Bring back happiness

An evening satsang addressing the global pandemic and the healing power of nature and joy.

"We know all that we have lost these last few months. The whole of humanity is facing a very difficult time."

"We should not become very sad, we should not withdraw ourselves... We are, and we will fight against these kinds of diseases. But in which way? We should protect ourselves."

Swami Ji leads a gathering from within a protective cabin, offering a prayer for the world suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic. He discusses the widespread impact on education, work, and health, emphasizing safety measures like masks and distance. The talk shifts to gratitude for the natural sanctuary of the ashram, encouraging disciples to connect with the trees and environment.

You know that I am here in Europe, but our message is throughout the whole world. Many of our dear disciples, bhaktas, and practitioners of yoga are with us now. We know all that we have lost these last few months. The whole of humanity is facing a very difficult time. This kind of disease, which is worldwide—we still do not know how it happened around the whole world within no time, in all big cities, little villages, near the ocean, on the tapas, everywhere. It is attacking humans. Many doctors and scientists still cannot understand why. Of course, we are very happy that many animals are not affected by this kind of disease. It has been very disturbing these five months. All our education centers—kindergarten, primary school, middle school, high school, college, universities—are affected. The teachers and professors are also very unhappy. There are two things. One is that all these teachers say they are very sad about their students because they cannot have time for studies in the education center. And of course, in many countries, all the teachers and professors are not getting money. In some countries, they are continuously paying them. V niektorých krajinách platia stále. Also, many shops and all these different kinds of people have their work blocked. A takisto v mnohých obchodoch, aj v iných zamestnaniach, sú práce, ktoré sú momentálne pozastavené. We know that all countries, all people, they are suffering. A my vieme, že úplně všetky krajiny trpia. Yes, we see that in Europe, Europeans worked very hard, and it is a little better. But they don't tell us, but you know that all people have masks on their faces. It is very good that we are all using this mask. I am sitting in the box, and it is completely blocked, so oxygen is coming from a different side. But many of you in our hall today, I see that all of you have this mask on you. There is one kind of this mask, shield, but that is not enough. It is from here, but we are inhaling from this side. This is good for the rain or mosquitoes; it is not very protective. But that is better. Anyhow, we know we are doing our best. We are praying, and we shall pray in our seminars where we are, for the whole world, that please, God, help us and clear us away, all this disease finished. Some people are using the mask, others don't do it. One is sitting with the mask, five are sitting there, then all are bringing this virus. Mostly, we don't know what happens if this disease comes to us. Then it is very horrible. It's going to the lungs, and it makes the lungs have many, many holes inside. Then, towards the heart and all the inner side of the body. Many people were suffering very much, dying with great suffering. In many, many countries, they don't even want to give the dead body to the parents because it will come to them, this viral. And so in some places, sometimes they don't know how to give the dead body in the very them. So it is very negative, very bad, very hard, or very painful. We are suffering, the whole of humanity. So we cannot tell anybody. We shall respect and give each other support. We know that it is a mistake of all humans, and we pray to God that what humans have done wrong, please, Lord, help us and also give them knowledge and respect, that they will not do the negative things. It is something like a gas, someone putting the gas in the speed. And it goes very quickly, very quickly, so it is still not cleared up. We think that we are okay in Europe, and we are okay now. But there are, it comes through the space, also, with the air. And in some kind of, there is in the air, which I cannot explain. And it is attacking humans. So we shall pray, we shall keep ourselves safe, and we should not come very close to each other. We all know this. I need not tell you all this, but I'm reminding you that we don't know when it can happen again. Some scientists or some doctors are saying that there will come another wave again. In this way, people are suffering, and also people have no money. It's very hard, so we pray to God. We pray to Mahāprabhujī, please forgive us and help us. Give ourselves. Don't come in your body. Don't put yourself in the bag. So don't think, "What will I do? What will I do to my children? What will I do to my neighbors?" So we should not put ourselves in the clothes. The couples are at home. They are not going to work, and they learn something, and they are learning. And they are fighting, and then again they come. And they are cleaning all the negative things, and the positive they are taking in them. And the families, children, the parents, they are giving them some kind of education, a family education. That's very important. So we should not become very sad, we should not withdraw ourselves, and we should not be very sad. We are, and we will fight against these kinds of diseases. But in which way? We should protect ourselves. And when nobody is there, then this virus will go away. So, that's why even here in the garden, in the street, in the shop, in the hall, we should be a little distant. And don't laugh in front of someone. That's also. And you know, our hall, and where is the hall? We have filled it, but we have a distance, one meter by more than one meter distance, for all our disciples. And in our thanks to Mahāprabhujī, this is Mahāprabhujī's satsaṅg ashram. We have a few big halls, so we can feel more and more people there. We are so happy that all our halls, our rooms, everything is very clean, very nice. And we have very big gardens, very, very big. Some trees are so big. When we want to see the top of the tree, we even lose this mask or our cap. We are holding like this to see. So, you know how long the height of the trees are there. We will see tomorrow, we will measure and see how many big trees there are and which is the highest tree. And how many trees? So tomorrow, make about half an hour, and all go in the hall, our ashram. And write how many trees we have, which kind of trees, little and height. Which kind of trees? How many of these trees? How little and how high? And different kinds of herbs. Everything is so. We will come to know that we know exactly that we are the Āyurveda. So this will be a very great thing. We will make a big chart, and we will say which kind of trees, and this and that, many things. And then we see how all this vegetation here is purifying all kinds of diseases. So whenever you go passing by our big, nice trees, just hold, touch the tree and go further. So when we touch the one trunk of the tree, it's like you touched your mother, yes. So there's very, very... or the father, of course. So that is, let's see this. How many hectares of land? It's a very big land. And see how many vegetations there are. This will make us happy. You know, we were doing now, we are touching the earth. We feel the earth, and so that we feel this good prāṇa in our body. It's very important, and lucky are we that we can be touching that cosmic light energy. Those buildings, high buildings, but there are no trees inside, and little, little. They have a house, or what we call a flat. Everything is closed. The toilet is closed. The kitchen is closed. Sleeping is closed. Everything little, little. And in many high buildings, you cannot open windows. Only the ventricles throughout the whole heart. What can we think? What is happening with our body? How are we going in our lungs? So we are repressing back all our air. And so we are so lucky, and we know this country is beautiful and how nice the vegetation is here. We are very lucky, and we give thanks to our sister who made and gave us this ashram, and we all are with them working there. So, you know, we are thinking, and thanks to that one seed who put the seed, and we got that big. So all day, when you can be outside and see the trees, different trees, etc., we shall get the prāṇas from outside. And divine things we give you also from our side. It was raining and like this, but otherwise you can also go walking. Nice hills here. But the hills and our ashram are the same. It's great things, very great. So this is what keeps us healthy. Our lungs get more fresh and good. So this is very important, how we are living and how we will live here in our ashrams. We should have negative thoughts, give them out, and positive thoughts we should keep. And virus, positive, leave it out, and negative, get it in. Negative within us and positive without. So this is a very nice compilation. So in this way, everything, every second, it is our sādhanā. And feel happiness. If you are a little bit withdrawing yourself back, then it means, like, dry fruits pulled in. But we should be like that flower, opened. The flower is smiling. The flower is spreading the light of peace. Energy. Each petal of the flower is smiling. So let's feel happy. Don't withdraw together. Then, you are here, and you didn't get any benefit here. So, that's why in the morning I was angry. You are also like dying. It should not be like this. I ask you a question, and there is no answer. Will you eat? Nobody asks. Will you not eat? Will you go? Nothing. Of course, I know that you had a mask, but you can say, "Yes." And when I tell you something, nobody is talking about anything. So you should say something. When you laugh, then my heart goes wide. And when I tell you something, you are looking. So that's why it has been done. When it's something, then we say, "Yes, say something now, hello." No, no,... no. It was only 56% that was doing. Yes, so what I do to you, you should do it again. Happiness back. I don't know who told you we should not do, but Swāmījī is talking and giving a lecture, we are stiff, then we are dead. So even your husband comes at home, then your wife is in. And husband says, "How are you, darling?" How are you? So then the husband said, "What are you doing?" She said, "Sarvahitāsāni." Then the husband said, "Oh, I also will do so. Both will become happy." That's what we can do, and we are learning. So only practicing āsanas and prāṇāyāms and joking is not good. But you should be happy. Make yourself happy. And if you know how to be happy, then I have here in Strelka so many that you can laugh, and you will be very open. And I can tell you this, oh my God, he constantly is open. And when it will be closed, we will throw it away. Therefore, the flower said, "Let me be here." And so we should all be very nice and happy, then speak something. Look, there you can talk like this, why not? You know the Jainas? Now, for some time, the whole world has become Jainas, yes, and they are happy, and they are doing everything. So the flower is inside here, and you know, the disciples are all open here, all relaxed. And you know what happens? All bhaktas, they locked me in this one cabin. Look, this is the disciple's. So, like you put in the case one bird, but that has at least the air. But your master has not even the air. So, you see, that is it. But still, the Master is blaspheming. Therefore, it's best as we said. Now we will make mantra, and this mantra we sing for the whole world. For all humans. All for the animals, for all the vegetation, all to the nice water of the earth and mother earth, and our clouds, how purified those clouds from the ocean, bringing completely pure. And we are putting all the canalization into the ocean. Oh my God! How is it that we humans are putting garbage and everything in the ocean? Then oceans have their very nice meditation, and not meditation, the tablets. And so there was a problem. They were making the ocean dirty. So one day, an old couple with a little boat took their food, lunch, or anything, and they were riding in the ocean. And suddenly, that old lady said to her husband, "We will eat." But we don't have salt. So what now? What to do? So her husband said, "We can only pray." And then one God came. What are you asking? Then the old lady said, "I had forgotten to have salt." Husband said, "What do you want?" Oh, very dirty from the countryside and from the people. And the ocean is also now very dirty. What will happen? What? Doesn't matter, but we don't have a sword. So, sound came, voice came. I give you one little machine. So that you can chant and say the mantra. And this mantra I will not tell you, and said, "The salt will come," and with grinding, Salt, salt, come please, and we want to eat something. Salt, salt. Then say your mantras. And it said, "Mantras, please come, salt." Okay, and they got salt. And after, still, the grinder is bringing the salt. And the whole salt is in his boat, and outside, water is going. Oh my God, why is my grinder not stopping? The other one came. Then stop your mantra. But which kind of mantra? To stop the thought. So he said, "We lost the mantra." So grinding, grinding, still now the salt is in the ocean, grinding. So the whole ocean is full of salt. Now they said, "What can we think?" Because the salt is the purification, the best who can clean and purify is the salt. And that whole ocean is full of salt. And that also comes, the salt in the earth, from the water, from the ocean. And it is said, oh, it is salt. So this salt is for everyone, and therefore, God said, "Jesus, we are the salt of the earth." We are the salt of the earth, so when we die, you know what happens? You will become salt. Yes. And when you will not become the salt, then your bones are like this all the time. So they are putting inside salt, so within a few weeks, everything is, all your bones and all are melting. Salt and salt. So we are one of the parts of the salt, and so in our body is more salt. Our blood is also salty. All water coming from our body is salty, so that is a good mantra. So we should also sing some mantra. Now we were calling Mahāprabhujī, and now we say, "Oṁ Prabhupāda Nirañjana Śabdakabhañjana, Oṁ Prabhu Dīpa Nirañjana Śabda Janai, Oṁ Prabhu Dīpa Nirañjana Śabda Kabal. Oṁ Prabhu Dīpa Nirañjana Sabādu. Oṁ Prabhu Dīpa Nirañjana Sabādu...." We will pray in this mantra continuously, but this is for the whole world to get rid of this virus. We will continue to repeat this mantra as a prayer to get this virus out of this earth. Oṁ Prabhudī Panirañjana Sabhā Dukha Ban OM PRABHUDI PANIRANJANA SABHADUKAR ... ... OM PRABHUDI PANIRANJANA SABHADUKHA OM PRABHUDI PANIRANJANA SABHADUKHA OM PRABHUDI PANIRANJANA SABHADUKHA OM PRABHUDI PANIRANJANASA BADUKABHAN OM PRABHUDI PANIRANJANASA BADUKABHAN... OM PRABHUDI PANIRANJANA SABADUKABAN Oṁ Prabhudī Panirañjana Sabādukabāna. ... Janai Oṁ Prabhupādīpa Nirañjana Sabā. Oṁ Prabhupādīpa Nirañjana Sabā Dukkha Bāna. ... OM PRABHUDI PANIRAM JANA SABADUKAPAN OM PRABHUDI PANIRAM JANA SABADUKAPAN... JANAYOM PRABHUPADIPANIRANJANASABHADUKAVAN OM PRABHUPADIPANIRANJANASABHADUKAVAN Om Prabhudeepaniranjanasabhadukavan ... Om Prabhudeepaniranjanasabhadukavan. Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān kī. O Mahāprabhujī, please clean all our negative thoughts and please give us good health, happiness, and your blessings. Om, Āhaprabhujī, please purify us, purify our thoughts, and give us happiness. So long time, long time, once I was in one, two months nearly in America. And in San Francisco, I was there. And there was some kind of little yoga practice. And different kinds of yogīs, and they invited me there. So I was also there for one day. They asked me to stay three days, but I had no time, so I went. And so there was one Indian, and he was working there, something in San Francisco. And when he saw me, he came to me. Then he said, Swamiji, I am doing some kind of practice. And I said, "What kind of practice?" And now his techniques, he made it very famous after many years. Step by step, step by step, and now it's called yoga. And many people are practicing, and that is called laughing yoga. So if someone is very sad, he said, if someone is sad, if one has some problems, or something, inside or outside, from your side inside, or from the other side, you make them happy. Or if I am not happy, I am inside like this, then I will open it. So I said, "What is that? How is it?" And now, many you know, many, many you know. And so he said, "Can I show you, Swamiji?" I said, "OK." And I'm standing like... And suddenly I was... I was frightened. He said, "Ha, ha... ha. Oh, my God." So you can do also now today. Ha, ha... ha. Ha, ha... ha. And he stood up and he said, "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha." Yes, and when they brought the food, and people were sleeping like this, and he said, "Ha, ha... ha. Today I was, I thought, my God, you will be evening like this." Yeah, so you should say it. What? Hello? Only five people. Say it. That was the thing. Well, few are making it like this. Oh, God. Make your hands, palms more warm. Look, my, my, how red. My blood is red, you know. And yours is very cold. Yeah. So, once more. Oh, no. Oh, good. Very good. Yes. Very good. Then I give you something very good, okay? So, someone should go to the altar to Mahāprabhujī, and we shall sing the prayer. Okay? Namaḥ Dhyāna Mūlaṁ Guru Mūrti, Pūjā Mūlaṁ Guru Pādaṁ, Mantra Mūlaṁ Guru Vākyaṁ, Bhakṣaṁ Mūlaṁ Guru Kṛpā. Oṁ Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Alak Purījī Mahādeva Devādhi Deva Deveśvara Mahādeva Satguru Svāmī Madhvanānjī Bhagavān.
