We come and go

A spiritual talk and community address in a holy place after a long absence.

"After a long time, we are again here—nearly about three years or a little more. We were all very much thinking about when we would come here for our practice, yoga, etc."

"The memory, the memory remains... But they are gone. Their body is gone. But they remain. What? Their name. Their name. And this name remains forever."

Swami Maheshvaranandji addresses a gathering, reflecting on the long-awaited return to a sacred location and honoring the legacy of devotees like Krishnananda. He discusses the eternal nature of the Guru's name, the human journey from animal-like origins to spiritual awareness, and offers guidance on diet, dress, and the importance of practice for health and spiritual growth. The talk includes personal observations and calls for communal participation.

We were all very much thinking about when we would come here for our practice, yoga, etc., and now we have today that we again came to this beautiful, holy place for our programs. For many years we were here giving yoga exercises, sometimes for three years, different one-year programs, three-time programs or more. Our dear, our very great brother, Kṛṣṇānanda... I came a long time with Kṛṣṇānanda and his wife. Both of them were working very much all the time. We went through the whole of Hungary. Many, many Hungarian people went because they were very old in this. Some went to other countries. In all your countries, this was very important, which Kṛṣṇānanda did very much. Through these Christians who came to practice yoga very nicely, spiritually, and so many, many people... into many, many places of your country, and everywhere in this country was very much operated through Kṛṣṇānanda and our brothers, others from here, also a few beginning from that side. Here in this place where we are, under this hall, he says Kṛṣṇānanda has come and told how and how we will do. He had many great, good people here also, in this place and in other places. It is like this: the memory, the memory remains. So it is like also Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva—Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, and all others. But they are gone. Their body is gone. But they remain. What? Their name. Their name. And this name remains forever. And many others: many siddhās, sādhus, guru-paramā, Mahāprabhujī, Devapurījī, Mādhavānandjī Bābājī, Alakpurījī, and more sādhus, great, very great. I always, all people in the other countries, everywhere, there are many Svāmīs. And these Svāmīs or Gurus, they must not have too many disciples, but those Gurus, they are real ones. Others who come, and they are many, are not from the Gurus, but they are also learning from that. But Sanātana Dharma, Dau Sādhu Sant, and there is that, it is said: Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, and Lakṣmaṇa, etc. But beyond that is Sanātana Dharma Guru. Guru is that, what we said, even for Bhagavān Viṣṇu. So, you know: "Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśa, Varāha." So, that is the final. And so, in many countries, many where the religious, very good religions, their inner, they know that it is a God or how. So, in this, we also, you and me and all of us, have learned many things, we have seen many things, and we are all sitting here. We are like the birds, and when the bird is sitting in the house, above the house, and when this bird is there, we don't know which direction this tree will fly away. And so we are all like birds. We like this. But we don't know when we will, or in which direction we will fly—when, where, besides, and how it will remain. This is only just our body. And in the body, everything, it was only four times. It is said: "Jīva Jīva Bhakṣyate, Jīva Jīva Bhakṣyate." All living beings, all animals, anything in the ocean, in the above, in the here, all we are, we come, we go, we come, etc. But it is said, for this, these are jīva-jīva-bhakṣa. All creatures are kidding, eating each other, all coming, going, coming, going. So there is coming then Śiva, Bhagavān Śiva. Then, Śiva said, Śiva said that we are human. And at that time, it is said, what is a human? Human means that they know very much in their brain, all your lectures, your names, whatever you can hear. We know what to do, what not to do. So it was like animals are different and humans are just. But it is said that, as it is, humans are going, and we know that how much is coming, that slowly, slowly, this was like these animals, these animals, and this Māyā, Parabrahma, Paramātmā, so they are coming slowly, coming up, not that they immediately come. And so they come in slowly, they think like this. And there was lots of water everywhere. So it was not so human-like at first. But slowly, slowly, they came. Many times, you can see, people are giving pictures and anything. Said how they come, this and like this, slowly, and then this. And now we are on this, we are again on that point. In this point we came, we humans, how much knowledge, and more and more, many, many ages we are already also learning and learning very much science. Yes, and still we humans are doing many things. But there it is said, we humans are working very hard, and science and so on, but they do not. That we, how we are going in the heart to God, Bhagavān, that we catch other. We should not do this and that, but we should have our self come back again. And it's like above the sun, that is. And so this is, that is the others, the speakers, and like it is all, or the satsaṅg, bhajan, guru, they. So they are also very great, I don't say. Humans are all very good. Doctors, very good. Other parkas, they are very good. Professors, everything is good, very good. I don't say that it's not good, but the other one is that, the coming is that, Sadguru Śānta Ṛṣi Muni Mahāpuruṣa. Mahāpuruṣa means a great, mahā, that Parabrahma, and so you are all for me. I tell you that you are on the path. We are on this path, but sometimes, while doing something again, we can go wrong. It is not easy nowadays for people because they have other ways, good dress, and this and that, and now you see. All the humans look at that. You are also not doing good with your dress. Everyone's buttocks, everybody, you know what? I buttock and everybody, they are making up a monkey, and then not very big, it is coming up, and then they coming up human. It is very good, everything. But you know, you will see, it is not very easy, long, but there is a side where you can say, when you were born, let's say about 25 or 100 years, your dress was so good. We are going to the hospital, or to the restaurant, or not the restaurant, somewhere to bring our colors and everything. And you know how beautiful everybody is coming. Humans are a beauty, and the beauty of that beauty is our dress. And in this dress, when he was marrying, when he was married, suppose how it was. I see your Christians also going to the church, a beautiful church. And they come in their place there. And there comes what you call the priest. Yes, he will come. Make how many? How nicely making everything, and how nicely they have good dress and this and all others. How beautiful, and it is they are very happy, and they should be very happy. And you know that we come, we saw, we see. One person, this boy or girl, both, and how they are beautiful, and we are happy and very good. And then they said, "Okay, we want to marry." And when we marry, it means we become one, yes. And what does it mean? We come to that: we are now like... One man and one woman, we are two, become families. It means these children come, or this and that, and how happily we are doing, and everyone is very good. Sometimes, yes, some like this angry or this, okay, but how good and beautiful have you in your house? Now see in your dresses, how beautiful. Dresses of your grandfather, grandfathers, how? There it was. What are you doing there? Maybe you are through, so this is, you can say, it is okay. And what I said, and you'd say this is different, okay? But you see, all are bāṭaṅg. We have known that we have given up in three years because we were not all there. So everybody, their bāṭaṅg has come again. Our yoga dress, how to make that? That's very good. That was, and now, please, you should come. Have you somebody, or have you all cut it all like this? Who is there? Can you show me? Stand up, come. Yes. Yes. So this is a man. It is human. Yeah. It is human, and it is a man. And how nicely it looks, how very nice. Yes. And there's another one. Oh, you are also very good. Thank you very much. Hari Om. Yeah. Thank you. And now, his white dress—who is that? Can you stand up? Yes. Very beautiful fight. White, very nice. Very nice. Very good. So, you have all our yoga people are very good. Some people have not understood, and so they will tell something. Next tomorrow, it will be great things come better. It is well. Anyway, one day we will die, and when we die, if we take dress out or in, it doesn't matter. So your way was very good, very, very much. I see in Hungary, nice dressing. Where are these very good? And Austrian, very good; Croatian, very good; everything. And you know that there is, even though, like for example Austria, and in Austria, in Austria, that other side of this, other side, so there is even, they have different, what is that, cat on the head, like something. So one has this, others have that, they are all gone, very nice. That is humanity, very beautiful. This is like this, that is how people do not think now. So, we will do very well. It doesn't matter who is who. We dress, which is very good, you know. When we are coming, look at the Māṭājī. Yes, she is very good, very good, yes, yeah. And there is one more also, very good. So, in this means, this is not like that, but it has to be. You are good. There is no bad, nothing, but it is very good. And then we meditate, everything is very great, very good also. So, we will all see and think. But of course, you know that when I came to Hungary, that is how many days, and also the other side. So all very good and best, very good. But still, people did not know they were eating meat and this and that. And when I came, so in one, two years, so many days, and Holī Gurujī, when he's come, and now you can see, they were telling me, "Please, can you not eat the meat? Eat it." I said, "No, that is not." And you know how many people around the whole world? Many people became, they don't eat meat, and... This and that, and even we have got something. What is that? It is the... what is that? Gay vegan? The vegan, vegan, and that even they don't get the, yeah, so the honeys, so their honeys. If they said, "Please don't take their honey," many people take our honey, take it and give sugar. That's not good. So they are not doing, not taking the, so many things we understood, people understood very little, and now you know how much problems there are, and cancers, very much cancers, and many things, and all very much we have chemicals, and these chemicals are not good, and that's why we are becoming. But who can tell all people they will do it? So we can only try. We will not eat, and we will have again see good meditation, and this and that, and good things. And so, your children, when your child is in your stomach inside, then you should give the good things, you know, that our disciples here in, uh, in our, um, in our corona—not corona—that they are, we are, our children, they are chelā, yeah. And there are certain children, I try them, and they, how great and strong and very good. Power and everything, and that is all. What kind of nourishment? So I brought from India how they did, how much my mother, what they were giving my brother, my second, third mother, mother, etc. We were, so we were six brothers and these others. Also, and what kind of arrangements they are taking. And my Mānsā Devī, she will tell you what kind of all names, and like this and like this. If you will do, we can bring there good things, and then you will see how you and your children will be good. And automatically, they will have very great health, and they will be very pure in their upper self. So, like this, we always tell many people, and if someone doesn't like it, please, you can do what you want. But I think it is good that we will practice on this all the time. And we are practicing. We will have very nice classes. All practice is very good. Like we have classes, we will ask about these classes. Like in Sri Lanka, there, so here we will do very good, so that all we again come here, not only one and two. We always doing on one other place there, so there is the people are practicing, no? Yes, you know that? Can you tell me, please? So one is this, and others are so. We have three very practicing three. And that is very good. We should practice, and we will practice now. We will practice. It is very good for health first, and for all spiritual good thinking. And we will go further to take, how we can take, not just āsanas and prāṇāyāma, but more, something very much. That we will learn here, very much. And you will help me, and I will give you exercises and everything. We will do so. That's very good. Thank you very much, and I am very happy to see you all. Hari Om.
