Live a healthy and spiritual life

Welcome to this gathering on spiritual progress and practice.

A global community has come together after a period of separation. Observing the growth in practice, especially outside India, is heartening. Early encounters revealed different lifestyles, yet many embraced change, giving up meat and alcohol, leading to health and goodness. This reflects a human evolution from basic existence toward higher consciousness, guided by divine knowledge. Humanity has advanced greatly in science and material development. Alongside this worldly path exists the distinct, ancient path of yogic science, now spreading through Sanātana Dharma across all countries. Many from various nations now live as sādhus, learning peace and purity in āśrams. This understanding deepens as more engage with these practices from within.

"Then came Bhagavān Śiva, who gave this to humans."

"In a few years now, we will see that we will all come to good in this world."

Welcome to all our sisters, mothers, friends, and guests from many countries—Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Canada, London, and all of Europe. This gathering represents a great spirituality, and many of you have come from a long distance. Here in this large ashram, we find peace, harmony, concentration, and many things. I am so happy to see you, my dears; it is a great thing. I know that for nearly three years, we faced a disease—what we call corona—which is why we could not come to many programs. But now, thanks to Mahāprabhujī, we are all here. I myself was in different places, but it does not matter where I was sitting. We were all in different places, yet all were practicing. When I was in India, people asked me, "How much are you practicing?" Well, they said, "Not always." That may be so. India is very great and very big, with great yogīs and students. But I am here outside India, and I see that you all have understood and have begun to practice yoga. When I first came to different countries throughout Europe, America, and so on, there were some yogīs and people, but not many. In Europe, most who came to yoga were still eating meat and drinking alcohol. It is their country; why should they not? But I told them alcohol, meat, and such things are not good. People began to say, "Okay, we will not consume alcohol," and many other things. They are beautiful. Telling one, then two, in these countries, I have seen many people who are now elderly but who, from about thirty years ago or more, gave up meat. They are now very healthy and good, and there are many such people around the whole world. It begins like this. It is very good if we live in a healthy way—and not only healthy, for anyone can be healthy—but it is said that all animals and all people who drink and eat meat and such things are like animals. All creatures do this. Then came Bhagavān Śiva, who gave this [knowledge] to humans. We humans have many different names and aspects. It is said: become a human and you will progress further into Parabrahman, Brahmatmā. This was not easy. Slowly, slowly it came. In the country where this is, there was once much water, or what we call earth, very much. There was not so much grain as in this land. Many animals were living in caves at that time. But slowly, slowly, we see we have come to a very good state. We are good in all countries, very good. All humans have become very great, with great science and everything. It is great; we are very great. But that is another thing—that is sanātana. Those who come to that, like yogīs, have another path. So, we have one path for scientists and such, and another for yogīs. There are many yogīs, but they are different. Both are very great in the world. I also say that all we are doing in science and such—doctors and many other things—is very great. But nearby, there is yogic science. This has now become divided into parts, and that is why they began to bring and give knowledge through Sanātana Dharma, Śiva, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, etc., God, as we say. You know, now after many years, they speak of one religion, two religions, or this and that. In this, we know that everyone knows everything. It is not only India now; it is in many different countries. There are yogīs who are very great. They are practicing and thinking deeply from the inner self, knowing the human. There we can know and understand everything, and many are coming to this part of the practice. In all countries, there are many, many yogīs. They are like great sādhus, living in many countries, and they are very great, and so is our actualization. We also have many āśrams in many countries. We learn good things and remain very peaceful—with no meat, no alcohol, and so on. Not only me, there are many, and not only Indians, but people from other countries also become sanyāsīs and sādhus. They are very great, and they give. There is more understanding nowadays in Indians than here, yes, because either not or yes. So they have brought so many things, and many people from other countries are bringing this yogic science—I am telling you. Now, they are going to India, and people in India are giving them exercises and things very much. For example, what they said: there is Hare Kṛṣṇa. This has given the name Hare Kṛṣṇa, very spiritual, to many. There was one sādhu who came to other countries and made, so Prabhupāda, so that he brought it like this. Now, as I think—I hope not, but I think 100% in my mind—all those who came gave up all meat and alcohol and such. They were getting cows, giving love to cows, helping, and everything. In many, many countries, for about, let's say, 80 years, he was doing this. So, Hare Krishna. They, Krishna, Rukmiṇī, and others—that is what it is. Rādhā, Rādhā, Rādhā. There are many. Here in this country where I am sitting, there have been certain places from what we call the sādhus, and this, yes, Kṛṣṇa. Hare Krishna. So, the people, not only in India, but they came also more from there, and they came more back this. So people are thinking that no, some are not good on this and this. It is not naked; they are very good. They are very good, and we are also. Look, we are living here, our yoga entire life and all our things. How far we are, everywhere we are happy and do nice. And so, it will come again. Kali Yuga began long ago and has been very, but now it has come that Sanātana Dharma or Bābādmicek Kṛṣṇa or something like this, and many, many others, we are coming up very much. In a few years now, we will see that we will all come to good in this world. So, let us come. We bring all good: our humans, animals, forests, etc. So, in our satsaṅg, or in our meditation, what are we doing? We are cleaning negativities, and purities come into our heart. We are sitting in yoga class. This is different, but we are going all in for this—for peace, harmony, and good things. That is why I am very happy to see you, my dears. We will have a few days, and then I am going to other countries also, so I will be coming and going. Very good. Thank you very much that you all came. There will be some very great exercises, and many things will come. So thank you, and I wish you all the best. Thank you very much for joining us.
