Do not be afraid
A message for the challenging times of the Kali Yuga.
Protection begins with oneself, like securing your oxygen mask first to help others. We pray for blessings, peace, and harmony for all. True peace within creates peace for everyone. In this period, avoid certain forceful breathing practices; use purification like neti. Guard your thoughts and speech, for negativity and backbiting return as karma. Do not harbor anger or hatred, as these internal faults are worse than external wrongs. A story illustrates that condemning another in anger makes you worse than the perceived wrongdoer. Spiritual practice is essential, but progress is fragile; like drawing water from a deep well, one can lose everything near the top and must begin again. Be like the wood that floats, supported by the water that gave it life, and help others rise rather than sink. Our science is limited; do not fear, but be strong and uplifted through faith and practice. Share and purify in the spirit of oneness.
"‘Ham sab dās Prabhu śaraṇ parāyaṇ’ means we all together are in prayer to thee."
"If someone gives a slap on your face, then show him the next face."
