The opening of Om Ashram is coming soon

We must create a sacred, physical reminder for the global opening of the Oṁ Ashram, a symbol of peace for all beings. This idea came from contemplating purity, like the snow. Our work in Yoga in Daily Life brings power and peace to everyone, everywhere. I traveled with my Guru and received this universal practice's name long ago. Now, we must decide on an object, like a mālā, to mark this holy occasion so all disciples, even those not in India, can forever remember this divine moment. It will be a light for peace and harmony for families, humans, animals, and the entire world. This is for our global community. Think carefully and suggest what this item should be.

"Let's do Yoga in Daily Life."

"We will bring peace, peace, and peace for all of us."

Oṁ Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān kī, Dev Purīśamadeva kī, Mādhavānandajī Bhagavān kī, Satya Sanātana Dharma kī, Oṁ Śānti, Śānti, Śānti. It is a beautiful day. We saw the snow, which brought a beautiful, pure white. It all comes from the ocean, not from above. It is beautiful; we all liked it. There will be more again. We shall always come to see this purity, which is the very essence of beauty—not dark, but pure. Our practice of yoga in daily life involves much work. As I mentioned yesterday, you know that everyone will one day reach their home when they wish. I will have to do it as well. It is good that it will bring power and peace. The sādhus, gurus, and all pure people will bring this to Gibbandi. That is very nice. I have been thinking deeply. I wish to see if one of you, my dear disciples, can suggest what we might write or create. I was thinking the whole night. Everyone can tell something. But what? How will it be? It will be good. Even if someone says no, or this and that, when we all come together and say yes, we are all in agreement, it will be very good. This is not for something small; it is for the whole of life. It will go on within you, with you—no, it will go within, to the heaven above, which is even further. We should find a nice word, not like "mine" and "yours," though of course we are "mine and yours." We will bring this something. I very much wish you would tell us soon, as this is coming to our yoga and daily life centers, yoga ashrams, and so on. We will do something significant, and it will spread everywhere. You are very good disciples. We always see each other, we are coming together, and we should think very nicely from within. What we do, there is nowhere else like it. Everyone will take the same thing. Do you understand me? I came to Europe with Holy Gurujī. We traveled across all these countries. One day, we received a very good name for our yoga practice: "Yoga in Daily Life." This is the practice for everyday yoga, for our peaceful, pure, clean life. It is for every religion, every country, and all men and women. I received this at that time from a woman in Czechia; she has since died, and her brother is also involved. We were many people together, and we said, "Let's do Yoga in Daily Life." Now you know it is everywhere. Similarly, we have done this in many countries around the whole world. We have taught this as "Yoga in Daily Life." Now, all my disciples, you are very dedicated. Those from a very long time, or those who are very good and said "Yes," are always involved with me, our swamis, and you disciples. For our yogīs, we have given our Oṁ Śānti, and Oṁ Śānti is very great. It will be for the whole world. You will not have to say much; it is not necessary. You have made this very good. We always come again to our yoga center. I would like to give something—perhaps something in hand, again a mālā, or something small like that. We would like to have this now in this year and give it to you all nicely. Those who are not there will be here; you will come. We are planning a day, a very nice day, and we will give it to all those who were not in India. We will do it here, everywhere. This is because when we went to Mādhavānandajī's, and finally to Ālak Purījī's—Sir Ālak Purījī's—everyone knows it. But how nicely we made it! Again, I brought such a thing from Ālakpurījīs. At Ālakpurījī's, my disciples were there with me. Ārṣadevī was there all the time. When we first came, all of us were at Ālakpurījī's place like that. So, every person also. We are very far, yet near to everything, and we will do this. So, we will do something. Tell me. I will tell them when I go to India now. We will be like... let's say, these are Hindus, Brahmins, Christians, and others—all people like this. We are making it like that now. Everyone will come to this point. What is that point for? For peace, harmony, understanding, peace, and harmony for the families, for the humans, for the animals, for the birds, for everything. We will put such a light in that everything. It will be for us, and we will put it here. This is ours. We will say only that it was one of those, but we are doing it like this. It will be that the whole world has this Yoga in Daily Life. And in that, our name will be... it will be that. That is our temple, very much, in Jadan. The Jadan Ashram is great. You will be there. It is you, and this will become like this: the divine and the holy and everything. This is very good. That is what I was thinking. Do you understand now? I understand that you understand. Now, please, can you tell? With the big help of Gurudev, I hopefully understand the situation better. The way I understand it is that there will be a big celebration for the opening of the ashram in Jadan, India. Also, for those not able to be there, there will be some sort of ceremony throughout the world, which will give us, perhaps on a physical level, something to remember this occasion for all time, for the rest of life. It is like something all Americans remember—where they were when President Kennedy was shot. They remember that moment, where they were at that time. So we will have something, maybe like a mālā or something physical, to remember this holy occasion of opening the Oṁ Āśram, the importance of Yoga in Daily Life for us and the whole world. So please think about it, because Gurudev is asking us to think: what could it be, that physical matter which will remind us for the rest of life of this holy occasion? Is it correct, Gurudev? Yeah, you can tell them. The form in which it will be organized throughout the world will appear; it will come definitely. But it will be connected with the opening of Oṁ Ashram and celebrated everywhere. So even those who can't travel would not lose this holy, divine moment. Did you understand? Tell them it is something for the whole world. We will do something... not just for humans, but for animals too. Like we have the well-wagon, the wagon within the wagon, so that they are not killing so many animals, and so on. In the same values, we are here. We will bring peace, peace, and peace for all of us. Without peace, it will not be good. So, tell me now. Everybody think of something, a few words, and give it tomorrow or in the evening. Not in the office here, but without the office, okay? We will speak on it like this. Please inform all our people. First, today and in these two days, we will think very nicely. Then we will inform our people who were not here with us. We will tell them how. If they think of something, how we are doing and what, it will be very great in this. We are that. We are the great, the holy persons. We will be that all the time. Did you understand? So now we shall practice more. You did very well. I came ten minutes late because I was doing some work and had some leg issue, but it is good. Now we will practice. We all know that first comes the heart, our heart. So, sit in meditation, and we will do that, okay?
