Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jai, Devādhi Deva, Deveśvara Mahādeva Kī Jai, Satguru Svāmī Madhvanānjī Bhagavān Kī Jai, Alak Purījī Mahādeva Kī Jai. Good evening to all our dear sisters and brothers around the whole world, in yoga and in their lives, centers, ashrams, practitioners, teachers, and so on. I respect all other yoga schools, ashrams, and practitioners doing different kinds of yoga. I respect all people, no matter their religion, country, or the techniques they practice. I look forward to us all becoming a brotherhood throughout the world. We should respect and help all governments so they can do good for our countries. Today is the second day of the New Year, and time is gone, past. Where we are in that time, we are. The future, like tomorrow or the next minute, we do not know. So, every day is a day. Every day is the first day we have. Our past day is gone; we can only remember it. The future we may think about, but it is not there. Therefore, we should live our life at present. The past has become for us a kind of thinking, a story. Even today we do not know. It is only at that time that we can breathe in and breathe out. Taking the breath out is no problem. The breath we are inhaling is just our border. How will we make our breath go from in to out and come in again? This is what we can say: the end, the past, the future, and the present. So everything is in our prāṇa. Prāṇa. Many times we think someone has died, but still there is prāṇa inside. Somehow, the prāṇa is moving inside. Many times we say a person has died. A doctor says there is no pulse, no heartbeat, no breath. Eyes are closed or open, and we say it is dead. After a certain time, again, one breath comes in, and we say, "Oh, he will come back." Thank you, God. So, how is the prāṇa moving? The prāṇa is like a thread; we are hanging on the thread. Yoga and the yogīs say how to live with the prāṇa. Many people in the world now are doing that; they say they do not eat or drink anything, only using the sun's energy. Many stand gazing towards the sun. The sun rises, and before it rises, there is a morning we call Brahma Mūrta. At that time, the energy in our body begins in all cells. When the sun sets, all systems inside should be relaxed, very comfortable, and their inner machines are functioning. For our hearts, kidneys, and all inner things, that kind of energy is there, moving. It means our inner engineering, with all instruments in the body—muscles, stomach, kidneys, etc. During deep sleep, as I was telling yesterday or the day before, it is called Jāgrata, Suṣupta, and Svapna. In these three states, what is happening in our body? In suṣupta, i.e., deep sleep, there is complete relaxation. Then, something we want to know again, that we want to go and see—that is what our ātmā, jīvā, experiences as svapna, the dream. We want to enjoy or be one with our body, or from the past. The past means when we were awakened, where we had different kinds of problems, happy or unhappy, joyful or terrible. This all begins from the past and comes in the svapna. Those who have no svapna, only deep sleep, are very rare. Because when we are awakened, we are outside, and when we go to sleep, we are going a different way. So, where is sleep then? Mahāprabhujī has written in his book that a yogī knows what is yoga nidrā. Then they can go through the dream also in yoga nidrā and will get very pure, good things in the dreams. If there is something negative, they will try to get rid of it. Very rare persons can do this. They are the sent yogīs, or you can be a yogī. It does not mean only that you did not marry, or you ran away from families. That is nothing. When we go to sleep, we go to our Brahman, to Brahmāstra inside. Suddenly you sleep, and there is a dance inside. You do not understand or feel it. It is like a flute or some resonance where you feel nothing; you sleep. But that is called snoring, sleeping. We ourselves cannot listen. It is like Brahmaloka. No problem, no unhappiness, completely in... That is good, very good. But other neighbors sleeping near us are suffering because they are out. If you can also go into that snow rink, then both will synchronize. But they cannot. Their energy is different. Yoga, with svara yoga and kuṇḍalinī yoga, nāda yoga, etc., is what we have to achieve. So then, snoring is there, and dreaming is somewhere else. When somebody says, "Hello," you wake up. "I was having a dream. It was a very nice dream." They say, "No, you were snoring." So, what is the difference between snoring and dreaming? And what is jagratā, being awakened? If a yogī is, then he can go further, writing lectures, reading books, giving stories, and we think he is a very great person. But ask this person, and he cannot tell. He does not know what is going on. I do not know. That is not snoring, and dreaming is not under your control. Only that yogī, that guru—we call param-gurus—they can give inside one key. That is very important. So, I am sitting here, every day talking, learning something, and I always try to look into a book. I tell you, I do not read even half a book. But what I do not know, I try to see in some book. Then I say, "Okay, I will." When I read something, I will tell you in the morning or evening. I am sitting here on this siddhe, the Gāḍī, Guru Gāḍī. It is the seat of God. It is Viṣṇu, Śiva, Kṛṣṇa, etc. This is a Gāḍī. If you sit, you should not say that you are sitting on such a good seat. You should know that this seat, when you touch it, brings a beautiful energy round and round. But if you say, "Now I am happy, I am a great person, and everyone has put me in this seat," very good. You can sit, but it will be like this. Therefore, Gurū Gadī. For example, you people know here in Europe the Christian religion. They call the Pope. Only the Pope can sit on this chair. He also has a daṇḍī stick, which they call the stick for the sheep. The shepherd has the stick in hand. When he takes the stick and is a shepherd, then we are all the sheep. So when the pope is sitting there with the stick, all Christians say they are like sheep. Others say to other gurus, we call them disciples. They are also like this now, as our bhaktas, our children. But if you think you will listen, and you like this and that, and then you go, this is not coming and going down to know anything. So every religion is controlling together, bringing more and more people day by day. One has to be the head. Similarly, in our day, our dreaming, we are awakened, sleeping, dreaming, etc. Where is that? Where is that soul? The jīva. You think the jīva is hanging inside? It is outside. We do not know where it is. Maybe there is only some sound. So, know how to know. Then, if you are a yogī, we will go through that path. So, prāṇa. Prāṇa, śvaryoga. We will learn, and in the summer we will make a very big, nice program. My dear, there are many things. You know that our Ārādya Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī is great, great. He is Brahmā, God. It is said, Holī Gurujī said only what was the Mahāprabhujī. Many know, but they have forgotten. It is only the second generation, third generation. Now, different kinds of people have children, further and further. They do not know what they want. If parents give that knowledge and all spirituality to their children, then it is okay. But they cannot see it, and it is gone far away. It has been a long time, a few years, since our Bhagavān Śrī Madhavānandjī Bhagavān passed away. You may have had darśan. Gurujī, in the last times, was trying to stay more in Kathu, in a barricade. Mostly Mahāprabhujī was living in a barricade in a village. Mahāprabhujī had a beautiful little cottage, and people came, all sitting outside. When Holy Gurujī was there, then Holy Gurujī was in sevā. Sevā means taking care. Many people came, sādhus, but they could not stand because Mahāprabhujī is Mahāprabhujī. When Mahāprabhujī sat and closed his eyes, it might be two or three hours. People came and sat there. They were families, little ones, and after sitting and sitting, he did not open an eye, so they would go. Mahāprabhujī’s eyes were closed, and when they opened, Mahāprabhujī said to Holī Gurujī, "This person, how was it that I was thinking, I was talking with him inside?" But Gurujī, you did not talk with them. Yes, because they are blind. Their eyes are closed. I was awakened with him. Mahāprabhujī said, "Holi Gurujī," and Holi Gurujī was holding his hand like this. Holi Guruji cannot say no and yes. Listen. Many things. We made a new house, buildings in the barricade, called Śhiv Bāg. Śhiva Bāg. Śhiva is Śhaṅkar Śhiva, and his park. There was nice green. Now Holy Gurujī made one room for him there, and Holy Gurujī had a small room for himself. Unfortunately, I made one mistake. It was a little like a cottage of Mahāprabhujī. I disrupted it, and we gave a big building with many rooms for our bhaktas. Guruji did not say anything because this was a little place, only about 20 square meters or even less. One little room where Mahāprabhujī was sleeping, very little, two by two or two by three meters, where people could sit and go. That is all. When I came from Europe, I made a very nice room for Mahāprabhujī, Holy Gurujī, because the village people did not respect Mahāprabhujī very much. They are just farmers. When Mahāprabhujī was not there, and Holi Gurujī was in other countries, this area was only that much—let us say, 5.8 square meters. The rest, all people took the land, and people put goats inside, and people were playing there. It was not anymore Mahāprabhujī’s. They were making with the stone some kind of playing. That is why I thought it is not there anymore. When I came from Europe to Barikatu village, to that Śiva park, Śiva garden, people were there—always our bhaktas, foreigners, many, many. They always come for Gurujī’s darśan. I went to Guruji’s room. Guruji also had one room and a verandah, very nice. Because Guruji said, "Put me in this room where I came, I faced towards where Mahāprabhujī was." Mahāprabhujī’s āśram is also in Kacharas. He wants to know where that is now. Mahāprabhujī was there, or Mahāprabhujī’s side. Mahāprabhujī will touch, or Holī Gurujī, making mantra. Holi Guruji said once that Mahāprabhujī said to Holi Guruji, Swamimu Madhavānandovī, Mahāprabhujī said to my holy Guruji, Madhavānandjī—the word I should not speak, because I have to say it differently—and said, "Madhav, only just Madhav." But we cannot say this. We will say, holy Śrī Mādhavānandjī, Bhagavān Mādhavānandjī, etc. But the father, poor little child, he speaks, gives a different name, no? So many times he said to Mahāprabhujī, to Holī Gurujī said, what do you wish? He said, just to have the darśan of you all the time. And Mahāprabhujī closed his eyes. What will you do? Your seva. Now you go somewhere in another country and city? He said, "Yes, but only means I see you, only this." Then one day Mahāprabhujī said to Holī Gurujī, my time has come. What do you want or wish? Mahāprabhujī, Holī Gurujī said, Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī, you will not go. Mahāprabhujī said, "My dear, this body will go." So whatever you want from me, give it to me. I give it to you. He said, "No. No, my money, gold, anything, I do not need anything. Only you. And you, seva for you." Mahāprabhujī said, but I am telling you. This Mahāprabhujī, or Holy Gurujī, said to me. Mahāprabhujī is sitting, and Holī Gurujī is standing with his hand. Madhava, I will go. And me? I will only come there where you will be again. I do not need Brahmalokas, any lokas, only your darśan. That means the disciple, and that is the guru. Not on asking this one and that one, and, "I did this, and I will be angry," and this and that. Yes, Mahāprabhujī was not so like this. He gave me sticks many times and many things, but he said, "This is for me." He is giving me more and more blessings. And do not think of the Holy Guru who said, "I do not like this, and why is this disciple for me, and this you are there, and this are no." I was talking in Badīkhāṭu, in the village Śivbhāg, with Holy Gurujī. I was sitting, and there is this big banyan tree. Holy Gurujī said, first he had tears, Mahāprabhujī, looking. Holi Guruji saw the tears in his eyes, but it was like only Mahāprabhujī’s. And Holī Gurujī said, "Maheśī, nobody has realized Mahāprabhujī." And who Mahāprabhujī was, Holī Gurujī said. These old people here in the city also could not recognize what Mahāprabhujī was. But I can tell you, only this big tree, the banyan, I ask you, only this banyan tree will say who was Mahāprabhujī. And so many things. So that place was where Mahāprabhujī lived. He lived there and in Balagudha and one other place in Harshor. There are also Mahāprabhujī’s brothers. So, that is something we say: what is a guru and what is a disciple. Again, one day Mahāprabhujī said, because Mahāprabhujī was buried, his body was old. So again, Mahāprabhujī said, "Not my mother, say something about you, something, what you wish." So Gurujī said, "All the times you are telling, and I do not say, I do not dare to give you, to tell you something that I need. But now I tell you today, because always you said no, Mahāprabhujī. I told you, Mahāprabhujī, and Mahāprabhujī said no. What? Holī Gurujī, want to write your book. All that I have seen, I have spoken, everything." And Mahāprabhujī said, "No." So last time then, Holī Gurujī was standing, and Mahāprabhujī said, Madhavanam, when is your wish, then you can write what you want to write. And then Mahāprabhujī’s book, Holī Gurujī, began to be written. Also, Mahāprabhujī said, "Do it sometime." And that happens really when Mahāprabhujī passed away. Then Mahāprabhujī began to write, and you have these holy books. This is like a Bible. It is our Bible, Mahāprabhujī’s book. Every word written inside, who can read and then go to sleep? And so is that. So it cannot be so many, you see. Very rare to get some nice, real pearl. So many are, but Mahāprabhujī and Holy Gurujī will never say anything negative. And Gurujī will not say anything, and Mahāprabhujī, always very... It is like this when we make a pot out of clay. Inside the pot, we put it with cloth, like from cotton, very nice, very close, careful. And outside we are beating, but inside we are holding so it should not break. So inside is giving love, and outside is giving you something to give the shape. To give the shape of the disciples, a real shape is not easy. Well, my dear, tomorrow Mahāprabhujī is going to Brahmaloka, and the day after tomorrow, tomorrow is that day when Mahāprabhujī is there and will give the samādhi and everything. The next day, the day after tomorrow, then some people will come. Otherwise, after 16 days, making some, the bandha. So Mahāprabhujī became one of all and all in one. Tomorrow evening, people will come. Even at night, they are singing bhajans. In the morning, they will make prayers. Because many people are going to work, they give some prasāda and go. So for us, tomorrow is that Mahāprabhujī is going to Brahmaloka. This evening we will pray for Mahāprabhujī, and tomorrow we can give some prasāda. Or we can give it evening. So it is like this, exactly according to the Jyotiṣa. Today is the Jyotiṣa. This will be the next day. It means the fourth day. And tomorrow is the third day according to the Christian book. Is it my calendar? No, inside. I gave you something inside. Okay, so tomorrow, we are on that day fasting. Really fasting. So tomorrow, you can have milk, tea, coffee, and maybe in the afternoon you can have some food, fruit, and in the evening we can make a prasāda. But those who have a disease and want to eat something from time to time, then of course we should do so. Little children, of course, should eat. Drink a little water. Some people are addicted to coffee. If you do not drink coffee, you have a headache. So, of course, you can drink your coffee. And medicine if you need. So, at least on Gurudev’s day, we say really, and not that between Siddha Bhāskit and Biskit and something this, then it is nothing, water. So we will not lose two kilos in one day, but if you have difficulties, some medicines, or a headache, without this you can, so this is okay, we do not want. My dears, tomorrow we will also speak. Tomorrow we have prasāda; we will make it tomorrow evening. I wish you all the best and to know further what I spoke about on this subject. We should have Mālā, because according to Indian time, it is morning, Brahmaloka, about four o’clock or three o’clock in the morning, Mahāprabhujī went into samādhi. At 3 or 4 in the morning, at the Brahmaputra, so it is going today. In the afternoon, tomorrow is then. After people can, they are making satsaṅg and bhajans, so it is okay. From tomorrow afternoon, people will celebrate it in larger numbers.
