Good evening and welcome to evening satsaṅg. Good morning and good evening to all our spiritual seekers, practitioners of yoga, and dear life around the world. Welcome to this evening’s program. This evening’s subject is Anuṣṭhāna. What do we understand about Anuṣṭhāna? It is a Sanskrit word, a Hindi language word: Anuṣṭhāna. Anuṣṭhāna is mostly done with a particular aim to fulfill your wish, achieve a goal, or for spiritual development, and so on. There are many different kinds of Anuṣṭhāna: fasting every Monday, or every Thursday, or fasting every full moon day, or fasting every dark moon day or night, fasting on the eleventh moon day. There are different days in the month that one should fast because on those particular days there is special radiance from the moon to the earth or from the earth to the moon. The moon is as important as the earth for us, and the sun is also as important as our earth. But also, the different planets have a very strong support or influence on our planet. All the nine planets are balancing each other. These are measured like eight chakras in the body to balance the ninth one, this jīvātmā in this body. Therefore, the number nine is a very special number. The number nine is the highest number according to mathematics. And within these nine numbers, the top is zero. And we know that Vedic mathematics solves the biggest problem of numbers in mathematics while putting the zero, śūnyant. So every day, for example, we have seven days, and every day is dedicated to a particular planet. Now, everyone is born in different constellations. Every individual, not only humans, but every creature, has a destiny, a constellation, and a destiny. It is said that your destiny cannot be changed, but the constellation can influence your destiny. It means you have access to your destiny to do something. So every planet has a different effect or influence on every individual, including our weather, climate, the Mother Earth, ocean, rivers, lakes, vegetation, and the five elements. The Vedic science and Vedas—Veda means wisdom or knowledge—and the Vedas are the highest science in this world which humans can have. Unfortunately, the modern intellect, modern-minded people, their pride is so great, they would like to show that they are the scientists and they are right, but unfortunately, it’s not like that. No research still today could defeat those great sages who incarnated in this world and brought the science, the divine science, the divine message. Is there any scientist in this world who could represent exactly like Jesus? Is there anyone who says that I am Jesus? Okay, very good. I will be very happy to meet him, and we will say, "Let him crucify," and the first nail that goes in his hands, I want to measure his brain waves, what’s happening. So it’s very easy to say, but it’s not the same thing. Similarly, is there anyone who can represent Kṛṣṇa or Rāma, or Buddha or Mahāprabhujī, and so on, or Śiva, Brahmā, Viṣṇu? Our knowledge is very limited, but the knowledge of the holy saints is beyond. They are known as Trikāla Darśī. Tri means three, Kāla means time, and Darśī means the seer. One who can see all at once, without boundary, past, present, and future. We’ve forgotten the past, we don’t know what to do at the present, and there’s a black wall in front of us for the future. We are trying through instruments to know this and that. Many times, our instrument fails. It is said today will be raining and hotter weather. So it is the planets which are changing. So everyone is born under different constellations, and every different planet is in their favor or maybe a little bit in disfavor. So according to that, you should fast. Should you fast on Monday, Moon, or you fast on Tuesday, Mars, or you fast on Wednesday, Buddha, Thursday, Jupiter, and so on. And according to that, we also have stones, metals, and minerals, which can help us to enter into our destiny. But what to do? You can’t change the destiny, but still you can enter and try to steer it. And the steering power is Guru Śakti, Guru Tattva. So above Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva, the highest Tattva is called Guru Tattva. That’s why it is said in mantra, so it’s not a physical part of it, not a material part of it, but the law, the principle, that element, the tattva. Like Śiva tattva, Brahmā tattva, Viṣṇu tattva, water tattva, fire tattva, Agni, water, and so on, is the Brahmā Tattva, and that Brahmā Tattva is the Guru Tattva. "Gu" means darkness, and "Ru" means light; that one who leads us from the darkness of ignorance to the light of knowledge, wisdom, or liberation, and so on. After knowing this, you begin to do your anuṣṭhāna. Without knowing, if you do, understand, it’s good. You will feel your knees, long sitting, and this, and it will have some effect. Definitely positive, but exactly to know, that’s different. When we know the cause, then we can treat, and if we don’t know the cause, we can’t treat. So knowing the cause is very important. And if you don’t know, then there is another possibility, and that’s called Guru Vākya. Therefore, it is said, "Mokṣa Mūlam Guru Kṛpā." So there are three mantras. It is said, "Dhyāna Mūlam Guru Mūrti," meditate on the embodiment of Gurudev. "Pūjā Mūlam Guru Padam," worship the Holy Lotus Feet of the Gurudev. "Mantra Mūlam Guru Vākya," and the essence of your mantra, your power, is the words of the Gurudev, Guru Vākya. If you fail the Guru Vākya, you fail everything. Then finally, "Mokṣa Mūlam Guru Kṛpā." Then it is like this: finally, when you do this: Dhyāna mūlaṁ guru mūrti, pūjā mūlaṁ guru pādam, śravaṇaṁ mūlaṁ guru vākyaṁ, mokṣa mūlaṁ guru kṛpā. And to follow this, to understand this, many obstacles come, many blackmailings come, many cheaters come. These are the insects which will destroy the crops. That’s called kuśaṅga. Mahāprabhujī said, "The fortunate are they who can go to satsaṅg." Unlucky are they. In darkness are they. In ignorance are they, and having heavy rock of the negative karma on them, that they can’t make a step towards satsaṅg, to go to the satsaṅg. When you are going for satsaṅg, you are not going for me, and you are not going for him or for her. But you are going for your own benefit. And you have to purify your heart in such a way that you have a love for all. And so Mahāprabhujī, Bhagavān Śrī Dīpnā and Mahāprabhujī of Baḍīkhāṭū, Nāgaur, Jilla Rājasthān, he said, all the bhaktas of my Gurudev, that is, a satsaṅgī who comes to the satsaṅg, I am longing for them. When will I have again the luck, the day, the hours where I will see my guru brothers and sisters and the spiritual people in the satsaṅg? Olu Āveśa. Olu means longing. Olu Āveśa Nend Bharjave. I remember, and such a longing, that my eyes are full of tears when I will be in the satsaṅg. That’s called love. We will have many nice bhajans and translations during this seminar. Beautiful. It is said, you need not run behind God. God will run behind you. That’s it. He will come, and you tell him, "Sit down. I have no time. I must make satsaṅg. I have to talk to you." Yes. And God will wait on the corner for you. I tell you, if you have that love, you can tie to God, tie to him in one corner. And God will do it because God is the slave of love. That’s it. God said, "Nothing can bound me, nothing can hold me, only the love." And that love means bhakti, devotion, pure love. So I remember, my bhaktas, brothers and sisters of the satsaṅg, and I have tears in my eyes. When will I be there? That means that person understands the satsaṅg. Otherwise, Prasad Purī said, "I don’t like to go to the satsaṅg of Seva Devī." And Seva Devī said, "I don’t want to go to the satsaṅg of Bhakti Devī." And Bhakti Devī said, "I don’t want to go to the seva of the... who is this Puri sitting beside me? Sabjī Purī?" And this and that, all that is, what do you say? Who are you to say, "I don’t like"? Like and dislike is the black cloud in front of your forehead, my dear. With any price, in any conditions, run with naked feet towards the satsaṅg, and go and hear, listen to every word that in satsaṅg is said, because this is not a word of that person who is talking like me, perhaps, or like him or her, but these are the words of the eternal truth of the Vedas, Upaniṣads, and all incarnations, the Guru. There is one story, and we know that in the world there are different kinds of people. Some are spiritual, some are positive, some are religious, some are a little bit naughty, some are stealing, and so on, and they have their gangs. So a spiritual gang is satsaṅg, no? So you are also a gang, a group. So it depends on which kind of group it is. So the thieves, they have their gangs. So there was one village, like Dungong, and they were living in one community. They were all thieves, and all know that they are. But they are so perfect, and this, hardly you can prove that they’ve stolen. And they have their guru, yes. Everyone has their trainer, you know. They call the terrorist trainer are also there, so terrorists said, "This is my guru," their trainer. The word guru you can misuse or use in a good manner. Who is teaching you something? That’s it. So they have their experience, their advisor, old man, and everyone, when they have problems, they go to him, like going to the lawyer or to the judge, and he gives them such advice that they gently come out of the problem, and where to go, where not to go, when to do, when not to do all research. He was 98 years old now. One day came, you know, sooner or later we all will say goodbye to this world. The body will die, and this all again have to go somewhere. Your children are waiting for your property. They said, "Go." Dead, though it’s very hard for me to say, but now your time is over. It’s my house, my birthright. Everyone had to go. So that old man, the trainer and the advisor of the thieves, 98 years, he’s lying on his bed and seems in the last days of his life. He can’t die suffering, but he can’t go out of the body. So one of the sons, he had three sons, said, "Father, we are three sons. Take it as like Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśa. We can do anything. You don’t worry about anything, and we will follow your instructions. What is your last desire? Tell us, please, that you can pass peacefully. Go peacefully." He said, "There are three things which I would like to tell you and have you." They said, "Yes, father, what do you wish, dear father? We will do anything so that you pass peacefully, without suffering, without sorrow." He said, number one, you know the king, our king in this area, he’s a very nice guy. His wife, the queen, is also a very good lady. But only the son he has won, Prince. He’s very cruel and very strict, and has no heart, no mercy. If he proves one day that you are a thief, he will burn you alive. He will throw you in the fire. So, father, what to do? Before my death, or I will die peacefully, that you will have no more problems. I want to have the head of the prince. It means murder him and bring the head. When I see it is he, then I will be sure, peaceful. They said, father, no problem. You taught us everything, how to do, what to do. Very soon, let the sun set. Yes, my sons, I trust your abilities, but be careful. Second, don’t go to any satsaṅg. Don’t listen to any predictor, preacher, or any sādhu. Avoid the way, and if there is no way to avoid, then pass by, but pluck your ears, but don’t hear any sentence or the word of satsaṅg. Yes, father, done. We will follow. Third, that I will tell you after, before dying, he said. But father, you can tell now. He said, "No, it has a time. Everything has its time." At that time, there was no electricity, no generators, no petrol, just oil lamps. After sunset, one hour after sunset, people were in bed, sleeping, getting up at the morning dawn. So, at 10 o’clock in the night, all three brothers made their way to the palace. And they entered the palace from behind, and unfortunately, they murdered the prince. They took his head in the bag, hanging, and they went out through the back door. No one has seen him. But there was only one narrow street, and there was sitting one sādhu, one swāmī, like our Gopāl Purī, like this, doing all the time, sit straight, like this, sit a pregnant woman, like this. Swami must sit straight. I didn’t tell only him, everyone. So there was one Swāmījī sitting, and there were 10–15 people in the satsaṅg. That time, 10-15 was a big crowd, you know, because the population was little. So Swamiji was giving satsaṅg, and now they both, the three brothers, they don’t know where to go. If they go back to the palace, they can’t go through the front door of the palace. So what to do? So they took their shoes out, otherwise it will make so, and they put the shoes in the pocket, and they pluck the ears, and one after the other run away. It was dark; no one sees. First went the elder one, then the middle one, and now remains the third one, the youngest one. He was running exactly; he came near ten, twenty meters was far from the Sadhu, and the thorn went in his foot. A big thorn. Now, how to take the thorn out? To take the thorn out, you have to take the finger away from your ear. You see how destiny is playing with us. So he took the head away, quickly pulled the thorn out, plucked his ear again, and ran. In this 10-15 seconds while he was quickly pulling the thorn out, the Sadhu said, "If some goddess from the astral world, or a ghost, appears, then they do not have a shadow of their body. No shadow. Finished." So, devatāon ke parśāya nahīṁ hotī hai. Only this one sentence. The goddess has no shadow of the body. Now it was like blackmailing in his mind. He closed the ears, he ran away, but constantly thinking of God. Father said, "Don’t hear the words of satsaṅg." And he said, "The goddess has no shadow. The goddess has no shadow." It fitted in his brain perfectly, and from that time on, we call blackmailing or whitemailing, whatever you call it, began on that day. He came home, they told the father, "Here is the head." The father, with an oil lamp, looked nicely with one eye open and the second eye open. Yes, it is the prince. Now I can die peacefully. Myself, three meters deep, buried this head here, and earth on it, and plaster her home. They said, "Father, for the third point, do you want to explain?" He said, "Yes. We don’t believe in compassion. We don’t believe in any God. We don’t believe if someone can die or not, or is stolen or not. No mercy. But we believe only in one that is called Divine Mother Kālī, the black. She comes once in a generation. When my great-grandfather died, she appeared to my father’s grandfather. When my grandfather died, she gave darśan to my father. And when my father died, she came to me. She is our protector. She will protect you, so be devoted to her. That’s all, yes. Father, he said, "Do all what she said." "Yes, father. Hari Om." He inhaled deep and said, "Ah, finished." Well, in the morning, they find out the prince is murdered. The king was sad, of course. All were sad. And they would like to know who is who, to find out who did this. So that time was also CID. What do you call CBI? Or secret police? CID. And that time, mostly, it was ladies. Sorry, ladies. Because ladies are perfect in communication. Men, the poor men, work the whole day in the field. But ladies are sitting at home and talking, "Do you know what happened with her?" Other ones say, "Do you know what happened?" And now also, they are so quickly SMS seeking. Swamiji is talking, and they are sending SMS to their friend. Swamiji said this: "Yes, that’s the beauty of talent. How awakened they are, how intelligent. They listen to me. They understand me." They send SMS. They know the mantras. They know who is doing what. And moving on, it is two thumbs. Instead of doing mala, om, om. So the king called the head of the CID and told him, "You have 48 hours to find out who murdered the prince. If not, after 48 hours, there is a fire burning. Instead of the wood or fuel, it will be you inside." She said, "Lord, don’t give me such a hard punishment. I will do my best. Let me go. Don’t waste my time. Every second and minute for me is very important," she said. And she made information within 20, 40 kilometers. Something happened. They said, "No. All in our village, one old man died from those communities, what they called the thieves." She also had her worker women, no? Okay, go. Many came, said this, this. Okay, go. She was a very clever, intelligent person. She made all the information about that man who died, what he was doing, what they believed, what they were working, and so everything. She told everybody, "Go, finish, go." Now she organized one water buffalo, a very strong water buffalo, because the Kālī sometimes rides on the buffalo. And she made an artificial hand from wood and from the horse’s tail, the long hair, and she put it on. Rubber tongue, red completely, and like this, you know, Kālī and all black color. Two o’clock in the night, when the whole world was sleeping, she sat on that buffalo, and she had in one hand the sword, in one hand she had her pot, like eating, and with... on the other hand, she was holding the buffalo, and in the other fourth hand she had an oil lamp because she must find the way, and she came to the door of that man who died, the thief, and knocked on the door. "Who is here?" First, the father died. They were unhappy. Second, they did this great, terrible mistake. They are unhappy, fearful. They opened the door, and Kālī is standing there. Bless you, my children. And her people went inside the house and closed the door. So they closed the door. Mother, mother, divine mother. Oh, divine mother said, "Don’t worry, my children, I am yours." Do this, don’t do this, so and so and so. And, you know, once I came in a generation, when your grandfather died, I came to your father to give a blessing. Now, your father died. I’m sorry for that, but everyone here is to die. Bless you. And only I want to tell you that anytime you have any problems, remember me immediately. I will remove the problems. I am going. They say, "Thank you, Mother, for coming," and she became angry. "You don’t know, whenever I come once, then I deserve an offering of a human head." So, you are three. One of the head, give it to me now. Who should die? Who wants to die? Even God is now there. Do you think today Jesus will come and say, "Instead of me, please, you hang up"? Will you do? Say, "Thank you, Jesus." Say, "I love you very much. My Lord, but I have little children at home," so they were looking to each other. She said, "Don’t waste my time, otherwise I have in my..."
