We first think of our paramparās. Oṁ Śrī Alagpurījī. When we think about Alagpurījīs, we think of those who have been in Alagpurījī’s cave and saw the many, many rocks of the Himalayas, very beautiful, with the flowing of the Alaknandā river. Alakpurījī’s cave is beautiful. It’s not very big. There’s a part where one can stand up inside. One or two can stand. Two persons can sleep, or three, but they cannot stand up. They have to go a little, making a praṇām to Alagpurījī like this, and go in. So that’s always in many caves, going down, so we are falling down to the Holy Feet. Second, the beautiful caves—not a cave, the king’s big cave—but where the kings are staying inside is narrow, so that one can go in only until the shoulder or the chest; that is the height. They ask why. When the enemy comes, you cannot go two together. Second, they cannot go straight; they have to go down. And other enemies sitting up will chip them. So that was that. Why in the rocks? In the rocks is a praṇām, poured down to the Gurudev or priest. And for many kings and so on, either they have two undergrounds or different. But we should have in our heart, we should not narrow, we should not become narrow, and we expand our chest with happiness, joy, and for the holy saints, mothers, fathers, we bow down. So these are many things. That people were protecting and protecting from the enemies. Alakpurījī’s cave is a big rock. And it had no door. All the ṛṣis there, they did not build any doors. But we did it a little bit. So when we meditate, or we say, "Alak Purījī Mahādev Kī Jai," the whole rocks there are glaciers, rocks. When we meditate, there is a beautiful sound of the Alaknandā river. And it’s about wide, from this tree to this tree to that tree. But the current is very strong. And beautiful, beautiful,... cool water. When you put water on your body, it’s like a fire. So the cold becomes hot. That’s why the fire cannot remain without water. And water cannot remain without fire. These are the principles, the principles of all these five elements. Some people went and they took a shower in the river. I also wanted to go this time, and it is very near the river, just the river. And they said, "No, no, difficult. Swamiji is very deep." So I said, it cannot be so deep. And then when I went, I know it was very deep. So, young people, like all, they just jog, going quickly like monkeys. Lucky are they who can get this little, even the little water from the river, and drink. That is something. Then after that, we said, "Our great, great paramparā, Devpurījī." It is a great miracle. And how could Devpurījī remain there long? There is nothing to eat. Sometimes there is some grass. Otherwise, there are all glaciers and the cave. Alakpur is a big rock; it has been... many stones fall down, and inside, a little, very nice sitting. If it’s going in very deep, then you don’t know which kind of animals are inside. And it is that where the Pāṇḍavas went to heaven. So, the distance from Devpurījī’s gufā to the Pāṇḍavas is, I think, from here to the highway road. There were many of our bhaktas who came to their Devpurījī’s Gufā. Once I was there with a helicopter, but I did not know at that time there was Devpurījī’s Gufā. But now we have a picture of the cave. And those who went there, lucky ones, they touched the rock, they touched the stones. And on the way, there are many lakes, and there is one rock called Satopat, and it is said on every full moon, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva, all three, are bathing there. And it is the, they have the beautiful cave, they made little temples, and it is the Śiva there. The people who are strong, young, and who know every coming and going in this rocky area... So one disciple, he was from that area, then he was in the army, and now he is doing many techniques, practices, yoga. So one day he went up and came down. Up and come down, and people like Umāpurī and this some who was there. Three days going up and three days coming down, or four days slowly enjoying the beautiful Himalayas. But don’t think there is some restaurant, and there is coffee, and there is Coca-Cola, or there is chocolate, and no. It is the rocks, and we. We are thinking, "Where are we?" But we don’t see the riches there. But the ṛṣis are sitting on the rock and they see us, but we don’t see them. This is very important, very, very important. So it means those ṛṣis, they are in the astral body. Only the physical body is not there. But they made their body so it is just like transparent. So sometimes suddenly they appear, and someone can see somebody. Coming, going, in the rocks, on the cave, on the peak of the rock. So there, how and how many years, I don’t know, but Devpurījī was there. And which Dev Mahāprabhujī said in Vajana, Holī Gurujī said, "So, who can go? But if you are in age, do not go to Devpurījī. And others who are, people living here, and do you think that I can walk? You can walk, but not on that rock." Very strong working, training, everything, but that is a different world. Like it is. We are yogīs, we are disciples, we are this, but we are not like that. The rare, the rare, they merge into oneness. Otherwise, falling down, one by one, rock down. And when a person is walking there, sometimes it depends if you have the spirituality, understanding, and love for these Himalayas and this. You are not, how do you call it, very tired. So when one has this in the heart... We have here our one brother here, who is following the accounts, he is coming every day from Badrināth to our Alakpurījī cave, and then again he is going back. And when I was going back this time, I said I will ride with the horse, and the horse, she is a speed a little higher, not running, but going quickly. So I told Harsha Devī, I said, "Take these things and go earlier so that we will meet in Badrināth." And five minutes before that, she went. And I lost her in the rocks. With my horse, I was going. And what do I see? She is sitting there in front, in Badrinath, and waiting for Swamiji. It was so quick, and I didn’t ask her, I didn’t tell her, yeah? But I can tell you now, not because of her, but because of you. But because of you, her legs were not on the earth like this. She was walking quickly, quickly. So, there are a few people who have the heart and the joy of the Himalaya, the joy of our Gurudevs. Then, neither are we hungry; we have enough. Oxygen. We are developing the oxygen within us. That, this time, I understood. I told, I asked some people, then I was asking our Swami Yogesh Purī, I said, "Yogesh Purī, aeroplane is very big, three, four hundred people inside, and how much water and eating and many, many things, and all people are inside. So how do they have oxygen? They are taking oxygen from the ground with us, then it will be double heavier than the aeroplane. But they have developed that from the airplanes, heat, they all come, making something like oxygen is enough, very nice." Yes, so we have within us the oxygen, and it is coming from outside, but we are developing different oxygen inside. And so, when there is a joy of that spirituality, happiness, joy, then oxygen is enough there. We had one disciple, our Matajī Dayā Māta from China, and now she is in Canada. And she did not ride on the horse, and she was going slowly, slowly like an ant, and she came there eight kilometers through the rocks. These are all called the Ālakpurījī glaciers, and it is said, the capital of Ālakpurījī. And also, there were other people. One from India, she is in Australia, and she was also there. So, elderly people, slowly, slowly, but with such oxygen they had inside. So we also have to go step by step in our spiritual development as a yogī. Some people were tired a little bit and thought, "We will not be capable to come up to the Alakhpurījī Guffā." So there was some person that stayed two or three days in Badrinath. Then came. So there is something. So there is also from Vienna, there is one couple, retired, but they were coming slowly, slowly, and they came. Then I put one on the horse. And his wife Rukmaṇī, her name is Rukmaṇī. So, you know, they had so much power, inner power. And then we are getting this from the rocks of the Himalayas. And that is our four times. This now is our strelky. What I’m talking about, these trees are smiling. Yes. They were saying, yes, how much oxygen we have and how many different kinds of trees. Every tree has different oxygen. Also, the grass and the stones have it. So if we count how much vegetation is within our area, you should count it. I was maybe four days ago in Vienna. I asked the Umapuri, and I believe you were, no? Counting all the vegetation in my flat. About 70 or 90, 80 different kinds of plants, so that is life. And so Alak Purījī’s and then Dev Purījī’s. That I have heard, I saw that. I can see others’ eyes. Yeah, so the Umapuri show was, she was walking, and I knew through her eyes. Or many who go from their eyes, they told me exactly. And beautiful, beautiful, one rock, big, big rock. I think the whole area is more than this. And they said it has a thousand waterfalls. Did somebody see that? Stand up. Who saw that? One, two, three, four, five, six. Yes, Umpapurī was there, two, seven, eight. Thank you. So now, don’t think that Swamījī is making a joke. Thousand waterfalls. Even I don’t have a thousand hairs on my head. Why? Because it’s more beautiful. So, the higher it is, the more spirituality there is. When I’m going in an aeroplane, you are also going in an aeroplane. Sometimes I’m flying about 12 hours without landing. Then I said, "Oh, it must be God somewhere." And so high up. And Holy Gurujī said to me, "Did you see my up God or Holy Gurujī’s?" So, in that form, God is not there, neither here. It is on each and every cell in our body. And that kind of cell, they are becoming negative or positive, or anger or greed or spiritual. So this is all changing within our body. And so each and every cell in the body is within our self, and developing that spirituality or cosmic self within us, in our cells, inside of our body. And so, it’s very important that we are there, and it’s beautiful, beautiful, the full moon. And you can’t imagine in the Himalayas and in that part how this moon is. And this is, I think, on the rocks at the top, someone made me pictures. Our dear, should I tell someone’s name? Because then the whole world will know the name, but Vaiṇī, no. The good things, divine things, best things, everyone wants to see, no? And I can see there is one from Vienna, a very, very long disciple, a long disciple. It’s called Rādhā. You see how it is? Yeah. So, anyhow, so, let’s go further. So, now, each and every, so there is one story, a very nice story about one real ṛṣi. And that ṛṣi was in the Himalayas. And he was many, many years and long, long, long. And then, he was very thin, and so, what happens? That one got in his hand the Vedas, the Vedas, the book, and so, he read what it is, and so, the golden veil. So that ṛṣi read the Veda, and he began to learn. He learned, and he wanted to learn, and he was learning. Then one day the god who called that, now this ṛṣi should come to the Brahmaloka. So he sent the message to Dharmarāja and said, "Please come. God is bringing you to the humans, to the cosmic Self." He said, "Please tell Dharamarāj, tell me. I will learn all Vedas, and then I will go." So, how long will you need? Thousand years. OK. Time will come. A thousand is nothing. Like a whole month we are there, but it is like only one. Like this, it becomes one whole month. We were in the womb of the mother. We were born. We were playing. We were jumping. We were doing something. We became young. And further, and children, and old. And now we are lying in the bed and saying, "When will I die?" But still, he or she thinks it’s so little. Please, God, give me the time. So God said, "How much time do you need?" So this is going like this. So always said, our life is that’s it. All it is said, like a bullet, it’s gone. So how much will you? After a thousand years, we see that God said, "Dharmarāja, go and bring it." And he said, "Please, Ṛṣi, now is your time to come." And Dharmarāja sent me a message, but I did not finish the Vedas. I’m reading day and night. There are so many still. Please, I don’t want to die before this. Give me life, please, one more. So, many, many times he said, "A hundred years, a thousand years, etc." Dharamrāj said, "Why don’t you bring?" He said, "Well, the ṛṣi doesn’t want," he asks again and again. But you have to bring. Do say something. So Dharamarāja tells him some techniques on how to bring him up. So, the Himalaya, Ṛṣi, so the messenger of Dharmarāja is coming. Ṛṣi, please, we all worship you, you come, please. He said, "I cannot." All the Vedas and all, I want all. After, I will come. I cannot yet, I have not yet studied the Vedas, then I will come. This Himalaya. Tieto Himalaya. It is high; the heaven is Himalaya. So he said. That please. Please, put both your hands here on the Himalayan rock. The wind came with the sand, and they hold your hands. A lot of sand, dust, came into his hand. Ṛṣi, can you count how many grains of sand are in your palm? It’s not. I cannot count. He said, "This is only a little dust of the Himalaya, but the whole Himalaya is there with us. How will you finish this? You are yourself with us, and you are the Himalaya. And now, come, please." And so he received. So, there are people, and they are living. Doesn’t matter what we will do, they will not go away. And they are not visible. Maybe someone is sitting behind you. You don’t see them. I don’t see them. Maybe somebody is coming from the Himalayas. And Śrī Maheśvarānanda says, "Don’t talk like that, this is not right." So, this is what, therefore, yoga is not only physical exercises. It is something great, purifying the heart. Merge into oneness. Merge into oneness, and then, in that, you should melt. And in that melt, you become like the glass that becomes transformed, and then you are in Brahmaloka. And in these Dharmalokas, all is mine, and I am yours, so there is nothing, whom to say, "You are this." How to say, "God"? That you are, or God said, "Who I am." Did you melt inside that far? We have to go, my dears. What things are coming to me? I did not come here from my room to here. I did not think, "What will I teach today?" I have no book here. But that is Guru Kṛpā. Śiṣya ke ānanda maṅgalam. Holi Gurujī always said, "Guru Dev is that, and that becomes the Gurudev." Śiṣya ke ānand maṅgalam. Gurudev ke ānand maṅgal karta, śiṣya ke ānand maṅgalam. Anand means, you know what is Anand? What is Anand? What is Ānand? What is Ānand? Bliss, peace, and bliss are the result of satsaṅg. Gurujī said. So Paramsatguru is that who can bring us inside. So there, Satta Guru is that Himalayan, and many, many things. So we have to go there, and so there is one kind of seed. And they are making very nice, many kinds of herbs. Very little, little, little tulsī, little this, little this. And then, how to call this, grinding. Grind, grind, grind. And again, it goes through the three layers of the cloth. And let go through filtering. What remains? Again and again. All many seeds and this and that become in that one, that you can’t see what is inside. And it becomes clean water, like clean water. Then our prāṇa, all our five prāṇas, all our cells in the body, then it is said, you become Brahmaloka. Brahmā. Then we are the Brahmā. Otherwise, in our whole body, in the human body, many kinds of things go this, this,... That. That’s very difficult to understand. And it is very difficult to understand how it is in our body, how every time it goes somewhere else. Kalaj sabh tajak lpana dharke, vairagana vish dharke, vairagana vish guru varame chalu saunade. So, not that I will take the dress like this. Putting on the orange dress, now I am a swami. Oh, I am a great swami, that you went more down and down and down. Yes. When you are hot, taking orange dress, you get ego. And now, the ego means we have to grind on, take one stone. And what is that? A big stone. What is that? What is that? What are you doing? Gurujī said, "What are you doing?" You don’t know? Do something. What? Gurujī, what? Okay, Gurujī. So, we are all one in all, and, what Gurujī said, one in all and all in one. So, we are all individuals, nice, very nice herbals. Everyone is a unique herb, and now I am sitting here. I will grind it all day. You don’t know. After sleeping, I sit up and grind it. That’s it. Yes, and then I take the butter out. And this butter is not right. Boil it. And again, so these are our prāṇa, our energies, our cells, our thoughts, our whole being. Yes, one human or animals too. So when we become one with the cosmic, the self, this sky, the blue sky. But my dear, it is only, it is not right. There is no blue sky. I am flying with airplanes and seeing there is no blue. As far as I will go, there is no blue, but there is blue. Can you realize what is blue? When you have anger, when you are this and that, Then make some blue. That’s it. So we have to like that, that very blue sky, without anything inside, one corn in it. Then comes Amṛta. And then comes Amṛtā. Amṛtā. What did holy Gurujī say? What did holy Gurujī say? How is this, Guruji? Deep. Deep. What? This bhajan? Huh? Amma. Amma. Prakāś. Where is Prakāś? There is Prakāś. That sky. That is the sky. We can’t see it. We can’t see. The sky is there, but we can’t see. It is there, but we can’t see it. So, what is that? What was it? So that Prakāś is there and Amṛt is in you. We have that Amrit in us, all in our whole cells, blood, this and everything, but then finally it is Amrit. Yes, this story. So, what I am saying, the story of Prakash, what am I actually telling you, dear Gurujī? Prakash is the ocean of death, the lamp of the Lord. He is the source of all the worlds. The story of the Lord’s death, so that "amar" means immortal. Amar means immortal. The story means that the words, what Gurujī says, come into the heart. When it is in the hṛdaya, then everyone can have that kind of best to best bhajans, these many things. Writing stupid things and sending a letter, that is not like that. This story is about the immortal words of Holīgurūjī, which reside in the heart and which everyone can have. So, in that case, we are here, and that in Himalaya, all this is not in the eyes only, but in the whole body. And here, our ashram here, it is the divine heaven here for us. So enjoy, all enjoy. Don’t make jokes. Don’t guess. What guess? Guess a bit. Do become oneness within thyself, and from your outside you bring that. You can’t take in. You cannot take, because you have enough. It is full. And you have this full sort of nectar, and this nectar we should give. We have a light inside. We bring that light behind. The knowledge we have, that knowledge is not coming from outside. The knowledge is in our heart, in our brain. Each and everything is within us, and we are not understanding, and we are destroying. So, become nectar, become the heaven, the joy, the peace, the harmony, the love, the oneness, divine, my Gurudev. I am with my Gurudev. That’s it. So that we shall learn here: asanas, pranayamas also we will do. Sometimes we do, sometimes we don’t. Yesterday I did complete my yoga exercise, and today I was lazy. Maybe someone made me lazy. They bring me chai. Then I drink the chai. Then gossiping. Exercise. Okay. So, did exercise. Chick-chick. Today, truth is truth. My exercise, but it will come, and you also. So that’s okay. But our inner nectar and this blue sky, this blue, you should be blue inside now. So look in the blue. There are going clouds inside. It’s also good. But it is only temporary. So we have temporary anger, jealousy, caring, this and that. So in this ashram, as long as we are here, Please get more and more into your inner self, opening all your knowledge. Not from here, from you, out. There was one time our Swami, our Swami Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar in Australia, Jasraj. And one Jasraj Purī gave one story. Long ago, maybe some more forgotten, but I don’t forget. The good things I always remember. And where is anger or this and that? I’ve forgotten. So there was one sādhu, and that sādhu was going somewhere and eating whatever people gave or not. One day he went to some village, and about half a kilometer distance, there was a little temple, and he stayed there. Now, there is nobody coming, nobody bringing eating, and so one sādhu, and then someone came. He said, "Swāmījī, what are you doing?" He said, "It’s a good thing I’m eating my food, something." So bring the food, and he said, "Bring the pot." And in the pot, there was water, and make the fire. And then he said, "I have a miracle stone." So he put this miracle stone in the pot, and then it will be a very nice soup. And oh, this is very tasteful. Other men come. He said, "It is very nice." But if you put a little salt inside, it will be more tasteful. And then he said, "Yes, very good." But you can put a little inside sugar, then we put this inside, and oh, tasteful. We get more water inside for every people, and it’s good when we put a little ghee inside. And this stone is so miraculous. Bring the big pot, any big pot, and a... A little more water inside, and this stone is very powerful. Oh, it will be inside, tasteful, and the whole body will be healthy. And bring this something more. Bring a little of what we call some seed. Rice. Little rice. A little put inside haldi. This is a test of the stone you hold, and then, little pumpkin, let it pull inside, make it powder, and so big, bring more big pot. This stone is so powerful. Everybody said, "Oh, Swāmījī, you are so miracles. It’s my stone." And then he took a stone out. "You should drink, you should eat." Everybody was, "It’s so tasty." Oh, it’s very nice. And he took the stones, he threw it somewhere. And where is the stone? Is it in your body? It is in your God, is Gurudev, our Gurudev. All will is that this is a miracle stone, and it was nothing. So that is how one can make also. Similarly, we have in our body. So we have the milk, and in milk, somebody put something, and there’s another story, and it was dirty. Someone put it inside in the pot, from the cow dung, and this, and he said, "Oh, that’s a crate, yes, we give the milk inside." Oh, that’s getting better and better. And everybody brings liters and liters of milk inside. Everything was dung and anything. And look, this is butter and milk. This cow dung is so good. So it is how to do it. Similarly, in our body, we have a stone, and we must know how to use this stone. And with that, all we will give in our body. And what is this? Our good thinking, our peace, our harmony, our love, our kindness, we are the very best, we are humble. To become, put everything in our body, the good things. And so this stone of our heart becomes a peaceful heart, and everything will be great. So we have to develop. Whatever is within us, we sell. Come inside and give the good things, so we can’t get from outside. We give from our outside. That’s it.
