Memories of our Masters take us to the cosmic light

The sacred treasures of the Guru lineage are physical objects imbued with divine presence and grace. These items connect the disciple to the Guru and the cosmic reality. A mala bead was preserved from the Guru's samadhi. A bowl used for eating carries the Guru's touch and energy. A water vessel contains sacred water from India's rivers. Pure sand from where the Guru walked is a supreme treasure carried by the disciple. The Guru's shoes, a walking stick from his family, and his shawl were received through devotion. A bed was gifted by a family in America and restored. These objects are not mere items; they are conduits of spiritual energy and remembrance. To see or touch them invites the cosmic light. These treasures are given to all disciples for their altar and meditation.

"Now I give you my treasure, my everything, the whole, in the whole universe."

"Keep this in your mind, in your heart... this memory will take us to the cosmic light."

Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Devadhī Dev Dev Purīśa Mahādev Kī Satguru Svāmī. Madhavān Jī Bhagavān Kī Alakh Purī Jī. Mahādev Kī Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī Jai. Oṁ Namaḥ Śrī Prabhu Dīp Nārāyaṇam. Om Śānti, Śānti,... Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī’s, Devpurījī’s, Mahāprabhujī’s, Alakhpurījī’s—we have our great saints, and Mahāprabhujī’s have brought everything to give us, and what Mahāprabhujī has given. Mahāprabhujī said, "Everything is in the world, everything." All different lives, all creatures. What a beautiful earth we have. Beautiful, very clear, and all peoples and others, they find joy in this world, and especially more so is the human. And that God has given that now you will come to the cosmic in the cosmic. We don’t have any different things. All creatures, ātmā, the soul, whatever, all come as one. But it has to be in such clarity, otherwise we again come back into this world. So Guru Dev said, "Swami Madhavanandaji, and you know, all of you know that Holy Gurujī was, how long, day and night, making his mālā." When the eyes saw Holī Gurujī’s, then his mālā was thick. And then, from that time till now, Holī Gurujī has a Mālā, and day and night he has the Mālā with him. So the mala, this bead of the mala, is beautiful and nice. And now that the Holy Gurujī was writing with this mantra, with this mālā, and his mālā I have with me. And I can tell you that Gurujī has just put it very softly, polished every day. When Holī Gurujī went into Parabrahman, and we were putting many things of his, like his mālās, all in that samādhi. Then I said, "But I will go, and I cannot see Mahāprabhujī’s mālā and Mahāprabhujī." So, my disciple Premanant from Austria said to me, "Please, Swamiji, leave this mālā with you there, so that you will see." So that Mālā is with us in our āśram, and it’s beautiful. Also, Holī Gurujī had one very nice, beautiful bowl. And this is a kind of somewhere on the rivers and other parts. Now we didn’t find it because many chemical things have destroyed many things in the water also. And that Holī Gurujī was mostly in his room, in his āśrams, so he was eating with this very nice bowl. It has, Gurujī said, that from this pot, what I am eating and I am holding, I am touching, it is from Mahāprabhujī also. And definitely Devpurījī was also. Such things, when they come to us, to see and touch, it is, as we are in such a great sense, in that energy which is with us. Then there is one beautiful, it is for the water, it is called kaṇḍhal. And this is beautiful, it is from the, I think from the, from the brass. And it is water, about how much? Three or four water bottles of water inside. Yes. So Gurujī was beside there, and then he went over the cloth. That water, because it was given to someone, I don’t know, Mahāprabhujī said it was given, and from all rivers in India, Holy Gurujī’s water has brought God’s people to give it to Holy Gurujī. After that, Holy Gurujī was also folding his hands and praying to Mahāprabhujī. Throughout, after meditation, he remained with his hands folded and meditating. Then, you know, Holy Gurujī gave me, and that was from Mahāprabhujī’s place there, Badīkhāṭū. The sand is very pure. And when Mahāprabhujī was stepping his legs on this river, on the sand, Immediately, Holī Gurujī took the sand. And many times, when he was going to the other villages, Holī Gurujī was giving the people the sand where Mahāprabhujī was working. All the time she had this sand, very fine, nice, and Holī Gurujī was putting it in his mouth and on his head. That sand, one day Holī Gurujī said to me, I think maybe it was in Vienna, or there or Nepal with Holī Gurujī or Jaipur. One day Holī Gurujī called me, "Maheśvarānandī," and there was a glass bottle, and he said, "Now I give you my treasure, my everything, the whole, in the whole universe." Because when Mahāprabhujī was walking on it, I think he was walking on me, Maheśvarānanda. So I give you. I said, but why do you sit now? Because when you go to other countries, you should have the sand with you. It means I and Mahāprabhujī, we are with you. And I have this all the time. It is also a little in India. In Jaipur, in Vienna, in Austria, and then Holī Gurujīs. Holi, Gurujīs always told me, "I gave you all treasures." And what was that then? Mahāprabhujī’s shoes, and these many, many people, all when Holī Gurujī was going somewhere, sorry, and those who had shoes, they took them. They said to Mahāprabhujī, "Please, can I have your shoes?" And those shoes, the people brought them to their altar and pūjā. And so he gave me, Mahāprabhujī, the shoes of Holy Gurujī. Mahāprabhujī’s shoes, and this is in Vienna, one is in my pillow, one we have in Mañchādevī, and one we have in Vienna on the first floor ashram there. One day, on the āśram of Mahāprabhujī’s in one village, Harsor, the name is Harsor, and I went there to Mahāprabhujī’s āśram. His brothers, and this and that house. Mahāprabhujī was the oldest brother. So when I was there, Mahāprabhujī’s brothers—their brother’s son—gave me one beautiful stick. This is from somewhere in the, somewhere, bar... bar tree. It’s like coming up from the mountains. It’s beautiful. Somebody took from this tree and is holding it very nicely from the root. And they gave me this, that Gurujī’s, Mahāprabhujī’s, Mahāprabhujī’s stick that I have in my Vienna āśram. How much joy I had on that day that Mahāprabhujī was holding, and now it comes into my hands. And my Gurujī said, "Yes, this is my treasure, my īś." And this is, you can go and see in Vienna in our ashram, and you will be great. If you can see this or you touch that, all prāṇas will come, prāṇas, prāṇas of the cosmic light. Many people do not know; when they don’t know what it is, for them it is nothing. I give you today all treasures. So I went to Barikhatu a long, long time ago, and there was one who was taking care of Mahāprabhujī’s āśram. So I came from Europe, and I always went to the Barikatu Ashram. And there was one, this Mahāprabhujī’s family, some children, men, and he said, "Please, can you give me one little..." That time, radio was rare to get. This, this, no, no... just normal radio, yeah. So he said, "Swamijī, can you give me one radio? A little one." At that time, people were learning these radios and going around. The whole village said, "Oh, there’s a radio!" So he said, "I give you Mahāprabhujī’s shawl." This I can give you. I said, "Oh, this is a very expensive radio." So please give it to me, this. It’s Mahāprabhujī’s, Mahāprabhujī’s... I was so... I got the whole world, and above everything, Mahāprabhujī’s cloth. Next time when I came, he was taking the bidi, the cigarette, but he had another one. So he said, "Please, can you give me this, yeah, because for my, let’s say, our tobacco, yeah." And he said, "Okay, I will bring it, but you can bring it to me from Jaipur." Or from Europe. So I gave him one lighter, and he gave me a beautiful, very nice cloth. When Mahāprabhujī was eating, he put one cloth on his legs. And that I have in Vienna. And that I have in Vienna. And there, like these shoes, this stick, these my clothes, another one, the shoes. What can I do more than this? And this stick, and then from the barīkhāṭu and also from the other near nipple, there was holy Gurujī’s water, where he also water, drinking water, this beautiful. This is beautiful, beautiful. This is always coming from that pot. This is like, if we have something, like a big vegetable, what is it? Pumpkin. And there are two kinds. One is little white and like this; you can make it for eating also. So it is like this, little down, and then lick this, and then come a little up. And this is, the sardus will be dry, they cut a little bit, and they have water, and it is going all. All you will see when you come to the Himalayas or somewhere in the Kumbha Melā, you will see how sādhus have this all. Kumbha Mela, Kumbha Mela... Out of all so many things, Mahāprabhujī, Holī Gurujī got the sand from Mahāprabhujī’s feet stop. So these things, it is that, that is for me, for myself, I said. And if you are now understood, and you have Mahāprabhujī and others, then it is also, I give you from my heart all those, and from that I have touched, I give it. In their other village, Mahāprabhujī lived for a few years. This village is a little bit small, and there is one house there from that king, his house. There was a beautiful room and a very nice bed, and Mahāprabhujī is there. It is a little like big, and Mahāprabhujī was also sleeping. But many people, they always slowly, slowly cut something and take it with them. And there was this big place where Mahāprabhujī was sitting and eating, all like this. So that one Mahāprabhujī’s disciple, his son, went to America, and he’s living there in America. Whenever I go to America, I go there and they are all families. They are coming and they give me immense, immense respect, and that’s because Mahāprabhujī sent this. And so, in that house there, they all went to America, and there is nobody taking care of it properly. So he came from America to India and nearby Nepal, and he came to me, "Swāmījī, I would like to give this bed of Mahāprabhujī." And he just brought it. You cannot believe how full of joy I was, and my tears. But they have put some different colors and this and that. And many birds, pigs, and bugs kited a little bit. He was there. Omapurī was there. And the whole family was there. They brought this holy Mahāprabhujī’s bed. And they gave it to Holī Gurujī’s room in Jadan. Then our Prayamana, our Vivek Prayamana, Puri, not Puri, Swami Yogīs, Swami Yogīs Puri in Vienna. Then he closed, and all colors he took away, very nicely, very nicely. And then slowly, slowly, which was broken by something, he took all nicely. So many he left and made so nice, all colors as it was Brahma Prabhujī’s. And it is in our room there. Mahāprabhā Mahāprabhā... He kept it, and we made a very nice, what do you call it, medallion. We made this medallion, and many, many bhaktas received it. Those who have not got, if you want respectfully, this I will give you. You can make a little piece of wood, you can make something, or in a little glass, put it also on the altar in meditation. So it is very important, and there are so many things Mahāprabhujī’s holy Gurujīs have given me, and you can’t believe that’s why all was in me from Mahāprabhujī, and the feeling of Devpurījī’s was Devpurījī’s where Devpurījī was sitting from the sand, also from the sand. So all these things are very important to me. So, because while sitting here, when you were all here, and very bhajans were singing, and my very dear, my dear disciples here from long, long years, maybe about 40 years or more, my disciples here, and their touch, and that touch of that is all the times there. And so it is, what I need, what I give, what I have, it is that Holy Gurujī has given me, and Mahāprabhujī, Devpurījī, I have not seen them, but I know they are in my here and now, Alakhpurījī. So, what I tell you now, I didn’t tell anybody in Italy that much. And still, there are many things, and I will give you one day more. So this is what I can give to you. And when I’m not anymore, it will be given to you all. You become like that. So there’s one bhajan. Guru Varame Chalun Sayon Jade Devadideśa Mahādeva kī Jai, Mādhavānandjī Bhagavān kī Jai, Alakhpurījī Mahādeva kī Jai, Satya Sanātanadharma kī Jai. Keep this in your mind, in your mind, in your heart, in your eyes, in your legs, etc. Trust, keep in memories, and this memory will take us to the cosmic light. Mahāprabhujī told, Holī Gurujī said, and that I told you, all the best, Hari Om.
