Bhajans are Divine

The dark moon marks the final milestone for humanity's spiritual journey.

Tomorrow is amavasya, the dark moon night, followed by the new moon. The moon is nearest to Earth and exerts effects. Some see the moon as a stone, others as divine. Yet its influence now touches only humans, not vegetation, animals, or the ocean. Humans consider themselves intelligent, free from death and rebirth. But this moment is the last milestone leading to the supreme cosmic state, Brahman. Without focus and interest, that milestone becomes the first of a long fall backward. The fall means regressing through countless lives. Thus, this last stone mile is crucial. One must hold on and step forward. A story tells of a thick man denying God who crossed against the red light. His thin friend hurried across, but the truck struck the thick one. The friend called “catch up” like ketchup, mocking the fate. Those who reduce the moon to mere stone and trust intellect alone will slide back. Others will reach the final milestone. Diseases arise from human creation; simplicity and love for all creatures are needed. Bhajans and satsangs help maintain that simplicity.

“The moon’s effect is on humans, but not on vegetation, animals, or the ocean. Why is it on the human? This is a very interesting thing.”

“This last stone mile is very, very important and the very best for us. But we have to hold on and come and step into that.”

Om Bale Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jaya, Hindu Dharma Samrāṭ, Satguru Svāmī Madhavān Jī Bhagavān Kī Jaya, Viśvaguru, Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara, Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī, Yogī Rāj Kī Jaya. This is a spiritual lecture about Yoga in the Indian tradition. Very nice. Which bhajan do you like to have? Bhajan or bhajan? Bhajan. Okay. Devādideva, Deveśvara, Mahādeva, Kī Jai. Very good. One more. Boleśa, Dīpna, Bhagavān, Kī Jai, Jai Pṛṣam, Mahādeva, Kī Jai, Hindu Dharma Samrāṭ Satguru Śrī Mādhav Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān, Kī Jai, Viśvaguru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvarānanda Śrī Maheśvarānanda Satguru Dev Bhagavān, Kī Jai. Haripurījī, singing bhajan. Come. With harmonium, without harmonium. Okay? Today is the practice for the resonance. And this resonance means throughout the whole body. When we all sing the bhajan and listen to the bhajans, it doesn’t matter how many we are. We all become one, and the vibration goes through all the nerve systems, through the whole body, and that is very, very good. So, now coming very nice bhajan. Om śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ. Tomorrow is the amāvasyā. And amāvāsyā means, many of you know, it is a dark moon night. It is the opposite. One fortnight is the full moon, and the next fortnight is called the amāvasyā, the dark moon. And then, after that, the day after tomorrow, is the beginning of the new moon. Sometimes, if it is a very nice, clean sky, then we can have the darśan of the new moon. Otherwise, on the second day, it means tomorrow is only dark night, and the day after tomorrow, may we see, otherwise the day after tomorrow is the moon. And this moon is very important for all. And it is so that after this day, the moon day, another dark moon day, and it will come to new. That time, the sun is again turning back towards, and it will be day by day the sun will be less and less. And in Australia, on that side, again it will be more warm; it will come because now they have a very cold time. There are many constellations, many people are speaking about this. In the last few days, some very good astrologists were asking, and they saw the constellation, something, and they said it will be good. But they did not want to tell completely, but they were talking for nearly one month, every day a little, they were talking about that. It means that because the moon is the nearest to the earth, we have the effect of the moon on the earth. Well, some are thinking that spirituality is okay. Some are thinking the effect of this light and day is okay. And some are taking it very spiritually, like a god, and this moon, and all these nine days, many said it is only a stone. The moon is a stone. So he is not coming to us, but if the moon’s effect is on this earth, then they think only of the human. But animals, they are not affected by this, like now. In these two months, what’s happening with this, this corona? Yeah, corona. So, it is like that effect on humans. And that was very interesting, that kind of effect on the human, but not on the vegetation, not on any animals, and not on the ocean. Then why is it on the human? This is a very interesting thing. So, because we humans are very intelligent, and we know we are good, many said, “I am a human, and now I will not die anymore; after that, I will not be born. I can do all that I want. I am a human; I am free,” etc. But there are some others they should know. It is the point where we are on the last stone, the milestone. This is the milestone, the last for humans to come to the supreme cosmic state. But if we do not concentrate and we do not take an interest towards this, then this milestone will be, you know what? It begins the milestone. Where? Backside again. So, for one, it is the last milestone to come to Brahman, or whatever you call it. Or this is for, if we don’t understand and we don’t take care of this. Then we have the first stone line. Where? To go back again. Fall down, fall down, fall down. So, this last stone mile is very, very important and the very best for us. But we have to hold on and come and step into that. Therefore, it’s not only the moon. So many say it is a dark stone, that’s all. And this stone will fall on it. And if it falls, the moon is not good with us. It will make a chutney, or what we call the tomatoes, like ketchup. There was a person who was very, “I know everything, and I don’t need a god,” and this and that. And he was eating, and he was like this, walking like that. And one was very thin and like this. So, they were both friends, they were crossing the road and there was a light, a red light for the, what we call the, pedestrians. So, they were not there, and they both were about five meters before that, and this very thick person said, “Oh, we will cross it.” Others said, “Please, no.” He said, “No, no.” Then, “Okay.” So, a very thin person. He was just crossing quickly, but another one who was eating and drinking too much, and this and that, was also walking. So he was crossing the road, and a very big truck came, and the thick one fell down. And the wheels were on it, and the truck went away. Other, his friend, he said, “Oh, I die.” The other one said, “Hey, catch up, come on quickly.” Not the friend, but the catch-up. Hey, catch up, come on. So, like these people who are thinking like that, they will go back again. Others will achieve that one, the last milestone. So for us, human life is a milestone, and this is the last or the first. The last means we cross it now. And first is that again we fall down, and again we have a long, long way to come back here. Long, long way. Yes, long, long way. So, therefore, these many diseases and these things, we humans, we are creating ourselves. And some are very simple, good, and like that, but the others affect us also. So, bhajans, satsaṅgs, this all is for humans, and we should be simple, sambal, and love all creatures. So, tomorrow we will see how it is.
