Sat sanga

The power of satsaṅga lies in gathering in truth. The recent global hardship was a manifestation of Kali Yuga, a dark age where everything breaks. I was traveling but was sent to my home country. Through it all, we were with God, who provides. "Sat" means truth. A Satguru embodies this truth. Many practice yoga and follow gurus, each with a name and lineage. We are all human, yet distinctions exist through names and relationships. In the ashram, you become family. Satsaṅga is the company of truth, where we are all together in goodness. This gathering is a satsaṅg. Maintaining this truthful connection requires constant practice, or it is lost when you leave. The physical body is temporary and turns to dust. The name, however, endures beyond the body, like a memory that remains after a person is gone. Therefore, hold to the truth of the name. Satsaṅga is truth together.

"Sat means truth, and this truth is like that."

"The body will slowly, slowly go... but your name will not go anywhere."

My dears, I am very happy. For nearly four years, it was not like this. I would come, and they would give, but we know we had those problems—Corona, Corona. It happened all around the whole world. Some may say this is not good medicine or something, and it is okay for one place or another. But, my dears, it was for everybody, the whole world. I was here in New Zealand, and from there I wanted to come further, but everything was broken. They told everyone, "Please, everyone should go to their country." There was an Australian watch already, but there still is not. They thought we would be good, and we sent them everyone. So, my disciples and I were going there. But we took that, and then after that, everyone had to go to their country. Someone took me to India because I am Indian, but I was going to Australia. So, from there, this further care. My dears, I know you all know everything, but I just want to tell you: yes, it was very hard, very hard. I think in your country it was also, no? It was very much. All hospitals were full, all were full. People did not say to go in, only the person who is in problems. And everywhere it was said, "This is a Kali Yuga." Kali Yuga. Kali Yuga means there is in India and like this, so black, everything is black. It will break, everything. How to go, how to do? My disciples, all from the many countries around the world there, they were also saying, "Swāmījī." I said, "No problems. We are here with Bhagavān, God, and that God will give us everything if we, how we are." And in that, my Satguru, my Guru—so, my Guru—every Guru is called a Satguru. Sat. What is the word "sat"? Sat means truth. So, sat, Satpurnima, sat, everything. So this is called sat. Sat means truth, and this truth is like that. So, what was there? There were two people. One is all who was practiced and was yogic, everything: no eating meat, no alcohol, and this and that, and every day practice yoga. Practice, and this yoga... Why? What we see yoga, yoga... Yoga is sanātan, so everyone, when we say yoga in daily life, yoga in daily life, I myself, I am telling you that when I came into this, many, many countries everywhere, and that time I was so very strong, little boy, so really about this, but I will not tell how it was. And there, everyone where I was practicing, and this and that, and they said I was on the other side, and so, "What do you want? Yoga? What, what are you doing? Walking? Walk?" So I said, "Yoga in daily life." Now, every person who practices yoga... Yes, it is, but it was that every guru... So you have in your office here also, you have some yoga for that, their guru. But who is that? Now you are all sitting here, and you all are different. And who is it? She is herself, and there is the other one, her husband. They are two now. That he is also there, one man sitting there, and it means that it tells his name. There is somebody else, his name is different, and then there is some other one sitting. There is also another, but we are all human. But how to know? And therefore, many, many yogīs, they gave their name. How? What? They live, and that was that. All their gurus, their gurus, how, where, and if you take your gurus, okay? Another one said it is his gurus, yes. All is like this. My wife is here, and his wife is there, and his wife is that, but we are all, we are the life. Every girl or boy, that’s why. Why is there a name? Name means, what is our world? And so, for example, where are you from? I am Australian. Now, how many people in all these countries? But there is one in these countries. Others are going to other countries, but that is one thing. One in all and all in one. Everybody is giving, bringing from their sādhus or any yogīs or any very good person. Here they are, all very good. But we have to have that name, that "my child is yes, my child." And that is my child. Oh, your child is there. Therefore, we should know where, what, and how we do. And according to that, we can do. Someone is not a yogī, that is not this, they are that, they are that, everything. And for that, it will be as it is. It will be. And in that, it is said that all is all, but everyone has the name and every color. This is the first thing that we have to know in our āśram here. That you come in ashram, then you are my friend, my brother, my disciple, my everything in this ashram. But you are inside, and in that. So, Satsaṅga, that Satsaṅga, Satsaṅga,... Sat, so Sat means we are all Sat Saṅgha. Sat, we are all Sat Saṅgha. Saṅgha, we are all came from the other part. Anywhere my girl there, my girl there, my country is there. Everywhere we are, we are all. And how further we call satsaṅg? So, saṅg, satya, satya. So, all they are satya coming. I want to come here, here I am coming here. So, sat, sat, sat. And what we say? Satya? The purity is good, very good. Satsaṅg. Now saṅgha, this is a word, saṅgha. Satsaṅg, what does that mean? Now we are all together. We are all good. You are good. He is good. That is good. My good. Every we are. And now we are here. So satya saṅga. Satya saṅga. Satya saṅgas. Sat means truth. Satsaṅga, truth. Each and every word should be such that we should know the truth. That truth is very important. So it is said, we are telling something, but not right. Sat, sat is very important. Satsaṅga. Then it is everyone in that, in your heart. The heart is here. This morning I was giving a lecture, and there were many other people there, so it was a satsaṅg. If there is one talk, this and that, but not this and that, and therefore, sādhus, sādhu, sādh, satsaṅg, satsaṅg, then it’s either if you’re a sanyāsī or no sanyāsī, husband or no husband, everything. But if we have that sattva saṅgha, then it is everything great. And so, sattva saṅgha—now we are in this saṅgha, and that will be all good. And again, when we go out, then comes something not good. It was not good; that’s okay. So you see, it means it is not in. The heart, and that is that: always practice, practice... Practice, and everything, otherwise it is not good. So in this, you are all of you, I see you very good ones, and I hope you will also be good ones. But how is that? I don’t know. Maybe sometimes said, "No, no... no." Then it is said, "Oh, it’s not like that." But we, all our disciples, we are like this. And then it was said that every yogī, and this yogī is because the many, many sādhus, they must show their name. And with that, they are coming, all sadhus, and everybody has their name and their ashram and their house and their disciples, with them and their name, and so this is that guru. This is that guru’s. That is the guru. But we have our name. The name is very, very big. What does that mean? Let’s say Bhagavān Śiva. You know Bhagavān Śiva? Śivaṇa. The Shiva name, not the body. Vishnu, yes, Vishnu forever, but not this body. So, everywhere, how long can we be? How long will our body go? Then there is nothing. But when your life dies, it is said, his body is gone. And this body again, it will become like I told yesterday or day before yesterday. The earth became, you know, one was giving, you know, what was that? Already, three days before, I think, or four. And I told what is there. Yes, even a dog. And because I want to tell the truth. And so that, and then she died, the dog died, the hole, everything was gone. Nothing. It became just dust. Also, here it was, we were, nothing we got. So, so that our body, it is only, sometimes, yeah, we can see a photo. Our photo, isn’t it? Or statue, isn’t it? But still, there is nothing. So the body and everybody is exactly everybody’s also, and then if I am there and I will be there and I’m coming, that is called Guru Śruti. And that is, you have me and all. My name is that, so name, you know, the name. And name is much. Better than the body, yes. Your body is just for how long? It will be gone, but your name will not go anywhere. Your name is there, yes: your mother, your father, your children, your friends, etc., etc., name. Someone died, and people did not know them, and the person was somewhere else. And after 10 years, this person and their friends, very good friends, came to his house, and they said, "What?" So we said, "My name, his name, which should I tell you? Your name?" So we came in their house, and he said, "Where is my, what is the name?" Take me the name. Anybody? Yamunā. So please, we go. Oh, Yamuna, very good shop, and everything. And I will come home there. And it was for five years, and she said, "Where is that?" She said she is not anymore, but the name is there. Yes, the name is there, and this name will remain forever. You want to be yourself? Then let yourself to that. Hold it. Hold thy name. This body will slowly, slowly go. Then is that? And if you don’t know, you will forget, and that is gone, and this and that, so in this is not so good satsaṅg. So sat is truth, and saṅgha, we are all together, yes. Always you can tell any time. So, satsaṅg, Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān kī, Dev. Puruṣa Mahādeva kī, Mādhāvanājī Bhagavān kī, Alak Puruṣa Mahādeva kī, Śyāvara Rāma Candra Bhagavān kī, Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān kī, Satya Sanātana Dharma kī, Om, Om,... Om. Bhagavān, Śabī, all, Jesus, scissors, and you know the scissors, and how was, and how we are living about for that. Different, aren’t I? So, anyhow, further I will not give. So we will, as we, today we are. Today we are for two, two words. Satsaṅg, okay? Hari Om.
