Though the language of the body can di"er, the language of vibrations is universal.

or it has no religion and no relations. )ou are then &ust a human bound by humanity

and the essence of purity. The more one puries and sancties oneself, the better a

medium one can be. !nd hence, the more submergence one will have with nature.

!nd theres no better way of accomplishing this than through meditation.

! 3ood can get submerged into the ocean when such a strong medium comes

along. (I had transmission issues again or couldnt hear properly for the ne$t point

completely. ut this is what I came out with. If someone else can ll in this gap,

please ll it. The essence though seemed to be about how prayer heightens ones

feelings and how those feelings towards something can change an outcome'.

+hen smses and prayers were registered (at %amarpans 45 hour prayer line', no

storms happened. (I think hes referring to some impending storm which got

subverted because of peoples prayers'. !ll this happened due to your sincere and

deep feelings. Good results can come about from nothing but &ust sincere and deep

feelings.

German doctors and 6ain ascetics have a common problem. Theyre in the line

where they constantly need to touch others with their hands. I have said to both

that they need to protect themselves from the e"ects of this. To the 6ain ascetic who

does so by placing his hand on top of someones head for blessing, I have said the

following. efore physically giving your blessings, rst bless with a prayer or a

feeling of prayer so that no adverse e"ects from the one youre blessing occur. or

the doctors, I have also said to pray rst for the well7being of your patient before

physically touching them so that no adverse e"ects from the patients will get

absorbed.

+hen in Germany, someone asked me a new 8uestion. I like it when someone asks

me a new 8uestion. The person said, I have a meditation cd that I listen to. !nd

when I do, I become thoughtless. %o then why do I need a guru0

%ee, we listen to music from indi lms which we en&oy but no imprint from it

remains. lassical music on the contrary leaves a positive impact on our liver, heart

and brain. %o though his cd which was lled with sounds from nature including that

of a waterfall could still have induced thoughtlessness while youre listening to it, it

cant instill inherent traits to make it a part of you. ! living guru can instill inherent

traits to make it part of you. Thoughtlessness is the state from which you go into

meditation but is not meditation itself. )ou need a good guru to have the traitinstilled for meditating.

This time for the rst time, I passed an !rab country while on my way to Germany.

The 3ight was -umbai7!bu *habi7 erlin. I had to stop for 9 hours each way back

and forth in !bu *habi. This is a good sign that the guru energies are about to be

there because 9 hours of stay is a long time. %o some change is due to come about.

The trip to Germany was successful.

%ome of the 8uestions I was asked in Germany are 8uite similar to the ones I am

asked in India. 2ne of the things I said there was dont meditate with any

e$pectations. )ou have hobbies from which you have no e$pectations but you

continue with those hobbies anyways. +hen you play badminton, go walking or play

kabaddi (Indian sport', you feel good about it. The moment you make meditation a

hobby, youll like it. !s one consistently does something, mastery takes place.*ont start meditation with an e$pectation. Good health, inner peace, an increased

capacity to grasp something are all good bi7products of this. Im telling you this

based on my life e$perience. :ever meditate to get something or to get rid of a

problem. !s I kept meditating, I started getting good e$periences and a good state.

I never had collectivity. )ou are lucky for having it. +hether we have a good state

or not, we get access to having a good state through collectivity. -aintain what you

get. !sk yourself what your purpose is. :othing else matters. !rrangements get

made for what you need.

There is a ritish follower named Tim who came to India to interview me for a book

he was writing. e stayed in the ashram and would get to speak with me for 4 hours

everyday. e would toil through 44 hours of heat. ut he tolerated the heat because

he maintained his focus of meeting me for 4 hours everyday. !ll the other things

such as the discomfort he would have faced mattered less to him so that he could

accomplish his goal. %o remember your goal. or when you do so, the importance of

the other discomforts or stresses surrounding your goal go down. %o why not try to

learn something0 2therwise, apply to learn something so that a workshop can occur

about that thing you would like to learn.

I told my sons to put up ;4 facebook photos of this event before they go to sleep.

acebook has such good and bad aspects to it. 2ne follower from 6amnagar wrote

something in facebook and endorsed it by using my letterhead about what

haitanya -ahotsav is and why its celebrated. :ow we have feedback forms so use

these to say what you want to instead of going about matters in this way.

+hen we invoked Ganesh (the indu God is considered the remover of obstacles'

when our new facebook page was established, initially 5ce and then there would be back and forthing for

volunteers between my residence and the o>ce and 479 days would go by. :ow its

;! program for couples trying to have children who are elevated souls. %wami&i and a team

of volunteers counsel the couples on how to do so. %wami&is attention on them from

conception to delivery plays a pivotal role in this.


4/5

so easy because through whatsapp, I give answers immediately. !nd now, the

ma$imum number of deliveries is happening without the mothers having to go

through any surgery.

Its like when we act as though we are giving water to the sun though the water is

actually trickling on the ground. ut we feel we are giving it. (Its all based on yourintrinsic beliefs. %wami&is referring to a common indu ritual of people symbolically

o"ering water to the sun'. !nd I have now even said to Geeta behen (one of the

volunteers for the program' to notify me of anything important such as the delivery

no matter what time it is. ?ike it shouldnt be that someone has to wait till the

morning before saying something if something happens in the middle of the night.

!nd now I am able get messaged on whatsapp at even ;74 a.m. in the morning. I

have re8uested to be notied of a delivery no matter what time it is.

:ow there are some followers who are aiming to have a deliver y for :ov @ (%wami&i

says this with a chuckle' but dont keep e$pectations. 975 deliveries are already

happening.

1arlier, with our naming program4, 479 days would go by before things progressed

but now with whatsapp, things are getting done immediately. =eople used to feel

that only %wami&i should directly receive the guru dakshina or token9. !nd so, an

account has been opened for this. !nd now, unlike before, I get live information

about people donating money into the account and my attention brie3y goes on the

person that donated. !nd I am getting this opportunity to bless people as I read

over account details. ad there not been this guru dakshina account system, I may

not have had this opportunity to bless. (e sounded grateful in tone for what he saw

as an opportunity for blessing people'.

%o we cant operate like before. +e therefore have to move with the times. :e$t

year is the year for 6ain gurus. !s a way to conduct outreach, we are hoping to

conduct small workshops. !s per the e$perience of a 6ain monk who attended our

workshop for 6ain ascetics in !hmedabad earlier this year, a signicant change has

occurred in his practice. e mentioned how earlier when he would conduct lectures,

hardly anybody would make it to the hall. :ow since e$posure to samarpan, the hall

is almost lled. Its because he focuses on vibrations and not on books like he did

before when only 479 people would show up. I have also said to the 6ain ascetics,

meditate so much that a fast occurs naturally (rather than concertedly'.

4The naming program is when people apply to have %wami&i name a child, house or

business. =eople who apply wish for him to name it because he is knowledgeable about what

sounds or e"ects a given name may have as per traditional practices.

9In e$change for a gurus imparting of knowledge, there is a practice of giving a token

though %wami&i doesnt e$pect it. ut many people feel like giving themselves and in this

case, they didnt want to go through other people to do so.


5/5

!nushthaan (5A day period where %wami&i goes into isolation within the ashram and

people gather about for several meditation opportunities because of the intense and

magnicently high energy levels' is going to between 6an 97 eb ;B this year.

etween eb ;C74D, we are hosting workshops for 6ain ascetics. ?ocal 6ain chapters

are helping us with this and there are a limited number of applications for this.

etween 6an 97 eb 9, 6ain ascetics are also welcome to come to the ashram foranushthaan. The anushthaan period reminds one of how non7vegetarians dont eat

meat during the navratri or C day festival though they eat meat the rest of the time.

Those who are not routine in their meditations become so for 5A days when we get

access to a great collectivity. -aking people sit at home is against my nature but it

is what I have felt compelled to do. =eople wait for e$tremes to hit with reference to

the unsavory nature of a given followers behavior or actions. I re8uest everyone7

=lease inform me of things in the earlier stages so that these e$tremes are not

reached. +e dont throw people out. It takes about ;74 years for a balanced state to

return. (ence, why %wami&i may re8uest a given follower to take a back seat from

their active roles in samarpan activities and focus on meditating till theyre back on

track again'. ?ike even with regards to what happened abroad, when I asked given

people to step back, it was like rescuing a pawn in the game of chess so that they

could be protected from harm. The sooner you speak about a given incident (that

may be disturbing', the more the situation can be salvaged. !s soon as you speak

up, something can be done. or e$ample, though the 6amnagar5follower I spoke of

earlier wrote about haitanya -ahotsav very well, he shouldnt have used my

letterhead.

-editation is a path that binds humans. !ll religions speak of humanity, world

peace, universality. ut the 8uestion is how many people outside your faith

understand this in the terms that you do0 +hen you go beyond this, you willaccess a huge collectivity. ut rst, start with yourself by meditating routinely and

let a part of the collectivity begin with yourself. This is my pure wish. :amaskaarA

or greetings.

5! city in the Gu&arat state of India

AThere is no concept of goodbye in the %anskrit derived languages. %o people end by saying

greetings.
