Śrī Dīpa Nirañjana Sabhā Dukkha Bhañjan. Prabhu Dīpa Nirañjana Sabhā Dukkha Bhañjan. Prabhu Dīpa Nirañjana Sabaduka Dīpa Nārāyaṇa. Bhagavān kī, Svāmī Mādhāvanandjī Gurudev kī. Gurudev said: "Graha gochar kā pāp nahīṁ lage, graha gochar kā tāp nahīṁ lage." Graha means the planets. Gochar refers to their negative influences—magic, black magic, the Ādhibhautik, Ādhidaivik, and Ādhyātmik afflictions, the Tri-Tāpa. As explained in previous lectures, these have no more effect. And the bhūta (ghosts), the preta (spirits, negative spirits), all this runs away from you. You don’t need any extra pūjā; you don’t need anything more. Everything is in this one mantra: Śrī Dīpa Nirañjana Sabadukha Bhañjan. This mantra says that through it, our mind will be purified from negative energy, negative thoughts, and from fear. There is also a negative mantra: your negative behavior, your negative words are a negative mantra. Some people want to make black magic and try to disturb others. But this mantra will create a kind of protection, like a bulletproof shield, so no negative energy can penetrate. Now, regarding these mantras—positive mantras—there is a certain system. Of course, the first is positive thinking. The best mantra is this: give up all harsh words. Then we call singing bhajans, singing prayers. Bhajans and prayers are mantra. Then singing kīrtan, constantly repeating the name of a particular divine incarnation. God said, "God Viṣṇu, the Lord of the entire universe," was residing in Vaikuṇṭha, in his residence. The great saint Nārada came and asked God Viṣṇu, "Lord, wherever I go, I see you in any part of the universe. And now I came here, I see you here." Once, someone had a doubt with Kṛṣṇa. Krishna had sixteen thousand female disciples, called gopīs, and about fifty-two thousand male disciples. So a person came and asked Krishna, "You are one, and there are sixteen thousand gopīs. How do you manage your relation to all of them? What relation do you have with them?" Krishna said, "Well, I don’t have time for such questions—'relation or no relation.' You should ask me how to be liberated. This question is not for me. Go and ask them." Immediately, he went to another room some meters away, knocked on the door, and a gopī opened it. What did he see? Krishna was sitting and drinking milk. He quickly went to another door and knocked. What did he see? Krishna was just dressing. He went quickly to another room: Krishna was bathing. He was completely confused. He ran back to Krishna’s room, and Krishna was sitting as before. "Did you get the answer?" The man said, "Your māyā I don’t understand: one in all and all in one." So our thinking is different, and God’s relation to us is different. We will not understand Him. You will not understand the Bhagavad Gītā unless you understand Kṛṣṇa. You cannot understand the Bhagavad Gītā if you don’t understand Kṛṣṇa. Krishna knows the Gītā. Those who know Krishna know what the Gītā is. A mother knows the Gītā, and only the mother knows who is the father of the child. Therefore, Nārada is asking Viṣṇu: "Lord, wherever I go, you are there. Wherever I stop in this space, you are there. Please, Lord, tell me your secret. Where are you mostly?" Lord Viṣṇu said, "I am not in Vaikuṇṭha, nor in the heart of the yogīs where yogīs are meditating on God in their heart. But I am there, O Nārada, where my bhaktas, my devotees, sing my name with love." Now, Krishna—or that Vishnu—means that God, in whom we believe, is present. But our personal God, our Iṣṭa Devatā, is there where we are singing His name. And so the first mantra is positive thinking. Don’t be angry at someone. Don’t shout at someone, whether someone talks to you or not. Sometimes you ask someone something, and the other doesn’t answer. You tell the same thing again, and the other is still not answering, and you become angry: "You know that I’m talking to you!" The husband says, "Yes, my dear, I know you are talking to me." So don’t give an immediately negative commentary. Don’t think that someone is a machine—you speak, and another one begins to answer back. Even machines sometimes do not, because the battery is down. The person you are asking, maybe his battery is down. Let him recharge the batteries; then he will talk to you without your questions. That is positive thinking. Singing the bhajans, and then singing the prayers—these are all positive mantras, very nice melodies, very nice singing. It doesn’t need translation. Suppose we are sitting here from many nations: participants from the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, entire Europe, many speaking different languages. Now, one artist comes with a flute and plays. Do you need translation? You don’t need a translation. The sound of the flute itself is a translation to every heart. That’s it. Truth. Bim Bam. Next time, remember: the prayers, the bhajans, the kīrtan don’t need a translation. That’s called the language of God. And God has the language of your heart. That’s why you don’t need translation—a very nice flute playing, or piano, or any instrument. That’s it.
