Deep Nārāyaṇa Bhagavānkī. A good day to everybody, dear brothers and sisters, and all our dear future light—the children. Indeed, it was a beautiful program. We grown people know what children do not: to have happiness, a happy family 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 about the fact that if you give too much to children and too much freedom, that 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 is in 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. That is why the Yoga in Daily Life Youth Union has a central point for children. Children are the future of tomorrow. Our country will go in that direction in which the children go. Therefore, we must devote ourselves to the children very personally and give them a good upbringing. We had many contributions from children who shared their ideas with us. I told them last night, "Please wait until the program is over." We are all from here, many different nations. Americans are here, Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians, all of Europe, and Indians are also here taking part, and Africans. So it means more or less from every continent. We are all coming to this place, Strilky, which has become in the last days an international village. It is a very historical village, and I am very happy to meet the people and especially the madam who gave the lecture here, that she strives very hard to preserve the originality of this village, to preserve the culture. Culture is the life of humans. 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, and 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 setting. And there is one culture which is international; there is only one culture to which all humans are belonging and existing according to that. 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. A healthy way of living—we should teach the people. I am very much wondering that the farmers of this Strilky village and surrounding area still have not begun with organic farming. Now, in the last two weeks, we will be 2,000 people here. And every day, 1,000 people have three meals. And we all are longing for organic vegetables and fruits. And in these three weeks, we will have altogether 3,000 people here. Now, I do not think that any village will get so many customers to buy their organic food like in Strilky. So I would suggest that we should have one conference or meeting with the farmers and experts about food, nourishment, and who have done research work about its effect on the body. I wish that the whole Strilky and all the surrounding area becomes very healthy and comes as an example on the world map. But we all must cooperate on that. Parvatī, you call her Donalova, she just told me that we need 11,000 crowns for the restoration of the organ, that we need to contribute. I was sitting like this and I said we need 11,000 crowns, and you will not imagine that within 5 minutes the money was there. The same thing happened last year also. So I just want to tell madam—excuse me, your name I do not remember—just for your information, that people here are very free-thinking, working for the ecology, for the protection of the culture, and so they see Strilky not as a stranger's village but like their own village. I suggest my disciples, young people, to settle in this area so that Strilky becomes again a more colorful village. So 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 culture and religions. Respect every culture. And understand every country's situation. So that will bring us towards 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 not with narrow thinking. We should not educate our children in that way, that only those who believe in our God have a right to live. Humanity has been suffering very much from this. And the second: 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. Especially, I wish a very happy and bright future for the children and that they also speak with their parents that they want to have a complete family, father and mother, and they should learn good things and, as Dr. Śānti 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. So I love you very much. Thank you all. God bless you. Adios.
