this day, all the saints, even the divine souls from the astral worlds, come with their sūkṣma śarīra to their Gurudeva. You don’t know how many are now moving round and round, looking to us and listening to the satsaṅg, you know. Be careful. Big brothers are watching. Okay? That’s it. Therefore, it is said that serving Hari for sixteen years, and serving the Guru for a moment, are not equal. Why contemplate the Vedas? If you serve Gurudev for a moment, it is many times greater than worshipping God for a hundred years. The son of Ved Vyāsa. Who were the sons of Vedavyāsa? Śukadeva Muni said, "Sixteen years serving and praying to God, keep repeating the name of God. Time began. Sixteen, sixteen years serving and praying to God, and only for one hour, the four quarters serving the Gurudev cannot be compared." With this, one hour is more than 16 hours. Sukadeva Muni said, "The Vedas have declared this." Therefore, in every aspect, Guru Pūrṇimā is great. Lucky are they, blessed are they, fortunate ones are they who can be today in the same environment with the Gurudev for this Guru Pūrṇimā celebration. And still happy and lucky are they, though they are very far away. But in their thoughts and their feelings, they are with their Gurudev constantly. Mīrābāī said, "The great Mīrā said," My Lord, my feelings and my mind are with you. Here, where I am, is just this empty place of my body. That’s all. Skelet only. Therefore, also lucky are they, fortunate ones are they, who can be with their thoughts now with their Gurudev. Unhappy, unfortunate one, those who have dark clouds of ignorance and destiny. Kain takat hai jīv rī Rām nām le, karam de thāprī nām phir de. The karmas are so strong. This jīva has no strength to remember God. So, unfortunately, today they don’t remember. Tomorrow they will say, "Oh my God, Swāmījī, please forgive me. Was yesterday full moon, full nima?" We’ll telephone, what can I do? I will say, do it today again. Make fasting, always be positive, no? That’s it. But those bhaktas are there, meditating and expecting the Gurudev. Without any conflicts, without any obstacles, without hindrance, without doubts, just say, "Door of my heart, open wide I keep for thee... Will thou come, will thou come, just for once come to me? Will thou come, will thou come just for once? Will my days fly away without seeing thee, my Lord, mine? Without seeing thee, mine? Night and day, night and day I look for thee, night and day. I look for the night and day, I look for the night and day. Do my heart open wide? I keep for thee, open wide, I keep for thee." Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān kī, mere hṛday kā darvājā bahut baṛā. He Parampitā Paramātmā Gurudev, pūrā darvājā mere pās hai, darvāje pūre khulā he. Rakho charan me dasa padaro vere Ganapati deva guru rasa deepa Narayana bhagavan ki. Therefore, Guru Purnima is special, especially for the yoga practitioners. There are four antaḥkaraṇa which have to be purified. Mind, intellect, consciousness, and ego. Because these four antaḥkaraṇas are disturbed, completely covered with the three negative qualities, that’s called māla, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa. Māla is impurity, impure eating, impure... Talking, impure thinking, and impure societies, these three can be purified through satsaṅg. So on this special divine occasion of the Guru Pūrṇimā night, I wish you a very bright night and lots of blessings and energies. Pray to Mahāprabhujī and Gurujī and all our spiritual lineage to bless us with the divine blessing and forgive all our mistakes and clean our thoughts. Let me be, that’s all. That’s why it is said, "Gurudev, I will be Thine always. I will be Thine always." So, Guru Pūrṇimā, please bring this message to all other bhaktas. These blessings are from Om Vishwadeep Gurukul, Swami Maheśvarānanda Āśram’s Education Research Center, Jadan, District Pali, Rajasthan, India. Is sending you this divine message. And those who are looking to me, I just say hello, happy Guru Pūrṇimā, and bless you. With this, I will now stop my speech. Enjoy the beautiful bhajans and singing. They are great singers, so don’t sleep. Just be awakened. This jīva has been sleeping in many, many lives. Only the chance, don’t miss it. With this, I bless you. God bless you.
