Words cannot express certain feelings because there are two languages. One is the language of the intellect, which comes from the brain and must be put into words. The other language is silent, from the heart; that is called the language of love. To simply be there speaks everything. When you enter an āshram, temple, mosque, or church, you automatically become silent. Everyone speaks with the heart to God, and everyone receives the answer. Everyone has a relation, a personal relation. Though there are hundreds of thousands of people inside, they each have a very personal relationship, and that is beautiful because the language of the heart does not need words or translations. You have heard many things. Swāmī Bhaktānandajī spoke nicely about the Kumbh Melā. You saw yesterday’s video about the Kumbh Melā, and you have read about Holy Gurujī, my master, your great master. You have seen Holy Gurujī in a video; some of you are lucky ones who saw him in person. You also see his picture. Holy Gurujī, the holy master, is our spiritual master, the very close successor of Mahāprabhujī. Mahāprabhujī was the successor of Śrī Devpurījī, and Devpurījī was the successor of Śrī Alakhpurījī. Alakhpurījī, who lives in the Himalayas, is not accessible to anyone. He comes only in visions, but not in form; sometimes he will appear, but very, very rarely. His body, as described by Devpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, and others, is a transparent body. When he walks, there is no shadow of his body; there is no footprint on the ground. It is as if he is always walking above the ground. He is called the master of the Himalayan Siddhas, Siddhayā Purījī, and we are connected to that spiritual lineage. The life of Alakhpurījī—we cannot tell how many thousands of years it is. He is still there; he is capable of materializing and dematerializing himself on every planet. Mostly he is residing and moving between Kedārnāth and Badrīnāth, two holy places in the Himalayas. Śrī Alakhpurījī gave all these powers to Śrī Devpurījī, who lived in Rajasthan, as Śiva. The village where he lived was also named Kailāsh, because Lord Śiva lives in Mount Kailāsh. His disciple is Mahāprabhujī, Bhagvān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī, who also lived in Rajasthan, in the district of Nagaur. The place is called Khatu. Mahāprabhujī lived nearly 135 years. Whatever a human can imagine or think that God can do, or what can happen in His presence—all that happened in the presence of Mahāprabhujī. Even now, whatever I think, wish, and ask of Mahāprabhujī, my wish comes true. Unfortunately, I did not meet Mahāprabhujī in physical form, but He is very directly connected to me from many lives. Holy Gurujī describes many times, very nicely in these bhajans, my relation to Mahāprabhujī. When Holy Gurujī found how close I am to Mahāprabhujī, he began to give me more respect, nearly like devotion, very much respect. It was very unpleasant for me, because he is my master, no matter what. It is something very divine; between master and disciple is a very personal and divine relationship that cannot be described through words. Similarly, we also have an indescribable relation of happiness and joy. The duty of the disciple is to maintain this relation, to cultivate it. Otherwise, it will die again day by day. The mantra which you received today is like putting a seed inside your heart. It begins to warm up, it will fertilize, and it will sprout. You will not get an egg, but you will get a cosmic golden egg that comes from the Vedas and Upaniṣads; it is called Hiraṇya Garbha. Hiraṇya means gold, Garbha means embryo—the golden embryo. This cosmic golden egg comes from the Vedānta, from the Upaniṣads, about Hiraṇyagarbha. Therefore, you see how everything is linked to the Sanātana Dharma. The entire universe is an egg; everything is round. Everything is in the form of a small ball; energy is also like a small ball. Even the light of the sun does not come straight; it goes circling, circulating light. Everything is moving in the round. We are also circulating—rebirth and death, rebirth and death. It is called recycling. The spiritual name is reincarnation. In modern language, this word was not there previously. We took this word more since we began to destroy our planet with chemical things, and then we realized, "Aha, this cannot be recycled." But the word "recycling" is rooted from "reincarnation." So, do you believe in recycling? Then where is the problem to believe in reincarnation? You have more knowledge about this material, not about the spiritual, and so, the recycling process. Everything again, cycling, you see, so everything comes round. So, Hiraṇya Garbha, the golden embryo; the mother's womb is called the egg. Within the egg, that life is called the golden embryo. There is a garden, meaning the cosmic consciousness, the divine consciousness—awakening in this cosmos, the awakening of the consciousness. When the master initiates the disciple, it is just like he lights the candle. In the Gurū Gītā it is nicely said: "Kindle my heart with thy light, O Satgurū, kindle my heart's flame with thy light. O Lord, kindle my heart's friend with your light, light to light." When the master touches you, you receive the blessing on your forehead; the light went in. For some of you it went in very strong. I had the light come back to me from someone today. At that time, it is not whose I am blessing; it was all these divinities, all these divine beings who came to this channel, and it flowed to you. This is called re-initiation. This is called a Sadgurū, a Gurūdīkṣā, Gurūmantra-dīkṣā. We have many masters. We have many masters; even the cat is our master. That is why we made a cat pose. The cat has the most beautiful and flexible back, and so we have this cat pūjā exercise. We learn from her. There are many gurus: first is mother, father, friends, school teacher, religious teacher, nature, and so on. Then one day you come to the Satgurū, the self-realized master of the soul. There, everything is melting. There, the ice blocks melt into one ocean; the waves of love come and touch, and it melts. That is the final initiation. The master never dies, and the disciple also never dies. So do not think that now my master died, no one is there to guide me. Should I search for other masters? No, the master will never die, and he will find you and guide you through the whole universe. The mantra which you received is not only for this life. Only 10% is for this life, but 90% is to guide you through the astral world, where these material forces and elements cannot do anything to you. Your wealth, your position, nothing can help you. Even the president of a big country will die. His guards will not go with him; he or she has to find a way alone, either through the darkness or through the light. Destiny will decide in which direction the soul should go. The mantra will be your guide who will show you the light, the path. All difficulties will be cleared from your path. So the greater importance of the mantra is for our life beyond this material life. Here, if something happens, you can go to your parents, children, mother, brother, doctor, hospital, and so on. But which doctor, hospital will be there? More is that protection of the mantra; it will lead and protect and give us again another beautiful, happy, harmonious, healthiest life. Gholī Gurujī is writing one beautiful bhajan, and the mantra—it seems to be his personal mantra. First I will translate, and then we will sing. This mantra, which I will translate and sing, is the biggest purification for our Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra and opening of the petals of the Anāhata, the heart center. How? That he will tell in this mantra. We put Oṃ, and Gurujī is writing here because for the singing it is easier when we do Śrī. You need not sing; I will translate first. Śrī Dīpa Nirañjana Sabaduka Bhañjana Śrī Dīpa Nirañjana Sabaduka Bhañjana Isī mantra se hove mana mañjana Isī mantra se hove mana mañjana. Śrī dīpa nirañjana sabaduka bhañjana Prabhu dīpa nirañjana sabaduka bhañjana Śrī means Lakṣmī. Śrī means wisdom. Śrī means happiness. Śrī means prosperity. Śrī means luck. That is why mostly in spiritual names and Vedic names in India, when we have respect for someone, we say Śrī first. First comes Śrī. First comes Lakṣmī. She comes first. Śrī, and then follows the father, your name. That pure light, that pure cosmic light which will solve all your problems, all sufferings. Isī mantra se hove mana mañjana. Mañjana means to clean, to purify. Anything you are cleaning is called mañjana. When you clean your teeth, then it is called danta mañjana. When you clean your cloth, it is mañjana; pots, glass, or some brass material—when you clean nicely, then it is shining. So, ishī mantra se hove mana mañjana: through this mantra, your mind will be purified. The problem is mental pollution; if the mind is pure, then no problem. Without any doubts and fear, just take off, that is it. But the mind is very, very complicated; we want to purify the mind. Viśva jyoti, viśva dīpa jyoti urme jāge. When you repeat this mantra, then the cosmic flame, the flame of cosmic love, the light—that cosmic flame will awake in your heart. Viśva Dīpa, the universal light, Viśva Dīpa Jyoti, in the form of the flame, Urmay Jagay. Ur is the name of the heart—awakes in this. When that pure love awakes in the heart, there is no fear, there are no doubts. That is what we are all searching for. Abhaya Pada Pāve Kaṭe Śabda Bandhana. Abhaya Pada. Abhaya means fearlessness. You get that position of fearlessness; there is no more fear—neither fear from the worldly things nor fear from death and birth, no more fear because you are already above all this. You go to the wild safari, and there are many lions or tigers or wild elephants that want to take you. And you are sitting in the helicopter, just to take off. All fear remains down, so you are above now, above. And it cuts all the bandages of the karmas, all the bandages of sufferings and everything, just finished. Hari Oṃ. This was mantra initiation when you got this; it is called abhiṣeka. That means when my thumb moved up to your sahasrāra chakra, it cut all these bandages. You felt like that, no? There are constellations, different constellations of different planets, and that is called tritāpas, the three causes of our sufferings. So we will not have any more the effect or influence of all these planetary constellations or their radiance which influences our life, because you are already beyond. Now you are bulletproof; in modern language we can say bulletproof. There will be no negative or black magic which can influence your life. It does not matter; one can do all kinds of techniques to influence you, do some magic on you, nothing will happen. It is like a very nice glass window, transparent, and some negative energy comes like a fly to touch you, and it will give a bang. The fly will harm itself, but it will not come through; that is bulletproof. So when you have this guru mantra dīkṣā from Gurudeva, then you are protected. This is not a mantra for haṭha yoga techniques. It is not a mantra just for meditation; it is not. Now, this is according to what we are doing, and that is in Yoga in Daily Life, that this is very higher techniques, a higher path. If you practice every day āsanas or prāṇāyāma, that does not matter. If you do, your health will be good; if you do not do, your health will not be good, that is all. But haṭha yoga cannot give you liberation. The torturing of your body and bending your body this and that direction will not give you liberation, my dear. Otherwise, you know, this batman hanging whole day head down and legs up—if you are standing on your head, so knowledge is the path and guru kṛpā, the blessing of the master, is the liberation. Therefore, no ghost, no spirit, no black magic, no negative energies can attack you. Be sure, I tell you now; that is why I use the word bulletproof. Understand me? Tino tāpa pāpa mit jāve. There are three sins which are disturbing us: Adhibhautik, adhidaivik, adhyātmik. These are the three causes of our suffering, and we are afraid about this. They give us troubles: trouble from the creatures in this world, troubles from the illnesses which attack us, and the trouble from the astral beings, the spirits. These are adhibhautik, adhidaivik, adhyātmik. When we cross these three borders, we are above all this. Repeating the mantra your master gives you is a protection, like you use a mosquito net against the mosquitoes. Similarly, now, it is a protecting net around you—that your aura which you have, and outside of your aura, there is a layer of protection. This mantra is already working in you. This blessing is working. What a beautiful thing; I wish my master would have explained it to me so nicely. I would also have repeated more, but my master just said, this is mantra, go and practice prāṇāyāma. That is it, but he explained it a different way. Tinohi tāpa pāpa mita jāve avichala sukha pāve paramānandan. What a beautiful, avichala sukha. Avichala means unmovable; it is not anymore moving. No settable, nothing, no changeable; avichala sukha. Sukha means happiness. Sukha means pleasure. Sukha means divine. Sukha means comfortable. So this unshakable happiness is called divine bliss. When the divine bliss awakes in your heart, then the whole world will be completely different. It will be divine; you see the divine world; happiness is here; you will feel happiness here. God gave life to be happy, and how are we? Human, always falling somewhere into unhappiness. It is boring, you know; when there is little happiness, then it is boring. So we do something again, and then, immediately or after a few years, it will be so unhappy. So you will say, Master, why did you not warn me? If the Master will warn you now, then you will be angry. There is a dry bone and a dog got it, and he is biting, but it is not good; his teeth are bleeding, and he is sucking his own blood, and he thinks it is tasteful, you know. But it is causing his own blood. And if you try to take this bone near, the dog will show his nice teeth. Wow, you know. So if someone is now thinking, this is my pleasure and my happiness, and if you say, do not do this, then we will show. Therefore, that is a time that you should just go one, two steps back. Let the dog and his bone, that is it. Therefore, what is changing is unreality, and what is not changing is reality. Avicallapada. "Pada" means the position, or to be there, or in that. Avicallapada pavaya paramānandan, paramānanda. "Param" means the bliss, supreme. "Param" means the supreme, and "ānanda" means the bliss—the supreme bliss. In this material world also, you will get perfections, wealth, happiness, harmony. Even this will be created in your life if you practice correctly, discipline, this mantra. While repeating this mantra, your body will become like a golden body. Here, "kanchan" means healthy; your body will turn into good health. The mantra and blessing is the best remedy. Your inner willpower is the best remedy. You say, "No, now I will do this," and you decide, "I will get rid of this disease," and you will do it. I do not know the name, I have forgotten, but you may remember there was one African man, and he was paralyzed. He had to go with a wheelchair, and he decided once that he did not want the wheelchair anymore, and began to walk, and he said he wanted to win the Olympics in running. And he won three times the gold medal in running in the Olympics. He was an African. I do not remember the name. Okay, I have to ask Swāmī Chidānanda. He told the complete history of this person. He was not going in the wheelchair, you know, he could not walk two steps. But he awoke his inner will: "I will do," and he did it. We have here Bābā's mantra sister. She did not come today because she had to go somewhere to work, and she had cancer. It was so highly developed, the doctor gave up hope, and she had so many problems. She could not even sit on a chair. She could not sit on the floor, many, many things. Then suddenly her inner will awoke. She said, "I will cure my disease," and she changed her way of life with a strong will. Now, no one can say that she had cancer. All tests are negative. So when we get a health diagnosis test negative, be happy, it is a negative. There was one man in his life, everything was happening and he was always unhappy, coming to his office and at home and said, "This is negative, that is negative, everything is negative. My life is negative, my wife is negative to me, my colleagues are negative, oh God, everything is negative in my life." One day, he had to go for a blood diagnosis, and so something happened. The doctor told him the test is positive for cancer. He came into the office and said, "Thanks to God, at least one positive in my life." So, for a health diagnosis, negative is a good sign. Therefore, through the name of God, the willpower awakes, the energy awakes. The other forces come in us and we are feeling better. You feel like now God takes your life in His hands. It is something, you know, this love you cannot describe. Then you are one with thyself, and the strong willpower decision comes. Then it is said, Mīrā, a very great holy saint, Mīrā Bāī, in Rajasthan she was born. She was a queen and she gave up everything and she became a saint. She said very nicely, "Now my concentration is drawn to the lotus feet of my master." Swāmī Mīrā is teaching this song in her Nādasālā. She is a very good, great Nāda yogī because she was initiated by a very great saint. His name was Swāmī Nadānanda. When he was singing, "Oṃ," his sahasrāra chakra was vibrating. He put a coin on his head and he was singing "Oṃ," and the coin was dancing there. That means his nāda was awakened; the tenth door was opened. So Mīrā said that only in the center of the Gurudev, the whole world is just like a svapna. We are talking about crossing the ocean, the worldly ocean, the ocean of māyā. But she said, "My ocean is dried up." Now I do not worry about crossing the ocean because it is dried. There is no more ocean, so there is no more māyā. There is no more temptation, nothing. Thanks to my master, everything is gone there. It is a beautiful bhajan, this also, but I will translate for this one. "Nema sedhya," where was it? This is "Nāma Subharā Se Kāya Hove Kanchan." "Nema sedhya ave to darśana pave." If you practice discipline, then you will have the vision of God. An American businessman tells, "The key to success is self-discipline." There is one consulting company and teaching them. So these are two words, nearly like their copyright or their logos: "Self-discipline is key to success." And you do not get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate. So you have to negotiate with God. How to negotiate with God? Be humble, repeat His name. That is it. Like children are negotiating with their parents to get ice cream, and they do get it. Learn to negotiate with God, and that means prayer, mantras, feel His presence. "Kabhī na kabhī to uskī nazar hamāre taraf jāyegī, dīnudayāl kī nazar paṛegī, bhaṅkegī." Sometimes, maybe one day, there will be a resonance near his ear that we are calling him. And his divine grace look will fall upon us. When his divine look falls upon us, it is like thousands, millions of years of darkness in a cave. When the light is on, the darkness disappears, so the sins of many, many lives vanish when the Guru's grace comes. But one has to be receptive. Nāma se dhyāve to darśana pave: if you are disciplined in practice, you will have that divine vision. Devī devatā kare sambandhana: then, my dear, all goddesses and gods will adore you. The angels will come with folded hands and adore you because you have become that one, adorable, through what? Through your mantra, because you have received this. It is not a fairy tale what I am telling you; it is not a story. These are the words of those great saints who were one with God, and out of their own experiences and realizations, they are speaking. It is not just that you sit near the beach and write a poem. They write the poem from their divine consciousness and their feelings. It is their feelings; if you like it or not, it is your problem. A painter paints what he likes. If you like it or not, for him it is something great, and there will be many who will say, "Oh my God, this is very nice, some very good art." An artist has no expectation; an artist does not want somebody to admire how nice his picture is; he is putting his world into it. Artists are those who create something which is not in this world. The intuition of the artist and the intuition of the poet can reach that point where the sunlight does not reach, the spiritual one. That is called poetry. But sitting there and painting a kangaroo, looking at the kangaroo and doing this and that, nicely capturing the anatomy of the kangaroo, okay, that is better than nothing, but it is something more. So if you put through your words your feelings and your experiences, because he or she is so happy that she just puts it on. When Mīrā began to sing, it was not that she wanted to show everybody. They do not want to show, but she was singing like this and wrote. This was her love letter, you can say, to God. When she was disappointed that Kṛṣṇa did not come, then she was angry again, and she said, "If I knew that while falling in love with you, my Lord, there would be so many troubles, then I would drum in the streets so nobody should fall in love with God," because of her disappointment. Then the Supreme was smiling upon her. You know how the end of her life was? The end of her life was great; full of disappointment, full of suffering in her heart, full of pain, she went to the temple of Kṛṣṇa to complain to him and say, "My Lord, why do you not unite me with you?" At that minute, there was a flame burning, like this divine flame, in the temple of Kṛṣṇa. One flame came out of Mīrā's body, and two flames united in one place, and her body dematerialized. That is it; there was not a single cell of Mīrā's body that remained. Only her dress was there, that is all; she dematerialized. That is why I am saying that she was great. She is our heartbeat; she has taken a permanent place in our heart as a devotee of God, as a lover of God. She was born in Rajasthan, in the desert, very near where Mahāprabhujī was also incarnated, and there is her temple. One day we should go; when you come to India, we must go to her place. If you have not been there, you have seen that; to go to her birthplace. Mīrā; Mīrā means the sun. Otherwise, the name Mīrā means the sun; well, that was her song, what I want to tell. Many, many songs; every day when Indian radio opens the station, there is a half hour where spiritual songs come first—some mantras and then spiritual songs. You know how many thousands of radio stations we have in India? We have thirty-five official languages and 3,700 dialects. There are so many radio stations, not 3,700, but you can say at least 1,500 radio stations. When they open, they first sing some song of holy persons. Mostly it will come from Mīrā, because that is how powerful our songs are. That awakens in your consciousness a clarity, a love towards all, and a devotion. Your whole day's life is so happy and peaceful; that is her blessing. So, my dear, do not think that if women cannot become holy, you can become holy. But you have to follow very strict rules sometimes, you know. Women are a box of emotion, a bag of emotion, you know; there is a plate or a bowl, not a cup, and it is full of water or oil. Now it is full with water or oil, and now you have to walk on a rope from this wall to that wall. Not one drop should fall down. That is the life of a woman: for a woman to walk from this wall to that wall without dripping her emotions somewhere else. But you can. And the man is like, what you call, the knife, the sharpening of the knife blade, and the cheese. Now you have to hit this blade on the cheese, but the cheese is a man, and now he has to walk on the blade of the knife. If the man will break, if he will go through, it will fall down well in the fire, so it is life. My God, dear, if you ask Swāmījī, "How is life?" then I will say, "Well, I am surviving; according to spirituality, I am surviving." But God takes care all the time; He is there, He smiles. It is not that you can bring this pot as it is, but He will do for you. Just once offer your life to Him and then see. We said, "I love you, my God, everything is yours, you are this," and suddenly, so He comes out of the picture and says, "Come." No, no, I did not say this; I did not mean this, my Lord, you know. That is too much. So talking to the picture of the Lord is very easy. But to be like that, I told yesterday, I think, and today I can tell you again: the disciple and master never die. Great masters, Paramahaṁsa Yogānanda, you read his autobiography. He made one song: "My Lord, I will be Thine." "My Gurudev, I will be Thine; devotees may come and devotees may go, but I will be, still I will be Thine, my Lord." So people may talk negative things, that nothing can shake my faith. I am Thine; I may go far, farther than the stars. Where there is love, there is no distance, and where there is attachment, there is fear and jealousy, anger, hate, and fear from the distance. I may go far, farther than the stars, but still, my Lord, I will be Thine. If I die, look into my eyes; even if I died, look into my eyes, my Lord. They will mutely say, "I will be Thine"; that will awake everything. That will open the door to the universe, to God, not only to heaven, what you call, because heaven, I have not seen anyone still. Heaven and hell, both are here. So just once make a step towards Him, and then you will see what it is. Therefore, Devī Devatā Kariṣabhavandan: all the divine gods and goddesses, they will adore you. They will put the flowers, will rain on you when you depart into the cosmic self, that someone came, they are proud of you. That is what I try to do for you. But you know there is a goat, you know what is a goat, eh? So and there is a water fountain, and the goat is very thirsty, and someone wants to bring her to drink water, and now he is pulling, but see, her ego is so strong. You do not want to come near the water. And what is pulling and pulling, she stays here; those, she is very thirsty. So the Master tried to pull you towards, and then your doubts come in: "Oh my God, you are standing like this," then go thirsty again. As thirsty you came. Hṛdaya kamala kī āṅkheṁ khul jāveṁ. The eyes of your lotus of your heart will open. Your heart will open. If you will put the ointment of this name of God, your mantra, the ointment, then the hṛdaya kamala will open. The unfoldment of each petal of the heart brings with it immense feelings and joy and happiness and light and freedom. That is it, but everyday practicing, disciplined practicing. So this is, I explained to you only one mantra, which I used to give. There is another mantra, very beautiful also; there is another one, very beautiful, that also next time I will tell. Now, our artists, they will sing this bhajan, and you can also sing with Vendra. She is singing. Śrī Dīp Dayālā Akhaṇḍa Ujjvala. Therefore, Holy Gurujī, your Grand Master, my master; so when you introduce me, do not say Swāmījī is Gurujī, okay? Introduce our Grandmaster; because I heard last two, three times that Swāmījī is Master and he is Grandmaster. Also, if you are a disciple and introducing, then you can say our Grandmaster, the Master of Swāmījī; that is it. So Holy Gurujī said, "Mahāprabhujī is the everlasting light"; akhaṇḍa means everlasting. "Bali, Bali, Jāūn, Chandan, Nandan": again and again I surrender my life to that child of Holy Mother, Chandan Devī. You see here picture on the altar, Mahāprabhujī's mother. One day on the Śivarātri night, Mahāprabhujī's mother, she sat in meditation and she entered into deep samādhi, having this wish that, "Today I am fasting, I will not eat till Lord Śiva will not come." Then she had a vision that Lord Śiva himself came to her and blessed her and said, "Divine Mother, I will come personally again in the person to see that divine child which you will give birth to as Viṣṇu himself." She opened eyes, there was no Śiva, nothing, but after nine months she gave birth to our beloved Mahāprabhujī. When Mahāprabhujī was born early morning at dawn time, next day of the Dīvālī, where Indians are putting the oil lamps, and when the oil is gone the lamps go off, but suddenly what happened in that village, again the lamps which went off, they again, from itself, they began to burn, and the flowers were falling from the sky where in the desert there were no flowers that time, and that was Mahāprabhujī's incarnation. So Holy Gurujī said here, "Śrī Dīp Dayālā Akhaṇḍa Ujjvala": that Mahāprabhujī is the everlasting light. "Bali Bali Jāung Chandan Nandan": my life is surrendered to Him again and again, oh the son of Śrī Chandan Devī, Chandan Māṭājī. She is here, a very great soul, very great Holy Mother. "Śrī Mādhavānanda ke ānandabhaya bhārī": Holy Gurujī said, "I have such a great happiness, great joy, a great bliss." Why? "Sumara sumara paddhapaya paramānandan": by repeating and repeating and repeating and repeating of this mantra, I achieved the highest level of consciousness, parama ānanda. Parama means the supreme, ānanda means the bliss. So it is just a translation of one bhajan of Holy Gurujī; other one I will translate evening. So bless you all, adiós.
