Hari Om! A beautiful day! What a good day! Yes, we are returning more and more to the color of our yoga dress. If someone is not, then it is some sport. So we should always have our yoga dress. And what color would you like? White? I will not tell you, but if we can all have it like this, then we are all Swāmījīs. Or yellow. What would you like? Which color? Red? Okay, that's fine. As you like. And why don't we tell Mahāprabhujī, "No more corona here?" Yes, that is when we have gone. Is there no picture? Okay. Well, the day is very beautiful, but it is a day of departure, for we go home again tomorrow or the day after. It was a great day with many programs and evenings. In the last two, three, four years or so, we did not organize such a nice program. Many people were waiting, and all of us together made this program—the Anuṣṭhāna. And in the Anuṣṭhāna, do they practice? I forgot to speak about this. This is about Kriyā, Kriyā Śakti, Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna. This Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna was very prevalent, but many people slowly, slowly gave it up. So we have to return to it. The kind of sādhanā we have, Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna, we simply called it Anuṣṭhāna without specifying 'Kriyā'. So, how many of you here are Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna practitioners? Hands up. Good. Thank you. So, almost all of you are from the Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna—Kriyā Sādhana. Kriyā Sādhana and Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna are a truth. This Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna should perhaps be practiced throughout the whole year; it means every day. Many of our yoga teachers practice, but now two coronas, and I think three years have passed, I did not give the Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna. Because in some other countries, people said, "Yes, we want to have Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna or Kriyā," and even though I tell them, "On the day you give up Guru Kṛpā, all sādhanā will be gone," these people took the Kriyā and after one or two years they were gone. They set themselves up as great masters and gave the Kriyā. And what happened to them? Everything was destroyed—their whole spirituality. Therefore, I think I held back. I did not speak much about this, our Kriyā. This is our Kriyā from Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī. Devpurījī is very great, but I cannot talk to him. If I tell Devapurījī, I do not know what he will say or do. He is a Shiva. When Devapurījī gave darśan, I was a little bit like this. But he is very humble, very kind. I did not want to tell; I told nobody. But as Holī Gurujī said, it is your energy or whatever is in Devpurījī. Still, I said beforehand, not like this, but wholly like this: Guru Kṛpā—to receive the Guru's grace is not easy. We are always like, "Today we will have coffee," tomorrow we say "Coca-Cola," then we say "Chai," and then alcohol, and so on. To become a disciple is not easy, not easy, not easy. When I myself think that if I am doing something not good to Gurujī or anything, then I am lost, I die, I died. It is like this: we have here a light, a burning flame. A very strong wind is blowing, and you have to take this flame to another house. It is a dark night with no other lights, and we have to go there. How will we protect this flame and reach the other house? The wind blows very strong here and there. Similarly, we are also on that path of God, supreme, highest, and we are now walking on that path. Which is that path? In some bhajans, a saint made a bhajan, and they say this is the path of, like, some instrument very far. What is it? On a sharp knife; on the left side is water and fish; on the other side are cobras and crocodiles, and there is one knife there. From this house to that house... walk on that knife... and hold the flame... and wind. Will you reach there? That is everyone. You can say Kṛṣṇa, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Jesus—all of them. How was their life? Jesus's life, how was it? But he was, and he went through. And we all, in the whole world, how many pray to God, Jesus, so many great saints. It was not easy. Kṛṣṇa, Bhagavān Deva, Bhagavān Brahmā, Viṣṇu, everything. Bhagavān Rāma, how did Rāma go through? How did Kṛṣṇa go through? So if they were such, who are we? But these Gods said to us, "My Bhaktas, go on this path. I will help you." You got the path, but now you have to become very peaceful, harmonious, and balanced. We will reach there. So, the more sādhanā we do, this is the knife. Sādhanā is like a knife. And if we are in the sādhanā, humanity has said many, many things: what to eat, what to drink, what to speak, what to do, what to feel, what to wear, how to speak to others, etc. You know, many, all religions have their temples—different kinds of religions with their beautiful temples. Some call it a temple, some call it something else. You know that Muslims also have very beautiful mosques, and inside, how clean it is. Before you enter their mosque, everyone must wash their hands and feet. And what are we doing? We say, "It doesn't matter; mother and father will clean, we are children." So, in many, many things, and in others also... When we want to learn something, we begin from the beginning until university. Okay, we know how to write and speak, okay. It's not okay. For example, I was with one doctor. The doctor went immediately to perform an operation—a heart operation. He quickly came to his operating place, prepared everything, and how he served that life—very nice. He cuts this part, does this, that part. Many nurses were beside him, but they could not do it. Only that one who could. This is also like a spiritual path. Yes. When we are driving a car, if the driver is good, he will go very peacefully. Others try to go very quickly, flying. Sometimes we should go about 130 km per hour, but we go at least 140. Yes, sometimes 40-50 km per hour, but now all instruments are there. But the doctor will not do like this; he goes very, very carefully. This is also like a guru, yes? Similarly, we are students, and we have to be like that, very careful to learn everything. Then we are successful. Otherwise, many of us are just okay, no problem. That is very nice. And so our Kriyānuṣṭhāna, Kriyānuṣṭhāna is something given into your hands, and you should do it. Can you imagine, when a doctor is performing a heart operation or inside the body, and there are three or four nurses, will that doctor tell the nurses, "Here is a knife, you work. I am just drinking Coca-Cola"? This is a... yes, Dr. Sa, who is a very great, perfect doctor, has good nurses. And then he says, "You perform the operation, I am just drinking coffee." Neither the doctor nor the nurses can save the dying person. No doctor does like that. All doctors are present, and sometimes some nurses or some instruments, a little, they leave it inside the body. Similarly, when a spiritual, genuine guru from the guru paramparā takes this Kriyā Śakti and Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna, only that can be done. Others will say, "I have learned," and they go and teach. There is nothing. And so, many people run or turn, they say, "We will do everything," even though they don't have a yoga center now. Or they give up, confused. And now they will become more completely confused and gone. So, you have all the Kriyā now. But do not think that you will give the Kriyā to others. It will always be the doctor. Or, there is another thing: whether we can or not. In that way, we should become perfect. But what if I give you another example? I have my country, India, and I have my passport—an Indian passport. I can go anywhere, but other countries should give me permission or not. I come from India. So whatever I do here, still I cannot do many of these things because it is your country and I am from another country. Okay, sometimes it also happens in many countries that people make a passport, but not a real one. Many people did like this, but sooner or later, they will go into a little kamrā, a little room. What does that little room mean? You can only move inside. Your country is a very big country. But why does this one have only a little kamrā? Because this is not their real passport. Similarly, in many things we can say that now you think, "I am a guru and I am a teacher, and I will teach everything." Certain exercises are okay: yoga practice, āsanas, prāṇāyāmas—these things are okay. But when we come to, let's say, Kriyā Sādhanā, and how it will proceed there... Therefore, yoga is not only āsanas and prāṇāyāmas, these little things. There are many, many sādhanās, many techniques that you will see in many temples and from many masters. And some still only think they are a master, but they are not. So, many of you are doing your sādhanā. Those who have this sādhanā understand. This Kriyā Śakti was given by Gurujī, Swāmījī, or me. Others also gave it to me. You can give techniques to each other, but do not give techniques to one who has not received the blessings of that real Gurujī. If someone says otherwise, and afterwards they go and think, "I am a guru already," it will not work. If you want to bring something beautiful and tasteful to eat into the mouth, and a very beautiful, nicely colored stone that can be bitten in our mouth, that will not function. But even one cherry you can eat; it goes into the mouth and into the whole nervous system and everywhere in the body. That is the technique, that's everything. So who places it in your hand? Who gives it into your hand? What you have been given in that hand, and how to handle it. So I am very happy that you are very comfortable, very relaxed, and from a far distance, but you have been for many, many years, and you are doing your sādhanā. Do not say this person is not good and this person has done something. They are nothing. Whatever we have done, the body will burn down. But the qualities inside—that is the best. So, whatever someone told you, do this, do that, this is just nothing, it's dust. Our selves, our essence, our best—that is what we are knowing, all this. And in that way, how we are... I see you because this group... Now, when I saw this, our dress, everybody's dress, nobody is naked. But when the Gurudev said and gave this as our colour... Understand that, but of course, colour is nothing and dress is nothing. You already had colour when you were born—the colour of your skin. And many things are said, oh, in this colour, what happens now, yes? The man is very dangerous and very angry, and like this. It's another colour on the screen. So our real dress is our skin. The second is that, because so many and so... So we need the passport. And so our passport, our yoga passport, is our dress. And it's not like red or black or something like this. It's very simple, very good. And it has more from the whole body, and from visions, and hands, and heart. It's a very good insight. I asked for nearly one year, asking everyone, "Is this colour okay? Is it okay?" 99% everybody said yes and yes and yes. And they feel it themselves when it is inside—Kriyā Śakti. Kriyā and Śakti, that is a Śakti. Yes, it can be thin or a little strong, thick; it's okay. When there's snow and that, we have to take others. But in our sādhanā, in sitting, we are sitting there—all yoga in daily life. That's it. So, it is very nice and very good, this practice, and we learn. So, in this hour, Kriyā... Kriyā means to do something. Kriyā. So, whatever you do is Kriyā. Anything you are doing, you have done, and this is also done—Kriyā. So Kriyā has many names, and it means many things, and Kriyā is movement. So, kriyā also means this movement. When we are cleaning something, it's also kriyā. When we cut a stone, it is also kriyā. Or we are cooking something, it's kriyā. When you make a mālā, it's kriyā. Āsanas kriyā—everything we do is with our sādhanā. So in this kriyā, we have to make purification and to know exactly how it is. So that's why we are here, and that is why we are here.
