So, thank you very much, children. Your program was very, very nice. Yes, thank you. Very nice bhajans, Sanskrit, and English. Perhaps tomorrow you will speak something in English, okay? Something. And now, you know, all of you—also around the world, our bhaktas, our yogīs, our sisters and brothers—they know: one of our new Swāmīs, his name is Chandrapurī, Swāmī, now his name is Swāmī Chandrapurī, and I think he will tell something about his life and how he achieved becoming a sannyāsī. It is very rare, very rare for one to achieve sannyāsa. It doesn’t matter if it is male or female. This is from many, many ages, many lives. We have been traveling through different situations, and it becomes something. And of course, now this is one of the very hard, but in this life, for everything you will come to the Brahmalokas, the highest of the highest. Not this, what we call Satyugas or Dvāparayugas, Kaliyugas, this and that. But when you become a sannyāsī and do seva, it is very, very important to achieve that in our life. That is it. So our sannyās dīkṣā—tomorrow perhaps I will tell something more. And sannyāsa means first what you get: the cloth. And this orange cloth is this way: for example, this is not a cloth, but this is my skin and my blood, that I will achieve all to come to the Brahmaloka. Like Satyugas and Satyogīs, Satṛṣis, and how the Satṛṣis and many others, they are like stars in this space. So that is a great thing. Others, some just, okay, you can learn and give lectures and this and that, everything is okay. But it has to be brought from the heart. Like Bhagavān Rāma, when Bhagavān Rāma and Sītā and all of them went into Brahmā, but Hanumānjī was there. And someone asked, “Where is your Rāma and Sītā?” He said, “It’s in my heart. Where is that? Show it.” And so, Hanumānjī opened his heart, and there was God Rāma and Sītā. That’s it. And so, after that, in the Satyuga, Dvāpara, and Tretā Yugas, after the Tretā Yuga, they are like Jesus. And Jesus was also then opening his heart, something, because this was from the Hanumanjī. He is followed by Hanumanjī. So, all then, to become a sannyāsī, now is just… and now you have to work very hard. It is very hard, sometimes very hard, sometimes beautiful, very good. But always, it is cleaning, purifying words to realize the self. But that self, there are different, many kinds of self. Somebody says, “Who is that? Yes, I am. It’s yours. Yes, it’s mine.” That is very easy. But that kernel in the heart, in that, that is something, that is a star. You will be in the star, or it will come differently inside. It is not easy to get a sannyāsī, but you have to give up many things. Yes, no attachment, no attachment. No attachment to home, parents. Now, in this Kali Yuga, they don’t worry about mother and father; that is for them. But when mother and father and brother and sisters, it is one tree, and where is the trunk of the tree? Branches, leaves, plums, and the fruits in one, that is like the father, the mother, the sisters, the brothers. And that is how it will go. And so it is that when one comes as a sannyāsī, then in another life already, that other past life—it is a past life now. But sometimes one will turn back. Then it is very difficult; it will be again. It’s not the word which I don’t want to tell, but somehow it is in our countries—what is Austria, Vienna, this, this all comes. And that we are in the, where we are, we call this, what, what, no, no, we are in, which is all we are calling this country, no, now in Asia. But the other one I’m talking about is you. So you don’t understand your country at all. Now in Europe, all this, they want to bring all countries together: Austria, New Zealand—no, not New Zealand—Czechoslovakia, Croatia, all these countries in Europe. And they want to bring Europe together. It’s not easy. And then try to come. Now, in the middle, it was not in the middle. And what happens? The British, they say, “No, we don’t, we’ve been together with the union.” So, they worked for so many years, with how many old papers and this and that, to come together and become one. And then again, no, I will not be separating. Purījī, Śrī Saṅkrāntana Purījī, Śrī Saṅkrāntana… Kumbha Mela, Kumbha Mela… What it means that you become a sannyāsī is that one star is falling in that way. Like this, you are becoming the star, going in that way. But it’s the time now. It’s not so. The dark night is still not there. When it is dark, then you will see the stars. But the darkness is not easy to stand in. Sometimes you are alone, sometimes there is nothing, sometimes they will say you are a stupid person, this and that. So, our dear Chandrapurī, Swāmī Chandrapurī, now it is the third day he is here, and now I think he will give his life, how it was. There were many stupid things; don’t tell us. Yeah, because there are so many things, but the heart, what was the heart? So, Chandrapurījī, Hari Om, come please. Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Devpurīśamadeva Kī, Mādhavānandajī Bhagavān Kī, Alakhpurījī Mahādeva Kī, Jai. Twenty minutes. Guruji, do you want to? Maybe it’s best to start with how I first met Guruji. It was 2006 when I went to Vape first with some friends. They were not Viśvagurujī’s disciples. I was also not Viśvagurujī’s disciple at that time. My mother, my matajī, had just passed away eight days ago. So I went to see Swamijī. I heard about Yoga in Daily Life. I was practicing a little bit of yoga, mostly hatha yoga, kriyās, the Śaṅkaraprakṣālana with Tiāk Purījī from Hungary. So the first time in my life, I went to a real satsaṅg, to see a real mahātmā, to have a darśan. Of course, I didn’t know much about this. In Western culture, we don’t have an opportunity to meet such saints. So I was very much ignorant and was observing what was going on there. But one thing was very significant and important. When we had āratī, we had prayer, then Viśvagurujī said we should now pray for those souls who recently passed away. So somehow this made me think, how does he know that my mother passed away a few days before? So that was my first meeting with Viśvagurujī in Vape, Hungary. And then, a few months later, we came to India to see different places with some Hungarian Guru brothers. They were already Viśvagurujī’s disciples, and in 2006, October or November, we came to Jadanaśram with the intention that we would stay here a couple of months, go back for Christmas, but we would be here and practice Karma Yoga. So I met Viśvagurujī the second time here near Gurujī’s Mahāsamādhi place. It was, I think, Holy Gurujī’s Vārṣī, Holy Gurujī’s Mahāsamādhi anniversary. There was a night satsaṅg. We arrived in the morning by bus with Thyak Purījī, who is now a karma sannyāsī. They told us that Swāmījī is near Holy Gurujī’s samādhi. So we walked there, and that’s where I actually had physical contact with Viśvagurujī for the first time, when I went there and made praṇām. Those people who are sitting here were helping me, what to do, how to remove your shoes, Śrī Śrī… Gurujī was sitting next to me on the bus, and she talked about Guru Gītā. We were singing the Guru Gītā. I didn’t know about the Guru Gītā. I didn’t understand anything, basically, about who the Guru was. So many things started to open up very quickly in me on the way to Kathu. That time, Matajī was there in Kathu. We spent one night there, or two nights, I think. We went to the Devdungarī Sanyās Āśram to Mahāprabhujī’s Mahāsamādhi to make praṇāms and spend some time there. Then, one or two days later, we went to Kailāś Āśram to Devpurījī, Devpurījī’s Āśram. And Viśvagurujī had a lecture that evening in the hall in Kailash about mantra, about the importance of the mantra. Mahāprabhujī Karatā—which are the different kinds of mantras, bīja mantras, and Gāyatrī mantra, and there are so many mantras, but the most important and the jewel of all mantras is the Guru mantra. And I was sitting there, and these words were somehow the last drops that I needed, that I had such a burning desire for that Guru mantra. So, I was very shy. I didn’t know how to go to Gurujī and ask for a mantra, so I asked Sādhvī Śāntījī if she could go and ask for me. I was really excited to hear what the answer would be, and the answer was positive. Śāntījī came back, saying that I could have my Guru mantra, and she said it would be in Jaipur the next day or two days later, on a Pūrṇimā day. On a full moon day. So, one or two days later, we went to Jaipur, and basically, I got my mantra initiation in the Jaipur Ashram. Whenever I go there, I still always go into Satyagurudarbhar, where I was actually born when I got my second birth in this body. Swamiji, Jāstrājī was there, Viśvagurujī was there, and I got my mantra initiation. And you all remember, it’s a lifetime experience when you get your mantra. Whoever is listening to this or whoever is sitting here, I don’t need to say anything about this. I think the group, Swamiji was going back to Europe. The group also went with them, with Swāmījī. So we didn’t know what we should do, and it was very clear that Gurujī said that you should go to Jadan and do karma yoga. It was very strict, actually: Go to Jadan and work and work and work. So it was very clear what I needed to do, and we arrived in Jadan, and then slowly, slowly, I got to know all these places. Siddha Purījī, Siddha Purījī… Shiv Mandir Having Āratī, suddenly I was looking at myself, that I was never so happy in my life in those days. That something that was missing from my life all the way, what I was searching for, what I should do with my life, what I should work, where I should go—I got the answers. In those days, I got the experience that this is what is meant for me: to live in an ashram. So, later I asked Viśvagurujī when he went to Europe if I could come back, too, because we didn’t go back for Christmas as we planned. We went only in February; we were supposed to go back in February with Devpurījī. So, but I have the desire to come back to Jadan to live here a longer time, because these four or five months that we were here together, I felt that this is what I should do. This is where I should stay. So Viśvagurujī said, “Yes, no problem. You can come back, talk to the Maṅgalmānījī in the office, and organize the things.” You are most welcome. You should come. No problem. So I was very happy to hear that I can come back. And basically, I should speak now a little bit about sannyās because that’s the occasion that happened three days ago, the Sannyās Dīkṣā. So, it was 2006. In 2007, there was an Allahabad Kumbha Mela where many sannyāsīs got initiated, I think six or seven, if I remember well. So, it was in January, Makara Saṅkrānti time. So, one or two months before, there were preparations for how it should be. Premanājī Mahārāj got the duty, as always, to build a camp there and Jastājī. So there were meetings on the eating veranda about how the karma yogīs should go. There should be two groups. One group should go this time, one group should go that time. And once there was a meeting for the karma yogīs, who wanted to go to which group. And the information came that one group will attend the sannyās dīkṣā. They will see the sannyās dīkṣā for all those who are having sannyās initiation. Mahāprabhujī Karatā He Kevalam. So I was very excited to see how is the Sannyās Dīkṣā, and how it is, and who is this Hungarian, and how is the Kumbha Melā. So we saw the Sannyās Dīkṣā and the Kumbha Melā, many of you were there. All those who are listening on the webcast, it was beautiful. It was very inspiring. Many great Sannyāsīs got initiated: Vivek Purījī Mahārāj, Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar Jī, Ānandījī, Gopāl Jī, Gyāneśvar Purījī, Śrī Śrī… It took fourteen years, and as Gurujī also mentioned, there are many things one has to go through or one has to experience to come to that decision to make this step. So there were many different occasions, and there were more Kumbha Melas. I can’t remember exactly, I think it was Ilāhābād 2013, when Viśvagurujī first addressed me or first told me that he said there is going to be a sannyās dīkṣā, so you should decide. And the first time, he gave me only once an orange lungi, and of course I had many excuses why I’m not ready, and obviously I was not ready. I don’t know if anybody is ever ready for this kind of initiation, but it has to happen somehow, especially when we are on the spiritual path and we are serious about it. So, actually, it somehow happened three days ago. It was a bit surprising because I thought it might be a little bit later, but somehow Viśvagurujī decided to speed it up a little bit now. So, he called one morning, there was a yajña, a fire ceremony near Māṭājī’s Mahāsamādhi place here in Jadan Ashram, at nine in the morning. So, they called me to go there. I didn’t know what the occasion was or why a yajña was being organized. I just went there, and Viśvagurujī told me to sit down, and he told me he is now going to give me a Brahmacharya Dīkṣā. So, I’m going to have a white cloth, and I should follow the rule of the Brahmacharya. So I felt that’s good, Brahmacharya is okay. I can be a brahmacārī for some months or years; that’s quite okay. I’m good with that. But then Viśvagurujī said that there is going to be a Sannyāsa Dīkṣā next morning. So I was wondering, whose Sannyāsa Dīkṣā is going to be? It was still. I was trying to—still it was not sure. But then he made it very sure that tomorrow you are going to have a Sannyāsa Dīkṣā. So, Jīhukām Vāvjī, there is only one answer, Jīhukām Vāvjī, yes Swāmījī, that is your wish, it is going to happen. It is time that it should happen. Because he knows when we are ready, he knows when we are ripe. And I’m only a three-day-old baby here. Gurujī said he just gave a cloth, but the qualities are not there yet. It’s just starting now. So we will see how it will unfold through Guru Kṛpā. But I am very, very thankful that it happened. I would like to say a few details about Sannyāsa Dīkṣā because it was a great experience. Early morning, around 5 o’clock, we came together with some Sannyāsīs who were helping me with the preparations. Viśvagurujī described the ceremonies one day before, how we should do, what we should do. So basically, the first thing we did—only a few sannyāsīs and I were there, and Śrī Purījī was also there—was that we bathed the body, or we cleaned the body, and we smeared the body with gobar, the cow dung. Mahāprabhujī Karatā, Mahāprabhujī Karatā He Kevalam. All the body is smeared with the gobar. And the next step was, this body was washed down with a mixture of gobar, gomūtra, dudh, and ghī. So, cow dung, the urine of the cow, yogurt, milk, and ghee. You all know that the cow is very sacred in India. Mahāprabhujī kī karatā, Mahāprabhujī kī karatā, Purījī, Purījī… As a brahmacārī, and then slowly, slowly, we proceeded towards the yajñaśālā, towards the yajña place. It was already 6 in the morning, and the right time according to the jyotiṣa was 6 o’clock, that we were supposed to start the ceremony. So Gulābjī was there; he was leading the ceremony. As a paṇḍit and some sannyāsīs, Premānandjī, Śrī Śrī… The Yajña ceremony with mantras, with certain rituals—you all have seen it—how the sacred fire, the offerings are done in the sacred fire, svāhā, svāhā… And then Viśvagurujī came, I can’t remember exactly what time it was, 8 o’clock, 8 o’clock approximately, and there is a special place in Jadanaśram, Nirmātājī’s samādhi, there is a banyan—yes, thank you—a banyan tree in the middle, and there are nine peepal trees all around. Both are very sacred in their symbols of Viṣṇu, Bhagavān, and Śiva. So, actually, the real initiation, the real sannyās dīkṣā for me happened under that tree. When Viśvagurujī came, and we made praṇām, and Gurujī sat under that banyan tree, and he gave the orange cloth first, and then he cut the choṭī, the śikhā. So that’s the moment, actually, when the Guru cuts the attachment to that physical body, to that physical world. I don’t actually know what really happened, because it’s only three days, but I can feel that many things happened in that moment, or in those moments, that I’m not completely aware of. It might unfold and it will be more clear for me, but I can say that that is something unique or something very important that happens there. So that was three days ago, through the blessings of Gurujī, he surrendered everything to Guru Dev. Because, basically, for me, as much as I understand about sannyāsa, this is like serving Gurujī, serving all yoga in life, family, and serving all creation. Now, bring from the kitchen a beautiful fruit. It is not a fruit. It is the head of the disciple. Yes, and he will offer everything to the Gurujī, his Guru, all money, paisa, everything that comes, to come to the Gurudev, and that, so now bring it, this, okay, yes, yes, and that we are giving to you, you bring it, you will bring it and give it to me, and very good bhajan. Bhol Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī, Chandra Purī Jī is giving all to His, our Satgurū Swāmī, Alakhpurījī, Devpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, Holy Gurujī’s, and all give His, His, all for the, oh my Gurū, Dev, Vapar, put it there, let’s put it down, and make for now blessings. Praṇām, praṇām, praṇām. Pranābḍhu, yes. Hari Om Bhol. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān, Dev Purīṣa Mahādevakī, Mādhāvanāñjī Bhagavānakī, Alakhpurījī Mahādevakī, Satya Sanātana Dharmakī, Śaṅkarācārya Bhagavānakī, Jai Om.
