Help comes from the Heart

The essence of spiritual practice is devotion and the grace of the Guru, which is the sole means to true knowledge and liberation. All deities themselves offer devotion to the Guru. The bhajan is a practice that awakens immense happiness and joy within the heart, just as birds sing from their innate joy. These devotional songs are the timeless foundation of the teachings, conveying direct experience and wisdom. Current global difficulties reveal both human fragility and the opportunity for familial unity and introspection. The situation is managed through collective support and adherence to guidance, though challenges in education and resources persist. Aid must be distributed impartially through proper channels to avoid perceived favoritism, while maintaining reserves for essential duties. Observers ensure accountability, and all actions should proceed from the heart as selfless service.

Part 1: The Essence of Bhajan and Guru's Grace Oṁ karvindu sayoktaṁ nityadhyāyantayogina kaṁdaṁ mokṣadaṁ ceva oṁ kārāyaṇamo namaha. Gurur brahmā gurur viṣṇur gurur devo maheśvaraḥ. Gurur śākṣāt paraṁ brahma tasmai śrī gurave namaḥ. Dhyāna mūlaṁ guru mūrtiḥ, pūjā mūlaṁ guru pādam. Mantra mūlam guru vākyam, mokṣa mūlam guru kṛpā. Oṁ śānti, śānti. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān kī, Devādev Deveśvar Mahādev kī, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandjī Bhagavān kī, Satyasanātan Dharma kī Gurudev, the Gurudev’s words, Gurudev has written in the book from his knowledge, understanding, etc. That is the real knowledge, the real knowledge. Otherwise, it is only outside, just like ours in this school. But Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalam, why is it like this? When and how? Therefore, even Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, and all others, all are giving devotion to Gurudev. Therefore, our Lalaninji Mahārāj’s bhajan and our dear Susila, she is not a Susila, Paras, Pushpa, yes, Pushpa. What is Puṣpa? Everyone is looking for the Puṣpa. Even Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, Guru, even Śakti, all are expecting Puṣpā. And pushpa means the flower. And the flower is the beauty. And what a very small, tiny seed is growing into a very little, tiny grass, but becomes a beautiful, big flower with a beautiful smell. It makes one always happy. The Pushpa should always be happy. Sometimes, Pushpa is also like a down. And why down? Because it is not Pushpa’s mistake. The mistake is that one who doesn’t give more water, yes, did not give the nourishment. When you come with water again, then the flower is awakening up again, smiling. And therefore, let us see what Gurudev’s bhajan is today. And after that, I will translate our āratī, our prayers, our pūjā. What does that mean? I will see if Pushpa is emotionally ready. She will sing five bhajans, then it is okay. I will tell you tomorrow. But that is also more than that. What I will talk about, therefore, my dear all bhaktas, all the spiritual practitioners, and many, many blessings, let us come to the... This sādhanā, these bhajans, these prayers, this āratī, this pūjā. Japa, paśu, arpa, akṣi, pyāre, śubha, aruṣyam. Oh, my dear, evening and morning, even the birds and all creatures, they are chanting. You see the birds in the evening when the sun is setting, and also when the sun rises, how many birds are dancing and singing. When they are in their heart, why is a bird dancing or why is she chanting? Why? Because in their heart, there is happiness. So, bhajan which awakens in the heart immense happiness, immense joy, and it makes all through this. So bhajan, that is bhajan, bhajan. Bhajan means practice, bhajan, and one should chant bhajan. So, Pushpā jī, please, today, come and sing some night bhajan. Hari Om. Charanokhi pada kamalokhi prabhu, charanokhi pada dharanokhi Charanokhi rajdena dayalu maya charanokhi.

Thank you. Blessed self, dear bhaktas, we all know that on the whole globe there is some kind of negative energy. There is also a way to purify the negative energy. But we humans don’t know why it’s happening. Maybe we know it’s happening. Definitely, it is a cause formed by humans, and of course, from the pollution, which is also created by humans. In this one and a half month, and in one month, it was that all people were staying at home, and they had the family joy. They understood, again, because the husband and wife, many, they are not at home. One is studying somewhere, one is an officer somewhere. One has a duty in Mumbai, one has a duty in Delhi, or some have a duty in America, etc., etc. But now this has brought together the whole family, and we shall understand each other, and we are singing many bhajans or songs according to the countries, according to their knowledge, their religions, etc. And we know in this day by day, something is again coming like the waves, and sometimes again getting back. We do believe in this summer time, and we will see that in the hot days. Definitely, we will overcome. We will overcome, we will overcome, we shall overcome. Oh my, we will one day overcome. So anyhow, in this way, we are trying to make humans happy. But, my dear, I think now more general people are more unhappy. Many countries are rich, and their governments are giving them something, but many people are saying, "No, we can’t get anything." In many countries, there are people who put it in the rooms. There are a few workers who were somewhere in different countries, from different countries. So the situation is not so good. But our Prime Minister Modi Ji said, we will, we will overcome. We please wait, just wait more, and we will win everything, it is said. Part 2: The Two Wells: A Parable of Sustenance For many, the situation is like this. There is a water tank, full of water—measured not in liters but in cubic meters. Sooner or later, however, that tank slowly diminishes. Then there is a water well. Inside, it may hold only a certain amount, say five thousand gallons. Yet, many villages can draw from it, and the water will always be there because it comes from Mother Earth, from what we call in our language vāyu. These are two different things. Everyone is trying to help each other. Whom should I help? I can only help all through my words, my prayers, and by encouraging my friends to help one another. In such a situation, the government takes charge of the whole country. For example, in India, many hotels are closed, and the government has placed people in them. Those people are ill. Many large temples and ashrams are also being used, as there is a need to host people somewhere. You, all who are listening, have been building our Aum Ashrams—not only the temple but the college, the school, the hospitals, and houses. We had to block our hospital due to a shortage of doctors. I think after a few months, we will ask some doctors from Europe to come and help. I will take permission from the Indian government and from some Indian doctors as well. We will make our hospital very nice again. But now, our government has taken some of our very expensive machines to the government hospital in Pali. They came, and if I said no, they would take them anyway, as they now belong to the government. Before, they said, "I will take it even if you don’t give it." I said, "No, no, please take. Yes." They took the machines, but I told them we are giving these to government hospitals or to any hospitals that lack such instruments. I said, please take them as long as you need and then bring them back in the same condition. We have given a letter to the government, and the government has also given its signatures. Whatever will be, will be. At the same time, in our Viśvadīp Guru Kulasvāmī Maheśvarānanda Āśram, our hospital has 111 beds. The authorities are always watching, and when something happens, they will bring all their insight. I told them they could use it but to please take care of our old tools and secure the place. They said, of course, the government would do everything properly. Similarly, we face two problems: the government’s education department and private education. In private colleges and schools, students pay money, but now for nearly two months there has been no study. At the same time, the teachers are sitting at home but say, "You have employed us, and we want to be paid." Also, our buses, which we use for the Jñānaputras and others, are standing idle. The drivers and helpers also ask for payment. Many colleges may be managing, but we are not like that. It is a very critical situation for humans. Animals are happy, flying here and there. I think because humans were torturing animals too much, they have been given this reprieve. We went to God and said, "God, please give them a lesson," but it doesn’t matter. Humans will never understand. Again, the First World War, the Second World War—we were all very strict, and after just two or three decades, everything is forgotten. So we try to do something in our ashram as well, in what we call Jadan Ashram and Om Ashram. Already for two months, our work is closed, and we do not know for how long. We were thinking of having ceremonies at the end of this year or next year, but I do not know how far we will come. This is the Viśvadīp Gurukul Swami Maheshwarananda Ashram Education and Research Centre. We are all working here, and our Jñānaputras are waiting. Those who support the Jñānaputras can give through Swamiji TV or by sending support as you have been doing. But for our school and college, which we must now help ourselves, there is a lot of work still to be done. The authorities may also try to get some other rooms from us. They may take them, but they also said they hope not to have a situation where they must bring people into the ashram. There are some people who do not understand. They run away from their houses and create problems. They hoard grain and contribute to the spread of what we call the epidemic. We are trying to manage. In Rajasthan, we have two or three places; otherwise, it is very peaceful. Still, we do not want anyone to go out. If you go out, the police are standing there and will send you back immediately. If someone runs from one house to another, they should remain in that house for two weeks and not come to your house, lest they spread the disease. My dear, we have given, and I am very happy that you gave about 800 lakhs. We divided it into three parts for the government: five lakh for the area of Badīkhaṭū Mahāprabhujī, five lakh rupees for their area in Gujarat where there are very poor people, and we gave the rest to the government. I gave it to the government because if I gave it only to Premānanda, or only to Yogānanda, or only to the yogīs, it would not be enough. What about others? Then they would say, "Swāmījī only loves him and not others." So I gave everything, each and every penny, every rupee, to the government. How did we do that? This time, the government said they did not need money directly, or if we gave money, to give a check. The check would go to higher collectors or officials, then to a minister, but we do not know where it ultimately goes. We have given many, many times. You people have helped us very much. We gave to Sri Lanka long ago, to Pakistan during a big flood, to Nepal, to India in different ways. Thank you very much for this. You are doing it with a great heart, a big heart, and I hope we will continue. What we are doing now is going to a big company. They have prepared packets with chapati, flowers, spices, oil, sugar... I said, "Please, no tea or sugar." Without chai, you can remain for one week, one month. There is no need to drink chai. So, no addiction. There are masalas, oils, some potatoes, onions—materials that can last for two or three weeks. We prepared these packets; each cost about 500 to 600 rupees per person. We did a lot, and there is still more to do. If I help someone privately, the whole village or all people will attack me, saying, "Swāmījī, you only like them and not me." Therefore, everything is given to the government office. The government has the list: which village, how many poor people are there. The officers and ministers spoke to me and said, "Swāmījī, of course, we will give to your village also." I said, "Yes, but not me—you have to give. To whom you will give, how you must give." In that case, I am very neutral. I gave in Khaṭū as well. I told one person to go to the government office, and the next day it was in the newspapers. I do not know who I told. One ear is here, and the second is a book, as they say. Anyhow, people came to the Śiva Āśram, Śivāgame, asking, "Please, Swāmījī should give." I said, "We don’t know." I gave to the officers, and they will go with one or two persons, with a list of names and villages, and distribute. It is not only me or us; there are many other people giving, so people are not starving. They are okay. This is how we are developing. We keep a little reserve for something. This is the condition. Two days ago, the government gave a list for education: universities, colleges, and schools. They said every teacher has to be paid, and workers too, including in private institutions. We have a college, a middle school, a primary school, and a kindergarten. We are taking care of so many. Now the teachers, male and female, say, "Please, Swāmījī, pay us still." We said, "Yes, we will see how we can." I told them they are sitting at home and did not work, so we might give 40% or 50%. I do not know how they are now. What to do? I was talking to a disciple in Vienna. Her husband said, "Swāmījī, last year I was in Jordan. My wife was also here, and one who was here liked singing bhajans very much. So he fell in love with the bhajans because of Pushpa, as she is really good, and others like Dhokri? Mangal Mani, and many, many Mani. You see, she is singing. Pushpa is singing, and she is Mani. She has Mani. You see, that is very good." How it is going? We still do not know, but we are expecting that we can let our ashram, college, universities, and our children begin to study again in that way. We will proceed in this manner. Today there was singing, singing bhajan. There will be more bhajans from Madhuram in New Zealand. His bhajans will be given here, and sometimes the flute also. This is all we are doing, and I know our friends are helping. In this way, we are giving money, using it, and receiving it. Every rupee—every paisa—nothing we put on our side anywhere. We are not taking one paisa in Premānanda’s pocket or in Agnidevī’s pocket. I have no pocket. If you put something in my pocket, it goes out. But some people think negatively and say, "You must take money there, you must give that." I said, "Yes, my dear, I will. I am giving." And then I said I will not ask you anymore for this. It will come to Agni Devī. That is all. There is positive and negative. Both are very good. When someone tells it, it is very good because there is a story about Mahātmā Gandhi. He was in the city for some work and came home. His children were playing with a balloon. Gandhi asked his wife, "The children are playing with toys. From where did they get them?" She said, "From your office drawer." He said, "That is not your money, and these are not for your children to play with." The next day, in the newspaper, Gandhijī wrote that Gandhi’s wife took money from the people from the drawer and used it for her own children. So, like this, it is good to know someone is watching. In India, we have a system, and without that system, you cannot proceed. From the very ground level to the high person, they are all standing there. Now you must keep a one- or one-and-a-half-meter distance. Their hands are clean, nothing. Then comes Phulpuri. Phulpuri brings one kilo of butter from the freezer. He passes it to the next, who gives it further, and so on through about thirty officers. At the thirty-first gate, the hands are a little warm. When it came back, it was not one kilo of butter. They say, "Where is that?" They say, "In the name of God, we didn’t take anything. We took it in hand and gave it further." Something remains. What should I do? So I put it on my hands like this, thank you. That is how things go in, how to call it, business. But that is not like our India. Our government is trying very hard, and we are very happy to be here. Many of my disciples in Brazil are suffering from this disease. In Mexico, they are diseased. In Tasmania, my bhaktas are there—Hanuman Giri, Yavashram, and Bhakta—and the disease has come there too. Swamiji has spread so much Yoga in Daily Life. Yesterday, the high members of the Indian Yoga Association brought me because I am with the International Association. So, everyone is doing something. Thank you, my dear, my brothers, my disciples, everyone. If you can do it, but do not say, "Ah, God," again, okay? We give it, isn’t it good? Not like this. It goes from the heart. That is better. It is very good, a very, very good sevā. We do not know in this Kali Yuga when something like this will come again, and how we will go, so that is why it is very nice. We all are saying, "Gurudev, where are we going?" Unīvo deśame jānmā nāmāra karama kalaṅka nahīleśa. Jīvanamukha jīvanamukha tāpako brahmanameśa.
