Swami Mukundananda, explains the ultimate sign of a mind united with God, as described in the Bhagavad Gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam. [ ] within bracket is the time stamp of video [00:00] So Shri Krishna spoke four verses in the heart of Brahma. They are called the Chatushloki Bhagwat. Now Sri Krishna says that those yogis who have united their mind with me. It is not that they've united their mind with me alone. [00:19] Bhagavat Gita, Chapter 6, Dhyan Yog, the Yoga of Meditation. Shloka chanting is followed by translation and commentary by Swami Mukundananda. [01:01] The true yogis uniting their consciousness with God see with equal eye, all living beings in God and God in all living beings. [01:18] So now, at that stage, the yogi sees God everywhere. [01:28] "Oh, this Marxist Leninist is also searching for happiness because he's also part of God. This atheist is also searching for happiness. He's also part of the ocean of happiness." [01:40] Everybody is running after happiness because they are parts of God. Sri Krishna says, "Arjun, everybody is trying to reach Me." [02:09] Actually, Gita has got 700 verses, and the Bhagwatam has got 18,000 verses. We, in the mornings, we study the Mukut-mani of the Bhagwat, right? The Gopi Geet. [02:17] So the entire Bhagwat, it originated from four verses. They are called the Chatushloki Bhagwat. And these were first revealed to Brahma. [02:42] Brahma Ji is also Padma—one who is born from the lotus. From the navel of Vishnu Ji, the lotus came and Brahma Ji took birth. [03:03] He looked all around him. There was no Earth planet, no Texas, no Allen township, no Radha Krishna temple. All these will come later. [03:15] All he saw was an ocean of raw energy. And he started thinking, "Who am I? Why have I come here? What is my purpose?" [03:34] He started entering the stem of the lotus and went on going, going. There was no end to it. So he retraced his steps and again sat down on the lotus. [03:52] When he heard the waves of this ocean of energy making sounds—tapa, tapa, tapa—he said, "I see the message here is do tapasa (practice austerities)." [04:19] So he sat down and did his austerities, and finally Sri Krishna revealed Himself. So Sri Krishna spoke four verses in the heart of Brahma. They are called the Chatushloki Bhagwat. [04:29] On the basis of those, Sri Brahma Ji then created the world. [04:46] Brahma Ji: "When there was no creation ,i.e., before creation, what existed? God alone." Krishna says, "I alone existed and everything that is manifest in the form of creation is My very self." [05:28] "Likewise, you take a rocket and keep flying, at one place the universe will come to an end. What is there after creation?" He says, "I alone exist. When creation shall cease to be, I alone will remain. There's nothing apart from me. These are all manifestations of the divine." [05:58] Now Sri Krishna says that those yogis who have united their mind with me... the consequence is they see the whole world in its connection with God. [06:19] And when they reach that state, it is only natural. They cannot disrespect anyone because they can naturally see the others in their connection with the divine. [06:33] One little boy, he was going in the neighborhood and he saw a board on the fence of a ranch: "Puppies for sale." [07:40] The child took out from his pocket $3.23. He said, "For this much, will I be allowed to see the puppies?" The farmer said, "All right." [08:06] The kennel was opened and those little furry creatures came out. And much later, another furry creature came out. [08:24] This creature, the boy was looking carefully, was another puppy from the same litter, but it was not running at the same speed. It seemed to be hobbling. And then he realized it had only three legs. [08:44] He told the farmer, "That's the one I want. How much for that dog?" The farmer said, "Sunny, you don't want that. It's got only three legs." [08:52] So the little boy, he lifted his own trouser leg and showed that he had an artificial limb. He said, "He needs somebody who can understand his situation." [09:10] The farmer said, "You know, you just take him free. There's no charge for love." [09:18] Because he himself didn't have a leg, he could understand the plight of the little puppy who had one leg missing. It is just a sense of empathy. That is Sajjanta (gentlemanliness). [09:37] So the sign that our mind is in God is that we are naturally respectful to everyone because we see them all as parts of the divine. ________________________________________ English Elaboration The video explains the essence of a divine or Krishna-Conscious mind based on two main spiritual authorities: the Bhagavad Gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam. 1. The Sign of a True Yogi (Gita) The ultimate sign of a true yogi, whose mind is united with God, is their equal vision [01:01]. • They see all living beings in God (as being connected to the divine source). • They see God in all living beings (as the soul or part of the Divine residing within them). • This vision explains why everyone, including atheists or Marxists, is searching for happiness—because they are parts of the Ocean of Happiness (God) [01:28]. • The consequence of this perspective is that one naturally respects everyone and "cannot disrespect anyone," as they see the entire world in its connection with the Divine [06:19]. 2. The Origin of All Creation (Bhagwatam) The speaker details the origin of the 18,000-verse Srimad Bhagavatam from just four verses, known as the Chatushloki Bhagwat [02:17]: • Brahma's Birth: Brahma Ji was born from a lotus emerging from Lord Vishnu's navel, finding himself in an ocean of raw energy with no creation [02:42]. • Austerity (Tapasa): After failing to find the source of the lotus, Brahma heard the message tapa, tapa, tapa (practice austerities) [03:52]. • The Divine Revelation: After performing tapasa, Shri Krishna revealed the four verses to Brahma's heart. These verses assert the absolute non-duality of God: "I alone existed before creation, everything manifest is my very self, and I alone will remain when creation ceases to be" [04:46]. 3. Empathy and Sajjanta (Gentlemanliness) To illustrate the natural respect that comes from true knowledge, the speaker shares an analogy of a boy who buys a three-legged puppy [08:24]. • The farmer tries to discourage the boy, but the boy lifts his own trouser leg to show he wears an artificial limb [08:52]. • The boy explains that the puppy needs someone who can understand its situation. • This act demonstrates empathy and Sajjanta (gentlemanliness) [09:18]. • The takeaway is that the highest sign of a mind focused on God is this universal empathy and respect toward all beings, because they are all seen as manifestations or parts of the Divine [09:37].

Swami Mukundananda, discusses the profound influence of the company we keep (Satsang) using the example of Hanuman and Vibhishan. [00:00] The company we keep has a tremendous impact upon us. If you stay in the association of those who lust after wealth, you will also make money the primary goal of your life. [00:12] If your friends are virtuous and people of integrity, in their association, you will develop a noble and virtuous character. [00:24] If your friends consider health as the chief priority, you too will develop habits of well-being and grow in health. [00:38] When Hanuman took on a giant form and leapt over the ocean to reach Lanka, it was late evening when he came. [00:51] Touring around, Hanuman came to the house of Vibhishan. He saw on the door an emblem of Bhagwan Ram's bow, the Sharang, and some Tulsi plants were growing in the courtyard. [01:13] Hanuman thought, "In this city, who is this saintly person? I must find out." [01:35] Your heart can be compared to a crystal. The crystal takes on the hue and the shade of the environment it is placed in. Likewise, you too get affected by your association. [01:45] Motivational speaker Jim Rohn said, "You are the average of your five closest friends." So we must be careful in choosing our company. [02:12] Let's learn from the example of Vibhishan. When Hanuman took on a giant form and leapt over the ocean to reach Lanka, it was late evening when he came. [02:22] He decided to wait until it was dark before proceeding further. He now became a little monkey. [02:32] And after the blanket of night had descended, he went towards the gate. A demoness called Lankini was standing guard. [02:45] She noticed him and screamed, "A thief! Where are you going?" Hanuman thought in his mind, "The biggest thief is inside, Ravan, who has kidnapped the mother of the universe, Sita, and she's blaming me for being a thief." [03:07] He boxed her, and it was a knockout in one blow. However, Lankini folded her hands and started offering her respect. [03:19] She said, "I had become fed up of guarding the city of demons. At that time, Brahma said to me that when a monkey comes and knocks you with a blow, know that the days of Lanka are numbered." [03:41] "I offer my respects to Ramadas Hanuman. Please proceed." Hanuman entered the city. [03:54] It was late in the night. The demons, after an evening of vice and entertainment, were now sleeping. [04:06] Hanuman did an inspection. He even visited the palace of Ravan, where he found Ravan sleeping with his wife, Mandodari. [04:19] Touring around, Hanuman came to the house of Vibhishan. He saw on the door an emblem of Bhagwan Ram's bow, the Sharang, and some Tulsi plants were growing in the courtyard. [04:29] Hanuman thought, "In this city, who is this saintly person? I must find out." [04:42] It was now about 3:00 a.m. in the morning, and at that very moment, Vibhishan got up. Right away, the name of Ram came out from his lips. [04:51] He uttered Ram Ram, and he came out of the door. He saw Hanuman and said, "Who are you?" [05:00] Hanuman then explained the background why he had come. Vibhishan was thrilled upon meeting a devotee of Ram. [05:11] He explained how he had been worshiping Ram, but his regret was that Ram's grace had not descended upon him. He asked Hanuman the reason for it. [05:23] Hanuman said, "You are taking Ram nam, but you are not doing Ram Kaj, the work of Ram." [05:34] Vibhishan made a vow, then forth he would definitely stand up in support of Ram and Sita. [05:46] Vibhishan then said to Hanuman that now I am certain Ram's kripa is upon me. [06:10] "It's only by the Lord's grace that one meets a saint like you." [06:21] Hanuman asked Vibhishan how he managed to stay in a city of demons. Vibhishan responded his position was like the tongue between 32 teeth. He felt completely suffocated. [06:33] Hanuman said, "But the tongue is more powerful than the teeth." There was once an argument between the teeth and the tongue. [06:45] The teeth warned the tongue, "You stay in the midst of all of us and have the impudence of coming and shaking any of us whenever you want. Be careful, or together we will chop you and throw you out." [07:03] The tongue said, "Mr. teeth, you need to be careful. If I use my power and insult that big and strong bully of the locality, all 32 of you will get out." [07:28] So Hanuman said to Vibhishan, "that we are brothers and I need your help." [07:39] "Brothers?" said Vibhishan. "But you are saintly and I am born in a demoniac family." [07:46] Hanuman explained that their father was Ram and mother was Sita. [07:53] "The problem was," Hanuman said, "I have seen my father, but not yet met my mother. You have seen the mother, Sita, but have not yet met your father, Ram. Help me meet Sita, and I'll ensure you get to meet Ram." [08:17] Vibhishan was thrilled. He told Hanuman, "She is being put in Ashok vatika by my brother Ravan. It is in that direction." [08:29] Before Hanuman proceeded, Vibhishan praised the opportunity for getting that saintly association because the company we keep has a tremendous impact upon us. [09:00] Hanuman proceeded from there, but the lesson for us is that this moment's association made such a big impact upon Vibhishan. So, our company influences us. [09:16] If you stay in the association of those who lust after wealth, you will also make money the primary goal of your life. [09:28] If your friends are virtuous and people of integrity, in their association, you will develop a noble and virtuous character. [09:42] If your friends consider health as the chief priority, you too will develop habits of well-being and grow in health. [09:56] One pet shop owner raised two parrots and sold one of them to a priest and its brother parrot to a butcher. [10:09] After a year, the pet shop owner thought, "Let me see how the two parrots are doing." He went to the priest's house. [10:21] The priest was outside when he arrived. But as he entered the home, he heard someone saying, "Welcome." [10:46] The parrot said, "The owner is not at home, but please be comfortable." And as the pet shop owner sat on a chair, the parrot began reciting Vedic mantras in sweet tones and then even sang a kirtan. [11:07] The pet shop owner was extremely impressed. From there, he proceeded to the butcher's house. [11:19] The moment he entered, he heard screams, "Kill him! Don't leave him! Squeeze his throat!" The pet shop owner was astounded. [11:32] He discovered the butcher was out. The parrot was screaming and then realized the impact of one year's association on the two parrots. [11:45] So, if we wish our intellect to be filled with belief in God, and if we want our aspirations, ideals, and values to become noble and pious, we must then engage in Satsang. [12:13] Over the last four decades as a spiritual teacher, I have personally witnessed the power of Satsang... in the space of one year, the entire direction of their life changes. [13:25] In this way, if we begin the activity of Satsang, Vyas promises: from Satsang, you will automatically develop first Shraddha (faith), then Rati (interest in devotion), and finally Bhakti (devotion) will start growing in your heart. ________________________________________ English Elaboration (The Power of Good Company) The central theme of the video is the immense and transformative power of association or Satsang (good company/association with truth). The speaker, Swami Mukundananda, emphasizes that our closest relationships determine our character, goals, and even health [00:12]. The Story of Hanuman and Vibhishan The speaker uses the Ramayana episode of Hanuman's first meeting with Vibhishan in Lanka to illustrate this point: • Recognition of Virtue: After leaping to Lanka, Hanuman saw a saintly sign at one house—the emblem of Lord Ram’s bow and Tulsi plants [00:51]. This house belonged to Vibhishan (Ravana's brother), a righteous soul living in the city of demons. • The Power of Prayer: Hanuman met Vibhishan at 3:00 a.m. Vibhishan was awake, uttering the name of Ram [04:42]. Vibhishan expressed his regret that despite his worship, he hadn't received Ram's grace. • The Missing Element: Hanuman explained that Vibhishan was taking Ram Nam (name) but not doing Ram Kaj (Ram’s work) [05:23]. Vibhishan immediately vowed to stand in support of Ram and Sita, confirming that meeting a saint like Hanuman was a sign of the Lord’s grace [06:10]. • Brotherhood and Mission: Vibhishan felt suffocated, describing his life as the "tongue between 32 teeth" (demons) [06:21].

Hanuman countered with a story of the tongue and the teeth, arguing the tongue's greater power (it can get all the teeth removed). Hanuman declared their brotherhood, stating their shared mother was Sita and father was Ram [07:46]. He asked Vibhishan to help him meet Sita, promising in return that Vibhishan would meet Ram. • The Lesson: Vibhishan's instantaneous transformation and support for Ram, catalyzed by a brief association with the saintly Hanuman, demonstrates the life-changing impact of good company [09:00]. The Parrot Analogy The speaker drives the point home with the story of two parrots [09:56]: 1. One parrot was sold to a priest and learned to say, "Welcome," recite Vedic mantras, and sing kirtans [10:46]. 2. The other parrot was sold to a butcher and only screamed commands like, "Kill him! Don't leave him! Squeeze his throat!" [11:19]. This stark contrast, caused by just one year of association, proves that our environment is the primary shaper of our conduct. Conclusion: The Importance of Satsang To cultivate noble ideals and belief in God, one must actively engage in Satsang [11:45]. This spiritual association is the path by which a person naturally develops Shraddha (faith), Rati (interest in devotion), and finally Bhakti (pure devotion) [13:25].

श्री धीरेन्द्र कृष्ण शास्त्री जी(बागेश्वर धाम) और पूज्य महाराज Premanand ji जी के बीच क्या वार्तालाप हुई ?

श्री धीरेन्द्र कृष्ण शास्त्री जी(बागेश्वर धाम) और पूज्य महाराज Premanand ji जी के बीच क्या वार्तालाप हुई ?

[ ] within bracket is the time stamp of video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiLT1IYGGCU 1. महाराज जी, श्री धीरेन्द्र कृष्ण शास्त्री जी को भगवान का पार्षद बताते हैं, जिसका कार्य मायाजाल में फंसे जीवों को मुक्त करना है [00:52 - 01:06]। 2. वे कहते हैं कि भगवत नाम और गुणों की गर्जना करने से माया तुरंत भाग जाती है, क्योंकि इसमें अपार सामर्थ्य है [01:15 - 01:23]। 3. माया से पार होने के लिए ज्ञान-विज्ञान नहीं, बल्कि भगवान के नाम, गुण, लीला और धाम का आश्रय आवश्यक है [01:31 - 01:54]। 4. माया भगवान की दासी है, जो भक्तों को मार्ग दे देती है, लेकिन अहंकार (अहम्) होते ही प्रश्नवाचक चिन्ह लगा देती है [02:01 - 02:08]। 5. वे भगवान का यश सुनाकर जीवों को मुक्त करते हैं, क्योंकि भगवत यश श्रवण मात्र से ही भगवत प्राप्ति हो जाती है [02:15 - 02:25]। 6. इसका प्रमाण धुंधकारी और ब्राह्मण पत्नियों का उदाहरण है, जिन्हें केवल कथा के अनुराग से ही लाभ मिला [02:36 - 02:47]। 7. जिनको कान से कथा सुनने और जिह्वा से नाम जपने का अवसर मिल गया, वे तुरंत माया पर विजय प्राप्त कर लेते हैं [02:56 - 03:02]। 8. महाराज जी चेतावनी देते हैं कि साधना का अहंकार ('मैं त्यागी हूँ', 'मैं मौनी हूँ') भगवत प्राप्ति में बाधक होता है [03:02 - 03:11]। 9. जो 'मैं' का शमन करके भगवान का दासत्व करता है और स्वयं को नीच समझता है, भगवान उसे महान बनाते हैं [03:18 - 03:26]। 10. वे आशीर्वाद देते हैं कि स्वस्थ शरीर और स्वस्थ बुद्धि के साथ डंके की चोट से नाम-गुणगान करो। 11. जिसका बल रखवार रमापति (भगवान) हैं, उसकी सीमा को कोई छू नहीं सकता और उसे कोई परास्त नहीं कर सकता [03:51 - 04:01]। 12. भक्तों का अपना मंगल तो उनके भगवान के संबंध से हो चुका है, अब केवल जो भगवान के संबंध को भूले हैं, उन्हें जागृत करना है [04:08 - 04:14]। 13. सनातन धर्म स्वयंभू है—यह ब्रह्म, वायु और सूर्य की तरह है, किसी व्यक्ति द्वारा स्थापित नहीं किया गया [05:40 - 05:48]। 14. सनातन धर्म में जोड़ने की यह भावना स्वयं भगवान द्वारा प्रकट की हुई होती है, ताकि भूले हुए प्राणी परम प्रीति में स्थित हों [06:03 - 06:10]। 15. धीरेंद्र शास्त्री जी महाराज जी की बीमारी को महापुरुषों की लीला बताते हैं, जिसका उद्देश्य केवल भगवान की सेवा और भक्तों के दर्शन है [06:49 - 07:05]। 16. कार्य में सावधानी रखने के प्रश्न पर महाराज जी समझाते हैं कि भक्त तो बेपरवाही से चलने वाला बच्चा है, उसकी सुरक्षा (सावधानी) स्वयं माता-पिता (भगवान) करते हैं [08:26 - 08:35]। 17. भक्त का बल उसकी साधना या ज्ञान नहीं, बल्कि केवल प्रिया-प्रीतम का बल है, अतः उन्मत्त होकर उनके चिंतन में चलना चाहिए [09:24 - 09:31]। 18. भक्त के सामने आने वाली प्रतिकूलताएँ उसे परिपक्व करने के लिए आती हैं, जिन्हें वह कृपा प्रसाद मानकर अनुकूलता में बदल देता है [09:59 - 10:14]। 19. महाराज जी अपनी किडनी फेल होने की घटना का उदाहरण देते हैं, जिससे उन्हें साधना का अहंकार नष्ट होने पर वास्तविक शरणागति का बोध हुआ [10:42 - 11:02]। 20. भगवान के भक्त को हिम्मत रखनी पड़ती है—संकट की तलवार भी आकर गले का हार बन जाती है, बस भरोसा दृढ़ होना चाहिए [13:37 - 13:57]।

Premanand ji & Amogh Lila Prabhu के बीच क्या वार्तालाप हुई 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT3X-mVIoNo 0:01 – 0:25 “जी महाराज जी की जय… आपके दर्शन हुए महाराज कार्तिक मास में बहुत बड़ा सौभाग्य है।” भावार्थ: भक्तजन बड़े विनम्र भाव से महाराज जी को प्रणाम करते हैं और बताते हैं कि कार्तिक मास (जो भगवान की विशेष कृपा का समय है) में उनके दर्शन होना बहुत बड़ा सौभाग्य है। यह भाव दर्शाता है कि संतों और महापुरुषों के दर्शन भी ईश्वर की कृपा से ही संभव हैं। ________________________________________ 0:25 – 1:09 “आप कृपा करके दर्शन देने आए हैं प्रभु… हम अधम हैं, कहीं जा नहीं सकते… भगवान अपने निज जनों को तभी भेजते हैं जब कृपा होती है।” भावार्थ: भक्त कहते हैं कि जब साधक अपने बल से कुछ नहीं कर सकता, तब भगवान अपने भक्तों को भेजते हैं ताकि जीव पर अनुग्रह हो सके। यह दर्शाता है कि संत भगवान की जीवित कृपा स्वरूप होते हैं। वे स्वयं भगवान की करुणा का रूप लेकर संसार में आते हैं। ________________________________________ 1:09 – 1:25 “महाराज, आपने बहुत लोगों को प्रेरणा दी है… लाखों-करोड़ों लोग आपके वचनों से लाभान्वित हो रहे हैं।” भावार्थ: यह भाग संत महात्माओं के समाज कल्याण कार्य की सराहना है। महाराज जी का जीवन प्रेरणा का स्रोत है — उनका उद्देश्य केवल आत्मकल्याण नहीं, बल्कि लोककल्याण (universal welfare) है। ________________________________________ 1:37 – 2:07 “वैष्णव से अपराध कैसे बन सकता है? जो निरंतर भगवान में लगा है, वही राधा है, वही कृष्ण है।” भावार्थ: महाराज जी समझाते हैं कि सच्चा वैष्णव भगवान से अभिन्न होता है। जो निरंतर भक्ति में लीन है, वही राधा-कृष्ण की कृपा का अंश है। ऐसे संत से अपराध की भावना हो ही नहीं सकती। भक्ति में अपराध-भाव नहीं, केवल विनम्रता का भाव होता है। ________________________________________ 2:07 – 2:43 “कृष्ण अपने आनंद के लिए राधा रूप में प्रकट हुए… प्रियाजू (राधा) ही श्रीकृष्ण हैं, और प्रियाजू की कृपा से ही श्रीकृष्ण प्रेम प्राप्त किया जा सकता है।” भावार्थ: यह अत्यंत गूढ़ तत्वज्ञान है — राधा और कृष्ण दो नहीं हैं। राधा वह स्वरूप हैं जो भगवान के प्रेम, आनंद और माधुर्य का विस्तार है। जो राधा से कृपा पाता है, वही कृष्ण प्रेम का रसास्वादन कर सकता है। 👉 यहाँ प्रेमानंद जी ‘रस-तत्व’ समझाते हैं — कि भगवान स्वयं प्रेम स्वरूप हैं और राधा उनका ‘आल्हादिनी शक्ति’ हैं। ________________________________________ 2:45 – 3:08 “जैसे पूर्णिमा के चंद्र का दर्शन केवल पूर्णिमा को ही हो सकता है… वैसे ही श्रीकृष्ण प्रेम बिना राधा-कृपा के प्राप्त नहीं होता।” भावार्थ: यह सुंदर उपमा है — जैसे चंद्रमा का पूरा रूप केवल पूर्णिमा पर दिखता है, वैसे ही भगवान श्रीकृष्ण का पूर्ण रस केवल राधा की कृपा से ही प्रकट होता है। राधा कृपा ही कृष्ण प्रेम की कुंजी है। ________________________________________ 3:10 – 3:47 “राधा के चरण-रज का प्रभाव ही गोपियों को कृष्ण-प्रेमी बना देता है।” भावार्थ: महाराज बताते हैं कि जब राधा के चरणों की धूल गोपियों को मिली, तब वे ‘अनंत माधुर्य निधि’ श्रीकृष्ण को भी रिझा सकीं। इसका अर्थ है — राधा कृपा के बिना कोई भी भगवान को नहीं पा सकता। ________________________________________ 3:55 – 4:14 “जब हम ‘राधा’ बोलते हैं तो कृष्ण मुस्कुराते हैं… और जब राधा देखती हैं कि कृष्ण प्रसन्न हैं, तो वे हम पर कृपा कर देती हैं।” भावार्थ: यह परम मधुर भक्ति-सूत्र है — राधा नाम स्वयं भगवान को प्रसन्न करता है। जो प्रेम से राधा का नाम जपता है, उस पर स्वयं श्रीकृष्ण आकर्षित होते हैं, और फिर राधा भी उस भक्त पर प्रसन्न होकर कृपा करती हैं। ________________________________________ 4:22 – 4:50 “जो राधा और कृष्ण में भेद करते हैं, वे अभी समझे नहीं। दो आँखें हैं, दृष्टि एक है; तन दो हैं, मन एक है।” भावार्थ: महाराज जी यहाँ अद्वैत प्रेम का सिद्धांत  समझाते हैं — राधा और कृष्ण अलग नहीं हैं। वे एक ही प्रेम का दो रूप हैं। जैसे दो आँखें हैं लेकिन दृष्टि एक होती है, वैसे ही राधा और कृष्ण एक ही चेतना के दो स्वरूप हैं। ________________________________________ 5:00 – 5:48 “प्रेम में भेद समाप्त हो जाता है… जहाँ प्यारे हैं, वहाँ प्यारी हैं; जहाँ प्यारी हैं, वहाँ प्यारे हैं — वे अलग नहीं रह सकते।” भावार्थ: सच्चे प्रेम में द्वैत नहीं होता। राधा-कृष्ण का प्रेम ‘अद्वैत आनंद’ है — जहाँ आत्म और परमात्मा एक हो जाते हैं। यहाँ महाराज जी ‘प्रेम रस’ के चरम सिद्धांत को उजागर करते हैं कि राधा-कृष्ण दो नहीं — एक ही प्रेम स्वरूप हैं। ________________________________________ 6:07 – 7:21 (भक्त परिवार से संवाद) महाराज जी माता-बहनों को आशीर्वाद देते हैं… और कहते हैं – “आप हमारी आत्मा हैं।” भावार्थ: यह महाराज जी की अहंभाव रहित करुणा  को दर्शाता है। वे प्रत्येक भक्त को अपने आत्मस्वरूप का अंश मानते हैं। भक्त के प्रति उनकी दृष्टि समानता और प्रेम  की होती है — जहाँ कोई ऊँच-नीच नहीं, केवल आत्मीयता है। ________________________________________ अंतिम भाव: “प्रेमानंद जी महाराज की जय, श्रीमती राधा रानी की जय।” भावार्थ: समापन में सभी भक्ति भाव से जयघोष करते हैं — यह दर्शाता है कि वार्ता केवल ज्ञान नहीं, अनुभूति और प्रेम का उत्सव  थी। महाराज जी ने यह सिखाया कि — “राधा ही कृपा हैं, कृष्ण ही प्रेम हैं, और उनका एकत्व ही भक्ति का परम सत्य है।” ________________________________________ 🌺 सारांश (Essence of the Discourse) राधा और कृष्ण दो नहीं — एक हैं। राधा भगवान की ‘आल्हादिनी शक्ति’ हैं, जो स्वयं भगवान के प्रेम का विस्तार हैं। राधा कृपा से ही कृष्ण प्रेम मिलता है। बिना राधा के अनुग्रह के भगवान का रसास्वादन असंभव है। संत भगवान की जीवित कृपा हैं। उनका दर्शन और संग ही ईश्वर की अनुकंपा है। प्रेम में द्वैत समाप्त हो जाता है। जहाँ प्रेम है, वहाँ ‘मैं’ और ‘तुम’ का भेद मिट जाता है। भक्ति का सार है — समर्पण और एकत्व की अनुभूति।

“The Most Powerful Technique of Stress Management – Karma Yoga”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF3AnvfTVaY 0:00 – 0:28 | Purify Your Intention If you are getting stressed, try and purify your intention. The purity of intention can easily be brought about by this technique that Lord Krishna presented 5,000 years ago — the most powerful technique of stress management — the technique of Karma Yoga. ________________________________________ 0:29 – 1:00 | What Is Karma Yoga What is Karma Yoga? It means doing your duties — raising children, managing your boss or colleagues — without anger, greed, hatred, ego, or envy. The mind remains in Yoga, connected with God. How to do that? Do your work, and also think of Shri Krishna. ________________________________________ 1:25 – 2:00 | The Art and Science of Work We have been discussing the art and science of work. Spirituality does not mean giving up work. That is why Lord Krishna spoke the Bhagavad Gita on a battlefield, not in a forest or cave. ________________________________________ 2:01 – 5:00 | Why Bhagavad Gita Was Spoken in the Battlefield Arjuna and Duryodhana both came to seek Krishna’s help. Krishna said, “On one side is my army, on the other is me, unarmed. Arjuna, you choose first.” Arjuna instantly chose Krishna Himself, not the army. Yet when the war began, he hesitated to fight. Krishna then made Arjuna fall into ignorance intentionally — to teach the timeless wisdom of the Gita for humanity. Hence, Gita was not for Arjuna alone, but for all of us. ________________________________________ 6:00 – 7:15 | Message of the Gita: Spirituality in Action Krishna chose the battlefield deliberately. The message: even in the toughest conditions of worldly life, one can remain spiritual. If Arjuna could practice devotion amid war, anyone can — doctors, engineers, teachers — no excuses. ________________________________________ 7:34 – 8:09 | Root of Stress Stress means your intention is impure. You are doing the work not for God’s pleasure but for yourself. When you act for God, there is no stress. ________________________________________ 8:12 – 9:47 | Example of the Crying Volunteer Swamiji narrates: A young volunteer in India cried when a spiritual program failed. Swamiji said — “This means you were not doing it for God but for your own ego. If it were for God, results would not disturb you.” ________________________________________ 10:00 – 11:02 | Purify the Intention The essence of Karma Yoga: Do every work for the pleasure of God. When the mind is attached to God, it detaches from the world automatically. ________________________________________ 11:25 – 13:45 | Duty Without Attachment Some ask: “If we are detached, how can we care for family?” Swamiji explains through a story — A mother attached to her child spoils him with indulgence, ignoring the doctor’s advice, whereas a nurse would act rationally. Attachment distorts duty, while detachment purifies it. ________________________________________ 13:50 – 16:16 | Story of the Thief and His Mother A mother failed to discipline her son when he first stole a pencil. The boy grew up to become a thief and murderer. Before execution, he blamed his mother: “Had you punished me once, I’d never have become this.” Lesson: Attachment prevents us from doing our rightful duty. ________________________________________ 17:00 – 18:00 | Detachment Brings Efficiency Detachment doesn’t mean carelessness — it means balance. When detached, the intellect is calm and capable of right action. ________________________________________ 18:12 – 20:00 | Definition of Karma Yoga Karma + Yoga = Acting while remaining connected with God. Perform all duties — at home or work — but without mental negativity. A true Karma Yogi keeps the mind anchored in God while acting. ________________________________________ 20:10 – 21:10 | The Misunderstanding of Partial Devotion Some think doing a few minutes of prayer makes them Karma Yogis. Krishna sets a higher standard — to remain in remembrance of God constantly, even during worldly work. ________________________________________ 21:20 – 22:12 | Presence of God Everywhere You feel God’s presence in the temple — now learn to feel it everywhere. The Vedas say: “The whole universe is God’s temple.” Always remain aware that He is with you, protecting and watching you. ________________________________________ 22:30 – 24:30 | The Two Birds Analogy (from Upanishads) Two birds sit on a tree — one eats fruits (sweet or bitter), the other simply watches. The eating bird represents the soul (Atma); the observing one, God (Paramatma). When the soul turns toward God, all suffering ends. ________________________________________ 25:01 – 26:30 | Ultimate Message Through Karma Yoga — working in God’s presence — your intentions purify. As they purify, stress disappears. Even challenges become peaceful when your purpose is divine. Stress is a signal — reminding you to deepen your surrender. ________________________________________ Essence of the Talk 1. Stress arises from ego-driven motives. When our intentions are self-centered, our peace is lost. 2. Karma Yoga is the art of working without selfishness — offering all actions to God. 3. The Bhagavad Gita was revealed in the battlefield to prove spirituality is not escapism but transformation in action. 4. Detachment does not mean coldness — it means performing one’s duty with love but without possessiveness. 5. Purity of intention is the real measure of spirituality, not external success or failure. 6. Remembering God in all circumstances — not only during worship — transforms every act into meditation. 7. When you live and work in God’s presence, stress, anger, and anxiety dissolve naturally, leaving peace and joy behind.
