God Rama and Diwali

A spiritual discourse on the significance of Diwali and divine incarnations.

"Čili tomu dni, kdy Pán Rāma přichází zpátky do svého království, se říká Dīvālī."

"But on the day when Mahāprabhujī was born, or knowledge, I came as a god."

A speaker addresses a global audience, explaining the festival of Diwali as the celebration of Bhagavān Rāma's return to his kingdom, which fills India with light. The talk connects this to the birth of Mahāprabhujī, recounts the story of Rāvaṇa's ego and boon from Śiva, and clarifies the divine identities of Rāma as Viṣṇu and Hanumanjī as Śiva. The session concludes with a practical announcement for an upcoming reading.

Madhavananjī Mahārājakī, Śrī Vaiśvananjī Mahārājakī. Good evening, all my dear sisters, brothers, all yogīs, all around the world, all our dear humans. Let us pray according to your feelings, and you know which you are having: that you are a master, a guru, religious, etc. Každý podle svých vlastních pocitů a každý podle svého vlastního mistra, náboženství, gurua a podobně. In this part of Europe, winter is slowly coming, day by day. And on the other side of the globe, where Australia, New Zealand, etc. are, it is more hot, and it is summer time. We are around the whole globe, and there are all humans who are doing their best to make all good things. We should be together, as we are humans. In the same way, we know that the time has come, one of the very holy times; it is about Bhagavān Rāma. And Rāma is how many thousands of years? Bhagavān Rāma, Lakṣmaṇa, Sītā, etc. Bhagavān Rāma, Lakṣmaṇa, Sītā, and the rest. And it is the time here, what we call the Dīvālī. God Rāma was traveling through the whole globe and came back again to his kingdom. His kingdom was very long. But his residence is in India, and we know all about this. So when he comes back from his traveling throughout the globe—he went through the whole forest with humans, for the animals, etc.—this coming moon time, the new moon will come. But there is the light because of the dark, and there is the light making all the light, lighting with the oils. That is what we call, like here, the best light. There is a story long more about this. Because when God Rāma came back to his residence, all people were so happy that after 14 years he had returned. So day and night people were coming, coming to see the God Rāma, that he is there. So the people, very far distance and near the trees, they were making the dīpaks. The time was not wax, and also they were putting a lot of food for people, or anyone who was coming from a far, far distance. So on every step, there are big trees, and they were making fruits and eating and many things. Different kinds of food, many sweets, fruits, breads, etc. And every plant and tree was full of light. When it comes to Bhagavān Rāma in his kingdom, so it is in your kingdom, where his place is his palace, very beautiful, long, nice tree, and many, many lights inside. A na něm mnoho světílek a lidé zpívali a zdravili se, vítali se. Čili tomu dni, kdy Pán Rāma přichází zpátky do svého království, se říká Dīvālī. So in three days the day is coming. You know very much, and today if you want to see through on the Diwali with satellite, you can look at the satellite. The whole India is completely full of light. Because that is for the light of the God-dramas. Everywhere they were happy that God, Rāma, Sītā, Arjuna, Lakṣmaṇa and Hanumānjī had come. Všude svítili a radostně očekávali příchod Rámy, Lakṣmaṇa, Sity a také Hanumānjīho. Je to velice dlouhý příběh. Teď proti tomu je Indie docela malá. About three times more, that was the Rām God Rāma's kingdom. So that is one of the days we have the new year. So on that day, which is one of the holiest days, and on that day, on the Diwali evening and morning, during Brahmā time, about early morning, between three and four o'clock, and Mahāprabhujī's incarnation. Mahāprabhujī was born. The lamps, which were all for Dīvālī, were putting the lamps like this. But after one or two hours, because that oil is gone, all his light is finished. But on the day when Mahāprabhujī was born, or knowledge, I came as a god. And immediately, all lamps which were there in the flames, again the flames came automatically. And little drops came like a little rain, and it was yellow drops which are like our chandan sandals. So that is the day for us that God Rāma came, and also Bhagavān Dīpta and Mahāprabhujī came. And then we know further Mahāprabhujī's stories, we know all. So that is coming very soon. And that's why we worship everything. And that day when Bhagavān Rāma came, Bhagavān Rāma? Bhagavān Rāma is Viṣṇu. Rāma is Viṣṇu. And Hanumanjī is the Śiva. And Hanumanjī is Śiva. You know the stories of this? So why Hanumanjī came like a monkey? Znáte ten příběh o tom, proč Hanumanjī vlastně přišel v podobě opičáka? Je to dlouhý příběh. Because someone asked God Rāma to the Śiva and Rāvaṇa, that was like what we call something devil demon, and he went to the Śiva, he made a lot of big tapasyā. He wanted to have this and this and that. He was a great person and very learned. Many powers, but one thing was not good. That was his ego when ego had brought him negativity. And so he came to Rāvaṇa, the Rāvaṇa, and he came to Śiva, and he wanted to have some power. That he made a lot of practice, and now he said, "You have to give me this power." So he went to the Himalayas. Pārvatī and Śiva were on the rock, and Rāvaṇa came and asked, "Please give me this power." So he was near the rock, and Shiva put on the rock. So that Rāvaṇa would be squeezed, but Rāvaṇa had such great power. So he held the big rock with two hands, and he asked for power, Ravana, and he cut his head seven times. Then Shiva has to give him the blessing, son. So that no one can kill him, and if someone cuts his head, the second one is there. So he was giving a very beautiful prayer to Śiva. I will tell you, sometimes someone can read this beautiful story, and Rāvaṇa comes back. So many, many goddesses, the humans in the heavens, they all were very afraid of Rāvaṇa. Many, many things, they are all the times with him. But because of his ego, he did many negative things, so now Rāvaṇa has to be killed. But it's not easy, that's what we have seen in the Rāmāyaṇa. And today, what you saw, this Rāmāyaṇa, you saw his power now. But Śiva is Śiva, so as God, Rāma, Rāma came as Śiva? No, Viṣṇu, sorry. Rāma, daughter, excuse. And Hanumanjī came as a Śiva. That goes further. I'm sorry that I was talking about Rāma as Śiva. It's Vishnu and Lakshmi, so Rama and Sita, so they are the same. So Bhagavān Vishnu is protector, so Bhagavān Vishnu protects all, and Lakshmī is prosperity, wholeness. So these are the symbols in this. And so, you know, we are talking about kuṇḍalinī and cakra. So there are so many powers, and see what it is. It takes a long, long time to come from here down to here; it's also not easy. A vidíte, kolik sil je tam skryto a není snadné dostat se z úplného spodku toho obrazce, symbolu, až nahoru. And so we will continue, but now it's the time of the Diwali and our R.A.D. Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī's birthday or incarnation. So on Friday it will be our brother, the Scot. He's from Australia, and he's here. Of course, his family is here. And so he will read on Friday evening, very nice words from Mahāprabhujī's Līlā Amṛt. So, my dears, because what I'm talking about here, where I'm sitting, there are not so many people because of the corona, and so people should not be together too much. But my voice, through the techniques, is throughout the whole world. Even in Sri Lanka, there are also Bhaktas listening to me now. America, Australia, everywhere. So this is the technique, and it is powerful so that we can give a message to everyone. So we will continue tomorrow. Wish you all the best. I wish you all the best. Om Shanti! Om Shanti!...
