Your Gurudev is Divine Mother

A spiritual discourse on the two kinds of mothers and divine identity.

"One kind of mother all human beings have when they get birth from a lady... The other, specially mentioned in the Vedas and Upanishads, is the kind of mother, she being called as Mūlādhārā, mother."

"You are the purity itself... You are beyond māyā, beyond this visible world."

His Holiness Mahāmaṇḍaleśwar Śrī Nirañjanānandajī Mahārāj addresses an assembly, clarifying his name's meaning before expounding on two types of motherhood. He contrasts the earthly mother, who gives familial and worldly introductions, with the Divine Mother or Guru, who reveals the soul's true nature as pure, wise, and beyond illusion. He references his friend, a spiritual teacher, as embodying this second mother and concludes with a chant of "Namaḥ Śivāya" and blessings for the peace summit.

We have today still to receive the blessing of His Holiness Mahāmaṇḍaleśwar Śrī Nirañjanānandajī Mahārāj. His name is Nirañjanānandajī, not Niranjana Ānanda Gīrījī. You are always pronouncing it wrong. It is the same, but Nirañjanānandajī in one word. Nirañjana means spotless, pure, clear, transparent. Ānanda is the supreme bliss. So, Nirañjanānandajī Mahārāj, not Niranjana Ananda Giriji. So, Swamiji, a few words of your blessings. After so much laughter and happiness, nothing is left behind. So, with the blessings, grace, and kindness from His Holiness Deep Nārāyaṇa Prabhujī Mahārāj, and His Holiness Gurudev Śrī Svāmī Māheśvarānandajī Mahārāj, and Madhavānandapurījī Mahārāj—respected my Self, Divine Self. In Sanskrit we call it Param Premā Aspat. Respected dignitaries, VIPs, my brethren, they have given you very good thoughts, guidance, and suggestions. We have been benefited by them. Thanks to them also for being here, and I am very happy to meet all of you. Brethren, organizers, all devotees present here, this is a very happy occasion now that all of us have the Divine Mother, Divine Mother Mahāmaṇḍar Ekṣara Svāmī Maheśvānanda Purīgīmāra. Why do I say so? Please, for a few minutes, be attentive. Why do I say so? Because in our Vedas and Upanishads, the holy sayings, divine—I can't miss these words without saying—mother is of two kinds. One kind of mother all human beings have when they get birth from a lady. I am sure you understand. Again, I repeat, one mother to all creation: birds, animals, and human beings, whosoever gives birth like a child. That is one kind of mother. And the other, specially mentioned in the Vedas and Upanishads, is the kind of mother, she being called as Mūlādhārā, mother. If amongst the listeners you are aware and have ever listened about such kind of Mother Mudalā, who made her child listen and learn just by saying the words, but I am not going to tell you just now what she said. I will tell you about her, what she said later on. But the first kind of mother, which all beings have, only gives birth to the child for her own wish and desire to have a son or a daughter. Why? She desires to be called mother on the earth. That's why she gives birth. So that someone may say, "Oh mother, oh mother, oh mom, oh dad, you better know." Such mothers only give birth and give introduction, which I especially want to make you understand. And they, such kind of mothers, give introduction to their children like, "This is your mother, this is your father, this is your uncle, this is your so-and-so, this is your so-and-so, and you are so-and-so." And I wish you to be a doctor, to be an engineer, to be an MP, to be a so-and-so. I don't want to tell you, businessman. I am sure you have understood such kinds of mothers. The only introduction she gives is the name, gives the body birth, and then gives introduction of the family members, relatives. Not about God, divinity, spirituality, peace. No introduction of such kind. Only to get matured, get married, have a family, and earn money more and more and more. Now I come to the second one, because time is short. But I wish at this moment to make you remember and learn about the second kind of mother. And that mother is not mom-like, mummy-like. Especially, especially for our guests, please, please, please be attentive. Oh, my boy, no. This mother, such mother, who spoke to the child not as a son, but "śuddho 'si, buddho 'si, nirañjano 'si, saṁsāra-māyā-parivarjito 'si, saṁsāra-svapnam taj moha-nidrā-mūḍalasa," vākyam vāta putram mūḍalasa, as the divine mother, and this mother is God: "mātṛ-devo bhava." Here lies that understanding. Mother is the divine guru. She speaks what? You being śuddho 'si means purity itself. First, the first most impression that the Divine Mother calls or gives to the child. You are the purity itself, purity of the pure, śuddho 'si. Then you are the knowledge, intelligence, wisdom itself. You are. You are not a fool. Like wisdom itself. Purity itself. Nirañjano 'si, as you were listening from my friend. Nirañjana is beyond māyā, beyond darkness, beyond ignorance, añjan, blackness. Typical words to understand: you are beyond ignorance, beyond darkness. You are beyond illusion. Saṃsāra māyā, so-called visible world, and the māyā which provokes, which attracts, which involves in bondage all the people. But you are beyond māyā, beyond this visible world. Listen, please. I am not going to tell you again, make you listen again. Such Mother Divine Mūdālsā-like is my friend, Maheśvara Nandapurī from India. He is for India, here for you people, Slovakia, and Vihana, and all over this continent. To make you awaken, to listen, to learn, you as me, being not an earthly person born and dying, and being in problems and sorrows and difficulties, and in illusion or ignorance or bondage whatsoever, no, at this very... The moment you are thou, thou are you. These are the words, the saying, which Divine Mother, Divine kind of mother, Mūḍasā kind of mother, and my friend kind of mother can impart. Thank you. And me being me, being the sister of the mother, two mothers. I am sure my friends and all of you have understood what I meant to say. This is what the mother Śruti, the mother Vedas, says. Then the Śruti comes to the divine heart, that divine knowledge. And then anyone who realizes that divine knowledge, she or he is the divine mother. You understand my point? So you are... Divine children. No, no,... no. What I wish to tell, but I, for a moment, I wish to chant a mantra with me. Namaḥ Śivāya, Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya, Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya, Namaḥ Śivāya, Śivāya, Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya, Namaḥ Śivāya, Śivāya, Namaḥ Śivāya, Namaḥ... Śivāya, Namaḥ... Śivāya, Namaḥ Śivāya. That's why you are the luckiest on earth, and this summit being such a successful, very successful, my friend and the holy Gurujī Madhavānandajī and the World Peace Council, they have the mission and desire of such kind of listeners as luckiest fellow beings, okay? Everyone is the luckiest fellow being on earth, not at all a sinner. To say sinner to anyone is a sin itself. We are the luckiest ones here. Thank you all. Good luck to you all. I again thank my friend. He brought me here because of Sonamukhi. Many, many thanks. And sure, whenever she will, I am sure to come. I will go on singing. I have a very good, but I can't say great, wisdom. One thing more: if any of the words uttered during this summit had been useful for world peace, for this arranging world peace summit, to the organizers and useful to you all, then I feel proud that I've been a bit useful for this purpose. Thank you all. Live long, and I wish that for his coming we may live long for this purpose. All of you, thank you very much.
