Spiritual New Year

A spiritual talk on the occasion of Guru Purnima.

"You offer all that you have done and practiced—the fruits of your sādhanā—to Gurudev. Then, you take a new vow, a saṅkalpa, for the coming year."

"You are the blessed ones, the happy ones, to be here especially on this full moon day, namely Guru Purnima."

A speaker addresses a gathering, explaining the significance of Guru Purnima as a 48-hour period marking the spiritual new year. He instructs listeners to cultivate positive thinking, to offer the fruits of their past year's practice to their guru, and to make a fresh spiritual resolution for the year ahead. The talk emphasizes devotion and the commitment to positive personal qualities.

Recording location: Czech Republic, Strilky, Summer seminar

We know that Guru Purnima is already present in the constellation. Its effect lasts for 48 hours, and it begins this afternoon. Therefore, you should all cultivate positive, spiritual thinking today—avoid negativity and always remain positive. Think of it like the blood groups: A positive and B positive. Be a positive person, an "A positive" individual. Today marks the end of your old spiritual year, and tomorrow is the beginning of a new one. This is the spiritual new year, when bhaktas, devotees, practitioners, yogīs, and aspirants conclude one year of spiritual effort and commence another. You offer all that you have done and practiced—the fruits of your sādhanā—to Gurudev. Then, you take a new vow, a saṅkalpa, for the coming year: to perform so many mālās, to chant so many mantras, to think positively, to pray more, to harbor no doubts, to live without jealousy, ego, hatred, or complexes, and to refrain from talking during the bhajan singing in satsaṅg. You will be very brave. I will tell you more about Guru Purnima tomorrow. You are the blessed ones, the happy ones, to be here especially on this full moon day, namely Guru Purnima. You are the blessed ones, the happy ones, to be here especially on this full moon day, namely Guru Purnima. --- Recording location: Czech Republic, Strilky, Summer seminar
