Awakening spiritual potential requires motivation, knowledge, and inspiration. You possess great spiritual energy. Progress depends on mastering your own thoughts, for happiness and unhappiness originate from within. Your body is the temple of your dharma, and the soul is here to fulfill this human life. Succeeding in this life is paramount. Utilize this time for healthy habits, yoga, meditation, and satsaṅg. This program will provide knowledge, answer questions, and teach special exercises.

"You are the master of your thoughts, your happiness, and your unhappiness."

Many blessings to all of you from our Ālagpurījī Siddhapīṭha. It is very nice to see you again on this Ādyaṅk coast. It is said that when there is a good sign, a good indication, the god Indra is very happy. God Indra is the king of heaven and the king of rain. When he is happy and blessed, good rain comes. This ten-day program here will be very unique. I think we will have a lot of time to gain spiritual knowledge and develop our spirituality. You all possess great spiritual energy and potential. The question is how to maintain your progress on the spiritual path and how to proceed forward. We need motivation, knowledge, and inspiration to awaken the dormant talents within our consciousness. It is in your hands; it is your choice. You must know that we have to change our thoughts. You are the master of your thoughts, your happiness, and your unhappiness. There is no external "happiness" or "unhappiness"; it is just our thoughts. From these thoughts, we either feel miserable or very happy. To be the master of our thoughts means not to identify yourself with external, worldly problems. You know you are here in this world. You must follow and succeed in your dharma. Your body is the temple of your dharma, and the soul is within that dharma to fulfill this human life. Therefore, nothing is more important than succeeding in this human life. It will be a beautiful time here on the Adriatic coast. The water is warm. We will also learn to swim in cold water to make it warm. Mother Nature is blessing us now, giving us so much: fruits, vegetables, and nourishment. This is the best time to gain good health and to give up bad habits like eating unhealthy junk food. Eat healthy—more vegetables, more fruits. Make nice movements here on the coast and beach, and practice yoga, meditation, and satsaṅg. This will make your life happy and successful. Every day, we will discuss a subject. Many of your questions will be answered, and many special exercises and kriyās will be taught here. I hope you will be part of this program. Of course, the webcast will be available at all times, mostly for the practices. Certain kriyās will be taught exclusively here. Now, Indra is in high spirits. He is playing drums; these are the Gandharvas, the heavenly singers and musicians. And the Apsarās, the heavenly dancers. So we shall have heavenly songs, bhajans, and enjoy this music. We will talk more tomorrow. For now, listen and enjoy the bhajans. You should all sing. Chetan Manmohan Chansi Paragurubī.
