00:15Jai Gurudev, everybody!
00:17Jai Gurudev, everybody!
00:18So, I present to you Vitha Rukmini,
00:26Shri Nivistha,
00:28which means the sustainer of life.
00:33So, Bhagavan and Rukmini Devi,
00:38which is the essence of our life,
00:42the essence of all life actually,
00:46and here Bhagavan reminds that
00:50it is only Him, you know,
00:54that this life itself has been given
00:58only as service to Him.
01:03How fortunate, you know, we were talking earlier,
01:07how fortunate it is to become a bhakta,
01:10to become a devotee of the Supreme Lord Himself.
01:18Because you can become somebody in this world,
01:23but bhakta is very rare,
01:26very difficult actually,
01:30and especially to serve Shri Hari himself.
01:35And today He has graced you all and blessed you all.
01:41and you see how His big eyes are looking at you.
01:46Beware!
01:51But He is merciful, you know.
01:54Bhagavan is so merciful.
01:56We see that in the life,
02:01how He interacts with His people.
02:06That is a different,
02:09like we were talking about the ras, no?
02:13Who was talking?
02:14Preeto was talking about the ras, no?
02:16Oh.
02:17Mayuran.
02:18Mayuran.
02:19Yes.
02:21Only a bhakta can understand that,
02:24you know.
02:24That ras which derives from bhakti,
02:30no one can understand that.
02:32What is happening inside of you,
02:34only you can understand.
02:36As much as you can tell somebody else about it,
02:39they will not understand.
02:41It's like,
02:43you are telling a blind person,
02:45look at this beautiful sunset.
02:48That poor person has never seen sunset.
02:52And probably,
02:54he will never have seen sunset.
02:56So, in his mind he can just imagine.
03:01But that ras which bhavan makes you all feel,
03:05you know,
03:06just a glimpse of it itself,
03:08when you all were dancing,
03:11you know,
03:13vittal, vittal.
03:16What joy there was, no?
03:19That's why I said,
03:20in the darbar of vittala,
03:23there is only happiness.
03:27There is joy,
03:29there is laughing,
03:30there is dancing.
03:33It's not,
03:34you see, our God is not a boring God.
03:39It's a God which has life,
03:44and He knows how to enjoy life.
03:47Because this is the most precious thing.
03:50Nothing else is more precious.
03:51We value things outside,
03:55and we say,
03:56that is precious.
03:57But actually they are not precious.
04:00They are from here,
04:01they will stay here.
04:03The most precious is
04:07that life itself,
04:09you know.
04:09And Bhagavan said,
04:10that life which I have given you,
04:13get to know,
04:15firstly that life,
04:17get to know who I am,
04:19and get to know how you can come to me.
04:22Three things.
04:24Know yourself,
04:26get to know who Bhagavan is,
04:28and how you can attain to His grace.
04:32We can't.
04:34We can just do our own sadhana,
04:36we can just do our own
04:41duty in life,
04:44but the rest
04:46is our duty
04:47that will call upon that grace,
04:49no?
04:51We have seen it
04:52why He came to Pundalik.
04:54We see how He went to
04:57Savatamali.
05:00and like that,
05:01countless of saints
05:03have darshan of Bhagavan himself.
05:07But what is the most important thing
05:09is that bhakti itself,
05:12that dedication, that love itself.
05:15Because without love
05:17you can't know Him.
05:20Without love,
05:22bhakti will never grow.
05:23Without bhakti, love will never grow.
05:26But bhakti nowadays,
05:27people have it in so many ways,
05:29you know.
05:31Bhakti means to dedicate oneself,
05:34no?
05:35How
05:36the world is dedicating
05:38to so many things outside.
05:40You are dedicating to the wrong things outside.
05:44You are dedicating to your,
05:45you are a slave to your work.
05:49Doesn't mean that you should not work.
05:53In Shandila Bhakti Sutra,
05:55Shandila Rishi said,
05:56no, Bhavan said that
05:57you have to work.
05:58In Gita, Bhavan said,
05:59yes, you have to do your dharma.
06:00You have to work.
06:01But the fruit of your action
06:04depends not on you.
06:07Do you know what is tomorrow?
06:09You don't know what is tomorrow.
06:10You can presume
06:12what will be tomorrow.
06:13tomorrow.
06:15So, like that,
06:17he said,
06:18how many people
06:19are entangled
06:20in misery in that way?
06:24They are worried
06:25about tomorrow.
06:27A tomorrow which
06:28you don't know whether
06:29this will happen
06:30or it will not happen.
06:34We don't know.
06:37And that is,
06:40by living now,
06:42enjoying
06:43his presence,
06:44this is the best of all,
06:46you know.
06:47That joy that you are
06:49feeling inside of you,
06:51not everybody will understand that.
06:56We've seen many people.
06:58There are many people,
07:00come,
07:00for sure they are looking at you
07:02in a very strange way right now.
07:05But they can't comprehend
07:10the heart of a devotee,
07:11because only him,
07:12you yourself don't comprehend
07:14your own heart.
07:16You know,
07:16what is happening inside of you,
07:18probably you are thinking,
07:19I am going crazy.
07:22How many of you thought that?
07:27So, everybody in their life,
07:28you know,
07:29when it comes to a certain point,
07:31you think,
07:31yes,
07:31yes,
07:31I am going crazy.
07:34But we have to be mad
07:35to love him.
07:36That's where madly
07:38in love come from,
07:39no?
07:41You can't love him
07:43superficially,
07:44you know.
07:45Either you give
07:48fully yourself
07:49or you don't.
07:51There is no
07:53partial.
07:54There is no,
07:56oh,
07:56I love him ten percent,
07:57but he will reciprocate
08:01also
08:04what you have inside,
08:05because he is living inside of your heart,
08:07you know.
08:11That's why he demands
08:13full surrender.
08:15shanagati
08:16is full surrender.
08:17It's not
08:17just
08:18a word,
08:20you know,
08:20it's not just
08:23something that,
08:24ah, okay,
08:25bhaktaya has a,
08:26it's only for
08:27some people only.
08:28no,
08:29bhavan gives to everybody,
08:31but not everybody
08:32can receive that.
08:34He calls everybody,
08:36not everybody can hear him,
08:37no?
08:38When bhavan was playing the flute
08:41in, ah,
08:43Vrindavan,
08:45from wherever he was playing the flute,
08:48the gopi will hear.
08:51Vrindavan is not a small place.
08:54You've been to Vrindavan,
08:55you've seen how big it is,
08:57no?
08:58So, wherever bhavan was playing the flute,
09:02the gopi, wherever they are,
09:04because they were so in tune with him,
09:08they will hear the flute.
09:11Where did they hear the flute?
09:12Here?
09:13No.
09:15They hear the flute
09:17from inside of their heart.
09:19In the same flute,
09:21bhavan has called you.
09:26that's why you have come.
09:29For some,
09:31he has put the seeds,
09:32maybe now,
09:33you have to do some job
09:35to purify yourself,
09:37to cleanse yourself,
09:38so that that
09:39seeds of bhakti
09:42may germinate and grow.
09:46maybe it is not now,
09:47maybe it is in ten years,
09:48maybe it is
09:50at the end of your life,
09:51even if you remember him,
09:53you will be safe.
09:56Maybe a thought passed
09:57on your dead bed,
09:58you know,
09:59ah, I went to this crazy place,
10:02you know,
10:03and they were all singing,
10:04vittal, vittal,
10:05vittal.
10:15What a grace,
10:16you know,
10:17because it said even
10:19you have to have great punya
10:21to remember bhavan.
10:22You can't remember him just like that.
10:25If you have not trained yourself
10:28to remember him,
10:30don't think that at the end of life
10:32you will remember him.
10:33But,
10:34for him
10:36to call you here means
10:40it is not random.
10:44So,
10:46he wants to pour out this grace to you,
10:48he wants to continuously remind you
10:51that love is the greatest,
10:54you know.
10:56Without that love,
10:58you will not be here.
11:01And because he has seen something
11:03which you don't see inside of you,
11:07and you have responded to that,
11:11you could have been easily somewhere else,
11:15but you are not.
11:18You are here.
11:19you are here.
11:22How many of you were thinking,
11:24ah,
11:24this weekend we will have a nice weekend somewhere,
11:27holiday?
11:32At least one person.
11:40maybe you are not saying it.
11:42But it is so,
11:44like I was saying to you,
11:45how,
11:45how everything is planned,
11:47you know,
11:47right,
11:48on the thirteen itself,
11:52the ashadhi,
11:53varkari,
11:54you know,
11:55they start
11:56to walk towards Pandarpur.
12:01So,
12:01imagine,
12:02together with you all chanting,
12:04vittal, vittal,
12:05there is,
12:06millions of people,
12:07right now,
12:09walking to Pandarpur,
12:10chanting,
12:11vittal, vittal.
12:13You imagine,
12:14what is this making into this world?
12:17You see,
12:17we can't change the world.
12:19As much as we say,
12:20yes,
12:21we can change this world,
12:23we can't change the world.
12:26Many have tried to change the world.
12:31Nobody was successful of changing the world.
12:35Even in this country,
12:37this,
12:37there was some fifty years ago,
12:39seventy years ago,
12:39there was a man who wanted to change the world.
12:42But he was not successful.
12:46like him,
12:47there were many before.
12:52And we can think that
12:54for sure they have something,
12:57but you can't.
12:59The world can change only
13:03through the holy name only.
13:05The vibration that,
13:07which everybody is singing,
13:09vittal, vittal.
13:12you know what is happening to this world?
13:14What is happening to this universe itself?
13:18And that is
13:19the grace of Bhagavan himself.
13:24So,
13:25for now,
13:27today,
13:28the prayer is finished.
13:30What will we do?
13:31Sayanarti.
13:32Sayanarti.
13:34Sayanarti.
13:37Ah,
13:38they are going to sleep.
13:42Then you also can go to sleep.
13:46And tomorrow morning,
13:48it will start at four o'clock in the morning,
13:52to wake Bhagavan up.
13:55Suprabhatam.
14:01They are happy.
14:02They will come tomorrow morning.

14:18say thank you very much,

17:45So,
17:47a little,
17:49just to present you,
17:50the deity,
17:51you know,
17:51Shubhivishta,
17:53Vithal Rukmini.
17:54Like,
17:55Swami Madhava,
17:56yesterday,
17:56in his talk,
17:57he was telling,
18:00you know,
18:01our plan was,
18:02to have the temple,
18:04ready,
18:04in 5 years.
18:075 years, yes.
18:08Yeah.
18:09But,
18:10Bhagawan had his own plan.
18:11No?
18:12Okay.
18:13Only one year.
18:16.
18:20I remember,
18:22when,
18:25Swami Madhava said,
18:265 years,
18:27I said,
18:27okay, fine,
18:27I am going to order the deity.
18:30So,
18:31straight away,
18:31I called,
18:32and I ordered the deity.
18:33.
18:36Look how majestic they look.
18:39You know?
18:46Really the king and queen of Dwarka,
18:49you know?
18:52The Lakshminarayan deity was in Springen,
18:56because when we ordered the deity for Springen,
19:00the Lakshminarayana also was there.
19:03Then we changed.
19:05This is actually was the,
19:07how to say,
19:07the deity of Lakshminarayana,
19:09which was planned to put,
19:10be put in Springen.
19:13But Bhagavan again decided different.
19:15.
19:17So, he is here.
19:18And the Gayatri Devi,
19:21here,
19:22this is Gayatri Devi,
19:23because,
19:24this Swami Madhava,
19:27Ishtadev,
19:28you know?
19:29And,
19:30he has been serving,
19:32Gayatri Devi in Springen,
19:35and here,
19:36his service will carry on.
19:39Actually,
19:40if I can interrupt you this slowly.
19:42He,
19:43he sent me,
19:44five pictures of different Gayatri's,
19:46to choose one for the altar.
19:49And it starts with,
19:50that in Springen,
19:51I asked him,
19:53oh,
19:53let's do Gayatri on the main altar.
19:56And he said,
19:57Gayatri can never be on the main altar.
20:01And when he said,
20:02do ashram?
20:03I said,
20:04okay,
20:05and what will be the deity?
20:06Sure,
20:07we take Gayatri on the main altar.
20:09He said,
20:11okay.
20:12And then he sent me,
20:13five different pictures,
20:14to choose one of the Gayatri's.
20:16And I said,
20:17oh,
20:17this is very nice.
20:18And he said,
20:19yes, okay,
20:20and ordered a different one.
20:22.
20:22.
20:26Yeah,
20:27true.
20:29.
20:29Fine.
20:33.
20:40.
20:41It's true.
20:42.
20:47.
20:48.
20:48And the entrance is Lord Datatreya.
20:50Normally Lord Datatreya have,
20:53three heads,
20:54but here he has only one.
20:57So as original,
20:59when his first incarnation,
21:03you know,
21:04it is the Datatreya.
21:06And you will see a cow behind the Datatreya,
21:09this is Bhoomi Devi.
21:11And the four little dogs symbolize the four Vedas.
21:20Garuda,
21:21we didn't take a typical Garuda from India,
21:27but because I wanted,
21:28first I wanted to have a Garuda which is very ferocious.
21:33Because I went to Bali and I saw the Garuda there.
21:36They are very wild.
21:39And I tried to explain to the man how to make,
21:42and Garuda came in that way.
21:45.
21:46Very sweet and,
21:46and,
21:47I'll say.
21:49.
21:49Not either,
21:50no,
21:50I'll tell you something, you know,
21:52Garuda,
21:52first you have Darshan of Garuda,
21:53then you come to Bhagavan, no.
21:54First you have to see Garuda and then you get scared.
21:59.
22:00.
22:00You know, you feel that all your sins that you have done,
22:03have to stay there.
22:04.
22:06You can't come here.
22:08.
22:09But one is merciful again.
22:12.
22:13It's so sweet this Garuda,
22:15because when you stand in front of him,
22:18you will see that his eyes are not looking at you.
22:22His eyes from there,
22:24is directly to his beloved Lord.
22:27This is how Bhakta should be on the spiritual path, you know.
22:32With such laser gaze,
22:35they should focus upon Bhagavan,
22:39not wandering around, you know.
22:43.
22:44Then you have Lord Shiva,
22:47first the shivling was here,
22:50then we extend the family a little bit more,
22:54Kamakshi Devi,
22:56Kartike in Ganesha.
22:59.
23:00.
23:01.
23:02.
23:02.
23:02.
23:02.
23:02.
23:02.
23:03.
23:03.
23:03.
23:03.
23:04.
23:04.
23:06.
23:08How many times back? I think it was from Poland, or from Czech, so Slovakia, somewhere.
23:15All the same.
23:19If you are here?
23:21Yes.
23:22Yes, no.
23:24No.
23:25She's not here.
23:25She's not here. And that devotee made the deity of Mahavatar Babaji,
23:30and this is the deity which is there.
23:33And then you have Sri Ramanujacharya and the alwar.
23:37This is also a beautiful story.
23:39Yes.
23:40Because this alwar was not meant to be here.
23:45It was meant to be in the dining room.
23:47You will notice that there are some poles up there,
23:50and they have made nicely.
23:53And one once ago when I was here, I said,
23:56ah, no, no, no, no, no.
24:00The alwar is behind Sri Ramanujacharya,
24:03because they came first, you know, and they always stand behind the acharya, you know,
24:09and there you have Sri Ramanujacharya.
24:12And last, this is the mantra which Bhagavan Vithal gave me two years ago,
24:25Sri Ramanujacharya.
24:26Sri Ramanujacharya.
24:30This is the vigraha of Ramanujacharya.
24:35And Ramanujacharya is Lord Jagannath, this is the Lord of the Universe,
24:40you know, holding the Shankha and P000 in His hand.
24:43So, you see there, it's vityala.
24:47I will ask Prithu to explain a little bit
24:50you wanted to talk about that vigraha, please.
25:21Thank you very much.
