Divine Radiance Of Kumbh Mela

The most dangerous pollution is that of the human mind, from which all other pollutions arise. Physical and sound pollution are evident, but radiance pollution from electronic devices is particularly harmful, negatively affecting the nervous system and the body's energy centers. Contentment is the true wealth that removes mental desire. This sacred location symbolizes the confluence of the inner channels of emotion, intellect, and consciousness. The divine radiance present here can purify negative mental patterns. Practice with a purified mind under a guru's guidance is essential for directing consciousness toward liberation.

"Sound pollution is more dangerous than physical pollution."

"Those who have contentment, then all kinds of wealth are like dust."

Filming location: Allahabad, India

Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ... Jaya to Śrī Deep Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, to Deveśvara Mahādeva, and to the Satya Sanātana Dharma. Good evening and blessings to all of you. Every day I speak in Hindi, but today I would like to speak something in English. First of all, I welcome you here at the holy bank of the rivers Gaṅgā, Yamunā, and Sarasvatī. This holy place is called the king of all holy places: Prayāgrāj, Tīrtha Prayāgrāj. Many people think differently about the holy river, and day by day, people find the river is polluted. Definitely, we can see it is polluted, but this is a pollution from the human mind. There are different kinds of pollution: physical pollution, sound pollution. We all try to put our loudspeaker higher, like the other one is also doing. This is nothing but pollution. If we all would keep the sound only to what we can hear in our own tent, in our own camp, we would benefit more. But it is human desire and human ignorance, as well as the greed of humans—which comes out of their ego—that makes one want to tell everyone how good they are. We don’t think clearly that maybe someone doesn’t like to listen to what we are saying or singing. It means we do not respect each other. When I put my loudspeaker volume louder, others will do more. Then we have to put our volume higher so you can hear me, because there is a lot of other noise coming. Sound pollution is more dangerous than physical pollution. Sound pollution is of two kinds: one is positive and helpful, but there is a negative kind too. Therefore, sound pollution is also dangerous. After that comes radiance pollution, which is nowadays very high. That is from telephones, televisions, microwaves, radios, and computers. All the electronic instruments we are using have a very negative effect on our nervous system, glandular system, on our blood cells, and especially on our 72,000 nerves which connect to the different glands and cakras in the body. Those cakras have a responsibility to receive the cosmic energy and to transform that energy for the particular parts of the body—the centers, muscles, heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, pituitary, pineal glands, etc.—and the entire brain waves. So for people who are practicing yoga, meditating, or trying to practice what we call Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras, it is very hard to awaken that energy due to the very subtle, very subtle vibration of the electro-waves, the electro-radiance. I have one disciple; he made something called a bioprotector. You see in my hand a mobile telephone. Twenty years ago, it was not born, and now everyone has one, two, three telephones in their hands. If you have this mobile phone in your chest pocket, it influences your heart rhythms. It has a very negative effect on your heart. If you keep this telephone in your jeans, what they call today, in your back trousers pocket or in your kurta side pocket, then it has a very bad effect on the lower cakras, Mūlādhāra and Svādhiṣṭhāna. It means it has a very bad effect on the gender systems. Also, it can happen that one may not get a child, or the child will not be healthy. It may also be possible that the husband will not be able to give the child. This is scientifically proven. When you are using your mobile phone near the ear all the time, you feel burning, you feel pain. What do we do? We try to do something, try to come out of the frying pan, and you fall into the fire. Arre, tel kī kaḍhāī, jisme pakode aur pūrī banāte hai, frying pan. Jisko kahte hai, kaḍhāī se bāhar nikalne kī kośiś kī to bhaṭṭī mein gir gaye, hai kī nahīṁ? So what happened? They started using what they call a Bluetooth. Now, the Bluetooth has a more negative radiance than this telephone. And the cordless phone from the landline also has very negative radiance. In your car, in your house, in your pocket, in your office, in your kitchen. It means we humans are completely involved in entire negative radiances or waves, electro-waves. So there are some instruments; this is called a bioprotector for the mobile phone, for the chest pocket, for the computer. If you use this, you are 95% protected. That’s why it’s called a bioprotector. If you don’t use this one hundred percent, you are protected. He means if you don’t use this mobile telephone at all. Therefore, there are many people in villages who don’t use this, so desires... Mahātmā Gandhījī said, "Mother Earth has enough for everyone’s needs, but not for the..." So this is another pollution. Now, likewise, among many different pollutions, the most dangerous pollution, and the cause of all other pollutions, is the human mind. Everything is born out of the human mind. And therefore, it is said: be content, be satisfied. Santoṣī nar sadā sukhī. Jiske pās santosh hai, wo hamesha sukhi hai. Jab āye santosh dhan, śabd dhan dhul śaman. Those who have santoṣa, contentment, then all kinds of wealth are like dust. But still, very rare humans we will find who have no desires to have something. Who is he? Who has crores and billions of rupees, but at the same time, he spends day and night to increase his money? There is no beggar in this world who has crores and billions of rupees, but he does not get sleep, thinking, "Today, gold has become so expensive, silver has become so expensive, iron has become so expensive." So he is a beggar. Those who are not beggars are called, "Jiske andare santuṣṭa hai." So it is said, "Jo santuṣṭa hai uskī kaisī sthitī hotī hai?" He says, "Kuber bhī hājir jiske." Kubera is Bhagavān's treasurer. Kuber bhī hājir jiske, phir bhī bīkṣā se din gujarte hai. La parvāyī ho to aisī ho, mastānī ho to aisī ho, aur fakīrī ho to aisī ho. Usī ke pahās me woh davāī hai ki faṭade man viṣhyon se khaṭāī ho to aisī ho. Aur unke pās gyān, buddhi aur aisī sādhanā hai, wo amṛitī jo yahān bāt karte hai, wo kaunsā hai, ki Amar ho jisko khāne se mithāī ho, to aisī ho. So the mental pollution is the most dangerous pollution. Now, here, coming at the bank of the holy Gaṅgā and the Yamunā, definitely there is a Sarasvatī. And this is a Pratīk (symbol). Definitively, physically, they are here. But symbolically, we also count them for a yogī: Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā. Gaṅgā, Yamunā and Sarasvatī. These three nāḍīs control our emotion, intellect, and consciousness. The yogī every day bathes in the Triveṇī Saṅgam. Morning, when you get up and you meditate at the center of the eyebrows, so when you go in the morning and meditate here, you realize that ātmā jyoti. After that, you enter in your hṛdaya ākāśa. Hṛdaya ākāśa, the space in the heart: ghaṭākāśa, maṭākāśa, siddhākāśa, ākāśa, or mahākāśa. Similarly, the hṛde ākāśa is there. Also, inside the heart, a small cave’s door is seen. In the Kaṭha Upaniṣad, it is said, in the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad, inside it, there is a small blue light, nīla. And that nīla prakāśa jyoti is that Śiva jyoti, and that itself is the ātmā. With that very ātmā, the jīvātmā. So now here, sitting at the bank of the holy river, Gaṅgā, Yamunā, Sarasvatī, where they are from the yugas, from the Satyuga time. If we count the millions, trillions of humans who came here, gathered here, and the numbers of the ṛṣis and incarnations, all the 24 incarnations, and millions of the holy saints, swāmīs, sādhus, whatever you call them, and the millions of the bhaktas around the world, they came here and meditated. Therefore, this place, no doubt, it is a holy place. And now, this special constellation, which we call the Mahākumāra Melā. Melā means coming together. Melā means meeting, joining, uniting, coming together. So lucky are you, fortunate ones are you, blessed you are, that you have this opportunity. And by Guru Dev Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa and Mahāprabhujī Devpurījī and Swami Madhavānandajī’s divine grace, you could come here. Now these few days, wherever you are, you should spend with divine thinking. Divine thinking doesn’t matter if you are meditating. Whether you are sleeping or you are working, whether you are walking, cooking, or eating, you are within this aura. You are within this radiance. This is a divine radiance, and that radiance will remove all the negative vṛttis, radiances, which are coming from physical, mental, and electronic waves, pollutions. Therefore, we are here, and we think one thing: it is a very good bhajan. Mastānahelī Gaganopamāgerak Jodhāranī Jodhir Rāmjī Gagan Jodhāranī Jodhir. Hello, Kaiye? Yes, Hari Om. Saganjī hai? Hello Mahelī Jatāpandakī Saṅkana Mane Sambhana Bhadrahī Rāmajī Jatāpantakī Saṅkana Mane Sambhana Bhadrahī Jatāpantakī Saṅkana Mane Saṅkana Mane. So when one is purified from all kinds of mental pollution... which is Kapil Muni Patañjali Yog, Maharishi Patañjali says, Kliṣṭa-akliṣṭa vṛttis. When a person has negative vṛttis, kliṣṭa vṛttis, then only sorrow is left, there is kaleśa. And when a person has good thoughts, in which there is no kind of trouble, these two vṛttis, kliṣṭa-akliṣṭa vṛtti, are opposed by mantra chanting. The mantra given by our Guru, the meaning of mantra is that when the mind is satisfied, then the mind does not have any kind of hunger. The mantra is satisfied. As long as the disciple does not get alms from such a good guru and does not get good mantras, then his salvation cannot be achieved. That is why it is very important to be a Gurumukhī, and it is also very important to practice his mantra. And if a practice is done, then they will definitely get good results. We take the name of God. God’s name can be taken in any form or at any time. It is good. For example, when a farmer sows seeds in a field, he does not worry about the seeds falling in the wrong direction or in the right direction. The seeds will be planted in the right direction. Similarly, if we practice our mantras wherever we go, we will definitely get the benefits of planting seeds in the right direction. But the same farmer will sow the seeds well and take good care of them. Then it will be fast and will be successful. Because throwing seeds like this, there are many insects, birds, animals, and so on. They can harm it, so the one who tells by the method is also protected. Gurudev ke āśarīrvād rūpī kavaca, jisne pahan rakā hai, aur uske antargat mein reh kar ke jo sādhanā kartā hai, to kahā jisko rakhe sahiya mār sake na koī, bāl na bāṅkā kar sake, chāhāī jo jagvairī hoī. Jiski Bhagavān rakṣā kartā hai, jiski Gurudev rakṣā kartā hai, jitne tāre gagan mein uske duśman hoi, kṛpā ho Gurudev kī, jāke mare sabhī koi. As much as the stars are in the sky, as much as the enemies are in the sky, but if you remain in the form of the grace of Gurudev, then no one can harm you. That is why meditation should be learned. Only then does it open the tenth door, which is called Sahasrāra Cakra, which is called the tenth door, which is called Brahmaraṇḍra. A sādhaka who practices vidyāvatā, on whom the grace of the guru is bestowed, his jīvātmā comes out of the Sahasrāra Cakra in the end. And from the different doors of others, and the one who goes to hell, and the one who goes to the zone of Ket, Pāśupakṣya, Sarap, Viśva, etc., when he dies, he gets Malpisab. That is, his Jīvātmā went through that door, which is the door of hell. That is why we should always keep our high thoughts and high feelings, and we should practice that practice, so that our consciousness, our Jīvātmā, in the end, will be in Sahasrāra Cakra and will be in Brahma. So in this, one practice should be done on a pure land. So what will be the pure land or place of our Prayāgrāj Tīrtha? What will be the bigger land? Here, even those who are born are fortunate. Whether they know it or not, whether they are Hindu, Muslim, or Christian. In the court of God, this is not a problem. These are all the problems. After death, they will not say, "I am a Muslim, send me to the mosque." And the Hindu will say, "Send me to the temple." The Christian will say, "There is neither a shrine nor a temple." They are one. Wo sūkṣma jagat, uskī āge jo jaisā tumhārā karm hogā, vaise hī jāoge. Patta tuta daal se le gayi pavan udāy, ab vichāre kab milenge, aur dūr paḍenge jāy. So, when this breath leaves, with it these bonds of yours, this bondage of ignorance—that I am this, I am that—we are only one human. And what are the qualities of humanity? If we live our lives according to those qualities, our sages have said this, and sages have told us the saṃskāras of our Sanātana Vedic Dharma. Surely, through those sixteen saṃskāras, this jīva can attain salvation from chaurāsī (the cycle of 84 lakh births). This is why it is very important to perform saṃskāras. Those who have not performed saṃskāras, therefore, this is very important that we are here. And we create those vṛttis, those thoughts in our mind, which are positive. Whatever you will think, it will come true. If you think negative, it will come true; you will be negative. It is like that. Whatever you think, it will come back to you, the great saint. From Paramahaṃsa Yogānanda’s grand master, he said, "Each thought which goes out of the human mind, it will cycle like a boomerang, and it will come back to that human. Bura vichār karoge to wo tumhāre pās hī wapas āyegā. Achhe vichār karoge to bhī tumhāre pās āyegā. Is sampūrṇ brahmāṇḍ me kahī̃ aisī jagā nahī̃ hai ki tumhāre kī huī karam udhar calā jāyegā. Nahī̃, wo tumhāre pās hī āyegā. Ye janam janam kī gāthrī bandī huī hai, pāpon kī yā puṇṇī kī gāthrī, hamāre kandho ke upar, hamāre kamar ke upar. Iss liye kyõ? Hum pāp dhoye." Why do we have such bad thoughts? God is one, not two. All of us are the form of God. Even animals are the form of God. That is why a great man is called a saint, who has good thoughts, good values, good manners, good manners,... good manners,... good manners, good manners. That’s all I have to say. Today, I will give my speech a rest, and after 10 minutes, Mahāśiva Purāṇa will be shown. So, you are all welcome to come, and Mahāśiva Purāṇa will be shown outside so that a maximum number of people can sit. That’s all I have to say. I will give my speech to rest. Śrīmān Nārāyaṇa Nārāyaṇa... Śrīmān Śrīmān Nārāyaṇa Nārāyaṇa... Śrīmān Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa,... Jaya to Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān, to Devādhī Deva, Deveśvara Mahādeva, to the Hindu Dharma Samrāṭ, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān, to the Satya Sanātana Dharma, to all sages and great souls. Oṁ Sarve Bhakti. Oṁ Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ.
