Be happy be good

The spiritual path requires that what is learned settles deep within until it becomes a lived practice.

What you have learned must go deeper into your inner self. Perfection comes through reflection and practice over time. This seminar used stories and games to imprint the teachings. Meditation is not focusing outside but going within through Guru’s blessing. Never speak negatively; turn negative into positive. We are the light, and fear is just darkness. Give peace and harmony to those who are afraid. Mother is the first guru, father before mother. Loving parents, siblings, neighbors—this itself is yoga. Do not fear black magic; natural darkness is harmless. Be happy, practice your sadhana, read the holy books. Negative in the body cannot be removed, only illumined by an inner light. That light is happiness, joy, peace, harmony, respect. Practice your mantra and kriya. Integrate the prayer given. Carry this yoga into daily life.

"We are the light, and where there is darkness, we come to the light."

"Do not be afraid. There is no negative, there is nothing. We have God with us."

Dev Purīṣa Mahādevakī, Devādhi Dev Deveśvara Mahādevakī, Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavānakī, Alakh Purījī Mahādevakī, and our Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavānakī, and all our brothers and sisters here — may our Gurujīs’ blessings be upon you. Now, let us see who is speaking here? They are double-talking, so you may speak — not double. Everyone can speak, but not from this side. So first, we fold our hands and pray, offering devotion to Mahāprabhujī, Devpurījī, and all the Holy Gurujīs. Our Gurudeva, thank you very much. For one week we were very comfortable, very relaxed, and we experienced immense spiritual development and spiritual talks. We all pray to Thee, O Gurudeva, that we all may be healthy, happy, and well, and return home. Each and every cell of our body, each and every hair on the body, has received purification and a beautiful atmosphere, and this will remain with us. Om Namah Siri Prabhupādīpa Nārāyaṇa. Om Namah Siri Prabhupādīpa Nārāyaṇa. Sambhadas Prabhu Śaraṇa Parāyaṇam. Om Namah Śrī Prabhudeep Nam. Om Namah Śrī Prabhudeep. Haṁsabh Das Prabhu Śaraṇa Parāyaṇam. Haṁsabh. Saran Parāyaṇam. Oṁ Namaḥ Śrī Prabhudīp Nārāyaṇ. Oṁ Namo Śrī Prabhudīpa Haṁsabhādas Prabhu. Saran Parāyaṇam... Oṁ Namo Śrī Prabhudīpā Nārāyaṇāya, Oṁ Namo Śrī Prabhudīpāya. Haṁ Śabdas Prabhu Śaraṇa Parāyaṇam. Oṁ Śabdas Śaraṇa Parāyaṇam. Oṁ Śrī Prabhudīpā Nārāyaṇāya, Śrī Prabhudīpāya. Oṁ Śāntiḥ, Oṁ Śāntiḥ... It is a beautiful day, and we are all here together. We have had a beautiful yoga class with many different kinds of classes, and you have learned many things. Now, when you leave from here, go with happiness, comfort, and health, and return to your family. And certainly, you can share all that you have learned in your seminar. What we have learned will now go deeper and deeper into our inner self. That which you have learned now — after a long time, it will come inside. We have said that we go from primary school to the universities. We were learning, we are learning, and when we learn completely, then we know what we have learned. Now you have learned, but you still have not placed it very deep in consciousness. And therefore, what you have learned from primary school until the university has just become a mess. And now you have to go within. Then you will become the master. Before, you were learning; you were a student. And after that, you will again go within yourself to reflect on what you have learned from the beginning until now. You cannot finally say, “I am perfect.” The perfection — then we will see how it is. Then you will have some time, some process, and some practice with what you have learned. Similarly, regarding this yoga — how many different kinds of yoga have you learned in this one week? If I had taught only one by one, you would forget again. But what I gave you is different; it is called the Guru and Guru Kul. Guru Kul is like a school, and from there I gave you, as it were, games, and through playing that game, you learn more than through something else. And that comes more into our mind, into our heart, and into our thoughts. So, we learn many things. Sometimes we learn very nice stories. Sometimes we laugh. Why? Because we have created so much within our consciousness. Whatever we have learned in our schools, universities, and so on, definitely we have learned a lot. Some story or some little play still remains in our consciousness. And much of what we learned, we have forgotten: poems, dramas, and stories. This passes through our whole being. And so in this seminar — these are our five or six seminars we are now offering — everyone has learned very much. I do not know how many stories there were. You received many, many things. So when we go to yoga, mostly they are making exercises. Or some prāṇāyāmas. Or, at most, someone says meditation. So what does meditation mean? In German, it is called “Medi.” But anyway, we say that one swells, we throw out, and then we take it in — because that is outside. If you meditate on anything, how you are talking, that is not meditation. That is only to put yourself outside of yourself somewhere, and you think you are there and there and there. But where are you? We have forgotten our self. Of course, we are here in this āśram, very big, with beautiful trees and parks. How many parks! And with open eyes, while talking, we can say, “Oh, beautiful.” But still, it is outside. We have to get within ourselves. That happens through Guru Kṛpā — Guru Kṛpā means the blessing. And that blessing, who can accept it and who cannot? So you have to learn within yourself, you know, what you have heard. All positive. We should never talk about negative things to others. Even if something seems negative, we can make it positive. We are the light, and where there is darkness, we come to the light. So our light is light. What does that mean? Someone is negative, someone you tell, “This is bad, and that is like this, and that is something like that.” Magic? What is magic? There is no magic. It is only fear. So someone who perceives such a person in that way, it gives us fear. And it is such a fear that people who think like that can even kill. But that prāṇa and jīva, the life inside, they are frightened; maybe killed, or you are killing someone, etc. Our soul — and our soul is again going to darkness. So one thing, my dears, that you all should know: we are not afraid. And if you are afraid of someone, you should give that person peace and harmony. So if someone is afraid or frightened, you come and give. There is no negative, there is nothing. We have God with us, and we have our own disciples. The first one is your mother. Your mother is your master, your guru, and the father. And the father is before the mother. And therefore, your father and your mother, they will not frighten you. If someone frightens the parents — mother or father, or anything like this — then it means they are mentally not good. It is like certain animals: they have little babies coming out of the eggs, or they are eating. Many snakes lay many eggs, and when from the eggs come little, little animals, they eat them, because they do not know. Similarly, maybe not all — from thousands and thousands, maybe one person is mentally not good. But then the children, they are very humble and well-loved, and they will give more respect and something. Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā... He Kevalam Mahāprabhujīp Karata He Kevalam, Father, and then the brothers and sisters — but they are now beside you. And then we come to the third, and that is our friends. And then, fourth is our father people. Likewise, from all this, that is the guru, or in some religions, they are taking care of this in the temples; they are like our spiritual guides also. In this way, we should have no fear. There is no... there is... who? Some people are like this; they can do wrong. In one little village, there was one person who was mentally not good, and he was breaking many, many things in the village, causing much disturbance. He had a lot of distractions: the wheelies, you know — break your car, break your door, throw dirt, etc. So, one day, one man said, “You are a stupid person here. But please don’t burn our whole village.” And he said, “Thank you.” Děkuji, he said. “I know now, you always give me good ideas, thank you. Tomorrow, you will see the whole village will be on fire.” So, people who think that there are some kind of negatives and this and that — it is not like that. So feel, be happy, be good. Love your parents, please love your brothers, sisters, your neighbors, your school friends, etc. We are growing, we are growing. This is also yoga. But I am telling you that I am teaching you: this is yoga. This is yoga. Not only always sitting and saying “Oṁ,” and at home sitting “Oṁ,” and your husband says, “Please, can you be so peaceful?” She said, “Sit up, I’m doing my prasadana.” So this is not like that. This is not yoga. So from our toes, from our toes to the top of the head and from the top of the head to the toes, we have to feel humble, kind, peaceful — everything. So, we learned a lot. We gave you so many stories, and you should understand now. And do not be afraid. Do not be afraid. There are many people who say, “Oh, one has black magic.” Okay, but I have black magic every day. What is that? When the sun sets down, I eat and work, everything. Now there is dark, and in the dark, I am relaxing, sloughing. And then I am getting up in the sun. There is only this darkness. What is the darkness? Or afraid? Afraid is darkness. So do not worry about anything. Every country has its best. All people are very good in every village. Just make your own self more agile, very agile. Go for a walk, go swimming — but only you can swim. Who cannot swim, please do not go in. And then see if the water is clean or not. Or there are some crocodiles, so let the crocodile be there, okay? Okay, so there is somebody saying, “I am going crocodile.” He said, but others said, there is somebody who says, “I will,” crocodiles and others, and what are they telling? These stories, you know? I will come, brother or friend, friend, some of these questions, you know that? Yes, cue? See you later, alligator. Tell loudly, please. “See you later, alligator.” Then? “How is it going?” Yeah, for a while, I will come across a dial, okay? So there are some things: be happy, be nice, practice your sādhanā, and read, read our bhajans. Read our books. You know, for every prāṇāyāma, every yoga and daily life book, it is very, very good and very clear, simple. And our Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras, “Hidden Powers in Humans,” and there are Mahāprabhujī’s bhajana books. So we have immense, immense wisdom. So what you practiced, remain and remain more, and practice. So, it is like this: we shall take insight into our body, into our brain, into everything in our body. And what in the body is negative or something? Let it go out. So, how can we take out the negative? It is like this: we are in a dark room. We cannot see anything. And we make a little fire, and we see everything. So, how do we take the negative out of ourselves — any mental problems, these problems? We need a light. And what kind of light? Happiness, joy, peace, harmony, respect, etc. And there is both negative and positive in the body all the time. We cannot take the negative out. So there are some who sometimes have such anger, and sometimes they make it explode. So explode is okay. They will explode, and we will put it clean together. So peace for us. Your mantra, your Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna, and those who are only practicing the Kriyā — from the Mūlādhāra till the Svādhiṣṭhāna, and how many are there for each cakra, and which mantra is there — and this time we will again speak about these cakras. We are always talking a lot. So this bhajan we shared on prayer, and that is with Śrī Guru, Ātmā, Paramātmā. This pose is very, very nice. You should know it by heart. You should, in the morning, make this prayer. Or daytime. And this is from Śivānandjī Mahārāj, Holy Gurujī’s, Mahāprabhujī’s disciple. So let us sing, okay? Sit straight, and with your hands, you can keep them like this, you can play like this, or put your hands together. In the prayer, don’t make your toes like this. Or like this. Yes, always like this. So these are the three points, okay? So, Alakhpurījī Mahādevakī, Devādideva, Deveśvara Mahādevakī, I myself am doing it. Āradhī Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī kī, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān kī, Satya Sanātana Dharma kī, Oṁ Śānti, Śānti, Śānti. Śrī Guru Ātmā Paramātmā Mātmā Puruṣottama Sakala Jag ke Yantra Jāmī Cāracarakī Ātmā Prabhu Cāracarakī Ātmā. Sakala Jagat, come on. Siddhī, Praṇām, Bhagavān, Jai Jai, this is Gajananda, Durkananda. Yes, there is Czech, what we call, there is Austria, and this is Australia, and Australia, this is Austria. So this is Gajananda, writing good, but for good, it’s only for good, not for blue. So please put normal, okay? Well, anyhow, my dears, time is enough. And you can come here to make praṇām to Gurujī, take your luggage, and eat something. And whatever you want to take from here. And did you get the kuśāsana? Who got the kuśāsana? Okay, many. Something remained? Okay. Yes. Good. Anything? All right. And please, always keep, I tell you, Mahāprabhujī — so, and not my side. It should be your side. Till complete here, looking to there, and go further, more, more... tuck, tuck. People should see Holī Gurujī. I am holding, I have Mahāprabhujī here by me, okay? So, put one yoga mat, and those who want to praṇām and take prasād may go. And see you again. Dīp Nārāyaṇa Gāyakī. Hari Om.
