Follow the path

The Satguru is the supreme reality and the sole means to liberation. The true Guru is the very form of bliss and knowledge, transcending all duality and qualities. Devotion to the Guru is the essential practice. Perform the loving worship of the Satguru. The disciple's joy depends solely on the Guru's grace. One must never abandon the Guru, for the Guru is the living Sanātana Dharma. In this age, many falsely claim to be gurus without lineage. Do not lose connection to the mother, father, and Guru. Modern exercises called yoga are not the true path. The Guru's lineage is paramount.

"Full of bliss, bestowing supreme joy, the very form of knowledge, transcending duality... To that Sadguru, I bow."

"Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalam, Śiṣye Ke Ānanda Maṅgalam. If you are a disciple of that Gurudev, then it doesn’t matter if you are the highest of the high, but for your Gurujī, you are a disciple."

Meri dosha mita dhena. Gurudev Dayā Gharke, Kurudev Dayā Gharke, I bow to you, I bow to you,... I bow to you. Thank you, very nice. Today was the best bhajan singing day, where people have seen new bhajans. And these bhajans, which you have heard from Paras and Pushpa, our Pushpa. I have so many Pushpas, you know. She spoke very nicely. She studied very much, I think, always for her bhajans. Best bhajans from many saints, very good, and not only just what we call them, only the mantra, like for example, "Śrī Rām, Jaya Rām, Jaya, Jaya Rām, Śrī Rām, Jaya Rām, Jaya Rām," it is beautiful, very good, but a long time, a long time, you know, we were in the first time in the Kumbh Melā in Prayāgrāj, yes. And there we had a beautiful, our ashram, made-to-be ashram. And beside that was another, and whole day and night with a very big loudspeaker. And we told them, "Please move to the other side," but no, no. And then Umapuri, or so many people, they went there, they took off their instrument, away again they came. It was what we call not good. Day and night, Sitaram, Sitaram,... no, not what? This Sri Ram, Sri Ram, Jai Sitaram, Sitaram, Sita Ram, Sita. Rāma, Sītā Rāma, Sītā Rāma,... Sītā Rāma. That was very nice, but other people cannot make their mantra when they were Prabhupāda, Nirañjan, Sabduk, Banjan, and there is between Sītā Rām, Sītā Rām. All many, many different mantras, so it was, it’s good. God is God, Śiva is Śiva, Amṛta is Amṛta, and Rām is Rām. Krishna is Krishna, etc., but the people should take care of others, and loudspeakers are very strong, so one has to know for others also, so that only this, all the melodies, only this is not good for... The everyone, there are bhajans. Bhajans have more power, more knowledge for learning, listening, and all senses. They are made in such a way, this kind of bhajan, that is very, very rare now. These times, people are having different kinds of bhajans. And a lot of sounds, this is that, so this bhajans, what you were hearing, was very good. I’m very happy to all of you, and we will have to learn, we will go. So, for example, now, for example, Mīrābāī. So Mīrā, Mīrābāī, she got and the Kṛṣṇa, and She also had devotion to Krishna, and she was very much suffering. No one respected her, but she was very strong and always for Krishna. And so, there were many women in that kingdom there, but all now even remembering. Mira and the voice of the Miras in the sky, in heaven, in the whole world, Mirabai’s bhajans are there. Mira is living still there, and in the same way, there are many other saints. They all were thinking and doing, giving. Bhajans and like this, guru paramparā. Now, this guru paramparā, for example, let’s say Bhagavān Rām, Rām... Ram Ram... Ram Ram... Ram Ram... Ram Ram... in each and every hair, here also, here also... the whole body. In the body, there is a Rāma in each and every hair. It is that Rāma. Then, in his skin, and you know that when God Rāma and Sītā and Hanumānjī and all, they came from Śrī Laṅkā to India again, and there came Bhagavān Rāma in his palace and all. Coming together, sitting, and Bhagavān Rāma was giving some lecture, so they all people were singing something or like this. So Sītā and Rāma are sitting, Lakṣmaṇa is standing on one side and others, and Hanumānjī is sitting near Bhagavān Rāma’s holy feet. Bhagavān Rāma is looking at Hanumān, and Hanumānjī is looking at Hanumānjī’s holy foot. And all the times, he was always, "Ram, Ram..." All the time, Sītā is sitting also there. Now, what is happening? That Hanumānjī is chanting the name of Rām without stopping, with both side exhalation and inhalation. Rām Rām... Too much V, because Rāma has very, very sweet, good bhakti, but why is he looking always there, and not to my side? So she’s thinking, Sītā is thinking, only thinking. This is a human’s life. Everybody is here sitting, but someone all the time has the thinking of someone. You don’t want to see, but it is there, always going there. So Sita was thinking, thinking. Bhagavān Rāma, he knows that, everything. So Bhagavān Rāma, he leaned a little bit towards Hanumān, And he took one hair from the ear of Hanumanjī, like this. And holding this, then one hair, and in ears to the Sītā. And Sītā was surprised, "What is he doing here?" And he brought one hair of Hanumanjī, and he wrote this. And this one hair of Hanumanjī is Bhagavān Rāma. He took from his right hand, took the hair to the left side and to Sita’s ear. And what Sita said, "What’s happening?" And there, in that one tiny hair in the ear of the Bhagavad Gītā, Sita, and there is sound in that one hair, "Rām, Rām..." Rām, Rām,... Then he said, Sita said, "I understand now, this hair." Ram said, "This hair is for you, because Hanumānjī loves you very much, Sītā. Hanumānjī loves Sītā very much also, like a mother of the mother, and in that way." And what happens sometimes? The Bhagavān Rāma Sitting, Hanumanjī is there, and suddenly what happens? That Hanumanjī has to say something, something like this. Then what is he doing? Like this, "Oh yes," hearing from his mouth. But that time he said, "Rām, Rām..." So, this sound is Rām, and you will see many, many bhaktas of Rām who say that whenever they have to do something, they say it like this. And other people say, "What are you doing now? You will..." Say, "Hey, we are having a lecture," but he will say, "Rāmjī said, ’Rām.’" Why? Because I don’t want to give a second distance from my Gurudev, my Bhagavān, my Rām. I don’t want that little bit. I can go away from him. Doesn’t matter how I am, how I did, but I know that Bhagavān Rāma. And you know how Hanumānjī was running here and there, and he was suffering many things and came to Laṅkā and all this. You know, everybody, and then he said, "What happens now?" So Bhagavān Rāma, when all this he did his job, he said, "Now I go." Bhagavān Rāma, Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa also, all have to go. So there is a river, a beautiful river. What is the name of the river? Sarayu, and in that river, Bhagavān Rām is going. In the river, Sītā is going, Lakṣmaṇ is going, all four brothers, they are going. Five, and all had bhaktas going with him, but Hanumānjī is coming, and Bhagavān Rām said, "Hanumān, you will not go." In the river, he said, "Why? Because I give you the duty that you will protect all the bhaktas of God. You will be here." And therefore, it is said that still Hanumān is living, but you don’t know how it is that there are. In these Kali Yugas, they don’t understand anything. They are like that. So, in the same way, Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalam, Śiṣye Ke Ānanda Maṅgalam. If you are a disciple of that Gurudev, then it doesn’t matter if you are the highest of the high, but for your Gurujī, you are a disciple. Doesn’t matter if you are a prime minister’s prime minister, or you are a professor of the professors, or you have the king of the king. But though you are a king, or the mother of your child is your child, the president of that country, his mother will die. He is the president of the countries. He will also be giving tears from the ear and said, "My mother died," and he or she goes to the funeral. That is that guru. And if you will leave your gurus, then it means you are... There is one other story. So that one monkey was there, and he thought he was a Hanumān, but he was not a Hanumān. And he was sitting there, and he’s sitting there. Then he will go there, he will go there, he will... Holy Gurujī was giving such beautiful lectures, you cannot advise him. But while speaking, When Holy Gurujī came to Mahāprabhujī’s name, Devapurījī’s Gurujī has tears in his eyes. So, Bhagavān, Śaṅkar Bhagavān, Śiva, Alak Purījīs, Dev Purījīs, Mahāprabhujī, Satguru Swami Madhavānandjī Bhagavān, and now we, our sanyāsīs, Who gave it in my hand? But it doesn’t matter who is who; it is yours. Follow the path, otherwise you are gone. There are many Christians, they are there and there, but they hold it to Jesus, yes. Muslims, Allah, they have hold it in such a way, doesn’t matter how it is, they will fight each other. But when something harms comes their way, they are in the oneness. Guru Kṛpā Hi Ke Vīlāṁ Śiṣye Ke Ānanda Maṅgalam. Therefore, Holy Gurujī always said that Gurudev, Gurudev, everything is there, but don’t go hand up. Will you step on your Gurujī? Will you sit on the head of the bed of the Gurujī, on the Gurujī’s chair? Will you speak something like that against? Doesn’t matter what it is that is called Sanātana Dharma. Sanātana Dharma, Sanātana, Sanātana is the Guru Paramparā. Now in Kali Yuga, there are many, many people who became themselves as, "I am a Guru." But from where did you born? Which mother you had? Your mother, but you don’t know. Even that one, how do you know? Your gurus, and you don’t want to say, "My guru." "I am the guru." Yes, you can be, doesn’t matter, but it will not be the path till there. Therefore, Satya Sanātana Dharma or Satya Sanātana. Dharma is a living being, and therefore this Satya Sanātan Hindu Dharma means the living. We are all living people; others are not anymore. They will die. Hurry up, you will not come like that. They will say, "Okay, go to heaven," or the... Hell, finish there. There are two, then we can come. Doesn’t matter if you become a professor of the professors of universities, and you are further very good, no problem, very nice. But your mother, don’t lose, please don’t lose your mother. And when you lost or throw away your mother or something, then you are nothing. Your father, you don’t know nothing. And if there, your guru, you said, "Hold it," then all is one. So those who are, they are coming like the honey bee. Where all the honey bees in the honey, that’s it. Will you, will you throw it out? What will the bees do? But all bees are very busy and lacking, and they all have one queen there, one queen. And what is the queen doing? She is giving all the time, all the time. So we have to put something. Yoga is, what you are doing is, this is not anymore yoga. In our world, they are doing yoga, but it is not yoga. It’s exercises. In such kinds of exercises, they are calling it yoga, and they are becoming all that, they are guru. There will be beautiful stories, Guruji said, "Tomorrow, tell me, I will tell you." They are long stories, very nice. But don’t forget, yeah? Yeah, it is about Liyāmḍī. You know that one? A fox, a little fox. Ah, there was a very good story. Yes. And he becomes a maguru, mahā. Then comes the māguru, the other guru. Then he tries to... That’s a beautiful story, a very nice story. Also, I have heard when I was about five years old, four years old, and when I was in Gurujī, he told me exactly how it is. I’ve forgotten, but I will remember tomorrow. Tell me, remind me, okay? Śrī Guru, Ātmā, Paramātmā, Ho, Matmā, Puruṣa, Tamah, Sakal Jag Ke Antra Jāmī. Charachar kī ātmā Prabhu, chara chara kī ātmā Mahātma Kuru Shotama Prabhu, Mahātma Kuru Shotama Sakhala jagake yantra jami Chara chara kī ātmā Prabhu, chara chara kī ātmā. Ātmā paramātmā ho mātmā puruṣottama, ātmā puruṣottama sakal jag ke ant jami, charā charā kī āmā prabhu charā charā kī ātmā. Mahātma, Śrotama, Sakala Jagake, Aṅkhajamī, Cāracaraki Ātmā, Prabhu Cāracaraki Ātmā, Kāragurasi Bhavadukasetāri Ātmā, Prabhu Bhavadukasetāri Ātmā, Śiva Nañjībole Ārati Gurudeva Nirguṇa Śrī Guru Ātmā Paramātmā. Oṁ Ātmā Puruṣottama Bhātmā Sakala Jagake Yantra Yāmī Cara Carkī Ātmā Prabhu Cara Carkī Ātmā Bolī Śatguru Svāmī. So you see what means a guru? Understand the Austrians, they are waiting for me because they are listening to me also. The lecture is for them. After the Austrian will be Austrian, and they will be, but they are all happy there because they... Are you running quickly? They are still coming there. They have the afternoon, so don’t worry. And if they are in a hurry, then go home. Bye, bye. Maybe till tomorrow I will let you waiting, so don’t call like this. Somebody in lecture, don’t call, okay? Yeah, when Holy Gurujī said bhajan or lecture, once Śaṅkarācārya was there, and Gurujī was two hours. Yes, Guru. He’s the Guru, so Satguru. We have to, you know, the street is very nice, like so that, don’t forget, don’t forget your mother, don’t forget your father, maybe your second father or second father, but they are not real fathers. Your mother, your father, and your guru. It is that. Don’t lose it. When you lose it, then it’s not anymore. Loss is... So lose it, or yeah, that’s why. Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī, Devādidev Deveśvar Mahādev Kī, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandjī. Now, all go to your room, wash your hands two times. You, my age, don’t go. I have seen, I have seen it, and I’m talking internationally. Do not go out. I’m telling the people, they hear. People, they are from other countries. I tell many times, don’t go immediately to other houses, other flats. You go to the ashram, and Gurujī said that one, and again you are going there, he is going there, then he is going, that’s finished, yes. And he’s... I, I know, I’m hearing. I don’t tell you where is my machine in all rooms, yes, I know. And if you want, I can give. Hari Om Deep Narayan Bhagwan. My dear all brothers and sisters in Austria, Germany, and other countries, round by sing bhajans. I will join with you after about 20 minutes. Hari Om Deep Narayana Bhagwan Ki Jai.
