Part 1: A Prayer and Discourse on Spiritual Practice Satguru Swāmījī, Mādhavānandajī, Bhagavān, Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī. He Param Pitā Paramātmā, Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī. Haradī Bhagavān Śrī Devpurījī, Parabrahma Paramātmā. Bhagavān Śrī Mādhavānandajī, Bhagavān Kī Jai. He Param Pitā Paramātmā, Hame Sadbuddhi Dījiye. Bhakti Dījīye, Jñāna Dījīye, Sukha Śānti Dījīye. Sāre Viśvame He Mahāprabhujī, Sabhī Ko Śānti Karāye, Aur Sabhī Ko Niroga Rakhe. He Paramātmā, Main Usse Bāram Bāra Prārthanā Kartā Hū, Ki Sabhī Prāṇī Mātṛā Kī Rakṣā Ho. Oṁ Śānti Oṁ Śānti... We are active. We did what we can. Everyone had a different Śiva. Whatever we are doing, we are doing for Śiva. Śiva for whom? First, we are doing Śiva for all creatures. And second, we are doing the Śiva for our own self, that we feel healthy and happy. And that we can, the third Seva, Parivāraṁ Paramātmā, their service. After that, Mātā Pitā Kī Seva, mother, father, brothers, sisters, friends, and all living near our house. O Mahāprabhujī, give me Seva, each and every step, each and every thought, each and every action in the spiritual path. Spiritual means humbly taking care of everyone. You know, everyone said many things, but also said in the Bible, Jesus said, if someone gives a slap on your left cheek, then you can show the right cheek. Not with anger, not with hate, but with happiness. They thank you, "God, you make my mistake clear again." Feel the whole body. Chant with me, very nicely, silent, not too loudly, but of course we have to hear, but with great love, respect, happiness. Ānandam, Ānandam,... Ānandam Brahma Ānandam. Ānandam, Ānandam,... Brahma Ānandam. O Merciful, bless me with bliss, ānanda, joy, ānandoham. O Prabhu, give me peace, harmony, love, understanding. Ānandoham, Ānandoham, that I should be peaceful, happy, that I will be peace and happy. Anando Brahmanandam, that is so far that I become one, peaceful with Brahman. Brahman is the universe. There is nothing physical to see. But there is all: warmth, water, air, earth—all are in Brahman. When we wake up, we say, "My God, who am I? I am human." Second, what does it mean to be a human? And that is, do not harm any humans, animals, birds, or other life. But all other animals, they can attack us, but we should not attack them. Therefore, they do not have that knowledge, but we do. And therefore, we should protect ourselves and them too. Feed your body. Go within thyself. Feed your whole body. How it is doesn’t matter—healthy, or something painful, a little disease, many different things. But we shall solve the problems within ourselves with our inner knowledge. It is we who can solve the negativity which is awakening within us. Let them melt it. How you have the ice in your hand is very cold, very hard. But just hold it with respect, and that will melt it. It will melt it. And so we are hard sometimes, and therefore say, "Have a glass of water and wait a while." We will be melting into joy, love, peace, and harmony. Drink a glass of water, and after a few times, bring the glass of water and give it to your friends. Please take a glass of water, let them drink, let them drink that melted, melted ice cream. Yes, peace, peace, peace. Repeat your mantra, which is given to you by our Gurudev. I am human. I am human. I am human. Don’t run toward some knowledge too far. Some science, study anything is good. But this is only for this world, but our humbleness is in God, Śiva, Gurudev. Feel your whole body. I know that I am inhaling and I am exhaling. Oh my Lord, when I go to sleep, please, the whole day I work for others. I need your Śiva, now please give me comfortable sleep, but you protect me, like whole day you protect me, sleep, sleep, I am thy. We know that when we go to sleep, there are some more. The first is mother, how mother brings the child in sleep; father also tries. And second, Gurudev, or your sister, that makes us beautiful, the feeling of the human. I sleep, I sleep, the deep sleep, beautiful dreams, peace of being ourselves, my ātmā with Paramātmā. Relax, go ahead, what I told you, and bring your awareness to the navel, Nābhi. And feel the very beautiful movements of ascending and descending, breath, and expanding and contracting our stomach, where the navel is centered. Relax. Repeat your mantra from the navel. When you inhale, tell God whatever negative pain, disease, anything. When I move the navel, expanding with that, may all diseases be relieved. Each and every movement of the navel, we pray up. My Ātmā, my Paramātmā, my Gurudev, and my Mother will begin from the stomach. Please keep me healthy. Repeat your mantra. Peace, peace, and bliss. The result of the satsaṅg is in this meditation. Yogīs and ṛṣis, from childhood, they go to the forest, and that is their world. Their world, the whole earth, the whole forest, all is our father and mother, brother and sisters, friends and master. Peace, my mantra, my mantra, only my mantra is guiding me. That is when one becomes that kind of very divine spiritual being, who has the prāṇa for all; all are equal. You know, when there is a nest, there are a few baby birds, and one mother comes to feed the babies. And everyone is opening their pig, and mother is giving to every baby. She knows, she doesn’t forget. She’s feeding all, and no one will take it out from the mouth of the other. See the birds? If you don’t know, then meditate under a beautiful tree or in a beautiful house. How the mother is feeding, and so is Gurudev feeding all equally. If you will all take away, neither mother will be angry and pull you out, nor will others die. That’s why you are always guilty. Feel the movements of your navel, your mantra, and peace. I am human. I am spiritual. I am humble. I am working for all, I am working for God, and I go hand to hand. Some have one hand, some have two, three, and some have thousands flowing to some masters. Sometimes very big birds, hundreds, thousands, but they are flying like one beautiful alphabet. It’s called the V, not W. Purījī, Purījī... Vibros Ājñā Chakra, which brings joy in the whole brain, and with this, you will all sing beautifully. How we go together. Feel in your meditation the whole of your being, physical, mental, spiritual, everything, this meditation with those bhajans. So there are different kinds of meditation, which are both inner and outer, and that is how to coordinate them together, in and out, which touches our heart and touches our whole being, inside and at the same time outside. I am one in all, and all in all, out within thyself. And therefore, Gurujī said, peace and bliss result from Satsaṅg. Śat Saṅg Satguru Kain Vichārī Asā Mahām Anśar Jāvī Kain Vichārī Asā. And so, all this bhajan remains within thyself. Be thyself. You are yourself. You are ātmā. You are peace. You are knowledge. You are the receiver. You are everything. Just know thyself. Know thyself. Know thyself. Go ahead. And so, we’ll come again to the next bhajan from what she has prepared, our dear Pushpa. Be thyself, within thyself, in your heart, in your navel, and in your Ājñā Cakra, and of course, through the whole brain. Go ahead. From the Nābhi, Anāhat, Viśuddhi, Ājñā, Bindu, and Sahasrāra, that Oṁ chanting is complete. Oṁ chanting is complete. Nābhi, Anāhata, Viśuddhi, Ājñā, Bindu, and Sahasrāra. Śānti, śānti... the prāṇa, the energy, the spirituality, everything is in your palms. So bring your palms together, and bring the energy from your palms, and place your hands on your face. That you give all prāṇas, energy in the whole body, and bring your hands down. So the question which was about Kākabhaṭīśī, what Gurudevs you have, Bhagavān, our Satguru Swāmī Mādhavānandajī Bhagavān, gave us so much knowledge, you cannot imagine. I think how many lives we will again be born, there is no end of the knowledge. It is endless. But only in his heart, it is really that in the heart, then such bhajans come. Otherwise, make jokes and surface something. Is it good making jokes? Yes, yes. But that which is going to the soul, the seed of our self from the heart, and coming from the navel to further, so the Nābhi, the Anāhata, the Viśuddhi, the Ājñā, Bindu, and Sahasrāra. These are very powerful centers, and that completes the Aum. Let’s go further. Gurujī was giving, and you have to ask the questions. I am getting many, many questions every day from many of my very loving, respected devotees, bhaktas. They expect Gurudev will give us something, and from many, many countries—from Australia, from New Zealand, from many others, America—they are coming again and again. Also Brazilian, also China, from Canada to China, and of course, many from Europe, my dear. In this Kali Yuga, we have lost ourselves. We know that we want to take more and more and more, but we don’t know what we are taking inside. We should purify ourselves according to that climate. When I came to Europe in 1970, at that time I did not know so much about here. Something was, soya milk, yes, that was some in India also they made, but more was in Europe. And there was soya milk everywhere, and there were many different kinds, all very good. Nutrition, very, very good. And that was mostly from the soya. And unfortunately, very soon it came that what we call this chemical. And that chemical is good because it can kill us quickly. So, medicine is good and also not good. So, it is said, the body said, "I cannot accept the chemical." It is also from the earth, but now it is turned into other things. But Ayurveda said that body, Ayurveda, yes, that we will accept it. Why? Because it is from nature. Even if you take poison, it will take you. It is a different kind. So, when I came to Europe, there was a kind of food, and they were calling it—what were they calling it? Macrobiotic food is so nice and so good, and many, many people enjoy it. I had my Bhakta, and he is from Vienna. He is now there, and he was, how to say, he was the fan of the macro-pathic. And when he was coming to India many times, he started to make a shop because he said, "Swāmījī, how long will I run with you? There is no money at all." So he married a very nice woman, a very humble wife, and she was also into natural food. They had my two children, and he was working very hard, very hard in Vienna. For about 25 or 30 years, we did not see each other again. I had no time, he had no time, this, that, and he became a very rich man, and everybody said, "He is such a man, Swāmījī." I said, "Of course, he was working very hard, and he was giving people health, healthy," and this last year, in the month of November, I think it was. Something November or beginning of December or something. One of my disciples has a shop, an Indian shop; he is from Punjab, and he also began by making bread and working there. Big, big company where they are making bread, and they were bringing this and that. Then they begin with bringing some nice things from India, the soap and many things, what we call the many, many things, blim-blums, no? But very nice. And then they began to bring it from Nepal. And he made such a big soap. You have to work, go through this and that, both brothers. And so it is said that also good work. Not like this. So, one has to work, but one should have good things. Well, about one o’clock, or twelve o’clock—no, one o’clock midday—I went to some doctor for my eyes, and it was near. Part 2: A Visit, Food, and the Roots of Health We went to see a boy named Otmar. Umapuri, Mansa Devi, myself, and Dr. Shanti went. There was a beautiful animal there, laughing. It went by quickly. Look, for a little animal, everyone's concentration goes to it and not to me. That is something. Anyway, I came through the windows, then to the key, one door, and he was jumping. He was there with a few friends, and they were eating. He came over, and his devotion was unimaginable—"Swāmījī, Swāmījī!" That is the bhakti, the love. We sat there, and he asked if we wanted to eat. He said he eats what we call vegan. He is a vegan, and the other is... macrophagic, not acrophagic; macrophagy. At midday, when he finished, he would do more that evening. There were so many people, and he didn't care. He said, "Please take food and eat." There were five, six, seven workers there too, and he told them, "Don't tell my client how much or what; just say 'take it, take more.' Don't speak about money." If someone eats and leaves, let them go. If one out of a hundred goes, it doesn't matter. He is very good. That food... it was a long time ago when I came from India. The Japanese brought the soybean to America. He told us everything about it. He said, "You should eat food from within 40 kilometers of where you are living now." Then language changes, behaviors change, and so on. That is for health. That is why they said when you are born, you can go 70 kilometers. Then your parents will always be happy with you, and others will be happy. Many people were there taking care of cancer patients, and many were happy. Of course, cancer cannot be killed completely. Cancer is in our whole body, in everybody. There are some tissues inside, that's all. But those tissues and things stick from negativity, from not eating well, and from not cleaning the body properly. They slowly, slowly gather somewhere and then go to that point. For women, there are particular centers. There is also where you have, for the woman, the intensive feelings. That feeling also means anger. Your husband is angry, and you don't want to attack him back, but she is swallowing it inside. Men also have certain organs in the body where cancer can occur. For women, it is often on the breast, what we call here the thoracic gland. Mostly women have the thoracic gland. Why? Men do not have so much. I am not a doctor, please. I am not that. I do not want to heal you, but I know how we can act so that it will not occur. I am a yogī. I am a swāmī. I am a spiritual person. That's why people come sometimes, and so I... next time I will tell you about that. So when a man is angry, and she is swallowing... when she swallows this anger and hate from your husband, or from others—your boss, your neighbors, other family members—that girl or woman is attacking here in this thoracic gland, on the left side. So many people you can... if your husband or your friends... and again, charity and help and good deeds can heal. Also, they have emotional problems with the husband or the wife, and so they have many problems. It's all in their body for the women, and men also have many problems like this. These are because of our eating; we have some kind of fear, and that fear is coming. Or you are so angry, and when you are very angry, then even men are attacked in the liver, in the kidneys, in the prostate, etc., just like this. And so, the yogic prāṇāyāmas, āsanas, and mantra, guru mantra, meditation within thyself. But everybody is talking about meditation by the ocean of Śṛṅga. Yes, it is good, but that is not that way. When Gurujī was meditating, you know how Gurujī was completely one with the Guru, completely, very nice. That food which we are eating... Let's say Rajasthan. Rajasthan has four different seasons. Each season has fruits or vegetables, what they should eat and what not to eat. Then they are healthy, very strong, and have a long life. But now what? All four seasons, the vegetables are green, with a lot of medicine inside, and what we call the urias and turias and purias and kurias. Then there is a crown there, crown, no? The crown. That's it. So now I have brought... I want to tell you, it's very good that I'm here for one month and a second month. I will write, make a book, and we will only eat this kind of food here. Indian or anybody who will be here, when a guest comes, they will have to eat this. If they don't want to eat, then we say you can eat only chapātī with a little gud, Hari Om. Ghee, or a little ghee. But our vegetable will be so tasteful. Any Indian guest will come and say, "Ah, really, that's very nice food." Oh, nice kāḍhī, nice gāthā, oh, kyā kahā, very, very things. So we have three pachkutā and one for... and that all is, which is for every season you can eat. But when the cold and heat come, you should know a little bit. We are doing this, and I am sure that all our people will be healthy. So, my dear, we have to accept that whatever happened has happened. What happened has happened. Now, can we hide or not? We only go to the doctor, and the doctor will also give many, many diseases: this and that and that. But they have to do; they will cut out some things. They are taking out, of course, but there is one seed like this, Koran. Koran, yeah, this disease, Koran. Only one look to you, and hand set hand, already you are ill. Similarly, something remains in the body. But there is Āyurveda, which is a very good... what means Āyurveda? Āyurveda is only nourishment, that's all. Good food, good milk, no milk, yogurt, no yogurt, lassi, no lassi, that is the Veda. But now the Vaidya is also giving chemical medicine, that's not good, I don't like it. But we have many, and many in India. One thing I can tell you, our Rāmdevjī. Ramdevjī really, he will give you all healthy, all natural, all natural. No chemicals. But sometimes now he's making so quickly, so he will make something also different. Maybe, but it's not like this. Of course, he said, "I am in business. I want to earn as much money as I can, but I give so much tax to my country, and I work to make it so that everybody gets healthy food." Not hundreds, but thousands and thousands of people are working and getting money, the job. Why not? So, you are a sanyāsī and you are a yogī, and money, why? Good things are always good and therefore do good. Others also, they are going in the Himalayas, they are doing sādhanā, and with the sādhanā they are making healing, healing the people, animals, and it is still those ṛṣis in the Himalayas and other different parts; they are keeping there still that. We are surviving, the Guru says. That's it. So, I know many are bringing, please eat organic, more green rice and grains also, but don't take milk and don't take the cheese. This kind of milk, which is from the big dairy. But if you have your own cow, your own goat, or your own sheep, you can have milk and everything. But you should not give your cow so many chemicals. You should go to the villages to see how the farmers are still living. But now, the governments are doing more and more. They said milk should be like this, cows should be like that, milk and time should be like that, and this and that. I can tell you, we are still very, very, very happy that our cows get to go into the forest. They should eat, because how much they are eating, this all is the herbs. Dry, even. How many different kinds of grass and this and that? We hope that in our ashram, which is a big ashram, our cows, if there is nowhere else for them, will have a place. Our cows will graze here. We will make the grass grow more and more. So today, for two or three days, we have had very nice vegetables. It will be very good. So, all my dear, first of all, it is a prayer. Prayer every day and mantra, our guru mantra. Even if your father and mother have cancer, and they never come to the ashram, and they didn't practice, but now they tell them, "Please tell your Gurudev, please can you tell, yes." And our Gurudev is ready to give you that mantra, that peace, blessings, and to become vegetarian. All cancers originate from which kinds of animals, how they entered, and how they are going into the bodies. You will see many people eating eggs. The egg is one of the most terrible things. It is not good because you are taking the eggs and breaking the eggs. They are giving chemicals to the chicken, and there is no baby inside. The baby is not inside, but there is nothing. Purījī, Purījī... Their brain will be gone like this one day, so we should be healthy. Those doctors are telling them they should come to me. There are many doctors. They will tell us, many, many doctors, the best doctors in India. They will tell us, no, no... no eggs. So, all of you, those who have problems or illness, I pray to Mahāprabhujī, Holy Gurujī, and Devpurījī, and please tell them to give up all kinds of meat, eggs, and the milk, cheese, all of this; throw it away. Only if that is done—your cow, only your goat, is grazing in the field. Your goat is also going to different farms, and then they are good. Practice, practice, practice prāṇāyāma. More practice of prāṇāyāma. The truth is the truth. That again I am telling, Rāmdev. He really said, "Swāmījī, one hour I am taking prāṇāyāma. Two kinds of prāṇāyāma." Every day, and many, many things. How many of you are doing prāṇāyāma? Okay. Do you have three minutes? Five minutes? I have them all. Also, the Nauli Kriyā, all many, many. So yoga is only now, and sāttvic food is only the hope for humans to live. That's all. So thank you very much, everybody. Gurujī has written this book, Kākā Bhaṭṭīsī. So where we were here: "Sadā Dījo Caraṇoṁ Kī Sevā, Terā Nāma Sukhaṁ, Kākā Bhaṭṭīsī Kā Pāṭha Jo Kare, So Bhavasāgara SahaJa Tare." So those who will read this Kākāvatī Sī, this part—part means this you will read or chant—it will bring you to cross over the ocean. What is the ocean? The ocean is this life, and we are in the life of the ocean, and where we are happy, unhappy, in dire straits, this, that. This is the ocean for us. And so, Gurudev, it is a kakka, kakka bhattisi kā pāṭ jo kare, so bhavsāgar sahaj tare, so you will, comfortably you will cross the ocean. Kakka karo kabhī khācī, cācī. Please do the pure, what you call your job. Earn your money, earn your prosperity with hard work and not by cheating. That's it. Kākhā karo kamāye sācī, man mein mat rakho re kacī. And O my one, in your mind, you should not keep in your mind something like a very kacī. Kacī means something that can be broken very easily. That's it. Tomorrow again, let's come on. Om Namah Śrī Prabhudīp Nārāyaṇ. Om Namah Śrī Prabhudīp Nārāyaṇ.
