Each of us has experienced and concluded that life is like a dream—a dream that begins with birth and ends with death. In these moments, we consciously or subconsciously ask ourselves: what is the meaning of this dream? The answer is known to those who have awakened from the dream of the passing into the reality of the non-passing. Filled with the immense blessing of this divine knowledge, such people are the crown jewels of humanity. Everything that exists is achieved if we know the path. The path of awakening, the science of awakening, is yoga, and the yogī, the one who is awakened, is the witness and the leader on that path. We had the honor and privilege to follow one such Mahāyogī, Viśvaguru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Paramahaṃśrī Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī, on his path through India, a land that never stopped dreaming about awakening. The first steps lead us to a place where Param Yogeśwar Śrī Devpurījī lived as the incarnation of Śiva, the Light of Awakening. This ashram in the village of Keilāś preserves the physical traces of the Enlightened One, which maintain the complete presence of his immortal presence. Even from dawn, both birds and people sing the ode of the Awakening Light. Ghor nidrā mein so rahe ho. Kaṅsī? Ajñāntā. Avidyā. Avidyā mein sabhī prāṇī taḍap rahe haiṁ. Vidyā keval mānuṣīye ke śarīr aur buddhi se hī prāpt hotī hai. The desire to meet the awakened one led Swamījī, and us, to Sūryanagar. Śrī Mādhav Kṛṣṇa, Bhagavān, Viśvaguru, Śrī Svāmījī, Viśvarānanda Purījī, Mahārāj, Kī Jai, Mahāprabhujī. This city is known for the numerous saints who lived here. That is why there was so much joy in meeting Swāmījī. Within this endless space resides the Cosmic Consciousness, not a dormant one. Vo śuṣupt avasthāme nahīṁ hai, vo ek sthir avasthāme, śāntāvasthāme, śāntakaramā, bujjagneśa yānā. The individual consciousness merges into the cosmic consciousness only through the human body and human efforts, through human qualities and through human consciousness. Thus, Guru Tattva, the light of consciousness in the form of Swāmījī, moved on with the love and tenderness that this land is so full of. This undisclosed joy and excitement around Swāmījī is a permanent image wherever he comes. Carried by this love, he does not know fatigue and goes wherever he is called. The central idea of the Indian spirit is mokṣa, liberation from suffering and passing. This liberation comes only by liberating oneself from ignorance, by absorbing knowledge about one’s own consciousness. That is why the Jñānī Guru, liberated here, is expected with the greatest respect. His presence and His words are experienced as the greatest blessing, as God’s mercy. If one is close to one, then in two, three, four times, we will tell Bābā Jī that if one is close to one, then his life will be blessed. Without devotion, like an animal, if there is no devotion in anyone, then he is like an animal. That is why, where there is devotion, God goes. From place to place, Gurudev is greeted with music, dance, and attentive expectation of His words. But you know, diamonds are always found in the dust. Vāstāya Bābājī Kiyo Kī Vando Bhārat Varṣa Bhūmi, Jā Satguru Darśan Hoi, Ātam Gyān Yahī Mile, Aur Deśh Nai Koī. We can challenge the world by saying that till today there has not been a single darśana śāstra in the world that tells us that our soul lives in the body. Only the saints of our India. Why? The saints. These words of Swāmījī were the right announcement for the place where we later arrived. Here, in the endless width of the Thar Desert, is the village of Barikata. Here we breathe life, body, and soul. Not far from the Ashram is another authentic spiritual space. He often stayed in this room, Śrī Devpurījī. She preserves the prāṇa, breath, and spirit of Mahāyogayā. From the hill above the barricade, the gaze of the seeker discovers another gem of memories of the great soul. The path that Śrī Mahāprabhujī walked on until forty years ago, we have traveled to a small āśram in which Viśvadīp, the light of the universe, lived for decades. Here, every ego and every being grows before the magnificence and simplicity of the divinity of God. Swamiji is once again at the source of immeasurable grace and mercy, with which he draws the strength and depth of his knowledge and the purity of his service. Welcome to the holy place of Mahāprabhujī, Mahāprabhujī’s birthplace. Here we can feel the practical field on which Mahāprabhujī spread his līlā and did all his works. Sajjano, Bhagavān kā jahāṁ avatār hotā hai, jis deś meṁ, jis bhūmi meṁ, voh purī sansār ke liye hotā hai. Sūrya uday hotā hai, to purī sansār ke liye prakāś sabhī ko detā hai. In the dream of life, a person needs a cradle and an abode that directs him towards his spiritual burdens. In India, that cradle is the iṣṭa devatā, the personal God. The Iṣṭa Devatā can be one of the divine incarnations, a liberated yogī, or his own guru-deva. The relationship of a consecrated seeker and the Iṣṭa Devatā is deeply personal and pristine. The Iṣṭa Devatā is the cradle, the path, and the ultimate goal. Here we have marked the anniversary of Mahāprabhujī’s departure to Mahāsamādhi with a great satsaṅg. Here, 41 years ago, after 135 years of life, Śrī Mahāprabhujī definitely left his body, entering irrevocably into the divine consciousness. This life is tapasyā, sabdhina hotana ek shaman. Every day is not equal, but if our mind is steady and inside we have the love for God, then we are ready to go through any kind of difficulties. Therefore, every day is a golden day. Dharma karne wāle kā, yeh sahasrār se ātmā jo hai, śarīra chhoṛtī jo ātmā sahasrār cakra se nikal tī. Bol Satguru Devakī Jai! Dharma, sukha, and ānanda kī dhām mein āptā hotā hai, phir kabhī bhī vah duḥkha mein nahīṁ jātā hai. The video has brought us back to life, the unforgettable divine diamond, Śrī Mādhavānandajī, our Holī Gurujī, without whom this dream is no longer the same. In memory of Śrī Mahāprabhujī and Holī Gurujī, two of our Paramgurus, a bhandārā is organized, a traditional meal for numerous sādhus and bhaktas. After Bandara, the unforgettable evening began, in which the bhajans, spiritual songs, like flowers in a wreath, flowed to the dawn. The next day, in Chhota Kathu, Swamiji was an honored guest of the Jain conference on Ahiṃsā, non-violence. The meeting with the leader of Jain, Śrī Mahāprajaj, was an experience full of mutual understanding of the ever-growing significance of non-violence. Fear is the biggest problem in our world. We want to create an unwavering environment through silence. The highest principle in this universe is non-violence. Swamijī’s consciousness about the depth of the universe and the significance of peace in the world leads us to Jaipur, the capital city of Rajasthan. Passing by the world-famous beauties of the pink city, we head to the university, where Swāmījī organized an international conference on Indian culture and world peace. Here, we heard the life-saving pearls of Vedic culture, which would be of use to this more egocentric civilization. For the West, nature is something to be subdued, to be controlled, to be exploited. For the benefit of man, for the development of man, but no, that is not our concept. We worship nature, as nature is our mother. How can a child control the mother? If, for the peace of the world, it is necessary that we give the concept of what our duties are. What are duties? Every human being will think about his duties, and when he will talk about duties, then the rights of others will be taken care of. Tulsīdās says that there is no happiness equal to peace anywhere. And when we say, "Om Diyo Shanti Ranthariksh Shanti," we calm the animals, we calm the earth, we calm the universe, and at the end we say, "Om Shanti Shanti..." We are talking today about world peace. Peace begins first from one’s own heart, from one’s own home and own society, one’s own country, and then we should talk about the world. That is my opinion, dear brothers and sisters. I do believe that thanks to the renaissance of the original Indian culture, mankind will have a better chance to overcome its ethical and moral problems. In Jaipur, the final celebration of the sports games of the indigenous peoples of India was held. India, as a subcontinent, is proud of numerous very old cultures. Their preservation is the preservation of the work of the good collective consciousness of humanity. In the end, Swāmījī shared the deserved medals with the winners. In fact, the true winner is unity in differences, and this behavior belongs to him the most. And we are back on the road. Without a day of rest, Swāmījī goes where the thirsty souls call him. Who can resist so much joy, respect, and love? Gurudev has arrived, and the whole village is on its feet. When the awakened one arrives, no one falls asleep. With every gesture, these people say, "Lord, welcome to our home, welcome to our hearts." How did Swāmījī express the languages of all these countries through Hindu culture? For example, you just heard in the bhajan that he has accepted his Indian culture in so many cities. Shant is the pre-language. Shant is the end of all desires. Śānti, śāntoṣa, śraddhācāra, samadarśitā, sadāpana, these are the words of a sādhu. A few kilometers away, a new village, new people, but the same desire for Guruvākya. Not far from Nepal, there is this ashram in the village of Bola Guda. Śrī Mahāprabhujī spent many years here. His stay has permanently illuminated this place with the harmony of the soul. It is up to us to preserve and realize in ourselves that spirit of purity, simplicity, and peace that Bhagavān left us. The next call to Swāmījī took us directly to the heart of the Hindu tradition. In the village of Genrī, the temple of the Holy Mother is celebrated. This village has existed for 700 years, and the statue of the goddess around which this temple was built has existed in this place for about 900 years. The Mother of God is always a symbol of mercy, and mercy is more than enough reason for undisturbed joy. In this land, the love between God and man has always been direct and unspoken. Maheśvara Nanda Purījī, Siddha Karatā Mahāprabhujī, Karatā. This is the attitude towards the divine speakers. The human body is made in such a way that, by devotion to the Lord, it comes out of the chakra of the Caurāsī. In this house in the village, there is a room where the most beloved guest, Śrī Mahāprabhujī, stayed. The presence of the Holy Saints’ visit in any place of the world is always radiating that divine light. In this dream of awakening, pearl by pearl descends. This pearl is a Jain temple in Ranapur, rarely a unity of devotion and art. This temple is a witness to the cultural heritage of India and its unique architecture. The most fascinating aspect of this temple is its 1,444 steps. Here, the artistic genius depicted exceptional artistic elegance and wrote a song in stone with deep devotion. This is in Daipur, known as the city of peace and happiness. Only awakened saints know and give true peace and true happiness. This is a welcome to one Paramahaṁsa, the highest Labud, the symbol of a liberated soul. That is why all generations here, as individuals and as a culture, express their joy of meeting Swāmījī. The warm welcome from the depths of the heart was not only for Swāmījī, but also for the always dear guest, Monsignor David Kapoa from Australia. Amara Tana Dhana Payo, Payo Jī Mene Ramara Tana Dhana Payo. Vedaha Pramāṇa Patvaha Aneke Rāste Hain, Lekin Guru Ved. Ved Kā Matlab Gyān, Gyān Kī Or Jo Le Jāve, Vahe Bhārat Vāj Hai. I come to India to be with Swamiji because I recognize him and value him as a world leader, a world spiritual leader, a holy man who is bringing light into our world among many nations. Swamiji, we are your disciples and friends. We ask your continued blessing upon us and upon all the world. Thank you. Tolerance between religions, cultures, and nations can only be if we have dayā in our heart, meaning feelings, love, mercy. The morning was devoted to the practice of yoga, without which we cannot prepare for waking up. How will we master our mind if we cannot master our body and breath? Mastering movement and mastering peace is a cosmic achievement. So this body is not only, and breath is not only the oxygen, but with this fine breath we nourish ourselves. So the cosmic mother, the cosmic light, the cosmic energy, she is nourishing her child in the form of the breath. Swamijī’s nature and dharma lead him from the most forgotten villages to the biggest cities. This is Mumbai, former Bombay, one of the biggest cities in the world. Swamiji is a guest here at the conference of Indians living outside India. Successful Hindus have come from all over the world to see how they can help their homes. A special conference was held on Rajasthan. Most of the ideas proposed by Mrs. Vasundhara Rājā, the Prime Minister of Rajasthan, Swāmījī already successfully carries out in his Omāśram. These are projects of education, preservation of culture, gathering of drinking water, protection of the environment, and protection of the health of people and animals. Not even in one country can the government do everything on its own for general prosperity; supply and personal effort of individuals are required. The arrival of a saint in someone’s home is considered a great blessing here. Swamiji’s stay at the home of the Guruji’s disciples who live in Mumbai was started by Guru Pūjā. Guru Pūjā is the worship and prayer of the living God. Only such a relationship of the seeker enables the Guru to essentially bless the life of the disciple. That is why India was and remains the land in which God really lives. After knowing about the presence of Swāmījī, numerous friends and neighbors of the host have visited for darśan. The neighborhood with Mahatma, the great soul, is the greatest possible inspiration for the spiritual seeker. Through Darśan, we recognize what we really seek, and what we seek, we achieve by working on ourselves and the Guru Mantra, whose essence is the Divine Name. The audience was delirious when the dragons flew. The sky was filled with decorations and creations of all colors and shapes. Here, only the imagination and the length of the rope were the boundaries. And here in Ahmedabad, Swamiji is the dearest guest. His dharma is that what he has, he will pass it on to the world, and to those who accept him, he will give as much as they can receive. This time, the hosts led Swamiji to prison, not as a criminal, but as the one who frees him. In this prison, Mahatma Gandhi was once imprisoned, a great fighter for the uncivilized liberation of India. India and the whole world owe Mahātmas gratitude for preserving the dignity of man. This is how Swamijī preserved the dignity and hope of the prisoners here. A Mahātma who came to take alms always said, "Whatever he does, he will pay for it." Now you have the time to think, "Kī Maine Kyā Galtī Kī?" Aur aisī galtī kabhī na kare. Bhagavān kā bhajan, smaraṇ karne kā samay milā hai. Ātmā ko koī qaid naī̃ kar saktā hai. Ātmā ajar amar hai, usko koī qaid naī̃ kar saktā hai. Jise na śastra kāṭe. Na Agni Jalawe, Na Bujawe, Na Pānī, Na Mṛtyu Mithāwe. Ātmā To Sadā Amar Hai, Ātmā To Sadā Svatantra Hai. O Śarīr Jo Hai, this body and this intellect have become bristled. Due to the bristled intellect, this body has received some punishment. These days will pass, and a good day will come. Therefore, according to our own dharma." That evening, a few more houses of welcome for Swāmījī and blessings for the guests, before Guru Dev leaves the streets of the city for the evening satsaṅg. These paths are crossed only by love, the same love that this bhajan sang. Every day is not the same. But, friends, the most terrible, the worst, the saddest event will happen when the body will be left alone without self-exercise. On the next day, Swāmījī will be among the honorable guests of the global stock of investors. India is among the leading, if not the leading, country in the speed of economic development. For the whole of humanity, it is good news that this great land, so rich in spirit, is becoming rich in body. The essence of Swāmījī’s presence here is the meeting with the recent Prime Minister of India, Mr. Advani, who was presented with a brochure of the project for this āśram. The next meeting was with the Prime Minister of Gujarat, Mr. Narendra Modi. At that time, the Prime Minister, Swamiji, and yogīs in everyday life offered this land for the construction of a yoga center. From here, you can also see the temple of Ambā, the place where, according to tradition, the Divine Mother left her heart. Not far from here is this temple of the Divine Mother, which shines with the purity of the Mother’s heart. Leaving Gujarat, we again entered Rajasthan, where Swamijī was greeted with a real fireball of emotion. This welcome was heard all the way to the sky. Today, Pūjya Gurudev is not with us in the form of Sākār, but in the form of Nirguṇa. His divine light, His divine vision, His divine grace, and His protection are on all of us. Ād Siddha Rakho, Pavitra Bhāvanā Se He Parampitā Paramātmā, Main Ananya Bhav Se, Āpke Śrī Caraṇa Me Samarpit Ho He Prabhu, Hame Śakti Dījī, Bhakti Dījī, Jñān Dījī, Sukh Śānti Dījī. In our village, in our home, in our Society, may peace and happiness be with us. O Lord, I pray for peace in the world. After several weeks of endless travel and the service of Swāmījī all over India, it was time to withdraw into the oasis of yoga. We have arrived in Jādan. Here, in the heart of Rajasthan, Swāmījī is building an ambush for the seekers, Om Āśram. This is the place of awakening through Sādhanā, through Rājayoga. With sādhanā comes the necessary strength, elasticity, concentration, and peace at all levels of being. This is the place of awakening through Bhakti, the devotion to the Supreme and His incarnations. Bhakti Yogam otvara moje srce za ono čemu težimo i za onoga kroz koga težimo. Āśram je i središte jñāne, oličen je kroz reč mudrosti. There is no other way. That’s it. Origin, open wide, origin, but that it can only do the bhaktas. And when this lightning comes, when this vibration comes, suddenly light, vibration, joy, and happiness come. Love is light, light is love, love is God, God is light, light is consciousness. That time, suddenly you feel that, yes, it appears. Then that day is the most joyous, happiest day of your life. Under the brilliant Rajasthani sun, the school children shared the joy of their art with us. Bharat Mātā kī! Just like the dream of life, the dream of staying in India also passed. But the dream that awakens, because it is crowned with satsaṅg, the unity of the awakened and the seeker. Humans are struggling, and we are struggling to come out of all these complications, to the oneness, to the divine. Kya Kya Karaye, Kuch Ban Na Paye, Aapne Banane Jaane... He Siddhaya, ho jeevan raarta jaane na paaye, he jaane kya kya karaaye, kuchewa na paaya aapne bana.
