Satsang from London

Śiva is universal consciousness, liberation, truth, and beauty, the self-manifested source of all. Yoga, the Vedas, and all wisdom originate from Śiva, who can destroy negativity with the third eye. The Śiva liṅga represents the endless universe, which is space. Within that space is consciousness. The energy that unites space and consciousness is Śakti, the primal power behind all perception and action. Śakti is not gender but the divine energy balancing creation. Two forces exist: the divine spiritual energy and the destructive demonic energy. Śiva oversees creation and dissolution, intervening only when necessary. True devotion is the heart's surrender, leading to liberation.

"Śiva means mokṣa. Śiva means liberation. Śiva means the consciousness."

"Without that Śakti, our body cannot exist."

Part 1: The Glory of Śiva and Śakti Devā Kī Jaya! Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jaya! Hindu Dharma Samrāṭ Satguru Svāmī Mahādvājanājī Bhagavān Kī Jaya! Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī Jaya! Śiva. Śiva means mokṣa. Śiva means liberation. Śiva means the consciousness. Śiva means the truth. Śiva means the beauty, and Śiva is that Swayambhū. Therefore, Śiva is the first one. Bhale means he is very merciful. He doesn’t think of our good and bad karmas. He wants to take away all the sins and karmas and bless us with all good qualities and blessings. Swayambhū means he who has manifested himself. Only there is one who has no father and no mother, and that’s Śiva. He just appeared, manifested himself, and when Śiva came, he was in meditation. So yoga, the science of yoga, the knowledge, the wisdom, the chakras, the energies, yantras, mantras, all this is blessed upon us by Śiva, the Vedas, which are the Brahmā. But who gave the Vedas to Brahmā? Śiva. Therefore, Śiva is that which can fulfill our wish; he can liberate us. But though he is a very, I would not say innocent, still he is a very kind one with us. But still, when there is too much negative energy, then he is known as a tri-netra-dhārī. Tri-netra-dhārī. Tri means three, netra means eyes. Two eyes here and one is here. In the Ājñā cakra, that inner eye, there is a third eye. When you open the third eye, you get the wisdom, the light. But when Śiva opens his third eye, then whatever is there, everything in front, it burns. So he can destroy all the negative things for the sake of his bhaktas, devotees, and all other creatures. Not only that, he comes and blesses us because we are his devotees. No. He has no differences. One in all, all in one. He is one with all. Satyam Śivam Sundaram. Satya, truth. Śiva, liberation. Consciousness, pure consciousness. and Sundaram, the beauty. If you want to see what is the beauty, then look into the clear blue sky when it is beautiful. It has rained and all the dust is gone, and you just see the sky, endless, and there is the beauty of Śiva. Wherever we see, it is only space and space and space. So the Śiva liṅga means the universe. It is that embodiment. The Śiva liṅga is representing the endless space. The space is a mother, that’s mother body. Within that space, which we see everywhere, one without second, within that is a consciousness. Consciousness is within the space, not the space in the consciousness. Between these two, the space and consciousness, we don’t see the border, we don’t see the dualities. It is a oneness and oneness and oneness. But there is still something which we can’t see, and that’s called the energy, Śakti. When we speak about Śakti, it is energy, the power, and that energy is called Yogamāyā. Yogamāyā, Māyā is energy. Māyā means "not this," illusion, what we always... Tell it is māyā. Māyā is a great we worship. We receive the yoga Māyā. There are 52, 52 Śakti Pīṭhas, the place of the Holy Mother’s. When the first time Śiva manifests, aids and Brahmā and Viṣṇu, so. Śiva told them, "Brahmā, now begin to create creation," and told Viṣṇu, "You should rest in tapasyā in the ocean to protect and balance all." So the first born was Śakti Māyā, and that Śakti was married to Śiva, Śiva and Śakti. Om Śakti! Om Śakti! Om! Om Śakti! Om Śakti! Om! Om Śakti! Om! Om Śakti! Om Śakti! Om! Om Śakti! Om Śakti! Om! Om Śakti! Om Śakti! Om! Om Śakti! Om! Om Śakti, Om Śakti, Om Śakti, Om Śakti, Om Śakti, Om Śakti,... Om Śakti, Om Śakti. Śiva Bhakti Śiva Bhakti Oṁ Bhakti Oṁ Bhakti... Oṁ Oṁ Bhakti Oṁ Bhakti Oṁ Oṁ Śakti Oṁ Śakti... Oṁ Oṁ Jñāna Śakti Jñāna Śakti... Oṁ Oṁ Jñāna-Śakti Jñāna-Śakti... Om, Om Brahma-śakti Brahma-śakti... Om Brahma-śakti Brahma-śakti ... Om, Om-śakti Om-śakti... Om Om-śakti Om-śakti... Om, Om Śiva-śakti Śiva-śakti... Om Śakti Śiva-Śakti Śiva-Śakti Om Devīśvara Mahādeva kī jaya. What we hear, something, that hearing energy is the Śakti. What we can see, there is that śakti through which we can see. What we can speak, the sound, is the Shakti. Digestion is a Shakti. To breathe in and out is the Shakti. Strength in the body, movability is a Śakti. Never, and never, compare Shakti to what we call the genders, male and female. This is completely misinterpreted by the people. This is not what people think. It is consciousness and energy, Śiva and Śakti. So this śakti, ādhyā śakti, ādhyā śakti means the eternal, original, that śakti which is uniting, balancing, and harmonizing between the space and consciousness. And that’s called yoga. That is the science of yoga. So when you practice yoga, you get that balance. When you worship the Śiva Liṅga here, it means the entire universe. Within that universe, whatever the principles or divine śaktis, consciousness and light, we worship all in one, one in all, and all in one. And therefore, in the endless universe, there are two strong śaktis – devī śakti and āsurī śakti. Devī śakti is spiritual, divine śakti, positive śakti, the light, etc., etc. And āsurī śakti, what we call the devils, devils. Ignorance, ignorance, darkness, suffering, destructive, anger, hate, jealous, etc., etc., that is called āsurī śakti. Asura means you call the satan, the satanic śakti. When the satanic Shakti enters your body, you become such an aggressive and angry person. You will cry, and you will scream, and you will talk nonsense. One day when you calm down, you will say, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was so emotional. I didn’t think, and I was shouting at you." The wise one says, okay. So what we humans think and divide this divine, divide the divine things into the material things, that is ignorance and that is a sin. So Śiva is a universal consciousness, is a consciousness. There is Śiva, who has two duties: the work, the principle, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. So Śiva has two works: one is called creator, Sarjan Hara, and Visarjan Hara, who is beginning the creation, or when there will be Kali Yuga or whatever it is called, maybe after many, many Yugas and Yugas, everything will be destroyed. When there is so much sin, that time Śiva will open his third eye and everything is finished. Everything, all, nothing, no life anymore. Then a new world will start, new creation will start, new life will start after ages and ages, that Śiva. Again, he meditates, and the materializing just disappears, energy, just energy. Like there’s a flame, and when you blow out the flame, but don’t know where it’s gone. Similarly, at that time, he is a Śiva. For the other rest of the times, he is a kind... He supports us, he helps us everything, and there you go, you go in every, you guys chant, you guys call, you guys do, you guys this, you guys there is a changing their protocol, so Śiva tells the Brahmā, that now you should begin the creation. And so, through Brahmā’s gyānendriyas, these ṛṣis were born: to the ears, to the eyes, to the nose, to the tongue, and through the mouth, and which came to the... Mouth, they call the learned person the priest, Brahmin, and Viṣṇu. His duty is protection, protect all, and when it is necessary, then destroy the Asurīśakti. Śiva doesn’t interfere in these three things: the Brahmā’s work and Viṣṇu’s work, but when Brahmā and Viṣṇu cannot manage this all, then Śiva comes, then Tāṇḍava Nṛtya comes, everything is gone. So, a space, energy, the Yogamāyā and Śiva consciousness. So the Śakti is always with that Śiva, it means the balance, kindness, everything, and there are all symbols. So you see that all spiritual, divine, what you call God or God is, or whatever you call, they have two things always: they have a weapon in the hand and their blessing, hand blessing, weapon, prasād, different things, because where asurī śakti, which is impossible for them to control, then the weapons are there. So the biggest weapon that Śiva has is his third eye, and you know now. We have a Kumbh Melā coming, and we will have this Kumbh Melā one month in Ujjain. And you know the story of the Mahā Kāleśvara, Mahā Kāla? Kāla means the death, but Mahā Kāla is the death of the... So this whole story is different, I will not tell you now. It’s a long story, but the Yama Rāja, the king of death, he wanted to take away, kill Śiva’s bhakta, and this bhakta, he was holding the Śiva Liṅga, and there no death can come, no ghost can come. If you are standing near the Śiva Liṅga, nothing will happen to you. Even in an earthquake, nothing will happen. Even the lightning coming down, it will not happen. If you touch or hold the Śiva Liṅga, that’s all. Try? Yes? Try? So, there was a time, and the Yama Rāja, the king of the dead, is called Rāja, Yama. So when people were getting this moped, Yama, you know, so I said, "Oh, God." And yes, I said, this Yama will destroy them. And so, you know, many die with this accident. I said, "Oh, Yama, please carry them comfortably." But that is another language, then it’s no problem. So, but no, any messenger of Yama could take him away, the boy. And it is said, it is high time to bring him here. There is the justice, Dharmarāja, he is called Dharmarāja, the king of justice, and Yamarāja, the king of death. And the justice, he gives the order, he gives the judgement, and Yamarāja sends the messengers. But who has that kind of energy, or who dares to come to the Śiva Laya, Śiva Mandir, temple, or Śiva Liṅga? So the Yama Rāja, he came himself. Rarely, he will come to take this creature away as death. So when his messengers couldn’t manage, then Yama Rāja came himself, riding a buffalo. Water buffalo. His chariot is a water buffalo. Śiva is a Nandi. Viṣṇu is Garuḍa. So, Yama Rāja came, but even he couldn’t come near to this little boy. And he’s holding like this, Śiva Liṅga. And he looked to them and said, "No, I will not come." He’s again there. But he said, "I will destroy you. I will kill you." So, Śiva came, and there was a battle. So Yama Rāja said, "I am the Kāla. Kāla means death. I will take him." Śiva said, "Okay, if you are a Kāla, then I am a Mahākāla." So I will kill the Kāla. I am the Mahākāla. And Śiva opens his third eye, and Yama Rāja was finished. He became an ass. Śiva took this ass and put it on his body. From that time, they are making this Tilak a victory of Śiva, and the glory and the liberation of that Bhakta of Śiva. So that, and this is the Mahākāleśvara. There is this Kumbha Melā, and now when we go, all, I will organize for you who is coming to enter. The Śiva temple, and you will have a chance for ten seconds, one second, to touch that Liṅga. Mahākaleśvara. Because we are too many, and there are millions of people waiting there. And normally, they don’t allow foreigners, so they have to check everything, and no photos in this. But when I come, then I am Mahākāleśvara’s bhakta. And you are also the bhaktas, so we will request Śivjī, and he will definitely allow it. Otherwise, generally, you can’t go. You cannot make a photo, and you cannot go even without Kumbh Melā. This is it. But they know that yes, you are a real bhakta, and you have a pure life. You’re not consuming alcohols and this and that, then okay, therefore, glory of the Śiva and Śakti. So Śakti is that Śakti. Without that Śakti, our body cannot exist. When one is very ill and can’t get up from the bed, they say, "I have no more power, please help me, I can’t sit up, help me, I have no more Shakti, no strength." That is a Shakti, not this money, not this Māyā. Misunderstood this, and so the Śiva Liṅga is the entire universe, and we are all existing in that. And that Śakti, Mahā Śakti, Yoga Śakti, Yogamāyā, this is balancing, holding the space and consciousness. Like two bricks are held by cement. And so, everything—our body is functioning with that. And Śiva needs the bhakti. God needs that bhakti, bhakti, the devotion, devotion. When devotion and you have consciousness only towards there, to your God whom you believe, or your Gurudev, like Mīrābāī, stories we had many times. There you go, hold on, hold on that faith, so decently I can. I tell you, it’s about one and a half months, I think already gone, not even a complete month. Time is going so quickly, and I am traveling so much, you know. I am like a tornado. So I telephoned, because I was in Bangalore, in that Ayurveda, in that university, Swami Vivekananda S. Vyasa University. And so I telephoned this Bhakta, maybe he is in Bangalore with his father, and that Bhakta, his name is Rajendra, a great Bhakta and Sanskrit scholar and very nice. And his wife is also, and he has one son, a very beautiful and very brilliant student. So he answered, but he was at the airport in Melbourne. And he says, "Swamiji, I am going home because my father is ill." And so he took the aeroplane and came. And the father was only waiting for him. He came and he spoke to the father, and the father said, "Now I’m preparing, I’m going, that’s all," and finished. Now, what a good day. He was a little ill, so and so, but so conscious. He said, "Now I’m preparing for my journey, that’s all," and neither was he nervous, nor was he in pain, nor any scare. Nothing, I am going. What kind of bhakti he did, what kind of seva he did. He had a family, he had his wife, two sons, one daughter, and grandchildren from the daughters and from the sons. He had everything. He had a guru bhakti; he was very much attached to me, and this is called honesty. When you have in your heart honesty, then you don’t have other desires. When you have desires, then you have impurity, and when... Your impurities, there’s a darkness, and there is the suffering, there’s a pain. So, this ignorance, this darkness, brings our soul into the darkness. But if we have that clear consciousness and we adore God, we have devotion towards God, we respect God, that time when we come to God or when we realize that, yes, this is my iṣṭa devatā, then you can say, I love my God. Otherwise, nowadays, the love and love and there’s only love, love,... love, love,... Part 2: The Heart of Devotion Love, love... love, love... This, therefore, try: we are mortal beings. We have a body, we have these elements, we have all these desires. We have hunger, we have thirst, we feel cold. We feel this is natural; this is life. But in the heart, that devotion, that is bhakti. And that is Śiva. Oṁ Namah Śivāya! Oṁ Namah Śivāya! Oṁ Namah Śivāya! Devīśvara Mahādeva! Jīvana Bhagavān! But even God has to suffer because of the bhakta. You will see that Śiva also was sometimes sad. When the Śakti did not follow him, because she wanted to go to her father. Her father was organizing a very big yajña, and he did not invite Śiva. She was so angry with her father, asking why he didn’t invite Śiva. She went there, and there was a long story, you see, in the Mahābhārata, the Śiva Purāṇa. And her father humiliated her and said, "No, I don’t want to invite Śiva." So she said, "I cannot go back." And she sat in the fire, and she burned herself. And then what Śiva told her, "Don’t go. If there is no invitation, it doesn’t matter. Let him have his yajña." But she said, "No, I will go." Again, he said, "I tell you, my dear, it’s not good to go." She said, "No, I will go, and I will see." So that’s all. So when the woman tells her husband, "No, I will do this," and I’m going to tell her husband, "I have no power." He will say, "Okay, as you like." What? As you like. Or her husband says, "Then a nice wife," she will say, "Well, I can only tell you it’s not good." That’s all. So she died. So his messengers gave the message to Śiva, and Śiva was sad. They brought the Śakti’s body, and he stood up, took her on his shoulder, and he just disappears into the endless universe. Disappeared, disappeared. No one had the power to stop him, and no one could go with him. He disappears in the endless universe. Now, many things happen, and there is no one who can do something. So Brahmā and Viṣṇu, they were praying, and the others were too. So they all went and said, "Brahmā," she said, "Viṣṇu Bhagavān, only you can solve this problem." No one else can, and Śiva is completely one with the Śakti, and he disappeared, and the Śakti is a dead body only. So this corporal with her, so Viṣṇu said, "Okay." Then Viṣṇu used that Sudarśana Cakra. You know Sudarśana Cakra? And who gave Viṣṇu the Sudarśana Cakra? Śiva. When Viṣṇu was doing anuṣṭhāna, and after his tapasyā and bhakti to Śiva, he said, "For fulfillment of my anuṣṭhāna, I will make abhiṣeka on Śivajī with a thousand lotus flowers." So Viṣṇu got a beautiful thousand lotuses, and each lotus had one name, and so the thousand names of Śiva was given by Viṣṇu, so he was doing this. Yes. Now Śiva said, "Okay, I have to give him some blessing or something, and I will see. Now I will test if his understanding is still strong or not." So Śivajī manifested himself behind, and Viṣṇu... He was taking the lotus flower and putting it on the Śiva Liṅga with his mantra, "Śivāya" or "Bholenāth," and so on, a thousand names. And Śivajī took one lotus flower and was standing behind. Now, there are one thousand names of Śiva. Now, one name is left, and there is no more lotus flower. And he said, "But I counted. It was exactly one thousand." And why is one missing? Where is it? Viṣṇu was very, very disturbed. He said, "I promise to my Lord Śiva that I will offer him a thousand lotuses. But today one is missing, and I can’t get up. I can’t stand up because if I stand up, my saṅkalpa is finished." So Viṣṇu Bhagavān was very disturbed. Then the voice came from Śiva’s voice. "Viṣṇu, why are you worried that one lotus flower is missing? You know, you have such beautiful eyes. Your eyeballs are like a beautiful bud of the lotus. Offer me that, give me one of your eyes." Who will say yes if God comes and says, "Okay, I liberate you, but give me one eye"? He said no. This way, he said, "Okay." Still, he’s sitting. He’s not looking left and right. He has to concentrate on the Śiva Liṅga, and so he prays, and he gets one arrow from Brahmā, a beautiful golden arrow. It comes in Viṣṇu’s hand, and Viṣṇu wants to take out the eyeball. And Nir came, and Śivajī held the hand. So you know, God will never let us go down. Happy end. That is the happy end. So Śiva held this and said, "Viṣṇu, your anuṣṭhāna is completed. Now, from today onwards, you will be known as Kamala Nayanā." Kamala means the lotus, Nayana means the eyes. Viṣṇu, from today you will also be known by the name Lotus-Eyed God. So beautiful when the pink lotus bud still didn’t open, and you look at it, it is like our beautiful eyeball. So you said, "Oh, look, this person has such good eyes." So, Viṣṇu said, "Thank you, God, but I give you two things. First, I give you the name Kamala Nayan God, Lotus Eye God. And the second, I give you Sudarśana Cakra. So this Sudarśana Cakra will be your emblem; you will be known by Sudarśana Cakra, and it will always be with you. But use this only when there is, you can’t support and help others, then use this, that only." So that is how the Sudarśana Cakra came to the hand of Viṣṇu. Now, Brahmā and all others went to Viṣṇu Bhagavān and said to Viṣṇu Bhagavān, "Please, Śivajī is a Bholenāth, and he carried on his order the Śakti, and Śakti is gone. And Śiva, no one has the power to take away from us his order, the Śakti. Viṣṇu, you can free him, so that Śiva comes back to us again." Then, Viṣṇu Bhagavān closed his eyes and saw where Viṣṇu is, in which part of the universe. And then Viṣṇu Bhagavān said to Cakra, "Free Śiva from the Śakti and free the Śakti’s body." So this cakra, Sūradāsa cakra, went and cut the body of the Śakti into 52 pieces. And these 52 pieces of the body, the organs of the Śakti, fell in this part of India, the Himālaya, and many different places. And that is called the Śakti Pīṭha, the holy seat of the Śakti. Her heart fell, fell down between the border of Rajasthan and Gujarat on one mountain, and that is a holy place. Since that time, a divine light, an eternal light, is burning. And you know what the name is there? What is the name? Ambājī. You see, it is called Ambāmā. You should go there and you should have a darśana. It is the heart of the divine, the divine mother, the Śakti. And there is a, you see, day and night the light is there. Now they made a temple down. Before, you had to go a little up the hill, and now they also made a kind of lift, a cable car, so you can go and have darśan. But when they have prayer down there, when they make it divine light, then you see that light from that temple where the Śakti’s heart is there still. So you go there, you must, we must go and have a darśan and pray of that. You go, and you will feel your heart immediately, happiness in your heart, healing heart, holy heart, that is called the holy heart. It came, but you have in the Bible written, holy heart, this is Ambājī’s holy heart, the Divine Mother’s. And that, or the Hanumanjī saw in his chest, in his heart, the Sītā and the Rāma inside. So we must go. I will take you there. I will bring you there. And you will see this. It’s a very small temple on the hill up. And there is one yogī, one swāmī, but he is always wearing the female dress. Earrings, and in the neck, and all this, bangles, and this and that. And for sixty years or sixty-five years, he did not eat or drink. And still very strong, going, walking, running, and many, many scientists were standing, staying with him many days and months. They never saw that he is taking something in the mouth or drinking, and still there, his āśram, she called it Śakti himself. And the ashram is there in Ambaji, where? Ambaji, the border between Rajasthan and Gujarat, after the Abu road, you go there. You must go there if it is possible. We should go and see that Swami also, very simple, very simple. And I can tell you how he looks like, exactly a ditto copy. He is like our Chandrika, yeah, you know, the Chandrika. Sister, here sitting Chandrika, they don’t know you. Come here. How are you? Yes, because they don’t see you. So this is my sister, yeah. And so that one, that he, what he calls, she always herself, exactly like her. And I tell her so many. Sometimes, eat a little bananas and milk, become a little stronger, about. See, I never saw her eating, but I know that she’s eating. So the miracles, there is a God, there is a Śakti. When you work very hard, it is what a Śakti you have, energy. And so, like this one farmer near Nepal, he’s a disciple of Mahāprabhujī, a farmer. Always had a white turban, white kurta, white dhoti. I know him. I knew him when I came to Nepal. He was still there, coming to the ashram and praying to Mahāprabhujī, so I was there. After I came to Europe, one day he had great-grandchildren. So his children, his grandchildren, his great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. So five generations was a life. One day, he called all the family members, about 200 or 300. That’s called a joint family. The family from his wife’s side, their uncles, their sisters, and all are our family. And his brothers and his children and their children and their husbands, all, this is called the family, the joint family. So he invited them. This is not a joke, a real story I’m telling you. A very normal farmer, but he had a mālā and mantra for Mahāprabhujī. So one day he invited all his family members and Guru Bhaktas, his Guru brothers and sisters, for a satsaṅg. And so they all came. It is about four kilometers from Nepal Ashram. When we go to Nepal, we always cross that village. So, satsaṅg, and he was there the whole night. They were singing bhajans, and at four o’clock in the morning, he took the water pot to bring water from the well because there were no water pipes. He went to the water well, he took the water, he washed himself, and he brought a water pot on his shoulder for all to drink. And then he said, "Now is the time for prayer." It was just Brahma Mūrta, sun rising. So it means now satsaṅg is finished, and we pray. So they were praying, and there was this gilamp. After prayer, all were sitting, making praṇām. And then he said something to everybody with folded hands, "All my dear ones, if I made any mistake in my life, if I said anything which you didn’t like, forgive me. And now I’m going to Mahāprabhujī. So from my side, I tell you all, Hari Om, and I’m going to Mahāprabhujī." And he gave the prasāda. So he distributed the prasad with his own hands, and then he said, and then he sat in front of Mahāprabhujī’s altar. He put his turban down, and he bowed down to Mahāprabhujī and said, "Please take me to your kingdom," and finished. He passed away. What a beautiful... this was not a death for me, you know. This was a liberation. So there are a few people I know, Mahāprabhujī’s bhaktas, who had this life, and how they are great. Very great, and some are still living who knew Mahāprabhujī, and their behavior, their way of talking, is completely different than other people. So I want to tell you this: it’s not necessary that you renounce. Or you change your dress colors, or this changes your feeling in the heart, and understand the devotion. And that devotion means that we surrender, and that is very beautiful. Therefore, it is it. So when on the tree the blessings come, and then fruits come. Many blessings fall down, many fruits fall down. Some remain growing, growing, growing. And it is near to harvest that fruit. But something happened: some wasp or some other bee came and made a hole, and now that fruit is rotten inside; it is not eatable anymore. And so Mahāprabhujī said, "The whole life was good, but in the last minutes you have some wasp who came and put the blackmail in your brain." Your year-long, lifelong devotion, bhakti, inside is rotten, not eatable, nothing, so that one they rejected. So many people, many bhaktas I see, also Brahma Prabhujī, though they have darśan and everything, but they lost the path and they had not this, so till. Throughout life, we should be devoted and faithful. It doesn’t matter what happens, but the most terrible thing that will happen is that we will die without ātmā jñāna or Guru kṛpā, to get that blessing. Therefore, Mahāprabhujī asked Gurujī, "What do you wish? Everything I can give you: kingdom, money, wealth, siddhis, everything." And Holy Gurujī said, "I need only one thing. If I have to come again in life, please let me be thy servant to serve you. And if you don’t accept my service directly, then let me serve your bhaktas. But accept my service through bhaktas or His bhaktas that I can, this service should come to Thee, O my Bhagavān, Śrī Dīpna and Mahāprabhujī." So that was the bhakti of Gurudev. For Ode Gurujī, day and night, Gurudev, Gurudev, Gurudev. And in all of us, our heartbeat is balanced on this name, this mantra, Oṁ Gurudev. Look, you will see how it is. Just try. But you have doubts, and you have this, and once you have guru bhakti and once not, and this. That is rotten fruits. When they fall down near the tree, they also become stinky. So, solid confidence, yes, "This is my Lord, Bhagavān." But it doesn’t matter how it is, then we can come through. So, my dear, this was a story about these bhaktas and many other bhaktas from... Mahāprabhujī from Gurujī, great, great... So, wish you all the best, and the next webcast will be, I think, from Vienna next weekend. I pray to Mahāprabhujī and Gurujī and Devapurījī for your spiritual development, for peace and harmony. Let Devapurījī work for us in a divine way. Oṁ Śiva Śakti, Śiva Śakti. Oṁ Śakti, Oṁ Śakti...
