Seminar in Vep. Evening satsang

A new trend in Bhakti Yoga is to dedicate one evening to singing for a specific deity. This practice is called sandhyā, the joining time at dusk. Sleeping during the sacred morning Brahmamuhūrta causes the loss of good karma and attracts negative karma. All creatures remember the divine at dawn and dusk. Problems serve as the best school for learning and success. This Bhakti Sandhyā is dedicated to the Siddha Pīṭha. Begin by remembering Gaṇeśa for success in any endeavor. The world is in divine hands; one must live untouched by negativity like a lotus in water. Satsaṅg and good company are the path to liberation.

"Night has gone, dawn has come, wake my children, wake, sitting in the āsana of meditation, gazing at my guru’s lotus feet."

"Who knows what is love, no matter which kind of love—physical or spiritual or mental—knows also what is God."

The Dharma of Bhagavān, Deveśvarā, and Mahādeva. Samrāṭ Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavānakī. Today is Thursday, a very good day. Welcome, all of you, all dear brothers and sisters around the world. Welcome also to those with us through the webcast. We are here in the beautiful country of Hungary. Please, can you open some windows in this hall? We have a very multi-star hall with natural air conditioning; everyone feels very comfortable and very happy. It is a perfect place for a yoga seminar, no matter the path: Haṭha yoga, Kriyā yoga, Bhakti yoga, Jñāna yoga, Rāja yoga, Mantra yoga, Nāda yoga, Karma yoga—all kinds of yogas. This place is very, very ideal. There is a new trend, a new fashion in Bhakti Yoga. I was thinking today I shall introduce you to this new trend. That is what they are doing mostly in India and among Indians. They call it "one evening with Śiva" or "one night with Śiva." Some say "one evening with Kṛṣṇa," or some say "one evening with Hanumānjī." It means to dedicate today to Lord Śiva. In the temple, in front of the temple, they sing bhajans dedicated to Lord Śiva. That is called "one night with Śiva." Once they invited me also, and they said, "One evening for Kṛṣṇa." So I told them, "What about the other 364 evenings? Is he lonely?" But that is how we are, selfish people. Some call it bhajan sandhyā; bhajan means the singing, sandhyā means the evening. Now this is sandhyā. Exactly this constellation, the time where the sun is setting, night begins, and day is ending. That is called sandhyā, which means joining. In the morning, Brahmamuhūrta, you can also say Sandhyā, where night is gone and dawn has come. There is one song: "Night has gone, dawn has come, wake my children, wake, sitting in the āsana of meditation, gazing at my guru’s lotus feet." Night has gone, and dawn has come. Wake, my children, wake. Sitting in the āsana of meditation and gazing at my guru’s lotus feet. Dhyāna mūlaṁ guru mūrti, pūjā mūlaṁ guru pādaṁ, mantra mūlaṁ guru vākyaṁ, mokṣa... In Brahmamuhūrta, if you are sleeping, you lose your good karma. And bad karma, all laziness from the whole world and all bad karma flows to that person who is sleeping more in Brahmamuhūrta. It is said that those who have bad karma from past lives, that person enjoys the morning sleep. Or the one who has a dark future and misses golden chances loves the morning hours of sleep very much. There are many people, even from childhood, whose children wake up early automatically. And there are little children there. If parents are still sleeping, the children wake up and they are playing just till parents get up. So Sandhyā means joining, uniting. Even animals and birds sing, remembering the name of God morning and evening. These creatures, they are helpless. They cannot do anything against human cruelty. But do not think that they do not believe in God, or that they do not know what God is or what life is. Who knows what is love, no matter which kind of love—physical or spiritual or mental—knows also what is God. And so even the trees know what love is. Where the love is, there is the light of God. So on this special time, if a human does not remember God and pray, it is a little different between other creatures and humans. So today we dedicate time for Ālak Purījā Siddha Pīṭha. Good? Today is the day, the night we dedicate to Ālag Purījī, or to Devpurījī, or Mahāprabhujī, or Gurujī, or all of us. So when we do for all of us, it means automatically we do for Ālag Purījī, see the Pīṭha. So, Mahāprabhujī is happy, and Devapurījī is happy, and Gurujī is happy, and Swāmijī is enjoying. When they are happy and you are happy, I am enjoying, because I am a million times happier if you are happy and healthy. Problem is the best school to learn. Without problems, life is boring. People who had many problems, even in childhood, are more successful in life, in profession, in business, in study. And who did not have any problems and always was taken care of, the person becomes lazy and does not know what to do. Problems are there to fight, problems are there to solve, problems are there to wake up, and problems are there to realize that yes, such things can happen and there are. So this evening is dedicated to our Ālag Purījī Siddha Pīṭha for one hour. And I would say that here people make themselves a little free. And the singer comes here, who is singing, who will sing the bhajans. So, please, if we can make from this point to Pārvatī and to this backside, if you all can move for me, it does not matter, there or behind me. But here we need, in front of Mahāprabhujī, the singers, the instruments. So please come. And today our artist is there, and many, many others. All good singers, come, stand up. Girls, stand up. Parvati, go there, behind. Yes, the singers facing the camera side. Looking this side, okay? Come closer to Mahāprabhujī’s altar. This little part, give me this table for sitting. Thank you. No, no, just here. That is good. Here, this move. Chair, move it. Asana, give me. Table here. Very good. Super. So, this evening is dedicated to Bhakti Yoga in devotion to our Ālag Purījī Siddha Pīṭha, Bhakti Sandhyā. If you do not understand the words, do not worry. Just enjoy the melody, the singing. So, anyone of you who would like to sing, you are welcome to come to the front. But of course, you have to follow the rhythm. We will begin with Śrī Gaṇeśa Jī Mahārāj, Gajānanda Jī. Padāro Mere Gaṇpat Dev Gurashā. And Śrīmā Gāṇamī Gurudeva. Śrī Devpurījī, Kī Jai. Śrī Dev Puruṣa Mahādeva, Kī Jai. Śrī Mādhav Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān, Kī Jai. Śrī Paramkhan Svāmī Maheśvarānand Jī Gurudeva, Kī Jai. Sumāro Gaṇe Nāmi Gurudeva... Savastu, Shesha, Ganesha, Gana, Adhika. Savastu, Shesha, Ganesha, Gana, Adhika. Karucharanaki Seva Summaro Ghananami. Gurudeva Ghanadisha, Ganesha Ghanapati, Ghanadisha Hrithisiddhi Sukhadeva. Sumaro Ghananami Gurudeva, Harmbha suphal kareva shasana karta, vishwa bharata ghat ghat vaas kareva. Sabas sheṣa gaṇeśa gaṇa adhika karu caraṇakhi sevā sumaro gaṇanāmi. Gurudeva jo jananam apko sumare gyānabhāna pragateva. Jā dekhoṁ vā satt guru-śvāmī, jā dekhoṁ vā satt guru-śvāmī. Veda sapevā sumaro gāne nāmi, Gurudevā sumaro gāne nāmi, Gurudevā. Sabse śeṣa gaṇeśa gaṇādika, sabse śeṣa gaṇeśa karacāra. Seva tumāro gane nāmi ude, tumāro gane nā. Śrī Deva Purīsa nire guṇe nara, sarbetara pyāpeva Śrī Deva Purīsa nire guṇe nara. Sarbetar Pyāpeva Śrī Svāmī Dīpa Sattva Sambhammā, Śrī Svāmī Dīpa Sattva Gaṇeśa, Gaṇeśa,... Gaṇeśa. Build a house, new job, anything, you should first remember Gaṇeśa. Similarly, also in the satsaṅg, when you have to sing, then you should remember Gajananjī, the Gaṇeśa, then you will be successful. So Mahāprabhujī made this bhajan, and that Gaurāṁī Gaṇeśa is also manifesting in our Gurudev. So this was the bhajan dedicated to Śrī Gaṇeśa jī. Hṛthi Siddhi Śukadeva, because he gives you hṛthi, harmony, siddhi, perfection, wealth. Śukha, happiness. Deva means giver. So Hṛṣṭi Siddhi Śukadeva, Śumru, Gārṇāmi, Gurudeva. Deva. Sabse says Gaṇeśa. So first adore, meditate on Śrī Gaṇeśa. So next one, please. After the adoration, ceremony, and salutation to Gaṇeśa Jī, then we can do what we want. I mean good things, yeah, not bad. Okay, so Śrī Gaṇeśa has begun. So anyone who is singing bhajan for the first time should remember and sing Gaṇeśa’s bhajan. Or you can say, "At least Śrī Gajananjī Mahārāj kī Jai." Next. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān kī Jai. Aur baar tumhare hātho mein, ab śaṅk diyā iss jīvan kā. Sab bār tumhare hātho mein sab. Ek ek bāu mein jāo, mein rās chāyās. Ek ek bāu mein jāo, mein har pān kar. Do diyā bhār kā sab pyār tumhare hātho mein. Sab pīyar tumhāre hāthoṁ meṁ, ab śauk diyā iss jīvan kā. Sab bāre tumhāre hathoṁ meṁ, sab jo jag meṁ rahe kamal kā, rahe sab un doṣ samar. God is in your hands, God is in your hands,... God is in your hands. If the birth of a human being is not of a human being, if the birth of a human being is not of a human being, if the birth of a human being is not of a human being, if the birth of a human being is not of a human being, if the birth of a human being is not of a human being, If the birth of a human being is not of a human being, if the birth of a human being is not of a human being, if the birth of a human being is not of a human being, if the birth of a human being is not of a human being, if the birth of a human being is not of a human being, If the birth of a human being is not of a human being, if the birth of a human being is not of a human being, if the birth of a human being is not of a human being, if the birth of a human being is not of a human being, if the birth of a human being is not of a human being, If the birth of a human being is not of a human being. Your hands are to you. My success or my loss, both are in your hands. It depends on you, Lord. If once I get you, my Lord, your darśan, God, once I see you, I will surrender the love of the whole world into your hands. Whenever I get a birth as a human, there is only one thing: that I become a servant of your holy lotus feet. The world is in your hands, Lord. I am in the hands of the world, but the world is in your hands, Lord. If I have to live in this world, then help me that I live like a lotus flower above the water, above the dirty water. So this saṃsāra, in that way, is polluted by many negative qualities. It is very important for us to remain untouched by this, above by that. Satsaṅg, good company, good thoughts, good talking, good book reading, that is for us the solution, the way to mokṣa. Next, three bhajans, everyone, so now you get one more. Either three or five, always. Five? Okay, then three more. Nārāyaṇa. Nārāyaṇī. God bless you. Shri Gurudeva, Jīvam Koṭṭam, Shri Swāmīdī Paribhināti, Līravogetam Kyā Hogā.

Okay, the Bhakti Sandhyā three bhajans cast is today a little bit prolonged, okay. So, our friends, brothers, and sisters around the world can also enjoy the Bhakti Sandhyā dedicated to Śrī Ālak Purījī Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā.
