Om Namah Shambave …

Om Namah Shivaya …

My Love and Blessings are there with all of you and will be there for you always. What I wish to speak today pertains to the situation and circumstances prevailing today, all around us. Why and how have these circumstances come to what they are today? And what is to come yet, over the next 2 – 3 months or for that matter for the rest of this year? What should you pay attention to, what have you got to stay safe from and what we can do under the prevailing circumstances and the ones that will follow in the next 2 months or later down the year? This is my first ever video talk of this kind where I am coming online to speak thus and it is a matter of satisfaction that I am able to do so despite the prevailing circumstances.

Firstly, let me clarify that I am not an astrologer who reads horoscopes or makes predictions about natural calamities such as storms, cyclones, floods, earthquakes and the like, nor am I someone who predicts what is likely to happen in the future. As such, even astrology and astrologers make predictions. However, what I have been saying from time to time, over the years, or for that matter in the last few months has been taken very seriously by all my children, my devotees. I am very happy and pleased with this because it has resulted in all of us coming together to embark on this practice or Sadhana of Om Namah Shivaya chanting. Many a times what happens is that we listen to something, we understand it and make up our minds to do it. Take for example the case of Om Namah Shivaya chanting itself. Often it so happens that we listen to good advice and appreciating the benefit of undertaking something like chanting, we feel inspired and enthused to take it up. However, our enthusiasm wanes away after 2 – 3 days and out of sheer habit, we tend to fall back into our usual routine or, we get busy with something else and discontinue what we may have just begun. However, it is important to figure out how we can bring people together and set a time for such an activity too. Just as we have a routine for all our other aspects / activities in life, this chanting or prayer too should become a part of our regular routine and discipline whereby, we pray for others, for the society, the world and for ourselves too! Even more so when there is no other option but to chant or pray. Today’s circumstances are such that we have no other option but to engage in prayer and chanting of the Lord’s name – Om Namah Shivaya, because nothing else can work or make a difference under such circumstances.

Why has all this happened? Why has God shut the doors of all His dwellings upon us or, why is God not listening to our prayers? Why are these circumstances persisting still and refusing to abate? There is a reason for all this. Over the years, from a long period of time we have seen some calamities or the other periodically and we have had floods, storms or earthquakes every other year or on a regular basis. Nature has been performing this balancing act from time to time. However, the current situation is unlike any other in the past and it continues to persist. We have a pandemic that has brought life to a standstill and then we also have these cyclones and earthquakes, with more to follow. The reason for this lies in our treatment of animals. For a very long time now, we have been massacring animals to indulge our taste buds and make them our food. We have been thoughtlessly cruel to the animals around us, slaughtering them for our food. In order to make this seem acceptable, we have included them in our religious rituals too as sacrificial offerings to God. Thus, we have inflicted a lot of cruelty, pain and suffering upon these dumb creatures, as if they have no right to live and no role or importance in the overall scheme of this entire creation. Thus, their collective suffering and pain accumulated over the years, grew to a point where something needed to be done. It is their collective pain and suffering that has manifested as this pandemic we have been experiencing over the last few months. Today, mankind is crying out saying enough! We cannot bear this anymore! When and how is this pandemic going to end? We cannot go on like this anymore! However, mankind did not care to think on the same lines about what they have been inflicting upon the animal kingdom for years together. Mankind never thought, enough! I cannot go on killing these poor dumb creatures for my own pleasure and indulgence. God has been telling us to be good and do good. To engage in righteous action and service, not politics or cruelty, but man has been doing just the opposite.

Service activities are going on and prayers are also being offered but somewhere along the way, mankind exceeded all limits and was totally out of control with its excesses. So, what do we see or experience today? This pain and the accompanying uncertainties, troubles and difficulties that refuse to cease. How can the Karmic balance that has been accumulated over so many years be mitigated or corrected in just 2 or 3 months? How is that possible? Nature, destiny and the Creation we see all around us is the manifestation of God or Paramatma. This entire Universe or Cosmos – the Brahmand (the Cosmic force or energy) has created all that we see and even Ishwar or God and Prakriti or Nature are the manifestation of that Cosmic energy. Nature is the mother of this energy and all the other manifestations of that Cosmic energy. When Nature takes a decision to do something, it will do what it has to. Even God will not interfere with it or go against it. Nature is endowed with the power to create and destroy. Today, it is not only us but all those who are left with nothing, who are praying for relief and respite. Nature has taught mankind a very big lesson today and shown Man his place in the order of this creation. Man, thinking that he has been to the moon and discovered so many other secrets of this universe and accomplished so many other impossible feats, felt invincible. Yet, such a small organism like this virus which cannot even be seen has brought man down to his knees. This virus, a form of Nature’s power has stopped that man who thought no end of himself, that mankind which otherwise seemed unstoppable, in his / their tracks. Today, everyone has to understand this under the prevailing circumstances.

I wish to tell everyone and particularly all of you in this group, that Nature is actually conveying something here. It is establishing some new laws and a new order or discipline in our lives. It is expecting something from us. It is desiring that we change the way we live, that we rein in our insatiable greed for wealth and position, that we stop hankering after name and fame. Everybody is trying to prove themselves. Everyone is desiring something or the other. Everyone is trying to make their presence, their feeling of the I or ego felt and recognised whereas, the ego or ‘I’ is something that can never sustain or remain. It has to perish some day or the other, even if it does find some place to thrive for a short while. So, what can you prove then? You will have to pause and understand certain things. This pandemic and the virus for example; every other day there will be someone or the other expressing their opinions or predictions. Someone may say that it will decline in July. Someone else may say August or October. Somebody may say it will increase in July while another may say it will reduce in winter. Someone else may declare that it will reduce in summer and so on and so forth! Scientists will speak up, doctors will express their expert opinions and all others too will say either this or that but in reality, nobody actually knows what will happen and when. As many people, that many thoughts and beliefs or opinions.

The first thing you must do is to remove the fear from your hearts and minds. This pandemic infection is more of a paranoia than a disease. Whether it is the presence of an infection or just the paranoia of fear within you; no matter what the circumstances around which no doubt will decline further in the coming few months, what you need to do is to banish all fear from within you. Fear will not fetch you victory nor will it drive the virus away. This virus will go away in the manner it came in the first place. It will go back to where it came from because that is the law of Nature. That which has come has to go, that which is born has to perish someday. Therefore, discard all fear from your minds and hearts. Every object or event or disease that occurs has to end someday. When will this pandemic end? How will it end? Who will end it? These are questions to which you will come across a thousand answers in the form of guesses or speculations or so-called expert opinions. Do not pay attention to all that you hear. Nobody knows when this will end. If they knew, then by now they would have also figured out the cure for it. There is no other end to this pandemic other than through prayer. People say that this originated in China and was produced in a laboratory there. China is just an excuse and not the reason. People tend to latch on to the excuse or apparent reason for such things, but they fail to delve deeper into the reason or significance behind the apparent reason. What is the real reason then? The real reason is mankind’s karma. The atrocities committed by mankind and observed by many others as mute spectators. Even those mute spectators are guilty of not having raised their voices against the atrocities being committed by mankind. At this point, I wish to say something very important. I, in my mission or the work I am doing and will be doing going forward too, will allow only those who are pure vegetarians, to be with me and involve themselves in my mission. Those people who are associated with or consume meat and liquor, will have no place in my mission. The reason for this is that consuming liquor will come in the way of your spiritual progress. Eating meat will also come in the way of your spiritual advancement. How can you progress spiritually and meet or realize your true inner self when you sustain your physical self or indulge your taste buds by consuming meat or flesh obtained by harming and slaughtering other living beings? How will you know your true self? What is knowing one’s true self after all? Let us take the example of rice being cooked on the stove. To know if the rice has been cooked completely one just picks out a grain or two of the cooked rice and presses the grain to check on its softness as an indicator of the extent to which it has been cooked. One does not have to check each and every grain of rice in the vessel to know if the rice has cooked thoroughly. Now liken yourself to that one grain of rice amongst so many others in the vessel, much the same way as you are just one amongst many beings in this vessel of the world. You will put in the effort to recognize your true-self. You will do this only to know yourself and realize yourself. In the process of knowing or recognizing yourself, if you check and ascertain how well you are cooked from within; in other words, whether you have ripened completely from within, you will be able to perceive the entire world around you as ripe enough. If on the other hand, you go about finding flaws in others, you only see faults in others or you deliberately harm the innocent, you will never attain redemption or fulfillment in your life.

Spirituality has one law, a golden rule; that of forbearance or tolerance. The ability to bear and be patient. Ego; why have ego and for what? Where is the need for it? Do you think that the ego still has a place given the circumstances prevailing today? If this infection were to afflict you in just a moment and you become helpless, of what use would your ego be then? Of what use is all the ego that you held on to and have nurtured all your life? What did you achieve? Rather, you only lost, by forfeiting your progress owing to your ego. Man thinks or hopes that he will never die but today death is going knocking from door to door and roaming freely in the market places. Death has come assuming this form, only to convey that you must give up your ego. Death can catch you at any time but it won’t, because Babaji is with you all. You are all under my protection and nothing can happen to you. This is my word or promise to you, that I will protect you. This is a job given to me by destiny that I protect those who are with me and I will do that. However, even while I am protecting you, what is your duty? What is the work you have to undertake? You have only one work to do and that is to contemplate everyday upon what you done so far? Of what use has your greed and all that you have been running after, trying to accumulate or hoard and amass, been? You can progress further only by sacrificing your ego and giving up your desire for material possessions and objects. Ego and anger should be given up, given the times that are looming ahead and what lies before us. Earlier today I had posted a picture of the sun with a silver ring formed around it. The picture looked beautiful but what that silver ring around the sun signals or signifies is not very good. Whenever such a ring or wheel is formed around the sun, it forebodes some mishaps or natural calamities such as storms, cyclones, floods, earthquakes and the like. It means that Nature is not happy. Something that mankind is doing is causing immense pain to Mother Nature.

On 21st June, there is a solar eclipse that is going to occur. I would like that all of you engage yourselves in the chanting of ‘Om Namah Shivaya’ at that time when the eclipse is happening. Note that I have always stressed on just this one mantra which is, ‘Om Namah Shivaya’. The solar eclipse is likely to last for about 4 – 5 hours and you have to chant this mantra during that period of the eclipse because there will be a lot of turbulence and upheavals after that eclipse. In fact, there are 3 eclipses going to occur in a row, one after the other, on separate days – two solar eclipses and 1 lunar eclipse. The position and condition of these eclipses is not favorable to the Earth. This is not some scriptural knowledge that I am sharing because I have been saying this for years now, that 2020 is not a good year for mankind. I told you all sometime back, about the calamity that would strike Kolkata and that happened. In fact, there is one more calamity that will strike Kolkata in the coming days. In the same way, several other places within the country and countries abroad with a coastline along the sea / ocean, are going to be affected. The year 2020 is a year of destruction, a year that is meant to balance out the atrocities committed by mankind. Only some may have committed the atrocities and cruelty upon other species but everyone has to pay the price for it. That is how it works. The Cosmos had already made a decision that it would unleash these natural calamities upon mankind to teach man a lesson. If mankind does not learn its lessons now, perhaps it will never have an opportunity to do so again.

2020 is a very bad year for all of mankind but, after 2020, from 2021 onwards right until 2030 there will be no Tsunamis or floods or any other such natural calamities. Nature will remain calm after 2020, for the next 10 years. Good times will set in from 2021 but we will witness a lot of price rise all around for objects or materials that we wish to purchase. Conversely, if we want to sell some of our possessions, say a property that we wish to dispose of, we will have to do so at a very low price. The financial and economic situation will remain delicate and weak right until 2025. By the year 2025, our Hindustan and even our Hindu Dharma – religion with face a lot of upheavals and challenges with respect to its temples and other aspects, due to politics and interference from enemy countries. Nature however will remain calm and not vent its anger again upon mankind at least for the next 10 years. It will do a lot of damage and destruction in 2020 but it has been decided that I will protect you and see you through these difficult times, the likes of which you have never seen before nor perhaps will ever see again. However, the chanting that you all have been undertaking since January 2020 with all your heart and soul will have to be intensified for the next 2 months, until 27th August, after which, the situation will gradually begin to normalize again.

Right now, Nature is absolutely furious and there is nobody to calm her down in this state. One may ask what about all these Avatars that have descended upon earth? What are they doing about this? Let me tell you, it is only because of these Avatars and all those saints or sages engaged in austere penance that the Earth is still surviving and continuing to exist until this point in time. Look at what has been happening in the last few years; exploitation and torture of children, atrocities of all other kinds, thefts where not even temples have been spared. There has been deterioration everywhere, even within families and relationships. All this is attributable to man’s greed. Take the case of the farmers who have had good harvests in the last few seasons; yet they suffer because the middlemen and the re-sellers play their games to maximize their own profits at the expense of the poor farmers. Take the instance of the hotel industry where something that costs Rs. 5 is sold for Rs. 5000/-. The motive is sheer profiteering at the expense of others. Man is only interested to see how he can benefit the most and amass even more! Man’s sole focus is on more! He wants more and more and more of everything, be it even religion or spirituality. He always wants something, wants to possess something more and yet that is never enough. Why does he always want more? What is the point in wanting or accumulating more and more? However, this virus has come and shown mankind that no matter how much you accumulated, be it properties or bank balance or any other possessions, today you are locked in at just one place where you are safe. You may own 10000 properties but you are restricted to remaining only in one. You may have a big fat bank balance but there is only so much you can spend today on anything but your daily essential needs, despite the balance in your account. From 100 you have come down to zero today! No matter how many possessions you may have, they are all static and inaccessible to you today because you have been locked in and locked down. You cannot even venture out. Therefore, I say unto you and not many will say this to you that you must give up this greed and tendency to accumulate or hoard in this life, while in this world. You must give up this thinking that you have to amass and hoard for your family and only then leave this world. If there is something at all that you must grow or accumulate while in this world, that is your Karma. Build on your Karma by doing good and accumulating good. After this year, nothing will happen until 2030 but I say this to you that in 2030, this same pandemic will return in a much more deadly and fatal form, with manifold intensity and severity. You can listen to this talk of mine about the return of this impending event, even after 10 years, if you wish to. Who will save you then from this deadly virus? Paramatma? Paramatma will save you if you lead your lives with a clean and pure heart, with Love and selflessness. Love is the key. Why did Swami and so many other saints or sages lay so much emphasis on selfless love? It is because they knew that only Love was the panacea to the very challenging and unprecedented times that lay ahead. Had there been true selfless love, Nature would have relented to that Love. Instead, today there is only politics and greed. There is wrongdoing even in religion. I am telling you the truth; to all those who are non-vegetarians, meat eaters. Do not take this lightly. Take it very seriously and give up eating meat because if you continue to consume meat, nobody can save you or protect you. Nature will punish you very severely if you continue like this even after what is happening and waiting to happen in 2020. While 2020 is full of calamities and difficulties, there is one thing good that has come of all this. You have all understood the meaning and power of prayer. You have all come together from different corners of the world and united yourselves in prayer; praying for each other, wishing other well and praying for others too. Continue to do this and firm up your resolve about this. Mark my words and tie them up in your hearts and minds. Remember and understand that just as you have been doing everything else that you consider as a necessity in life, whether it is having your food, changing your clothes, sleeping or performing your daily duties; prayers for each other and for others too, were, are and should always be an inseparable part of your daily lives, for the rest of your lives. The conditions and circumstances are such that neither money nor properties or houses and cars, nor any other possessions that you may have amassed, will be able to free you from this problem. Such is the anger and fury of Nature that even God had to shut His doors. This has never happened in history. In future, you will always remember that there came a time when God shut the doors of His temples but, He opened the doors of our heart. He is present within us but we are the ones who have limited Him to the temple. When we could not go to the temple, we sat at home and prayed to Him. This proves that He is everywhere and that no matter where you are and what state you are in, you can always pray to Him then and there, without having to wait to go to a temple.

Who am I? What am I and what am I here to do? Do not worry about knowing all this. It suffices if you know that I am here to protect you, I have been protecting you and will continue to protect you always. This is my promise to you! Also remember that you need not take my words or advice lightly. You may do so if you wish to at your own peril, for it does not make any difference to me. However, it is better for you if you take my words seriously. Therefore, we will continue with our prayers for each other, for others and for the well-being of the entire world and the Cosmos. The coming year 2021 will be relatively peaceful and happy. There will be some disturbances again in 2023. Our country India and our neighbor Pakistan will go to war with each other but our country India will emerge victorious. I will keep you informed in good time about oncoming events and, when all of this subsides and good times set in, I will tell you who I am and why I am here with you all. As such, you may know who I am but I have never stated it in so many words from my mouth. After all this is over, after these problems and difficulties go past us, I will grant a full-fledged (Sampoorna) initiation or consecration (Deeksha), especially to those children who have sincerely engaged in the service of praying for others whole-heartedly. After that, I will not grant such a Deeksha ever again in my life and such initiation will have no place or meaning in my life or mission, thereafter. I will grant this full-fledged ordination only once, after all these troubles and difficulties of the current year subside and pass. I will explain the why, what and how of this ordination or consecration at that point in time when I am granting it. I am really very happy that you all have taken my words seriously and come together for these prayers, with faith and love. Let me tell you that if these prayers continue with the same fervor, sincerity and devotion, then the calamities that are yet to strike could be mitigated. Such is the power of prayer that even the approaching calamities can be mitigated to an extent. The extent of impact can be reduced from 100% to 50%. However, the time left until the onset of these calamities is very less now, but intensify your prayers nevertheless.

Tomorrow, a cyclone is expected to make landfall near Mumbai and there will be some disruption because of it but, there is nothing to fear or worry! I will protect you all (those in Mumbai) and keep you safe from it. Another cyclone is due in Kolkata after some days. Other parts of the world too will experience these cyclones, storms, earthquakes and Tsunamis in the coming days. The financial situation will deteriorate. On the political side, some of those in power will face certain sudden difficulties and challenges. Therefore, it is prayer and prayer alone that is the answer to the forthcoming turbulence. Prayer for what? Prayer for the protection of Dharma and the righteous. Prayer for sustaining and building upon our inner strength (Atma Shakti). There is nothing more to all of this. Babaji is with you. Bhole Baba is with you and He will take care of you. He will do all that is needed for you. He will protect you. All that you need to do is pray! Leave aside your work and engage in prayer. All that you have done in your life thus far is work, work & more work; to accumulate and amass more and more. You have worried about the future and drawn up so many plans for it but let me reiterate that this period until 27th Aug is a very crucial one that calls for intense prayers, for our very survival itself. Only if we survive can we look ahead to a future. Therefore, it is very clear that this year 2020 is one of survival alone. With your selfless prayers, many others too have survived thus far and will be able to survive this tough period. To the extent possible, feed street dogs and other street animals. Each and every devotee must make it a point to feed at least one animal a day, beginning from tomorrow. While doing so, offer an apology to these animals within your hearts and pray to them too, to pray to Mother Nature and calm her down. Those consuming liquor and meat must give them up because the times to come will not augur well for them if they do not give up these habits and indulgences.

Do not worry and have no fear. I have said this in my talk earlier too, that you are all under my protection and I will definitely take care of you. All that you need to do is pray. Pray with all your heart and soul that Mother Nature calms down and forgives all of us, her children. After all this is over, I shall in totality and completely, with all my heart, from my Divine self, bless you with the awareness and bliss of that Darshan. I will grant absolute Deeksha (consecration or ordination) to you and that will be the one and only Deeksha I shall grant in all my life. I will not grant Deeksha to anyone thereafter. The one and only mission of my life after all this is over will be to merge you with yourself; to spread the chanting of Om Namah Shivaya all around the world, because it is this chanting that has always protected everyone and shall continue to do so even in the times to come. Do not worry about what lies ahead. The coming times after all this is over, will be pleasant. For now, the only option you have in your hands is to pray. You may continue with the Seva (service activity) you are engaging in, you may continue with the work that you do but, above all, do not forget to pray. Let us now begin our regular chanting and prayer, like we do every night. If you have some questions to ask about what I have said, you may do so by posting your questions on the group. I shall answer them on the group. The only purpose of my speaking to you today was to assure you that I am with you and protecting you. That’s my promise to all of you. Having secured this assurance and protection during such turbulent and uncertain times, if you have still not understood who is or was with you, then perhaps you will never have another opportunity ever, to understand this. These times are difficult and testing for sure but, this period is also the best time to go inward, to meet the inner self, to meet and experience that Paramatma within. It is the longest and most appropriate period for doing this because until now, you never had this kind of time on your hands but today, you have that time to go within. Nature has given you this time and an opportunity. You must make the most of this opportunity and time, for the welfare and uplift of your life.

Let us now begin our chanting as we do every day.

(After the chanting …)

Om Namah Shambave

There is something I forgot to mention in my talk earlier, which is very important. Which are the places in India or abroad, that are likely to be affected directly, by Nature’s wrath?

Gujarat, Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi & Madhya Pradesh. People living in these areas need to stay alert and be cautious. Those living in Delhi or central India need to be aware that these areas are prone to earthquakes. There is a fear of this happening and it will happen too, but you need not be afraid because their magnitude will not be too destructive. Thirdly, those living in towns or villages situated along the banks of large rivers will need to be careful, as they are likely to be affected by floods when these river waters rise in spate. Entire areas and villages could be washed away in these floods. The coastal areas too will be affected rather significantly. Internationally speaking, America need not fear because they will have to face a few storms and hurricanes here and there but no Tsunamis are likely there. Somebody had asked about America and therefore I am clarifying. People living in the coastal regions of UK will have to be alert and cautious. Please let those of your acquaintances living there know about this and ask them to engage in Namasmarana – chanting of the Lord’s name, because there will be some damage and destruction in UK. While I cannot name each and every place or country of the world that will be affected, the broad hint that I would like to give you all is that all those places located along the coastline of their respective countries will be affected in some way or the other. So, please continue praying and do not fear. You will have to face these difficult times with strength and fortitude. It is only prayer that can grant you the inner strength to face these challenges. I would like to share with you all a good tiding which is that after all this is over, you will definitely have the experience of the presence of Shiva and Shakti. You will definitely experience the power of the mother Shakti’s presence, once all this is over. I promise you that Sakshatkar – that experience of realization  This is my assurance to you.

From tomorrow, we will continue our regular chanting and prayers at 10 pm every night and on every Sunday we will sing Hanuman Chalisa 11 times, at the appointed hour. My Love and Blessings in abundance, to all of you.

Om Namah Shambave …
