“There was a sadhu called Shivananda - Ramakrishna’s direct disciple.”

There was a sadhu called Shivananda - Ramakrishna’s direct disciple. He initiated this Tapasyananda. All of you are able to catch up all these trees I am telling? Ramakrishna’s disciple.... Ramakrishna is one of the greatest incarnation. His disciple is Shivananda. That Shivananda’s disciple is this Tapasyananda. When Shivananda gave the name Tapasyananda Tapasyananda asked, “Baba give me guru vakya” Guruvakya means, one word - the Guru’s order. Shivananda looked and said, “Be tapasyananda, that’s all”. Means have the austerity - tapas. Then Tapasyananda asked, “Can you describe tapas.” Ahimsa, Satya, Asteya, Aparigraha, Brahmacharya. Just that five words he gave - Ahimsa, Satya, Aparigraha, Asteya, Brahmacharya; over, that’s all. This fellow just with lived it... just lived with it.

So decide strongly... with this standard of Tapasyananda and Vairagyananda, having them in your Consciousness, separate every item, take up and see. “Is this required for me... for me to live for next 48 days?” If you don’t, then dump it. Whatever is required tie it in a cloth and bring it. I wanted you to bring the whole thing next session. You see, next session you will bring your bag with which you are going to live for next 48 days; nothing other than that you will use on your body in the next 48 days. You see I am not going to open the bag and see and all. No, no, don’t worry, I am not going to interfere in your privacy and open the bag and see. But I wanted to see.... the depth of aparigraha can get into in your system. So, just have one ordinary cloth and pack it and bring. No, I wanted you to go through this conscious exercise. I am telling you, really I am telling you, when you hit the basic survival need things of your body, the extraordinary energies of your body gets awakened. Push it to the maximum. Try.

Without disturbing your health; but anywhere health is disturbing don’t do it... because your health is first priority. If you can manage without disturbing your health take it up. Take it up, I tell you, it will really do so much to you, so much to you. When you just look, “Oh God this is the total connection between me and the world; Nothing more.” It’s a liberation; such liberation I tell you. “Wow this is the whole, my property, wealth.” Strength of aparigraha, suddenly the strength of aparigraha, can just change the very system of your body.

So everybody what all you are going to use for next 48 days pack it and bring it. Pick up one by one and see...meditate on it 5 minutes. “Do I need this for next 48 days?” Yes - put this side. No - put that side. And after you collected all the objects with which you said yes, go through once more. Pick up ... “do I really, really, really need? ☺ For next 48 days? Maybe not” Then drop. Before your mind says “no, no. May be”...drop it. Try. Try this aparigraha.

And asteya – do not touch anybody’s property, do not steal anybody’s property. ☺ Don’t... I don’t have my shampoo ☺ I don’t have my soap. I don’t have...No. I don’t have my chappal. ☺ Do not pick up anybody’s items.

Neem juice...very good. If you are allergic don’t take. If you are allergic don’t take. Otherwise have at least little. Little means quarter litre - 250 ml. It will really, really help you with this whole process. Because we are working on the body it will be really good if you cooperate with all that.

Mud plate, mud pot - it’s a very traditional way of eating, very good for your health, very good for health. Still in Bharatn villages people eat in the mud plate. There is another one fruit velangai 6:16. If you see our brahmacharis eating... any of you guys did you see our brahmacharis eating? It is a special fruit... if you put the hard/hot food into that, one part of that fruit comes in that which becomes a medicine; very good for liver. I was using that for long time. The aghoris eat in skull. Nirvani, nirvani akhada, our sampradaya; they basically eat in human skull. There are 3 options. First priority is human skull, the second priority is this fruit but we will not be able to get both; don’t worry. The third priority is the mud pot. Fourth only is steel plate.

So satya means talking the truth.

Compassion - be compassionate to your own feelings and the enlightened science, Science of Enlightenment.

Third aparigraha: sit and scan everything and have only minimum things. The remaining don’t throw it away, pack it and keep it separately... don’t touch; take it back when you go back, that’s all. Learning aparigraha

And asteya: don’t steal anybody’s ... non-stealing

And brahmacharya: physically being away from touching the other bodies.

Practically I am getting you back to 5000 year old Vedic tradition in every step; so completely reorganising your body and mind for Ayurveda... for Ayurveda. After Swatmarama Buddha did, after Buddha Ramakrishna did, after Ramakrishna first time this process is being practiced now. In last 5000 years Swatmarama, Buddha, Ramakrishna and fourth time this process is done with group of disciples... in last 5000 years. Understand you are fortunate having a Master and directly working with Him.

Any of you find any difficulty please don’t stretch yourself or don’t create... don’t suffer.

Ahimsa - non violence,

Satya – truthfulness,

Asteya – non-stealing,

Aparigraha - living with minimal things and

Brahmacharya – not touching the other bodies.

It’s not only our religious faith; it’s a very powerful system, technique for Enlightenment.

So I will really prescribe, whoever trusts Me, I will really prescribe - even in your homes have small deity; whatever God you like, whatever Deity you like – like a Shiva or Rama, Krishna or Jesus, or any saint or any Guru or any Avatar; have small deity and it will do so much to you. Having deity and feeling it is a living God, not representation of God, it is God - does so much to you, your inner space and for your Enlightenment. I can tell you even having a pet makes you more healthy. Having a deity makes you physically and mentally healthy. I can say conscious pet is ishta devata. Conscious pet...pet in ordinary way is pet – dog, cat, snake, what all they have as pets.

I am giving ... our whole sangha is built on three statement.

One: God can be realised in the human body - First statement.

Second statement: I realised it.

Third statement: I can help you to realise it.
