Concentration on the heart

A gathering celebrates spiritual community and shared purpose. Guests are honored for their work and contributions, not merely their presence. A family from South India exemplifies generosity, maintaining a forest and giving freely. Another family from Rajasthan embodies service, dedicating land for animals and planning spiritual centers. The atmosphere here is described as heavenly, a blessing from the divine. Plans are shared to build a temple and establish a business presence in Europe, all dedicated to spiritual growth. The essence is unity, where work and devotion merge.

"Today, I am very lucky to have witnessed heaven on earth."

"You should all visit India, and in South India... it is still pure, and it is the place where you can see Lord Śiva’s many temples."

Madhavānandajī, Bhagavān, Kījā. These are my brothers. My family, they are from South India, and they are very great, very great. He is from Rajasthan, very near to Nepal, from Jadon. His father is a very… and now they have made something very nice, very great. So I will not tell you, but they will tell you. They will tell you where they are, what they are doing. Afterwards, he will tell you what it is. How was it this morning? Very nice, thank you. You were here for two days, and the others are also very good, even more than you. Why? How? You were all sitting only, and they were working—doing this and that—very good. Is it okay? All right. And then, another point: they are much better guests. Yes, they come to you and give something for you, and we go to working. We have a forest and vegetables, yes. And then another: they are very good cooks. Oh my god, how perfect the cooking is, and many things. We are all one; we are like brothers and sisters. We have peace, harmony, understanding. Every week other people come, and now some more will come because of the school. When they tell the students, "Stop, very good, thank you." So they were coming here to Europe, all over Europe. They had some work in many countries. How it is happening and how it is coming, he will tell us. But of course, we will tell only you. Yes. Why? Because they will always come here, and who will work everywhere? So they came; the first time they came to our ashram here. His father is very great, very great, and his mother also. His father made a very nice forest on some land, with so many nice fruits and this and that. And then they give everything to people. Please give to all animals, like this and that—nothing, no money, nothing. If we go one day to South India, then we will go to their house. He has such a great… he made one like a king. And they made it only for one person: for a marriage. Yes, so that was made very big, very great, everything. And it is their friend. He was at a very far distance, and for his daughter he wanted to arrange a marriage. So they will marry there, and her husband will also come from another city somewhere. So their parents, they… they don’t give to others any money for that—this house and everything. For his daughter, and very beautiful, and very great, and very spiritual, and everything. And his parents, they made so much money, so much money. Three days, no? Three days. That is for the daughter. That is the daughter, and those are the parents. And that’s friends. He made this whole big palace. Maybe I have it somewhere on your… On the phone, it is there. Yeah, he can show it. And he’s… they are three brothers, no? Two brothers? One is my cousin. Two brothers? I am the younger one. No, not this. Yeah, three brothers. Three brothers. Yeah, my father. One is near Nipple? No, Nipple, but… Jadon. Jadon. And in Jadon, he has that much land, five times more like this. And his father, he was the king of some persons, for him, something… what is it, no? He was always in the kingdom, Jodhpur Rājā. Yeah, Jodhpur Mahārājā. And his father actually served in Jodhpur and in the royal family. And the nipple, Jadon, near Jadon, she has land, so much big land. And now, what did his father say? And he said, "What do you do?" So he gives all cows and animals and elk, all for them, you know, so that they can keep eating the grass and also have some land. So he gives all for animals, everything. And his two brothers, one is also very much, very great, and he is working in software. Not this one. Ah, he’s in Hyderabad. Yes. He’s doing dry fruit business. And so, fruits and from the other net, that is very nice, great, great. And his mother is, you can say, like Sītā. Bhagavān Śiva, like this, his mother. You know Umāpurī? She’s not here. And his mother, she’s eating only once. And early morning, 9 o’clock morning? She gets up at 4 o’clock. Four o’clock. Yes, and she’s washing and this and that and pūjā and like this. And at seven o’clock, I think, she sits herself, and she’s eating slowly, slowly, very nicely. So it is like a very, very spiritual people. It is like a goddess. May I go now to Jadon for five days? So I think that his mother and his father will come there. So there are many people, many people in many countries, like in India also, how many people there, and some like this and like that. So we will go to South India one day in one year, thank you. And this is that for the beginning for our home ashram ceremonies. Then we will go, very nice. Now, this atmosphere here, he didn’t tell me anything. He was just coming directly here. And like this, and he told me, "I didn’t say that." Oh, like this, he didn’t say, "I feel it." Yeah, he didn’t say, "I feel it." It was literally like heaven. I don’t know how much audible I am, but it is like heaven that you have with Prabhujī, and such a beautiful location. So please, I think you will, yes, you will take care of it. No, it’s okay, I will stand and do it. All of you, I am very humbled to be here today with our Lord Prabhujī, which is… oh, you have the mic? Hello, how is it? Hari Om, all of you sitting here. Today, I am very lucky to have witnessed heaven on earth. I don’t know how many of you have come to Jadon or seen it. It is equally nice and beautiful, and with Prabhujī’s āśīrvāda, it is coming out very nicely, and we are all expecting it to open very soon. I have not planned my trip here today, but it is because of Prabhujī’s āśīrvāda that I am here today and able to witness this beautiful environment, and I think it is heaven or not, that is the only thing I can say. I didn’t plan to go, but it is. Thanks to the blessing of Mahāprabhujī and Śiva, I was able to come, and the only thing they can say is that it is heaven on earth. You should all visit India, and in South India, we were just discussing, maybe Prabhujī will have a temple here very soon. He just gave the idea to me, and maybe we will start working on it. Sometimes we will come for sure. From South India, you know, in South India, we will tell you a little bit how this South India, and he said that would be very good, and we will make this temple like that. South India is undisturbed by the invasions that happened in India, so it is still pure, and it is the place where you can see Lord Śiva’s many temples. From that, we wish to bring one pearl here for this āśram. There are many temples in the south of India, concentrating on Lord Śiva. And I would recommend you, if you are visiting India, to come to the south of India. So I belong to Rajasthan, but in the last 40 years I have worked in the south of India. We also have many gauśālās, how you say, how Prabhujī is already running in Jadan. We also have in the south many gauśālās, and you should visit them and awaken your most spiritual well-being from inside. We also have plans to open the Jādan Āśram in a very short span, and I’m assuming there will be many people from here who will come to Jādan. At that time, you can also plan to come down south, and we are more welcoming you because now Prabhujī has a stay in the south of India also. So, please welcome, and thank you for this opportunity for letting me speak. Thank you. And then the other one, yeah, about your work, what you are doing. Oh, I should tell it? It’s okay? Yes, please. So I will just give you a brief about what we do, because Svāmījī has told me to give you a brief. We have about four factories in the south of India. We are mainly into producing steel, all kinds of steel products, and it is manufactured in India, is shipped to Germany, the UK, or maybe Sweden, and distributed across the globe. And now we also have an office in Germany. We also plan to start our service center, or how to say, a factory by the end of this year in Germany. We will do this at the end of this year or early next year, and once Prabhujī is available, He will also bless us at the factory opening in Germany, maybe early next year. Thank you. At the end of this year or at the beginning of next year. And Svāmījī, if he has the opportunity, will come there to open it up for me. Thank you. At present, we are employing about a thousand people in the south of India, working for various divisions of our company, and we wish to do something similar in Europe. With the blessing of Svāmījī, we hope that we will do it very soon. Thank you all. Thank you. You want to have some questions? Have you any questions? It’s in Bangalore. How many times was I in Bangalore? And his father and this, they are also from there. So we will have some good bhajans. The best bhajans, okay? Not every day are you the same, but now you are different. Not every day is this okay. Śraddhā sunnaya jagadu mujhe, Māta pitā moje pedakiyā, Sāgara me citra cidkāya diyā… Prabhujī, śaraṇa apari Prabhujī, śaraṇa akadamokhipa… Shabbat Shalom. Gurujī Śabda Sunnaḥ… Very nice. Come on.
