To all the divine sannyāsīs, yogīs, yatīs, all the spiritual seekers, experiencers, and to those integrating yoga and daily life, as well as the fellowship, devotees, and organizers present here in the Viśvadīp Guru Pūl, Swāmī Maheśvarānandajī Āśram, Education Research Center, Jādānpālī, Rājasthān, India, Bhārat. And to the devotees of the Alakhurī Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā and the Viśvagurujīs around the world through the webcast, many blessings to all of you from the Viśvagurujīs. We are all the blessed ones, the fortunate ones, the luckiest ones, that we have spiritual festivals, lectures, company, friends, and celebrations every day, every hour, every week, every month, every year. As well as the prayers, abhiṣeka, and anuṣṭhāna. The divine light of Viśvagurujī provides protection and guidance. In human life, it is most required, most important, that inner light is needed—the inner light, peace, harmony, and understanding. In the world, there are 8.4 million creatures. Out of that, the human is one kind; we are also creatures. We are God’s children, one God. In Mahāprabhujī’s Līlāmṛta and the golden teaching—that is called the golden text—the God-light is in every creature. To love and serve them is to love and serve God. Be aware of ignorance. Respect everyone equally. In the world, there is one creature called human. We are the protector, not the destroyer. Out of 8.4 million creatures, the human is the only one that can help others, serve others. And it is also very, very necessary for human life: peace, inner peace. It is said we can buy food in the market, but hunger or the interest to eat we cannot buy in the market or in any medical store. So we can buy things, but you cannot buy harmony and friendships. This is God’s blessing only that we are human and we have each other, the harmonious feelings. The great ṛṣis, great yogīs, and great singers sing many, many bhajans. On our holy Gurujī’s anniversary day, many of you were present. All night, the bhaktas came to different places in India. Individual invitations were not given; we gave a general invitation. They are devotees since the time of Devpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, Holy Gurujī, and Viśvagurujī. They know this paramparā, and they have love and devotion toward our paramparā, Viśvagurujī, and Holy Gurujī. So they were singing all night. I was listening; I was sleeping in Swāmījī’s room, but I was listening from there. In Viśvagurujī’s room, the whole night they were singing. These bhajans are nectar for humanity. This bhajan is what is called mental food. This bhajan, what they were singing or we are singing, this is our inner peace of purpose. So many scriptures, so many holy books have been written. Especially there in India, we have the four Vedas: Ṛg Veda, Yajur Veda, Sāma Veda, Atharva Veda. The essence of the Veda, Aṣṭādhyāyī. Purāṇeṣu, there are 18 Purāṇas. The Vedas, and after the Purāṇas, come the Upaniṣads—the essence of the Vedas and Purāṇas; this is called Upaniṣad. "Aṣṭādaśe Purāṇeṣu Vyāseśe Vācanam Dvayam, Paropakāre Puṇyāya Pāpāya Parapīḍanam." It means: In the eighteen Purāṇas (Brahmāpurāṇa, Padmapurāṇa, Viṣṇupurāṇa, Śrīmad Bhāgavatapurāṇa, Mārkaṇḍeyapurāṇa, Skandapurāṇa, Brahmāṇḍapurāṇa, Kūrmapurāṇa, and so on), out of them, there are only two lines, the essence of the Purāṇas, the two lines from Vedavyāsa. Vedavyāsa is a great ṛṣi who read all the Purāṇas and wrote their essence. Paropakāre puṇyāya: To help others, each and every creature, is puṇya (merit). Parapīḍanam pāpāya: To give them pain is pāpa (sin). Through the mind (manasā), through speech (vācā), through action (karmaṇā): do not harm anyone. That is the biggest sin—to harm anyone physically, mentally, or through action. Paropakāra: to help. If we help, it is great, great, great. If we are not able to help, then don’t harm. The essence is that to help is great puṇya; there is no higher puṇya than to help each other physically, mentally, socially, spiritually. To help is the greatest, highest puṇya, and to harm is a very, very deep or very bad sin. But it’s very hard for humans. Thank God we are here, we have a spiritual path, we have a spiritual atmosphere. But many people don’t know what abuse is and what sin is. They are killing animals and eating them. So that is a big sin. In India, there is also a great writer, the nation’s father, Mahātmā Gandhi. Many, many times, I think Swāmījī organized the World Peace Council in different parts of the world, in Nivyāna and different places, maybe America sometimes. And they are always given there the lesson of Mahātmā Gandhījī and Holy Gurujī—the both-side picture and the message of Mahātmā Gandhījī and Holy Gurujī. So, Mahātmā Gandhījī is there, and he has given the message of non-violence. Ahiṃsā means not only to not kill, but to not harm anyone in mana (mind), vācā (speech), and karmaṇā (action). There are also three lessons. It is very good and easy to remember the example. He had, I think, three monkeys. I don’t know how they created this story, but it’s showing. So one monkey says, "Don’t see bad," one monkey says, "Don’t talk bad," one monkey says, "Don’t listen bad." So there are three halves: one is like this, one like this, and one like this. How deep research they made and created that kind of example for humanity. Similarly, our Holy Gurujī’s message: enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice. To enter into the spiritual kingdom of God, into Paramatmā Ke Samrājya Me Praveś Hone Ke Liye, tyāg kī jarūrat hai—you need detachment, not attachment. Detachment is giving the human the divine light, peace, and happiness. And attachment is giving disturbance and wrong direction. Similarly, Holy Gurujī’s message, or his divine word, the satsaṅg, is the result of the satsaṅg: peace and bliss. The peace we need is within ourselves. If we have peace, we can share it with others. If we don’t have peace, we cannot share it with others. Bliss is God, the divine God-light. The yogīs, the ṛṣis, they have such energy, such aura, such divine light they have; they are giving blessings to humans. So we are the fortunate ones that we have spiritual guidance and every day satsaṅg; every day we are learning something new, something new, something new. Because this path is as long as we are on this divine path, as long as we go, as long as life we have in the divine path, as long as we are learning something new every day. It is new for us, but it is researched by yogīs and many, many divine gurus who have their own experience of how to get peace and bliss. Similarly, Viśvagurujī’s divine words are there: tolerance, respect, and understanding for nation, for religion, and for cultures. Culture is the beauty on this earth. Culture is creating the divine atmosphere. Culture is not dividing; it is uniting. For example, someone has a good garden; in India, we call it a bagīcā. So when you have a good garden, there, in every garden, they have different kinds of flowers. Some are the rose, some are the petals, and some are called gulāb. Each flower has a different aroma. Similarly, around the world there are different cultures, different uniforms, different languages, different tastes in food, different dialogues, and many, many different cultural programs. So, this is beauty in this world. We are also part of this beautiful garden in this world. We are the one garden, beautiful garden flowers. Each flower has its own aroma, each flower has its own quality, and each flower has its own beauty. We are a garden, and our Gurudev is giving every day, every day, the spiritual nectar, the water. That one water we drink every day, that one water is called spiritual nectar, the divine words for humans. So we are this beautiful garden flower, and Gurudev is every day giving spiritual knowledge. This is for us; it’s nectar. One example, like imagination: if they are not spiritual in this world, what will the human world do? They will be just like animal life. Thank God that they created the great spiritual path, these spiritual scriptures. When human life first began on this earth, that was the time Brahmā created Nārada on this planet to give the lesson of bhakti, devotion. Navadhā Bhakti: Śravaṇaṁ, Kīrtanaṁ, Smaraṇaṁ, Pāda-sevanaṁ, Arcanaṁ, Vandanaṁ, Dāsyaṁ, Sakhyaṁ, and Ātma-nivedanaṁ. They are written in Yoga and daily life also. Navadhā Bhakti, the nine types of bhakti: when they do the Navadhā Bhakti, humans will get happiness, peace, and harmony. And if they go long and long and long, self-realization. So this is a great, great blessing for us that we have every day the spiritual talk, spiritual preaching, and spiritual atmosphere. Our Gurujī’s divine, divine bhajans, so many bhajans, so many bhajans. If we sing all bhajans, every day one bhajan, it takes a whole year to go through all bhajans. So one bhajan is that beautiful. Someone, please like to sing and join. That is a beautiful bhajan, Holy Gurujī’s bhajan, or maybe our Paramparā Ṛṣi’s bhajan. "Śrīguru Satsaṅgī Olāve, Guru Satsaṅg hyārī jal binā mīna prāṇata, jāḍe taḍapa taḍapa vāro jīva jāve Rāma." Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jaya. So this bhajan, the essence or meaning, is the longing to meet each other, the spiritual friends. "Satguru satsaṅgyorī oḍu ave." O Gurudev, I am longing every day to see my spiritual friends, the spirituals, all the bhaktas who are doing satsaṅg every day. A very deep explanation is given; how many explanations or how many examples are given there. Jal means water, mīna means fish. When the fish comes out of the water, it will die. Similarly, spiritual bhaktas, if they don’t have a spiritual atmosphere, they feel unhappy. Man Sarovar, you know that Himalaya, where do you go to Man Sarovar, Himalaya site? There, Haṃsa means swan, Moti, the pearls, he needs the pearls. Sagar Seep Umang Huye Tarse. Sagar means ocean. Seep, that kind, one kind of creature lives in the water. They are always waiting. Sagar Seep Umang Huye Amrita. He is waiting for the nectar, the rain. When it comes, he will drink. Piyu Piyu Nit Ratat Papaya. That also Piyu Piyu, that is a small creature on the earth. When the monsoon time comes, in India, they have small creatures. What are they all? Amṛta Bunda Kun Barsave Padiyo Nirvāyaṇī Bhave. He is not drinking the water, the lying water. He needs also, like rain water. Prabhu Dīp Kahe Nit Hot Jan Satsaṅg—Mahāprabhujī’s bhajan, this is. Mahāprabhujī’s bhajan, the divine heart, the divine, the flower from Mahāprabhujī’s heart, which came out, and Holy Gurujī wrote this bhajan. It happens every day where the satsaṅg, the unfortunate one who is the future one, who are the fortunate ones, the blessed ones, the luckiest ones, the greatest ones, who have the great, great, great and great destiny, they get that opportunity: the everyday satsaṅg and abhiṣeka, mantra, anuṣṭhāna, and spiritual preach. This is the message of Mahāprabhujī from the divine heart for all devotees, for all bhaktas who are longing to have peace, harmony, and self-realization. This is the message of our paramparā. Thousands, millions, billions of people, they are, every day, every hour, every week, every month, and every year, singing bhajans, praying, and preaching around the world. They are our paramparā’s bhaktas. So thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to share my Gurudev’s divine words with you, and thank you very much for listening. We are all praying to our beloved Gurudev for Viśvagurujī’s good health and long, long life, and every day we are all praying for his good health. So, we will sing Oṃ three times. Through the Oṃ, we pray to the cosmic light for Viśvagurujī’s good health. So, please sit comfortably. Again, fold your hands. Praying always with folded hands. Folding hands means we are respecting the cosmic light and Gurus. Deep inhale, please.
