The search for one's spiritual origin is a fundamental journey. This quest leads through the scriptures and into the sacred geography of the Himalayas. The ancient place known as Alakapuri is described in texts like the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and the Mahā Śiva Purāṇa. It is associated with the Alakapuri Glacier and the Alaknandā River. Pilgrimage to this remote region reveals its profound energy. The path involves austerity, such as staying in high-altitude caves without fire. Disciplines like Prāṇāyāma prepare the seeker for the experience. The origin is not merely a location but a state of pure being accessible to the devoted heart.

"In the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, there are 18,000 verses written in this book. In this book, Alakhā Purī Jaya is also written."

"Breathe in through the nose and breathe out through the mouth. Then the lungs contract. And so does the Prāṇāyāma."

Paramātmā, Guru, Svāmījī. Slowly, slowly, it permeates the entire heart, every part of the body, and each of our energies. That is the most important thing. Have you heard it? Do you all have Gurujis? Haven’t you heard? This is a beautiful and great blessing. I was always in search. I already know Deo-Guruji is the Supreme. Speaking of Gurujīs, like Brahmā, like Viṣṇu, like Śiva. But I want to and I seek my origin. I want to have my origin because Guru, Satguru, Guru must have their roots in order to begin. And thus, Satyuga, Dwāparayuga, Tretāyuga, and Kaliyuga. I would like to know, where is mine, for my Bhaktas? I want to take my bhaktas with me, to bring them there. And so, for twelve to thirteen years, I observed the people in the Himalayas. Especially our Doctor Shanti. She was in the Himalayas. And so, the path from the Satyugas, Alakapurījī, came into our bhajans, into Mahāprabhujī’s bhajans. It was also written by Mahāprabhujī, by Selma, Allak, and some Vajra; Allak is mentioned there as well. Purījī was in the Satyuga. I found many things, then I received a book. You all might know the book. Or you can look for it. In Germany, certainly in a good... how do you say... in the, where the books... how do you say that? The Alakapuri Glacier is in the Himalayas and is approximately 30 kilometers long. In the Himalayas, there is the Alakapuri Glacier. You see it in all the scriptures and everywhere in the government. And these Alakapurījī’s glaciers are called Rājadhānī. Rājadhānī means, what is it called? For example, the capital city in Germany, where is that? Berlin. And so it is with Alakapurījī. And there is a river flowing. This is called Alakamanḍā. Alakapurījīs, his disciples—one of his female disciples, her name is Devī Śakti, and she has the name Satyuga; it was the time of Satyuga, written there. All written everywhere. And Devī, she was with the cows, always with the cows, came upon a tiger. He then wants to chop a cow, how do you say, at the purchase. The Devī, Nanda Devī, her name is Nanda Devī, she came as a cake, stands before the tiger and says, "I know you will eat me, but do not come closer. Fulfill my two wishes, then you can eat me. One thing, here in this tree trunk where I stand, shall be my temple. And secondly, my name with my master’s current with his." Alakapura is the Alakanadī River. And now together it is the Alaknandā. One side is Alaknandā, the other side is Bhagīrathī. The two rivers come together in Devaprayāga. One is the whole, or precisely the real Gaṅgā River itself. All of that is in the scripts. There are many, many estates there, about 200 km by 200 km. All these properties are called Nandādevī Forest. It is known that Pārvatī, Pārvatī has the Gaṅgā, and Gaṅgā has Pārvatī. Pārvatī wished to be married to Śiva, but it was not possible. So Pārvatī went into the forest. And someone said, there is a Śiva-Liṅga, Śiva’s temple, and you go there, and there is a Nandā-Devī festival. She will come to you and she will give to Śiva that she has married. And so, the Nanda-Devī, there, the temple and everything, has come to Melā, Vibhīṣaṇga, Melā. Śiva and Pārvatī, that is Dharma, Mahāsvāmī, Devī, Nanda, and Alakapurījī. Alakapurījī comes quickly on its own. That is the Siddha. In the Śira, there is the Devapurījī. Our Devapurījī was in these glaciers, in the mountains at 5,000 meters altitude, in the church. In this church, we found Devapurījī. And down there is the Alakapurījī area, which was there at the beginning. And there is the church of the Alakapurījīs. So, I found Badrināth, then I went to Badrināth. Eight kilometers from Badrināth is the cave of the Alakapurīs. So I went to the Badrināth temple, which is very, very ancient. The four holy places in the Himalaya include Badrināth. So I was asking all the priests, and they showed me the books. Yes, this is Alakhā. I will keep it brief because we have to go. I am a true Amandaleśvara of the Akkadās, and they have given me great respect. They have called me the Temple-Pīpal. It comes daily for three to five months. We can say that about 500,000 Indians come to this temple. You asked me what I can do for you. I went to the Darśana and they brought me to Bhagavān Viṣṇu, Śaṅkarācārya. I said, "I am going to the king of Alakapurījī. Can you tell me something?" He asked where I was. I asked, "Where is it?" He said, "It is here and there and over there." I said, "I will stay there for two nights." He said, "You will stay there in the church?" I said, "Yes. I have 15 people with me." The Lord of the temple said, "This month is the month of ceremonies." And so in Alankura, in the church, I said, "Okay, but there is no fire." In the Himalayas, there are only stones, very high, at an altitude of 3650 meters. "Okay, but can we cook a meal?" "No, not that either." "Tea?" "Not that either." "Can we perform an Agrabahaṭī-Pūjā?" "Yes, you can do that. There will be three nights there." The people from the temple have given me 40 kilos of dried fruits. And then he said not to let them sleep from 12 o’clock to 1 o’clock at night. "You can come out of your forests or from the box, and perhaps you will see something you have never seen before." I said, "Okay." I was in the woods, in the small woods. Two people can sleep there, five or six can sit in the forest. I had an evening impression, and two or three were by the door of the forests. All these mountains here, there are some reflections. No clouds, no airplanes. No airplane is flying over there. So I said, those are the Pūjās. Some Ṛṣis are there, some in the Himalayas. The next day, we were there as well. During the night, some people had certain visions. The next day, my security police were with me; there were about six or seven of them. They told me, "We cannot just eat. If we eat more and more, our stomach becomes somewhat injured." I said, "Okay, I will give you money, you go four kilometers from here, and there is a Sādhu, and he will give you money." And told him that he would give me some food and also bring me something cooked. So we returned. On that day, at that moment, there was a great, great energy in the glaciers of Alakapurījī. Alakapurījī was very pure on two occasions. Bejames is only in the kitchen, as if in the clouds. He appears three times now, when I was there. And each time I see him there, he sees me on a waterfall and his faces. So I have only photographed one person and am trying to... vaccinate them? There was always a different policy. Many people have accompanied me four times. Two years earlier, there were 300 people. This time, there were 200 people. It was beautiful. I did not only think that it was a struggle. No, it was. It is. In all literatures. In the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, there are 18,000 verses written in this book. In this book, Alakhā Purī Jaya is also written. In the Mahā Śiva Purāṇa, it is also written Alakhā Purī Jaya. We have here photos of Alakhā Purī Jaya. And you should come from there. But not in Devapurījī’s Cave, that one is even higher. So I teach them a kind of Prāṇāyāma, so that they sleep at night, in the tent, and say, "Yes, you know. The best is to breathe quickly and breathe. If you want to go somewhere, then breathe through the nose and mouth simultaneously. Breathe in through the nose and breathe out through the mouth. Then the lungs contract. And so does the Prāṇāyāma." Yesterday I taught you this Oṃ. There came this Oṃ from Alakapurījīs, and that was the Nabhi. I explained it to you yesterday. So, Alakapurījīs. Now I am like you. That is all. I only work. The great faiths that they are, perhaps one day you will tell me a little about them, or not, I do not know. But I take all my own faiths as part of this path. Forget everything. Let only your true self be. One day, he went to another Guruji, to Gurujī Śrī Rinpoche. It is not so difficult, but we do need a little of these practices. And then come the people who protect us, the protectors; they carry everything and all that. And it is a beautiful Himalaya, such a beautiful Himalaya. And unfortunately, 60 percent of the glaciers are destroyed. I was there four times; the first time I was in Kampong, there was snow and glaciers. The next year there were glaciers. In the third year, I could see on the hips that there was something. And this time it was very, very rare. We cannot help. If all governments do this and that, then they do that. Alakhā Purī Jīs. Alakhā Purī Jīs is written there in a book called Gavi Kālidāsa, and it is titled Meghadūta. A book is called Meghadūta. Gavi Kālidāsa lived 2300 years ago. 200 years before Jesus was Kavi-Karī-Dāśvara. And in all the universities, in the libraries in India, especially here in Germany and also in America, in many. But now you can get the book in Sanskrit and English. So, everyone leaves. I must leave too. Oh, I am from Alakapurījī. I am the Nabhi Nāvala. I was Guru Mahāmaṇḍalī, I was Paramahaṃsa, I was Mīmāṃsā, I was Ānandajī, Gurudevākī, Jaya.
