Good evening, my dear ones, all sisters, brothers, all members of Yoga in Daily Life around the whole world. I wish you all good health, harmony, peace, understanding, and spiritual development. I also extend these wishes to all the different ashrams, yoga centers, the many different kinds of yoga practitioners, and all other people from different religions. I wish them all good health, peace, harmony, and always, always happiness. I am Hindu Dharmasamrāṭ Chathguru Swami Madhvānandī Bhagavān. Mahāprabhujī often told me a story. There was an ashram where a satsaṅg was held. Afterward, many people were having prasāda, eating. People said, "All have eaten," but Mahāprabhujī said, "No, first you should all eat, and after I will eat." There were two or three people who came very late. They just sat in the back and didn’t want to disturb anything. Mahāprabhujī asked, "Have all had the prasād? Did they all eat?" They said yes. Then Mahāprabhujī stood up, got his food, and went to leave. He saw the three persons sitting there on the back side. Mahāprabhujī went to them and said, "You did not eat, so now I bring you, I give you the food. Please eat." Everyone was looking, wondering how this was possible. They had been serving everything, and all seemed okay; they hadn't seen anybody who came after. Then again, Mahāprabhujī came, and he brought something very sweet, like halwā or lapsī. Mahāprabhujī sat there on the ground and told these three bhaktas, "My children, eat more. I have this halvā for you, more." After that, holy Gurujī, Mahāprabhujī, came back. You see him now singing the bhajans, and I will have prasād. Once, Mahāprabhujī took the prasāda that was being given to him, and something remained on his plate. Mahāprabhujī just took one piece and said, "When you have all eaten and your stomach is full, my stomach is also full." This happened many, many times. There is a village called Harshor. Mahāprabhujī’s elder brother, or second brother, had an ashram house, a normal house, and a farm there. Mahāprabhujī used to go there. It was very interesting. There were many families, all Mahāprabhujī’s bhaktas. In one house, there was a small room where two people were living. When Mahāprabhujī came, they were preparing prasāda. Mahāprabhujī said, "I will make this halwā." It was a lapsī made from corn, one pot enough for maybe 20-30 people. When people from nearby little villages heard that Mahāprabhujī was there, many came—about two or three hundred people. Mahāprabhujī was sitting in one room. The bhaktas from Harshor village came to see him and asked, "Mahāprabhujī, should we cook more?" He said, "No." They asked why, saying, "Gurujī, there are more than 300 people, and still they are coming. We made only about 10 kilos. Maybe only 30-40 can eat." Mahāprabhujī said, "Why are you always thinking, 'There is no more food and no more food'?" Mahāprabhujī had one shawl. He put it over the pot where they had made a very nice pahlavā. Mahāprabhujī said, "Don’t take off this cloth, my cloth. You should take as much as you want to take. Everyone should eat." About 300 people ate, and more people came. Again, more and more came. It was about 8:30 in the evening. Then what Mahāprabhujī did was lie down. After that, Mahāprabhujī sat up and said, "Bring me also a little prasāda." People wondered, "Do we have it, or don’t we?" Mahāprabhujī said, "Bring it. What are you thinking?" He opened the cloth, and the pot was full of halvā soup. People said, "What is happening?" Mahāprabhujī said, "Why are you thinking that we don’t have? We have, Guru has, Devpurījī has, Mahāprabhujī has." How is it that we call it a miracle, or maybe something more? Mahāprabhujī was singing a very nice bhajan. People were singing many, many bhajans. It is said prasāda means enough, more than enough. We always sing one prayer before going to eat, for Annapūrṇā: "Annapūrṇā sādha pūrṇā. Annapūrṇā sādhapūrṇā." It means ever, not only now. If you take this Annapūrṇā—Annapūrṇā is the mother. There are two kinds of mothers we have today in the Viśva Mantra, Viśva Purāṇa. It is always said, "I am the mother. I am Mother, I am the Mother Earth, and she has completely enough." Even once, Bhagavān Śiva also comes for prasāda to Annapūrṇā. So, if we say no to this and that, there will always be nothing. But all, like for example here in Vienna, here in Jordan, in the Strylki, and the Umapuris, bringing, eating from her kitchen, and this green, green, and two are coming more, and four more are coming more, but all have enough. Shanti’s mother, Poonam, and her sister, Santosh. The name Santosh, santoṣa, means in every case that one is happy, always happy for everyone. So, santoṣa. Without santoṣa, nothing can come, and when the santoṣa is dead, it is called śānti. Śānti means peaceful, and so it is like that. That’s why the mothers, the women, the ladies, whatever you call them—when they go to the kitchen, they will always have enough and will bring good. And when the man is cooking, it is perfect but little, little. This is the mother. You know what, Mother? Unfortunately, we do not have enough respect for the mothers now, and that is also why one day Devpurījī came to Harshor. He does not go to anyone’s house; he will come to someone’s door and sit outside or in the house yard. He doesn’t want to go through the door. It is said, when we have the Śiva temple, it means that we have the place for the Śiva Liṅga. And that is Śiva, but before we close that house temple up, tower, before that, through the sky, it should come in the middle of where the Śiva Liṅga will be. Or, before the temple beginning, we can make it there; we should sit there. Or we have not blocked the door; all is open to the sky, and we can bring it here inside. And wherever we said Devapurījī’s, he never went in anyone’s house. So also from this Harshor village, there were great bhaktas there. There is the whole street of the Brahmins, Paṇḍits, and they are all Mahāprabhujī’s bhaktas. One of them had no children—they had two, three brothers, but one had no children. So he went after Prasāda there, and Devapurījī went. He doesn’t stay anywhere. About two kilometers, the people were running behind Devpurījī. At one tree, it’s called Kejari, Devapurījī was sitting there. He had a little bag, always, not a commander, not a cloth pocket, no, a bag. So the bag he was hanging on the tree, and therefore he was sitting there. These two people came and said, "Gurudev, please say what you know, what we want. Are you hungry?" They said, "We are always hungry." "That’s why you are always angry. What do you want?" "We need one son, a child." "Then take it from my bag, and open it." They opened it, and a beautiful cobra came out. Cobra. And they went away. "Gurujī, in my box, I see only snake." Therefore he said, "Because you are not spiritual and you have no bhakti, that’s why you always see snakes. Be humble. Bring me this bag back to me and say, 'Now put it inside.'" There were laddus, no snake, they said, but it wasn’t. "We don’t call it Guruji, it was a snake." He said, "Snake is in the ocean, Vishnu," and where Vishnu is residing, and the Śiva. "Why are you afraid of that?" "We are not afraid, but we are. But we ask you something, and you didn’t show me the snake, because in your thoughts it’s not good. But now come." He said, "No, we will not open your bag." He said, "Don’t tell me that. If you want that Leza, take it." And he put his hand in the open, and there were beautiful, good laddus. You know what laddus are? They are made from very nice chapatis, and it’s very nice with sugar and ghee and things like this. Nice. It can be two, three, four days, and nothing will happen. "Take these laddus, go. I give you three." After some years, they came. "Gurudev, we got three good brothers, very, very good. But I give you the laddū." "Yes, Gurudev, this is your laddū." They were so happy, the whole families. Now they are working; many of them are going to Calcutta, some are going to other countries like this, and one or two brothers, children, they are in Harshor. Many of their children, their daughters, they were married somewhere; they are all coming to the holy Gurujī’s, Mahāprabhujī’s, holy Gurujī’s āśrams. One family is there, very near by Jadan. When I go there, I have a little time, but they are waiting, they are waiting, "Swamiji, please come." This is how it is said: there are two Gods. We said one is Yuga to Yuga, different Yugas to the Yugas, but they are the same. They are living gods, and so if there is no living god... then, slowly, slowly, everything will dry, that’s it. So, in that way, kṛpā, Gurudev’s kṛpā, many, many things with the Mahāprabhujī and all, as to the Devapurījī’s. And our holy Gurujī’s, you know, many, many, many times miracles. Three times I saw that I was sleeping in the same room with the holy Gurujī. I was sleeping on the yoga pad, down, with one shawl, and Gurujī had one bed; he was sleeping, and he was always using one shawl and sleeping. Three times I saw. I saw in the room light. Then I look and I see the whole cloth, the shawl of Mahāprabhujī, the holy Gurujī’s, and his light, completely like inside his lamp. The first time I said, "Gurujī, Gurujī, it’s burning your clothes." Guruji said, "What happened? I’m sleeping. What is that? Buddha is burning? Nothing is burning. Lie down, sleep." After two years or something, again. Many, many things. This is called śānta, sādhus. They don’t make miracles, but the miracle is there. If someone is saying, "I want to have miracles, I want to have kuṇḍalinī awakening, everything," don’t tell this. And if then it is not right, it will go wrong. Many, many people become mentally unwell. So, therefore, we should not tell anything, like "give me," "tell me," or "make for me." Only Seva. And that Seva is that miracle for you. But if you said, "I want to take this, and I will not tell others," and this and that, for one Gurujī and thousands of disciples, or two disciples, or five disciples, it doesn’t matter if it’s thousands or millions or one. But when there is jealousy, or thinking, "Why not me?" and "Why this and that?" it is a long problem that people cannot achieve what they want to achieve. There is a beautiful story holy Gurujī told once, and how it can happen. Buddha, and it is so, there was one family, and there was one, two, three children, and one middle boy, he was ill, and he had a kind of disease, what the people they said, up now is very little gone, this disease, but it is called leprosy. Of course, the family is giving food, and this and his brothers, and that, but they said, "A whole day you are giving troubles to us. We will give you water, don’t worry." But he said, "I’m thirsty." "Yes, yes, I bring it to you in one hour, or eating, yes. You don’t need always. You are just like down here. We will give you something eating, don’t worry." And others, they can do what they want, how they can do. So, mother, father, they were helping, but father and mother died, and two brothers. Both brothers had two wives and one. He had two children, and they didn’t help him. One day, in the morning, they didn’t give him milk. At that time, there was no tea and coffee. Tea and coffee have, in the last centuries, people were drinking milk or some juice and good waters, etc. Or alcohol, the people were drinking a lot, but after it came this coffee and tea. And it is said the coffee and tea have destroyed the humans also; the age goes down and down, they die quickly. So we are drinking tea, but there are people who drink only black tea or black coffee. That is quickly harming. But if it’s with the milk, then it’s completely different. But it has an effect, and then milk is the mother’s milk. It doesn’t matter which milk, mother, our mother or our cow, our buffalo, our goat, from the camel, also from the horse, and more from the milk. And it’s very powerful, this all. But mostly we took this little milk from buffaloes, which are very good milkers. And that is mother’s milk. The mother of the animals is also their mother. And so that kind of milk is giving to us, and so it is better to drink only milk. But when we give too much sugar, sweet, then it is like a cane sugar. But not that cane sugar, we do like white sugar and this and that. That is not so good, but we like it. It’s very nice and sweet, and this, then one cup, and some people they do two or three spoons sugar inside. Sweet, very good, warm milk and coffee. But it’s not good, that was. Once it is said, the doctor said, the brain needs fat and sweet. But they said, "We have, with all our food, there is in the way all the sweet and also the sad." So, like this, how to go with the eating and this? So that one man, a leper, he was so. One day about midday, this man said, "Brother, can you give me water? And I’m thirsty, I’m hungry." He was sitting with his wife and children, so his brother said, "You are always making us troubles. Why don’t you die? Go away." You know, how many you can say the gun? And the gun is also our tongue. What we tell on the tongue, that is a poison. Everything. But this boy, who was about thirty, slowly, slowly he got out of the house, and nobody cared about him. He was going slowly, slowly, walking somewhere, gave the water, and he went. He stayed one day in one little village under a tree, and some people came and gave him food and water, and like this. Next day, he got up and went further. He walked about, let’s say, 30-40 kilometers, and by the afternoon, there was a village again, and there was a water well and a very beautiful tree, a banyan tree, very nice. And there was one sitting, something one can sit on, but he was sitting down because the sand was very nice and pure, and he was in, and he didn’t want to sit somewhere, maybe somebody will send you, have this disease, and what? So he was always, he had one little cloth and sitting on the sand. There came one lady to get the water from this water well, and then she told my brother, "What? You have this disease? He has many diseases." So it is said, "I will give you some medicine and give water." And she went quickly and brought some food, but he said, "My sister, I have this disease. No one comes close to me, and I also have much diarrhea in the stomach." She said, "I will bring you," so she brought some. Some medicine, Ayurvedic from the neem powder, and he brought some Sonamukhī. This will clean all from the body. You know that Sonamukhī is very strong and very, very good, very good in Āyurveda. So she said, she brought her little, and she said, "Two, three, five days, or one week, or you should take little, little." And what happened? He drank it all. Now, and with Neem, in two, three days, Neem, all his disease, nearly degenerated. But with the Sonamukhī in his stomach, it was all coming out. And he fell down. So, that was, she brought this, but one Gurujī came there and he said, "Take the Sonāmukhī and have this mantra." You should take some Gurujī, some will give you mantra, this. He said, "Gurujī, I have no Gurujī, I don’t have anything. Can you give me, please, your mantra?" "Okay, I give you the mantra, but remember this, Sonamukhī." Guruji went, and after one week, this Sonamukhī cleaned him out. Also came some blood and this, and he said, "Oh my God, Gurujī, oh Gurujī, I think you... He should have killed me better." But Gurujī was not there, so he went slowly. That girl, lady, is coming every day with the water, bringing some little food from Sanyamukhī, some milk or something, and she treated him really like her brother, and he became really healthy. After these two weeks there, under the banyan tree, and these such beautiful trees, under the trees, when we are sitting under any trees, it is very good and healthy for us. Well, he went, "I will not go back home, I will not go to my home, I have no home," and he went far away, and always his mantra he had forgotten from Gurujī, so he said only "Sonāmukhī, Sonāmukhī, Sonāmukhī, Sonāmukhī," because Sonāmukhī had healed him. So after two, three days, he went to a far distance, and he was sitting under a tree, and there came a lady, and she said, "Oh Gurujī, you are Master’s Gurujī." He said, "My Gurujī is there." She said, "No, no, you are my Gurujī. Please, Gurujī, can you help me, please?" Inwardly, he said, "My self is, I am ill and can do nothing." But she said, "No, no, no, Gurujī, you can do everything." Well, what happened? She said, "I had two donkeys, and my two donkeys are lost. And me and my husband, we are at home, and we are working with this, using for the two donkeys, and one day in the night, both donkeys went out. So, three or four days we are looking, and we can’t see anywhere where there are donkeys. And donkeys are very strong animals. They will not ask; they will not make any noise. If they are hungry, they will not ask anything. If they are thirsty, they also are not. It’s a very humble animal. Even someone will cut their leg. These donkeys will not say, 'Ha, ha,' no. There is no pain like this, but they will do nothing. Very, very good soul, this." So that lady said, "Gurujī, can you give me a mantra?" So he said, "Sonāmukhī." And second, "What is the mantra that my animals might do? Ḍaṅkīs." He said, "You and your husband both take it, one quarter kilo. Do both of you, one quarter kilo, sonāmukhī. Make all in the water and drink it, and then my donkeys will come. He said, 'You will see your donkeys. It will come. It will come in your house.'" She went, she confided to this man, so he went to this house and he said to the husband, "I met so-and-so Sādhu, and he said, 'Our ḍaṅkīs, we lost,' and he said, 'We should drink this Sonāmukhī water.' And eat, and both donkeys will come home." Her husband said, "You are very stupid. Always these two animals, they don’t know, and we drink this sonamuki, and these donkeys will come back home. Please be a little normal." She said, "No, my Gurujī said, and it will be." He said, "You may drink, I will not do." But she said mentally, "I will give you that my donkeys will come back." So after evening, she made very nice food, and very nice. Today she made a little kadhi and pakoras, like Umapuri made yesterday and the day before yesterday. So, it was tasteful. Sona muki and chilae, chilies, and little lemons, and then this all was tasteful. And her husband said, "Darling, today is the best food." And she also, after one hour, two hours. The stomach was making cluck, cluck,... and they go to the toilet. And at that time, there was no toilet in the house. Always go out in the forest. It’s now about 130 years. Many people, even until 80 years before, there was no toilet in the house, only outside. And now she goes to the toilet at night, then the husband goes. He said, "What happens?" She said, "It happened." And going and coming back and going. Our husband was so angry. He said, "What have you done? Sonāmukhī is good," he said. Oh God! But the sunrise, and people are coming and going, so he said, "I don’t want to go every five minutes, ten minutes, half an hour, running to the toilet." So he said, "We have our little building, something, and we have the grass for our donkeys, so we can go there, and we go to the toilet." And so, both of them, slowly, slowly walking, opened the door, and what did she see inside? Two donkeys. And she said to her husband, "I told you, my Gurujī has so much power. He will bring our children into our house. Go and wash yourself and the donkey." The donkey was very happy. Now she said, "My Gurujī is the best." So Gurujī was somewhere there under the trees, somewhere in a little village, and there was a little place from one king. That king had two queens, so he liked one, and the other he didn’t want. So she had food and a good house, and one lady was helping her. And he only wanted that one queen. And this many years it was, so this one lady was very sad and everything. And for her, this lady, who is the king, does not want her, this queen, so that the lady from the donkeys is always coming to the king and helping, eating, and cooking, and like this. And she said, "You know, Queen, my Gurujī is so powerful. What is that? I have medicine. What is that? It is named Sonāmukhī. You drink this, and your husband, the king, will come to you, and he will never go away from you." She said, really, she said, "Yes," then she said, "What is that medicine?" She said, "I have with me half a kilo. So one kilo, the quarter kilo, I will bring it to you all. And little me, that kadhi, little chili inside." And she was drinking. Marta kya kartā? Marta kya karta? Marta means, "Who is dying?" She can do anything. And she was cleaning her stomach, and there are some problems in the stomach, and she thought, "I will die now." So this queen wrote a letter to her king, and she said, "My Highness, so and so, I am very sad, and you didn’t come to me at all. But now I am very ill, and I think by this evening I will die. So I give you my key, whatever you have given, and I say to you, 'Bye bye, I go to God.'" This letter was given to this lady, and she went to the other queen, and there the king and queen were there, and she gave the letter to the king. When he opened and read, when he saw that she is in such a condition, this world, she said, "I go with you." This other lady said, "What is that?" And she is reading. She tears the letter and says, "Don’t go there." He said, "You are like a, like a, what do you call it, a hyena. You are an animal. You have no heart for this?" She said, "I will never see your face anymore." And she went, and she went to the other queen, and he came and brought some other doctor, and this and everything was good. And that other one, he said, "Put her in another house, room, now she is so happy." And this other lady of the donkeys, she said, "My Guruji, such a powerful my Guruji, I never saw any Guru like that. And my Gurujī is great." So the king said and the queen said, "Where is your Gurujī?" So they came to the Gurujī. So the queen said and the king said, "Please, you get us as disciples, and we give you the house on the fifth floor, whole for you. Be here, and we are your disciples." So he went, and it was a very nice, beautiful villa, and that lady said, "You see my Gurujī?" And the king said also, "Yes, true." After three or four years, one day, from another kingdom, they attacked to take this kingdom away from this one. And all the like in Mahābhārata, they all came many, many together, the horses and... And they came near to this palace, about one kilometer distance. Tomorrow we will attack. So, the sun setting, the message came, and they said to the king, "So, king and queen, they look, and there, all people, they said, 'There are hundreds of their soldiers, and we have only about two hundred or one hundred fifty. What to do?'" So they went back, and this lady was there. What happened? This happened. Our Gurujī is here. Well, the king said, "Our Gurujī is a Gurujī, but that three-fourths of a hundred or more soldiers." She said, "Don’t worry, my Gurujī can do all." So they went with Gurujī and the queen, and they said, "Gurujī, there are so many soldiers who have come. They are fighting with us, and we have only 150. Guru Dev we know, but you also cannot do this." So Sonāmukhī Gurujī said, "Alright, no problem. I will solve it. Give them sonāmukhī." And this lady quickly said, "Come on, come on down." So he said, "What should we do?" She said, "Don’t, don’t, don’t wait. Bring all sonāmukhī from our farm and all our soldiers and all our people and make very nice, what you call them, food." Everybody should eat very well. And they called them and they said there was a problem. So they made again these pakoras and kadhis and parathas and all with the sonamukis and gave them to eat, and they all said, "Oh, very good, tasteful, tasteful." And she said, "We have a lot of water here for everybody," and it was night. And all the soldiers, they had stomach pain. About 20 of them ran to go to the toilet. They came back. 30 went quickly again. They came. The others, 100, went. Then again, they came. 80 were going. My God, all are running, going, running. So the other soldiers and their boss. He went to their other king. He said, "King, king, there is something happening. What is happening? My God, it’s a terrible situation. What is that?" "Highness, I think we should, before sunrise, we should run away." He said, "What?" Midnight now, and look with the telescope: how many coming and darting, and coming and darting? They are not going to the toilet so much; they are coming, a hundred coming. That’s the problem. Then, please, quickly, everyone, we should take our... Tents and everything, before sunrise we must run away. And before sunrise, all were lying in the field, and all ran away. Finished again, that donkey lady came, "Your Highness, my Gurujī, Sonāmukhī." Said, "Yes, he is the great man." And so they went away, and again they have very peaceful their kingdom. And also, the Sonāmukhī Gurujī is the best Gurujī of all. So that is this. This is the science of a yogī, and that is the other science of the others. So that is it. How when Gurujī said, "Your mother can tell you, your father can, and that you must hold it," and that is how it is. Sonāmukhī, Sonāmukhī, Gurudev, keep Sonāmukhī with you always. Yes, yes, you should. Very important, very good medicine. Further, we will come on. Namaḥ Śivāyaḥ. Oṁ Nām Kartā Prabhu Dīp Kartā Mahā Prabhu Dīp Kartā Hi Kevalam. Oṁ Hari Oṁ Hari Oṁ, Hari Hari Oṁ.
