It is significant for the changing of the waters. In many countries, this is the day for our rainwater. The forests, grass, and many animals all need this water. You may think you are okay, that you have enough water every year. But it is not enough; water is needed now as well. This is a very great day. The full moon has just passed, and the day after the full moon is also significant for all of you, and for India as well. Here, we are harvesting crops; there, they are sowing seeds. This specific date is very important, but it must align with the moon. The moon profoundly changes our life and our feelings. When the moon moves, our innermost being moves too. The moon balances the Earth, which is very important. On this day here in Europe, everything is changing. Very nice fruits are beginning to grow. It is said that we should not eat the same fruits all year round; this is very good for our health. But nowadays, we can get fruits from Australia here, and from here to Australia. The climates are different. We are taking in different air, and that is why people are more ill now. We say, "Okay, fruit is fruit, it's good," but we do not understand. It should be according to the rhythm of the moon and the sun, the heat and the warmth. This applies to animals and to everything—the trees, the grass. Animals are also not happy when we change their time. It is said that in Europe they change the time by one hour, no? But who is doing it? The humans. And all the animals—the cows, buffaloes, birds, everything—they suffer. Humans suffer too from this change. It is not good. Our yoga practices and meditations are also up and down by an hour. So life is very connected to the moon. Of course, the sun is great too, but the moon is nearest to our Earth, and that is why it is controlling. The moon is great. This past month, we observed Guru Pūrṇimā. Why Guru Pūrṇimā? Because of the great ṛṣis, the Śaṅkarācāryas—it is also Śaṅkarācārya's birthday—and Ved Vyāsa. That is a time which is very good for changing our energies and our feelings. Today is the first day. What is the name of this month? August? But we have Agastya Ṛṣi. Agastya Ṛṣi, who sucked the whole ocean, you know the story with the Rākṣasas. So this day today is very important for you, with this change. But we have the connection with the moon. Well, anyhow, you are here, you have had your day. How was your practice today? We were thinking of being outside, but our trees and grass and all of this, they also needed water. It is not only rain for us; it is for everything. We exist within water. First, consider how the Earth came out—through Varāha. Varāha brought the Earth out from the waters. This all begins with the ṛṣis. He brought it out, but still we are in the water, above and below, everywhere. So water is life. Life is water to me, so that we may always come close. Okay, yes, this side, near this... No, no, it's okay, don't take the chair. She's a powerful girl, okay. May you sangs, may you sangs. This is a song. It is about a mother's love, but I change it to the Guru's love. In this world, without a Guru, we are lost. So we have to seek our Guru. With Guru Kṛpā, everything is possible. This is the path to the Guru. Thank you.
