Hari Om, everybody. Good morning, good evening. How was today? It was very, very beautiful, clean, with rain and good air. Today we also had a good dinner. Yes, very good. We always have certain days where we should eat only once, or fast for 24 hours, though water should be taken. There are specific names for these days, and it is very important to know for which day one should fast. We mostly take the fast after Sunday, on the next day. What did we have today? Also a beautiful festival. Every day from Sunday to Sunday has its significance. This practice is mostly for health, and there is a whole Jyotiṣa (Vedic astrology) that tells everything about it. I will tell you more and show you again, but this is why one should fast. The main thing is health, which is why we do it. Many people, for example the Muslims, fast for one whole month. They only drink after sunset, and they finish the month after seeing the new moon. They have this kind of fast, which is good. It brings them very much onto a spiritual path and has many good things. During that month, they do not even drink water; they swallow nothing. Near my workplace, there was an elderly woman, about 90 or 95 years old. She was in the hospital for something, but she said, "Don’t put any drop of water, any drop in my mouth. Only give me water at the permitted time, otherwise not." It has its significance, but let us say the first thing is for our health. We are eating too much now. About a hundred years ago, people did not eat so much. When we don't have something, we take chewing gum in our mouth because we want to have something there. But it is said one should not eat something at any time. You can drink water if thirsty. One should have three meals with nothing in between. We hardly go for one hour without taking something in our mouths, including myself. Oh, yes. No, okay, thank you, I am disciplined. Umapurī says thank you. It is very important because the stomach takes time to digest everything. It is said that in the morning, after we get up and wash, we should eat well, like farmers say. Then lunch is good; we can eat something good. In the evening, we should eat less. That is for health. Do not eat anything after sunset. From sunset to sunrise, we should not eat anything solid—only water. But now, people have more alcohol and eat at midnight, a lot of meat, etc. Everything has changed. If they eat meat at midnight or at 10 or 11 o'clock, then go to the hospital or a restaurant, eating and drinking, then they sleep. In the morning, they get up with their stomach still full. That’s why they don’t have breakfast; they just drink coffee and go. There are many experiments. I made an experiment in the last few days, but I will not tell what. Certain things mean digestion is not properly done. So if we can take yogic practices, then we should... Liquid is okay, but not that liquid which is alcohol. How many people in the world now begin with alcohol, and how unhealthy are they? If you are practicing yoga to live a healthy and long life, and when we die, we should die healthy—perhaps about five days or two weeks before. In India, there was a story on Facebook about an old man above 100. He was lying down a little and said, "I’m going to die." He told his son to chant mantras from the Sanskrit Vedas. This is very, very nice about Vedic mantras. The father said to his son, "My son, now chant this mantra of the Vedas." He chanted, and his son had to chant also. Sometimes, when his time came to go, he would change some words, but he was chanting. His son was also chanting, and he said, "Yes, chant this because the constellation is not still there." Then he opened his eyes and was gone. There are many, many people who do not eat meat and alcohol. Every morning they stand up and say some names of the gods before eating, some mantras, and also in the evening make a prayer before sleeping, early morning, and so many things. One can learn this to attain human happiness, joy, peace, and much love for everybody’s long life. That man said, "Already, now I know it’s my time. I am going." There are many things a person can learn and do in life to have a happy, long life, to live a spiritual life, and then grow to a high age, know when their time is, and say, "Now I am leaving." Now you can see in many hospitals, and before hospitals, the people who had a lot of alcohol and meat have lost their minds. They lost many years, and when they die, they don't know what they are dying from or not. They put people in the hospital in a bed somewhere, all inside, and they are unconscious or something. Those who are not drunk and do not eat meat and eggs and such, you will see their life continues very near till death. Of course, some are afraid. Someone said, "Yes, I will, it’s my time." Of course, some are afraid, and so in that way, what we are talking about—many great ṛṣis or yogīs or whatever—you know that there is some far distance in the forest or anywhere. Mostly they go to the mountains where there is a far distance, and people are not coming too much. Then they get the prāṇa, and prāṇa is life. We don’t know what the soul is, what our ātmā is, but this prāṇa... After yogic practices, slowly, slowly eating less and less, water also little, they remain with the air. This is what yogic techniques say. And how many, many years they can live. Recently, there was a man from the Himalayas, not very deep. He is still living, and people made a little temple. People go for darśana and come back. I was not there; I only saw it on the web. In many countries, maybe somewhere, they fall inside the body, lying there, and they are living. They are neither dead nor living, and the body is as it is. But not all of us are like this. We will not be. I don’t want to live so long inside. Better is to come again new, so we have a nice child. The mother has very nice milk, yes? Oh, the child is good. Milk from the mother and again good food, yes. Better is to come good, but like this, vice versa. Live life, but live life good. Life—how many people with alcohol die with cars and scooters and like this? That is not a life. Enjoy something peaceful, happy, joyful, everything. But how, who am I to see anybody? During Corona time, in India, the government blocked alcohol completely. So many people came; they lost their alcohol. After nearly one month or two months, they were so poor. Poor people, because they are not working, have no money, only food. How to come quickly? And they think they are very... poor then. One day the government said from morning 7 o’clock till 5 o’clock, you can take your alcohol. All the village people looked at it like this. When they said, "Today they can buy their alcohol, they can have," there were about one kilometer of people standing. They brought a very big bag and so much money, and so much alcohol they took home. The government said, "How many millions of money came up in alcohol?" But also, the people were sitting like very poor. But when alcohol came, they had thousands of rupees. So we don’t know how much money is coming from alcohol, and how many animals are slaughtered. This is how we should think about something. I don’t want to tell you; I should do myself, and if you want, then you should be also like that, without alcohol and meat and drugs and so on. Then the couples, they are very happy; husband and wife, they are always happy, very. And children are more happy, and that’s it. Otherwise, in drugs and this, I don’t know, lady or man, they are completely angry or whatever. And so the children are many. Many marriages go out, and one is married again there, and one is married there and there. Live life very well from your marriage until the last breath with your family. Some have said no. Why? I don’t like you. Go, hurry up, bye-bye. Go somewhere with one bottle and sit down, and somebody will come and say, "OK, let’s go together." So what God said, or we are not, they are good, they are drinking, eating, everything. We don’t do anything. But we are, we know, we believe in God. And we should worship. How to worship God? There was one man who did not believe in God at all. "There is no God," this and that. But he was very good at walking. He was not an alcoholic. I don’t know what, but he was on the mountains. He was climbing. He didn’t want God at all. He told some things to God. "What are you thinking?" People said, "Believe, please. See, there is a God." "This is for children’s little fairy tales, toys." But one man, he was very, very good at climbing. One day he was on a rock, very high, and he wanted to climb like this to come up. So he put his, what do they call it, crane hooks, yeah? Then he wanted to climb, and suddenly, what happened? The rope broke, and now he’s holding on to the rock. He cannot put a leg down because the rock is like this. He’s holding, then he said, "God, I don’t believe in you. God, I have not seen you, God. And if you come, I don’t want to see you. But if you are really God, that you are really God, and you can do everything, then I will believe, yes, you are really God. God, come quickly if you are." He is holding on the rock. His hands are getting tired. Any more, and it will go. And on the other rock, about 20 meters, God was coming. "My son," He said. "I don’t have a son." "Who are you?" "I am God." "Oh, you are God. Why did you come to me?" "To save you." "Oh, thank you, thank you,... God. You are a God. Yes, please, please, God. You are God. Can you save me? And I tell you, God, I will say in the whole village and everywhere, 'There is a God. Everyone, you must believe in God.' I will give all my money away, and I give every good thing for God. So, God, please save me." God said, "Oh yes, yes, I will do." So he said, "Don’t talk, Gurujī. Please, God, save me, and then I will tell you." He said, "Don’t worry. Do you believe me?" "Yes, okay." "Then will you believe me?" "Yes, will you tell me? I tell you?" He said, "Yes. I will do everything, my God. Yes." "So you trust me, God?" "I trust you, my God." "Then you believe in me, God?" He said, "Yes." "Then take your hands off." "What, God? I will fall down. I’m not stupid. I’m hanging here." Then God said, "You don’t believe me. Remain hanging." So one has to have confidence. Then he was losing his grip, and everything was very... He fell down. The rock was very big, and there were rocks with stones, and he said, "God!" And He’s not there. "Where are you?" That within, before he comes, fall down. God said, "My son, please come, my son." He said, "Yes, now I believe, my God. I did not think this. That you said, just lost your hand." God said, "I told you, I will save you, but you didn’t believe me. And if I would bring you to the rock, maybe you will fall down again, so I brought you like a little child in a mother’s lap." So then he said, "Everybody believes there is a God. They are everywhere, so believe God." If it happens, He will take care of us. Dying is okay, anything, but after this life. The second part of it is that your God is like in mother’s hands. Believe or not believe, God said. If you believe or don’t believe, now it is yours. So God will do. It will take time. But if you have confidence, then it’s okay. God doesn’t say what you are doing now. "This is toys, oh God, children, children, you are playing only. But you should have heart, my God. I am always for you." I am always here for you, and I brought you, and I will be with you. In that way, we should, if we believe or not others, you should believe. And you know that many times God or great persons are coming. You know how they can come? Whether you believe or not, let’s talk about Jesus’ life. How he came into his mother’s womb. She was not married, and you know people say it’s not true, and this and that. The mother was somewhere where the cows were standing, cows and donkeys and so on. In the cold time, there was not so much cloth, and in the grass mother gave this child. Then after, everybody, how it begins slowly, slowly, and they said, "Yes, that’s God. We don’t believe, but it was, and still it was, and it is. It believe." Believe the mother, yes. It is Holi. Guruji said that Kṛṣṇa knows, then he is the Bhagavad Gītā. If you believe in Kṛṣṇa, then it’s a Gītā, not what we are looking. And believing like this, so Kṛṣṇa knows that’s a Bhagavad Gītā, and Mother knows who is the father. You have the children, but it is said the mother knows the father. Similarly, our God trusts in that. So, you are all here and remain in conference, but it has to go to their life. Still, they are not trusted. They are not trusted. Even he had his friends or the disciples. They said of Jesus, some believe, some not, like this. And all who were looking for the gold, and Jesus said, "There is no confidence in the gold." Believe in God, not in gold. But now we believe in gold, not in God. Money, and that’s why the Kali Yuga is here. And when Jesus was carrying his cross, also on the hill, and they were... he could not go. They were beating him, and then on that stone, on the wood where they hanged him like this, and the needles inside, the nails. Then, I told some words, I don’t know what it came, the voice, and they went all gone, all gone, father gone, but mother is the mother, she was sitting down there. Blood was dripping, and she tried very, very much to take him down, and he was lying down, still alive, and where the mother took him out, etc. And in the Bible, from that year to that year, I don’t know. And everyone said that Jesus was in India. And there is written somewhere in the book there. And from Germany, somebody wrote a very nice book about Jesus being in India. But I don’t know, I only see a little bit in the book and what you people tell. And 50 years, 52 years, I am here in Europe, so I know what Jesus is, or what you see about Rāma, Kṛṣṇa, Buddha, what’s happening. Yes. So the spiritual holy men, holy God, they are suffering for others. So, how can one understand? Only you can understand how God has been done. I don’t know very much, my dears. I did not read your books and many things. But the very other Bible, the old Bible, and how people were living then, after Jesus? They were living like poor people: cold water, this, that, many things. Sometimes I tell some people in Austria how they were living, those who believe in Jesus. Yes, he said that if someone steps on one side, the other side will be hit, yes. So, in such things we believe. All religions, which are all religions, they are, it was very nice in holy peoples. But now we are taking it like a war. And all we want to take our religion, our religions, and this and that. So live life. Believe in all. And from that belief, like all went, but mother, she remained with Jesus, and he believed in her. So all, many are there, but now one you have to know this. So like we, we have Alakpurījī. Alakpurījī is the time of Śiva: Satyugas, Dvāparayugas, Tretāyugas, and now Kaliyugas, and that is all. Very pure, we should have eating, drinking, talking, etc. So, my dears, I can only tell you, we should believe in the double gods.
