Om Namah Nārāyaṇa to all the sannyāsīs present here. And Hari Om to all of you who are present. Today, I would like to ask our dear Swami Yamunapuri to speak something and to tell something about her journey. Thank you so much. Sorry, my legs are not working well, but even with three legs we have to go. Never stop in life. Thank you so much, our beloved Swāmī Avatār Purījī. I was meeting here with him for the first time. Thank you very much for inviting me here. We got to know each other here, and to meet him was for me just like the first time I met our beloved Kuru Dev Viśva Kuru Jī. His soul is so connected with our beloved Viśvakurujī. I saw it in his eyes. He is blessed from all our beloved masters of the lineage. He has a very big work to do, and we have to support him with our help however we can. I have been with Viśvakurujī for so many times, I think 45 years. I started with Vishwagurujī 35 years ago. We came because most of us—Umapurījī, you too, and Swāmī Śāntī too—we began with him to understand what yoga is. I did yoga before. I had my big groups. When I came to Viśvakurujī, the first thing he gave me was the mantra. I didn't know what a mantra is. I was asking other people, "What is mantra?" They explained to me that it is very good, you repeat it, and then you can affect your consciousness, you can clean, and so on. Really, I was not understanding very much. But I was thinking, if I have the possibility, I have to prove it first, then I can say if it is good or not. So I said, "Okay, Swāmījī." I remember I came there, and all were laughing about me. I was coming with a big thing of fruit, I was buying big bunches of flowers, and when I came inside, all were sitting on the floor and they were looking at me, and the flowers were falling down and all were laughing. They all laughed at me because when I went there, I had a huge bouquet. If something was important to me, I gave very big importance to that. I had only 1,000 euros (of course, at that time there were not euros, but a similar amount), and I gave this 1,000 euros because it was all I had saved. I told them, "Okay, people will say, 'You are crazy, what are you doing?'" Because I don't know, but I feel it has to be. And I swear to you, it was the best that could happen to me. The Master at first gives you the first things to do: mantra. And you have to realize it, but you have to do it too. Not only to take it and then put the mala there. When you get the mantra, you also have to work with it, not just put the mālā somewhere. When I saw the first step was so good, I was feeling the mantra, I was feeling the connection too. Because if you say the mantra with heart and with soul, then you feel the love and the blessing of the Master. A já jsem opravdu vnímala to srdcem toho a cítila jsem to spojení, protože když mantru si opakujete ve svém srdci a s napojením na Mistra, tak opravdu to má velký účinek. This is the first connection that you do with the Master. This is the first union that you have. You open your soul, you open your heart, and you feel the frequency of his consciousness. It is very, very important to believe what he says. Sometimes people listen, and then somebody comes to me yesterday and says, "Okay, very good satsaṅg, kusaṅg, but what is the difference? Somebody went to satsaṅg and had an accident. The other one was in a kuśaṅg and won the lottery. Why?" I come back with our beloved Avatār Purījī. I like the stories from our beloved Viśva Kurujī. Now I will tell you one. There were two neighbors in India. They were speaking sometimes to each other. One was going every day, when he could, to satsaṅg. The other one liked to go to kusaṅg. They were neighbors and speaking with each other. At the end of the month, at the beginning of the month, they received money from their work. They meet each other. One said, "Come on, we have money now, let's take the money, we will go to a kusaṅg, we will go and spend this money on alcohol, you know, kusaṅg." The other told him, "No, I have to go to satsaṅg. I will go there with my wife and children." The other one told him, "Oh, you are crazy. We are living only one time. You have to enjoy life. Go and do, and so on." Okay, everyone went. The one went to kusaṅg, spending all the money. He had money for family and so on. He was drinking, playing, doing other things. Then, full of alcohol, he was going home. He found something shining on the floor. It was one big gold coin. He took it. Oh, look, all the money he was spending, he had double now. So he went home with double money, and he was coming back from a kusaṅg. The other one went to the satsaṅg. Very nice, singing, speaking about God, bhajans. Then they wanted to go home, but he went out from the door of the ashram, and he broke a leg. They had to wait; the doctor was coming and putting and so on. Finally, they brought him home. The next day they met each other. The kusaṅg neighbor came out and said, "Oh, what happened with you?" He said, "Okay, yesterday I was in satsaṅg, and look what happened." The other one said, "Oh, are you crazy? Look, I was in kusaṅg all night. And look, I have one coin left over from what I was spending." So now, what's happened? Why? They decided, "We go now to a ṛṣi." At that time, the ṛṣis knew about the past and future. They knew things. "We go to them, we will ask." So they went there, they sat down and said, "Please, master, can you tell us what has happened, why?" The master closed his eyes. A mistr zavřel oči a řekl tomu, který byl na Kusangu, "Ty máš velké štěstí." Ale tu noc si šel na Kusang, a když si šel zpátky domů, ve tvém karmě, ve tvém osudu, bylo to tak, že jsi mohl najít velmi velký poklad. With all this money, you didn't have to work for all your life. But because you were in a kusaṅg, from all this big treasure, it was remaining only one coin. Then he looked to the other one and told him, "You know, in your destiny, in your karma, tonight, in that street that you had to go to go home, somebody had to come who could kill you. But because you were in satsaṅg, your karma changed. You broke your leg. So you were not going at that time, in that place. And you are in life, and you can be happy with your family." Sometimes it is difficult for us to understand such things. Why does one have so much, why does the other have so little? Never look at what others have or don't have. Never do we have to compare each other. We have to help each other with love. We really have to have satsaṅg as much as we can, because only with satsaṅg your Anāhata chakra is opening, your soul is vibrating, and it will be one with the highest consciousness of your Master. So that's my little message about that. And remember devotion. You know already, of course, in the twelfth chapter of the Guru Gītā, when Arjuna Uvāca asks Lord Kṛṣṇa, "Where is the best way to come to God?" Remember how in the Bhagavad Gītā, in the twelfth chapter, Arjuna asks Kṛṣṇa, "What is the best way to God?" He said, "Every way is good, but bhakti, the devotion, is the quickest, the easier way." Because bhakti is like being a little child. A little child grows up and learns slowly, but he learns a language, he learns all things normally. To come inside and to be a bhakta is the best. It is the most beautiful way, because you are growing with innocence, like a child. You don't learn it, but you can become it from love, unconditional love, through bhakti, through this devotion that you have. I think that this is the best way to be one with our Gurū Dev: to develop in your heart this unconditional love. When you love your master, automatically you love everyone. And you love automatically all the creation, of course, animals and so on. I don't want to speak more because I think Vishwagurujī would say, "No, don't let Yamunā speak, because when she begins, it never ends." I think that's enough for me not to speak for too long. Vishwagurujī always says, "Don't let Yamunā speak, because she will never stop." I never prepare a speech when I have to speak. Sometimes in other places people told me, "Oh, this big president is not coming. Can you go there and speak something?" No problem. I go there and speak. Why? Because I want to speak with the soul, and I am sure that my Viśvakurujī is with me. I want only to be an instrument for the light of my masters. I am sure that he pushed me to speak what I had to speak in that moment. So I am not afraid, I am not nervous. Every time I remember Uma Purī, you know, he was telling us at that time: "You don't worry. Papa will make it. If you don't know something and you are maybe wrong, don't be afraid because the Father will make it good again for you." So if you are sure the Master is every time with you, you don't have to be afraid. Of course, you don't have to do very stupid things; you have to do something with responsibility. You cannot go... There is no "but." If you have to do something in the name of your Viśvaguru, then close your eyes, and he will be with you. In this moment, you have mantra, you have satsaṅg, you have so many things from him. And now we have a very big present! Our Viśvakurujī gave us a very big present, and it is our Avatar Purījī. I wish him from the deepest of my heart and my soul that he had a very... I know that he will have it. And with this, thank you so much.
