To Bhagavān, to Devāśvara Mahādeva, to the Dharma Emperor Satguru Svāmījī Madhavānanda Gurudeva, to the eternal truth of Sanātana Dharma. Before I begin my speech, I have one question. Who does not understand English? One, two, three, four, five, six. That is then not such a cheerful message for our international audience. So, unfortunately, we have to speak German now. Dear brothers and sisters around the world, welcome to this evening’s Satsang. This blessing is coming to you from Mahāprabhujī’s Ashram, Hamburg, Germany. Beautiful sunshine, beautiful lush greenery, and beautiful people. I welcome all of you here, as well as our president of the Ashram Association of Yoga and Daily Life of Germany, the Mantra Puri, Amrit, and all the committee members and Bhaktas. Now I have to speak in German, so if you understand, dear brothers and sisters, you are welcome to stay, and if not, then you may turn to YouTube. Good morning, and perhaps a few words about yesterday’s lecture. So, a very good evening to all our dear viewers. This evening, this satsang and blessings come to you from Our Sri Mahāprabhujī’s Ashram, Yoga in Daily Life, Hamburg, Germany, of course. We had a wonderful week in the program covering Mudras, Bandhas, Kriyas, breathing techniques such as Purāk, Rechāk, Kumbhak, Bahir-Kumbhak, Antar-Kumbhak, Jālandhara-Bandha, and Ujjāyī-Prāṇāyāma. We have spoken very little about Khechri Mudrā. Agneśa-kriyā, Uḍḍiyāna Bandha, Jālandhara Bandha, and Mūla Bandha. It was a very rich program, many, many techniques, many theories. And if the people of Hamburg and all the participants practice all this, in a year, perhaps, it may be that they will all be able to levitate. But the question is practice. Discipline, practicing everything. Today is the Pepsid ceremony in our āśrama in Hamburg. And here sits a bhajan band, our Sheva-Pudi from Hamburg. And he is truly a śāvak. Shavak means one who performs Seva or serves. Now, he has a great interest in Nāḍī Yoga. And as you can see, he has his tabla, he plays the tabla and some other instruments, and sings beautiful bhajans. We will organize a Bhajan Band in Germany, perhaps in Hamburg. That would be wonderful. From various countries. Austrians, Czechs, Slovaks, Germans. And we will see who wins the prize. Yes, there will be three hours of Bhajan Band singing. Beautiful. Now, I have a text in my hand, but unfortunately it is written in such a way that it is unreadable. But I will ponder a few words a little, to consider what that might mean. It is misspelled, and before that, I would like to tell a story. And indeed, it was a blind man. And we know that if God has not given someone eyes, He has given many other talents. Many blind people are best in music. Playing the piano, playing the sitar, playing the guitar, playing the tabla. And there are some saints who have been blind from birth. But they have all the scriptures, Vedas, Upaniṣads, Rāmāyaṇa, Gītā, and other books memorized. And so memorized that people can see it, their eyes wide open, and say, how does he know all this? We do not know that, we have not learned it. But God has given those people talent, given them intellect, and they speak so perfectly. There are also those people who cannot hear anything, yet they are the best singers. They already sing, speak, write, and much more. They say, perhaps the body may be disabled, but the soul is not disabled. Right? The body can be ill, but not the soul, not the Ātman. So, it is a mistake. Someone said, a healthy body has a healthy mind. That is nowadays, one could say, a discrimination. Compared to people who do not have healthy bodies but are fully awake, conscious, intellectual, and knowledgeable, and many who are completely healthy in their bodies. There are people who sit in wheelchairs, but they are so fair and so skilled in graphics and everything. So one cannot say, a healthy body has a healthy mind. That is incorrect. Similarly, this means that the body may be physically or mentally a little unwell, but the soul is not an ill soul. Some people say it is a sick soul. No, there is no sick soul. Yes, your thoughts are sick because you think them; the soul is sick. Have you seen the soul? If you were at the market, like at the vegetable market, you see, this apple is good and the other is rotten and this one is sick and so on. Did you see what the souls looked like? Therefore, it is also, in case one thinks, that there are diseased souls. When an illness comes, one should accept it as a form of discipline and must not complain to God, nor think that no one can help you. But it is a task, a life situation that we must or should go through. Every illness is a signal, every illness is a sign for us to accept, fully with awareness, understanding, and learning to live with it. Certainly one day, you will fully realize your life again and you will enjoy your life on other levels. This body is full of vikāra. The physical body is full of vikāra. Now, what is Vikāra? Vikāra can be said to mean illness. One can say vikāra, impurity. One can say vikāra, the complications. One can say vikāra is like a rotten monkey or rotten eggs. This body is full of vikāra. And you know, the bodies of other animals, especially the vegetarian animals, when they die, it does not start to stink immediately and does not, as we say, rot. And the other animals, they will begin to stink within a few hours. And especially the grain-eaters or those who eat grains, who begin to smell very quickly. And therefore, we know when a person dies. In a few hours, they will then be stored in a cold room. And you receive a beautiful, a mask, how do you say, a pendant. What? Stomach. For yours, also your toes, big toes. Mr. Birth and death were ours. And what is your passport now? In the cold room. So, our body is full of vīgara. We thank God for giving us such beautiful skin that covers everything. Beautiful. If what lies throughout the stomach were open or transparent, it would be somewhat unappetizing. Everything that goes into the nose, into the sinuses, into the brain, everywhere in the lungs, all of that is full of Vigara. And sometimes, whatever allergy is in the body, it also manifests through the skin. Yes, the skin. For the skin, it is very good to take kidney powder and apply a mask on your face. Every day your, all these little things and the skin problem will soon improve. And also biscuit with tea, take it, drink it, it cleanses everything. Vigara, so this body is a bag full of Vigara. Nevertheless, the soul dwells in this body, a beautiful soul. Quite beautiful, peculiar, indescribably beautiful, radiant. Whether it is a human soul or that of an animal or a mosquito. It is not about quantity, but quality. And what shines in this soul is the Ātma, the Self, Eternity. The soul is the victim of our actions or destiny. The soul comes and the soul goes. The Ātma is always present. So Vikāra. Body full of Vikāra. Kaph, Pitta, and Vāta. Feces, urine, semen, as well as stool, urine, blood, and many other types of hormones. Everything in this body. So we thank God that He has arranged everything so beautifully. A beautiful package like a chocolate or something, very nice. Inside, what is it—one knows, a saint. There was a saint who was blind, and every blind person, we say, acts in such a way because the blind man was very holy, a great saint, but he was blind. And therefore, it was said that his name was... That was Surdas. Sur means two, the sun, or a hero. It means servant, helper, devoted one. Surdas was blind, poor, and he was a great bhakta of God Krishna. And his devotion and his singing, poems, bhajans, what he has written, full of devotion, full of longing, pain. Viraha. Viraha is a kind of pain, a longing. Desire, longing for something. Viraha. Viraha means spiritual love, spiritual longing. And so, when Shurdash sang, God Krishna came to him as a little baby. And Krishna is seated there, listening to his bhajans. But how was he to know that Krishna was sitting there? He was blind. And then Krishna said, Shurdash said, do not play with me like that. I know that you are sitting before me, but you also know that I cannot see anything with the physical eyes. But I see you, feel that you are sitting beside me. And then suddenly people come and see, Christa is sitting there, and Christa sees the people coming, Christa again, who is working with you. And there, Mira is singing a beautiful bhajan, a beautiful bhajan. And this bhajan is Tadāpana, Tadāpana means suffering, misery, like someone who takes a fish out of the water. And sees how the fish suffers, moves, opens its mouth, it suffers. Pain, great pain, that is called Tadāpnā. And so, oh Lord, when You say this to me, my mind suffers. One who longs for the vision of Haridarsana suffers. Today my mind is so restless and suffering and painful. Lord, for what? I wish to see Hari Darsan, my God. Hari, Vishnu, Krishna. And says, Mandira Mandira Murata Teri. In every temple, there is a statue, oh Krishna. In every temple, your statue is present. Oh, my beloved, yet still I do not see your radiance, your face. O my Lord, do not hide, like closing the eyes and wandering here and there. Gatt, gatt, go wash, gatt, gatt, gatt means heart, gatt means vessel. Ghatakas, Mathakas, Hirdayakas, Chidakas, Akas, and Mahakas. Do you remember? When did we speak? Friday, not yesterday. So Ghat Ghatke Vasi, who dwells in every heart, resides. O Krishna, you dwell in every heart. And Mirabai also says, Today my eyes are thirsty to see God. And so Surdas, the saint who sings, and Krishna sits beside him and listens to his songs, what Surdas has written, full of devotion, love. God comes to us. We do not need to go anywhere. It is love that will bring realization, not anything else. But if you play with your love back and forth, then you are lost. But only those know what this love is. And this love transcends all matter. There is nothing in the body. It is not in matter. It is very subtle, invisible, but it is there. And so Surdaji says, Lord, I do not see you, but still, I know who you are. And Surdaji said, Prabhu Meri, Avaguna Chitana Dharam. My Lord, please, do not notice, do not take into your attention. My mistakes. Perhaps I have made so many mistakes. My Lord, please do not notice my mistakes. Aberguna. Aberguna means Guna and Aberguna. Guna means quality. Guna means quality. So here, attribute. Guna, dear ones, are good qualities; aberguna, the bad quality. Surdas, the blind one, did absolutely nothing. His entire life was nothing but singing the name of God. Surrender, day and night. He sang his name and composed poems. So perfect, so beautiful. There is no music school in India that does not sing the songs of Surdas, of Mīrā, of Kabīrdās, and so on. And this is a beautiful song, a favorite song of many, many musicians. And when a great musician sings with a good voice, all the listeners have tears in their eyes. When they sing, the voice is a divine voice. Not like my voice, like a broken bomb whistle. Prabhuji, my eyes are trembling because of this, my gentlemen, please do not mind my poor eyes, but rather my inherent qualities. And that otherwise we pray to God, forgive, that means the Lord, God will take away our sins. Even anger is also a sin. And therefore the sacred Ganga, at the very beginning of the Satta Yuga, came to this planet to remove all sins. Brahmā subdued the Gaṅgā here on this planet. The same drastic name, Tiharu, oh my Lord, you are known. Your name is very well known, precisely because you do not see any duality. No dualism. Samdrashti, Equal Vision, Equality, whether he is a president or a low-ranking official. A human is a human. And in the end, both go beneath the earth. Or into the fire. Don’t they say, this is a president, we should toss him a little up into the sky. He’s driving somewhere again, wrecking some cars. Right? Everyone must pass through a door, no matter who they are. When the vision is the same, Lord, You are the one who sees all as one, with the same eyes, with the same love. Prabhuji, hold my eyes and trembling, oh Lord, please do not note my faults. The seer sees all equally, whether you cross or not, now it depends only on you, oh my Lord. If you wish, you can bring me and my boat to other shores or to the mainland. If you wish, cross over; if you want, you can surely liberate me, grant Moksha. The decision is in your hands. I can only say, please forgive my faults. And then there is an example. I told or shared this example with you yesterday. About stone, pair of stones. Does it remind you? So, he says, I remain immersed in loha pūjā. Loha is iron. A piece of iron like a bell or a knife for Prasāḍa cutting, or a Triśūla as something sacred. We have here on the altar for Puja. A loha, a piece of iron, lies on the altar in Puja. We pray. And the second piece of iron is like a knife at a butcher’s. This is also an iron piece, perhaps from the same batch. One was a bell, made for Puja, and the other was a knife, the knife or any weapon, he used that. Now, how many innocent animals or the like has he killed with this knife. So, it was this iron that always went in and came out. That is what he wants to convey with this. Qualities. Effect. Usage. One thing in the pūjā. And we will be held firmly in the hands and perform the pūjā. Other knives, even animals, tremble when they see the couple’s guṇ, but do not see the guṇ. Pāres’stone. It does not perceive differences. Qualities, but qualities. Good qualities or bad qualities. Parash does not see this. Parash does not discriminate. He acts with pure compassion. Our Parash has his Dharma and immediately transforms into gold. Kanchan. Kanchan is gold. Kanchan karat kharo. Prabhuji, how much of my faults do You bear? O Lord God, have mercy, Keep in your mind, do not notice my mistakes. Forgive me. O Lord, forgive my mistakes. Forget it. Chitta na dharo. Don’t hold it in your mind. Let it go out. The bhakta offers proof of God. Indirectly. Don’t keep this in your mind. This is love. It is like the scythe cutting through the times. Coming and going. But when this sewage merges into the river, then it is no longer called sewage. Surseri is a sacred river, and no one says it is sewage water, but Surseri water. Many, many sewage waters flow into the Ganga. But we do not see it as dirty water, because the Ganga purifies everything. Similarly, oh Lord, it may be that my consciousness, my actions, are like this sewage water, but my consciousness was anchored in Your consciousness, then I am no longer anything, just this channel. I am Brahma, I am Jīva, I am Brahma-Kahavat, Lord, one is the Jīva, the individual soul, and the second is Brahman, the Self, the highest Self, Brahman. Sur, Shyam, Jagadu, Lord, this is my struggle between you and me. Sur is Surdas and Shyam is Krishna. So Surdas says to Krishna, this is it, this is why the strike is happening, this is what the strike is about. But Lord, one day, please grant me liberation, Lord, this time. This time in this life, please, let me cross over. Let me cross over. Ocean of Māyā, ocean of illusion, ocean of unreality. I do not want to get involved in this dispute, but the Jīva and the Brahma and this and that, all of it, I only want one thing. Abkibar Moeparotar. Lord, this time please in my life, Help me so that I can get through. Nehito Pranajat Hamāro. When it is sung so beautifully, it is such a beautiful song, indescribable. And what is indescribable? The feelings. And these are the feelings of devotion, respect, beauty, and lamentation as well. from a surrendered one to God or And so it is. This is a very beautiful version. Next time, we will write a little better so that you can learn more effectively. Because the Shevapuri was singing and I didn’t understand at all what he was singing. But thank God, I got a text. However, it is written a little incorrectly. Gajanan has tried to do it well, but that is only for a mind like Gajanan’s. We should know, Gajanan, that our head is like his head. That is it. Thank you. So we will stick to the usual language corrections. Very good. Deepnalen Bhagwaniki Devishwara Mahādeva Madhava Krishna Bhagwaniki Satya Sanātan Dharma Next bhajan please, Sevapuri and Anandi, Savitri and all bhajan groups, not the same, others. So, you will sing bhajan for half an hour, then I will come to you, okay? Okay, you have already eaten dinner and still nothing. Let’s do it this way: those who haven’t eaten yet, quietly leave from the back, eat, and then come back. The satsang continues with the bhajan session. Okay, good. Let us both do satsang. They say, O Gopāla, it is Krishna, I cannot meditate on an empty stomach. I cannot practice mantra on an empty stomach; there is your mala, you should use it, Krishna. The bhakta says, with an empty stomach I cannot meditate, here is your mala, you can do it, I am leaving. So please. Okay. Singing, that is enough. In the dance, beautifully sung and also the part with the guru guitar, very beautiful. Guitar means song. Glory in Kali-Yoga is easier for people to realize the goal through Yoga or devotion. Unfortunately, now not many people either, lose Bhakti as well. It has been said, Kaliyuga is merely a name, a faint shadow; only those who are deeply immersed in worldly existence become its inhabitants. Kaliyuga is merely a name without support. The only support we have in Kaliyuga is the Name of God, the mantra. Every mantra is a name of God, of the highest principle. Sumara, Sumara, Nara, Hoi, Bhava, Para, O people. By meditating and repeating, you can cross this ocean of ignorance. Kevala, Nama, Adhara. But it is also said that when Kali Yuga comes to an end, people will behave even worse than animals. The habit of a person, how they behave, their ethics and morals will suffer, aggression will increase more and more, which means again the qualities of the Rākṣasa, the demon, emerge. A person completely loses what is called grace from the human heart. Every living being has love and grace, but very limited. And in the human heart, through human consciousness, the intellect in the heart moves only patience, love, or grace. What we say, Kripa, Kripa Nidhana, oh Lord, you are gracious. And that is in the human heart. Grace also means forgiveness, understanding, possessing, guiding, helping. So, what we say is God’s grace, God’s grace realized through the human heart in this world. And where one loses grace for a person, with feeling, cruelty then arises. One word, cruelty, encompasses all bad qualities and all the harm a person can do. To be cruel. And then it is the end of the Kali-Yuga. We still have a few generations to wait, but it is like, as I said, when in winter in Hamburg in the month of January, early January, with a clear sky, dark night, and suddenly at six o’clock in the morning or half past six, you see a dawn, a light. And dawn is hope. Now the question is, at which dawn. And so the Kali-Yuga is already on the dark horizon as twilight. The side of decline, the evening light. Agnidev, you’re leaving already? All the best. And so the disciple of Mahāprabhujī, Mangilālji, writes a beautiful bhajan about the end of the world. When and how it will be, and who will not be a victim of it. He says, be assured, Gurudev will come to fetch you or take you along beforehand. So, which soul is automatically united with Parabrahma. And so the Kali-Yuga, one now observes in the behavior from one person to another, one person to another person, in families with children, parents, partners, teachers, students, business partners, and so on. One sees. And the hunger of desire, which is called greed, has no end. And so, when it believes, Business, Business,... Money, Money, Money. And Jesus clearly said this to his disciples and people. You should not believe in the false god. He said gold, you worship gold as God. And when that will be, then you have lost the path. And the time has come again, my business is everything. Damn it, I can run a train on that. Say it, exactly, persistently. And this is a dance of the Kali-Yuga. And so, they are still safe and will come and will be forgiven. Prabhuji, my eyes are the support of consciousness; God will not let our small, small mistakes pass unnoticed. He will forgive or purify. Small mistakes, like eating ice cream at night, will be forgiven by you. You don’t get Karyas in your teeth. And that is how it is. So, Schatzang is also a spiritual path of development. One recited a poem, "In heaven there is fire now, fire has broken out." And great radiance, fiery radiance, descends into this world. If the śādhus, the holy ones, were not present in this world, then the entire world would be completely consumed by fire. And so the fire signifies this negativity. Anger, hatred, envy, greed, jealousy, cruelty. And so, the constitutional and spiritual course with a spiritual person is a protection. And the fire will fall. And now people are not content on this planet. They have pretty much destroyed this planet, and now they want to destroy another planet as well. Going to Mars. Who will be the Marsen here on Mars? Can one think about how to live there? Ah yes, rebirth, that is something different. In other forms, in other elements. There is no Patstattwa there. And have they ever thought about how all the people we transport here will be there? This is the greed of a human being. This is a hunger. Or one might say, a bottomless glass. Gives in, gives everything, flows out. Where is it necessary for all this to be done? And why not the poor people in many, many countries suffer, have no medicine, no this, no water, and so on. Our planet would be so beautiful and people would be so happy, everyone would have food, drink, clothing, work, everything. No, we do not want that. Tax, tax stool, and factory and rifle and killing. What is this? What does this person truly want now? We are now witnessing so many storms; they have only caused dementia. Day by day, we see the desert, how the desert grows. no green leaves to be seen. And so it is, as an Indian once said, The last tree will be cut down or lost, and the last fish will die. Oh man, human being, you will see, then Akelai will be crowned, your Viveka will awaken. You cannot eat your dollar. Or your euro-dollar. You cannot eat gold either. A man had a desire to have a CD. Perfection. And he went into the forest and meditated and meditated. God, God,... God. So then God said, Shiva came and said, well, should I go to him after all? He said, yes, my child, what do you wish for? He asked, are you God? He said, yes. Then why do you ask what I desire? You know everything. And God, she said, yes, I know. But I want to hear it from your mouth. And so many people come to me and say, but I don’t need to say anything, you know everything. And when I say something, I say that it is wrong. I did not wish for this. This is it. The play of creation. So I say, I really don’t know what you mean. So God has said, has said, what can be beautiful. Give me a CD, God, a Supernatural Power. Whatever I touch turns to gold, like the Parashu. God has said, are you sure that you want all the gold? You said, yes, gold, I am, God said, okay, adio. God has gone home, and the man has gone home. And when his grandchild comes, grandfather, grandfather, and at 8 o’clock grandfather says, the grandchild has walked in gold. He stands there, gold is the starting path. What happens to the second one, Grandfather? He too has become gold. And now Grandfather said, I am thirsty. Take water and glass, water is gold, glass is gold. I am hungry, he takes the śapatti, it is gold. Everything it touches turns to gold. Well, that is it. That is the Māyā. Well, his wife has arrived. And the great-grandmother has also become gold. And now his son and everyone who comes does not come closer. They say, please leave the house. So, he went back again and said, God, please, what have you done to me? God has come and said, I have done nothing at all. You wanted that. That was your wish. And so, God said, please help me. Then God said, alright, now everything will return to normal. Go home. Come home, touch everyone, everything has become normal. So, what is being drunk by humans, drunk,... drunk. And so it began, greed, in the Satya Yuga, the Devas and Rākṣasas started churning the ocean, and poison emerged. People say this is a fairytale, that the Indians have an idea, in the Purāṇa poison appears. It had come as blue poison like smoke. And now, when you see, the Americans have drilled these. And now these poisons do not know what to do. Now we need Shiva. And He was, and He is, and He will be. And so, we have an inner struggle. We churn ourselves up inside. And so, whoever overflows in this way, will cause those closest in life to overflow as well. Big teeth, cracking nuts. So, bhakti, devotion, love, and grace. In the human heart dwells grace towards all living beings. And so satsang is where one learns. And you know, there are few swans, but many crows are present. There are few diamonds, but many stones and large rocks are present. So, there are few Bhaktas, truly seekers. All the others who want to practice yoga and this and that, want to do it on themselves. Someone asked me, do you know Master, the leg yoga? And now, if wine-yoga exists, this might be an advertisement. When you come to the yoga class, there is a girl standing in the anteroom, like on an airplane. In first class, business class, they come with the tree, with the water and juice and wine and so on. And she is standing there with the wine. Practice like this, enter into it, and you will receive wine. Then it is fine, and inside all the wine is felt. During the break, you get another sip of distilled essence. And when the course is finished, everyone sits together and drinks, and then they go home. And so it is. This wine tasting completely dispenses with all your good Gunas. And so it is. Everyone says, this is Yoga. Well, because Shiva holds the copyright, and Shiva says nothing at all. But thank God that we have our yoga in daily life, a system, and our yoga teachers and future teachers who will follow all these principles. And we have a licensing system because we want quality. And there is no compromise on quality. So, that is all for today. I wish you all the best, and tomorrow is a holiday for me, Shiva Day. And on Tuesday there will be another webcast, at 9:30 in the evening. So we will see what the topic will be. Until then, I wish you all the best, a pleasant Sunday evening, and God’s blessings. Until next time. Adio. The plans at Warnicke.
