Protect Mother Earth

Caring for Mother Earth and the soul is the urgent call, as humans have destroyed the nurturing body of the Earth.

Yoga and daily life are present everywhere, even in the dreams of those sleeping. In this time, there is disease, wars, and heavy ocean waves. Humans have broken Mother Earth, extracting petrol, coal, breaking the Himalayas. Mother Earth gives life, holding all, providing light and air. She feeds every creature, from ant to elephant. If life is lost, it cannot be recreated; the creation of eyes is perfect. Humans are ill because they do not live properly. The Mother is humble, but children try to kill her; Kali Yuga worsens. So pray to Mother Earth: "All creatures are your children; we will not kill them but help and love them." Repeat the mantra whenever aware, as the Guru gave. There is coming darkness, yet remain happy, or the inner self dies. Let the inner flame of light and joy remain. Every kernel of food is sacred; wasting it is a sin. Water is life; discarding it carelessly is like throwing away life. Ancestors honored even a fallen seed; modern generations waste copiously. Engage in bhajans, divine energy, and maintain joy.

"We should protect our earth. Mother Earth is giving everyone everything."

"That seed is God, is your father. Sin to destroy the food."

Good evening, all sisters and brothers. Yoga and daily life are present around the whole world, even in the dreams of those who are sleeping. Some are sleeping now, like in Australia, Fiji, and so on, and we often say, “We are sleeping.” They are seeing, but they are dreaming something about what we are singing or not—not exactly the same thing, yet they are there. Some are in other countries, America, also Europe. Many are at their jobs, and some are at home, but they are all thinking about this. Why am I telling you this? In this situation, in this year, there is not only Corona; in many parts there are even people beginning to have a war. And near the ocean, again, the waves are coming very heavily. So this is what is always in my mind, in my thinking. I know that we have lost, we have destroyed our earth, Mother Earth; we are breaking the body of Mother Earth, taking all the petrol, coal, and so on from different countries. Some countries have only sand, and there they are also dealing with something. Or, like the Himalayas, the great mountains, they are breaking. This means, if we are spiritual, if we understood what life is, where life is, how we live happily, healthily, and everything—from what? Not from mother or father, but from that real Mother Earth. She is giving to us, she is holding us, and also as a father, the light, the air, etc. We keep dealing and dealing, and we think we will go to the moon or somewhere. Will we all go there? The moon is not so big. Our earth is very big. The ṛṣis and all, in other countries, some spiritual people or the godly, they knew: we should protect our earth. Mother Earth is giving everyone everything. It is said, from the little ant to the elephant, who is feeding them? Not we; Mother Earth. How many ants? And many others also—it is the Earth that is giving. And from the humans or the elephants, etc., we are living from this. If we live, we are lost. We lost our food, what we are doing. We do not live properly, and that is why we are always ill. Bones are not good, stomach is not good, spine is not good, legs are not good, eyes are not good now. Who was doing this? Giving us Mother Earth? But still, the mother is very humble, because she says, “It is my children.” But now they are trying to kill the mother too. And that is the time now. We don’t know what kind of, if it goes, everything—how many ages and ages ago God created something. Many, many creatures were created very nicely. And when this is gone, it’s not easy to bring a little ant, or a fish, or the birds, everything, the humans, animals. It is not easy to create again. It is not easy to create this. How have you done it, God, Mother? How nicely they gave us two eyes. What do you think if they had given the eyes one on that side and one on this side, or on the back side, or one up and one down? Exactly how God created it is what has been done. And when one eye is bigger and the other is small, we go to the doctors and we ask what we should do and learn this. But still, we don’t know. Now we are lost. Before, people were very, very correct. They knew, and they respected. But now the humans, they are trying to do something. Though we know we are making medicine and this and that, everything, and doctors, they are very good, working and repairing also our body again, but how long? Therefore, we should do, we should begin now, sitting on Mother Earth. We should come and give to Mother Earth and tell Mother Earth, “All creatures are your children, Mother. We will not kill them. We will help them, help them to happiness, love them, feed them, but do not kill them.” It is like this. So now this, it began, now one year, more than one year, this has begun in this Kali Yuga, and it will become more and more. We pray, we pray, and we will always be, we will go with our Mother Earth anywhere, in Europe, in America, in Australia, in all these many countries. We can go free, how we were. All we humans were so good, and we were going on holidays from this country and that country. That nice water, that’s good oceans, that’s good forest, and we are going so happily everywhere. And now, suddenly, breaking us, breaking. Yes, we are sitting here in India, and we are going now to another country. How we will come now, how we are coming, is happening now. We are far or very close. That’s it. But it is said that even if I die somewhere in the cosmos, I will die. Yes, I will die. And I will die, what? O my Mother Earth, my Mother Earth, we shall pray now. We shall begin in this one and a half, or let’s say already two years, and we shall do more sādhanā and praṇām, mantra. Mahāprabhujī’s, what have done, said, all in our books, is always written. Everything for that which I am telling. Whenever you are aware, repeat your mantra. We, our Mother Earth, Gurudev, Gurudev has given us this. Yes, it’s a dark night, a coming darkness. Still, many, many things will be. But we are happy, we should be happy. Don’t say, “Oh, we are, we are, oh my God, how bad we will do.” No, no,... happy, happy,... still live happy, peaceful. We know that it is difficult, but still, otherwise, the inner Self will die. The inner self will die, and then that which has died is gone. So, in our body, in our self, in our mind, in our consciousness—everything—let it be inside the beautiful flame of light and joy. So let’s come today now, nice bhajans. Please, my dears, and please happily, live happily. We know there is not good somewhere, but we shall give the happiness to them, that their ātmā, their soul, then again Mother Earth will come again back. So, you should do what we can do, yeah? What we are doing to our earth, whatever we are cooking, how we are bringing it, many things we throw out. Okay, we are giving our cows, our animals. But I can tell you, when I was in my country, my father, my mother, I was a little boy. When my father looked somewhere, little, the corn of the, they would take it and say it, and eat it, not put it on the foot, under this and that, or to the birds, that was it. And how they were eating. Look at the plate. How much they are leaving and throwing out, yes? Every day I see one person sitting with me, and I see he cannot, he cannot completely, nicely, until he takes it. And that is sin. Aṇḍa. Aṇḍa means all seeds. Deva means God. That seed is God, is your father, yes. Oil, butter, everything—this, how much? This mother earth, and the grass, and these cows, and so they are creating. How long will it take? And we will just destroy it. That is a sin. Sin to destroy the food. Therefore, people don’t know. Many of their parents did not teach them. Also, you know, in Europe, when I was there, how was the bread and this and that? They said something, I’ve forgotten, what is it? Bread is the... what is that? God. When we go to some countries, like the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and others, they offer us bread and salt. When the guest is coming, our first friend who comes from there, then they are standing at the door, and others come with the bread, salt, and water. So, they offer them bread, because bread is life, and salt is the earth, and water is life also. Jag Jahā Jagadīś, where there is water, there is God. Jal jahā jagadīś, jahā pānī, vā bhagavān. And now we are throwing the water there; we are throwing so much. How much water are we putting on our land, and then it’s gone. In some countries, some countries, ocean, okay, you can put yourself inside, no problem. But life, now they say, and now they said, use it and throw it. Use and throw it. You get a child and you throw your child away. Yeah, to throw away your water, or your food, or your child. Jal jahā jagadīś, boda jīvot, water is life, living. Now, all of this, yes, they are great. They have learned many things, made many signs, died, and been biased, but for what? And if then it’s okay, but they create more negative things and not so positive, good things. Yes, now you know, the humans, no human is living without anybody. They know all, they can kill all at once. Why? That is distraction. And that’s why Satyuga, Dvāparayuga, Tretāyuga, and Kaliyuga are that now. And in Kali Yuga, it will be very, very. So don’t worry, but it will be. Many will, many will. Don’t think that now I’m happy in joy. The joy is a joy, or enjoy is not a joy, but that is different. Okay? So let’s have a little bhajan. We will think tomorrow once more. So please, each and every kernel of the food, all corn, everything, take it and sow it. When an ant is taking, yes, let her go, but don’t take it and dirt. And every day, how much do you throw away? They are going to clean everybody’s plate, your plate. Ask yourself, one day when you are eating and cleaning your plate, how much oil or something is going out? You’ve seen that we’re making this hole again back, the hole for that. How so much oil? Why? Why is there so much oil you are throwing? How much vegetables, and this, and everything, yes? Oil is oil. Ghee is ghee. But you take a little bit and then you throw it away. And all you cannot clean, and then the soap and this, and again. You see how much is in looking? I can see you, I can show you. That’s it. And this is not, I’m telling you, my dear, they are all people. Because there was a time that humans knew, the time has come now; a hundred years have gone. There was nothing to eat. My grandfathers, they said, my grandfathers’ grandfathers, that they were going and bringing to some trees, taking the bark and drying and cutting it and making it like a soup and drinking it. Yes, you can ask Lakṣmaṇjī. Lakṣmaṇ Singh, he will know. Yes. Mahāprabhujī Karatā Mahāprabhujī Karatā Mahāprabhujī. This generation doesn’t know anything: what is life, what is food, and what is fat, butter, or this and that, yeah? And the people are making so many animals, cows and so on, and they are giving too much, and throwing this, killing that in this. Humans are doing this. Oh human, there you will see one day, then you will, nothing is bad. Day has come. My dear, day has come, I tell you. Eh, Maheśvarānanda, what you taught today, you will see very soon. Swamījī taught me this, so we should pray here. We should, our food first is the food. Śaṅkara? Annapūrṇe. You know that? Annapūrṇe sadā. Come here, boy. You will, yes, vote. That’s very good. Hey, don’t go. Dude, come here. Brahma mārpaḍaṁ Brahma vīrubhaṁbhavanāya Brahma rahutaṁ Brahma eva tena gantavyaṁ Brahma karma samādhinām. Pūrṇamadaḥ pūrṇamidaṁ pūrṇāt pūrṇamudacyate. Pūrṇasya pūrṇamādāya pūrṇamevāvaśiṣyate. Mahāprabhujī kī jaya, Mahāprabhujī kī jaya, he kevalaṁ dīpa, Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān kī jaya. Thank you, very nice, good bhajans, and we enjoyed everyone. Bhata, enjoy it, enjoy, that is good. What? Gurū Bhagavān in his mouth, what Gurudev gives the mantra or bhajan, and we are now learning, singing, hearing, this is for us divine. Divine energy for us. Every day, the same bhajan, the same voice. That’s it. Sabda. Tomorrow. Today is very late. So, beautiful, yeah? Thank you. Hari Om, Good Night, Hari Om, Dīp Nār Bhagavān, Devpurījī Mahādeva, Satguru Swāmī Madhavānandjī Bhagavān, Alakhpurījī Mahādeva.

Mahāprabhudīp Karatā, Mahāprabhudīp Karatā He Kevalam, Mahāprabhudīp Karatā.
