Examples of yogic power and awareness

Spirituality is one, transcending all nations and forms. Many great yogis and spiritual masters exist in all countries, not only in India. A story illustrates this: a yogi in Czechoslovakia healed a deep cut on a disciple's hand instantly through yogic power. Spiritual power is universal. One must be fully aware and conscious in all moments, like a vigilant driver. The world should be seen as one. Different religions and customs are outer garments; the inner truth is one. All paths ultimately lead to the same Brahman. Respect all dharmas, and your dharma will protect you. Do not be proud of your own country alone. True spirituality is found in conscious awareness and seeing the divine unity in all.

Lodhata lakho praṇām, lakho praṇām, śrī pūjye Dīpā Jaya. Lodhata śrī pūjye Dīpā Jaya. Bhaṇāne vāle, bigaḍī banāne vāle, dātā Yogījī, lāṁ. Śrīpūjā, dīpa, dāyā. Put between, anything between, you can put this: Śrīpūjā, dīpa, dāyā. Lo, Śrīpūjā, dīpa, dāyā. Dātā bhaṇane vāle, dātā bhajans, which our Gurudev, what we all call Holy Gurujī. Many people in the world are calling our Satguru Swami Madhavānandjī, but we are calling Holy Gurujī. So in the whole world, there is no Holy Gurujī, only one. It’s a long time, in 1962, and I was in time, that time it was Czechoslovakia. Now it’s separate, Czech and Slovak. But Czech and Slovak are separated, but very friendly. That is the thing. Hardly you think this is two countries, also like Austria and Germany, they are very friendly together. Everything, of course, countries are different, but there is a very nice... and that time it was Soviet Union, and there was one of my disciples became. In that time, I think in 1937, 1930. So he was a professor and a great person, also a very spiritual person. And at that time, there was also what we now call the Czech Republic, but at that time it was Czechoslovakia, and there was a great spiritual master. And at that time when I was there, he was not there, he had passed away. But the other one, he said to me that he had another yoga teacher, but he is not anymore, and he said, "He is my master," he said. They were together, and they were cutting grass for them in their garden. And that yogī, who is from Prague, his name is Critic. Somehow, he cut his hand with some tools, and blood was coming out like this, so bloody. Mia, he was from... Slovakia, and he became my disciple, and he said, "Some easy that person, yogī, in Czech Republic," and so on, and he said, "Please, can I put you something for your hand?" Vladimir said, he said, "Hey, there’s no problem." He said, "No, but if you cut it." He said, "Okay," and was finished. Yes, I did not see, but he personally said, and many people said, that is the power of the yogīs. It was a cut, blood was running, and he’s working. And Vladimir said, and this he said, and he said, "Okay, if you don’t like," and he really put his hand like this and like that. It was skin, and everything was okay. That is a yogic power, and not this other ḍāmanī running there and making great, great... festivals and this and that is so, guru kripāhi kevalam, śiṣye ke ānanda maṅgalam. So that time it was there, I was, and then I spoke and saw them. From that time and saw the bloody miyā, and he was great, and he said about my... Our holy Gurujī, we call our Sadgurujī, our Swāmijī, Madhvānandjī, Bhagavān, and he said, "Holy Guru Swāmī Madhvānandjī." So he said, "Holy Gurujī." Now it has given other. Once said, "Holy Gurujī." Now in Europe, it is called Holy Gurujī. Yes or no? Yes? Say yes! Yeah. Everybody says yes. If I’m talking, then you should speak like Swami Vivek Phulpurī. So at least you can say something like this. Say this. Yes. Yes. And why did you say this? Because that yogī, he had a wound, and just with one hand, it was everything okay. And for that, we must say like this, yeah. So sometimes people said, "Oh, when Swāmījī is talking, we should not do like this." There is no, um, words that where we do like. That never go away, so sometimes when you tell them, it is something to give motivation to the speakers and others. Do you understand me? That’s it. And now, yes, yes. That means you don’t concentrate. If you can say all at once, "Yes," it means that you have concentration. Or you are sometimes like this, and others said yes. And said, "Yes, it means you are unconscious." One has to be very aware, alert, conscious. When a driver is driving, then the driver is alert and with open eyes, and on every side the driver must be aware. The driver knows. What is the back side happening? Know what is the left side is happening. What is the right side is happening? And what is in the front? That is the best driver. Only with that driver you should drive in the car, and the other is going like this in a moment. And looking like this accident, so aware a yogī needs aware: a driver is driver is a guru. Driver is your God in present. Driver is your life now in the car, aeroplane, bus, truck, etc. Your driver is driving, and it is your life there, and therefore. You should be happy and everything, but you should know that your driver is how he’s driving, or how not. That’s it. So, there are many, many... Many, so don’t think that in Europe there are no yogīs. That’s not true. There are many yogīs. There are many spiritual, great spiritual people in many, in all countries. There have been great people, yes. And, of course, there is a little, little difference. And there is a difference, like this: in Rajasthan and Gujarat it is different, and from Rajasthan and Haridwar it is different. Like this. So the people, they had some kind of, they were not eating meat at all. And there are people who are thinking of yogīs and this. So in this, it is very important how we are talking. We should see the world, the whole world we see as one. And so the British aeroplanes and this aeroplane, they call one way, one, I think, one world, yes, one world. So, this is all Australia and America, Britain, and these and that. These are called one world. They are taking only one world. And so, we are all in the one world. And our Gurujī Śiva said, "One in all and all in one." That is the slogan of our holy Gurujī. So, who is that? Now, you see, one, two, three, then she’s thinking first, and she’s also after, so you are not aware. She’s not conscious, she’s not conscious, that’s not conscious, and others are completely, how do you call, yes, that means that. You cannot understand, and you are not there. We have to be there. And you know, when you are sitting and a little tiny red ant bites you in your buttock, ah, you say, "Oh!" So similarly, we should be all aware, conscious about this. So we cannot say that only in India, yes. In India, it is a great India. It is a holy India, India’s mother, and many, many things, and many yogīs are there. But it means not that in other countries there is not. In Mexico, there is. It was the, what we call, the American American Indians. American Indians, they have also very nice ceremonies, and in ceremony there’s no meat, no alcohol, nothing. They are great, but same time, my dear, I know that India is great, but I will say also my Europe and my country is also very... great, yes. And why I want to tell you something today? The Indians will be saying, "Swamiji is not for us." But in my lecture, he has only two persons sitting, Indians. The rest all are international. How many countries are here? There are so many. I have to say these. Two countries, of course, and this, so I am sorry to say that Indians—Indians and the Hindus—Indians always said the Europeans are not religious people; they have no spirituality, they don’t believe in God, etc. But these people... Who is in India? They have not seen Europe, and when they are coming, of course, a little different behavior. Behavior means not bad, that European have other different cloth, like this different, and so on, but I will say. There is no one in India who is so spiritual towards a religion. In Europe, yeah, about the whole Christian, it is all the Muslims also. What are you thinking, that we are very spirituals here? We are very spiritual only for... something, when the time of the birth, marriage, and they are, you understand, which are there, or they have so much dualities, and therefore, which many people are suffering, they lost it, and therefore they have to get a confidence in your God. And we know that in India. We have one God only, and all this is one, one in all and all in one. So one is Parabrahman, Paramātmā, and then there are all: Kṛṣṇa, Rāma, Buddha, and other many, many, many choice avatars, twenty-four incarnations, and Śiva and Viṣṇu and that all, but all in one. In which way will you say we are one? I will say we are also here as one. It doesn’t matter if you are from Korea, or you are from the Czech Republic, or you are from Europe, anywhere, or other countries. But we all drink one water, drum water. We drink that water. Doesn’t matter water is from your country, my country, that country, from the ocean. Water is the water in oneness. And so, I’m talking differently today. And so, to wear one kind of cloth—some are with the black, they have black cloth—Christians. Mostly they have black, but that Christian black means that they are sorry about Jesus. When they go to the funerals, then all they have black, and so on. Others have also different, but also they have white dress, like what they call the Christians. There are many, many Christians. You don’t know the Christians. Religious, different kinds of religious people are more than Hindus. Go to America and you will see how many Christians, different kinds of Christians, there are. Uh, worshiping, but finally they are coming to one as a god, is Jesus? Or they have another one, what they call the Jewish? And the Jewish is that? And, of course, the Christian, the Jesus was from the, from where? The village of the... Our Haripurichis, so there Jesus was there from there, but they don’t accept that. That’s why they all, and so that the Jesus worshiping is a people from other part, and the Jewish, they have their own, and they will not believe this. So, like we call, we, we... We respect the Brahman. Brahman, not a Brahmin. Brahmin is different, and Brahman is different. So we all believe the Brahman, but someone doesn’t believe in Jesus, or someone doesn’t believe the Christians, or doesn’t believe the Buddha. Some don’t believe in Krishna, and some, this is the complications. But those who understand, they will see in one day, finally, the Brahman. And so, that kind, we should not, you know, that many, many spiritual people in, in the, what we call them. Which country is a big country? The biggest country is Russia, and in Russia there are many, many spiritual masters, like gurus, and they have a lot, a lot of energy and power. They can do anything, and they don’t see me. We will do something, talk nicely, give the lecture, thought, and be the people, the disciples, this and that and this and that. But we are not, we are, I mean, not European. I mean, we all others are different. So we are coming here when we throw the seeds, so that the birds, what we call the kabutra, the pigeons, so we throw the seeds and pigeons are coming and all, and we are happy and we are making. But anything happens, little all peasants will run away like this, and where are all peasants? And the seeds are there. So that is one story in our Mahāprabhujī, Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī’s. And you have everybody’s in Holy Gurujī’s, uh, Mahāprabhujī’s book, Bhagwan Deep Narayan Mahāprabhujī’s book, Līlāmṛt. And so, when Mahāprabhujī, he was about three, four, five days or months or years, and he went to the school, his father brought him. And then he was there, and then, you know the story—one story about this, because Mahāprabhujī had that knowledge. And then Mahāprabhujī, he said, "The teacher said, ’I teach you only one, but today is two letters tomorrow.’" So this also, what? Then "om" and so on. So Mahāprabhujī told him about this letter, what it means. This is the a, a, and u. So that is what you know, Mahāprabhujī’s. But then Mahāprabhujī said, "I will teach, and I will teach the children also." But my knowledge, and that I cannot need this, what is so? He said, "I will go and graze the cows," and so on. But he was sitting in the village of Mahāprabhujī’s birth. It is about, let’s say, about 80 or 90 houses. Maybe I don’t think there was a house. 100. But say little dog. And there Mahāprabhujī sat under a tree, that nice tree. We have this khejarī, and we have these fruits. We took it. So Gurujī, Mahāprabhujī comes, sits, and is singing bhajans or something and saying, and many, many... Cows were coming, and people were very happy that Gurujī Mahāprabhujī was taking care of the cows. So the cows were there, and then one hunter came, a Muslim; his name and everything is there. It is not a joke or something like that, so one man came and he had a gun and he wanted to kill a bird, a crow, and Mahāprabhujī said, "Why are you doing this?" He said, "No, I want to hunt that for my son." Holy Guruji, Mahāprabhujī, said, "No, don’t kill these animals, innocent animals." He said, "No, no, they are for us to hunt and eat." Gurujī said, "Don’t hunt, let it be." He said, "But I want to hunt." Mahāprabhujī said, "Okay, go ahead. You can’t kill this bird." He said, "I will do immediately, Swami, if you don’t allow." Mahāprabhujī was a little child, about ten years or so, or eight, or something like this. So he took his gun and he shot. How do you call? The bullet went out, but the bird is sitting there and he was eating some fruit on it. Nothing. He said, "And what is that?" He said, "Oh, I take the second." He did the second, he still not. Mahāprabhujī said, "When the gun sound is, that all birds runs away. Why not this?" So twice, or I don’t know, three times, but twice he did. Then Holī Gurujī said, "Jisko rake saiyan, jisko rake saiyan, maar sake nahi koi." Whom the gods save, no one can do anything. Now Mahāprabhujī said, "You cannot." And from today on, don’t hunt anything. And he said, "I will not hunt anything." And Mahāprabhujī said to the crow, "Go." The crow. When that is the power of God in the human body, and in human bodies, we don’t know who is in whom. Many people are... they are for their, their, their... Love for their money, for their, how do you call, their surface, and when it is not there, they will go away. And so are the people in the world: "I will go to this world, I will go to that, to that temple, that temple, that mosque, that..." Church, etc., etc., we should go everywhere, why not? But we should have that hold, our dharma, dharma urakṣita, urakṣita dharma, urakṣita, urakṣita. If you will respect your dharma, then dharma will also respect you, and therefore, only giving a lecture and going away, and how we will say? At the end of the lecture, what are you saying? At the end of the lecture, nothing is lost. You should say, "Yeah, no, it was not enough. That wasn’t still. The crow is sitting there. Oh, that will not go. That will go." No, this is because if you are telling something. What is talking? Lecture, you should be very silent. And if you are very silent, then you know you are each and every word. You are having, like we call, the pearls. Gurujī said it is one pearl, and this pearl we are getting through the very... nice thread, and that thread is what we call, no, no, from this one, like silk, the silk. So that each and every pole goes through the poles and through this. And if you are looking there and you are not concentrating, then there is a knot. And if it is a knot, the silk doesn’t go further. And therefore, our mala, our concentration, it should be nice, and it doesn’t make a noise. And so, when there is something done or something, then, once everybody said yes, then everybody else, uh-huh, what? Did he say, "Yeah"? Then, "Oh, yes, they are unconscious people in the satsaṅg." Either there is... so, one should be alert, and that means we are one. So, water is water. It doesn’t matter if this water is from Africa or water from China. Or water from Mexico, or water from the Jadan Ashram from our well, beautiful water. Or in Khattub Ashram, Siddhapīṭha, there is beautiful water. Everywhere in the Danube, very beautiful Danube, very good. And the Ganges, long Ganges, coming from the Himalaya and to the Hind Mahāsāgar. Till that Ganga, but in Europe, in Vienna, Austria, etc., it’s called the Danube. And the Danube is 80 kilometers longer than the Ganga. 80 kilometers, that in Vienna you can say, is 80 kilometers longer than the Gaṅgā. Why not? Why are they longer? Because they are still running. And Gaṅgā said, "Ahaha, come on, my dear. Who?" That they knew. Come on, quickly. So then Gaṅgā comes, Yamunā comes, Sarasvatī comes. All are coming. And many, many. Water is water. Dharma is dharma. Human is human. Yogī is a yogī. Un-yogīs, un-yogīs. There are many people with different qualities. So on, in the same way, do not be proud about yourself, and don’t be proud of your country only. And everywhere we are proud, of course, because India is that holy mother of all, definitely. There is this, but we don’t talk. About the people we are talking about, that earth, and in that earth, that is energy, and everything is there. Therefore, practice your yoga science and the practice of your Gurujī’s, and that sometimes will not be good, sometimes will be very good. This is some, like your mother. The mother loves her child very much, and the father does too. And sometimes mother gives also, on a trip, a slip, yes, chapati. And that’s why, you know, from where you come, "chapati." The chapati is in Europe, "chapati," chap like this, and that’s why we have chapati. So don’t say "chapati," please. "Taro tea." So at least in India, you should not say that. Chapati, chapati means talking. Chapat on here, and second, Jesus said, "That’s not enough, give your cheek, other side." And then again you say, then you understand. I don’t want chapati. I want to have a roti, laddu, bati, and what we have, spaghetti. These are the good ones. And what is that other one? Pizza. But not that pizza. The pīcā is every pīcā. That’s the thing. Picha means there is something. So look, they have in Europe so many good foods, you can’t imagine. My God, there is something so sweet and so sweet and so... Yogis don’t want to eat too much now, but when that comes, he said, "Yes," and there is a very, very nice name I will tell you, and everyone’s mouth will have the water, you know? And what is that? Apple strudel is not so good. It’s very good, but something more. What? Creme sneed. And when the creme sneed comes like this, yogīs will not cut late, but he will cut deep. That is life. Food is a good food. Indians like jalebi, Indians like laddu, Indians like kheer. And Europe have the same thing, but a different taste inside, so that’s good. So we will get tomorrow, and this, no chapati. Don’t give the chapati. Tell, "Can you give me chapati?" Then said, "Yes, okay." Premanājī, yeah, if someone... Said, "Can I have chapati?" You said, "Okay, so which side?" So, roti, roti. And in India and Europe, don’t say "roti," because Indians, they cannot say "roti." Indians and Europeans are saying "roti," and "roti" means a woman is crying, "roti." So, "roti" crying. Woman crying, please don’t cry, because you are going as roti, yes. So you should say chapati, but to us, we said roti. So, time to time, we should all learn in our ashram that roti, laḍḍū, dāl, bāṭī, etc. But our dāl, bāṭī, and laḍḍū is different. So we will prepare now. So for what? Ten days, no chapati for Europeans. Nice European food, David. Mmm. So, music? Can we have to have a half hour before lunch so that we can enjoy already? Okay, that’s it. And Indians, they will input very good. They like it, chilies and days, and that roti was okay, not chapati, all right. So this is what we are telling, that my, what I want to say, I through world I went, and I see, and I respect very every country. For them, their country is their holy mother. And people are also, therefore we should know. And we, if we don’t, then we find in India that many who are Hindus, they are completely split. They are split very much. And that’s why they are suffering very, very much. Of course, Indians are listening, and Europeans are listening, Australians, everyone. Why need? I’m not telling wrong. It is like that. So in Russia, there are many, many great saints. Really, many, many, what we call miracles. And many, many have healed the illness very, very much. It is. And it is, yes. And so also in other countries, my dear. And of course, in India, everyone is a healer. In India, everyone is a healer. He can heal everything. First, he will heal the chapati after second. So, everybody has power, everyone has thinking, but we should think of God and let our Mahāprabhujī’s, our holy Gurujī’s, Devapurījī’s, Alagpurījī’s, all our gurus, many, many millions of gurus, and you know, millions they are. Śaṅkarācāryas, there is not only one Śaṅkarācāryajī. All we are sitting here, there, you know, Śaṅkarācāryajī, yes. And he from there, we are all Śaṅkarācāryajī, many, many... So, my dear, spirituality is there. Learn here and now. You should teach the others also. So now the Europeans will have not any Indian fruit or vegetables and eating. Now there are two ladies, very, very nice. And they will, every will, they will make something very nice. And we will invite yogīs also. He will come quickly for lunch, okay? Until before you are not here, he will be there. Okay, what is it called? Gratitude. Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya. Oṁ Har Har Bho Namaḥ Śivāya. Oṁ Har Har Śivāya Namaḥ Śivāya. Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya Namaḥ Śivāya.

But it is said, "Kesh Nam Shepan, Kesh Nam Shepan." And it is a reality, you can—anyone can go from anywhere—Ganga’s water, which is from the deep of the Ganga, you take that water, and you will see how many years that water will not be... how to say? That is the spirituality or speciality of it. Mata Gangājī Gaṅgā Māyākī Hari Om. One bhajan, nice. One or two, why not? I am... how long I talk? Exactly one hour I have to speak. Great, great that I can. Om Bhai Shri Trayam Bhagavān Kī Jai, Satguru Dev Kī Jai, Jag Jag... Pyare Satguru Toya Jagave Re, suno kai samaye bhajan ko avasar kyo ga maave re, jaga jaga...
