Without love, God will not come. You can try thousands and thousands of techniques, but without love—this is Holy Gurujī’s bhajan. In the bhajan, he gives the examples of many devotees. For instance, the first story is of Duryodhana, who once invited Kṛṣṇa for lunch, but it was without love. Kṛṣṇa accepted a different invitation from a true devotee, Vidura. Vidura was not prepared for this, so he went shopping for food. Kṛṣṇa arrived at his home in the meantime. His wife was there; she was truly a great lover and devotee of Kṛṣṇa. She was in such an ecstatic state of devotion that she wanted to feed him with something, but there was nothing other than bananas. When Vidura came home, she was throwing away the bananas and feeding the skin to Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa was eating with great joy. I remember because today we were with Swāmījī, and he said to Swāmī Lakṣmaṇjī, "You can eat the skin also from the mango." The whole bhajan continues with different other stories. So let us just sing it. Nai āve Prabhu prema binā, nai āve dhanane mevā banāyā. Dhanane mevā banāyā, prema binā Prabhu nahī̃ pāyā. Prema-prīṇa Prabhu nahī̃ pāyā. Sāga vidura dhar jākar kāyā, sāga vidura dhar jākar kāyā. Ruca ruca bhog lagāve. Prabhu prema binā nahī̃ āve, cāhe karo jaṭanā ājara re. Prabhu prema binā nahī̃ āve, cāhe prema bhilānī neraka. Prabhu prema vaśa nitya pāla cāka. Dhanya, dhanya Hari mukha sevaka. Prema se darśana pāve Prabhu, prema binā nahī̃ āve. Cāhe karo cāṭanā ājara re, Prabhu prema binā nahī̃ āve.

Viśva Guru Paramahaṁsa Svāmī Maheśvarānanda Purījī Gurudeva Kī Jaya. Hari Om. Praṇāma Gurudeva. Hari Om. Praṇāma Gurudeva. Praṇāma Guru brothers and sisters. All of you, my brothers and sisters, are my family. Although I’m from somewhere else, to me, all of you are my family. And this is my family home. As I said, I think a couple of years ago when I came here, this is heaven on earth. Why? Why do we want to go to heaven? Because in heaven, we will be free from all our troubles. So why do we come here? Does anybody know why they come here? You want to say something? Put up your hand. Yes, even you. You say we come here to Swāmījī, right? I have also come back here to our Divine Father. I also come to our divine father, divine mother. Ok, at this point, let us sing. Om Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara, Guru Satsaṅga Parabrahma, I sang this. I think the majority of you know who our guru is. But some of you may not know. Say, who doesn’t know this śloka? Put up your hands. Those who do not know what is Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara. Please put up your hands, be honest, if you don’t know. Everybody knows? Put up your hands if you all know. And that’s why you keep on growing at Gurudeva’s feet. Why? Because you wanted something, you wanted blessing. Do we all get blessing? We all come with different problems. Do you get your problems solved? Some of you may, and some of you may not. So why is it Gurudeva is here? He is that God, he is that Father. But how come we do not solve our problems? We keep on coming. Why? Please. Everything has its own time; it comes in due time. What is our biggest problem? Our ego. It’s so huge. We don’t know it. And then another biggest problem is jealousy. We’re jealous of each other, and we are fighting among ourselves silently. So these are our problems. We have lots of blessings. You hear all these beautiful stories of how Viśva Gurujī removes all our difficulties. So, how do we go from here? I hope all of you have mantras. Who does not have a mantra? Anyone who has no mantra? You have no mantra. Anyone else? You have no mantra. You have no mantra. One, two, three. Anyone else? Do you know what a mantra is? Those people who don’t have one? Mantra is to liberate our mind. But not any mantra. I come across many religions. And many masters give mantra, just ordinary mantras. But our Viśva Gurujī, he is that Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Maheśvara. And so he knows each one of you, where your destiny is. So he gives you the right mantra for you to take off your mind, to release you from your mental problems. And when our mental problem is solved, many things will be solved. But many people take mantra; we have to be religious. Spend a little bit of time to really understand what mantra means to you, and how it has to be practiced. And then that comes to our name. Many of us have different names. And only Viśva Gurujī knows where we have to walk to. And our name, the more we use it, we will walk towards that name and free our mind also. All of us have different qualities and different, what do you call it, negativities. So we have to work through our mantra and really look at ourselves, and that is what our meditation is for. And ask ourselves, what is my problem? Why do I have that problem? Why can I not go forward? Sometimes it’s as simple as just another back task. They give you so much problem that you cannot go on the path anymore. A Viśva Gurujī is a casualty. A Viśva Gurujī, why? Because people are fighting, and they think, "Oh, this ashram is no good, I leave." So, disciples fight, they leave Viśva Gurujī. And that, instead of a fight, is what we follow in Viśva Gurujī. So those little problems manifest from our mind and from our big ego. I want to win over that person. I cannot take orders from that person. But this is Viśva Gurujī’s training for us. So, when you have overcome all these little, little problems, think of what Viśva Gurujī wants to guide us to through your name. And then you have to work hard towards that name that you get. As Viśva Gurujī also says, the working hands have more value than the folded hands. So, we have to give seva. When you come to get all blessings, our scale has to be balanced. You get something here, a lot of things. What happens to the scale? Then they go down. When on one side, and then the other side is up. So the scale has to be balanced. You get lots of blessings. So you have to give back something. There’s also a Chinese saying that if you always get, then you’ll be down there without giving back. So we can give kind words. And somebody may have a pocket full of money with Viśva Gurujī’s blessing. I saw many disciples with very many difficulties, and Viśva Gurujī sent them to a place, hoping that they have a new avenue to expand their knowledge. To expand their work experience, some have gratitude. But some think that I make it myself, so these are the problems. So, I think we are in the safest place. I am a newcomer, although I am very old. And I heard all these beautiful stories. And yesterday, so many miracles that we heard. And I’m sure all of us, every one of us, has some kind of miracles, but we never look at those miracles from Viśva Gurujī. Because our heart is very greedy. Many things I observe, as Viśva Gurujī says, "We are human, but are we really?" And I think COVID tells us something: before, it was individual countries, but COVID affects the whole universe. And now, after COVID, we can see the decline of every country. And some countries have less, and some countries have more. Now, all countries are affected by the economy. So what is economy? Money. The whole world is involved in money. And also, if you really look back in history, those countries who invaded other countries and took over other countries, they are in the deepest problem, and this is karma again. Even countries don’t believe in karma, but karma is happening to every country. It concerns even countries, but that karma comes to them as well. So really, we come here to become Viśva Gurujī’s disciple. We are trying to work away our karma that we do not know. Only Viśva Gurujī knows. As I say, there are many, many masters I have met. But they are not that Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara. At my age, I have been to a Chinese master, and I studied many of the Chinese old traditional, like I Ching or Tao I Ching. They all talk about very similar things, but it is not the same. They are masters who are teaching from theory, but they are not that one, that one who knows you through and through. Even our thoughts we cannot escape. So, where do we go from here? So, let us sing, "Nāhaṁ Kartā." And so, let us sing Nāhaṁ Kartā. Nāhaṁ Kartā Prabodhitā Māśā. We all sing this before we teach yoga. And we all sing this when we finish teaching. So I hope you all know what this mantra is. It is surrendering. We cannot just surrender with our body; we have to surrender our heart. So, this is for all of you. To me, these two mantras are a must. Remember who is Viśva Gurujī. Why are you at his lotus feet? That is Nāhaṁ Kartā. Another thing I would say is we have Mahāprabhujī, Śrī Devapurījī, Holī Gurujī, Mahāprabhujī, Devapurījī, Alagpurījī, Holī Gurujī, but now Viśva Gurujī is all of them informed. I hope you understand this. He is informed for us, and Holy Gurujī is all in, and He appears informed for us, and He has taken this form for us. Thank you. Param Pūjya Śrī Svāmījī Mahārāja and the Yoga in Daily Life family. Svāmījī Mahārāja and the dear Yoga in Daily Life family. So, I’m absolutely delighted to be here again with you. I was looking at some figures, and it is estimated that in the last year, 110 billion dollars is what the yoga industry is worth. So yoga, which is in essence a very ancient discipline for health and healthcare, has become an industry. And what do you think is the figure made up from? One hundred ten billion United States dollars. What actually goes to make this figure? What do you think is the number of those 100 billion dollars? Where did they get it from? Coconut mats. Coconut mats, and the gear, and what you’re supposed to wear. Are those some kind of drugs from coconut oil and clothes? That is in quite a contrast to what we see here. Are those yoga pads and clothes? So what His Holiness Śrī Mahārājī is sharing with you and is teaching you is the organic, is the real, is the authentic yoga. So we have to be a little bit careful because there are institutions that want to control institutions like yoga and Āyurveda, and so on. For example, like with turmeric, turmeric and some other kitchen, you know, things that every mother uses in the kitchen. The Americans were the first to actually start moving and wanted to start patenting those spices. The government of India has actually been asleep for the last 75 years. And the Indian government was asleep and didn’t notice it in recent years. And see that there is this uncontrollable situation which has to be controlled. And, Swamiji, in the United Kingdom, you know, we’re facing a situation where, I know we’re going to have a dance item here, but this is classical dance, yeah? This is part of Bhārata Nāṭyam, which is a classical dance that falls under the auspices of Indian traditional sciences. But in the United Kingdom, they’re looking at regulating yoga as a dance routine. So that is sort of happening, you know, inside discreetly, and organizations, you know, they want to have control over yoga, they want to have control over Ayurveda, they want to have control over holistic medicine systems. Āyurveda and so on. And this is a very important time, when I know there are so many different variations in yoga, but, you know, as a family, as a yoga family, we all need to come together to create one benchmark for yoga universally. So my humble request to Swamiji is, you are very well acquainted with Dr. Nekendraji in Bangalore. And so my request to Swāmījī is that he knows Dr. Nekendrājī from Bangalore. Dr. Nekendraji is the chancellor of the only yoga university in the world, which is S-VYASA in India. And just switching the topic a little bit, what we’ve done with Ayurveda here is that we now have a benchmark for Ayurveda at the World Health Organization. And we need to have a benchmark for yoga at the World Health Organization. And so we need, I’m requesting Śrī Mahārāj Jī here, to put pressure on Dr. Nekendra in India to create that benchmark. So a benchmark is like a universal standard. So we can all have one universal standard, and then people can go and they can learn Kuṇḍalinī or they can learn Aṣṭāṅga or they can learn Dhruva, you know, whatever other yoga they want to do. But there must be one universal benchmark for yoga. Right, so any questions, any answers? I’m sorry, why would we want to promote and work with traditional yoga as you are here and get somebody else from a dance routine to set up a standard for yoga? So, I just really thought I would like to share that with you. I know this is not directly affecting you, but indirectly, actually, it is. So we have to take a lead to try and bring yoga institutions together, and with the graceful blessings of Śrī Swāmījī, to create this universal platform for yoga universally, so that we have one benchmark for that, and so that it doesn’t go into the wrong hands. It’s like about 10 years ago, I got a telephone call from a radio station in London. And that’s why I think we should meet up with different yoga groups and really talk about the rules of yoga. I remember, 10 years ago, they called me from the radio. So there is a very young lady, you know, those little children who are coming here sometimes, you know, children here. So she is teaching yoga to these little toddlers in a place which she is hiring from a church. So one day, they thought, this is not right here. Yoga is Hindu, and why is Hindu yoga being taught in a Christian church? And the church people stopped this young lady from teaching yoga. I mean, it’s not teaching yoga, it’s just for young children like that, just really some stretching, yeah? And then there is a dedicated Christian radio station in England. In England, there is one radio station that is truly Christian, focused on Christianity. So they wanted to debate this, and unfortunately, they asked me to come and debate this. So there was the vicar from the church, the regional vicar, and the radio broadcasting people. So they asked me this question: is yoga Hindu? Yes? And should it be practiced in a church building? So I said that, look, you know, in the 1960s and 1970s, every English family, every British family on Friday evening would have fish and chips to eat. And now there is so much curry on Friday evening. Everybody is eating curry. Are we going to stop people in England, British people, 70 million people, from eating curry because it’s Hindu? And you want to prohibit people from eating curry because it’s from India? So that was the end of the debate. That’s the end of the debate. So this work that we’re doing in the British Parliament, you know, for the all-party parliamentary group on Indian traditional sciences, it’s a group that, with the blessings of Śrī Swāmījī, I created back about eight years ago in the UK Parliament. Which is representative of 30 members of Parliament from both the House of Lords and the House of Commons. And so these are British MPs fighting for yoga, fighting for Ayurveda, to incorporate it so that it is legitimized, and so that 70 million people can use yoga and Ayurveda as preventative medicine. And with Swamiji’s blessings and your support, you know, I think we need to do the same thing in the EU Parliament in Brussels this year. Because if we don’t ask, we don’t get. So these MPs, when there’s election time and they want you to vote for them, ask them, "What are they going to give you?" So, there has to be a European yoga block. There has to be a European yoga platform. So we’re demanding that our recognition should be recognized by every government, the 27 nations of the European Union, and the European Union itself. European Union and at the level of the entire European Union. Thank you, Sri Swami. Thank you, Swami. Śrī Devaśvara Mahādeva Kī Jaya. Sadguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān Kī Jaya. Viśva Guru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Śrī Svāmī Mahāśvarānandajī Gurudeva Kī Jaya. Śrī Sūradāsajī Mahārāja Kī Jaya. Prabhu mere avaguṇa citta na dhāro. And if you want, you can liberate me. And then Sūradāsajī gives these comparisons or some symbolical events of this Samadarśī. The first one is the knife that is used to kill. And also the holder that holds the candles, both are made from iron. But the paras, this precious stone that has the ability to turn iron into gold, does not make a difference between these two irons, and both of them turn into gold. The second śloka speaks about the Gaṅgā River. One thing is that it is the holy and pure Gaṅgā, and something else is the dirty sewage, but when this dirty water joins the Gaṅgā River, after that it’s not anymore called dirty water, but it’s called the Gaṅgā River. Sūradāsa and Kṛṣṇa are one. And then what we hear from Holy Gurujī, it’s my turn to take me across. Just to make sure, then he adds, "And please don’t postpone anymore." And then he adds further: Avaguṇa cittana dhāro, samadarśī he namati hāro. Samadarśī he namati hāro, cāhī to pāra karo. Prabhu mere avaguṇa cittana dhāro, Prabhujī mere avaguṇa cittana dhāro. Ika loha pūjā meṁ rākata ika garabadhika pariyo. Parasa guṇa ava guṇa nahī̃ citavatā, kañcana karata karo. Prabhu mere avaguṇa cittana dhāro. Samadarśīye nāma tihāro, samadarśīye nāma tihāro. Cāhe to pāra karo, avaguṇa cittana dhāro, Prabhujī, mere avaguṇa cittana dhāro. Eka nadīyā eka nāla kahāvatā, melo hī nīra bhariyo. Jaba meṁ lāgā eka varaṇa bhāye, Sursarī nāma pariyo. Prabhu, samadarśīye nāma tihāro, cāhe to pāra karo Prabhu, na citta na dhāro. Prabhujī mere, ava guṇa citta na dhāro. Eka jīva eka brahma kāvatām, suruṣyamā jagāro. Eka jīva eka brahma kāvatām. Suruṣyamā jagāro Abhakī birmo hī pāra utāro, baki birmo hī pāra utāro nahī̃. Prāṇa jāta taṭaro, Prabhu ava guṇa citta nadāro, sama darśīye nāma tyāro. Cāhe to pārat karo, na citta na dhāro.
