The Christmas light illuminates the universal theme of divine birth and a mother's sacred suffering. Many anticipate this celebration with joy, decorating and preparing sweets. The season invites reflection on figures like Jesus and Krishna, who entered the world through hardship. Their births highlight a mother's painful yet loving sacrifice, a truth seen even in animals like a cow giving birth. True worship transcends specific religions, embracing all life. It begins with honoring the mother, the source of life, and extends to compassion for all creatures. Killing animals for ceremony contradicts this reverence. The divine light resides within the heart, as shown by Hanuman, and this inner presence is what we must seek and honor.

"If you worship God, then first worship the mother."

"Animals are very painful, but they share very good ceremonies. That cannot be a ceremony."

Good evening, all my dear sisters and brothers. We should know, meditate, and pray. The Christian holy period has been ongoing for a week. What comes now? Christmas. For Christmas, in every religion and country, what do we think? Not only us, but children look forward to it daily, with lights lit everywhere. In Europe, everything is very nicely decorated. One celebration has already passed, and the second is coming soon—Sunday, the day after tomorrow. In this way, many people—whether they eat meat or not—are thinking about Jesus. It is like every other religion. Many worship, and some reject this or that religion. Who can worship, or at least give happiness? Is this a God, or that? If people would all reflect on Jesus's life, even though it was very hard, he became great, and we all see God in him. How do we worship? Worship means we are very happy. He can come back again; he was here. Many people fast, count days, and prepare good things. We had Diwali. After Diwali comes Jesus. In Diwali, which Bhagavāns do we remember? Śiva, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Rāma, and then Kṛṣṇa. Who is thought of most? Kṛṣṇa. When they say Kṛṣṇa, they speak of a little child. Similarly, what was Jesus? How did we receive him? You know the many stories: where he was born, where the cows were. There was a donkey and other animals. The Holy Mother was there. Why was the child born there and not in a house? That is a deeper point, and I cannot tell all because I have forgotten many things. But that was a mother. It is a mother's love. We always know when a child is born, boy or girl; we are somehow very happy. We say, "Oh, beautiful," and "very good, a darling." We are all born like this, like Kṛṣṇa. We know how Kṛṣṇa was born or incarnated. We tell of Kṛṣṇa, how he was born, and how much his mother suffered. Then Kṛṣṇa came and set everything right. Similarly, I think that mother was suffering from a disease. But then we came; the disease came for us, really. And how happy we are, thinking deeply after all nine days, and then for a whole year—twelve months. Now, everyone is worshipping. But for me, I am a little... Jesus is always only on the cross in our thoughts. But it is still for Mark; it was not Paul who put him there so—not nicely, not good at that time. This is another thing I cannot elaborate on, as these are Christian matters, and this is how they have portrayed it always. So, this is the day. Many things are said about different countries. Here in Europe, we speak of where Jesus was, and Mass, and snow, and everything beautiful. Children play and wait every day: "When will Jesus come?" On that day, children and parents sit down in the kitchen or in their own room, and they bring something. Jesus is coming, and they bring something sweet. Everywhere we are, this is done. They make beautiful, good sweets. They are already making them. In places like Croatia, Australia, and New Zealand, where it is hot, they say, "Oh my God, we are nice, and we go to the ocean—there is no snow, but we want to go to the ocean." This is how people are. We do this or that, but still we worship such a great saint like Jesus and like Kṛṣṇa. You know also about Bhagavān Rāma, what he went through, and what about Sītā? That is very... people don't... You know, we are only thinking that we want to be in good dress, look very good, have nice cloth, have good eating, and so on. But others, for a whole week or month, worship nicely. So, the Christmas time is now here, my dears. We are all here, mostly in our ashrams, from different countries. Where Jesus is mostly worshipped, we should also worship. We Hindus say we worship everyone and respect everybody. This means that one who knows in their heart and mind for all religious worshipping—those who say, "No, only this, and that other is not good"—then it means you still do not know what God is. God is that. It is said that we love and feel for even any animals, birds, fish, and all other creatures. That is that. It is said that because when it is said that each and every animal is eating each other's jīva—"jīva bhakṣate jīva"—they are eating each other; they know they are suffering also, and painful. Animals are like that. Then it is said, when it is like this, each and every animal eating, they said, "This God, why are they all eating each other? Please, can you give what?" And then God has given humans. God said that, indeed, each and every creature is there—the gods, the life, all of this—but we do not know that much. Therefore, it is said God gave the humans, and God said this, that. But now you say that we want something. Then he went—the humans, of course, it was not so easy to know at that time, but slowly, slowly it came. That pain is not only for ourselves but for others also. And so we came as that kind of human that they don't want, they cannot, and they don't feel this pain from there. And so, those who are worshipping... So jīva-jīva-bhakṣate is different, and what are spiritualities or feelings or livings or blessings? Who is blessing? Humans are blessing, and how do they bless us? There are people who say they are worshipping, but they are killing animals. How can they? Animals are very painful, but they share very good ceremonies. That cannot be a ceremony. In that way, I would like, from my side, for this Jesus, I respect very much, love very much, but I cannot feel and like that Jesus's life which was killed or was like that. And Rāma's life was also not so easy, and his parents' also, and Kṛṣṇa's also. So in every god, in this coming, the mother is very much suffering. She is very painful. And it is not only like that—the birth of the gods or Jesus or Kṛṣṇa or Manoj and Bhagavān, everything—but that mother also, every mother, she was suffering. And therefore it is said: if you worship God, then first worship the mother. Yes, you don't know, we don't know. Oh boy, oh man. But how the mother is worshipping inside, for that, her child, sister, girls, or the boy, it doesn't matter. So the mother knows how she is, and what is coming, what is bringing girls or boys. But we feel that is life, and how this life is coming. So, in every religion, they have their worships, and they should, I hope—and I don't know, I don't want to know how they are doing—but in our Sanātana Dharma, what in religion is understood, the religious in Hindus, etc., was full of that. But again, from time to time, they lost the feelings of that. And how many are also taking meat and killing the animals? Then it is said that is not right; you are not for the mothers of those mothers. Which mothers? The mothers of the humans, and also, you see, when our animal, our cow, is giving birth to a child, a calf, she is also suffering. How many months is she suffering? But how she feels, she feels. What is love? Mother and child. It is not easy that she brings such big animals, cows or buffaloes, etc. But they know. Even if it is so painful, in her heart that mother says, "My child is born." The cow gives birth to a baby boy or girl, you could say. She knows it is very painful, but she is so happy. "God, God, I have my child." And people take them and kill them, and the animals are looking there. "What is that?" So in a way, now is this month of Christmas. People are all happy and looking good, and we are praying. When we are here in India in our ashrams, on that day we should worship Jesus. Very nice, there is a light. That light was when the god Rāma had his mākī, the very nice lights. And it is also because when Hanumānjī came, people said, "Where is Rāma? There is no Rāma, no God." He said, "My God is in my heart," and said, "There is no... you are not like this." Then, you know, Hanumanjī said, "Where is Rām?" And he said, "Because Rām and Sītā, they went." But he said, "No, he is in my heart." And he said, "Where is in your heart?" And then, you know, Hanumanjī took his needles and saw that there was Sītā. And you see, that many, the heart of the God Hanumānjī. And so it is that after what we see, they are also showing about the same thing, the Jesus heart. And you see, there is also the Jesus heart there, too. We should know that, from time to time. So God is... sometimes we don't know where it is and where he's going everywhere. And so, it shows it is a lot. It's like problems, very wish, and like following in this way. I wish you, and we will speak more about this. I'm sure that all our yoga people's yoga in life, people around the world—from my side to say—we worship Jesus, and we are taking the day. We are coming day by day; we will come there. So, thank you for being with us. And every day, before sleeping or in the morning when you wake up, think about the Holy Mother, okay? Your mother, your mother, and then the will come, that will come, the Jesus baby. But it's not a baby; it will be God. We have to know each other, and so it is not only that. Many, many countries and many, many religions and their, everybody's thinking about their God, and it is very good. Why not? They are very good. I worship. I wish that all are like this. We should be, and not say that I'm only Hindu, or I'm not a Christian, or I am not this. But we all should—we are humans in this very nice bhajans. I was, in the last three days or four days, I was not here. We will see tomorrow again, maybe. I hope to come to the satsaṅg here because I am again to go to three places. But it should, and it will be; if I come here earlier again, then I will, of course, come tomorrow. Otherwise, I am there. So that we have very nice, beautiful bhajans of our ārādya Bhagavān Śrī Alakpurījī's, Devpurījī's, Mahāprabhujī's, and Holy Gurujī's and our Lālā Nanjī's. Lala Nanjī is very great. He was very great, very great. I went to see this year, and some came with me, and I want to see that place of our... Yes, yes. And Lala Nanji's was, he had there, like a very beautiful, great palace. And he had so many horses like this, and it was very nice. We were with you at Premanaji's. And how many sādhus were there? So I wanted to see when we go to the Kailāśa on Khattu. Then we will come to that place to see Lalananchi Maharaj, okay? And they want me to come there. Unfortunately, that palace is a little falling down because some people cannot work, and there was this and that. Otherwise, that time was a great thing. Great, like this, all sādhus were very great. There was, but they know how to do, how to work, how to feel, and this is not easy. It is not easy that you have that, that your power in you, that otherwise this otherwise is gone. And so, but very good bhajan, okay? Best one, yes. Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jai. Siddharth Purī Jī Mahādeva Kī Jai. Rādhe Bhagavān Siddhāṁ Nāre Mahāprabhujī Kī Jai. Thank you for watching.
