Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavānkī. A good day to everybody, dear brothers and sisters, and all our dear future lights—the children. Indeed, it was a beautiful program. We grown people know what is necessary for children: to have happiness and a happy family. This means a complete family. Father and mother must stay together to create a happy future for the children. Otherwise, do not have children. The gardener from New Zealand gave very concrete and correct information: the fact that if you give too much to children and too much freedom, it may lead them in the wrong direction. I used to say: children do not need your toys, they need your love; and children do not need your money, they need your wisdom. But the problem and mistake lie with grown people; for the sake of their own freedom, they try to keep children away with toys and money. Yoga in Daily Life has become an example in the world for returning to the joint family system. That is why the Yoga in Daily Life Youth Union serves as a meeting point for children. Children are the future of tomorrow. Our country will go in the direction our children go. I told him in the night, "Please, wait until the program is over." We are all gathered here from many different nations. Americans are here, Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians, all of Europe, and Indians are also here taking part in this, as well as Africans. So, more or less, we are from every continent. We are all coming to this place, Strelky, which has become, in these last days, an international village. It is a very historical village, and I am very happy to meet the people, especially the madam who gave the lecture here. She strives very hard to preserve the originality of this village and to preserve the culture. Culture is the life of a human. Where there is a human, there is a culture, and where there is a culture, there is a human. If the culture dies, humanity will die. Therefore, it is very important to care for culture. Every culture is very good; it does not matter from which country it is. That is why it is called multicultural, and we are all here in a multicultural gathering. And there is one culture which is international. There is only one culture to which all humans belong and exist according to. And that culture is agriculture. If agriculture is destroyed, then all cultures and humans are destroyed. Not only this, the living planet will become a dead planet. Therefore, it is very important to have organic growing. We should not utilize pesticides. We should teach people a healthy way of living. I am very much wondering that the farmers of this Strelky village and the surrounding area still haven’t begun with organic farming. Now, in the last two weeks, we will be 2,000 people here. Every day, 1,000 people have three meals. We all are longing for organic vegetables and fruits. In these three weeks, we will have, all in all, 3,000 people here. I do not think any village will get so many customers to buy their organic food like in Strelky. So, I would suggest that we have one conference or meeting with the farmers and experts about food, nourishment, and those who have done research work on its effect on the body. I wish that the whole of Strelky and all the surrounding area becomes very healthy and stands as an example on the world map. Pārvatī, you call her Donalova, she just told me that we need 11,000 crowns for destroying the organ, že potřebujeme na ty varhany přispět (that we need to contribute to the organ). I was sitting like this in a free bed, and I said, "We need 11,000 crowns." You will not imagine that within five minutes, the money was there. The same thing happened last year also. So I just want to tell you, madam—excuse me, your name I do not remember—just for your information, that the people here are very free thinkers, working for ecology and for the protection of culture. They see Strelky not as a stranger’s village but like their own village. I suggest to my disciples and young people to settle in this area so that Strelky becomes again a more colorful village. That is very important. World peace is only possible if we follow these three principles of Yoga in Daily Life: tolerance, respect, and understanding. Tolerance in cultures and religions. Respect every culture. And understand every country’s situation. That will bring us toward world peace. Finally, as our dear brother John from New Zealand said, the only way to save humanity again is spiritual education. But spiritual education is not with narrow thinking. We should not educate our children in such a way that we believe only our God has a right to live. Humanity has been suffering very much from this. The second is to create love towards all creatures. Feed them, love them; do not kill them and eat them. That is a way, again, for us ourselves; that is self-protection. If you want to protect yourself, then you should protect others also. If you want to be free, then you have to give freedom to others. For example, you have a snake in your hand. The snake is not free from you, but you are also not free from the snake. So, to give freedom is very important. So, especially, I wish a very happy and bright future for the children. I hope they also speak with their parents, expressing that they want to have a complete family—father and mother—and that they should learn good things and, as Dr. Santi said, be an example. So I do expect from you kids that you will be great persons in the world and great workers. I do believe that you will not disappoint me. I love you very much. Thank you all. God bless you. Adios.
