Bhajans awake positive energies

Awakening to health and awareness is essential in these challenging times.

Negative influences are pervasive, arising from within and without, making protection difficult. Strengthen the body through yogic exercise and proper nourishment. Consume sprouted seeds and soaked almonds each morning. After eating, avoid water for one hour; consume fruit before other foods. Purify your living space, even in cities, by cleaning and allowing filtered air. Practice prāṇāyāma to strengthen the lungs, heart, and brain. Spiritual nourishment from bhajans and satsaṅg is vital for the mind and heart. The bhajan "Chetan Chetan" calls for alertness. We must be aware and wish for good health in all states of consciousness. Positive spiritual practices awaken every cell. Ultimately, you must do the work for your own well-being.

"Chetan means be alert, be aware; you should know."

"Deep means light... Nārāyaṇa is Viṣṇu, Bhagavān Viṣṇu."

Alakpurījī Mahādev kī jai. Devadhī Dev, Deveśvar Mahādev kī jai. Satguru Svāmī Madhvānandjī Bhagavān kī jai. Devadhī Dev, Deveśvar Mahādev kī jai. Bhagavān Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī kī jaya. Satya Sanātana Dharma kī jaya. Good evening to all dear sisters, brothers, yoga teachers, and yoga students around the whole world, in all different ashrams and yoga centers, from Yoga Daily Life and many other paths, and to all other spiritual people. We worship all of them, and we are trying very hard to attain peace, harmony, understanding, and spiritual development. Unfortunately, times are becoming more negative day by day. The challenges are not just from the way of Corona; they say it is more pervasive, coming from within. We do not know how quickly and without any signs it comes to us. If we go to a farm or walk in a forest and touch leaves or a tree trunk, we do not know if we might contract something. It is said that now issues arise because of medicines or vaccines, but these are also not for the long term. How long will we always need injections? This is also uncertain. But of course, we humans are trying our best. We will now incorporate more beautiful exercises to build strength in our body, not only from nourishment but from yogic exercises. We will begin this from tomorrow. You should practice, we should practice, I should practice. Nourishment is also key. I am consuming a lot of greenery, salad, etc. Many Ayurvedic and yoga practitioners always give instructions on what to eat and drink. It is said we should take some seeds—like mung, channā, mungfalī, and others (Umapurījī, you know better than I)—and also methī. We should put them in water or a wet cloth. After three or four days, they sprout. Then a completely different kind of prāṇa is inside. In the morning, we should all have one cup of such sprouts. Also, have some morning almonds—just five to ten seeds. Soak them in water in the evening and use them in the morning. First, we must care for our body and protections. We should do this. Secondly, after eating, we should not drink water for one hour. While eating a little, we can take a sip of water in the mouth; this is very healthy for the body. Also, they say if you want fruit, have it first before other food, because sweet fruits contain more sugar and digest better beforehand. After that, have chapati, rice, or vegetables. In this situation, we must prepare ourselves from our home, in our kitchen, using the seeds and things we have. Of course, not everyone has fresh air, especially in big cities. But still, within our room or house, we should clean everything, spray everything, and let air come from outside through the windows. Place a very thin, wet cotton cloth in the window for cleaning and purification, in addition to spraying something. Unfortunately, this terrible Corona has come again. Many people die, and when we see those who have died, we are very sad. People say, "I am very healthy, I am everything, I am nothing," and when tested, they are positive. So, do not go anywhere—to parties, weddings, etc. Protect yourself and protect others, including children and parents. Now, prāṇāyāma. We must come to prāṇāyāma because it will give strength to our lungs, heart, and brain. We will also begin the prāṇāyāmas now. So, wherever you are in the world, you should practice. Beginning is very important. Then, in our brain, mind, heart, and whole being, we need spiritual nourishment—that is bhajans and lectures, the satsaṅgs. We tell that every day we should give something fresh and good knowledge. For the last two and a half weeks, we have focused on one beautiful bhajan: "Chetan Chetan." Chetan means be alert, be aware; you should know. This is also for these illnesses or infections. We are in Kali Yuga. In Kali Yuga, problems arise largely due to many chemicals, different kinds of chemicals. Our food is not good. All kinds of vegetables are not good. Day by day, there is more and more poison. It is very difficult to protect ourselves, but yoga will do something, and that is very important. What is that? Day and night, even in Jagrātā (waking), Suṣupta (deep sleep), and Svapna (dreaming)—these three states. Even in dreams, we should always wish for good health and good things. We should be very careful. So it is said: be aware, be alert, be awakened, be clear. In this place, anyone giving instruction, a lecture, bhajans, or playing instruments—such bhajans awaken each and every cell of the body in a positive way, not negative. Mata, pitā, aur kutumba, kabīlā, ye dhunā lālcāve re. Yam kī mār paḍe sirāyu par, kaun chuḍāve re? Guru samjhāve re. Chet, chet, yah jīva yā gyānī avasar jāve re. Guru samjhāve re.

Shri Pūjya Bhagavān Deep Narāyan Sutahāns Jagāve Hā Kahe Mādhavānand Jīvjan Se Sab Sukh Pāve Re. This whole bhajan... I was also walking. So it is said: śrī pūjye. Śrī means worship, prosperity, peace, etc. Pūjā means worshipable. We are always worshiping. When we go to the temple, church, all spiritual places, and to great saints, we bow down. That is called pūjye—one whom we adore. That person is Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa. Bhagavān is God, not a semi-god or a beady-eyed god. He is God. Deep is Mahāprabhujī, Bhagavān, Śrī Deep, Nārāyaṇa, Mahāprabhujī, Barikatu. Deep means light, prakāśa—light all the time. Nārāyaṇa is Viṣṇu, Bhagavān Viṣṇu. Śrī Pūjya Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī... Gurujī said: Sutta means sleeping. We are deep sleeping, sleeping without any awareness—deep sleepers. Now, Deep Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān... Hāns is the swan. The swan is sleeping, but Gurudev wakes him up. Gurudev awakens them. What is that awakening? It means be aware, be good. Do good, eat good, drink good. Walk better wherever you are. Be alert, be good. That is Haṁsa, the swan, and Haṁsa is our soul, our Jīvātmā. We have the Haṁsa. You are all Haṁsas. When the crow flies like this, but when the swan goes... just like this, yes. This is so. We are all haṁsas; all bhaktas are haṁsas. Now, our Holy Gurujī, Swāmī Madhavānandajī, said: Bhajan se—through bhajan, you will get everything. Everyone will be very happy, very good. Śrī Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān kī... In this way, we have to do for ourselves. Of course, we have a guru, a teacher, we have everything. But we have to do it. It is said we can give you everything, but you should eat. If you are in the hospital and cannot eat, they feed through the nose, but at least in the stomach you have to digest. That’s it. So we should know how and when. Pure food, pure food—it is yours. Your life, your long life. In this Kali Yuga, it is not so; we have to be very happy and healthy. So, my dear all, wherever you are—in some countries it is midnight—you are around the whole world through Swāmījī’s television, that TV. It is around the whole world, and many, many bhaktas are learning and reading every day, listening, and many are also writing from it because they want to learn more: Yoga in Daily Life. Peace, peace, peace. I wish you all the best. Now, you should all, if you are sitting, have a half-hour meditation. Meditation means, if you have a place anywhere, do one mala, and for that, five times: "Om Śiva, Navaśiva, Navaśiva, Navaśiva..." Then we come to our own mantra. With this mantra, go to your own inner feelings. Do not try to go outside anywhere different. Suck your mantra inside.
