Praṇām Swāmījī, and praṇām and hari om to everybody here, to brothers and sisters. I think we are really lucky ones because we have the possibility to be now with Swāmījī. We know we cannot really grow up without the help of Swāmījī. But all of us, we have the longing, a strong longing for this. And everybody is struggling through life in a different way because karmas are different. And Swāmījī is, how to say, a harbor for us where we can find peace and spiritual vibrations and knowledge. Swāmījī is for us an incarnation of God, I would say. And I think you think in the same way. Like I often think, what would be with me if I would not have met Swāmījī? I think I would just do everything that’s stupid and that is taking me away from myself. And that’s also very important, that we really follow Swāmījī, not only to go to the seminars. It’s very important to live like this. To live? To live? To live? To live, okay. Sorry for my English, but I’m not used to speaking English. But I think you understand, because I’m sure you have the same longing, and you are also trying every day to live like Swāmījī is telling us. And also, it’s very important. Sometimes it’s quite hard to follow Gurupārkā, and these are mostly small things where we are struggling. But still, it’s very important always to try again and again. And every day is a new day, and every day we can try anew to be as we should be. Yes, and I wish you a very nice time with Swāmījī, a spiritual time, but I think we have it in each case. I wish you a beautiful time with Swāmījī, a spiritual time, and I think we have it anyway. Many blessings for Guru Pūrṇimā. Always we have between nice, it’s called, good programs, good speakers. There are many great speakers here. But it’s not only great speakers, but also those who have been with me for a long time and have gone through many, many experiences. To follow the Guruvākyam up and down, when sometimes it’s there and sometimes it’s here, and then a long time straight, and we have... So, I have a long, long time disciple, more than 30, I think 35 or something, very dear to me and have dedicated life for Mahāprabhujī’s light. You know that with all disciples, the Master has a family relation. So when you have grandchildren, children means not that you are only a grandfather; I am also a grandfather. And that all children run to me, you know. They are like coming to the grand-grand. I am a great-grandfather already. So I will give the mic to one of our very dear sisters, Jyoti from Koprivince. She will tell something. On the occasion of Guru Pūrṇimā, yes? The life with Gurudev. I’m sorry, I will speak in Czech because in English I wouldn’t be able to say a word. It is a very difficult task that Swāmījī gave me, and I wasn’t prepared for it at all. I often sing a bhajan which says, "Thank you, Lord, for protecting us and for taking away our sorrows." And while thinking, I think of Swāmījī because I know that without him, my life would be completely different. Swāmījī can see through me, like into a well. And he knows that I’m not the perfect disciple, that often I’m up and often down, and sometimes even against. But I’m lucky, very lucky in my life, that I live together with Turīyānand Luděk, and in critical moments he keeps me together. So I would like to thank for all the protection which we’ve got from Swāmījī. And I know that the whole family, the whole white family has the protection. We’ve got two daughters, and one has four children and the other three children, and it is like Swāmījī said that he is a grandfather for us, and it’s really worth it to follow the path. It’s important to follow the path of Swāmījī, and I would suggest that you should keep the path. It’s in the beginning, it’s about enthusiasm, but what counts is keeping the path for a long time, at least 30 years. That is up and down. And now the Guru Pūrṇimā program begins. And always, there are juniors and seniors, and it is good to be between. So now, we will begin with mantras from the Vedas and Upaniṣads. Svastivācan, and we’ll do our Swāmī Avatārapurījī. And we’ll do our Swāmī Avatārapurījī slowly, slowly... slowly.

Praṇām Swāmījī, Hari Om, all brothers and sisters here and around the world. We are all very touched on this day that we can be in the presence of Swāmījī, and through the media, we are all connected. I’m with Swāmījī nearly 34 years, and we started as a very small group. We have been in our classes four persons, in the satsaṅg ten persons. And now, millions and millions of people are looking around the world. So for me, it is very, very touching, because you know, I never, not in a past life, not in this life, and not in any other life, will I find a person like Swāmījī. Not because of the knowledge of the Sanskrit and the Upaniṣads, but of the knowledge and the greatness and the light of his heart. If we say God is love and love is God, then Swāmījī is love and Swāmījī is God in this way. I saw so many people and bhaktas coming and going. And whatever happened, Swāmījī gave the blessing to them. And he says, "The only thing I want for him or her is that he or she is happy." Božský otec. If you allow me to give you a message, yes. So, you know, this morning the sun is shining. And after long days and long weeks, it’s the first day that the sun is really shining. And where is the sun? There is no darkness. A to je mistr. We are lives and lives. We were walking in the darkness. With our karmas, and inside of our karmas. But then the master, informally Swāmījī, came and was just opening one light, one candle maybe. And immediately, the light of knowledge, of truth, of who I am, came. And I want to remind you on this day that through Swāmījī, the Śiva Śakti is working through our lineage. First was Śiva, and he created the universe and the first of our lineage, Śrī Alak Purījī, who is present in this moment and here with us, like all other. Masters are present here, as well as Swāmījī. He is residing in the Himalayas. And he gave his light and blessing and knowledge to Śrī Devapurījī. Who gave the light, knowledge, and the blessings to guide and lead others to Śrī Mahāprabhujī. And Mahāprabhujī is very dear and is inside of Swāmījī all the time. And he gave the light, the knowledge, and the blessings to Śrī Madhavānanda, Holy Gurujī. And many of us, we knew Holy Gurujī in his wonderful aspect of light and peace. Which you were spreading in the moment you saw him, you have been with him. And Holī Gurujī gave the light, the blessing, and the wisdom to Swāmījī. To give liberation to the bhaktas. And for this, Swāmījī is working day and night, and every cell of his blood is dedicated to this mission. And why I tell you this is to make you aware that we are not only here on the meadow, but the divine forces, starting from Śiva, are coming through us, through Swāmījī, and coming to each and every one of you. So if the sun is shining strong like this, you can make one thing: you can sit in the sun, and you can feel the sun. You can develop, you can grow. You can go in the shadow, then not so much will happen. You can hide behind the tree, then little is functioning. And you can make a hole under the earth and cover yourself. It’s your choice. It is always our choice, only our choice and decision, how we approach a guru. And how much more open we are, as more sun, as more possibility of spiritual development is possible. So please let us be aware of the blessing we have, to be directly connected to the source of the light through Śiva and through Alak Purījī, through the three Alak Purījī Siddhārthit Guru Paramparā. And I would request you that we sing all this wonderful Vedic prayer, "Asato mā sad gamaya," and this we dedicate to you, Swāmījī. "Please lead us from the unreality to the reality. Tamaso mā jyotir gamaya. Lead us from the darkness to the light. Mṛtyor mā amṛtam gamaya." And lead us from mortality to immortality. This is the most difficult one, that’s why I couldn’t speak. Sit down. It must be announced what is going to happen. So, who is the protocol person? What? Is going to happen now? They don’t know. They just come like a rabbit going to the carrot. Now we continue in our program with the Vedic ceremony, pūjā, to celebrate and to honor the Master. So first we’ll give a flower mala and a shawl, guru pūjā, making a guru pūjā, and our sādhvīs and sādhus will make this celebration. So first, Sādhvī Pārvatī will give the mālā and Sādhvī Anubhavījī will give the shawl. We’ll give the shawl a sign that we take care of the master. And Swāmī Vivek Purī will start now to make a special pūjā for Caraṇa Pūjā. We put water, flower, sandalwood, tilak on the toe of Swāmījī, and after this we will have a light pūjā with light and on this tālī of the pūjā. There is a fruit, a sign of achievement. There is a little statue of Gaṇeśa, who is protecting the beginning and from everything. There is Agarbatī to destroy negative energies. There is sweet as a prasāda. There are also nuts as a prasāda. And flowers. It will be caraṇa pūjā. We wash Swāmījī’s feet with milk and water, then put flowers, milk, and then water, then again milk, then again water, and then we tilt it on the toes, and then we’ll put flowers on Swāmījī and chant Svasti Vājen. nějaké mantry. Is there anybody who knows how to make caraṇa pūjā? You don’t know. You know. Okay, Avatār Purī knows. You don’t know? You don’t know? Then you should come.

Vishwa Guru Mahāmaṇḍeśwar Swāmī Maheśwar Nandapurījī Mahārāja Kī. Dear brothers and sisters, I am happy that you came here to Mahāprabhujī’s ashram on Guru Pūrṇimā. We are lucky to be with Swāmījī here. We pray to Mahāprabhujī that he blesses all of us for Guru Pūrṇimā, for our development. You are the youngest one, but seniors are also learning from you now. And now, Sādhvī Dayā will give to Swāmījī a dress, a sign that we disciples take care of the master. Yes, it’s a token of respect and devotion to Swāmījī. And Satvijitāya Kamal will also give a bread donation for devotion to Swāmījī. Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān and Kī. Yes, everyone has to learn new traditions, you know. You don’t take care of the master; the master takes care of you. But, as a token of devotion, respect, and thankfulness, we offer something. Can we dress or donate flowers, malas? At the same time, I would ask the ashram members, I don’t know who is president of the Czech Union of Yoga and Deadlife, and the manager or director of the Strelky, now they will come and give also the token of respect to our all sannyāsī disciples, so I think we go. Again, number-wise, who was the first sannyāsī? Hṛdayakamal was the first. First was first was the Śāntī, and they are Pārvatījī. And then our Anubhavījī does Hṛdayakamal, and Then is coming the Sādhvī Dayā, and also the Rukmaṇī, Ānandī, not the last but least, one male also, Swāmī Vivek Purījī. And our junior Swāmī Avatar Purījī, also on behalf of the organization, because they are not prepared, so I’m taking over. Mahāprabhujī, blessings to everybody in the whole world. Who is looking in the webcast? All sannyāsīs, everybody. And Yamunā, Spain, Mantra Purīdhī, and everybody. My praṇām to everybody. Děkuju. Mike, other Mike. So, take care of the things. sadṛśam tasmād yādṛk lakṣaṇam ekam nityam vimalāchalam sarvādhiṣakṣibhūtam bhavātītam mātriguṇarahitam satgurutvaṁ namāmy aham. Oṁ Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ... But in India there is more sun than here. How do you survive in India? Our adoration to Siddha Pīṭha, universally worshipped, the Lord of the Lords, Śiva Svarūpa, Alak Purījī Bhagavān, Bhagavān Alak Purījī and Devpurījī Bhagavān, Kailāś Āśram, Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ. Mahāprabhujī Khatūbālī, Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī Khatūbālī, and our beloved Satgurudev Hindū Dharm Samrāṭ Śrī Svāmī Madhavānandajī, and our beloved Satgurudev Śrī Svāmī Madhavānandajī, at their holy lotus feet, my millions of praṇāms. And prayers. On this divine occasion of Guru Pūrṇimā, Pūrṇimā means completeness, and the Brahman, the self, is complete. There is a mantra called Pūrṇamadaḥ Pūrṇamidam. He is complete. Whatever comes from the complete is also complete, and we take out of the complete; still, it remains complete. So that is the significance of the Pūrṇimā. Guru is the "Tamso Ma Jyotir Gamaya," who leads us from darkness to the light. Guru is ignorance, Moha, attachment, darkness of ignorance, where there is a calm, krodha, madha, lobha, moha, and "ru" is light, clearness, purity, love, truth, and wisdom, so "gu" is darkness. And Rūḥ is light. And Guru is that one who leads us from darkness to the light of the wisdom. From mortality to immortality. So this day is a very significant day. And also, it is the birthday of the great sage Bhagavān Vyāsa, which we call Vedavyāsa. And it is the day when, for the first time on this planet, the sunlight, the sun ray, came. When first the earth was brought out of the ocean. God, Viṣṇu, took the form of the Varāhī. Out of 24 incarnations, one was also the Varāha Avatāra, in the form of the pig. On his strong tooth, which he had, and on this, he balanced the earth. And brought out of the ocean. God incarnates in many different forms. There is a Kaśyapa avatāra that is incarnated as a turtle. If you look to the ancient mythology of Europe, the Celtic religion, the Old Greek, Egypt, these all were connected to Sanātana Dharma, and in some of the ancient mythological history remains now in the form of some statues and paintings, so it is that God or great divine energy can incarnate half as a human and half as an animal. They had a lot of knowledge at that time, the people of Sanātana Dharma. They were connected with nature, and the science, the knowledge they had, was great. For example, the pyramids in Egypt were built by those Sanātanīs for Sanātana Dharma. And, you know, the Hindu Kush mountains, which is thousands of kilometers long. So there were many ṛṣis living. Many, many ṛṣis were living, that’s why it’s called the Hindu Kush. And also, you know, in Russia, so once it was a research work done, and one of my disciples, Dr. Vera from Prague was reading, and in the magazine they told of research work: the Russian word comes from ṛṣi. She read in some professional journal that the word Russia originally meant ṛṣi. And in the Purāṇas come the stories where Tashkent also had been a very historical place in Vedic time. Sanātana dharma. Fire has a great meaning. And initiation. So you see that in Christianity there is also that same tradition, the same tradition, the initiation. And with the water, Holy water, when you enter the church, you have chalamrit, holy water, and also baptizing with the water, also holy water, in the name of the Holy Father, the Son, the Spirit, the Jesus who got the initiation and Abhiṣeka in the river by his master, his guru, John. Also, Agrabathis, the fire ceremony, yajña, but slowly, slowly minimized and remained only symbolic things. But Vedic dharma kept this tradition alive, and so when the Varāhī avatāra brought the planet out of the water, and the first time this planet got direct sunlight, that is also real Guru Pūrṇimā. That means from darkness to the light. So Guru Pūrṇimā has a great meaning. And not only for humans, but also for vegetation and for animals too. According to the science of Vedas and Yugas, the Vedic mathematics, whatever is happening and changing in the universe, in different sun systems, among the planets and stars, all this happens through that divine energy called Guru Tattva. And also when yugas change, that doesn’t change only on our planet, it changes an entire part of our universe. It is not that it will only happen on the earth. It will happen from top to down. When you had here the other system, the socialistic system, it changed from down to top, and when they changed again to this system, the democracy, it’s from top to down again. People are the same. People are the same, and also the public is the same. And the country is the same. So it is things changing how you think. It is a theater playing. Like you are on the stage, and now you are playing a particular part. So you are a farmer, and that is a farmer’s wife, and there are farmer’s children. You are a king. One is playing as a cat, and another player is a dog. So, time being, you think you are a dog, and you think like a cat. When the game is over. Drama is over, you wash your old makeup, and you come out of the theater as the original person: Chanka, Anicka, Panicka, Tanicka, Yoska, Pochka, Toska. No, so is this so? Politics is also a theater, and one comes and another goes, and one wins and another goes. So, similarly, the entire creation. It is a kind of game, and how is it possible that you are involved in your politics? It means you live in this kind of game, and you have to follow what law is. Similarly, there’s a cosmic law. Every planet, every element has to follow the cosmic law. And this solar system has to follow another cosmic law as well. And finally, the control or maintaining or liberating is that Brahman, the Supreme. You can say Śiva as a consciousness. Trinity: Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva—all three are one. Brahmā is now a holy father, and Brahmā is a holy father and Prajāpita, also the father of the humans and all others, so Holy Father is a Brahman of Brahma. As long as these yugas will exist, Brahma has many, many satyugas and many other yugas too. Then his term will be finished. Brahma will get old, and then things will change, and a new Brahma will come. But until one Brahmā will change, we don’t know how many trillions of times we will be born. You know, to be born and to die, how much suffering. That’s why there’s one called the bypass, a direct channel with some protection that you can go directly. And that’s called mokṣa or liberation. And that direct shortcut, that bypass, is a human life. You have a chance and the protection of Gurudeva and that knowledge. So it’s the same Svayambhū Śiva who will come and manifest, create the Viṣṇu and Śiva, where Brahmā, so Viṣṇu is protector, maintaining all. He’s the best management director, so when you are making a management course, you should air the god Viṣṇu. So this is all management. Philosophy, the thoughts, thinking is coming from the trinity. So Vishnu is the Lord of sustainability, and the word sustainability comes from God Vishnu. And what is the United Nations and the Earth Charter? They are struggling to realize sustainable development in the world. So sustainable development we can only learn through that spirituality if we follow. Because God himself is sustainable, and Brahma is the creator. So, this is every season changing, many births and deaths. Clouds come and go. Rain stops. Everything. So all this is created by Brahma. Brahma creates, and all that is maintained by Vishnu. Vishnu maintains it, but Brahma changes it, and Shiva liberates. That liberation means, and for many humans, even they don’t understand what it is, and it is not easy to come through, but people like you all. Have you been overthinking and understood what it means to come out of this theater? Otherwise, all are the artists of the circus. A tiger is an artist. An elephant is also an artist. A horse. Camels. Donkeys, monkeys, they are all artists of the circus. But to become an artist is not easy. You are tortured. You know, the mighty lion will not do from free will. Our mighty tiger will not just follow your instruction to jump through the fire. He would love to jump on you, but that fear, the pain, the torture... and if he or she, lion or tiger, will run away from the circus and go to the forest, will be the happiest one. And so you are all those tortured. That artist of the circus came to Tao in the freedom of spirituality, Sanātana Dharma. And therefore, Guru Dev, finally I took shelter at Thy holy feet. Now, free me from my sufferings. So, entire mankind, all is connected to that oneness. After, according to the climate, mentality, things change. So this kind of celebration has always been everywhere. And so, because the Varāha Avatāra was like this big pig in the forest, you know, and maybe something connected with Islam. Islam believes that. And in Islam, they do not allow killing pigs and eating pork. Like Hindus, they don’t eat cow, should not be. And thanks to the Islam people, they are very strict and very conscious that no one dare to give them or kill the pig there. And in Christianity, it was completely prohibited: doves shall not kill, not only cow and pig. But all, we are not strong enough to follow those holy words of the holy book. This is the difference between Islam, for me, and the Hindus or Christians and Jews. That people, they are very conscious, and they follow strictly their rules of the religion, Islam. So, anyhow, we are coming back to that point. So, Guru Pūrṇimā today, and because this year was the 13th month, it means in this 365, 63, or 70 days, there were four hours of prayer, thirteen full moons. And when the thirteenth full moon is there, then it’s called a big mass or extra month. Now the season will follow that, so everything is delayed in season according to season, where the monsoon rain should come at the right time. But in Europe, we are used to fixing the date finished. And sometimes we are wondering why on Christmas Day there is no snow. So, because this is 13 months, but this Guru Pūrṇimā also has a great meaning today, and something great is happening now in the universe, and so we are together. And next full moon, Guru Pūrṇimā, I will be in Jādan, India. So to all dear spiritual seekers and devotees of Gurudev, you have the freedom to choose which guru you believe in. So it does not matter from which master you are a disciple, I bless you in the name of your master and in the name of our Siddha Peter that today, on this auspicious occasion of Guru Pūrṇimā, the Gurudev should bless you with good health, divine protection, and spiritual development. Take one saṅkalpa today, make a vow. Spiritual, positive, that you will increase your sādhanā from today, not decrease. If you were doing only five malas, then take a saṅkalpa today that you will now do six malas every day. And if you have a problem with fasting, then you say, "Today I will fast." So make a saṅkalpa and keep to it, and your saṅkalpa will come true. So to all our dear devotees around the world and all who are sitting here, I pray to Mahāprabhujī for your good health, spiritual development, happiness, and divine light. And to all the devotees who are sitting here and who are watching us through the webcast, I pray to Mahāprabhujī for your light and blessing during this Guru Pūrṇimā. Jai Dev Puruṣa Mahādeva, Mādhava Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān, Sanātana Dharma, Śānti Śānti.
