We had a nice breakfast, and they served coffee. She said, "No, I want to have the coffee, not tea. Coffee, yeah." There was the sound of a bell, and she had tears. Her husband said, "Darling, why are you feeling unhappy?" The tears were there. He asked, "What happened? Did you miss something? Was your breakfast not good?" She said, "No. I am missing something." We had already been traveling for a year and a half. Then I saw a little clock. She said, "I miss the European clock from the church or from a castle. Such a clock can only be in Europe." I also heard this clock, and I liked it. You know the European tradition and its beautiful culture, and you are still keeping our culture here. The culture keeps the people. The culture keeps humanity, so still, thanks to God. In Europe, there are many traditions, from Christmas till Christmas. This is very good. Do you accept what I tell you? This is our ancient culture. In some countries, they are closing the churches. In New Zealand, someone wanted to sell one church for only one dollar. Really? They asked me and sent me a telephone message. I said, "Well, I don’t know why you sell it for only one dollar." They said no one can keep this building as it is; there is no one even to clean the whole structure. But why not? Because people lost the tradition of the religions. A proč? They are mostly all from this part of the world. The British went there. So the best culture, a very good culture in Europe. Sometimes people in other countries, and in India also, say, "The Europeans, they call them Videshī always. They have no culture and no religion." This I say to them. I have been here for 52 years; I am more here than in India. I tell you that the culture in Europe—Europe is a beautiful culture, beautiful vegetation, the rivers, hills, the snow, ice, many things. So we should be happy. About 30, or 50, or 20, or 25 years ago, when the different police was dead—what we call the different religion—so many people from Czechoslovakia, many people from Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, they were all communists. In some way, it was very good. This land is yours, not someone else’s. So everyone thinks. Should I tell you this? I didn’t want to think. I don’t know what it is, why I’m talking like this. But it is something. I was driving long ago, in 1973, ’74, ’75. Many of you were not born, so you are my children. My disciples here have five generations, really. One couple got blessings from me. They became my disciples, and their children, and the parents said, "You should also get from Swamījī the blessings and become disciples." This was two generations, and then they had little children. They are already working very hard; they have been there about 45 years. This is the third generation. The fourth generation was in kindergarten. Now, their kindergarten children are also my disciples. So, my dear, I have five generations here. No? This is the paramparā of yoga in daily life and all spiritualities. That kind of knowledge and yoga in daily life, equally, we are keeping them. I don’t take someone’s condition or religion; take it away, take this and that. No, no. Keep it all. I think you have some songs, hymns from your countries. Maybe it is like that. It was Christmas day, with very much snow and cold. That time was the Second World War. Some warriors were in the forest and anywhere. In this country, we call that Czechoslovakia. One warrior was somehow injured, and he was in the snow and in the forest. It was Christmas, nobody was there, and he was so cold, freezing. It is said, I think it is said, "Where is my home?" Yes, that is it. Tak, prosím, it is said, yes, Swāmījī. That is the love for your house, your village, your friends. We need this back again. At that time, some people tried to go to other countries, but they didn’t let them go out. But you know, some people try very hard to go out—to Australia, New Zealand, America, anywhere. They were happy. They said, "We are going." It was like this; some people feel like that. What I said is that now they come back. Many are still there, but they say, "We are really missing our home." At that time, I was driving with someone, and there was corn. These people can take the corn and take it with them. I also asked, "Can we also take it?" We took a lot of it in our car. I said, "Oh God, will they see? Someone will see, and they will give us punishment." He said, "We don’t have any punishment, because it is no one’s farm. It is our farm. It’s everyone’s." That’s it. It was very beautiful; you could go, walk, feel. That was beautiful, and now it’s also beautiful. But you can’t take anything out from your farm. Anyhow, so I’m talking from how we are still, yeah? Many people were in London, and they all came back. Of course, unfortunately, our money is little, and then what we call this? Income. Income. Economy. So our economy here is a little bit slower. But even I said, "I will eat half a chapati, but in my house." You are all here, and I adore you. You are good people, cultural people. Those who have not seen Europe cannot see anything. Of course, India is also great. It has Indian culture. Many go, see, and like it. It’s good we go for one year, half a year, two years. But when you come back to the Czech Republic, the first thing you want is nice bread and butter. And in Slovakia, that is what they have, a halušky. Here, "Hey, honey, where are my hens?" This is happiness. Why do I say you do this today? Because all of us, we are blocked like this. We don’t know if you are smiling or you are sad. We all said, "Oh God, sometimes it’s communist time, don’t speak." It was like this yesterday and last week also. I said we are all really very sad; we are, it is yours. Many things are now, nearly four months, our economy fell down. We were closed in the house, like it was in communist time, but not like that. So now we should be happy, and that’s why we should laugh. You know, last night, what they did all? There’s someone who said he tried to make happiness. Do you think you can? Can you open this again? Our mouth? So, who will start? Who will start? Swami was good, very good. Very good, very good, very good. Yes, because we are. It doesn’t matter what happens, we are happy. Yes, we are happy, and we have everything. Now we see our beautiful trees. You know, this tree where you are has this, and I think you should show this tree’s trunk. Yeah, yeah, then slowly show the whole tree, oh my God. You know, this tree is our grand, grand,... grandfather’s. We are the children of this grandfather, and this grandfather is giving nice shadow, good, nice wind, very nice warm, cold, snow, the rain. This is great. So I always touch one of the trees every morning, and you should also, before you go. Touch this tree. It is the holiest of the holy, and we are also like this. That’s it. So open your heart and say, "That was good, our grandfather. Hello, grandfather, how are you?" How are you? Very good, thank you. This grandfather said, "Oh, my children are like mushrooms coming up." This is how we have yoga in daily life. It has been many, many thousand times, beautiful things I experienced here in this country, the whole of Europe, of course, and also in Austria, Australia, China, and many other countries. They are also very good. Their culture is a culture. That’s why culture is our cradle. Indians said India is a culture, a cradle of so many cultures we have, and that’s called, then, India is a culture, a cradle of cradle. That’s right. So be happy, be relaxed, be good. Yes, but of course, sometimes when somebody is coming close to you, then you should do it like this. There are some too close. When we are one meter, or one and a half, or two meters away, then this Corona, this Corona has no power to come a close distance to you. Till there disappears, but when you come close, then he said, "Oh, my child." Then there is a problem. So either we should go a little distance, we know, and we are sure, we are all negative. Now we are negative. In one company, there were about 100 people working, and there was one man. Everyone was telling him, "You are a negative man." Negative. Nobody said you are positive. He had some problem, and he went to the doctor. He has cancer. The doctor said, "We are sorry. Unfortunately, it is, you are, how to say, positive." He said, "Oh, I am positive now." He was coming to his colleagues and said, "Ha, ha... Come, come... Oh, I am positive." They said, "What is that?" The doctor said, "I am positive." No, no, you should be negative today. So that is it. Negative and positive. Medicals give us the negative and the positive, so they should tell us positive, but this is different because that is negative. So, positive and negative, we are turning now. We are here. We were practicing; you had a nice practice this morning, and many were meditating, then two times. What was it? First, they all came and meditated. Second, after exactly seven minutes, seven to twelve minutes, all meditations look to me a little bit. Then, in our anuṣṭhāna, we said the prāṇāyāma technique: first, with the left nostril inhale, 20 minutes, and after 20 minutes, left nostril and from the left nostril. Fifteen times inhalation and exhalation, and the hand is going like this. Really. Few are there. I am in another room of our building, and you are in another building. But I was closing my eyes, and then I said, I was doing like this in my bed. I said, "What are you doing? Where are you going?" "I just go to my friend." "To where?" "In Anuṣṭhāna." So was the connection. This was the connection between the Master and the students. Very good. What means "Hara Gaṅgā"? What means that the river Gaṅgā is flowing? Holy Gaṅgā, that’s it. This month is the day of Śiva, and this is a very spiritual month. In India it is mostly called monsoon. Now is Shiva’s day, and tomorrow is middle day. It means the dark moon. The moon is not visible. Tomorrow is Monday, and that Amāvasyā means the moon is not visible, and it is the month of Śiva. For us, on that day at midnight, the next day our Devapurījī went to samādhi. Unfortunately, I was born the next day also. That is a very, very holy day. When Devapurījī went to Brahmaloka, to Śiva, to Śivaloka, and next, on the third day, it is Pārvatī. It is Pārvatī’s festival. You cannot imagine in Jaipur, so beautiful. There is a festival with all decorations, elephants, camels, horses, and many, many people with different colors and clothes. All men and women have nice dress. That is a so beautiful day, and so it goes like that. Many, many people come from around the world. Jaipur is the city of traditions, so the government prepares a nice place for foreigners so they can sit somewhere and see the procession. That day, you should know, go to Jaipur one time; you should go. On that day, evening, here, that was, yes, yes... yes. So my father said, and my Gurujī said, everything. We are here, and it is also beautiful. We have many, many processions here. In Europe, mostly in some parts, they are when all harvest is finished. I think in August or September, there is a festival. In Austria, it’s very beautiful. You should see that also. You know, there is also that day that is about Rāvaṇa and Rāma. Before then, about this Rāma, he killed Rāvaṇa, and before that, there is one big, big tree in the middle of the city that is like a Rāvaṇa, and people put... A lot of things occur on the day of Daśaharā, and then they burn the Rāvaṇa, many, many big ones. You see, humans should have beautiful generations in our generation to enjoy our life in different kinds of months, very cold, hot, warm, etc. This is mostly when one season changes to the next season. Why, at the end of this, our particular season, now what do we do? Now it’s harvested. Now there’s nothing. It’s cold or hot, but nothing there. The farmers go in the house. What are they doing in the house? Whole day, whole day eating pivo, pivo. He tells his wife and says to his wife, "Mrs. Mrs.... Mrs. Mrs.... Mrs. Mrs... the money and so many." So, what do they do? That time is a festival. So again, we are happy. This is how humans are making happy. At that time, they are mostly making religious festivals. Many people don’t believe in God. So we make traditional festivals, and everyone likes them. For yoga, we also have, you know, we have Rakṣā Bandhan, here we have Guru Pūrṇimā, we have Śiva Pūrṇimā, etc. So we say, not only stretching the hands... and your teacher said, and one more. And one more, and stretch your leg up. Twist to this side. Oh, God. So yoga is, but not only that. This is also yoga. What is this? Happiness, joy, love, peace, harmony, oneness. What do you want more? And so is what we are… Of course, we are talking about traditions of the book, holy books from there, and this holy book. Yes, there are, but what to do? So we shall make something new. That we made it, and we are doing it. So, yoga, and you know what happens? It was cold and everything. To see us, not we saw Him. Therefore, it is said, number three. Then comes the fourth. In the fourth was this bhajan today. It is from Śrī Mahāprabhujī. Rāmakā, Rāmakā Satguru, Sandeśo. That is the name of God, yeah, yeah. So it is already done, it is very good. So, but I can’t... yeah, that’s very good, but it’s black again, yes. The glory, it is a Rāmakā Sandeśa that I am... I got the message from someone. That God Rāma is coming, so I am so happy, very nice, feeling of the pleasant. This is, I like how happiness to my Gurudev. What? How? My Gurudev has come, and I adore that. Sadhguru is coming to my place, and Jñāna Dhan Barsahuri and I will give all my treasures and everything over to the Gurujī. Those haṁsas, you know who is a haṁsa? A swan. The swans were sleeping, but immediately when Gurudev came, they woke up and felt the ānanda. I am so happy that I am welcoming my Gurudevā. So, hiṅglu dhorīyak vīzu, so I give a very nice kind of my tilaka and pūjā. You know, hinglas is something like we put in our evening when more mosquitoes were; we put a little kind of gurgle. That smells beautiful everywhere. I put a nice āsana for my Gurudeva. I offer my whole self, my body, my mind, my prāṇa, everything. I bring the mala of the garland of the flowers, and that is also from the... from the, from the,... from the... from the, from the,... from the... from the, from the,... from the... from the, from the, from the, from the, from the... from the, from the, from the, from the, from the, from... the other Malayalam pearls, and also the pearls, and giving very nice eating, my God. Oh, nice, sweet. That’s everything, very sweet. That’s why Gurujī always has sugar, very much sugar. What is that? And also, after that, I am making nice milk kheer, so there are many things here, okay? The highest of the highest of God as a human, Puruṣottam. Swamiji Shrīdev Purījī Antar Jāmī, "My heart is in my heart." Mahāprabhujī said, Swamiji Deep said, I say you, O my all bhaktas, come and together we shall sing this bhajan. So every bhajan has very nice meanings. There is one of Mahāprabhujī’s Līlā Amṛta. Now some person is a little bit writing inside, making more language. It will be like that: He is a very good person; he is a good writer, and this. But he asks for a lot of money. I said, "Well, but I’m not giving you so much." First, he said, only a little from our Prabhupāda, Mahāprabhujī was about 107,000 euros. 1,600 or 1,700 euros, only Holy Gurujī’s or Mahāprabhujī’s part. Then it’s from Devapurījī’s, then Holy Gurujī’s, then my Gurujī. Who is your Guruji? My Guruji. But I said I was angry because he put so many poems and gave his name inside. I said, "No, no, that has to be taken out. Otherwise, why should I pay you? Why do you write so many things? It is not necessary." But what to say to you? It will be very, very nice. Then it will go to English; that Līlā Amṛt will be great. All our bhajans will be translated into English. So that will be it, okay? This is all in our program, and this is Devapurījī’s power that we have the sun shining. This is how things are like this. It is said, I think, in English they say it. There is something said: God, we and God. Do you know that someone? What? What? We, man, is a proposal, and God is disposal. That’s it. So it is, from there I said, "I will go and talk now." This, then I came there, I said, "Okay," and then I said, "I don’t know what I want to talk." There was a bhajana, I said, "Okay, that I will do." When I looked at your face, I lost everything. Then we became one. So many lectures are good lectures. Many, of course, we are learning many things, but this is what we are. What I wanted to tell you this, like I say, the glory of Europe and people, everyone, you have a nice house or one village, so you are, you are. This Czech, Czech is for us, for India is one little district. An Indian district is like our family. Similarly, the Hungarian. And so, and then we are whole together, like India and Europe. But we are all one. It’s good that you can work easily with these little countries. Big, big, big countries are not so easy, still. There was one minister or something from Austria, and he said to Indira Gandhi, "Such a big country, what do they call them? How can you control this whole country as it is? What is it? We are a democracy." No one can control that democracy in such big countries. So Indira Gandhi said, "We have still place, we take Austria." That was the joke of these people there. Thank you very much, and I’m always very punctual.
