Love animals, vegetation and Earth

The onset of a powerful Kali Yuga brings global suffering, primarily due to human actions. Humans torture and consume other creatures, causing widespread disease and imbalance. This pandemic particularly affects those who are not sattvic. The entire Earth, our mother, is suffering from human cruelty and chemical interference. In this age, the guidance of the true Guru is essential to dispel darkness. The Guru paramparā originates from the divine. All who teach us good are gurus, leading us from ignorance to light. Sattvic living and practice provide protection and clarity.

"Humans are torturing all other creatures, animals; it is unbelievable."

"Guru is the one who brings out the light from the darkness."

Good evening, dear sisters and brothers around the world, to Yoga and Daily Life, and to the different kinds of yogas, ashrams, yoga centers, yoga teachers, and students around the world. Respect to all of them. Oṁ Namaḥ Nārāyaṇa. We are here today with our Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Jñānānandajī Mahārāj and his ashram. Many bhaktas have come from different parts of the world and also from India. We are trying not to bring many people because of the coronavirus and the directives from governments worldwide. They advise maintaining distance to protect ourselves. This situation has persisted for a year now, and the whole world is in trouble. We do not know why this corona disease is like this. In this last year, a very strong Kali Yuga has begun. Satya Yuga, Dvāpara Yuga, Tretā Yuga, and Kali Yuga—this Kali Yuga is very strict and powerful. It is already attacking all of us. There may be a disease in one country, but why is it across the whole world? Why such a vibration of disease only for humans? In Kali Yuga, all jīvas—jalchar, thalchar, nabachar (aquatic, terrestrial, and aerial beings)—all are suffering, mostly because of humans. Humans are torturing all other creatures, animals; it is unbelievable. Humans should not eat dead bodies. Leave aside sattvic food, they do not. Do you know how they torture animals? They put them on the fire, leave the animal, and take it out while it is still living, and so on. Therefore, I think in this time of Kali Yuga, Kali Yuga itself says, "Oh man, oh human, out of the 8.4 million species of creatures, why are they suffering?" Humans can still try. Coming to Yoga and Daily Life around the world, I began to research why so many people are suffering and why yogīs are not well. Yogīs are sāttvic. They understand what God is, they feel for other creatures and help them. Such humans were not attacked by this corona. Unfortunately, many people from Western countries or other countries, and lastly, many Indians, are eating meat, eggs, and other animals. It is like Hanumān is sitting, sleeping, so the people are sleeping. We want to be like Western people who can eat, drink alcohol, and wear what they call a tie. The tie is not just a tie; it has a different origin. Long ago, in the Croatian country of Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Jāneśvarjī, they created something called a 'caravata'. From this caravan, it came to the British. The British changed it. This came from what? How? From hanging humans. In many countries, they hang people. The Croatians did not make it like that; they made a very nice ornament, a very nice cloth in this way. But others turned it into hanging. They think it is something best, but sometimes it will call you like this, and you are hanged up. My country, India, has different kinds of dress. But after some time, about 5,000 years or so, they took the Kravat. I do not know why, my dear. My country, the whole world, but my India, where Bhagavān Śiva, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and all, many, many... we gave up the religions. What we call religion, there was no name 'religion'. It was only Sanātana. Sanātana means all that is good. Now, okay, religion is okay. Religion means a relation to God. But it is different now. There are many other religions now: Christians, Muslims, followers of Jesus, and other countries, many, and Hindus. Religion, religion, religion. One in all and all in one is only one. Like in that time, but we... they said, "We have to study, study." Now, okay, good. Science is very good. I do not want to say that our India has done good, but we lost the Sanātana Dharma. It was not a 'dharma' at that time; it was all one whole pool of humanities. Now every country is separate—from Australia, all this art from this—how many countries have they made separate? Otherwise, that was Bhārat, India before. Now we are, even those living in Bhārat, in our country, we do not understand. We only want to be the Prime Minister, we want to be the Minister, we want that. Nothing has money and is funny, nothing. This suffering and so many diseases came because we did not understand humanity. We say "humanity, humanity," but why? If you were, you are not done. Animals, it is very troubling. Now, not only the animals, but the vegetation, and not only the vegetation, the earth—Bhārat, or our earth, our mother. Mother is the earth, our mother, who is suffering now very much. That mother has many creatures there. Because we humans make so many different kinds of diseases and chemicals, and so on, we kill the animals, birds, everything, just in some years. Humans began to say the seed and all; they make a seed that will grow only once and then not anymore. Why? They make other seeds, and we have to buy other seeds. All that we eat and do is killing us also. What is the sun's size? Why are you doing this? But everybody says, "I want to be like this. I want to..." There are some countries that have no more chemicals in their country. Two or three countries have problems, and I do not want to go further because you all know. So I try to research a little bit, and I said it will take time. In Yoga and Daily Life around the world, all my disciples, or my brothers and sisters, you can say, are practitioner yogīs. Since they came to me, they all gave up meat, eggs, fish, alcohol, etc. They are very sattvic, and they love animals also. Through that, in our Yoga and Daily Life, people were healthy, happy, and they were out of the corona. Yes, some cases happened because they were doctors or nurses, or they were doing humanitarian work, so maybe some got attacked; otherwise, not. This is not only my talk here. On Swamiji Televisions, where I am speaking, all our people are very happy and healthy in their family. If, for example, in a family of five, only two are practicing yoga and three are not, then they are all... attacked by the corona. But still, our Yoga and Daily Life practitioners are mostly outside of India, in many countries, and they are all out of the corona. Plus, in India, those who are sattvic, as I have said, were not affected very much. But someone who is old and always sitting with people... Like I said today also: distance, distance, distance. Our Prime Minister, Modījī, has done a lot of work in that way. So, always, please, a little distance. Please listen. It is for you. But in a small home with five children, of course they are together, so there is a difference. We are suffering. This is a Kali Yuga, and we do not know how we will come after further. There was not only this disease; there were many earthquakes many times. In nearly one month, constantly earthquakes. In one place, a few times, it was very strong, buildings broken, and otherwise still now at midnight, or something, coming depression, I do not know why. But that point where it is, that was one of the places where they were slaughtering all cows and all animals there. How much? My God, hundreds, thousands. So that jīv, jo hain, wo jīv bichārā ka, usko mārā kār diyā, galā thora kār diyā. The blood of the animals is just flowing like water, and this is the difference. But now, in Western countries, very many people have awakened, very much. They are very, very good. But I do not know, in my country India, many were making yoga very much, everybody. But they do not tell anybody what they are eating. For our people first, my Yoga in Daily Life took a long, long time. I am now more than 52 years in European countries. I traveled and traveled and traveled. How long? And these people, even the generation, many children, they do not even want to look at meat or something like that. So this is one thing. The second is our Ālakpurījī paramparā. Guru guru hai. Sab guru hai. Who is giving it, how to drive a cycle for a child or person? So who has given how to bike, that is also our guru. Who gives training for car driving is also our guru. All who give us good are our guru, master, teacher. Finally, it is: first is mother guru, father guru, the teacher guru, and sādguru. Guru, guru wo hai, that guru is paramparā from the Śiva times. You know that Śiva, Brahmā, and Viṣṇu are three. At every different time, in Satyug there was one Śiva, later Rāma, Viṣṇu is this. They are three, but they are all changing. But then it is said, the Guru... And Guru is for everyone there, and therefore Guru is Guru. Two Gurus, one Guru is just what we have. And Brahmā, Viṣṇu, they are also our Guru, Bhagavān. But then, after many, many years, Gurujī is not there. Therefore, in every country, in every village, there are Gurus. But now everybody thinks, "I am a guru, I am a guru." That is not good. Guru is that. I am a guru, but I am my guru, therefore I am always a disciple. That guru will be there at that time, finally. And Gurujī said that before you will give your life, at that time, it is said that a few hours or a few days, then it will say so. At the last time of life, Dharmarāja will be counting. How many did you do, negative? And what do you have to do? Dharma, dharma, adharma. Where is your dharma and adharma? If there is more, then you go further. If there is no other, then not even hell. But if you go to hell, you will not stay in hell forever. Hell is not forever. Again, they will come, but come through Chaurāsī kā chakkar pe. But when good we have done, have done good, yes, okay. Today you have one apple from others, you eat it, or that it is, or something. That is not at least. But chori hamesha karta rahe. Janwaron ko maarte rahe. Aadmiyon ko maarte rahe. If you do not have a Guru, you will remain in the same world. That is why: Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Deva Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Guruve Namaha. So, Parabrahma is with the Lord, but the Mother, the Mother Earth, and the Mother Earth, the Mother gives her daughter. It comes in the mother’s body, and there is that, you see. We do not know; we cannot see anything. But that mother’s body comes beautiful, just like God itself. The child and the father, both have to be. In the beginning, when Bhagavān Śiva, then it is said, where and how? What will it be? Śiva said, because Śakti, Śiva and Śakti, so that Śiva and Śakti both, that is the Parabrahma, Paramātmā. But it is also said that in the man... it is more female, and in the female is more male’s feelings, everything. And for India also, we said cows, all animals, they are all, mostly they are all females. Who is the male? The male. The human male is not the male. It is your place. The mother’s place is for the child. It is given to you too, is not it? But there is a horse. It is not his. Mother is the mother of earth, and from the earth comes the mother, and that is mother. But now, who understands the mother? Who respects the mother? Who respects the husband? Who respects the husband? Humans, should we do in that way? This Kali Yuga is too much, and therefore, let us—we should do vāsadanā. We have done, we did not know, and we help this something we say to God. Please, and so the Guru, the Guru that is still, that humans are living. And so, everyone who is teaching us anything is a guru. But then, mātṛ bhāva, pitṛ bhāva, ācārya bhāva, or ṛṣi guru bhāva. Or, unke bhi saath mein, very much have the sādhanā for that. Then we come further to a guru. Guru means—what is a guru? What does guru mean? Guru and roo, dark and to guru. So that means the guru is the one who brings out the light from the darkness. But once you said, "I am white color, black color, red color, this, that," is the thing. Guru is from the heart inside, so in that way, are we working? As Alak Purījī is from the Alak Purījī, it is from the Satya Yuga, and this Alak Purījī is with his Badrināth. After coming a little further from Badrināth, so for that, it is called Alak Purījī, Haryo. And Alak Nanda is Alak Nandi, and Nanda Devī is Dev Nanda Devī, in the time of Satyug. And when Pārvatī and Śivjī had a relationship, Śiva and Pārvatī, Pārvatī said, "I will meditate with Śivjī." She went to the forest for meditation, so where is Pārvatī? So he said, "Where is Pārvatī?" He said that in the forest where Śivjī is and Nandā Devī. Nanda Devī’s land in Badrināth, etc., that is her, her Devī’s. And in that same place is Alakh Purī’s. I told you before that Nandā Devī used to go to feed cows. Then the lion came and said, "We will eat the cow." So she came as a cow. Nanda Devī said, "Wait, you will eat me." She calls the cow a cow, but I have two wishes. You eat me again. What? First of all, where I am standing, where Nanda Devī is standing, this is where I want to build my temple. Secondly, Alak Purījī is my Gurujī. So the river of Gurujī, the river of Alaknandā that is flowing, I want to be there with it. That is why I have named it as Alaknandā. It is flowing now. From there, there is Alak Purījī. I have seen him four times: one time in a very different form, but with clouds, in the clouds, and three times in the rock. In the rock, always like, this form was found again and again, and this is in the same cave. My Gurujī, Mahāprabhujī, has written many times in his bhajans of Alagpurījī. And so now, my śiṣyā, she is here, she is from Croatia also. She is a very good scientist, a very good artist. So she made this, and today from there she brought this. She has Kamala tell about this, but please do not make anybody photos still, yeah, because we did not. Please do not take photos. Can you tell about this or what, yeah? "I have no words to say. I am very, very touched and so much blessed to have this amazing opportunity of my life to make this painting completely according to Viśvagurujī’s instruction and completely according to the image he showed me on the rock. There I found everything, all information I needed to make this painting, and the guidance of Vishwagurujī, my beloved Gurujī, was such an amazing experience, and it gave this result, as you see. This, this is what I can tell now, because I am full of emotions and very, very blessed and happy. This is the happiest day of my life." That is why: Śrī Alak Purījī Samrājya kī Rājdhānī Alak Nanda Nandī kā Udbhāgam. So in that way, I tell you, especially that Alak Purījī has come, and about mostly what I was telling about Corona, what happened, and it is in the right world. Our Yoga in Daily Life, Swamiji Televisions, they are listening everywhere in Japan, everywhere, Japan centers, many, many countries. I came from Europe. I arrived in Delhi at midnight and stayed until 5. I was tired from this, but I said I will. I should not come and sit in the hall like this because of the disease. Tomorrow I will be outside. So, in this way, please do not take a photo, please do not take a photo. So that is where, my dear brothers, I wish you all the best. Practice, practice, practice. I will give you tomorrow, or in a few days I am here, we will have a program down. Outside, one is a very nice... all four you should have about. It is called Brahmrī Prāṇāyāma. Brahmrī Prāṇāyāma, there is a... where how many problems will be from the brain, something or talkings, and many things tomorrow, I... We will do Brahmrī Prāṇāyāma. Brahmrī Prāṇāyāma is not only one vibration; there are many vibrations. This Brahmārī prāṇāyāma goes down to the bottom of your feet. It goes down there, and from here, Brahmārī prāṇāyāma, tomorrow I will tell you, is a very, very important practice. But do not do too much. This is the problem. People all say, "Swamijī said very good," and now we will practice. I said only two or three times. But somebody said, "Oh, laddu is sweet, and laddu is sweet, and one more, and one more, Brahmrī." So tomorrow, it will be specially for the Brahmrī Prāṇāyāma, and it will have about many techniques, but this, inside it, we will tell tomorrow. Āśīrvād, Hari Om Śānti, or Dhanyavād. Āśīrvād to all of you, or Gajan. Mahāmaṇḍaleśwar jī, Yajaneśwar jī, is here. Very nice ashram here. Sometime I will come to this ashram. Hari Om. Nāma kartā prabhu-dīpa kartā mahā prabhu-dīpa kartā hi kevalam. Oṁ śānti śānti... hi hari om. Allak Purījī Mahādev, Devādhi Dev Deveśvara Mahādev, Ārādhi Bhagavān Śrī Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī kī, Hindudharma Samrāṭ Satguru Svāmī Madhavānjī Bhagavān kī, Satya Sanātana Dharma Ṛṣi Munī Mahātmā kī jeho. Mātā Pitā Gurudeva Kī, Satya Kī Jeho. God bless you.
