Our sages never accept the demigods and demigoddess in their Paroksha form (The one which cannot be perceived through senses). When they are saying, "Swasti Na Indrah", arms present in your body are here being referred to. Your arms. The energy through which my arms are functioning, is referred as 'Indra'. In some places, Indra is also referred to as the demigod of mind. Your arms don't move on their own, mind makes them move. Some of you here, have put your hands in your pockets like this... So, have the hands moved inside the pockets on their own or the mind said its cold and it's fine to keep them inside? One said that I forgot to carry my jacket- saw the jacket of the person sitting next and slid the hand into that All are our own. Never mind! No problem! Mind moves the arms. Now, they are saying, "Swasti Na Indrah, Vriddha Shravah" Indro - the one that is ancient. Not old, but the one that is ancient. Because this entire creation is quite old. Since when it is there? It's difficult to calculate. Since when is this creation? So, it has to be said that it's origin is unknown It's said that it is from primordial times. Quite a many things in our sacred scriptures are referred to as 'Anandi'- primordial. Some people say, "what a stupid thing?" If anything that is not clear, is referred to as Anandi. Tell the date when it was created? Recently, I was present at an event of Sagar University. So, I asked a gentleman sitting just in front of me, "What's your age?" He was sitting right in the front. Maybe he was a senior professor. I asked his, "How old are you?" He said, "Seventy-Two." I instantly said, "you're lying." He said, "No I am really Seventy-Two." I said "no, you're still lying." He said, "No, I am sure" "I am definitive, I am Seventy-Two." I said, "you're still lying." "and I'm adamantly going to say this." He said, "but how can you say what's my age?" I said, "but I know the science which you don't know." And my science says, "your age is Seventy-Two years and nine months." You forgot to add those nine months along with Seventy-Two years. When you were in your mother's womb. Had you been not there in your mother's womb, then the one who is counting seventy-two years would have ever existed? So, this gentleman was clapping loudly and jumping on his seat. Seventy-Two years and Nine months. Okay dear! Let me ask you. Is your age in addition to nine months or some days less than nine months? Do you know this? He said, even my mom is not alive now from whom I could inquire. So I asked, "can you answer confidently how old are you?" He said, "it has become a question mark in my head now." "Mother who could answer this, isn't alive now." "The midwife who did my delivery, isn't alive." "Whom should I ask from?" Now see! Some one stays in their mother womb for eight months, somebody seven months, some one seven and half, some one for eight and half, some one for quarter to nine and there are some who stayed even for nine and half months too. Hmm! Stay in their mother's womb. So that age also should be added or not? Okay! Where were you before entering mother's womb? Somewhere you were present or not? Like, if we exclude those nine months of mother's womb, your present age wouldn't have existed. Your body wouldn't have existed. So, if those nine months are important for calculation, then I take my query even further. My Lord! Where were you before those nine months? Will have to admit that one was present in the form of semen in father's body. Right? Right? So in a way, the age of the body of father is yours. Isn't it? Had father been not there, a part of father (child) also wouldn't have existed. Had part of father been not there, then who would have reached the womb of mother? Let's take the question even further, Where were you before entering the body of your father? Got confused or not? See! Isn't it a logical question? A person asked a Swamiji, "Where were you putting up before living in this ashram?" People meet me and I am also questioned this quite often. These days, a lot of information about me is available though published books and other media like birth place etc. many queries get answered. But still if someone is not aware, he or she inquires Where were you living before Ganaur? I said, "In the abode of Lord." They say, "You're joking." I said what's joke in this? I said, "I can prove this." Any city, any state or any country.. at a certain point of time, it wasn't there. What was there, just a piece of land. Then earth was also not there. Some billion or trillion years ago? What was there? Just a burning fragment. that got separated from its host planet -was divided into two parts. One was the moon and other one that became Earth later. Right? So when Earth was not a planet, where was it? So where was Earth before it wasn't Earth? Was a part of a big planet. Was a part of Sun. What was that Sun part of? Sun was a part of that milky way. Milky way is a part of this universe. The universe is part of this infinite universe. Infinite universe is a part of that Parmatma So where would my home be? Why do you consider this one which is so small- should go somewhat backwards too. So upon asking, Mahatmas in their simplistic ways say, "they have come from the abode of Lord." Say, where will you go? "In the home of Lord." Where are you right now? They say, "even now dwelling in the home of Lord" It's a non-transferable situation. "Indra" One who is a demigod of your arms. Since when it exists? It's ancient. It's ancient. 'Vriddha' means ancient. Mature! Ancient! "Swasti Na Poosha Vishwa-Vedaah" 'Poosha' See! Rishi is moving from a fragment towards universe. Firstly, they talked about 'Indra' and now they are talking about 'Poosha' which means the Sun. 'Svasti Nah' - May remain healthy 'Sva - Asth' - One that remains established in Self. Who? The Sun. What is the dharma of the Sun? To impart light. What is the attribute of the Sun? To radiate. So, the Rishi is saying - This sun should always keep illuminating me. Your body can't function and the entire Creation cannot function if there is no Sun. In this prayer, firstly, the senses are discussed and then later it's talking about the elements or powers of the universe. Now, It's talking about the Sun. What is Sun? The one that is full of Knowledge. The one who is Knower of all, should bless us. My beloved Master is my Sun. The way Earth revolves around the Sun, similarly I keep spinning around my Master in divine Love. Guruji is my centerpiece. Illuminating, All-Knowing. All Knowledge. All Light. This is all about love. So, the Guru is also known as the Sun. Rishi says, "Swasti Nastaaksharyo Arishtanemih" These powers of the wind, may never work opposite of me; may they never trouble me I shouldn't bear loss (Arishta) owing to them. Now, what can be the sufferings due to wind? One is the wind that is blowing outside. Like, Tornadoes attack. Fierce storms come. Create a lot of destruction. So, if one who gets caught in such destructive stormy forces, meaning he'll be engrossed with the Aadi Bhautik Dukhas- resulting in the end of Dharma, Karmas, and spiritual or religious pursuits in his life. So it's better if the wind blows slowly, sweetly and nicely. But what if it starts blowing with high velocity? When Tsunami comes, it's been recorded that the winds blow at a high speed of 300 to 400 Km/hr. How much of destruction does it do? Similarly, there are five Prana vayus present in our body. All those who have come for the first time, I would suggest them to read and gain some knowledge in regards to this subject. So, my discourses where I have discussed upon texts like Vichar Chandra Uday, Bhagwad Gita or Yoga The five Prana Vayus have been explained in great detail- You may study them from there and gain knowledge. Prana, Apana, Vyana, Udana and Samana, These five Pranas are present in the body.. So, the wind that is blowing inside as well as outside the body, should bless me. When the inner Prana gets imbalanced, Like..... the Prana Vayu when gets imbalanced, can result into brain stroke. Can lead to Heart Stroke. Apana vayu, when gets imbalanced, the organs start drifting towards downward direction. From uterus to cervix, Prostrate gland issues in men, all these are due to imbalanced Apana Vayu in the body. So, the body should remain healthy. The five Pranas present in the body should boost good health. Should remain balanced and shouldn't cause diseases. And the wind that is blowing outside should also be pleasant. It shouldn't trouble us. "Swasti Na Brihaspatir-dadhaatu" If some priest would be listening this shaloka right now, would think that it's the Jupiter Planet that is being talked about and should bless us. They see the chart and say at times that your Jupiter is very weak. You should wear Jupiter stone. In the index finger. Yellow Sapphire. One of a profound scholar used to say that if Jupiter planet gets pleased by wearing Yellow Sapphire, then one should eat yellow pulses, wear yellow clothes, eat yellow rice and should paint his car yellow too. Water to be drunk, should also be made yellow. 'Brahaspati' means demigod of intellect. Like, with the exercise, the muscles become strong. Should do sit-ups. The muscles of the body becomes strong. Similarly, when we contemplate through this intellect do research, think Listen, repeat listening again and again, This is the mental exercise of our intellect. Like, regular physical exercise or Yoga keeps your body fit and healthy, Similarly, with regular listening, contemplating and meditating upon texts or discourses of a Mahatma, our intellect gets evolved. Becomes strong. So that our intellect remain blessed by Jupiter (Brahaspati) and may we keep getting spiritual wealth, As per astrology, if one's Jupiter is well placed in natal chart will get a lots of wealth. He will get lot of money. At times, its said one would not only get money but would also get a big fat stomach. So, if Jupiter is strong then wealth. But if you consider money as true wealth, then you are not a person who is highly graced by Jupiter. It means you're not an intellectual being.
