May I now pronounce the name of Śrī Lakhpurījī Siddhārtha Pīṭṭha Paramparā. His Holiness, Viśva Guru Mahāmudrā Śrī Maheśvarānandajī. Oṁ Namaḥ Nārāyaṇa to Mahāmudrā Śrī Svāmī Phulpūrījī Mahārāj. Om Namah Nārāyaṇa to all the sannyāsīs present here. Hari Om, and good evening to all of you who are present here and for those who are watching through Satsaṅg TV. Sorry if my voice is a little bit down, because I haven’t been feeling so well for the past two days. Tomorrow is Saturday and Devpurījī’s Mahāsamādhi. So, in Devpurījī’s Mahāsamādhi celebrations, this is an announcement, and I think it will be announced again later, but we’ll say it. Like we have celebrations in Jhaḍan or in Kailāsh Āśram in India, in the same way, we are trying to have a beautiful celebration here in Strelky. So tomorrow, we will have a beautiful night satsaṅg. Let’s say I was thinking to do it the whole night, and then I said we will do it till 11-ish, something. We will have beautiful bhajans, beautiful stories from the Līlā Amṛt, about Devpurījī. And if we manage to prepare, then we will have some beautiful performances by the children. And then, day after tomorrow is what? Sunday, and Swamiji’s birthday according to the Indian calendar. So we will be celebrating Gurudev’s birthday with Pādukā Pūjā and Mānasik Pūjā and a morning lecture. What happens after Mahāsamādhi day in Jadon, the next day? That’s different. What happens in Jādon? Bandha. Bandhara means we all sit together, we eat together, we intake the Mahāprasād. So on Sunday morning, after the lecture, we will have beautiful Mahāprasādi, eating all together. And in the evening, we will have a beautiful satsaṅg where all of you are most welcome. If you do not want to be randomized, picked by me, then you may give your suggestions. Sharing beautiful stories, beautiful experiences, your personal experiences with Gurudev. So, welcome all of you. Actually, I don’t need to welcome you to your own home, but still. Welcome back after a year-long vacation. Very happy to see all of you. There’s this powerful energy which we all can feel. And when we are working, when we are having our own personal things, that is vacation. Now we came back from vacation, back to home, now Sādhanāpada starts. In India, it is said that if we do bad karma, if we do bad deeds, we go and have a dip in the Gaṅgā. But for us, Gaṅgā, Yamunā, Sarasvatī, Godāvarī, all twelve Jyotirliṅgas, everything is residing here. The first step we already took. Using our vivekā and choosing satsaṅga or kusaṅga, we chose satsaṅga. So, welcome to the club. But now, our spiritual path, our spiritual journey, our spiritual awakening, the process starts. We all came here for a certain reason. So let’s all be focused and enjoy the moment, be in the present. Leave the past in the past, leave the future in the future, and just be present now in Strelka. Even if time exists or doesn’t exist, or whatsoever, one thing is clear: where we are, for what specific reason, on which specific time, is the right time to be where we are. So if we are all here, then there is a reason for it. This was Gurudev’s tapo bhūmi. He awakened this jyoti inside of this ashram. He brought Mahāprabhujī here, and now we are in that beautiful oasis. We are not somewhere else. We are in Mahāprabhujī’s ashram. Where there is constant light, constant blessing, constant love of our Gurudev, which will always be present, everlasting, never going anywhere. And to be connected to such a great paramparā of Śrīla Puruṣa Siddhārtha Purī Paramparā is also very divine, and we should all feel very blessed. That Gurudev picked us all from individual countries, individual cities, and brought us all together here. In Europe, we have people from Australia who came today. We have a bunch of bananas from all around the world and some oranges. In Jardin, we have more oranges, but yeah. But we are one beautiful family who are sitting here together and enjoying our time in Strelka. Śrī Devpurījī Mahārāj is Līlā, as we all know. But just a gentle reminder of what we are connected to. Śrī Devpurījī Mahārāj, he was once in the time of the British time. At that time, the British brought us trains, the British brought us the English language, and many other things, not only bad things. We have many languages in India, but something to connect English. To travel from one place to another trains. So we can’t only say things that are not good, so something good. And at that period of time, the trains were free for the sādhus. Śrī Devapurījī Mahārāj and his whole bunch of disciples were traveling in a train. And there was one ticket collector who was like all of us, full of kāma, krodha, mada, lobha, aṅgarā. Tohoto. Na zdravje. None of us is free from this. We are trying to get free by the kṛpā of Gurudev. So as he got hit, he said, "How can I let some sannyāsī travel for free?" We all are paying; he should also pay. So at that next station, he told Śrī Dayā Puruṣa to come out of the train. All the ten, fifteen sannyāsīs who were with, everyone come out. Either you pay, or you don’t board the train again. To improve our eyesight in yoga, what do we do? Tratak. So, the power of Tratak. But this power is here, and our power is here. Sri Dipujī Mahārāj’s Trāṭak Śakti was so strong that he just glared, stared. Some people say that when I stare into people’s eyes, it makes them cuckoo a little bit. He stared into the train, or into that station, and that all started burning. And everyone started panicking. Chaos. We enjoy chaos, so it’s normal for us. So, in the midst of chaos, everyone was saying, "What to do now? The fire is not going off. It doesn’t matter how much water we pour on it, nothing is helping." And someone said, "You see that sadhu sitting there?" Ask him for his blessings; maybe then something will be fixed. And Devpurījī’s dhyāna was straight into Trāṭak mode. And the ticket conductor, he figured out his mistake. So he came to Devpurījī, begged for forgiveness, "Sorry, you come back into the train. Never ever will you or any of the sādhus be charged for anything." And when he looked down, everything became normal. Nothing burning, no people dead, the train was still, as it was standing there. That is the power of the yogīs. That is the śakti which he holds. How many people did he cure? How many people did he bring back from the dead to life? This is the paramparā we are connected to. Even before passing, he told his disciples one night before in the satsaṅg, that tomorrow morning I’ll be leaving my physical body. But he looked completely normal, healthy, all good. But no one wanted to believe him, obviously. Why should we believe? We see what we see, we think what we think, and we are free to think what we think. And sometimes we believe that we are experts of everything, we know everything, and there is nothing that we don’t know about. Then we trip on the rock. On which rock do we trip? Ego trip. We go on an ego trip. Then all the disciples said, "No, no, nothing will happen, all good." Next morning, Śrī Deva Puruṣa Mahārāj woke up as normal. Did he shower, bathe, and get ready? And at 5:45, he sat in his Dhyāna Mudrā, and he just went into Samādhi. That is how our Masters can control things. Then all the disciples saw stillness, Gurudev sitting like this, no movement, no nothing, Śakti, prāṇa gone. And slowly, the reality started hitting, and at that period of time, Śrī Mahāprabhujī Mahārāj was in Barikatu having satsaṅg. And he felt, and he knew already what was coming. So he organized a whole night satsaṅg, bhajans. And he was staying at the Thākur Revatsingh’s palace. And in the morning, at 5:45, he stopped the bhajans. And he said, "Our dear Param Yogeshwar, our Gurudev, he has gone to become one with the Brahman." That’s why, in the same way, we also have night satsaṅgs and night bhajans going on. Because that power we still feel, we still feel that they are all still here with us. In the same way as Gurudev is constantly with us, in the same way Mahāprabhujī, Gurujī, Devapurījī, every one of them is always with us. We just need to go within, try to see the reality and find that, and go with that. That light, that jyoti, is never blown off. In life, tough things come, tough things go. Happy moments come, they go. But that light which Gurudev has lit inside of all our hearts, that is constant. That’s not shaking, that’s not moving, that’s not going anywhere. So let’s all be present, be here, be in the moment. And let’s leave our baggage outside the doors, outside the ashram. Which baggage? That all, plus our emotional baggage, our stress, our everything we left outside the doors, because we know when we are here nothing will disturb us, nothing will bother us, no ghosts, no nothing. Stress, stress, stress. And Hanumānjī is Śiva, and Śiva is Swāmījī, and Śiva is Devapurījī, which means no ghost, no nothing can bother us when we are in this ashram. When we have the guidance and the blessings of Gurudev, then nothing can affect us, doesn’t matter if you are sleeping. And in the morning, someone comes and puts makeup on their face and tries to scare you and wake you up. Nothing affects us. Why? Because Gurudev is within us, Gurudev is around us, Gurudev is everywhere, omnipresent, everlasting. So if we are scared about old ghosts living in the castle or in any other buildings or in the playground or anywhere, then don’t worry. Everything is okay. Imagine, like we are sitting in this bubble which cannot be penetrated. That bubble which cannot be penetrated by anything or anyone. And that bubble is the protection of Gurū Dev, and we all are in that bubble, so nothing can go through it. So we are always protected, we are always guided, we are always on the right path. So let us stay on this path. Let Śrī Devpurījī and the paramparā... Give us that strength to stay on the path. Let them guide us, let them help us, and let them show us the path. For us, we don’t need to do anything, just surrender. Let go. Let go of everything. What is happening is happening for a reason. There is always a reason why things are happening. Nothing happens without a reason. Trust the process. Trust in Gurudev, and trust in his guidance and his śakti. We don’t need anything else. Paraṁ Brahmā Tasmai Śrī Gurve Namaḥ Śrī Alak Puruṣa Mahādevakī Śrī Dev Puruṣa Mahādevakī Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavānakī Hindu Dharma Samrāṭ Madhavānandajī Bhagavānakī Viśvaguru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Yogīrāj Parampūjya Śrī Satgurudevakī Punyanand Bhartījī Mahārājakī Āj Ke Ānandakī Salutations to Alak Puruṣ Siddha Pīṭ Paramparā. Respected brother, dear Swami Avatar Puruṣ Mahārāj, respected all the yogīs, yetis, sannyāsīs, the divine devotees, brothers and sisters. Present here in the Living Light Mahāprabhujī Deep Satsaṅg Foundation, Strelky, and as well through the webcast around the world. Many blessings to all of you from Alakpurī Siddhāpīṭa Paramparā, and as well from Viśva Gurujī. Just you were listening, our dear Alakpurī Siddhāpīṭ Paramparā. The Divine Cosmic Light glories. From time to time, the Universal Cosmic Light comes to the Earth for the guidance of devotees. Devotees need good directions. Devotees need the divine path. Devotees need divine light. Devotees need not dividing, but uniting. And devotees do not have disturbances. Devotees need the divine path, and devotees need yoga in daily life. For that purpose, from time to time, this cosmic light comes to this earth, guiding all of us around the world who are devotees. Like our paramparās, there was just, there, Avatar Purījī mentioning this paramparā from Allāhpurījī, from Devpurījī, from Mahāprabhujī, Holy Gurujī, and also Viśva Gurujī. Devapurī, Mahāprabhu, Holiguru, Viśvaguru, and so on, the lineages. In the world, they are similarly, they are everywhere, those who are devotees. For their guidance, it comes like that kind, the spiritual light, like Guru Paramparā, guiding us on the divine path. So we are fortunate ones, the blessed ones, that we have this divine path to go further on our cosmic journey. According to the scriptures, we always follow because our constitution is there. Because this is our constitution, the cosmic constitution. And this cosmic constitution is the inter-satsaṅg yogīs like Devpurījī and our paramparās. And this, they are preaching, and we are listening, and we are going further on our divine journey. So, there are yogīs, and similarly, Śiva is always coming from time to time in different forms. Like Śaṅkarācārya, he was also the incarnation of Lord Śiva. Incarnation of Lord Śiva, similarly our Devpurījī, our Swāmījī, also like incarnation as Śiva, so in the Śiva Purāṇa there is given many, many glories of Lord. There is one mantra, it’s called the Pañcākṣara Mantra. Pañcākṣar means five. Akṣar means the words. So it is a very easy way to remember and easy to repeat. And come into the good benefits for our peace and for God’s devotion. It is very short and great, great, great blessings. It is a short and great blessing. Call only the very short "Oṁ Namo Śivāya," and it is so short. So, this is actually the Śiva month, so it is the Śiva mantra, Śiva month. They always, the yogīs or ṛṣis or paṇḍits, they preach the Śiva Purāṇa because Śiva is the first god in the universe. Always coming light from Śiva. Like we mentioned, Devapurījī, Gurujī, Śaṅkarācārya, they are all from their lights. Similarly, this month is dedicated to Lord Śiva, so that the whole month, the bhaktas, the devotees, can listen, and yogīs or paṇḍits are preaching the Śiva Purāṇa. So they are also increasing spiritual knowledge or spiritual blessing. The yogīs who are preaching and who are listening, they are also getting Śiva’s blessing. It is mentioned that through listening, they will also reduce their old sins or bad deeds. And it is said that just by listening to it, it actually removes the various sins. And also, reading is also there, getting great benefits. So, if you like this short mantra, we will just repeat it five times: Om Namah Śivāya, and I will further explain what we will repeat. With this short mantra, Om Namah Śivāya, you can sing it five times, and then I will explain something else. So please sit comfortably, folding hands, respecting Lord Śiva and this mantra. If you like to be with me, or if you like to be behind me, you can repeat it. Oh yeah! Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya. So, first chanting, first chanting, Oṁ. So, first chanting, first chanting, Oṁ. Oṁ. Om Namaḥ Śivāya. Om Namaḥ Śivāya.... Namah Śivāya, Om Namah Śivāya. Okay, thank you. There is a repetition; this is many, many different ways. So, first, repeating Om Namāḥ Śivāya. Aum is a cosmic symbol representing God. Namaha means that we bow down or make praṇām to God. And now, this is a little bit like a prayer way. I will sing, you will listen only. N, M, C, D, E, this is five. N means N. M means M. In English, it’s the same, not M, M. It’s coming from mother. And C means, it’s not C, but it’s called S for us, it’s S-H. V means V. Last one, YAH, means you have also English YAH. N, M, Ś, YAH. So, this little prayer, is it called? You will listen only. Just listen to it. And after, we, Avatar Purījī, will make text for you, and then you can also learn this prayer. And Śrī Avatāra Purījī will then prepare the text for you, and you will be able to learn it as a prayer. Oh, Nāgendrāya, Trilocanāya, Bhasmanā Gargāya, Maheśvarāya, nityāya śuddhāya digambarāya tasmai nakarāya namaḥ śivāya. Mandākinī-calila-candana-carśitāya, Nandīśvara-pramathanātha-Maheśvarāya, Mandāra-puṣpa-bahu-puṣpa-supūjitāya tasmai makarāya namaḥ śivāya. Vasiṣṭha-kumbhodbhava-gotamārya munīndra-devarṣi-ta-śekharāya chandra-kāveśvara-nārluchanāya tasmai śikharāya namaḥ śivāya. Vasiṣṭha-kumbhodbhava-gotamārya munīndra-devārchita-śekharāya chandra-kāveśvara-nṛluchanāya tasmai nivākarāya namaḥ śivāya. Yakṣa-svarūpāya jhaṭā-dharāya pināka-hastāya sanātanāya. Devāyā devāya digambarāya tasmānyākārāya namāḥ śivāya pañcākṣara midaṃ puṇyaṃ gṛhapate śivasanido śivalokena vapnoti śivena sahamodate. So this is written by Śaṅkarācārya, prayer to this Bhagavān Śiva. Even though he was the incarnation of Śiva, he was praying to Lord Śiva. So when we come to Mṛtyu Loka, then we forget our light. We have to again pray to the cosmic light to achieve that goal. So, the explanation is there, given a little long. This is how Śiva looks, this glory, the Śaṅkarācārya feels, how Śiva looks. Nagendra means snake, ground, his neck, many, many snakes. So he has a lot of haḍu as his decoration, three lochanai, three eyes. And three eyes are different ones. The one they say moon and sun and fire, the third one. One is the sun, the other is the moon, and the third is the fire. So when you open the third eye, fire comes. Bhasma means that from dhūni, bhasmī, he makes baths. When we get sannyāsa, dīkṣā, we often have the bhasmi. Basmi is actually from the Danube, and when we have a bath, we also use it. Mostly, we all sannyāsīs have experienced the bhasmī bath. And then, after we go for Sannyāsa Dīkṣā, it’s English called ashes, from fire come, no? Bhasma Nagaragaya, this Bhasmī, he makes the bath of this Bhasma. Mandākinī chal citāyī. Mandankinī means Gaṅgā; it is flowing from his head. And here is the beautiful look of this jewelry. Vashishtha Muni was also worshiping him. Agastya Muni. In that great story, one time what happened was that Indra had some troubles. He came on the earth, and he prayed to Agastamuni, "Please, can you support me?" He answered, "What can I do for you? Please drink all the ocean water." So he would make this, and he drank all the ocean water. So yogīs have divine, divine, divine miracles, miracles like Devpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, as usual Gurujī. And then further, Nama Śivāya, Śivāya Nama Vasiṣṭha Kumbho, and then comes the last one. Pina kastai, jata dharai means great jaṭā, hair. Mahāprabhujī has good hair. Viśva Gurujī has jaṭā. Holy Gurujī also has, but Mahāprabhujī told that you should remain like this. Some pictures have Holy Gurujī, no? You know, in tidying. But Mahāprabhujī was following Mahāprabhujī’s instructions. Devotee’s duty is to follow the Gurudev’s instructions. So, Holī Gurujī was always remaining without Jaṭā. Pinnas means that he has the arrow. Our India’s God is a very great God. All gods have their own safety protection. But that’s for protection, not for destruction. Similarly, always, the Vishwagurujī mentioned, in human life, for protection, not for destruction. So Nityāī should die, Digambarāī. Nityāi means everlasting. Śuddhi means pure consciousness. Dīgambarāya means his cloth is like east, west, north, south. This is what we have: west, north, south. Dīśāyā hi jinka abhūṣaṇa hai. Dīśāya hi jinka ambar hai, vohen Śiva. Dīgambarāya, Shiva, yekasvarūpāya, jathā dharāya, pinā kastāya. Oh, God Shiva, you are so divine, you are great. How you look? He was describing all his body, and then he writes this, Śaṅkarācārya. This is a poem or slogan, and in a very short way, a very simple way, everybody can repeat. He says that he repeats like five crore, job million, or... Not millions, more millions, trillions, five crore—you can calculate, you had a mathematics teacher. Millions, mantra five hundred million times fifteen million. So, that way it describes in the Purāṇa. It’s mentioning that if we do human that kind of anuṣṭhāna, Japa anuṣṭhāna, but we need such, what are called, instructions. When and how, and which time to do. So without instructions, there is no need to practice in the beginning. It needs a long period to make this whole anuṣṭhāna. So this is the pañcākṣara mantra, so this is very good to learn and repeat, and also to worship Lord Śiva. He is singing many, many times, also in Shivaratri time, "Om Namah Śivāya, Om Namah Śivāya" mantra, this is. So, this is when they sing, also they are joining the other, the Shiva holy places. So, Śiva is also in the holy places? Om Namah Śivāy, Om Namah Śivāy, Har Har Bhūle Namah Śivāy, Om Namah Śivāy, Namah Śivāy, Har Har Bole Namah Śivāy, Om Namah Śivāy, Om Namah Śivāy, Har Har Bole Namah Śivāy, Śiv Jatā Dharāye, Śiv Jatā Dharāye, Har Har Bole Namah Śivāy, Śiva Jatā Dharāye. Har har bole, Namaḥ Śivāya. Om Namaḥ Śivāya. Om Namaḥ Śivāya. Har har bole, Namaḥ Śivāya. Om Namaḥ Śivāya, Namaḥ Śivāya. Har har bole, Namaḥ Śivāya. Śiva Gaṅgā dharāye, Śiva Gaṅgā dharāye. Har Har Bole, Namaḥ Śivāya Gaṅgā Dharāya, Har Har Bole, Namaḥ Śivāya... Thank you.
