Jaya to Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, the God of Gods. Jaya to Devapurīśa Mahādeva. Jaya to Bhagavān Śrī Mahāprabhujī. Jaya to our holy Gurujī. Jaya to Alakpurījī. Jaya to our mothers and fathers. Jaya to our brothers and sisters. And we offer jaya to all great saints and to the whole world. To Mother Earth, the ocean, the waters, the forests, and all upon our Earth, we should, for at least a minute or half a minute if we can, offer positive words. One minute is, of course, very good. Two minutes is also good. Five minutes is very, very good for making a mālā for all. Yes, you have your mālā, and you have received the mantra. Three people wanted to have a mantra, and I told them, "I will go to my place, and then I will give you the mantra." You know, many times, I cannot give the mantra. This is your mantra, that is your mālā. Give the donation, hurry home, and sit down. So we should do things properly. For our body, our mind, our whole life, our entire being, it is purification. That is why we always give the mantra. It is not only the words of the mantra; these are not merely words. We have to purify ourselves completely during the mantra. In every country, in every religion—in Christianity, they put the little child in the water. The Muslims also have many, many ceremonies for the boy, for the girl, and all others. Hindus also. Yogis also, because this is a ceremony. Ceremony means to be completely cleaned. It gives purity to your whole body. It becomes male and female. Why are they? It is not only that you come together, only take the socks... Socks or the sex? Six, what is that, socks? The socks, you know. It may be, how long? Five days, ten days? Two months or one year? And the fighting begins. Yes, only a few days. Then she says, "You should do it, and then you should do it," and I said, "Oh, I know many, many." I have seen many things. I had my good friends, boys from my schools, after the schools. They were not married, and I was not married either. We were young boys. But then I saw that one of my friends, who was about five years older and was married, was happy. After ten months, our friend said, "I think I should not have married." Really? It’s not a joke? Yes, very, very much. And then he said, "I was so happy, I was powerful, I had energies. My mother, my father, I was working a little bit, but my wife is now completely everything up and down." Yes, you know that. And similarly for the girls. The girls, they are always thinking and praying to God, really, really. And you know, there are four months, different days in the time where the girls are making prayers to the trees. They are making pūjā for the banyan tree. People, the ladies, they are making this also. Yes, it was just, the month is gone, behind. Really, really. You can go, these trees in India, you will see everywhere, they are like a friend in my heart. The prayer—so in villages, little villages, big cities... the city is a pity. There is nothing. So that is that year, that is the year with this month, I think this month is gone. And at that time, we release all young girls who are not married till now. They all come together, they make very nice dresses, nice tilaks, and they bring some water and many things, everybody. And these girls, all ten, twenty, fifty, five, different, from the house to the banyan tree, they are singing bhajans, bhajans or songs, good songs, very good singing. Mostly for the mother and father, and husbands, and like this. But I don’t know who it will be, but they say to this tree: "Please give me a good boy, a good husband. I will serve him. My highest law is that it will be harmonious and peaceful. Beautiful husband, but inside, heart, peace." Boys don’t go there. They go for hockey. And they say, "Why? Everything will do, my wife." But they are thinking very, very much. But they don’t dare to say to the parents, "Please give me a very nice girl." Why do you say it like this? Your father and your mother will give a chip this side and that side. And now, go on with everything. So, then coming from the Jyotiṣ, and the Jyotiṣ tells, he will find which is the real, your good, your wife or your husband. It is a thousand percent. If you can wait and pray, do pūjā, and then, of course, your parents will choose a very good person, a boy or a girl for a wife. And that is from the generation of this family. They have those pūjās and everything. They also, their fathers and mothers, they said, "My son, I want to have the best, very good, a good wife or girl that is beautiful, everything, and humble. It comes at home, not fighting, anything, that we need to have." And it is like that, because the love is in the heart. That it is. Then, children, parents... In some countries, many countries, you are not doing anymore. In India, there are some people who give millions of money for the girls. From there, for the boy to get the boy. So, parents are working, working for the girls, that they will get a good husband, good parents, very good, and it will be, and it is. But now in the schools and colleges, I put always black, black. I can’t see who is doing what they are doing. Yes, but I have seen now very much in our Europeans, really, really... I found the old boys and girls, they are really searching for that which is good and would be half good person, a good person. They come to know what it is now. So it is said, you should pray. You worship every twelve months. In every month, there is something. We are making some kind of festival. And what is searching for that? When the child, when the girl is born, they are very happy, but they know, "Now we have to get money, a lot." Yes. And when boys, boys, how to say, are born, then they say, "Oh, we are good. We will have a very nice girl who will work in our house and also give us money." Because they give all money, so much money, and this and that, everything. And send him to that home. It means now they don’t have any property there. They will take money from the property. Everything. And therefore, the ladies or girls, they don’t ask anymore for my parents’ money or anything; it is not mine anymore, because my parents give me more than all this. But now it is said in India, in government, it is said nobody should give money for marriage. No, no. And when many people come there for the seminar, they are marrying. Then these people who are coming there give the money. Not that one man whose daughter is marrying. Otherwise, the government will not sit like this. Block it. But they are saying the other way: I give my dress, my daughter, and I can give my gold and my... like this. Now, it is called, "Who likes, I can marry." Our government said, "If you give the marriage from the high class," they said, and the other one, if they marry together, the government gives them 5,000 or however much money and everything, and lets them get married. Nobody can say no. So they marry, they get money, and after two years, they go away. The money is gone. So this is many things; this happens in whole villages. Every country, whole countries. So, Croatian people, is this all? Is it different? Slovakia is different. Croatia is different. Yes. Italian is different. So remain in that. Remain in that, your final, your families, your city, your country. You understand how you are doing. Singing, singing, that, this, everybody. We know everybody has festivals, very nice. But now it’s only what is making something, only what they call the dancing and this and that. Maybe happiness, sitting, it is. But now they go to, I don’t know what is that, drinking and what is that. Husband and wife, they married, and after two days they go to somewhere dancing, alcohol, and they are all going like this. That’s not a life. Live the life peace, harmonies. Everyone, you are good, not only my country. And in my country, you know, at least 150. Different kinds of life are like a language in everything. I can speak only two languages in India: Hindi and Gujarati. That’s all. Or someone that I may understand two words, for example, Czech and Slovak. They have a difference, talk a little bit, no? And two differences, they said: Croatians and Slovenians. They said, "We can’t listen, we don’t know what." And when it was Yugoslavia, nobody said it is different. Yes. Yes or no? There was only language, mostly the Croatian language. But they said now, Slovenia, and there is a different one, yes. So it is like this for us, but what is like this? If we have good food, then we will eat. And if there is not good food, I will not eat for one day, why not? Yes. Similarly, if we don’t get that which we need, okay, one life, I will stay alone. But I will not suffer in life. So, because you are married, it’s only for sometimes, but whole life you are like a husband and wife becomes like a mother and father. He always said, "Mommy, mommy, who? The dog, his husband." Because it’s life to be, in every way, to be happy, peaceful, helping. Like this, that is that. So that is how we should live. I know that many, many boys are always telling me many things. They say, "Swamiji, it’s okay. When I will have good, exactly good persons, peaceful and like that, then I will marry. Otherwise, I don’t want." And some also, women, girls, they know, "No, I don’t want this man," or that, like this. But sometimes it happens, "Oh, I am good, and I am good for you, and here, my darling, and my darling," and after marriage, in two or three months, my God, I don’t know, but you should know what happens in the kitchen, throwing through this and that. But sometimes it happens that first, it looks like, "Yes, my darling," and after two or three months, you don’t even know what happens in the kitchen, what all flies there, yes. So, the husband is a protection, and the wife is also protecting everything, very good cooking, this, that, everything. Now, everybody becomes a professor, and one professor is in another country. One is sometimes, I don’t know, when they are together. Only because of the money. And the professor, what did the professor say? Pro say? Pro what? You are pro for your wife. Take care of your wife; that’s the professor. You are here for your wife, not for your profession. And what are you here for? So pro means knowledge, science, everything that you would have done, but you are here for your family also. And if you have to go a far distance, then go as a couple together there. But we don’t know what is happening now. That’s why we are very good, you are very good. Make your children very happy and good, and your parents, yes, always. Don’t say, "Parents, we don’t like this and that." And there are many, many people, and parents are a little old, and this young guy, they are there, and they said, "You can go, please, go to another house or somewhere." Yes, many, many times it happened. In India, they are giving it on the telephone. Elderly mother and father and the children said, "Please, they take this, go anywhere, go out of the house." Really, the husband said, "Boy, if you want to be with me, then put your parents away, finished." So the boy is nice on this side and nice on that side. What happened to this boy? So we should serve our parents, and they should love their children very much, very, very good. And then we should also learn from that. So life is life, and we have to live that life. And we don’t know, have you seen God? You have been in airplanes many times. And you know how many times, days, a day, a month, years, I go with aeroplanes to different countries, far distance from here to Australia, very high aeroplane, it is night, completely there is no light, looking in the ocean, there’s nothing. Neither down, neither up. Where I am, so I’m saying, if there must be God, maybe they are dancing, the gods. Yeah, but not one person there. I tell you, I tell you, myself, I have not seen God. Yes, we have our, if you went to God, then he’s your father and mother. That is for us, God. Yes, mother and father. But now they don’t want, even they say, "Children, please go out somewhere." So, looking down, there is no... Far, there is nothing. Looking like that is nothing. I see the temples, good sannyāsīs, or some spiritual, religious people, that type we see, or we saw our Gurudeva. Mahāprabhujī I did not see, but many times Mahāprabhujī gave me His life, holy Gurujī’s. That’s all. So we say, no, this is not a God. We have God, but where is that God? We are learning, we know it is God. This is all that we are protecting ourselves. Some people, when they die, and suddenly, or after a minute, they come back, and they said, "Oh, I have seen that some god or something, or this, I saw this and that, and then again came back." Yes, this is it. Because we have seen, still, just died. And this all still has feeling. But where are we going? When will we go? There was one man, and he was an elderly father, and his family was there, and he died. And then he was, how do you say, burned, and they came home. They were washing, they should not come in the house before washing, and this. Because the dead body should not be in the house. And it was after about eight o’clock. The family inside was very sad. The grandfather died, and it was a very cold winter. It was dark, and they were all not happy. They said, "Yes, our grandfather was very nice, and this and that, and we want to help him." And then, about 7 o’clock or 8 o’clock, 9 o’clock, on the windows, he was knocking. And they saw, what is that? The grandfather said, "My children, open the door." He said, "No." He becomes a ghost. He is not a ghost. But you see, how? That’s all with the father. Our mother died. Who died is okay. Hurry home, go on. Dead bodies don’t come in, but the meat of other animals you bring into the house. And we don’t say that it’s not good? So, a dead body bringing in your priest and your father into the earth. Where was God? How was God? God is in our heart. You all have God. Yes. And many others, God within ourselves. But we know that ancestors, they were like gods. And sometimes they are so good, they are so, and we say, that’s like a God. Rāma was there, Śiva was there, Viṣṇu was there, Kṛṣṇa was there, Jesus was there. All, where are they? We are looking. May visiting. We are visiting. Aha, who might have that? We don’t know, it is like this. Have you seen God? But still we are worshipping. We don’t see, but we feel like that, and that is very important for us. So first, God is mother, father, then your spiritual. Then we have pūjā, we are making pūjās, so we call them sādhu, or some is like a pope, and something else. And have they that inside, that energy of God? So we saw many times, but not. Either we were blinded, and we said, "Oh, there is something." Or there was a reflection. But we have God in the heart, and that we open it outside. So you should say in you that, "Yes, I see God. My God, my heart." And don’t tell others negative; all positive. Something is born is already God. That’s very important to know. So purify ourself, and we should have pure qualities. Then that girl will be happy. She will be very happy, and boy also very happy if it is there in the kismat. And Jyotiṣ can tell you. Will or not, otherwise better to be nothing. Otherwise, again going away and going away, and the children are suffering. Life and God, how to see that? I know, I also see, but I saw my Gurujī. I saw Mahāprabhujī’s photo, Devpurījī’s photo, Alappurījī’s photo. That is my God now, yes. And so you got it, that. My mother is my God, my father is my God. My sister, my brother is my God. And my best friends are my God. That is how we should live. And finally, say that I am the God, but I don’t want to open everything. Because my God is reflecting there to others somewhere. So it is said, if we want to see God and feel God, then let all animals free. If you want to see God, if you want to feel God, then give all the freedom. Many animals are eating, but a human is not an animal. It’s not to cut something and have blood come out. I never killed something so that with suffering and blood coming. My knife will fall out. That is the feeling of deadly love. Many things. How did the things? Because they are eating. Many, many people, not only here in India, but also elsewhere, are killing goats, buffaloes, and even cows, among many other things. But there are more; they are all not killing any animals. But the science came, this language and all this learning—what is learning? And they come like, "I am higher, and I am this," and they eat meat. Because men said, "Oh, if you’re a doctor and professor and you don’t eat, then you are not a professor." Because you are for the pro. Yeah, Paro was pro. So, yes, many, many professors are great, and they don’t eat any meat or eggs or anything, and they are very great, great professors, and like this. So, my dear, when you see God, and we are sitting here, and maybe it’s coming, oh my God, just for five seconds. But tell us that we all look. It is something like a star falling. It is aware where it has gone. On Christmas day, this time in the evening, all the children should sit in the room. And they are doing everything good, and making the Christmas tree, and putting everything for children. And then she’ll open the door, "Come, come!" But Jesus, oh, he’s gone because you came too late. Every house is run, but he brought it for you. Yes, it is. You know that everything, no? And so we see God. In his house he was, but he was second; he was not. And we are all the next year, so Jesus will come. And we say, "Next year, can I have a computer?" Now, definitely, the Lord will give you. God will give us. Jesus will not go away from you, or Jesus, or Kṛṣṇa, or Rāma, Śiva, Alkapurījī, and many, many... many there are. All men, men... all beings, men, men means not only men, I mean both, humans. They will come like rain coming, very strong, then all drops coming, many, many. So everywhere is everyone. Someone, don’t take that this is a mistake, and this one is like that, and this one is like that. One is eating meat and telling others, "Don’t you eat." Swami says, "You eat meat. And you? Why not?" That’s it. So these are different people’s thinking, very, yes? So it is said, when someone has done something, and everybody is beating them, one person very much, and one man came and put them away and took this man. And they say, "No, no, we will kill him." He said, "No, no," and he took him. He said, "No, don’t take him, because you have no mistake." So if there is a mistake, but the other is suffering so much, then you are not a human. What have you done? And what have they done? First tell that, have you done this? And what then? This is humans. The human, this is not good. Protect. Whatever mistakes we do, they are on our side, and we should clean them up. And so, is life that is a life happy and peaceful? Let’s see, we will see God. Otherwise, our tree is God, our earth is mother. Many things are all like... Sometimes I am thinking, "I will not die, because I might be these trees. How will I come there?" Maybe when I die, other Swamis will come and have a very nice satsaṅg here. Maybe I will sit in the tree there and look at you. When you all sing bhajans, is it wrong? Śrīdhī Prahlād Bhagavān Kī Jai, Devadhī Dev Devapuruṣa Mahādeva Kī Jai, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān Kī Jai, Vaiṣṇava Satsaṅga Prabhu.
