We gather in a simple room with a window, ready to hear a girl sing. A voice gently reminds us, “Always remember to think of the most famous master, to pray to the most famous master.” She will sing first. Yes, let us begin. The opening song rises: Sumukho Gaṇanāmi Gurudeva. Its meaning unfolds: Remember always that most renowned master, pray to that master. He is the supreme lord of the Gaṇas; worship his feet. Gaṇapati is the god of all assemblies and hosts, the giver of bliss. Please help me bring my work to success. Please help me begin all my undertakings successfully. You are the ruler of this universe. I pray that you dwell in every cell of my body. He calls your name, and the longing for the highest knowledge awakens. The Satguru Swami is always present wherever I look. This is also declared by the Vedas and the holy scriptures. Śrī Devpurījī is the formless Nārāyaṇa. He is everywhere. Swami Deep teaches us, and this is my own experience. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān kī jai! Now a bhajan from Maṅgalāljī, a disciple of Mahāprabhujī: Gurudeva Sadānandamayī. O Gurudev, take me under your shoulder and remove all my sorrows. O Gurudev, have mercy on me and remove all my troubles. I own nobody—neither father, mother, nor friend. O Gurudev, please protect me from this net of māyā. Upon this vast ocean of saṃsāra, a mighty storm rages. Please, Gurudev, be so merciful that my boat does not break. I have just one request: I can do either japa or dhyāna—please destroy my dualities. O Gurudev, highest of the three deeps, I am under your shoulder. This is my request from Maṅgīlāl: Please let me always repeat the name of God. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān kī jai. Here is a bhajan from Holy Gurujī, and its meaning is this: My Satguru is always protecting me, so have no fear; always be fearless. One who is protected by Gurudev—nothing can harm him. Those bhaktas who have surrendered to Gurudev live constantly in the highest happiness. Whoever always repeats the mantra will cross the ocean of this world, and in the end attain liberation and unite with God. Afterwards, he becomes immortal and never returns to this world. This is the message. And so, by constantly repeating the name of Gurudev, Śrī Mādhavānanda goes his way. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān kī jai. Do dina kā cakamī melā. This is a bhajan from Swāmī Pramāṇanda Jī, a disciple of Mahāprabhujī. He was one of the greatest singers of Mahāprabhujī’s time and was celebrated for it. The world is a play of coming and going. We are in this world just for two days. One person has just departed, another is now ascending, and a third is already preparing for the next departure. In your ignorance you lived in sin. Now you have plenty of money and property, but you will not be able to take a single cent with you. At the end of this life, nobody will help you—neither son, nor wife, nor mother, father, or brother. Why do you heap up so many sins? This world is utterly temporary, and therefore I worship the immortal, beloved God. Rāmānanda says, “Listen, O disciple. All of this is a game of coming and going. The human being is in this world only for two days.” Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān kī jai, Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān kī jai. Now a bhajan from an unknown saint, yet full of bhakti. O Guru Dev, I have placed the whole responsibility for my life into your hands. My success rests in your hands. I have made one decision: I must see you, my God, and for this I give you all the love of this world. If I must remain in this world, then let me be like a lotus flower in the river. O God, I place all my abilities, everything, into your hands. Should I reap something as a human? Please, let me at least worship your feet, and let all powers be held in your hands. If I am caught in worldly things, at least let me be selfless. And when the time of death arrives, please take my life into your hands. There is a difference between you and me. You are the high God, but I am just a human. I live as a human in this world, yet this world itself lies in your hands. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān kī jai.
