Part 1: The Essence of Guru's Grace and Bhajan Kāma-dam Mokṣa-dam caiva Oṁ Kārayaṇāmo Namaḥ. Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvara. Gurur Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ. Dhyāna-mūlaṁ Guru-mūrti, Pūjā-mūlaṁ Guru-pādam. Mantra-mūlaṁ Guru-vākyaṁ, Mokṣa-mūlaṁ Guru-kṛpā. Om Śānti, Śānti, Śānti. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai. Devādhideva, Deveśvara Mahādeva Kī Jai. Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandjī Bhagavān Kī Jai. Satya Sanātanadharma Kī Jai. The words of Gurudev, Gurudev’s writings in the book, from their knowledge and understanding—that is the real knowledge. Otherwise, it is only external, like what we learn in school. But Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalam—why is it like this? When and how? Therefore, even Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, and all others offer devotion to Gurudev. Our Lalanīnji Mahārāj’s bhajan, and our dear Susilā—she is not Susilā, but Parās, Puṣpā, yes Puṣpā. What is Puṣpā? Oho! Everyone is looking for the Puṣpā. Even Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, Guru, even Śakti, all are expecting Puṣpa. Pushpa means the flower, and the flower is beauty. A very small, tiny seed grows into a tiny grass, but it becomes a beautiful, big flower with a beautiful fragrance. It always makes one happy. The Pushpa should always be happy. Sometimes, Pushpa is also like it is down. And why down? Because it is not Pushpa’s mistake. The mistake is of the one who does not give more water, who did not give nourishment. When you come and water it again, then the Pushpa awakens again, smiling. Therefore, let us see what Gurudev’s bhajan is today. After that, I will translate our āratī, our prayers, our pūjā. What does that mean? I will see if Pushpa, she is so emotional, she will sing five bhajans. Then it’s okay, I will tell you tomorrow. But that is also more than what I will talk about. Therefore, my dear all bhaktas, all spiritual practitioners, many, many blessings. Let us come to this sādhanā, these bhajans, these prayers, this āratī, this pūjā. Japaṅ paśu arpakṣi pyāre, śubha aruṣyam. Oh my dear, evening and morning, even the birds and all creatures are chanting. You see the birds in the evening when the sun is setting, and also when the sun rises, how many birds are dancing and singing. When they are in their heart, why is a bird dancing, or why is she chanting? Because in their heart, there is happiness. So, bhajan awakens in the heart immense happiness, immense joy, and it makes all through this. So, bhajan—that is bhajan. Bhaj means practice, bhajan, and you should chant bhajan. So, Pushpā Jī, please, today, come and sing some night bhajan. Hari Om.

And Premanānjī, yours is the best. Respected Vishwagurujī, all friends of this beautiful bhajan who listened here in this hall and around the world, this bhajan came to you directly into your house, into your room via swamiji.tv. It was not even necessary to give an order to Amazon; it was delivered to you for free. This is the beauty and joy of bhajans that are part of our rich Guru Paramparā. As many of you know, bhajans are the base of our Guru’s teachings. They are so vast and rich, and they came from our Guru Paramparā through the direct experience of Mahāprabhujī, of Lalanānjī, of Holī Gurujī, and so on. They are pearls of wisdom. They are timeless wisdom, and they present the Vedas for us. I hope you very much enjoyed these bhajans. If you know a little about their meaning, you will go deeper into them, enjoy them more, and your feelings and devotion will grow. They may express a kind of bhakti experience, they may express jñāna, different types of yoga, different techniques, and so on. They give guidance through life, and they present and preserve the knowledge and teachings of our Alakhpurījī, Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā. So I hope you enjoyed and have joy in your heart. Please let us know, give us feedback—any kind of feedback, emotional, in kind, or even as a donation. Normally, I am not so happy to ask for donations or to remind you, but in this difficult time, we face many problems here in Jadan, especially with our school, our college, and our hospital. Even if there is nobody there, the children are at home... Is it allowed to come? The teachers have to stay at home. We still have to run, and the running expenditures are there. So I would like to ask you all, bhaktas, all devotees, all supporters of yoga and daily life around the world, if you can, please show your appreciation. You are most welcome to donate for a good cause, so that we can continue with our seva in this area of Pali district and within India. Thank you very much, and please, next time, enjoy more of these beautiful bhajans with Pushpa or anybody from here, from Jadan Āśram, Om Āśram.

Thank you, Pushpa and the group. Thank you. Blessed self, dear bhaktas, we all know that on the whole globe there is some kind of negative energy. There is a need to purify the negative energy too. But we all, as humans, don’t know why it’s happening. May we know it’s happening? Definitely, it is a cause formed by humans and, of course, from the pollution, which is also created by humans. In this one and a half months, and in one month, all people were staying at home, and they had family joy. They understood again, because the husband and wife—many of them are not at home. One is studying somewhere, one is an officer somewhere, one has a duty in Mumbai, one has in Delhi, or some have America, etc., etc. But now this has brought together the whole family, and we shall understand each other. We are singing many bhajans or songs according to the countries, according to their knowledge, their religions, etc. We know that day by day, something is again coming like waves, and sometimes receding again. We do believe in this summer time, and we will see that in the hot days. Definitely, we will overcome. We will overcome, we will overcome, we shall overcome, oh my, we will overcome one day. So, anyhow, in this way, we are trying to make humans happy. But, my dear, I think now more general people are more unhappy. Many countries are rich, and their governments are giving them something, but many people are saying, "No, we can’t get anything." In many countries, there are people who put it in the rooms. There are a few workers who were somewhere in different countries, from different countries. So the situation is not so good. But our Prime Minister Modi Ji said, "We will, we will overcome." Please wait, just wait a little more, and we will win everything, it is said. Now, it is like this for many. There is water in the water tank, and that water tank is full of water. How many, how do you call it, we call it, what do you call the water? Big meter, no, not only liters, but cubic meters. Yes, I must talk to Mr. Cubic, then I will understand more here, okay. But sooner or later, that tank slowly, slowly gets down and down. And there is a condition of the general people who have no work, and government work, and this and that, in many countries. The second one is a water well. The well looks inside; there may only be some trunks of the water, or let’s say 5,000 gallons of water. But from that, many villages can get this water, and there will always be water. Because that is coming from Mother Earth, that which we call in our water, vāyu. So there are two different things, but everyone is trying to help each other. So, to whom should I help? I can only help all through my words, my prayers, and with my friends to help each other. You know, my dear, in such a situation, the government takes the whole country over. For example, in India I would say many, many hotels are closed. The government has put those people who are ill in hotels, and also in many big temples and many ashrams, because where else to host them? My dear, all you listening, you have been building this, our Om Ashrams—not only the temple, but the college, the school, the hospitals, and the house, etc., etc. Now, you know that we have to somehow... we blocked our hospital because of a lack of doctors. So I think after a few months, we will ask some doctors from Europe to come and help. I will take permission from the Indian government and some Indians also. We will again make our hospital very nice. But you know, now our government took some of our machines to the government hospital in Pali. Very expensive. They come, and if I say no, they will take it because it now belongs to the government. But before, they said, "I will take it even if you don’t give." I said, "No, no, please take it." Yes. But they took the machines, and I told them that we are taking this to the government hospitals or to any hospitals where they don’t have those instruments. So we have all, and I said, "Please, today you got it. Take it as long as you need, and after, bring it back in the same condition, please." We have given a letter to the government, and the government has also given its signatures. Whatever will be, will be. But at the same time, you know that in our Viśvadīp Guru Kulsvāmī Maheśvarānanda Āśram, which is, we know, here and there, our hospital has 111 beds. And they are always eyeing it, so that when something happens, they will bring all their insight. But of course, I told them they can do it, but please take care of all our tools and close it so that no one else can come there. Part 2: Navigating Challenges with Faith and Service Similarly, we face two problems. The first is the government’s education department, and the second is the private sector. So private colleges, schools, and the students who pay their fees—for nearly two months now there has been no study, nothing. Śrī Śrī… Purījī, Purījī… Please give them a lesson. But it doesn’t matter; humans will never understand. The First World War, the Second World War—you know how strict we were and how we spoke about them. After just two or three decades, they are all forgotten; everything is forgotten. It has been like this, so we try to do something in our ashram as well. We have what we call Jadan Ashram and Om Ashram. Of course, for two months now our work is closed, and we don’t know how long it will continue. We were thinking that at the end of this year or next year we would have ceremonies, but I don’t know how far we will come. This is what we know as the Vishwadeep Guru Kul, Swami Maheshwarananda Ashram, Education and Research Centre. In this, we are all working, and our Jñāna Putras are waiting. So, of course, those who are paying for the Jñāna Putras can give through our Swāmījī TV, or you can continue sending support for them as you are doing. But for others—our school, our college—which we now have to help ourselves, there is a lot, and a lot of work is still to be done. They will also try to get some other rooms from us. They will take them, but they also said, "Government, Swāmījī, we hope we will not have this situation, that we can also bring them into the āśram or somewhere else." But there are some people who don’t understand. They run away out of the house. They have all these problems; they create gang problems. They give connection to this, like what we call the epidemic, yes. So we are trying to do, but in Rajasthan we have two places, two or three places. Otherwise, it is very peaceful, but still we don’t want anyone to go out. If you go out of your house, then there is the police standing. So immediately they go back in. Then, if someone runs away or comes from one house to another, they should remain two weeks in that house and not come into your house, because you are giving all this disease from here to there. So, my dear, we are giving, we gave, and you know, I am very happy that you gave about our 800 lakhs. From there we gave in three parts: to our governments, then 5 lakhs for the area of Vādīkhāṭū, Mahāprabhujī’s areas, and their area we also gave to the government. And also five lakh rupees, that is in Gujarat, for very poor people there, but we also gave it to the government. Because otherwise, if I give it to Premanand, and then I give it to Yoganand, then I am giving only to the government. Swamiji to the yogīs—I think this is enough. What about others? Then they will say, "Okay, Swāmījī only loves him and not others." So I gave everything, each and every penny, even every rupiah, we gave to the government. And how did we do it? That you should know. I want to tell you that this time the government was doing this. They said that we don’t need your money, or if you give the money, then give us the cheque. And the cheque will go to the highest possible collectors or something. And they will give it to our minister, and we don’t know, minister, where he is going, to here or here or… there. We don’t know. We gave, you know, many, many times. You people helped us very much. We went to Sri Lanka. We were there a very long time ago. Mahāprabhujīp Karatā He Kevalam, Mahāprabhujīp Karatā He Kevalam. We go to one company, and it is a big company. Now they have done. They have chapati, flowers, they have spices, they have oil, they have sugar, and they have tea. I said, "Please, no test of the sugar and this." No. Without chai, you can remain. One week, one month, need not to drink the chai, so no addiction. Masalas, oils, some potatoes, some kind of onions, because that kind of all the material can remain for two, three days, weeks. So, therefore, we—and again, what I want to tell you—is that when we all took it, made it this, then it was about 500 rupees per pocket. So one pocket was, how much? Five or six hundred rupees per person. And so we had this lot, and a lot we did, and there is still something we have to do. And so, some people are there, where people are. So now, what is this? If I take someone privately, then the whole village or all people will attack me. Because, Swamijī, you would only like them and not me. Therefore, everything is given to the government’s office. And the government said they have the list in this village, that village,… of how many poor people are there. And of course, he said, they spoke to me, the ministers, not a minister, the officers, and they said, "Swāmījī, of course we will give to your village also." I said, "Yes, but not me. You have to give." To whom you will give, how you must give, and so on. So in that case, I am very neutral. Also, in the kathā I gave, I just told one person, "You go to the government office and do this and that." The next day, it came in the newspapers. I don’t know, I told one person, and… Here is here, and second is a book on the other side, like this. Anyhow, but I said, so they at home, they came to the Śiva Āśram, Śivāgame, please, Swāmījī should give. He said, "We don’t know." So this we gave to the officers, and the officers will go there, and then they will give one person or two persons, officers, and one or two with them, and they have number, name, which village, and so they will give them. Of course, it is not only me or us, but there are also many, many other people giving to the people, so people are not starving; they are okay. But that is how we are developing. So this is how we are doing, and so now we have a little bit that we keep as a kind of reserve for something for this. So this is the condition. Now, day before yesterday, or two days before, the government gave the list. And the government lists for education. So, universities, colleges, and schools, they said that every teacher has to be paid. Others also, workers, this, this, this. And also, privately, there are private universities. There is also a college; we have a college. And then we have a school, a middle school, and a primary school. Purījī, Purījī… He was here. He liked singing bhajans very much. So he fell in love with Pushpa through the bhajans because she is really good, and other, what is your name, Dhokri? Mangal Maṇī, and there are many, many Maṇī. You see, she is singing. Pushpa is singing, and she is Maṇī. She has Maṇī. She is singing, and she has Maṇī. You see, that’s very good. So, how it is going? We still don’t know, but we are expecting that we can let our ashram, college, universities, and our children who are there begin to study this and that again, in that way. So we will go in this way, and that was how the singing was today, singing bhajan. There will be more bhajans again. We will get bhajans from Madhuram from New Zealand. So his bhajans will also be given here, and sometimes the flute as well. So this is all we are doing, and I know that our friends are helping. So, in this way, how we are giving this money, how we are using it, and how we are getting it—for each money, every one rupee, not rupees, but a rupee, a paisa, a paisa—nothing we put aside anywhere, nor are we taking one paisa. In Pramāṇa’s pocket or in Agṇi Devī’s pocket, or I have no pocket anymore now, you see. I’m like here. Yeah, so if I have it in my pocket, it goes out. Yes, but some people are thinking. Some people are thinking, and it was not good. It was a negative thinking, and said, "But you must take money there. You must give that, you know, but you have to give this." I said, "Yes, my dear, I will. I am giving." And then I will say that I will not ask you anymore for this. It will come to Agni Devī. That’s all. So it is, every, there is a positive and negative, both are very good. When someone tells it, it’s very good because there is one story. And the story of Mahātmā Gandhi. Mahatma Gandhi was somewhere in the city, and there was some work, and he came home. His children were playing with a balloon, and Gandhi came and said to Gandhi’s wife, "The children are playing with toys. From where did they get them?" She said, "I." So, from where did you get the money? She said, "From your office." She said, "That is not your money." And these are not for your children to play. And the next day, in the newspaper, Gandhijī wrote that Gandhi’s wife took the money from the people, from the draw, and used it for her own children. So, like, this is good to know: one is looking there, and this. But you know, in India we have a system, and without that system you cannot go. So we have from the very ground to the highest person, and they are standing there. Because now you have to be one meter distance, one and a half meters. But all are standing there, and their hands are clean, nothing. And then comes the Phūlpūrī. And Phoolpurī brings one kilo of butter from the freezer and from downstairs to give to the second. And he also gives further, and he gives further. He gives further. So, about 30 officers and 31 gates in the hand is a little warm. So, when it came back, it was not one kilo of butter. And they said, "Where is that?" He said, "We don’t know." We say in the name of God, we didn’t take anything; we took it in hand, and then we give it further. Now something remains. What should I do? So I put it on my hands like this, thank you. So that is how things are going in the, how to call it, business. But it is not like our India, our government is trying very hard. They are doing, and we are very happy that we are here. And many, many of my disciples in Brazil are suffering with this disease. In Mexico, they are diseased. From many, this Tasmania, my bhaktas in Tasmania, and there also it came, this disease. What can they say? So, you know, in Tasmania, my bhakta who is there? Hanuman Giri, yes, and he has an ashram and devotees. So, Swāmījī has spread so much yoga in daily life. And so now, yesterday, there were the high members of the Indian Yoga Association. And there they brought me because I am an international association. So, there is something all are doing very well. So, thank you, my dear brothers, my disciples, everyone. If you can do it, but don’t say, "Ah, God, again, okay, we give it," isn’t good, okay. Not like this, it goes from the heart. It goes from the heart, that is better, it is very good. That is a very, very good, very, very good seva. We don’t know in this Kali Yuga, we will come something like this, and how we will go. So that’s my, it’s very nice. Guruvarame Chalu Savunade.
