Words express our devotion

Today is the holy day of divine incarnation.

We show respect by marking the divine coming to earth. Divine names like Śiva, Braṣmā, Viṣṇu, Rāma, Kṛṣṇa, and Jesus are short and sweet. These are glories given to the one reality. Titles like doctor or professor are just designations; the reality is one soul. In this age, a disciple gave the name "Holy Gurujī," which signifies high respect. We are human, using names to show respect, similar to calling anyone "sir." Our Guru received the title Hindu Dharm Samrāṭ, like an emperor of eternal duty, and also Vishwaguru. These titles are subtitles; we remain the same essence. Worldly titles, like President or First Lady, are transient. The true power is in the name and the quality it represents. Today, under a good constellation, our Satguru was born.

"It is a birth, an incarnation—a holy incarnation—and this is our respect."

"These are just titles... So what we call ourselves is just like air inside. But the name—that is the first one."

Today is a very holy day for us, as it is the day of incarnation, the birth day of our holy Gurujī. You can sit here, Mañjādevī, come. Here, here. You can sit near the ḍālak, on the corner here. Yes, that's good. We will give her the microphone. Before prayer, I would like to say something. We call it a birth, an incarnation. It is said the divine comes to this earth. This is how we show our respect. It is a birth, an incarnation—a holy incarnation—and this is our respect. The birth is the One in all. One thing I would like to tell you: for example, Swayambhū Śiva. We always say Śiva—Śiva temple, Śiva pūjā. A very beautiful thing, said by Holy Gurujī in a short and sweet way, is that it is called Śiva. Or many other incarnations: Brahmā, the creator of all. He has the role of creator and a great name, yet we say just Brahmā. In this incarnation, in this yuga, it is Viṣṇu. We just say Viṣṇu, and we say Rāma, or Kṛṣṇa, or Jesus. What short names. Gurujī says: short and sweet. But we adore them, and that is why we give them glories. This is the only difference; otherwise, it is all your one name. Afterwards, you might say doctor, professor, surgeon, or scientist—these are just separate designations. But the reality is one. So it is with our name, our body—everything is only our ātmā, our soul. Do we say, "We said the Professor Jīva?" We cannot even say it. In that way, we can speak of incarnation, birth, and so on. You can call it many things, but it is short and sweet. At that time, there were no written glories on paper. This is Kali Yuga, so let us proceed as it is. We have our very dear Gurujī, Swāmī Madhavānjī, who received a name here in Czechoslovakia. In Czech, a disciple of Gurujī named Milinski said, "Holy Gurujī." And it remained a real step. Now they do not say Madhavānāmjī or anything else—only Holy Gurujī, Holy Gurujī, Holy Gurujī. And Mañjādevī, has the corpse been mentioned? Oh God, then sit there. You can sit on that side where there is no light. Can we wear the umbrella? Black glass. So it came from Ostrava. He said, "Holy Gurujī." And 'holy' is very high, like you have priest, bishop, etc. That is our respect. Otherwise, we are human: one is born, one has arrived, one came, one incarnated, etc. It depends on how we bring a good name. Again, we say, "Dear sir." In America, mostly it does not matter who is who. Even a sweeper on the street—when you ask him something, they will say, "Sir, can you please tell me the way?" It does not matter who is who. So there is a respect. At this time, we want to request Śiva, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and all others: Śiva, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and all the others. Today, our Sadguru Dev received the title Hindu Dharm Samrāṭ. Samrāṭ is like the emperor of Austria-Hungary, for this side and that side—what we call an emperor. That is called the Sanātana Dharma; there he is the... did I say emperor? Samrāṭ, Sanātana Dharma Samrāṭ. In Kāśī, it was given. Mostly titles were given there, and at the same time they gave me Vishwaguru. So I received the title. Everything you have written is not me. So, okay, this is a subtitle. Otherwise, we are the same. Ultimately, when you come home, your wife or your husband will not say "Ma'am," "Madam," or "Your Excellency." He will say, "František, please clean the dishes. It is only us two at home," and he will say, "Yes, darling." So we come close. These are just titles. Now in Kali Yuga, you have a title called President. And 'President' means the... what do you call it, the first mother? The First Lady. Yes, so everybody says First Lady. And next year, there is nothing. She is swimming in the swimming pool. There, they will not say "the First Lady"; they will say something different. So what we call ourselves is just like air inside. But the name—that is the first one. Can you write Professor Jesus? Or Dr. Jesus? Doctor, professor, holy—for Jesus, it is nothing. Even the President comes to the church; he will kneel down to Jesus. That is it. So it is in that name. And you have to attain this power or quality. That is all. So today, in the morning at nine o'clock, under a very good constellation, our Satguru Dev Swami Madhavānajī, our Holy Gurujī, was born, incarnated, arrived, came. That is why we will now all have a prayer: Satguru Swami Madhavānajī Bhagavān. Devadideva Devasarman Satyam Bhagavān. Deepnarayan Bhagavān. Alakpurījī Mahādeva. Jai Satya Sanātana Dharma.
