Today we have gathered here to do Puja to Bhairavnath.
I think we have not understood
the significance of Bhairavnath
who runs, and up and down on the Ida Nadi.
Ida Nadi is the Nadi of Chandrama, is of the moon.
So, this is a channel for us to cool down.
So the work of Bhairavnathji is to cool us down.
For example, people have a hot temper,
with their ego, with their liver, whatever it is.
And if a person is in a big temper,
then Bhairavnath plays tricks on that person
to cool him down.
He organises everything under his own control
with ganas help, with Ganapati's help,
to cool down your temperament, to give you a balance.
So, if somebody is a very hot-tempered person,
and he crosses all the limits of his temper,
then somehow or other,
Bhairavnath will organize,
also with the help of Hanumana,
to show that this stupidity of anger is no good.
So, for example, people who are depressed
or who become left-sided,
Hanumana tries to help them to come out of it.
No doubt, but also Bhairavnath helps them
very much more to come out of it.
Now, a person who is left-sided cannot be collective.
It is very difficult for a person
who is very left-sided,
who is all the time feeling very sad,
unhappy and worried,
cannot enjoy the fun of collectivity.
While a hot-tempered person, a right-sided person,
does not enjoy any collectivity,
doesn't allow anybody to enjoy collectivity, no doubt,
but tries to be in the collective that it can assert.
Because such a person tries to show the superiority,
is something superior.
Naturally he cannot enjoy the collective.
On the contrary, the person who is depressed,
all the time thinks,
"Nobody loves me, nobody cares for me,
I'm so depressed," this, that,
all the time expecting from others something,
also cannot enjoy the collective.
Such a left-sided person will find
everything is something unhappy.
Like the other day, I went to Moscow.
There was a lady with us who was a Sahaja Yogini,
left-sided Sahaja Yogini.
So, we went to have our food
and it started raining and they couldn't get a taxi,
but then a car came in and we went there.
Then they said that
"You are very late so you have to sit on the other side,
you have to take the seats which were more expensive."
So this lady started saying,
"What all problems, no taxi, it is raining
and we can't get a seat."
I said, "This is all fun;
this is not something a problem."
This 'problema' word should be given up.
This is a new word I have learned,
because 'problem' we used to use only for geometry
in our young age.
Now, this sort of a attitude, negative attitude,
to find everything negative
is the way we really spoil our left side.
But then a gentleman who had invited us came
and he said, "We are sitting on the other side waiting for you.'
So we went to the other side, enjoyed nice food,
everything was fine.
I said, "See now, you were only counting
how many negative things there are,
and you were not seeing the fun."
So she asked Me, "What should I do?" I said,
"You take Bhairava's name,
sit with your left hand towards the photograph
and right hand on the Mother Earth
and that's how all your bhoots of negativity will go away."
So, Bhairava is, always has a light in His hand,
always light in His hand.
And He runs up and down
Ida Nadi to make light for you to see that there's nothing negative.
And this negativity comes to us by many ways.
One of the negativities are that,
"This is mine",
like, "My child, my husband, my property, my ..."
So then, you see, once you get attached
in this manner, what you find,
that your children also become negative.
But if you want to be positive, it is very easy.
And for that you should see, 'Where is your attention?"
Are you only seeing problema
or you are seeing some fun in it?
There are people who cannot make fun out of anything.
If it's a sunny day they'll cry, "Oh God, what a sunny day!"
and if it is a day with clouds they will say,
"Oh, what a day!"
Nothing can please them.
But to enjoy the positivity in every negativity
is the capacity of a Sahaja Yogi.
The negativity doesn't exist - it's an ignorance.
Also, it's not ignorance, because ignorance also doesn't exist.
If everything is the All-Pervading Power,
then how can there be ignorance?
But supposing, in the folds of this power,
if you hide, run away,
you will say that there is negativity.
Like, you hide yourself in a cave,
close it properly, and say that there is no sun.
So those people who cannot become collective,
are either right-sided or left- sided but more left-sided.
But left- sided people can be collective in negativity.
They say there is a very big fraternity of bhoots.
Ah, you see some drunkards sitting together.
They are saying, "See there's so many problem, ecological problem."
They are drunkards, all drunk,
and "There are problems of so other kinds.
When will this end?"
So the another one says, "Wait, wait, wait.
I've heard that the whole world is going to collapse very soon."
Then the third one says,
"Thank God! We are going to be collapsed, finished."
Then fourth one says, "But what will happen to our pubs?"
They say, "It's all right. If we are not existing, what does it matter?"
That's how the fraternity of the bhoots act.
They cannot see fun at all,
they cannot enjoy at all,
and they become very,
sort of think they are very meditative,
they are some higher people, they are something superior
in negativity.
But, end of these people is that they become lunatics,
while the end of the right-sided - they become idiotic.
Once I went to a lunatic asylum,
and while going there I met a lady,
and she was quite all right, I mean,
I thought she was a quite all right woman,
so I started talking to her.
And she started talking very wisely,
"See, my brother- in- law is there, and
isn't it necessary that he should be helped,
and we should not do this, that..."
All kinds of things she was telling Me,
showing Me, as if she was very nice and kind
and no one loves her.
And she said, "I'm very insecure" and this and that.
Suddenly the doctor came in
and she started abusing him, shouting at him.
I said, "What's this?"
So the doctor sent for people that,
"Catch hold of this woman!"
He told Me, "She's the most violent lunatic
and why are You talking to her?"
I did have a headache but I didn't know she was a lunatic.
Maybe in My presence, as bhoot might have little bit
run away and were playing tricks,
but you can see that, clearly.
So, this emotional attachment is too much,
and to emotionally, to worry about somebody, that
you see, "This is my child, this is my this thing,
this is this and this is that,"
and all the time wasting your precious life
in these things is not the way a Sahaja Yogi should live.
If a Sahaja Yogi cannot become collective,
then know that he is not a Sahaja Yogi.
So, one has to know that
this is the work of Bhairavnath within us.
Another work that He gives us light in darkness is that,
that He, He destroys all the bhoots within us.
And all kinds of bhootish ideas
and funny ideas about attachments
and also the depressiveness.
So, today we are, I am very happy
that we are worshipping Shri Bhairava
because He is very much connected with Ganesha.
As you know Shri Ganesha is at the Mooladhara
and while Bhairava moves onto the left side
and goes to the right side.
So, all kinds of conditionings, all kinds of habits,
can be conquered through the help of Bhairavnath.
In Nepal we have a very huge, big Bhairavnath statue
which is really Swayambhu.
And people are more left-sided,
so they are afraid of Bhairavnath.
So, if somebody has a bad habit, say, of stealing,
they take him to the, to in front of Bhairavnath
and put His light there, make a flame.
I mean, the police takes them,
and then they ask them, "Now, say before Bhairavnath, confess it."
And they confess what wrong they have done.
So, He protect us, also from doing wrong things,
sly things like thieving.
Whatever we think we can do secretly, can be hidden,
but you cannot hide it from Bhairavnath.
If you don't change, then He exposes you completely.
That's how He has exposed all the horrible false gurus.
So, today we are here to worship
this great Deity of Bhiaravnatha
who incarnated on this earth later on,
ultimately as Mahavira also.
So, He stands on the gate of hell
and stops people from falling into hell.
But if you want to go to hell,
if it is your desire, is your willpower like that working,
that I should go to hell,then He says,
'All right, you can go.'
But as you know, now the hell is also full of people,
so is better that we should try to fight our negativity
and become fun-loving, enjoying others, loving others,
not worrying about what others are doing to you,
but only thinking what good you can do to others.
So today's special Puja for Bhairavnath we offer,
to give us a sense to laugh, to enjoy, to have fun.
May God bless you all.
