Good evening, dear sisters and brothers. Today is a wonderful and very special day. Yesterday was the eleventh day of the moon. The moon has two phases from the new moon. When the new moon first comes, on the first day we cannot see it because it is very close to the sun. The second time is what we call the new moon. For everyone, to see this new moon is a great blessing. Many spiritual energies come to us. On this day, everyone waits to see the new crescent moon when the sun sets. It brings great luck, harmony, and peace. But sometimes we cannot see it because of clouds. That is also important, but we cannot see. Yet we should know that on that day, it is the new moon. Muslims also observe that new moon; they see it and then they eat or drink accordingly. They have a yearly ceremony on the second day of the new moon. Similarly, it is an Indian festival too, because Islam is not so ancient. In this Kali Yuga, when it began, more religions emerged. Everyone tried to create a religion. Why not? It is okay. After that comes the eleventh day of the moon. That is a very powerful energy, especially for women. On that day, there are particular times to eat and to know which kind of food one should eat. Once a year, married women fast for 24 hours, not eating or even drinking water. Why? Because this moon has such strong energy, and every woman worshipping that moon prays for her husband to be healthy, spiritual, wealthy, and to have a long life. The next day, after that moon, they drink water. The husband also respects her greatly and gives her something, and so it continues. After that, slowly, day by day, the moon grows until it becomes the full moon. The full moon is one of the best days for our entire earth and its vegetation. If we want to plant any fruits, seeds, or grains, the best time is the second moon. Which second moon? The new moon. Sometimes we can see it on the first day at sunset. This is called the new moon, and if we put seeds in the earth at that time, it will be very good and they will not be much attracted by insects. You can experiment with this. Here in New Zealand and this part of the world, we do not see this, but we see it in Europe. In Europe, on Christmas Day, everyone has a tree in their house. People worship that tree, putting many nice flowers, lights, and decorations on it. On that day, Christmas Day, it is a tradition to decorate this tree. It is a cold day, and we have beautiful white snow everywhere, on all the trees, peaceful and beautiful. Parents, mostly the ladies, mothers, and sisters, tell the children, "Go and sit in the other room. Don't make noise." They say that the little baby Jesus will come and put something under the tree for you. The children believe and sit waiting. "When will Jesus come?" The parents say, "The bell will ring." The children sit asking, "When will it come? When will Jesus come?" You see, this is something. Like Naginbhai said, "Gurujī kī jai, uskī jai, uskī jai." It was not proper, but anyhow he did it. If you do this jay in such a way, anyhow, that's it. But he does good, and that is very good, better than more. So it is a hard part with the snow, very nice, with long nights and short days. They put everything nice there: chocolate and gifts for the children. The parents give something—a dress, or coal, or other things for the children. It is exactly that time after sunset when the bell rings in the church, and then the parents come. That is why I am talking about something else. So then, the children are all in the room, standing, little children asking quickly, "When, when will Jesus come?" Then the parents ring the bell and come in. The children say, "Where is Jesus? You were a little late." Because in the whole world, Jesus had to go to every house. "You were a little late. What can we do? But he gave you something under the tree." The children really believe. Children of about two, five, or ten years believe. So when Jesus came, he came through the windows very quickly because he had so many things, but God did not forget you, children. He left something, look, and the parents put something inside. This is something. On that day, the children and all people have such happiness. Today is Jesus's birth, coming on Christmas Day. Similarly, if we all worship, and on that day one does not fight, and everyone comes together—parents from different villages, from many places—in other countries they come to the family together: mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, etc., and they sing nice songs. That is called worshipping something. We do not know when it was, but similarly, it is. About 150,000 years, one lakh fifty thousand years ago, God Rāma was incarnate. Before Rāma was incarnate, but when God Rāma came back from the forest—I will not tell this story now—on that day in the kingdom, because Bhagavān Rāma was a prince and God, people were coming in thousands, day and night. There were not so many highways and cars then, so people were coming. It was evening, so what? But people from that village or city... They were putting oil lamps under the trees and elsewhere so people could see the path where God Rāma would be. They kept a nice pot of water for the thirsty, and put fruits and something for eating, etc. At that time, this tradition began nearly 150,000 years ago with God Rāma, and that was the tradition of putting light under the trees. Jesus, they now have Christianity, but we also have a beautiful day, Diwali. Diwali means the flames. On that day, you see from the satellite the whole earth. You will see which country has more light: India. The whole of India is completely lit everywhere. On the same day, Australia has no lights, only some near the coasts. That is a little decision. Anyhow, that is a different thing. So this is how we worship God, and every god in everything. We should give the knowledge, give them that knowledge of God, or whatever it is. I was once long ago on the day of Lakṣman Purī. I was in Sydney, and in Sydney there is a beach called Wanda Beach. It was very hot. I was more in Europe, in the snow that day, and I came here. So I said, "Why? There is no snow." It was different. Then I said, "How do you worship? How do you become happy? We are happy. There is snow, and everything is beautiful. What do you people in Australia do?" He said, "We are very happy when it's a very hot day and we can lie down on the beach." That is also good. So this is how we are as humans, bringing that happiness, and that comes to the children. What children said, and so parents said. Parents should give the worship of many, many spiritual days. There is polygamous Christianity when they know Mother Mary, and then they know that she is getting pregnant, and then everything, and Jesus coming, many, many. In Europe, there are so many good ceremonies. Every country in Europe has a church, and it is so good. The children and the people learn that yes, it is a religion, and this is God. Finally, after this, one very bad thing happened: we said that Jesus was on the cross. But that also, people went and Mother was there. Then they took Mother down, and you know everything was. We also worship; we worship the day of Jesus. They generally say that Jesus is hanging on the cross for all of you. I am for this. Similarly, in Hindu traditions, everything is exactly like this. Now, the Hindu gods, as we said, were incarnations. This is another point. Where is the incarnation of God? Jesus said, "I am not God. I am the only child of God." Who is the God we worship? But also, we do not say that. We say only Jesus, God's son. So one day it happened when I was in India, and then I went to Europe. I was in the Soviet Union; there were a lot of my classes, my yoga disciples, men of 20 or 22 years, with beautiful yoga practice and everything in the Soviet Union, and after again Khyambi. Mostly, there are so—one person asked a question to holy Gurujī, my Gurujī. They asked Gurujī because Gurujī came to Europe with me there, and someone asked the question: "The twenty-four incarnations of God, and why do they all—why does God have incarnations in India? And not somewhere else, Gurujī? Please give the answer." So Gurujī said, "It is very easy. Where there is a crystal, or the stone, or the diamond, the mines of the diamond will always come only diamonds. And where there are coal mines, the coal will come. And where there is iron, it will come, the iron. So it means, in India, the gods are those diamonds." Holy Gurujī said that you should ask God. So, why in India? Therefore, India, we call it a holy, holy earth. We believe Jesus was born there; we also take that as holy, very holy. Everyone said, "A holy," but still Jesus said, "I am not a God. I am the son of God." And now this of the thirteen gods is incarnated, and the fourth is coming, getting ready. But God, that comes—when does God come? In yuga-yuga, it means one after the other: Satya-yuga, Dvāpara-yuga, Tretā-yuga, and Kali-yuga. So, in every age, God comes. That means when everything becomes very destructive, then God comes. So, it is called nimitta and nitya. Nimitta and nitya. Nimitta is a Hindi or Sanskrit word. For example, why do you come to me? Because I need it, you come. Similarly, when this will happen on the earth—now a dark time is coming. So that time, now it is near, but not very much. You cannot imagine what will still happen. Therefore, through meditation, through satsaṅg, through bhajans, guru kṛpā, dharma, etc., we can go into the cosmic. On that day, when again distraction comes, like Naginwaj was telling, that one child was there and he could have fallen into the volcano. Yes, but he somehow came, and that is that God will protect all like this and come to the cosmic Self, and the rest all again will be like in the fire and in the cold and whatever it is. Everything is like in one pot; we will put everything in it so that it will come. Therefore, Nimitta, the God, Viṣṇu, will come again on that day. Now, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva. The first is Śiva, then is Viṣṇu, and then is Brahmā. In every age, these are for every age. So first Śiva will come, next time comes Viṣṇu, next time comes Brahmā. So they are always turning. For example, you have the parliament and different prime ministers. So every time one is changing, and therefore it is not so easy that thousands and thousands of years is not that Viṣṇu or that will come. But the same God is coming. One is Nimitta and the second is Nitya. Nitya means every day. Now that God is incarnating every day, everywhere on the earth. And that our child may be, is that God? You do not know. That is why we are surviving, nimitta and nitya, every time. You do not know if he is a God or not. But these gods are in that which we call the saint. And so, in that holy energy comes from that Śiva and from the God. After that, when this all begins again in the difference, then again there will be many, many distractions. Then again, Śiva will come or Viṣṇu will come. Now, in that, is this ceremony on this? That is called guru and śiṣya. So we are always we call nitya. And in nitya is that everywhere, God's power is in you also. It will appear to you. But sometimes it is said, I do not know, but you can say, in the water there is one fish, and it is that one which has inside, in the fish, moti, pearl. And that pearl, how is it coming? That is mute. But many pearls are there, but still not that. That is that pearl, and that is when the rain comes, this fish comes out of the water and opens its mouth, and one drop of the water comes in. That bur of the fish, it goes in. That becomes one of the best pearls. That is one of the best pearls. Everything there is, scriptures are written everywhere. But second, then, the nimitta god, the nimitta god, which is coming a long, long time again. But then there is no God, because God has gone away. Krishna is gone, Rama is gone, they have all gone. What should we do? So we said, "We do not have the God." But Sanātana Dharma it is called. And in Sanātana Dharma, there is God, ever and ever there present with us. And that is why we have a Dharma. Now, you said Christianity is very good, Jesus is very good, great, we can believe. But now, nobody said—mostly they do not say also—Jesus is a God, but we are calling him God. But after that, nobody, it is only the Pope. And the Pope, or others, are different. There are also others sitting on this chair, but it is not God. So it means, you will say, there is only God: Kṛṣṇa, Jesus. Similarly, in India, they are called in Punjab, what do we call them? Sikhs. You know, they always have the turban. So they have the turban, Sikhs. They have great, great real devotion. But it is said that there is a holy book, Guru Granth, and there the last was Guru Nānak. And Guru Nānak has written in the holy book; finally he said, there will be no more, further no God. It will be only that. What is the Guru? This holy book. How? So it is said, "Guru Granth Ko Jānīye, Pragat Gurū Kī De, Jiske Mīnme Hirade Mein, Sāch Uske Andar Hai." So he said that this book is, inside is God. And you can read in that God, that is all, but there will be no more guru. No more guru will come; no more guru comes. And we worship, and we, as Sikhs, we brought the holy book here. They will always bring it with the head, not putting it down, because it is that holy book. But it is that. Now we do not know when it will come. Second, Jesus is gone, and that I will, so what do we have? The Holy Quran? No, the Bible. The Bible is our holy book, and Jesus. But not anymore. There are many popes, many, they are all worshipping that God, and so it is also only one. Similarly, they said Allah, Allah, but you do not know why Allah, why are you doing this? Allah is there, and we believe in Allah very much. But Allah means that God for all. And we know, we said, "There is only Allah, nobody else." So this Islam, they worship, they do not worship. They only bow down to Allah, Allah. And the Quran, holy book. Also there, but not anymore. Coming second insight: Therefore, the living religion, the living religion is the Nitya Hindu Dharma. That is the truth, whether you believe it or not. And therefore, everyone has a guru. Every house has a guru. So I have my guru, my mother, and my family. All of us have our guru. And my guru, if you choose another guru like that who has that capacity, then the master goes, but the guru takes them. So we worship them, that disciple, the guru. And therefore, they are getting, so there is some orange dress, some white dress, some black dress, some red dress. That dress is not a reality, but it is what you have got as a master of the master. And many, many disciples, thousands of disciples, you have. But out of that, one pearl, you will get that one. Or one beautiful crystal. Not a crystal, the diamond. And so, but diamonds are there. It is not that only one. And therefore, it will come. And it will come. It will come, but when darkness comes, now is the Kali Yuga. This is called the Kali Yuga. Kali Yuga is black. And Kali Yuga is already in the Vedas and in the scriptures, written already. Written already, how he will come, how it is. And very soon he is coming now. He will come riding on a horse. And so, but before that, we will go to the cosmic. And when that Bhagavān comes, the God, then you will see always in the hands of the God, in one hand is a weapon and in the other hand is a blessing or a very good thing, because when you are good, then it is everything good. And if it is like that, devils, then they will take this. So it is not that God is using the weapons, but we need the weapons. And sometimes, rākṣasas are so far that even God can take his head away, and again they will come. Again, it will come. Then what happens? That is a very interesting logic. Then Śakti, the female, that Śakti, she comes and she also has weapons. She is a divine mother, and she also will destroy the negatives. Many times they chip them down. Again the Rākṣasa comes. Again, some nine nights were fought, and on the ninth night, those rākṣasas were finished. So we worship Mother. You cannot imagine. All the ministers in India, everyone in their house, they have the worship of God and the Śakti. This is, yes, goddess, and that is within. So do not think it is like this. The women, the females, are the Shakti, the power of this. But that Shakti who has got this knowledge, and she knows that it is mine. Again, I will not change myself. Everyone will come and try to go out and out me, and try to give me, how to call, poṭā karke, kisi ko poṭā karke deśa de. So do not go. That Shakti, that mother, you are sitting, many ladies here, and I cannot tell you if you are or not, but you can be. You are, you can be. That is for that master, that guru, or that God, far. He sent now the Śakti. Do not think that Śakti is very young. No, she is old and old. She is old and old. And even before that, the Shakti comes. Do not think that she is old. She is not old. She is not all the time. She is young, and who is young? She cannot think that, "What I will do, how long I will be, and this." That is sa-prāṇa, energy in that. I will bring you one day, perhaps, there is one beautiful book. You cannot imagine that Shakti's mother, and she is... Even the rākṣasas are coming like buffaloes, coming like tigers. Many, many things there, and these are the negative attacks for our females, or the males also. So it is not easy, my dear, that you are, close your eyes and have meditation. Yes, Aum. Yes, this is just some guru kṛpā. And that guru kṛpā is that, and the guru also does not die. Guru kṛpā is there. How? He put in his disciples, and it can also be female, because there is no difference between male and female. It is human, and it has insight. You cannot be love. That is why you said, "Learn." And even thousands are there, but the Master's eyes are only on the one or two, because there is a light on the face of that disciple. It does not matter, male or female, there is a light. And she does not see herself or him. Others cannot see, but there is a light in him. Beautiful. It goes, each and every hair standing up. Sometimes one understands, and sometimes it is like, so this is what we are doing. Do not think that a little meditation and a little practice, and this and that, there are many things to do. But as I am telling you, that is the reality of what we do. So Jesus is a power, Jesus is energy, Jesus is everything, everything. And we are all worshipping, and they are, they do not want, they do not say the Pope is like this and like this. But you know, when the Pope comes, you come to visit the Pope, then you will kiss the ring from the Pope's hand. Many, they touched the feet. Why this? What is that ring? That ring is not the Pope's. The ring was given as Jesus's ring, and we kiss this to Jesus. We are all one. There are some different cultures, different countries, and so for that we are worshipping according to that. But at the end, there is only one. So, therefore, our Gurujī, Swami Madhavānandjī Bhagavān said, "One in all and all in one. All is in one, and all one is in one. One in all and all in that, but think over, meditate over." So, when that, what Gurujī said, my Gurujī said, that there are 500 goats and one lion comes. What will they do? Five hundred sheep and one lion comes, or the tiger. All will be just like how the clouds are disappearing. Like that you should be. Do not think that there are more or less, or not. There is one story, a little story. I say stories are very good, no? And you can see, look at the picture on the Gurujī's, a cameraman. Yes, talk there, that is very nice. He is already here, so just go that side. And I will tell you how you can, yes, it will be. Something will happen. Just go to the only altar. Do not show him, do not show her, do not show me. Just like that, you will see. And I will show you the reality. I tell you the reality, because yes, you see the reality? Yes, and that you also feel it. You feel it. And that is the hidden, that hidden power, that is what we call hidden powers in humans. That is it. And in that, in those qualities, and in that, again, this is called one drop of water in our palm. And one drop of the water is in our palm. That is the water. And below our hand is the ocean, but first you have to concentrate on one. And that is why you see the concentration of the Gurujī, Bābrabhujī. And now this drop of water, this one, goes down into the ocean. And then, within no time, you cannot take this drop back again. You become the ocean. You become the ocean. And so you are the drop of that, as a disciple. Always leave it in your hands; take it. And one day, that drop, what you gave the Gurudev in the palm of the hand, drops into the ocean. And that ocean is endless, endless. So, in this way, if you want to become, you have, you are. You do not go anywhere, because you have it inside. You have your mantra and blessings. Now you have inside, sometimes it is a fire inside. Sometimes it is a hurricane. Yes, and sometimes beautiful, everything, in and out, all the elements in our body. So that is what I wanted to tell, that eternal journey, the eternal journey of the humans inside. Do not think that you go on a journey now, walking up in the hills. No, no, no. These all hills and all this your country, what is called the Valley, and not Wellington, the whole New Zealand, the whole New Zealand is a very tiny, of the tiny, in the universe. But your body, it is in your body, all is universe. But meditation, that is why it is like a Dīvālī light, the moon. The moon and the sun will suddenly come. It said about ten days, or five days, or seven days. They said, "The sunrise." In these twenty-four hours, once we have the sun, but when we become as high as the sun, then one day you will always be in the sun. And therefore, it is said, Devpurījī, that Mahāprabhujī is sitting on the door of the sun, and you will go into through, nobody can understand, and there will be Devpurījī's, that is it. And they are all these goddesses; they are one in you. But this is a living, living, ever and ever. It will be living. They are there, and you are all here. All God is, all this. So we will meditate tomorrow morning again. I hope you will be here. Like we had, tomorrow is Sunday, so we will do some program, very nice. And tomorrow evening, it will be something different. And so I thought, but I, and I brought to you. Now your heart is completely purified, but like this, and how? How? It is minus 25 degrees. Not frozen, cold, and you are standing. And what is happening in the heart? Yes, very cold. And you jump in the water and come out, that is the condition of you now. But others said you are melting because fire is in the water and hold the water, cold water, or the, or the, um, what you call the bar of ice. Catch the ice in your hand and after half a minute or one minute, your hand is not freezing, but fire, inside fire. And so this fire is then purifying everything. This sādhanā, which I told you this morning, tomorrow we will give you more techniques. But these techniques are, you should use it or you lose it. That is it. Guru Swāmī Madhavān jī, Bhagavān kī Alakpurī jī, Mahādev kī. Om Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ... Om.
