Om namo śrī prabhu dīpa nārāyaṇam. A śloka, a bhajan, a mantra—whatever we take into our heart—carries immense peace and harmony. That is why we always begin by chanting a mantra. The language does not matter. It can be Sanskrit, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, German, or any language. It is the language that emerges from the human vocal cords, from the mind, and according to one's mother tongue. The difference is that one says "Om" and another says "Arihom," but it is all the same. One says father, another says pitā, another says uncle. Language is there. Therefore, it is said by nearly every religion. Everyone can talk about every religion, though some people do not wish to speak of other religions, only their own. Mahātma Gandhījī used to sing one song, one bhajan. Of course, Gandhiji was different. He was not in a temple; he was in his ashram. In his ashram, he was very free because he understood everyone. There is an ashram in Gujarat, in Sabarmati, Ahmedabad. Sabarmati is a river, a beautiful river flowing in the monsoon time. But now, our Prime Minister Modijī, about twenty years ago, brought water from a river—which river is that? Not Gaṅgotrī, no. Narabdha. There are so many rivers, and so many rivers are all female: Gaṅgā, Yamunā, Sarasvatī, and others. They are all for purification. They are soft and flowing. The Gaṅgā comes from the Brahma lokas, from the Brahmaputra. All these holy rivers are on the earth of what we call Bhārat Mātā. Bharat is the name of a great king, and 'Mata' is mother—the mother earth. So again, the mother is flowing on this earth, within the earth, above the earth. These rivers are there, and they give purification from their source all the way to the ocean. First, they bring water for everyone so that no one is thirsty—humans, animals, birds, fish, and also the vegetation, the trees, and Mother Earth herself. Mother Earth also needs water. The surface may be dry, but we can see that within the whole earth there is water. This earth is very big, but the ocean is four times bigger. We say this is like one kind of pot, and on the pot is just a little lid. This lid is only very little, like for our dal. But the ocean is more than this; it is many, many oceans. What we call "mahā" means high, very big. And so this Bharat has a big, big ocean: Mahā Bharat, Mahā Sāgara. 'Mahā' means wide, great, big, and as a mother, giving everything. This water is flowing there; this is a big, big river, a big, big Mahā Hind Sāgara. This is the ocean of the Hindus, all Hindus. And that earth extends until Australia. When I am flying from Delhi or Mumbai, I take off and go through Singapore. All this is Rāma’s kingdom. There are many, many temples of God Rāma, many festivals about God Rāma. Further, we come to the edge, touching Australia. I always land at Perth. When I see Perth landing there, I see how wide the ocean and the sand is—so white, beautiful, very clean. The beach is so far, hundreds of kilometers. It is very nice. And of course, there is everything, but there are sharks welcoming you. The shark’s nose is long and its mouth is down, so it cannot bite you like this; it has to turn like that. They have many, many teeth, just like a ring. Anyhow, I go into that ocean sometimes, many times, but only up to my thighs. Yes, because of those sharks. They said, "Oh, my Indian Swami, you see." So I don't want—I said, "Yes, welcome you all." It is very deep with heavy waves. Many people who can surf are there, surfing. We have serpents too. So there are many things. Anyhow, so the mother earth and the ocean. The ocean is a father. The river is like a mother, but the ocean for us is a samudra, and the earth is the mother. We are between this. Then there are many, seven biggest oceans. Can we know how far that is? Our whole globe, when we fly, we are mostly flying over the ocean. They block the windows, make them dark; you sleep. We look sometimes, but there is nothing to see. At night, if there is a moon, then okay; stars are maybe okay. We open the window; we do not know if there is an ocean here or there. The flight speed is about ten thousand kilometers per hour. That is very big, but very soft. And sometimes, one must make jokes. If we do not make jokes, then anybody will talk about scientists like this and that. Then I have to make people laugh, smiling, and not only smiling—laughing until they are hurting their whole stomach. Yes, happiness, why not? Of course, in an aeroplane, there are 300 people, 400 people, sometimes 500. Everyone has a lot of food to eat and water, and then Coca-Cola, soda water, sparkling water, and also alcohol—many different kinds of alcohol. Whatever you ask, they will say yes. Here, my god, aeroplane. Is it some said vodka? People who have never tasted alcohol can take only one tablespoon of vodka and you will be like this aeroplane. So sometimes people are drinking different kinds of alcohol. Mostly, sometimes, most of the time, the Indian people are laughing because Indians are joyful, jolly. Yes, why should we sit there like this? They are getting up and doing this and that. Then the hostess says to the pilot, "That’s all," and he tells, "Please sit down." Yes, it is a long journey, twelve hours. Then they are coming, giving, and someone is standing like this. Somebody is standing there. And then the pilot makes the aeroplane—God, what is that? Turbulence. Everybody, the alcohol is gone from their consciousness. They come down, make our seatbelt, and hold on, but still there. So everybody is holding like this. And his wife said, "I tell you, she’s strong, powerful." Yes. And the pilot said, "Please, all be careful and be ready for the oxygen." And then, after again, until then, what they are making flights different. And this, whoever called, they said, then going further till the end of the flight. Okay, this is a joke and no joke. It is there and is not there. It has happened, and it has not happened, okay? That’s like this. But that time, myself too, because when it’s going like this, my permanent is driving my car, the Vedas, somewhere a white car, no? So he drives a very wild road like this. It’s okay, but my aeroplane is five times more. Oh God, what will we do now? Mahāprabhujī, please, Devpurījī, holy Gurujī, please let my Om Ashram be complete. Yes, that is height, nearly about 11,000, yes 12,000, and speed is nearly about 9 point something or 10,000. It’s chicken, yeah, yeah... Before we come down, we become like a popper, concaiga popper. Who will eat this popper shark? Namaḥ Śivāya, Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya, Oṁ Namaḥ... Śivāya. So, that is what this comes to, the sādhanā. But we are doing first: learn, understand our body. We should always, of course, we are human. Animals are also animals. Birds are also birds, and fish are also... they are happy and unhappy. Birds are unhappy, animals unhappy, all creatures unhappy and very happy, and... joy. And humans are also unhappy and unhappy. But it is said, one day, until you will not give up that you are afraid—you are afraid: fear, darkness, "How will it be? Where am I?"—or in the stomach, boiling happiness or joy, anger, days, hurt, this, that. Animals also, you see, have that kind of energy that no animals want to have—that human energy. No animal likes that. Animals to animals, they will respect. For example, a tiger is sitting, and a beautiful bird sits on his head. Or, you know, a snake. The lion doesn’t care. But the same bird, if you are sitting even peacefully in meditation, have you seen any bird sit on your head, or somewhere here on the earth? Maximum, the bird can sit on the tree and drop on the head, like here, that’s it. So, this is all; animals can go together. There are different ones, like the cats. All these cats, never animals are different. Snakes are others, but they have. And when they have eaten properly enough, then they will not kill anyone. But humans, they will eat, and they will take more with them, and that is everything. This is different. So humans, the animals will not take something at home for eating further, and then we’ll take something in the nest of the bird for their children. Because they have it, and they know they will get it once when I need it. So this is different for the human, but still we have the human. That we have, God gave us God. That human, I gave you everything. And you know everything. Now you can do it. Puṇya and pāpa. Pāpa is what we call sin, and puṇya is good. But animals do not. Dharma and adharma. Dharma is a religion. Adharma is not any kind of religion. But animals do not. Animals do not have this kind of thought, that I will be a puppy or follow dharma. Animals do not know that. But they have love. They have so much love, if we do, you can’t imagine. We have three beautiful dogs, and the puppies. Early morning, she wakes up because of the dogs, and she has to get up, wash herself, and so on. She comes to the dogs, and how they are, they are loving, they jump on her, this and that, you see. I always say, when you are at your house, one dog, and now your husband comes home and your wife comes home. So when the man comes home, then what will the dog do? He will not jump on his husband’s wife, but he will come. And then suddenly the woman comes. She gives the man away, and he jumps on her. They don’t want to make dirt. They don’t know what dirt is. Animals don’t know what dirt is. But they love more his wife, or he loves his husband. And of course they both love them. That’s it, the love of the animals. But of course, please don’t go near the tiger, okay? Even if he is full with food, better not. It’s good. It is not that we must sit with the animals and hug them. We see the difference, but we love the animals, and they like it also. So where is this feeling? Humans have it, but humans don’t know. Animals say, "I cannot trust the human." Yes? But that house pet, the house pet is not very good for the animal. We keep the house pet, and they also have the car pet. Why do you have a pet in your car? You have a pet at home, Yogījī. You have a pet at home, but why do you have the pet in the car? I can’t understand. You always have a pet in the car, yes, the car pet. And that’s it. Namah Śivāya, Om Namah Śivāya, Om Araḥ Araḥ Bho. Yes, animals can make us very happy too. And you can’t imagine how the humans are also happy. Some may not. In an aeroplane, something is a very good thing, and everyone is laughing. One, two, three, let me sleep. I can’t believe what happened to me this morning. I was laughing and running here and there in my room, and then the Agni Devī came to my flat. She said, "What? What?" I said, "Look, I’m so happy, because our horse mummy gave one little baby." Be now, she’s still giving, coming, and we are happy, and we are also afraid. I hope that everything is okay and this baby, a horse baby, and I said, "I pray that it will be a girl." Another man said, "No, it will be a good boy." But I said, "We need..." Then, the baby came out. My driver was going, we call him, "Please come quickly." Pushpa goes there and comes back, and she goes near the horse and then comes. She was completely out of it, yes, and she’s calling, "Yes." And then our pujari comes, and then he was... It is a strong body, man, and so he, the both legs were already out. The face is also, so he brought out, and other three, four, or three, or other horses. It is very interesting, and they are all over my ashram, you know, the horses and all. They are standing. There are all these three, and the fourth one was giving the baby, and they are all standing, and their great-grandmother elephant of the my horse, mommy, daddy, yeah, didi, daddy, daddy... But to take you, what you call that, a grandmother? No, no, no. Babushka. Babushki, babushka, babushki. Yeah, I have babushkas in Canada, in Vancouver. They are all these. When I go, I see the babushkis. There are many babushkis. They are like birds. Okay, anyhow. So, all there, and now Pocker is trying to bring the baby out, and the horse is coming near. He said, "Go away," and they again go away, and they come again, and he brought it, and other again they go away, but Grandmother, she came near. And he spells his grand, grand, other great daughter. See, it was so beautiful. Now he can’t get up. I was so sad because a horse wakes up quickly. He stands up, any animals except buffalo. The cow also stands up very quickly, and cow babies tell, like mother. And he said, "Ma, ma, yes." Anyhow, let’s go there further. So, our grandmother there, what is her name? Mahimā. She again smelled. Pocket takes away. Then she came slowly and smelled, and then she went. And standing, how happy she was also. All, my dear, you see, everyone is happy when you have a little mouse at home. How you are happy, so happy is like there everywhere, but this, but then I came to my room. Still, he was sleeping there, lying there. I was sad. I hope that his legs are in order, the back leg, but then he put and took. It is in his horse, on the horse table, and he, but his leg is so high, like this, exactly so high. So how will the legs be? Say here, he will be very high, beautiful. Now he sees a very good, so this is it. All people are happy with the animals, too, and which you don’t like, that they don’t like, too, yes. So that is a mostly, some, they are heaven like this. So then we don’t go there anyhow. So life to the animals, and that’s why we love the animals. It must not be that in our room, it must not be in our pocket, it must not be in a garden, but we should save the animals. You know that every Guru Pūrṇimā, I tried always to get one saṅkalpa: so the bees, the honey bees, protect the honey bees. Their bees are slowly, slowly dying. And one day you will see what we will end up with: two things. The first, you will not have any fruits, no fruits, no bees, no fruits, because bees come to the flowers and they take this pollen, and they, like this one, two, will you... Go, and everybody will go like this, and people like this everywhere. No, no, honey. When there is no honey, there is no funny. No honey, no fun. Therefore, sometimes on this screen, they will show us pictures of the bees like that. The people will see, ah, the bees are like this. And we will see in the pictures, now we have honey, but only in the photo. In the cinema, you will see the honey. The children said, "Oh, Mommy, I want more." Hey, mommy, there is no honey. She put so much poison, and hundreds and thousands of bees die in one day, two days. So, second, save the birds. And there are really very few birds left. Because there are all these poisons, pesticides, everything. So when we spray the animals, on vegetables or crops or something, all bees die, all different kinds of creatures die, under dies, vegetables die, and birds cannot, because birds eat and birds will die. So there will be no more. Three years ago, in our ashram, there were 36 or 32, 36 or 62, 76 birds we had in our Jadan ashram. And suddenly came the cats, and day by day, many, many died. The cats are beautiful, cats are good, but they go to the forest somewhere. Lucky this, or you should keep it in your pocket, in your room. Don’t let them out because they eat eggs. When the egg is gone, the birds are not. And they go in the night. And the birds are sleeping like this, but without that, it is also not. Birds or cats are good, very beautiful. Always they come, and they are touching your thighs and your knees, and the tongue goes like this, yes. They are so beautiful, you know? My father loved the cat, my mother also loved the cat. But my father loved the cat, and my mother is living with the cat because there are coming so many mice. And so she’s in the room; the little house is not so big, like Jordan’s. So, always, this book coming, we are feeding that, but mice don’t come, so... Nice, that cat was very nice. I said, "My father, you can put it on your lap. I will sit on my mother’s lap." And then the cat comes to my mother and to me. I said, "No, I go to my father." Anyhow, these are the children’s play. Namah Śivāya, Om Namah Śivāya, Om... Śivāya, Om Arahara Gaṅgā, Namaḥ Arahara Gaṅgā. So in our body, all the pets which we house, pets and we have a clean in the carpet, both are good. But our animals make us happy. Yes, many times the husband loves the pet more, or the wife loves the pet more. There are different things. Mostly they are sleeping with the pet, not with your husband or with your wife. Yes, that’s good. Why not? Yes, besides, the cats are so nice. They make like this. Yeah, they are very nice. Cats are very nice. Oh, but a cat is a cat. Some are suffering because of this cat. Why? It’s my cat, and why are you suffering? Because the neighbor is allergic to the cat. And the cat is always thinking. So there are things we have to understand, my dear. All is very, very good. So our sādhanā, how to make first happy, first happy, but you have to not only because that you are happy, the others should be also happy in that way. And therefore, we give them how everybody, then we have, otherwise, those who are having physical or psychic problems, then they are ill. And someone who has psychic problems, they take some animals, and those animals, they are very good, and really, they love them. And I had under my bed—in my bed means under my house—in Australia, in Dungong, and my house is about... 50 square meters, and because this is a wooden house, houses everywhere, so there were pillars on them, and underneath is so much space. And my very biggest snake, what he was under the bed, under the bed he was sleeping well, which I am fighting. Big bite, I went next time. I said when I... Coming, I love this pet, but not under my bed. So now we put it in the net. He was big, about so long, about two point something. And so we had one very nice woman, a girl, who was a teacher. And unfortunately, her husband died. So she was sad, her husband had died, and she was angry and alone. So she liked the snake, so she took a python and was petting it, and it was very nice. And she was giving it food, feeding it, and it was sleeping with her, meaning beside her, in Jaipur. The truth is not a joke. Now it happens that she was always sleeping like this, and now every day she’s sleeping with her body, and she gave up eating. After three days, he took this snake to the, what? Veterinarian, but they said to me something else. I’m saying veterinarian, they said. Okay. So the veterinarian there, she said this and this. He said, "Did he lie down beside me?" I said, "Yes." Give it to me, your snake, and he took it in somewhere. She said, "Why?" He said, "Tonight was your last night." "Why?" "Because the last two days, he’s been measuring you, and how he will make it like this and then swallow it." So love sometimes is also different, anyhow similar. We have also with us someone who is addicted to alcohol, and one day he will take one more, and beside him he will die. Or someone is alcoholic, or the cigarette, and he’s one after one, and he’s sleeping, and then, and then he goes alcohol, and he’s going out, and the cigarette is on the room on the bed, and the whole bed was... The house burned, and the building burned. The house is burned from... one of our disciples is about, let’s say, about... it is about eight months ago. So it is like this. Inside we also have a problem. And this inner problem can destroy us through what we are doing. So in this is the Kuṇḍalinī cakra, and what we are talking about are Kuṇḍalinīs. And in Kuṇḍalinī, there are how many Kuṇḍalinīs, how many chakras, how many petals inside that we shall see. And that’s why you said, "Please, can you show us each and every petal of the chakras, and there’s a one-to-one alphabet, tīrtha?" And that is that inside what Hari Gurujī was giving us, a very clear point, and that’s called Satguru Chalīsā. So, Satguru Chalisa, that is exactly what we are having here on all our chakras. And from these chakras—in these chakras means all different—we have with our body and our side, around our house, outside, etc. So we are practicing, and we have to be happy always, to be happy. Don’t say that is negative, that is this. When you are talking, that’s okay: "I don’t like you," or "I don’t like my snake." Well, he likes his snake. There is one man, the whole year he is living from this snake, and the snake is also happy. But if he wants to give me, Swamiji, can I give you your neck? I say, "No, please." And some like it all very much. But still, we should have it in our inner nervous system. So the nervous system should be very, very strong. And so, for the new that is in the kuṇḍalinī cakras, we will continue something perhaps in this day, and we will see the cakras. So let’s come to the cakras again, kuṇḍalinī cakras. And therefore, what we will do? Bolo bhajan, bhajan sun le re manā. Bhajan sun le. Let’s go. Dhaniya, dhaniya ki dhoni ki dharti, sab ki ichchha puri karti.
