The Divali Festival

The light of divine grace illuminates the eternal truth. This celebration originates from the divine presence of Śiva, Viṣṇu, and Brahmā. God's grace manifested, allowing people to walk a new path at night, bringing the light of spiritual practice. Over time, people forgot this divine presence amidst worldly affairs. The observance involves gathering, where children are seated and it is said that God will come. The principle extends to all, as seen in the relationship between Kṛṣṇa and Rukmiṇī, which signifies a divine belonging for all devotees. The essence is the eternal, accessible truth.

"When everyone comes, the children sit down... they say, 'Yes, you do one thing: sit in your house, sit there, so that God will come.'"

"Rukmiṇī belongs to Kṛṣṇa. And that of Kṛṣṇa is Rukmiṇī. And Rukmiṇī belongs to all of us."

Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān kī, Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān kī, Dev Puruṣa Mahādev kī, Mādhavānandjī Bhagavān kī, Satya Sanātana Dharma kī. We have had a beautiful, beautiful year, very good for all of Yoga in Daily Life. And then, of course, for all of India and the whole world, we had this, our words to see that our all was looking very much, and the valley, and the valley is from the Bhagavān Śiva Brahman. So, when Lord Śiva, Lord Śiva, Lord Pārvatī and Lord Śiva were called to them, Lord Śiva, Lord Viṣṇu, Lord Brahmā, all of them said to Lord Śiva. And what happened was, God said to Rāma, and with Rāma, God said, and from God, he told in this way, everywhere, in the form of God, then also, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, all are forever there, but from there also, he said: When we see God in his body, we think of Śiva, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and all of them. That is why we are celebrating this day. From there it comes to us. What is the heart of today? What, and what did that Dīpāvalī do? Who were they? So from there, from there, this day, the day we see, this Dīvālī, with this Dīvālī, so in the whole world, it was with all the people, so they all went with them. So this is made by Lord Śiva, and Śiva is with Śiva, isn’t it? So he is with Śiva, whom we call our Rāma, and what does Rāma have to do with this? So, since this verse came, that one day, that God’s name, that God—today, the people who used to live here, they were all the humans in the world. God was calling them Viṣṇu. Viṣṇu said that this is ours. So he worshipped them and worshipped them in this way. And secondly, when God’s grace came from there, so when he came back, the people of the world saw that God had come back. So people were walking and coming at night as well. So there on the tree, on some other road, in the same way, at night, so that we could walk on this road. He was not there before, so from that time onwards, we have come to this sādhanā and its light for all of us. By doing this, all of us have come as soon as possible for the grace of God. Now we have had a lot, we have had this light, that too has happened, everything has happened, but it was not at that time. God and Rāma were in the whole world with Rāma, but gradually people forgot about them and started to take care of each other. But look at the Christians, they are also brought in the same way. They also come on Diwali, their Diwali, and what happens on that day? They come to their house, go to their house, all the people, children, children. When everyone comes, the children sit down, and their mothers, fathers, for all those children, they make something or the other for them. They make something or other for them. And after that, they say, "Yes, you do one thing: sit in your house, sit there, so that God will come," say Viṣṇu, or say Jesus, or whatever. So they were coming, what were they doing? So they all came and have this, like this. This was also from. Is sitting down, and when everyone comes in at that time, then everyone does direction, not like this, all of them. And then they say, "Yes, bring the children, bring them." Then what happened? Oh, in a minute, Baba Jī appeared, Jesus, but for you, for everyone, he gave and went. Is this not? Did everyone come or not in the evening? After that, in the morning, they would say that God has given us this and that. So, because of them, they got this and that. So, they got it in the morning. They gave it in the evening, but when they came in the morning, they were told what happened and what did not happen. So along with that, Lord Śiva and Śiva’s Purāṇa come from there. So what God has said, as we are seeing today, God Rāma has come to Rāma. And Rāma is Rāma. Rāma’s Rāma is Rāma. Om Rām Rām... Ram Ram... Kṛṣṇa and Rukmiṇī belong to both of them. Rukmiṇī and Kṛṣṇa. Krishna and Rukminī should be together. Who is the other one? Our disciples. They are their disciples. All of them, man, woman, whatever they call themselves, whatever work they do, see that cow’s milk, cow’s everything, and Lord Kṛṣṇa, and that of Kṛṣṇa is Rukmiṇī. And Rukmiṇī belongs to all of us. Now someone has said, and he has done, Rādhā. So Rādhā is there. Rādhā is a devotee, his disciple. She is his disciple. She is not his wife. She is not him. He is Rukmani. How long has Rukmani been going on like this? There was a time when Rukmaṇī was going on like this. Now, everyone is doing the same thing. Everyone has forgotten about Rukmiṇī. But she was not like that. She was good. She was with us. How did they come together? What happened? Lord Kṛṣṇa and Viṣṇu went away from there, and they came to Gujarat. And in Gujarat, near there, near the ocean, and so Rukmiṇī was there. She said, "Kṛṣṇa, he also comes here and there, people didn’t want him, not good." So that was that; it happened. And of course, we are doing everybody very good, and so therefore, in Gujarat, in Gujarat mostly, they are thinking always about Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa... And that is Rukmaṇī, Rukmaṇī... So in this way, the second thing someone has done, I don’t know what he has done, he will do it, he will do it. God is gone, he is there, he says, "What are you doing? My Rukmiṇī is with me." But all this is going on, so let’s go.
