We are the cause of Mahapralaya

Chant mantras for protection and purity. The Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra safeguards you, especially while driving. Another mantra purifies the heart like a lotus opening at dawn. Regular recitation acts as an ointment for inner vision. Human actions are causing environmental destruction leading towards a great dissolution. We cut forests, dig mines, destroy mountains, pollute with roads and pesticides, block rivers with dams, and slaughter animals. This removes Earth's balance, making it hollow and unstable. To prevent this, break the dams, stop deforestation and mining, and cease using wood and dug materials for building. Reject the scientists who caused this; convene a conference of farmers and normal people instead. Disseminate this message widely through letters and magazines. Where there is a will, there is a way.

"Oṁ tryambhakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭi-vardhanam urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya māmṛtāt."

"Through this mantra, in our heart, such happiness comes, purity comes."

Hari Om, good morning. How are you? Very good. Very nice. Nice and nice and nice. How was this morning’s anuṣṭhāna? How many of you were sleeping? Yes, there are many like this. It means we should go to sleep early. Second, we should take a cold shower. Third, walk without shoes and socks for two or three minutes on the grass. And then walk. We have very nice gravel, so walk on this, about, on the same place, but walking like 20 meters or 30 meters or 100 meters, and then you come, you will be very fresh and good. And when it comes to sleeping, then do it with open eyes. That’s all. We shall chant some mantra, and this mantra we shall do, which is very nice. It is a very nice mantra. > Oṁ tryambhakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭi-vardhanam urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya māmṛtāt. Every morning and wherever you go, you say mentally or verbally or loudly, chant this Mahāmṛtyu Mantra. Especially when you are driving your car. Before you start with your key, chant the Mahāmṛtyu Jaya Mantra, so that the divine śakti always protects us, also the God, Śiva protects us. Or while walking from the work of your home, mentally chant this mantra. There are different melodies, and this is your own melody, how you are doing. It’s very nice. It’s very nice. > Oṁ Tryambakaṁ Yajāmahe Sugandhiṁ Puṣṭivardhanam, Urvārukamiva Bandhanān Mṛtyormukṣīya Māmṛtāt. Another very nice mantra is: > Oṁ prabhudī panirañjana sabadukha bhajana. That’s a very nice mantra. Oṁ Prabhupāda Pāṇi Rañjana Śabaduka Bhajana. This is really a very powerful mantra. It is a very simple language, and everyone can do this. So while driving, while sitting, any time. And when you feel something negative, or "I’m not correct," or this and that, or while singing... you can also sing while driving in the car. > Jñāna Prabhudī Panirañjana Sabhā Dukkha Pa... Isi Mantrasi Jñāna Prabhudi Paniranjana. Sabha Dukkha Pa Prabhu Deepa Niranjana. Isi Mantra Se Hove Manjana Hove, Sri Deepa Sabha Prabhu Deepa Niranjana Isi Mantra Se. From this mantra, Isi Mantra Se, Isi Mantra Se Hove Man Manjan, my mind in my heart. Manjan means pure, clean. After eating, you bring your tray and you come to the clean water and you wash your plates. Very nice and clean. You wash your dress, and it is nice and clean. And you can make, if you want, the ironing. But this must not be. You are ironing, wearing, sitting in the car, outside getting; everything is again, there are wheels. That is, it must not be. But somehow, I said the question. And in that question, I questioned—somebody asked me, and I’ve forgotten. Forget it. But it is that when you are going with good dress wearing, then you think it is the, what? Everybody say, pe-pe-pe-pe-pe... You are wearing the good dress, you clean your hair and brush your hair, and you clean your face, everything. Now, others will say, "Oh, this person is so much," saying that I am the best. Do you ever think about how this lady has nice hair and a very nice face, washed, and yet she still does not have this? And then, after there is so much makeup, he or she still thinks it’s not enough. Then put this. There is something behind this, and again you are closing this also. That is different, but it’s okay. Why not? Now, I also have glasses, and from time to time I’m taking them out because I don’t like to hide my eyes. And if you don’t hide your eyes, then your face is not good. Our beauty is with our heart, our eyes, and our mouth. And the beauty of the man. I’m sorry, ladies. The beauty of the man is, I will tell what I want to tell, but you are so intelligent, so you know, yes. So if it is without beard, then it’s like a mouse. The mouse has the ears, but if the beard... And the mustache, it’s perfect. And you know, generally, every man after a certain age is very mutual. Then, until you are a young child, it’s okay. But when you mature, then the stomach should come out. Then his wife is so proud. Really, I have seen many times. So, when the husband has his stomach more out, then the wife is very proud. And when the woman brings the stomach in, then the husband is proud. So it is said, the man with his stomach, a man without a stomach is no stars in the sky. So the stars, the beauty of the sky, are the stars. And so, beauty is in the man’s stomach. So, boys, eat more and more, okay? And do a little nauli kriya, agnisāra kriya. That is something, energy. So it is said, when we dress properly, and everything is proper, it is a respect towards others. Because a person will say, "Yes, this person is clean, nice, properly dressed," etc., etc. So the difference between this, our own ego, or respect. So what is the difference between ego and respect? Though, if one does not understand, then it does not matter. So, my dear, it is beautiful. God has given our body as it is. All creatures are without dress. God gave the skin, God gave the hair, etc. But we are now, we are showing to God, we tell God, "God, now we are civilized." And God said, "Then have a nice dress." Because one day I was thinking, I was showing you the Mahāśivapurāṇa, and Śiva Pārvatī, or Śakti, and also Lakṣmī and Viṣṇu, how nicely they are beautiful. Also, their dress, I don’t know in last yugas, in Satyugas, which tailor was there making nice dress? So, for a human, it is something different. So, animals are different and humans are different. The animal does not want to make up anything. Does any animal make up? Maybe sometimes they lick their hair because there are some bugs. Are different. Therefore, let us live according to our culture. And culture is according to the environment, meaning the hot or the cold climate. Then, either in the desert or in the mountains. According to that, we are living. But nowadays people try to become in oneness, but that is not. It is very nice to be, so therefore it is also said that our respect, if you want to respect others, then we should be properly dressed and properly washed. Otherwise, from the nose it’s hanging on the beard; anything is not good. People will say, "This person is so-so." Have a good dress, clean dress, iron or no iron, but be happy and joyful. And therefore, that mantra. > Pradīpanī Raṅgyanā Sabhā, Dukkha Bhāva. Pradīpanī Raṅgyanā Sabhā, Dukkha Bhāva. Naiṣe Mantra Se Khove, Mana Se. Pradīpanī Raṅgyanā Sabhā, Dukkha Bhāva... Hṛde kamal kā ākhe kul jāye. Hṛde means our heart, kamal, kamal is like a lotus, and when early morning, dež brzo ráno, when the dawn is coming, each and every petal of the lotus is unfolding. And before the sun comes, all lotus petals are opened. How beautiful. So, through this mantra, in our heart, such happiness comes, purity comes. And hṛde kamal ke ākhe khol jāye, ākhe means the eyes. So the lotus petals also have eyes. So in our heart, we also have our eyes. But you should put ointment in your eyes every day. This is the beautiful ointment of the mantra. Then your eyes will open, and you will see the beauty of your whole world with your Anāhata Chakra. So, what kind of ointment should we put in our eyes? And that is the ointment, the best ointment, is the name of this bhajan, the name of Gurudev. Deep Nīrañjan Sabdukhā Bhajan. Do it like this, all troubles will go, all problems, but with your hṛdayakamala, your heart should open. So the children have to go to the garden, and then you see the lotus is beautiful when it is in the water. And if there is a garden and there are no children, there is no beauty in that. So that’s very good. So we have a beautiful seminar. Hundreds of us are here. And we have hundreds of our children. When they will go, it looks like the lake, a beautiful lake, where Paramahaṁsa is there. And these children are like Paramahaṁsa. There is a beautiful bhajan written by Mahāprabhujī’s disciple Maṅgīlālji, and Maṅgīlālji was a great, great saint, and Mahāprabhujī declared him, he is called Jīvit living. In this world, he is already like in the there was one who was the father of Sītā, and the father of Sītā was called the living, like he died. Beautiful, beautiful. So, Maṅgīlāl jī, he wrote a very long bhajan, and in it he is talking about what will happen in this world, because sooner or later it will go into mahā-pralaya. And when the saints are saying, "Definitely it will be," and who will do this? The humans, humans will be the cause of Mahāpralaya again. But he said in this bhajan, "Those who are the spiritual, they need sādhanā. Before the Mahāpralaya comes, they will go to the Svargalokas or Brahmalokas." Others will stay here. So, don’t worry, when it will come, you all will come quickly there, like Viṣṇu and his chariot. Who is the chariot of Viṣṇu? Garuda, Garuda... yes. Garuda is like a swan, big. The Garuḍa is like a big, big eagle, in German they say. Eagle. And don’t worry. How do you think that God will... man will sit on, and this will fly? It cannot. Of course, if you sit on the crow, then you can’t fly, so you always get the crow. You are always meeting the crows. My dear, come and bring that, the Garuḍa. Yes, well, I was also thinking, really, how will it lift a human? But one day I saw on Facebook, from the Himalayas somewhere, at a height of about ten thousand meters or eight thousand meters, came one big eagle. And what did he do? A big goat, a big ray, just cut it up. That one had about 70 kilometers, 80, they leave it, not kilometer, kilos. But nicely, he jumped, flying. Similarly, Brahma and Vishnu have their chariot, which is this Garuḍa. So one day it will come, all will go to the Brahmalokas, others will go down. So don’t worry, the Garuḍa can make himself as big as his wings can be. From this corner of the earth to another corner of the earth. Like Hanumanjī took Lakṣmaṇa and Rāma. And he was flying, coming to Sri Lanka. So that is not a miracle, it is. So we have opportunities, but we say, "God, please do not let it make this Mahāpralaya." But who is doing, and how is it being done, and how will it be? Many times I told, and I gave in my lectures, many years before, constantly, let’s say the cause is the humans. It means we are putting the one weapon on our own foot. You are cutting your own legs. So similarly, the humans, we humans are destroying ourselves, and we are the cause of the forest and the creatures. Let’s see that first, that we begin to chop the trees. Many, many, many trees. If we see from above, the earth is more than a desert. The little we see the greenery, otherwise our Earth is completely dried. And the water, the rain, rain comes only where the greenery is. It means they are not raining; rain doesn’t come only because of the humans. But the rain comes for all the greenery, the vegetation. And the shelter of the creatures is the trees. But we humans are cutting and cutting. A lot of the rainforests are being destroyed day and night with machines. So we shall put more and more trees, more and more greenery. This is number one. Second, that we have dug numerous, what we call, mines—coal mines, gold mines, silver mines—all many, many things we are digging out from the earth. What are we doing? We are making a hole. And when there is nothing, then some pull the water in, and others just block it. So, water or empty the space, this is the cause. I will tell you after. After that, all dealing in the oil, so many, many of these oils we are dealing and dealing, and then we put the water in, or we leave it there. Again, this is empty, or goes water in me. So this will also be the cause of the Mahāpralaya. The third, the many, many rocks we are mining from the mountains. We are digging everything. We are destroying the mountains. You can’t imagine, in some countries where there was a little hill or mountain, there is no mountain. Okay, but going deep, digging this. For example, beautiful stones, marble, or other stones. They are digging and digging and digging, 150 meters deep. For the stones, then for all this material for the buildings. And then we are also destroying the mountains for what we call the cement. And how many billions of roads in the whole world we made, the roads. That is the cause of destroying the mountains. Cause of these oils, so one way we took the balance away. Second, we killed the Earth. And the most pollution is from the highways or the roads. How many rubbers are there we are using, as the wheels of the vehicles? You can’t imagine how much is in the whole world. Don’t count only about Strylky, where we are sitting, but everywhere. And in some countries, it is so much that in the traffic you have no, you cannot go quickly. So, this is also the cause of the pralaya. The slaughtering of many, many animals, and this is also, as one we call, the pāpa. And pāpa means the sin. Yes, sin is the cause of the falling down. Let the animals be free, like this nature is free. Let the birds be free, like this nature is free. Then, very deep, if they are giving the poison, we humans are giving ourselves the poison. Our children, our families, all, we are getting poison. There are so many cancers, so many diseases. Why? Because of the poison in the body. This is the pesticide. This is also the cause of what we call the Mahāpralaya. This all, then, what are we doing? Still, we humans, we want to chip up everything, kill, kill, kill. There is a natural flow of the water, but what will we do? Many, many dams. And if there is a river, and you are not rocking the dam, but the bank of the river, you are constructing with stones and concrete. So that water doesn’t go into the whole land. And where you have a dam, that’s only for the purpose of fishing. And a little water is sent to some fabrics. So, there we are also killing this earth, and all water is blocked here. So, where is the water going now? The ocean has no more water. Because the ocean gives us water, and we should take only as much as we need. And the rest, it should flow back to the ocean. So that is also the cause of the Mahāpralaya. So, my dear, there are more than these causes for the environment. And we are using billions of Hungarian forints. Billions, but still it’s not enough. So we are for the money, we are giving them more to kill the many things. My dear, I don’t want to tell you, but I have something different. So now, for example, take this example, and this is the balance. This is Earth, and where the mountain is, it is giving this balance. But we are taking water out and all holes in the earth, but now we are destroying the mountains because the mountain is balance to keep the earth further, but when the earth is destroyed, the rocks... What will happen? The mother earth is empty, and what will happen? Suddenly, this earth, because the balance is not anymore, and one day it will go like this, and when the ocean will come with one wave, the earth is down. Where is your bank? Where is your money? Where is your gold? Where is your child, which is only two meters far from you? We are all sinking in the water. How long will you survive there in the ocean with the boat that is called Mahā Pralaya? Then again, Śiva will come and will say that he is the cause of that, and others, and now. So this is what I want to tell you: this is what we can do. My lecture is always in this way, last many, many years. So first, what we should do is break all the dams. No dam, let water come on earth and let it flow again through the whole forest and rest into the ocean. And don’t make the blocks of everything, so the mines, oils, the mountains, dealing. And cutting of the forest and dams, these are the cause of this world we are suffering. When I came to Europe in 1970, I could see this, like a desert in India. Yeah, somewhere in India, it’s so dry. In the Himalayas, from Rishikesh onwards, you need a coat, it is very cold. And now, even till the high mountains, what we call the Jyotirmath, nearly 3,000 meters height, you need a ventilator. Everywhere in the whole world. I hope all listeners around the world, we shall come to have this conference. We don’t want any scientists. The scientists have destroyed this globe. We want farmers, normal people. They will again… Scientist is the sign and tea. Drink the tea and go out for coffee. No scientist can save us; moreover, they will make things wrong. And if you are clever, then break all the names first. And second, no wood should be used for any of your buildings. And know anything from the digging out and out for high buildings. Live normally. That can save our time, our earth, and our life. So please message this wherever you can. I give it to you freely. All my newspapers, or the magazine, or anywhere, and that we should have a conference. Thank you very much. Hari Om. Now, what do you say? So there are those who are Americans, Australians, New Zealanders, the Fijians, also the Croatians, Cubans, and Georgians, all are here. Make nice some letters or magazines, write in the magazine, write in newspapers, and write, and you can give them in the whole village, everyone. Two pages, hold it. Do it, everybody. Five thousand, yourself print it, and just give it further, give it further. It is said, where there is a will, there is a way. So where there is a will, there is a way. When I came sometimes with the Russian aeroplane, and at that time, they were giving very cheap and very good. The Russians were very nice. So from Vienna to Moscow, Moscow to New Delhi, New Delhi to Singapore, Singapore to New Delhi, New Delhi to Moscow, and Moscow to Vienna. And it was what we call about 400. That time was the shillings, and eating good food. And that time, other flights were also cheaper, but the Russians were offering a good deal. And now also, only people are stupid, thinking, "Oh, Russians are not good." Russians are very good. Now we will go again into Europe, into Russia. Anyhow, what I want to say is, where there is a will, there is a way. We’re coming, Hare Krishna people. Hare Krishna have good, strong willpower. So what they did was they made a small Bhagavad Gītā in the Russian language, and they had bags full of them. So when they were going to the toilet, they put it there. Walking near the coffee shop, they put it there. So wherever they could, they put one book. In the aeroplane, give it in the bathroom, or they put it near the hostess. So, and they ate it. And many came to know what is the Bhagavad Gītā, what is Kṛṣṇa. Yes. Many times they were burning their ashram or the temple. In many, they were beating. In the time of Yugoslavia, they were beating the people. Few people were in one house, living there on some farm. And people came and burned them. Someone came and put them here with a knife across. But still, they were there in the name of Krishna. So where there is will, there is way. I don’t know, but they said now in Russia the government helped them to make a temple of the Hare Kṛṣṇa, but they have the will and they have understanding. And what about us? We are making in the trouser to make the yellow dress. Hari Om. > Oṁ hara hara bhagāśivāya
