This disease affected only humans. Birds, flies, tiny creatures like ants, animals, and water creatures like fish—none were affected. Why only humans? In recent times, we have pondered deeply: Why are humans torturing animals so much? How much forest are we destroying? How much are we polluting the ponds and rivers? How many pesticides are in the fields? Who is responsible? Humans. Humans come very close, slaughtering animals—chickens, cows, and many others. And they do not merely slaughter them once; they burn one half-leg of a rabbit while the rest remains alive, eating in that state. In my opinion, this was a lesson for humanity, but they are not learning it. I inquired across the world, from our yoga centers, yogīs, and many other yoga centers globally. There are more yoga centers in the world now than in India, and more good yoga teachers and practitioners. Recently, Modi brought attention to a specific day, the day the sun turns back—a very important, beautiful, and good thing. According to our Jyotiṣa, this event occurs every two thousand years. The Jyotiṣ knew when and what would happen—what we call Mahāpralaya. In the Mahāpralaya, it is mostly humans and other animals, but the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—remain. What resides within those elements? The jīva, the living being. I asked my bhaktas, my Yoga in Daily Life practitioners, to ask other yoga teachers as well. It appears many people were affected by this illness. Yet, those who are pure vegetarian—no eggs, no meat, no fish, no alcohol—were not. Drugs are also not good, but that is a separate matter. This is not a joke. How many yoga people in the world, whom we can call sāttvic or vegan today, were affected? I asked everywhere: Were any of our yoga brothers and sisters affected by this disease? The answer was very telling. Good, but of course, nobody wants to listen. That does not matter. We should give more to people in life. Many were suffering, while our people lived very simply in their homes. The whole family was together in the house, and after a long, long time, we were all united as one family. When couples or children were angry, they calmed down and understood each other. That was a very great lesson for all of us. Many countries were affected. I do not know if it happened in Europe or elsewhere, but in India, which is Sanātana Dharma—other dharmas emerged from Kalyuga, but before that, there was only Sanātana Dharma. Sanātana Dharma is not only for humans but for nature, trees, water, mountains, earth—everything. That is Sanātana. In every religion, we respect, but how they practice is their own path. In Sanātana Dharma, there is discipline and a way of living within the family—husband and wife, children, mother, father, neighbors. We lived very nicely together, whether in Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, or Austria. We had no problems. This is what we learned in India. Our Prime Minister Modiji spoke about the Mahārāmāyaṇa—God Rāma, Sītā, and Lakṣmaṇa, the four brothers, their lives, and what happened. Rāma said, "It does not matter whatever is happening; I am happy. Everywhere are my brothers, my sisters, my Sītā, and my Lakṣmaṇa." They faced many difficulties. People today may not know, as this Rāmāyaṇa was produced about 42 years ago. It was very beautiful, sometimes played in the streets, and people understood—children and parents—the hardships Rāma and Sītā endured. People learned so much. After that came the Mahābhārata and Kṛṣṇa’s time, including the Bhagavad Gītā. That was also not easy, but it was good that people were learning. It was not like Hollywood or Bollywood—I have seen only two or three films, one about Gandhijī. There were many spiritual and divine elements, awakening many young people. They asked: Is this our tradition? Is this Sanātana Dharma? Is this our Bhārata? It gave them great knowledge. There is always one side that is hard and another that is pleasant, and both were present. Ultimately, darśana or dharma does not matter—which religion one follows—but not killing creatures is essential. Things will come and go. Our yoga people made me so happy and proud—my disciples, brothers, sisters, bhaktas. I always speak on Mahāprabhujī, Devapurījī, Alagapurījī, Siddhapurījī, etc. It is great. I always chant mantras for all, as many people call me with problems—young, old, diseased, with painful issues not related to money or family but with the physical body. They call often. In the evening, before and after prayers, we had Swāmījī television. We first chanted mantras for everyone—not only our yoga people but for all people, humans and animals—simple mantras everyone can understand. That was Mahāprabhujī’s mantra: "Oṁ Namaḥ Śrī Prabhu Dīpa Nirañjana Haṁ Śabdhas Prabhu Śaraṇa Parāyaṇa..." Oṁ Namaḥ Śrī Prabhu Deva. We will not chant it here today as it is not allowed. We must be mindful, as they are counting how many people are here. We said there are many, and others are helping—someone cleaning, etc. So be silent; otherwise, they may lock us in for days without chapatis or bread. In the very beginning, there was a big problem with our Niranjan Purī from Hungary. He was in such a state that he would not have lived; he would have died. I said, "No, I will not let you die." I told everyone to chant: "Oṁ Prabhudeep Niranjan, Sabaduka Banjan, Oṁ Prabhudeep Niranjan." I said it for Niranjan Purī but also for all our bhaktas with problems. Many people later said, "Swāmījī, after your mantra chanting and speaking with you, I am happy and healthy." I do not know; it is not my power. I am like you, but it is our Gurudev. Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalam—it is the power of the Guru, which comes only from Paramparā. If you go to one Guru here, another there, and a third there, it means splitting. Splitting is like putting lemon in warm milk—it curdles. Similarly, we must have that paramparā, that Guru. Therefore, you see so many yoga... What happened in this time? They always bring people to embassies, and only a few are told what to do, while others are not, which was not good. In our Europe, there are many great yogīs and masters. There was one yogī from Hungary who went to the second world, then to Switzerland. There is a good book by him. Swami Yogananda brought many yogīs and bhaktas, giving many blessings and techniques. Swami Śivānanda and many other yogīs—one of them is us. I am already about 97, 51, coming to 52—Yoga in Daily Life. Yoga is yoga, but we must know who we are. Yoga in Daily Life has its path; others have theirs. If something seems good, why not? That is called color. Everyone acts according to their master, their Guru. We can see them, say hello, fraternize, learn from them in satsaṅg—why not? But even in satsaṅg, your concentration should be on your Guru. Others who come have concentration on their own master, their own Guru. Like parents—one father and one mother, not two fathers and two mothers. We can go to everyone, but father and mother are the ones. We have attention and attachment. Even if a child is not good, parents still take the child to their chest. Similarly, if you have a one-to-one Guru, you should not split. Then it is gone. I was searching and asked Dr. Shanti. She went to the Himalayas and elsewhere. Why not? But then I told her to concentrate on Alagpurījī. She found a path, and we discovered Alagpurījī’s cave, Devapurījī’s cave, and many things. Alagpurījī is connected to Alakhapurī glaciers, about 20 kilometers away. It is not with me; it needs to be śānti. In stories, letters, and books, it is called Alakhpurī. The capital of Alakhapurījī is where we are. Now we know from Satyuga till here, and we have the thread. Our thread—you know what it is? I am not a scientist or a doctor; I eat and sleep, that is all. But I have had angiographies six times. The doctor said, "Let’s go in." First, it was near the thigh for 24 hours, the whole night. I was straight asleep, sending the body... Then Dr. Radha came and placed something under my back. Now, technology allows it from the wrist. They go in, and then I get up and walk. That technique is like roots searching for water in dry ground—they go exactly where there is a little water. Similarly, this goes directly to the heart, and you see everything. I learned from such things. We need to get our point. If you do not, you may disturb something in the heart, causing problems. We go with our target to our Gurudev from a far distance. Now I have some very old scriptures—Grahācārya, Maharishi Grahācārya, and the seven Sapta Ṛṣis connected to Grahācārya. Grahācārya is from that time, and the temple is from Grahācārya. We come from Grahācārya—those Brahmins. Who performed the marriage for Śiva and Pārvatī, and for Kṛṣṇa? Now, because I was searching for where I am, I found it. There is a nice book, and someone may make videos. Grahācāryas come till now, and Jyotiṣ is from Grahācārya. There are many things I will talk about sometime. How to come like this? We have to go there. Many people in Austria asked about our origin, our bloodline. Others said different things, and now it is all disturbed. Therefore, we ourselves, who respect and understand, will go on this path. Others splitting are like milk and lemon—good for some, but we do not want that. We want to be exact. Therefore, Guru kṛpā hi kevalam, śiṣya ke ānanda maṅgalam. Holy Gurujī said that Gurudev is the Gurudev. Gurudev’s thoughts are everything. If you think your master died, you did not understand that you had a master. Our master never died, as you can see from Ālag Purījī. They are all living. The Alag Nanda River still flows constantly from that time till now. There is life in that river, still going. Similarly, many great saints—we do not know how many. But we have something inside, in the soul. We should go and come to where we are. Long, long ago, there were only glaciers here. Where we are now, many things happened, and we lived. In Austria, they lived in the Neandertal. If you tell German Austrians about Neanderthals, they say, "Nah." That is okay; no problem. They were also very good. In Germany, there is a city with buses and a large museum showing how they were and how they are now. They were nicely dressed, and this is ongoing. We are developing. But Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalam, Śiṣye Ke Ānanda Maṅgalam, Gurudev, Gurujī Mahābal say: Gurudev Ke Ānanda Maṅgalam, Śiṣye Ke Ānanda Maṅgalam, Gurudev Ke Kṛpāsi. That is all. We will see again. I hope we will have a satsaṅg. Now, one thing I want to tell you: we have many people who had cancer or other illnesses, and many said, "Somehow, I am very good again." So I want to ask everyone to pray for one person—Mala, a Christian Hungarian with a disease. Within half of four days, 20 days, or one month, he lost four kilos, and we do not know why. Please pray for him—Kṛṣṇānanda. He is in the hospital undergoing tests. We will see how it is. Thank you, and I am so happy you are here today. I see you; I feel like I have been here all the time. We were here. Distance is nothing because when we come close, there is no distance. We do not know why you talk like this. Distance is nothing. When you have distance, we are there, but though there is distance, we are one. Feel the oneness. Do not think, "I am far, and I will not be." This is very important. Now, though it is sun signing and Indra—Indra is doing something very good. After half an hour, another group will come. Is there tea for everyone? For children? Good. We will remain sitting here and give you a cup of chai. Okay? Nāmu Śivāyoḥ. Lolā, slowly, slowly. Namo Śiva, Oṁ Nama, Oṁ Har Har Bho, Nama Śiva, Bhai Indra. What is that? You see, it is something. Who are we to stop or call? No, that is it. It is His. He knows when, where, and how. Now, I tell you many things from India, but there is something I want to say. There are two beautiful horse babies. Once, before sunrise, one was mourning a little, and she was trying to see her baby for the first time. She was sitting, getting up, and settling. We called our driver, and he went there, holding the babies. The other way, the mother and sister stood looking at the baby horse. Horses are so beautiful. Her eyes are—I do not know what kind of eyes—they call them blue, but not exactly blue, like a crystal’s beauty. There are rare girls here in our group, and she is so nice, always coming and being nice. She was licking fingers, and now she is one month, two or three days old. Another should have had babies, but they said, "Oh, she is empty, and she will not." Exactly after two or three weeks, she had one—his daughter got a new baby. Okay, very good. All right, done is done; no more talking.
