Āradhī Bhagavān Śrī Alakpurījī Mahādev kī Jai. Devadhī Dev Deveśvar Mahādev Dev Puruṣa Mahādev kī Jai. Devadhī Dev Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī kī Jai. My respect to all other yoga centers, yoga schools, and yoga ashrams around the whole world. Also, all different kinds of religions are doing their spirituality in that way. I respect them very much, and I wish that they should continue their spiritual practices in this time of our age, in this Kali Yuga. We know how it is said that many people, when they feel their feelings, want to marry, have children, and become parents. When there are children who go to school, parents should also give education to the children at home. It is very important that we humans around the whole world should take care and respectfully give what is good to our children. Of course, even whole countries, all people, and the United Nations, are concerned with how to give education to children and not let children go far away until they are at least 18 or 20 years old. The best is twenty-two years. There are some ways, and some say that we should not educate children towards spirituality, religion, or something. Then what is that? So there is religion, spirituality, and the best of all is our culture. Every country has its education and its spirituality. But culture is very important. Where there is culture, there is spirituality. So, my dear, we should, in our country and in our culture, and in different instances—even in your country with different cultural peoples—we should give this education to the children. For example, at Christmas time. When it was the time of Christmas, we had all these cultural festivals. Just now, Christmas. So when people begin awakening again, it is the Christian day. We are all preparing very much; people are making so many sweets and different clothes. This already begins one month before, with people planning what they will give on Christmas day. Children are also looking forward, and elderly people, parents and children, are saying, "Christmas, Christmas, we are waiting for Christmas." That’s the culture. What will they do for Christmas? They bake sweets and prepare food and various gifts. Children and adults look forward to it. So that’s the holiday. It can be spiritual, it can be cultural. How the people are coming, they are awakening inside. In other countries, for example the Jewish people, they also have their culture very nicely, or Indians, Chinese, and all Mexicans. Before they had their culture, after Christmas the missionaries brought this culture. Why not? And the very oldest culture, which is in India, Diwali—how many thousands of years? Before also, there was this Diwali holy time before that, and all people are preparing. You can see how much culture there is in India, very, very much: Gaṇeśa, Pārvatī, Śiva, all many, many things. Because this brings culture and education to the people, to the children. Through this, when parents are making such cultural festivals, children look forward. And also, there are the times: which years, what time, which month, which constellation, marriage time. We should know, according to the Jyotiṣa and all this, how and when the children should be married. So, very culturally, they are making ceremonies, good dress, good foods, and good things. Many people come from different places, invited for the children’s marriage. Sometimes thousands of them come. Of course, all the thousands of people that come give a good festival and food. They make so many nice foods, sweet and good, because at the marriages, no killed animals should be brought there, because that’s not good. But now, in recent centuries, people have turned a little bit in another direction, as they kill the animals and eat the meat also. But in the ceremonies and pūjā, worshipping, we are making the fire or these very pure things: sweet milk and many are making sweets. Those people who come there for this wedding, all who come also give the couples who marry their money. Everyone gives in what is called the envelope. It comes to more money than what they are using for the vegetables and everything. It is said, drop by drop fills the pot. They all come there. Some children, about 10 years or 15 or 20 years old, they also go to see the ceremonies of the marriages. The girls say to their mother or father, "Father, when I marry, I will also have, like this, mother, we’ll be like this." And Father says, "Also, of course." So it is a cultural feeling coming into the people, so they know that we are humans, our religions, our people, friends. Then the children grow in such a way to give the culture of the humans. So, my dear, all my friends, my devotees, and my other good friends, please give that education to your children. Cultural education, then, of course, the studies: schools, colleges, universities, become a doctor, professor, etc., or a farmer. You know, my dears, if there were no farmers, we would die. The greatest in the country is for our farmers. So that culture now, many people are learning how to do it in culture, and they should go, and people are so happy, they like it. Also, from our culture, what do you have in your country to see and feel, and what not? How many rivers are flowing? How many rivers flow in that country? How many creeks are there, and where are the forests? How many forests are of different kinds of trees? What kind of fruits are there? How much good do we have from these oils? Different kinds of oils, like olive, seed, many things. Then, how many times in a year do you have this, where you can harvest something? How are your birds and country? Can we go to your country and see and take a photo of how many creatures, the birds? Yes, the birds are a beauty, the color of our country. And what we see, what is the best honey in my country. Many people make honey bees, and they make a lot of honey, and they give a jar of the honey to the neighbor’s friends, just giving. Because the honey is what we call a nectar. Nectar of the honey has many, many good things. It is like a medicine, this honey. You know, many people in these countries in Europe, and I see always that to their children, or even the husband says to the wife or the wife says to the husband, "Oh, my honey. My dear, my honey, sweet one." So, honey, what is it? Many countries say, "If my honeys are the best, our honey," that’s right. In New Zealand, there is special honey, and you know it’s very expensive. One kilo of honey is about, you can say, about 800 or 1,000 crown euros in Europe, in Austria. That honey is one of the best, and now they are producing it there. In many, many countries, this honey is coming. It is the best medicine. Now, about, let’s say, seven months—seven or maybe ten—from New Zealand, I began to have this honey from March till now. One teaspoon of honey in the morning I’m taking, and then before or after, eleven almonds. Take eleven almonds, or in family however many you have, put them in the water in the evening, warm or cold, it doesn’t matter, water inside, and then peel them and then chew. In Ayurveda, they said honey and this is the very best for the brain. So I also began to take it for my brain, so I have taken it. And my brain is very good now. Joke. Well, so early morning we go and clean our mouth, and we take the almonds, and then after that take one teaspoon of honey. If we can get it from New Zealand, they have three or four qualities of that. One is the first one from the flowers of that particular tree. That tree is only there, and of course they don’t let these trees go out, not get out. And this honey, that’s in nectaria. After that, you can have, if you like, pure cow milk from the mother, milk directly to us. So, even the urine of that cow is very, very medicinal. Many people do not use it, but it is said if someone has cancer, three times a day they should give half a cup of this young cow urine. Also, for those who have problems with many things, this is especially about our temperature of the body, the blood is high or low pressure, yeah. Five minutes, go and make a massage on the back of the cow and see after three days how it’s going down. So there are many things. But if you are feeding something different to this cow, then something is disturbed. Or the cows, they are different cows, then it’s not so good. The government of India has these particular cows, and they have a very big farm. No other cows can be grazed there. You know, we had one of our beautiful bulls, Sūrya Nārāyaṇa. And his children, they are the same, beautiful as water, milk, as it is. I can give you an example, a real, really... I know, I don’t want that she will not be angry. I ask about this, and that’s called Dr. Dentist of Austria, our Bhakti, my disciple, Dr. Shanti. Our dear Dr. Shanti, she is very much taking care of the nourishment. But she cannot drink the milk here in Europe. She cannot. Why? Because the milk is not pure milk. When she comes to India and the garden, our Dr. Shanti enjoys the milk with the tea. Even she can drink the milk because she knows how to take the nourishment. So our cows, we have now about 800 cows, and in Barikatu about 500 cows or more, and near Kailash, there are about 1,000 cows in two places. Now the government of India is supporting the cows. They give the money to feed the cows and take care of them. So, my dear, the culture, and so we call India, is a culture of the cradle. So India is a culture of the cradle. With all, because India is very big, we have about thirty-five languages, and thousands of these others, which are every about one kilometer or five kilometer distance, other language. But every world, every country, they have a culture. So, my dear, can we turn ourselves, not only to yoga, āsanas, prāṇāyāma—āsanas, prāṇāyāma, this—but can we come somehow to that culture? Otherwise, people don’t know. After, let’s say, maximum 50 years, many things we don’t know, what is there. But Christmas, since when is Christmas there on that day? All of us are coming together, and there are many, many festivals there also. There’s one festival where the rabbit is bringing the eggs, so I don’t know if the rabbit is bringing the eggs or not, but it has something we should know exactly. These people, they have what means egg and what means this. They know. Also, in Christianity, not Christmas, in Christianity, once a year they make a tilak with the S. Now, I think only 20% they are doing. Or, let’s say, maybe 50%. I’m sorry, I did not look properly. But I see, I’m now 52 years or 51 years here in this country. I’m observing this culture, how nice it is, and how layers come, going through and through. The marriages, the great marriages here, but now I don’t know. So this culture brings the humans together. So we sell our parents, our fathers, and we should—people should give our children our culture. Not only that, I ask you, telling you that you come to the Indian culture, or the African culture or the Australian culture. In every country we should live there and enjoy it when we come. So in that way, we have to bring the children up in a good way. Now, even in little villages, the children’s culture is gone. Someone told me yesterday that many people are telling them that there is no culture like this anymore. So we who are married, and by the blessing of God, you have children, and these children should have that education so that we should be like good humans in this culture. Prayer is very important. I know when I came from Europe, or India to Europe, many people at that time, when they have lunch or dinner or breakfast, then they all sit at the eating table—children and mothers—and they first say a prayer about the food. Do you know somebody here in Czech, Austria? What is it? Can you tell, Uma? What is it? "Thank you for the gift that I have received from you." Yes, thank you for the gift that I have received from you. That’s it. And we also have the eating mantra: Anāpūrṇe sadā pūrṇe, śaṅkara prāṇa vallabhe, vairāgyante sadā icchā, mahāvratī mātā ca pārvati devī, pitā devo maheśvaraḥ, bhaktyā śrīvatsaṁ sādhayet, satyaṁ vāsanāṁ karoti kalyāṇam, ārogyaṁ dhana sampadaḥ, śatru buddhi vināśāya, dīpa jyotiḥ namastute. Jyotiḥ paraṁ brahma dīpam sarve mohanaṁ dīpanaṁ sajjate sarvam santya dīpam sarvaṁ satyam oṁ brahmārpaṇaṁ brahma haviḥ brahmāgno brahmaṇā hutam. Brahma, Karma, Samādhi. Oṁ Pūrṇamadaḥ Pūrṇamidaṁ Pūrṇāt Pūrṇamudacyate. Pūrṇa sya pūrṇa mahādaya pūrṇa meva vaśiṣyate. Om śāntiḥ śāntiḥ... This is a prayer, and I think I will translate from Hindi to English, Sanskrit to English, and then we will know how it is very good. Or we also can say, "Anāpurṇe Śraddhā Purṇe Namaste." So this is a very cultured habit, that they don’t think it’s a God and religion. No, religion is a culture also, and that we should bring, all my dears, and we should respect every culture. We have in Europe a lot of this culture, but in some countries, there may be a difference. Therefore, it is that because where one little tree is growing, and it is already one meter in height, and then more branches come, we can change in different directions. We can bring knives together, all branches, but when this branch is very thick, then we cannot pull it up; it will break. Similarly, the youngest children. Also, the many other animals, even the elephants, and even the birds, and many animals from their... When they are little, that time we are turning them. And we know, you know, my dear, you know much better than me, all cultures are yours. And so, the prayers. So, yesterday, from our prayer, Om Satguru Bhagavānkī Āratī, that I told you yesterday. Hitkāri, sorry, jaya jaya chal padamurata bhava bandhanahāri. Hari om jaya jaya... guru deva Devī, deva, taya, sab guru mūrti dhari, o swāmī guru mūrti dhari. Kahraya veda purāṇa, kahraya veda purāṇa, guru maima bhārī. Hari Om, Jaya Jaya... Gurudev. Now, second: Yajña, Dāna, Havan, Tap, Bhāū Bhatī Kī Nā, Swāmī? Bhāū Bhatī Kī Nā. What does it mean? Yagya. We are making many, many yagyas, you know, in Hinduism, in Sanātana Dharma with us. This all is very ancient: Yajña. And Yajña and Dhan. Dhan means giving. For example, when you go to the church, you put one coin. Sometimes, I don’t know, ma’am, it’s now, but after the ceremony, not the ceremony, the prayers in church, and one person with a long stick, there’s a pot inside, with a cloth, and he was going from the plate where people are sitting. Everyone kneels on the knee, and puts everybody. If one makes or not, they give. They don’t say one must give, no, there is not so. This is a donation. So many things like this, even our trees: we are giving water and taking care, and then they give you fruits, and that gives us without any money. These three, he said, yes. Take, please, because the church, you know, beautiful church, very holy place, and this is about Christians, Jesus, mother, etc. But someone should take care of it. And that’s why we give the donation, dāna. Giving. Giving is a very, very important and very great thing. Don’t say that; give it to me. No, no, no. When you give it, then you know that you have given dharma. Dharma means that you get a blessing. So I am not here in the big hall now, because I’m in this corona. I’m only little myself, clocked in the glass box. But someone, there are workers here sitting and doing something. So every day after my satsaṅg, they give something in some box. I don’t know how much they give and when they give, I don’t know. But they have given. And someone takes care and gives it for what use? For good use, yajña. Through yajña, that is from our ancestors who died long ago. From there, until our child’s birth, and also when they are getting pregnant, the wife, they make so many pūjās. Every week, every Sunday, because Surya, so you should know that Surya, Surya is Surya’s son, and so that mother, the pregnant mother, she is taking care. It’s all for health and this, everything. The prayer every day. And so they make a pūjā, and when it gives birth, how the child is, and the child opens its eyes immediately. Some, there are children, after one week, it opens, we open a little, but they cannot open the eyes. Many times, people who come with me to India, and they see the little bird, they say, "Oh, can we see our baby who was born yesterday, not this?" They don’t bring children out. It is seven days or ten days, sūryas. But they see how the eyes of children are open completely, very aware. So that is the pūjā. It can be pūjā for your country, your religion, what kind of food, this, that. And of course, in our country, my country, at that time, until the child is born, the mother should not eat meat or alcohol, and things like this. Maminky nejedli maso a nepili alkohol, so the yajña and dāna. Dan means donation. I’m not telling you that now you should give me a donation. Agarbati, or a little other prayer, or some people, they are making from the cow dung, they are making pūjā. In Europe, many, many people are doing this yajña every morning. Havan. Give in Havan. And in that, in Havan also, there are two kinds of Havan. And that also gives something to the birds, to the ants, to all these creatures. So, that pregnant lady or girl, when her birth is, she has, she should, and she is doing, and her mother of this girl or their brother, they also will say, "Please do it for your son, for your son," like this. Havan. And then tap. Tap means do sādhanā practice. Work, work, work. Bahubhati. Many things. All this I have done. Kina. Kina means, "I have done all this." But after that, it is said, "What have you done with the guru? Without the guru’s blessing, the knowledge of the guru..." From what I told you about this prathānā prayer: "Bina guru gyān nai hove." Without the guru, the gyān will not come, knowledge. Will not come. There are two kinds of knowledge: the knowledge of the schools and from the mother and father. But when the guru comes, then give that blessing, and there comes that knowledge awake there. But if there is no guru, then you are only running there and there and there. So, devī devatā, je sab guru mūrti dhārī, Kera ya veda purāṇa, guru maima bhari, Yajña ar dāna, havan tapa, bau bhari kīna, bina guru jāna na hove, batak batak rehna. You are going here and there and here, then nowhere is there. Nahitakari Swami Dina Nahitakari Jaya Jaya Bandhanahari Hari Om Jaya Jaya... Gurudeva Devi devata yaha sab guru murati dhari, o swami guru murati dhari. Kehra ya veda purāṇa, kehra ya veda purāṇa, guru mahi mā bhārī. Hari Om, Jaya Jaya... Gurudev, yagya aur dān, havan, tap, bahubhati kī na, Swami, bahubhati kī na, bina guru gyān na hove, bina guru gyān na hove, bhaṭak bhaṭak rehna. Hari Om, Jaya Jaya... Gurudev Deep Nayan Bhagavān Kī Jai. Tomorrow continues. Zitra pokrachuyeme nāma kartā Prabhu Deep Kartā Mahā Prabhu Deep. Oṁ Śānti, Śānti, Śānti.
