Protect is in protect

A global crisis prompts reflection on humanity's unique spiritual and physical condition. Why does a pandemic target humans specifically, across all nations and beliefs? All creatures possess the same fundamental layers of existence, yet humans alone wield the power of action beyond mere survival. This century's afflictions stem from human karma. The widespread turn to meat consumption after the world wars, increased alcohol use, and the industrial production of food have introduced disease. Consuming such nourishment stores illness within, which may emerge later in life. Even vegetables now contain chemicals. The suffering we see originates from human actions, creating a poisoned environment. This is the age of Kali Yuga, where negative forces are prominent. True religion is self-control, and real yoga extends far beyond physical postures. We must first ensure our own spiritual protection to safeguard others. A great conjunction of planets is occurring, a rare celestial event. The coming Satya Yuga is governed by a divine timescale vastly different from our own. Ultimately, all paths return to the yogic essence within.

"Slowly, attacks come. It is like a beautiful, big tree: one or two bugs enter, then slowly worms multiply and eat the entire trunk from within."

"Practice yoga and daily life, and sleep very peacefully. Look inside; see what will be good. You will be protected."

Oṁ asato mā sadgamaya, tamaso mā jyotirgamaya, mṛtyormā amṛtaṁ gamaya. Sarveṣāṁ svastirbhavatu, sarveṣāṁ śāntirbhavatu, sarveṣāṁ maṅgalaṁ bhavatu. Lokaḥ samastāḥ sukhino bhavantu. Oṁ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ. Pūrṇamadaṁ Pūrṇamidaṁ Pūrṇāt Pūrṇasya Pūrṇamādāya Pūrṇo Śāntiḥ Oṁ Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ... Om Alakpurījī Mahādev Kī Jai, Devādhī Dev Deveśvar Mahādev Kī Jai, Ārādhya Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī Kī Jai, Indra Dharma Samrāṭ Satguru Svāmī Madhvanjī Bhagavān Kī Jai, Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī Jai. Om Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ. Good morning, all dear sisters and brothers. We are very happy that many great gurus and divine saints are now awakened, and we all must come forward. In this rush, beyond countries, religions, or paths, a question arises: Why did this coronavirus choose only humans? Other creatures also live. They possess the same elements, the same bodies, minds, prāṇas, and Kośas—Annamaya Kośa, Prāṇamaya Kośa, Manomaya Kośa, Vijñānamaya Kośa, and Ānandamaya Kośa. God has given this not only to humans but to all creatures, even tiny ones like ants. They have knowledge, but lack the power to act beyond living and drinking. Our Earth is a living being, our mother and father, the source of all life. So why this attack only on humans, across all peoples, countries, languages, and beliefs? Ale proč? According to a true yogī, a real guru, students come to learn yoga. This is not merely āsanas, prāṇāyāma, or relaxation; it is far more. Why this attack in this century? There have always been diseases for cows, chickens, and other animals. But now, a very strong one targets only humans. You have often heard in my lectures: do not kill or eat other creatures. Help them, love them, feed them, but do not eat them. Before the First World War, people rarely ate meat. Between the wars, human minds changed greatly. During the wars, people had nothing to eat. Some hid in the earth with their children. I was told that in Europe during the Second World War, when soldiers—often Americans or others—left restaurant tables, people would rush in and eat whatever remained, including meat. After the war, poverty persisted. People began to think they needed money. To get more, they started killing animals for meat. Slowly, the idea took hold that we cannot live without meat. But this is not true. There are so many other things to eat: vegetables, grains, and mother cow’s milk. Yet when she is old, they kill and eat that very mother. In this century, we have performed many such karmas. Alcohol consumption increased. The production of chickens and eggs, once rare, has expanded. Now, eggs are often diseased inside. How many people have cancer? This is due to what we are nourishing ourselves with. Slowly, attacks come. It is like a beautiful, big tree: one or two bugs enter, then slowly worms multiply and eat the entire trunk from within. That is cancer. Outside, it looks good. Similarly, humans now have cancer because of the food we eat. Many may begin yoga, but still get cancer at life’s end. Why? Before adopting the thought, "I want to be vegetarian," they were eating everything, and that remains in the body. With good food, we may suppress the disease, but when we become weak, it emerges like a sleeping cobra. When it awakens, it is too late. These diseases manifest in this life. We must understand what we have done, though we cannot change the past. Now, even the good vegetables and food humans eat contain chemicals. Worldwide, different chemicals are used to increase production. Sometimes, excess is thrown away. And what of meat? How long is it stored? I do not know what is true. Before the communists left, they had one system; now there is another. Our people were always good, but at a certain time, it was said that meat was transferred from Czechoslovakia. The Americans did not want it, claiming it was diseased, so it was sent back. Much of this meat was not edible, but it was sold. People did not know if it was old or not, and disease entered Europe. Wherever we look or touch, we do not know what vaccines or substances are present. Now, our governments and international bodies want to provide disease-cleaning vaccines. All governments are trying, but no one is being forced. If you do not wish to take these injections, it is your choice. This is all the doing of humans. You will not see such suffering in animals living freely in forests. However, house pets can develop the same diseases as humans. We love our pets, perhaps more than family members, yet we go shopping and bring back meat. The mind has been conditioned: "We will eat meat, we will eat meat." Now, this disease has grown more and more since 2019 and into 2020. We do not know what comes next, but it originates from human actions. We should try to clean everything, to have a good Earth, a good Mother Earth, good vegetables, and a good life. Yet people still do not understand. Some store many eggs in cool places. How old are these eggs? People eat them. This is Kali Yuga, a time when more negative energy emerges. Others, like you all, do not eat meat, do not fight; you remain holy people. There is a fight between angels and devils everywhere. First, it is said: protect is protect into the protect. Our protection is the first protection for others' protection. When boarding an airplane, the instruction is: "Please fasten your seatbelt; put the oxygen mask on yourself first, then on your child." Similarly, we elderly must ensure our own safety first, then that of our children. If something happens to the mother, she cannot help the child. Regarding yoga—many have sent me messages about practitioners in three categories: those who practice well every day, those in the middle who practice sometimes, and those who practice only occasionally. We must know how many real yogīs are practicing. This is not a religion. Religion is our very self; it is controlling ourselves. This depends on the individual. In this century, many things have happened and are still happening. It is said that about two weeks ago, or now again, Satya Yuga is coming. In that time, Śiva must take matters in hand. But this will not be next year. Our day and Śiva’s day are vastly different. We can close our eyes and say, "I am meditating," and feel we are progressing, but for beings like Śiva, Brahmā, or Viṣṇu, it takes many ages or lives for the next step. Yet they must do it. There are many good things and very hard things. But it is said. I once wrote a slogan I had forgotten: "Protect is in the protects." I have spoken many times but forgot this word. Now is the time for us to be alert. The entire globe, ocean, air, and fire—we are in the middle of it all. Therefore, we know that sooner or later, we will die. But what happens then? You can contemplate this. We are all looking toward that death, hoping to reach God or the highest state. You should listen to what I have been sharing. First was the Mahābhārata, then the Rāmāyaṇa, and now the Mahāśivapurāṇa. It is presented very nicely and interestingly, with both negative and positive sounds—the holies and those who want to kill them, the Rākṣasas. This evening, I watched for about an hour and a half. I had seen the beginning before, but not with such concentration. Now we have these days, and it is Christmas. Around the world, many Christians worship Jesus, his mother, and the Father. The Father—I do not know how, but the feeling is there—and the Holy Mother, you know more than I. We are in this Kali Yuga, and there is much fighting about which god is real. But finally, everything will come again to a yogī. When we pray, it is there, yet we often do not understand what we should do. In these days, this one week more, Jesus is coming. Children are very happy. They wait, and are told, "You were a little late. Jesus was here, and he had to go to every house, so he left something for you and went on." This is a dream and a play for us, for he cannot go to every house physically. Yet he comes to each one individually. We will read our books about Christmas and the Holy Book. It is written, and we should listen properly, that Jesus did not eat meat. Only if you are starving and dying with no food, to survive as a human, might you eat meat; otherwise, not. On this day, I will be with you everywhere you are, on Christmas day, with your whole families, especially the little children. Practice on your path. Our Diwali and other festivals also celebrate the living soul. Very soon, time is coming. You can give your friends, brothers, and sisters some sweets or something. Live a good life, be in a good life, and pray to God. One came and opened our eyes. Why? Because it is said, "I am with thee, O my Lord," and my body is with you. There is a nest of my body, but your child is in it. That bird, and there is your house. In this way, we should come together. There are many good religions. Everyone respects them, and they are doing their best. But all in all, it is one. It is like a single seed planted in the earth. It will sprout into a good, big tree with blossoms and green fruits. After a few weeks, beautiful fruit arrives, like cherries. Time is required, but we all will bring forth good things. There are many people much better than us, and they are making this prārthanā. With these words of mine—a lot, a lot—I do not wish to disturb you too much. So I wish you well. If you have any questions or something to say, you are welcome. Adio. Gurujī, there is one question. Can I read it? "In these days, we can see very significant constellations in the sky, which tomorrow, the 21st of December, is going to have its peak: a unique conjunction of Jupiter, the Guru, and Saturn, the Lord of Karma, in the Aquarius zodiac sign. This constellation was last seen 800 years ago. Can we utilize this constellation for our spiritual development, and which technique should we use? Also, at Guru Pūrṇimā in Vaibh, about four years ago, a lot was spoken about Mahāpralaya and Satya Yuga. Is this event in connection with those things? Thank you. Kiran." These days, there are very important constellations in the area, which tomorrow, on the 21st of December, will mark the unique conjunction of Jupiter, the Guru, and Saturn, the Lord of Karma, in the sign of Aquarius, which last occurred 800 years ago. Can we use this constellation for spiritual progress and some techniques? At the Guru Pūrṇimā in Vepa four years ago, there was a lot of talk about Mahāpralaya and Satyayuga. Was it related to this event? Practice yoga and daily life, and sleep very peacefully. Look inside; see what will be good. You will be protected, as I said.
