Spiritual Sadhana

The practice of yoga and discipline aligns the practitioner with the divine. All spiritual beings become the God they worship, regardless of religion. Creatures of the dawn awaken for a higher purpose, while those active only in darkness engage in negative actions. Humans should emulate the discipline of the dawn, rising early for practice like the military, to restore balance. True yogic practice extends beyond physical postures to deeper spiritual levels. Great masters from India's lineage demonstrate profound spiritual power, performing miracles like restoring life. This land is considered divine. The current time is an opportunity to stay home with family and cultivate compassion, which is the root of all religion.

"All those who are spiritual, those who are ceremonious, they are that God which they worship."

"Dayā, dharma kā mūla hai. Pāpa mūla abhimāna."

Siddhi Pānīrañjana Śabadukā. This is the practice of yoga. All those who are spiritual, those who are ceremonious, they are that God which they worship. It doesn’t matter from which religion or country. It is said: "Japaṭ paśu or pakṣī pyāre, śubha aruṣyam." Japaṭ paśu or pakṣī pyāre, sāg or śubha. We know that early morning, all the creatures, all the birds, all the animals, they wake up long before sunrise. Maybe some wake five minutes before, but at the time of sunrise, they are awakened. All jīvas who are on that path towards God are going higher and higher. But there are those creatures who are only in the night, in the dark. Those creatures hunting in the darkness are dark in the dark, and they are like thieves. The thieves wait for the night, and when it is a dark night, they go to do something negative. This means also in humans: they wait for the darkness, then they will go to different actions—hunting something, cheating something, taking away from the house, many things. These actions are in the darkness. For example, what we call the red bed. The red bed in the night, they wake up. Also, bed in the rocks—they will come out when the sun sets. So this is a negative creature. Similarly, they are also like this. The rats, for example, hang upside down. Their mouth, their face is hanging down, and they cannot see, and they are hiding. They know they cannot see the light. It means that those who are negative people, who are acting, running, chatting everything in the night—not those who are making songs and bhajans in the night, that’s okay, for they have a light there—so there is a paśupakṣī. Paśupakṣī, the night. Sleeping, and morning they wake up. Now it is the Brahma Loka. Brahma Loka means Brahman—not a Śiva, not a Viṣṇu, not that Śiva and this—but Brahma Loka, the highest and highest and highest, pure purities. So there are many people. Many, many people wake up early morning automatically, and even the parents do not wake up. But there are little children, even you can see, they wake up. I have my disciple, one in Slovakia, and now he’s about 12, 13 years, 14, 13. When he was a little, he would wake up one hour before sunrise. The mother thought, "I want to feed him." After he was one year, then two years, five years, six years, he would wake up, and now also he will make meditation. He’s meditating and then making asanas and everything. Similarly, there are many, many people, not only one. And they are a little bit dizzy. It means to sleep. It is said that after sunset and the dark, one should go to sleep. But now, in this modern activity, mostly people are working in the night. Someone works day and night, and day and night. We call them the workaholic, workaholic work, who is doing the work. Alcohol, alcohol, all in hota hai. Many, many habits hoti hai. Similarly, also, there are people who cannot sleep. They cannot do anything, they do work more and more, more and more at the office. They sleep down on their table for a while, and then again they work. That is a habit. And habit is a man has according to their activities, so they can change, definitely they can change. And therefore, meditation and yoga are that which can bring again the balance of the activities. For the humans also, we have some people who have the night duty, they have day duty. This is a different thing. But generally, those who are living should go to sleep early and get up early. They are saying, "Early to bed and early to rise." Early to sleep, and early to rise. A healthy man will be a healthy man and a good man, so that’s very good. So tomorrow, all here who are listening to me, and you also who are sitting here, morning tomorrow, one hour before sunrise, finished like in a military. In the military, they are so disciplined. Early morning they get up, they make their bed very nicely, and then go shave, except the Sardārjī, and also cut their hair nicely, not like that. That is not, no. Military men have like this. They are very good, like human. Now you see, that was one man. There was someone said that in America, there was some kind of house for the people who are not managed mentally, and so on. There were mentally imbalanced people. So they had one, what we call them before, the humans like this, and they are always running away. They are so, also they are very intellectual in some way, though they are like this. When someone lets only that one person go outside to bring the dog there, and the door is open, he runs away—not the dog, but that person—and to run away and get them. And you tell the person who was like, "They’re like this." So what they did, they cut the head only till here, on this here, not the choṭī. This is best, but it is here. And why? Because when these disabled people, or these mad people, you can say, when they run, they will say, "Did you see that person?" Said yes here and here, so you can see him. That person was the barber. The barber made a joke, and the barber made everybody... this is a new tie, so he made all were there, though they don’t know who’s a stupid, who’s a stupid one now. And all people, they thought it is a new fashion. And so it is like this corona. The corona was in this way run through and through, and so immediately, like a corona, everybody looks like this. I mean, it’s not nice, but because this is a fashion, and the fashion, fashion, so... but the army does not do like that. The army has a very nice haircut, looks very good. Everything. And so the army people, they get up, they dust their bed, make it very nicely, and then clean, then go to the bathroom, shave and everything, take bath, take the dress, everything, and also nails, they have to be checking everything. And then they come out, and then it is like before sunrise, but comes the sunlight. That time, all have to stand in the field. Then, I don’t know how they are doing, but they said, "Left, right, left, right, one." Oh, my God. Sometimes, young people, they say, "Oh, God, they are shouting at me. At home, I was sleeping good. My father, my dada, oh God, dada, I don’t want that they are shouting on me." He said, no, it’s training. Training is training. And so, similarly, everyone has to go to make the sādhanā in such a way that humans... But the exception is only one. Because someone is working until twelve o’clock, twelve o’clock, then of course they have to get up a little. Or this and that. That is a different thing. Otherwise, so Paśupakṣī, always Gurujī said, "Japatapasu, Arpakṣī, pyāre śubha aruṣyam, hey mānav, hey human, you should also wake up and sing the prayer." You know, the birds are singing, all birds are singing, and why are they? We said, "Oh God, screaming, ’This, no!’" And how sweet, everyone is happy. And now, what we call the pesticide, many, many fields, there is poison and poison. All birds which are coming and eating, they’re dying, so these birds are running to the forest, somewhere in a very good village or park where the birds can live, so they sing. Birds are singing, and when they all come, they are singing to each other, "How are you? How are you? How are you there? How are your babies?" This, this comes and sees. Sit under our ashram, under the trees, that we should learn from them. And there are many, many birds now, many, many. And how nice! There you can sit and meditate. That is something, the resonance of such creatures. And so we should also have it in this way. So practice early morning. And if you are tired after one hour, after sunrise, you can sleep again, okay. But Brahma Loka or Brahma Mūrta, you should not forget. And so, Gurujī, he was singing bhajans. And sometimes Gurujī was singing bhajans until midnight or until two. And Gurujī had such good bhajans, singing and voice of Gurujī. You see, always on the case. And Gurujī, right, sleep. But one hour before, he sits again, and you know that many times you experienced that Gurujī’s was all time, "Mālā, where is my mālā today?" So the mālā is there. So what is that sādhanā? Yogic sādhanā is not only āsanas, it is not only this. Okay, okay, prāṇāyāma, āsana is very good. This is the first level, but after, there are many other levels. And there are many, many ṛṣis, many, many yogīs, many, many gurus, whatever you say. They are living in India; I would say, millions. In India, there are great, great persons, I think millions, not only one million. Though a house family, their husband, wife, they have children, but their pūjā and everything, that’s why India, India is India. Maybe someone for a while, but then they will again come back. The people who have studied very much become diploma and diploma and diploma, a very deep. Diploma means deep, deep lam, lamba, lamba. But at the end, even they will, when the last minute comes in their life, then say, "Rām, Rām," or "Bhagavān." Then we remember Bhagavān. But those who speak all the time, they are great and great. So, our Alakpurījī, and our Alakpurījī is from Satyuga. And there is a big, long study. Satya Yuga, Dvāpara Yuga, Tretā Yuga, and Kali Yuga. Till now, it is Alakpurījī’s somewhere here. He is like a reflection only. You see in the mirror and you look, and somebody is coming from this side, but you see in the mirror and suddenly is not there. Myself, in this five or four years, I had visions of Alak Purījī and our... Dr. Shanti said that she also had the visions of Alagpurījī two or three times. But what I saw, and he even gave me twice, on the rocks, sitting near the rocks, and one came out from the valley that side, the glaciers, and where the Pāṇḍava, he had to step the seven stories, flow, story, no? Steps. If he can cross now, then he will come to the Satopat, not Satopasari. Svarāgraha. And one step is not so big, like Yogesh. Like this, bigger than this wall. And there are seven steps still there, and so he has glaciers. Sleep, free. How did the Pandava Yudhiṣṭhira climb? Then he came up. You know the story? When we found Ālagpurījī had many caves, but this cave was just there. And it is said Pandava should go to have, get a blessing from him. And four brothers, and the Draupadī, they died. So there is a cave, and we are all blessed. Now many bhaktas are going, coming. Devapurījī, and now we have the Devapurījī. I have my visions. I came in my thoughts that Devapurījī got at once seven. Time of birth, same time in one mother’s womb, but only he, that is, I don’t know how it happens and when he will go to samādhi. He was also in many places, and that Maṅgīlāl-jī, who was Mahāprabhujī’s disciple, also, when he gave samādhi in his village, at the same time. He came up in the Bola Guda because there was a cave which Mahāprabhujī made for him. And all people from Bola Guda were sitting there, and they got one message, what we call a telegram. And they were reading the telegram, and Mangalalaji is coming. So they said, Mangilal jī, we got this telegram. Aap tu samādhi lelī. Kyā to hotāyī hai? And he came near, and people made praṇām. He disappeared. Like just a wind is gone, Maṅgīlāl jī. That is such a sādhu. And so our Bhagavān, Devapurījī, He was there and Alagapurījī, I think, gave him everything. So there is one thousand waterfalls, one big, big ocean, one rock, a very big rock. And there are a thousand waterfalls. And it is said that Devpurījī could go through the rock outside. And he could walk without a floor, which you have seen. Many still, the people are here, they are old, but they see themselves with their own eyes. And so, there was some, yesterday somebody said on the web and Facebook, that there are yogīs who can give their life again, and they saw it was a little, is it not that way? So I said, yes, I want to tell him that Devpurījī, he gave life of life to one, a died one girl, Meena, and she died. They were carrying her to the grave, and Dev said, "What are you doing? She’s a dead girl, and she died two, three hours ago. No, no..." Come here and bring one neem leaf, put in her mouth, and she’s dead. He said, "She’s not dead, don’t worry." He said, "Betī," meaning daughter, "get up," and she gets up. And she, last year, I in Kelās Ashram, I was sitting there, and she came there to see me because she’s a few kilometers far from the kela, but she said, "I want to see my ashram," so she came there. We made a photo, we made talking. What she said and my doc, our, our Umāpurījī, she was making film, so there she was sitting. And she told this, what happened and how it had to happen. Devapurījī, another one, that one boy, one died boy, one boy and Pampan Rajput, a little child, and he had only one child. And they were, but his mother and her father, they were very devoted, they were crying, all people coming together, and so, but his mother said, "I will not give my child to the graveyard, I will go to my Gurujī, Devapurījī." And she is bringing there, Devapurījī was in his... Kutiya comes there, very strong dogs, but dog only attacking, not biting anything. But mother is a mother. She went straight, came. The snakes also went there, and she said, "Please, my child is died, but I know he is not dead. You have to give." He, life again, he said, "They put," he said, "You don’t know he’s hungry. Give him milk. Give the breast, milk from her." And said, "But the child is hanging." So he said, "He’s not hanging. Take it in hand, head in." And he began to drink the milk, people. Know the Kailash people with the hole in that area. People know that Devapurījī could bring life to animals and humans. Similarly, you know, in Līlāmṛta book it is written, both all this and one more: that one hunter went to hunt many birds. In the basket, about 30-40 birds, and Devpurījī was coming from the other side, and the hunter, he was coming from the other side. And now he was very, very afraid, and Devpurījī was walking so quickly, like this, so he put that basket under some bush. And Gurudev said, "What did you put under that bush?" Nothing, you lie. I know from far distance, one, two kilometers. What is that? You have killed the birds? Yes, Guruji. Why? For my children. Your children, you are for your children. But how many birds have you killed, their children? So that mother will kill or row of life, cry or this you? Devapurījī went there and kicked with his foot, and all the birds, which were dead bodies, all of them went, and he went away. Similarly, there was one person, and there was something that happened. So Devapurījī said, "Very soon you will have your wife." He said, "Gurudev, I have one wife and one child." He said, "I know, but she will die very soon now, and the child needs a mother. So in a few days, you will get a new wife." And really, when he came there, that lady died, and there were the ceremonies for her for 10 days, and a very nice wife again came. This is so. This is how Devpurījī’s, and similarly when Devpurījī came to the Khatu, there, how many miracles there? And when Bāpujī, the story is completely, then so Devapurījī, when came to Kailāsh from Kailāsh Khattu. And Arivāṣṇī said, "Where are you going?" Somebody said, "Mahārāj, where are you going?" He said, "I’m going. That one mother gives the birth, but that is a Viṣṇu. I come to save him of darśan." And then, you know, what? How it happens together with Mahāprabhujī and Devapurījī. So Vishnu is very humble and like this. But that other Shiva, after this, is that which is very strong, the Shiva. And so Śiva is Devapurījī, and Viṣṇu is Bhagavān, Devapurījī, Dīpnārā, and Mahāprabhujī. This is in the stories, but I want to tell you, and all those who are listening, my dears, still, you can come if you want to see the living people. Still, that yes, that was the right. It is in the books, and it is in the videos everywhere, but still, if you want to see someone, they are old people already, but they will say, "Yes, how is it like this?" And Devapurījī never went to eat in someone’s house if they gave outside. Okay, other go many, many. And now, last year when I came near to Khatu, there is a Holi Guruji. These many, many great bhaktas, they said to me, "Maheśvarānand jī, you don’t know." Still, you don’t know about Devapurījī and Mahāprabhujī. Many people don’t tell anything, but we still have that. And still, those two bushes, we call them care. And there is one stone. Devpurījī was lying there, under this. And he had some, he was in Badrināth, and he got something from Badrināth. And then he was there all somewhere, brought some cells. Devapurījī is the Devapurījī. And we can say that he is a yogī, a practicing yogī. Only a bodybuilder is nothing. But we need our body healthy, very good, healthy, wealthy; all have to be this. But that yogī, and so with, let’s have come, that ṛṣi is from, there are many people, they go and say, "I am the ṛṣi." But a ṛṣi is a ṛṣi. And you know the Alagpurījīs? There are a lot of glaciers in the Himalayas. And these glaciers are known as Alāgapurī glaciers. And these glaciers, when you go far there, it is coming to Mount Kailash. And so, from Kailash to come there, there are many, many day journeys. But at the same time, many, many people, they were just like nothing. They were like animals. They were eating everything. But ṛṣis, and where they came from, either they ran, or they were worshipping and worshipping. So it is that life, and it is Bharat or India. This is that. This, therefore, that’s called the Vāśundharā. This earth, this earth of India, is called Vāśundharā, the divine. Therefore, now something is happening, a little bit dizzy. Okay, stay at home, stay at home. Now you have, you have a chance to stay with the whole family in the house. Otherwise, you are there, and you are there, and you are now there. Or, like me, I’m not Austria, and then I’m Slovakia, and I’m Czechoslovakia, then I’m in Croatia, and then I’m in America, and then I’m in Africa, and then and there, oh my god. But now I think... Mahāprabhujī said, "Come, sit down," and so I am here also. So, my dear, Bhārata is a Bhārata, and dayā, if you have the dayā, then dayā is in India. But now, those who lost the dayā, they are going on the other path. Otherwise, dayā dharama kā mūla hai, pāpa mūla abhimāna. Tulsi Dājī said, "Tulsi Dājī said, ’Tulsi, dayā na chhoḍiye, jab lag ghaṭme prāṇa.’" Tulsi Dājī said, "Oh bhaktas, oh my dears, as long as in your heart life inside, you should be dayālu. Dayā, dayā, dharam kā mūl hai, so dayā is dharam." Dharma means religion. The roots, the roots of the religion, is the daya, dayālu. Dayā, dharma kā mūla hai. Pāpa mūla abhimāna, and sin is abhimāna. Abhimāna means ego. Tulsīdās jī kā that said. Yes, that’s it. Therefore, let us again forget all our anger and jest, and for any countries who have problems now, we shall ask Mahāprabhujī. Om Namah Śrī Prabhu Dīpa Nārāyaṇa. Om Namah Śrī Prabhu Dīpa Nārāyaṇa. Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī. So, Tulsidājī did not make Śaṅkhaprakṣālana and this and that at all. No? Tulsidājī, he was not doing āsanas, prāṇāyāma, this and that and this, but was doing the sādhanā. Did Bhagavad-gītā’s Kṛṣṇa also do āsanas, prāṇāyāmas? So they are all. We are all, but asanas and pranayama are for our body and our life—to be happy, to be healthy. Through yoga and pranayama, our body becomes healthy, our body becomes very relaxed, and our body can work furthermore.
