Live in a natural way

This place is a sanctuary of purity and spiritual well-being. It is full of prāṇa and very good for health, as our environment here is clean and free from chemicals. The natural water flows, the healthy trees, and the pure air create a healing atmosphere. People recover from ailments and stress through meditation, prāṇāyāma, and satsaṅg. This is a retreat from the modern world's pollution and materialism. We observe that modern comforts and money often lead to loss and dissatisfaction, unlike the simple, pure life here. The ashram fosters positive community, spiritual practice, and a return to natural living. It is a place for healing, happiness, and reconnecting with essential purity.

"All 24 hours and in every direction, we are very clean, with no chemicals inside. This is very much our heritage, our health."

"In every country, for all people, there must be yoga in daily life. There must not be yoga."

Śabdasa Prabhuścaraṇāparāyaṇam Ham Śabdasa Prabhuścaraṇāparāyaṇam Yom Namaserī Prabhudīpanāram Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī. Devādhi Dev, Dev Puruṣa Mahādev. Harade Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī Kī. Satguru Swāmī Madhavānandjī Bhagavān Kī. Good evening. This is a beautiful, beautiful place. It is full of prāṇa, very much prāṇa. It is very good for our health because in our ashrams here, there are no chemical things. In the part of our ashram behind, there are no chemical things because that is a road. From our door, the water flows out to the other side. From this right side, water also goes to the other side. On another side, there is also a little creek, and all that water goes there. There is also a palm grove coming, and there they have chemical things, but it is falling into the lake and going out. So it is so beautiful that all 24 hours and in every direction, we are very clean, with no chemicals inside. This is very much our heritage, our health. We have beautiful grass here. We can sit anywhere without needing anything like a yoga mat; we can sleep, lie down. But when you want to sleep all night, then of course you have to have a yoga mat or sleeping bag. Our beautiful trees take very clean water through their roots, so all our trees are very healthy. That's why you can see more birds and many other creatures here. They are very happy, very good. We have very good energy and oxygen coming into our body. If we go to a beautiful, big hospital, the air there is not like this. You may think you feel healthy, but sometimes some feel a little bit different thinking or have different feelings because we are taking in new, clean things from the body. Some people like sleeping very much here. Yes, because all the impure oxygen and other kinds are going out, and the oxygen we inhale here is very pure. So we become very sleepy. Enjoy sleep also here. Even in your class where you have your programs, you are also sleeping. I was looking today at how you are there. It was very nice, very nice. So I said yes, they said yes. We have very nice rain from time to time, then we have very nice sun. This is a very big castle, a very, very big castle. We have many, many tablets, rooms. Sometimes, nearly 900 or 1,000 people can remain here. We have many, but there are also tents outside. Tents are very good. Very rarely do we have something to sleep through this tent. Either people are going to another country or landing somewhere and taking some very rare people. Many are going into the mountains, but others are going to different places where there is again more alcohol, this and that. So this is our time here. We are doing, we are recovering. We are recovering from all oxygen issues, chemicals, and what we call the Corona. If we had some air from the cities, in some villages and so on, there were a lot of people with Corona. Now we came here, and through our programs and prāṇāyāmas, we recover everything. Many times I see in the morning, people are meditating early morning before sunrise in different parts of the park. I have a little kuṭyā here. You know what a kuṭyā is? Who doesn't know what a kuṭyā is? Yes, it is a little house. Something like this can be a kuṭyā. This is beautiful, so nice. But I am observing everywhere. I can see from this side, here, here,... here. And I see mostly here many, many of our brothers or sisters, early morning, they are meditating or doing āsanas. That's very, very good. To sit nearby the earth and these whole beautiful trees, grass, and wherever we see, everything is the best, best, beautiful. We are here about one week, but it feels like only two days. The water, I cannot say. That is the difference from where water is coming. There is water here also. The water is not so good coming. There are many ponds, and water is coming; they are cleaning there and putting something inside. But the air and earth, this is very great for us. We are lucky, very lucky. So it is not only a place you come for a seminar. You can come any time, two persons, or five persons, or one person, or twenty persons. Come on, come always. It is your ashram. This is number one. And number two, we are all positive people. I don't mean Corona and these things, but I am taking it from the other side. That is very, very good, getting the air and everything. Also, when we are here, when we get our meal, and also in our water, the air vent is very good. We can catch the water; it is drinking water. We don't have any factories, many factories, and this and that. I tell you that there are many points. Sometimes one feels the need to come and meditate. Sometimes there are some people, not all, but they have some problems: family problems, thinking about your job, or feeling some disease or something, or thinking that it will not be good. Sometimes we are thinking something, and then really it is not good. When we say that someone told me something, not good things, now it is said, "Oh my God, he or she told me like this," and it's not good. And we are inside suffering. So when we come here, we should only think of very pure air, water, and trees. Everything is perfect here. Many times I see some person, alone, sitting there and holding like this. Sometimes, no? Yes, a little bit first is like unhappy, lonely, and then slowly, slowly the trees are talking to us, birds are singing. This is also very good for our techniques and our health. Many countries, of course, not only our ashram, but the whole earth, which we have. But we humans are making so many things which are not good. When there were no chemicals and these things, the air was good, the water was good, and the vegetables were good. There were cows, and these animals' milk was very good. We had no problems. Any time we could take the milk and drink from the goat, from the cow, for pillows, many other things. Everything was pure, very pure, very pure. But we humans, in one way, we do something for comfort; we say it's for our comfort. So there is good and bad; both are. We have made the aeroplane, so let's say I will go from here to India in about six, seven hours, and I'm there. And others, we were going with hoards or walking or something. We have comfort, but in comfort, is there not good? Therefore, you know, I was always thinking, people said we should go somewhere, what do we call it, go outside of the city. What do you call that? Countryside? Retreat. Why should we retire in a retreat? Come home. Be good at home. In our village, in our farm, but now we earn money, we take the money, we take the aeroplanes, then we go to the hotels, and there we lose a lot of money. And we say, oh, it was very nice. Because now, in the world, people have so much money. Yes, nowadays there is no value for money. So, more and more are coming, but that is not so good. Now we have newspapers and this and that; otherwise, the gold or the silver. And there was no paper money. And so we cannot carry it with us. Money should be there, but now, how much can we take in just one pocket? That is not the value of the money now. But okay, anyhow, it's good. The paper, it can burn, it doesn't matter. Money falls into the ocean when we go, or we are using money very much. Why not? All we are full of money. The First World War, how was it? There was no money, and in this Second World War, we all tried very hard to live happy, healthy, and with money, etc. And now we have money. So everyone goes for the retreat: swimming, this, that. And suddenly, you know what happened? This corona, many companies closed, many shops closed, so they said, "We have no money, we cannot, workers go." Yes, this is like that. Now the people, they said they had money, but three times at least they were going somewhere out of the work. And using all the money very much, and then suddenly stayed home. Or gone. Money is not there, only money for one month or something, because using too much alcohol, this, that, so you know, in many countries, people have no money. We used it too much. And some governments give something, but just a little for your bread. But if you are working in the government, then they give you money. So, how many people left without money, without work? And how we will come back again is not easy. Many companies blocked, so many things that we are thinking are not good at that time. So, otherwise, you know, we have money and we go there, you know. What do we call it? They are going to Croatia and Slovenia, and that, you know, Adriatic coast. And when all workers and people want to go there, suddenly Croatians say, "We don't have Corona." And when the tourists want to come to Croatia, they say, "There is no Corona here." So I told them, "Why? How is it gone?" They said, "Because we have come, the money. We don't have corona." We have money. So this is how things happen, my dear. So therefore, when we can go swimming, there is not so much problem. But how do they think we go? Oh, to be happy, healthy, and good. But until two o'clock, they are dancing, prancing, trancing. So many instruments. I can't go any more there. I was there about 50 years before, very comfortable, very peaceful, very clean. And now, mostly all money goes to Croatia and Slovenia, and the money is going there. And you come home without money. And now there is a corona, there is no work. So, better you come here, so we don't take too much money out. What is eating, sitting? So I thought, there are people sitting, but they want to know how to deal with the money. What should you do with the money? And then they go, "We are giving out dancing, dancing..." So, how much drinking, talking, dancing, many things. And we are here, bhajans, satsaṅg. So I thought the people feel something out of God, that is always meditation. Mantra, sarva-hitāsana, this. Some people say we are full of it. So I was thinking, really, it's not a joke. How to make you open? We were sitting there for a very long time. So I said, "I will make this tree, and children will come and we will make it like this." Then people liked it very much. Then I made it now in Vienna, and in Jadan in India, because many people come and always have tea, tea, tea for people coming and cooking. They can say, "Should we make tea, or should we cook?" and like this. So, those who want to have tea, I made it now, coffee, tea. And if you want tea, please, here is tea, you can have it. And who is making the person give the money? But money, money, money is funny. So I was saying, coffee terrier. And now you see, in three nights, only three nights, here we were. But how many of us were relaxed and good? And so, we are sitting here. And many of them said, "I will drink something, I will do something." So, happiness. And it's not so much money, like in there. Yes, because we don't have time for your money to give out. So it's good, so everything is so happy. So we have bhajans, we are singing, but one day we can do all dancing. Yeah, all bhajansim singing, okay? Happy, happy is the happiest. So, my dear, in this area, we are like brothers and sisters. And our other countries, many different countries, it's okay. We have brothers and sisters from many different countries. So when I see somewhere a little noise—no, not noise, some sound, noise—but when it is doing some work, then it is very good. But when there is nothing and you are sitting. Sitting. That is not good, but work is work. That is the best. So you are very happy. I am very, very happy. And I am really, nearly... how many years, months? This year, and so I also feel very good. Many things which I don't need to tell you, but it is good. So thank you very much. Be happy, be healthy, be comfortable, be relaxed, do meditations, and to all our friends, to speak with our friends. And sometimes someone is looking for someone. You know, many are coming, then they go to become... Girls and boys, they become the couple. So yeah, couple, my son. What is a couple? Single or couple? Single is also then, couple is also. Because I tell you, this is not a joke, but it is. You say to me, some say to me, "I will not tell the name." Swamiji, I have been with you for so many years, and I want to marry. I was studying, and now? But I don't like this because I have no alcohol, no meat, no this. And also, no doing somewhere all the time. There is something. What is it? Night disco. And he doesn't want to be somewhere at night after those discos. And so many of our friends, many, many... They came together, they married. And 90% of them are very happy, very good. Some are a little bit happening. So also in yoga, how we are friends, very good, really, so many families, friends from other countries, these countries, it's a very good life. You have made it, and you will make more. The world is coming more into spiritualities. Many, many people are there, many, many gurus, many disciples, and not only yogīs or Indians, but many others also. We are coming very together, very pure things. Many people are searching for seeds for many things, fruits and this and that, because all seeds have been destroyed. Only once it comes, and the second is not. And it is also that the children do not come more. One or two is okay. Many may want to have more. Or the children come not healthy. It is all from this, what we are eating. So many people behave via the bank, the seed bank. In Germany, there are some of our friends, and they are searching everywhere to get the real seeds again. Because one seed, then again and again will come the same good work of fruits and all things. We made everything. This fruit and that fruit were good, but now they are bad. It was good, but now they put other seeds in the middle, so only once, but it is something like, sorry, cut this tree and put it there, okay, fruit will come, but seed will not go, you know that everything. And so also, they have problems, boys and girls. They don't know why the child didn't come, why he comes, or why children are not healthy. You know that everything, I don't know so much, but you know everybody, yes? Yeah. Once a man has no more power, and his wife or the girls, she says, "No, I will go to others. You are not anymore." Or, on the other side, this is all because we have destroyed everything. So we have to come again, good. So also we should take the fruit and vegetables and everything, but they are vegan. So they are also getting with the seeds, and Megan is very, very good. So we should try very much. In every country, for all people, there must be yoga in daily life. There must not be yoga. There are many different techniques, but they should all come from very pure qualities inside. That's very important.
