Speech of Mahant Shree Ramanandji

You are fortunate to be under your Guru's guidance, which grants protection and fearlessness. This security arises from your devotion, not merely the Guru's presence. Your mind and body are one; disturbances in the mind directly affect the physical body. To find peace, you must first control the mind. The benefit you receive corresponds directly to the depth of your own faith and dedication.

"Śraddhāvān labhate jñānaṁ tat paraṁ śāntim aśnute."

"If you are under the guidance of your Gurujī, you are fearless."

Yes, it is very good. Give it to Mahārāj Jī. Give it to Mahāprabhujī. I would like to introduce here, from the Nirañjanī Akhāṛā, Śrī Mahant, respected Śrī Rāmānandajī Mahārāj. He is also one of the great friends of our reverend Gurudev, Swami Madhavānandajī, and I just requested him to come and visit our camp, so he was kind enough to come. Also, Her Holiness, Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar of the Amare Nirañjanī Akhāṛā, Ānandamayī Mā. In Haridwar, at the last Kumbh Melā, she became the Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar of the Amare Nirañjanī Akhāṛā. The Nirañjanī Akhāṛā and the Mahānirvāṇī Akhāṛā—these two are very close. In these two Akhāṛās, we have mostly very educated Mahāmaṇḍaleśvaras and our Mahant Śrīmanths and all. So, I would request our Śrīmanth Rāmānandajī Mahārāj to say a few words, please, in English, so that our foreigners can understand. Thank you. The floor is yours. Sarva Maṅgale Maṅgale Śeṣvara Sādike Śaraṇe Trambake Gaurī Nārāyaṇī Namostute. Reverend, most respected His Highness Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Swāmī Māheśvarānanda Kṛjī Mahārāj, Māheśvarānanda Purījī Mahārāj, and sitting, another Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara of the Nirañjanī Akhāṛā. As Mahārāj Śrī told you, at the last Melā in Haridwar, she was given this honor of becoming Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar, Mā Ānand May Purī. Also, Jasrāj Purījī. Jasraj Purījī is also here, because he never comes to, you may say, in our Akhāṛā. So I missed his name; I am sorry. And all of you here sitting in this camp, really, all of you are very lucky. Just sit in the protection and guidance of your Gurujī. I have just heard a few lines of the prayer, but really, they are very fantastic and very touching lines about life. The lines of the prayers are very clear. If you are under the guidance of your Gurujī, you are fearless. There is no fear in the mind, in the body, in the environment. Because you are being protected by everybody, by your Gurujī. So, all of you are very lucky that you are protected. But one thing is more, that depends on you, not your Gurujī. Gurujī is there, but it depends on you how devoted you are to your Gurujī. Śraddhāvān labhate jñānaṁ tat paraṁ śāntim aśnute. This is the verse of the Gītā. It depends upon you, how much devotion to you, to your God, to your Lord, to your Gurujī. So if you are devoted, in the same manner, you will get the, you may say, benefit, protection, and guidance of your Gurujī. Right? And one thing is that, every time, everybody in this world at least feels insecure. Insecure feelings come in the mind, and that affects your body. The body and mind are not separate. Whenever we talk about body and mind, it is not two, body and mind, it is body-mind. Whatever is going on in your mind affects your body. If you are angry, then the whole body system is changed and disturbed. Your BP and your blood pressure get high. So if you want to be peaceful, then first of all you have to control your mind. And that control of mind controls your body. I am sorry because I have to go to attend another program. But if I get time, I shall come tomorrow. And as I will give you a complete one hour, okay? Thank you. Wow. Chit Prakāśānandajī. Okay, then we will see you. Hari Om. You will now have Mahāśiv Prāṇa outside.
