All dear brothers, sisters, all bhaktas, all practitioners, all yoga practitioners, all around the world, everywhere. The people, our bhaktas, are everywhere in the world. You know, even in Brazil—where is India and where is Brazil?—also Australia and many other countries where our bhaktas are. There is, in Australia, in the center of Australia, a very big rock. That rock is known as the navel of Australia, exactly at the center. This rock was worshiped by all in Australia, the Australian Aborigines. It is said that they were from India. For them, this rock is very holy, and many people go there just to see, but more people go to worship. So, around the whole world, everywhere, there are some miracles in the stones, in the water. Exactly where the rock is, there are our Sampaktas. There is another center city of Australia where, about nine years or something more, I planted a banyan tree there in that park. All the government officials came, and that tree is growing very beautifully. Everything I was planting is written on the rock. So the message is going throughout the whole world. Good things, spiritual things, all become vegetarian, very peaceful. Similarly, we are also in this part, and in India, we also have these bhaktas from many great saints. Every country has its own language and its own prayers. Even when someone dies, they give them ceremonies in the grave, or some burn them in the fire. But still, that place—also like in North India, South India, Australia, the different countries—they also have the prayers. The Mexicans have very big worship on the beautiful, the wooden ceremony, as well as the rocks. So prayer is very important, but it depends if you have prayer from the heart. A few days ago, I told you about India and how they sit together if someone dies, and they worship the parents. These parents are their God, going through because they feel they are in connection with God. So every country has a different culture. Culture is different, and spirituality is different. God is different. All that we have to bring together. In this feeling of the humans, many people did not give them that kind of knowledge—the nature and the life of other creatures—that is more have been and is in India. But not all; still they have their tradition: fish, hunting. They are in the forest. But those who come more close and come in their mind, "Oh my God, I kill these living creatures and I eat them." So, very rare people, but now many, many are following, and especially, you know, the Jainas. The Jainas were respecting very much not to kill any animals, not to cut the trees, and many other things. And in their prayer, they have. And prayer is for everywhere, in every country. The Vedas are only prayer, not the thing. The knowledge was given very, very clearly. But, of course, they can write different things. The Vedas and the Bhagavad Gītā are just a little part of that. That language is such that no one can change one alphabet. That is something, and in that is the science, what we call. Not only religion, everything. So, where do we pray, what is the prayer, and where should we pray? Yes, you can listen to a prayer anywhere. If someone is praying, we can also be there to pray with them. But there is only one prayer, and that is that we have the Guru Paramparā. All that they call the Guru Paramparā, also the Indians, the other countries, all people, they have this tradition everywhere. Let’s see, very simply, you can say that now it’s very much, you know, there’s a Christian, and they have, first they say the Father, and that is Śiva. And then Jesus. Now, it doesn’t matter which kind of Christian it is, they have many, many, many. Not only that, Indians have so many, but Christianity also has so many in America. If you go there, there are many, many different kinds of branches. But at the same time, they all say, "Amen." Amen means Om. So after this, all comes there in this. Regarding Jesus, there is a paramparā, and about Jesus, many people say yes and many say no. But there is a book written that Jesus was in India for many years, in, where is it, Banaras. In Banaras, it is written somewhere on a stone, they said, from Jesus. We can go and see. So prayer is prārthanā, prārthanā,... prārthanā. There is someone’s morning praṭhanā for the students and everybody. And that I forgot, when the school that was very good, but now forgotten perhaps. Uth Jag Musafir Bhorbhaya, Ab Reina Kaha Tu Saratahe Uth Jag Musafir. So this prayer, it is a prayer: get up. Now, there is no more night. It is the dawn, and the sun will rise. So this, everyone is praying everywhere. So, therefore, also, paramparā, guru, paramparā. So we have our people, you know, you have all very big, nice, our Gurujī’s, Mahāprabhujī’s, Devpurījī’s, and all our prayers. You know that prayer, no? Yes. I think you can see how big my face is, no? So this prayer, Sri Guru Āratī, is performed in the morning, at midnight, at midday, and in the evening. Morning, midday, and evening. There is a Satguru Āratī that is for a disciple, for a bhakta, for a spiritual aspirant who wants to do it; he or she has that prayer. Of course, there are other bhaktas, other gurus. Of course, there are gurus. It is that prayer. And that one is a general prayer, which is what we are always singing. But the master’s, guru’s, paramparā’s prayer and others who make the prayer are not coming together. They cannot make that prayer. They will tell something and something and something, make them, but not a prayer. And so, Om Jai Gurudeva Niranjan, Dīna Hita Kari. That beautiful bhajan of ours, Om, you know, is everywhere. Jaya is a victory. What kind of victory? The victory from this world in this life to go to liberation, to the Brahmaloka, that is the jaya, the victories, the glories. Guru Deva, therefore Guru is that Deva, Deva is God. Some say the different Deva. Yes, Deva is also God. You will say, "Swamī gave God?" There is no Swami. There is only one God. There is one tree, a beautiful tree. On the tree, how many leaves, then how many flowers, then how many fruits, how many branches, how many creatures, and how nice the plants are. The bark of the tree, the tree, and the roots, this all is one. Only the trunk is nothing. Only the trunk is nothing. Similarly, this trunk is only holding, that’s all. The holding is the roots. If the roots are dry, the trunk will sooner or later fall down and become rotten. So, the roots, where are the roots of the Guru, Paramparā, Guru? That is where we have to go. Therefore, Om Jaya Gurudeva Niranjan, Niranjan,... Nī means nothing, rañj means the spot. Not any negative thought, feelings, this, that—all what we call, all our, what we call, all different kinds of thoughts, feelings, etc. So, Niranj. "Ni" means nothing, no nothing. We can say only the space is space. In the space, there is no space spot. All the stars, sun, moon, everything is there, but beyond that is all space. Ni means not Ranjha, no spot, no Ranjha at all. Then you are, or we are, or I become really now that goes to that, or that place, and on that path of that Guru Paramparā. Not otherwise, not this, and left and right, and this. Okay, we are all doing so many things, but these are only thorns on the trees. So you are sticking your hand in there, like this thorn, horn, that’s everything. So, paramparā, why are we praying every day? We are trying to come on this path. Again, in the daytime, we made so many things. But again we come, and we pray that also when you sleep—many religions, Christians, before going to sleep, they are saying something to God. When we get up, they also say something. So why? All that I have done in the daytime, whether good or bad, my Lord, I give it all to you. And please give me what you think is good for me. That’s it. That’s it. And what? It is said, "God, I did not think of you." I went to some dancing, and there and then, God, I forgot completely. But when you come to the end of God, I did not think of God. I did not think of Gurudev. Many things are there. So, therefore, remain with us, and jealous is the burning. Jealous means burning, so you are burning in the fire, burning in the fire. And you know, that’s what they are doing, these people who are killing the animals now, that they, living animal gives with the rod. And hang them there and burn fire down is not the sin, so you will say that this is therefore so. When we, whatever we do again in our prayer, we get forgiveness. Morning you can say, every hour you can be still always. Otherwise, we are doing many good things, but this good thing is just not. Have to be complete. Niranjan. So, "ni" means no, "ranj" no sorrow. Niranjan Deenān Hithkārī. Deenān—"deen" is that, a very poor, poor person. Many things are very painful. We are with our ego, our anger, our jealousy, our hate, our this. That means you have no, you are not an Nirañjan. You are with a lot of spots and spots. So Deen, Deenan, a lord, you are my lord. I am poor and lost. Hitkarī So, Gurudev, you are taking care of the disciples. That’s why he is called Hitkārī. Who is Hitkārī? Hit means who is doing good for you. Any work you are doing here, you are helping, helping, helping. Nith Hitkari. Hit means the helper. And God is for us. It will be. It cannot be that all humans in the whole world will be like that. This is the Brahmaloka, the land of Brahmā. It is from the recess. I cannot tell, but it is. It is, but it does not mean that all of us living in India are also holy. I don’t know. Only once a year we burn the holy. So, it is that holy land, the rivers, and many things because the ṛṣis were in that. So, it is Om Jaya Gurudeva Niranjan, Dīnāna Hithkārī, Swami Dīnāna Hithkārī, Hithkārī, in every aspect, helping, giving, and will lead us there. Jaya Jaya, Jaya Jaya, O Gurudev, Your victory, Your victory. Achala, Achala, Chala and Achala. Movable is the Chala, and which is not movable is Achala. And so the sky is Achala. The rest, everything is moving. The moon is moving, the sun is moving, the stars are moving, the water is moving, the land is moving, everything is moving. But that one is that, like that’s called Brahmaloka, Brahma. There is no more movement. And it is there in every tree, every human, every animal, everyone. And in that, you think, "Ah, it’s moving." Gurujī is moving. Gurujī’s body is moving. But that knowledge, that light, that spirituality, whatever we call it, that is the step-bill. That’s it. Our body will die, and we cannot. If we don’t move with our body, then we are a stone. We need today that yogīs have to move very well to do this and that. Premanajī has to go there and there. Agnī Devī has to cook and give. And I also have to eat, so I am also moving. So the physical body is there, but the body is still that. Whatever we can gain, do it in this life. And I have given you time, O human, now I give you freedom. In this life, now is the last point. Do it. You can get it or lose it. So, if you can lose it, it’s gone. Or if you get it, you can keep it there. Therefore, Jai Jai Achala Pada. Pada is a step, movement, everything that we can do. And so this Achala Pada, though it is not moving, it is Achala and Nicala. So we are... so it means, what is this Pada? Our thoughts, our feelings, our wishes, our speech, everything, that is the strength, that is called Pada. So, Jaya Jaya Achala Pada, Murat, and that Muratī is a Gurudev. The Gurudev will not move here and there, and you will also not move here and there; then you and the Guru are one. It is said that there is a stone, Pāras, the Pāras stone, and I have been searching for many years, and in many, many lives I was searching for the Pāras, and we have the one Pāras, she is down in the Czech Republic, in Strilky. Paras. If you can get a paras stone, my God, you have everything. So what does a paras do? What a paras does, what a paras is doing, is that if you touch any stone, it becomes gold. Then it is a parasite. So that’s why we are not hugging every day, because they will not give us the gold. But you are going to one pūjā here, one pūjā there, one time here, one time there, like this boy here. There is nothing, but it will become gold. If you touch, Paras comes, and maybe in the Jadan field, there is one stone, and we are kicking that stone. We don’t know what that is. Who is that? Paras is not looking like, oh, something. No. But when it is touching paras to the stone, that stone becomes gold. But it is said, Gurujī said, that pāras can turn into gold, but pāras cannot make the pāras. This is the difference between guru and disciple. That’s it. Paris can make gold, but a Guru can make a Guru. That is the difference. That’s it. And so, it doesn’t matter if you have gold or silver or iron or anything, but you are not a Paris. But Guru Kṛipā He Kevalam, Śhiṣhya Ke Ānanda Kamalam. So, what Gurudev is making, he knows, and it is not that you think only of one guru. One guru will make a hundred gurus, but all hundred have the same path. Then it is a guru; otherwise, the other is split and is gone. You have everything. You will speak everything, give respect. But you have inside, inside you have that kind of duality. Then you cannot. Mahāprabhujī said, when he was saying to Mahāprabhu, "Gurujī, Gurujī, if I... when you... please don’t go away, but if you go there, please bring me again as a human." Because I want to be with you, I don’t want to go anywhere. And I know, Gurudev, you will come. Or if you are in Brahman forever, then take me also to Brahman. That means that you are truly a disciple and a guru. Now you may have a thousand disciples. A thousand is one, and one is a thousand. And that’s what Holy Gurujī said: one in all, and all in one. That’s Prathānā, what this Prathānā has Mahāprabhujī written, Mahāprabhujī. So, "Jai Jai Achala Pada Murathi" person, and he is making freedom from Bandhan to Nirbandhan. So, Bandhan, Bandhan Hari. No, that’s Bhavabandhan Hari. Bhavabandhan Hari. So, all fear that we have, it is taken by Hari. Mahāprabhujī cleaned up. Why are you afraid? Why are you this? Because you have Vavin in the Gurudev and Gurudev in. So, this is very much what Gurujī says. Hari Om Jai Jai... Guru Dev. Therefore, Hari Om, Hari Bhagavān, Viṣṇu, Hari Om Jaya Jaya, Thy Glory Glory Glory, O Gurudev Glory Glory. So this is our first prayer. Oṁ Jaya Gurudeva Nīrañjanādi Nānahitakāre, O Swāmī Nāhitakāre With the God with the horse. Okay. So, therefore, prayers. This is the beginning. Tomorrow I will continue. But you know that many people are waiting. Many people are waiting for some bhajans, singing from our ashram and Santosh. Yeah. Santosh is good. Santosh and Pushpa. She is only Pushpa, because she is a Pushpa, she is a flower, and a bee comes inside and then bites her, oh God, but she is peaceful. Alright, some bhajan please. Thank you. Jaya Chala Dhamurata, Jaya Padma Dhamurata, Bhava Dhanahari, Hari Om Jaya Jaya. So, which bhajan are you going to sing? Come on. Hmm? Uta?
