 India will be blessed because the light has come

Jaipur Meeting March 27, 1986

 In this world people cannot understand God in full.  You just talk some philosophies what some person has written.  Actually Bhagavad Gita cannot be explained even by some of the great people.  He who wrote it, He has come down and explains it.  Man's nature is, he will believe only someone, if he comes from his own religion or his own race.  Two months before 1969 I was asked to talk to some Americans in Ohio.  As I was preaching there, they were just ordinary people.  They had cigarettes and whisky bottles and all these things and they were just having a good time and they asked me to talk.  It was a function, as I was preaching suddenly many of them saw me disappear from the crowd.  But I was preaching but they saw Jesus standing there.  And immediately they got afraid and started running here and there.  And there was fire coming from my eyes.  But I was standing there they didn't see me.  So after the meeting was finished they slowly came and asked me where did you go?  I said, I was standing here.  "No, no, no we saw somebody else".  And then God spoke to me that on (July) 21st when man lands on the moon, then Narayana will come into my body.  So I was taken by car to Chicago, and as we were in Chicago, one hour before man landed on the moon, the powerful Spirit of Narayana came into my body.  And the first thing He said was "I have come down, anyone who believes in me shall never die".  I was thinking all the while that we had to die and go.  But He shouted in me and said, "Those who believe on me shall never die".  As I came out of the building, the building caught fire and burned.  Then I came to India.  And when I came back to India I was coming like a different man.  The clouds were there, the clouds which appeared to me in Chicago, they followed me up to India and came to my place where I stayed.  And there was lightning there.  And my wife did not believe anything.  But she saw the cloud on the top of the roof.  So we were going to the mother-in-law's house.  So she said, "If this cloud follows us and then comes back to the same place I will believe your message".  You know it is very hard to make my wife believe.  As we were going about 15 miles this cloud rotated and came with the car.  We stayed for about 1 hour in that house and when we came back that cloud with lightning came back to the same house where we stayed.  Then she said, "I believe that".

          It is up to you to believe.  But you must understand, whether Bible, or Koran, or Bhagavad Gita or Bhagavatham, you cannot understand the real meaning without the help of Narayana.  I was in the big meeting and I was the speaker there, and there was a main speaker there also.  And when I went there to preach the main speaker had some trouble in his neck, he could not bend his neck.  So he could not preach.  So I told him I can touch you and your pain will go.  As I touched him the pain went and the man was alright, but immediately the wife came and got angry because the whole crowd came after me.  Then they told me, "Get out of this place because we are all white people, you pray for the black people.  In fifteen minutes you leave the place".  Then I came back.  So you can understand in every country when a nation conquers a country, first they destroy the culture of the country.  Now our Indian culture is a supreme culture.  But what happened when the British came, they changed the name of the places to destroy the culture.  Some became Muslims, some became Christians.  But the cream of the Hindus they never went to that, because those religions they can never give them their culture.  When I travelled around the world nine times I used to challenge the people, come to India and see our culture. You have guns but we have the culture, and we are waiting for the last days.

          First of all we must know how to get God into our lives.  Our heart is the door to God , not your mind.  This mind will have so many things and reasoning’s to understand.  You can talk about love in the mind and brain.  When a girl and boy love they talk from the heart not from the brain.  When there are two friends they don't have friendship through the brain but through the heart.  So we must be attached to God in the heart.  God is touching the heart, you have to open the heart.  Many years He has been talking to you, many times you are in danger.

          I remember one time I was going in a car in Ceylon, as I was going... then I got on a cycle.  As I was going suddenly a car came behind me, an unseen hand pushed me.  I fell down; I just got up and I said, "Who pushed me?"  But there was no man.  But just behind me a car went and knocked against a post.  You may be in the military, how many times you must have escaped danger.  Those are times when God is talking to your heart.  And with all our karma we are not able to reach God.  The only thing is, we cannot reach God because of our karma.  So this karma does not allow us to get Gnaanam (knowledge of God).  So we have to go with the five senses.  We are put in a body of five senses which blocks our way to the knowledge of God.  If you are living only for the things of this world without thinking about God why should you lead a good life?  You can eat and drink and be merry because tomorrow you die as a beast.  There is a difference between us and the beasts.  We are able to attain God but the beasts cannot do that.  We have got a soul which is for the other world.

          In an egg there is a chicken.  It has got two legs, it has a beak, it has got eyes, it has got a wing.  All this doesn't belong for inside the egg.  But once that egg breaks all this is useful for the other world.  There are so many things in our hearts which the world cannot satisfy.  The pleasures of the world cannot satisfy you.  God has put something in our hearts which cannot be satisfied with any of the things in this world.  That place can be satisfied only by God himself.  That is why God knocks at your door.  He may talk through some saint, and the people don't understand.  So He comes down and talks to you; and whether you can find out?

          There was a mother who had a daughter.  She can't hear, she can't speak, she can't see and that body can't walk, she can't move her hands.  And the mother was trying to make that child understand.  But the child could not understand.  So the mother was telling, I would give anything if this baby could understand me; So we are like that with the five senses of this world, we can't understand God.  But to understand God we must hear His voice, we must study the scriptures.  Then only you can understand God.  Today there are many temples and many churches but they don't do what Bhagavad Gita says.  If you study Bhagavad Gita well then you can understand God very clearly.  That is why God knocks at your door.  We must know who is knocking at our hearts, then only we will open the door.  My dear friends, you must know who is knocking at your door then you open the heart suddenly.  Till then you won't open the door.  It may be a thief, it may be a murderer, it may be a rogue, but you must know who is knocking at your door.  God wants to come into your heart.  God wants to have fellowship with man.  But He cannot have fellowship because man doesn't understand God.

          So this mother tried to talk with this girl, "my darling child".  But she can't see, she can't talk, but the mother comes at a particular time to give food.  And like this it went on for sometime.  One day the mother went somewhere, at 12 o' clock she will give the food.  But the mother came a little late.  She came running to the baby, as the mother came, when she touched the body this little baby started shaking the body.  Then the mother said, "Oh my daughter understands me, I can see from the shaking of the body that she is hungry".  Like that my friends, you are not able to understand God.  Atleast you can shake your body like that baby.  How happy the mother was.  If you only just give a signal that you want God how happy God will be.  He doesn't want to force you, He wants you to open, out of love.

          There was a mother who had a nice beautiful girl born.  After sometime suddenly the house caught fire and nobody could save that child and the mother was crying and the fire was catching them.  The mother escaped but nobody could save that baby.  Then a young boy ran into the house, put the blanket covered the baby and came running out.  The young man's face was all burned, he gave the child to the mother and fainted.  His face became like a monkey's face.  He was in the hospital for two years and after that he was healed, he was able to walk but the face was like a monkey's face.  By that time the child was able to walk and run about, she was a beautiful child.  One day this man came, knocked at the door and the servant came and opened the door.  And the child was there.  And the boy said... he touched the child.  The child ran to the mother, "Mummy a monkey is calling me, there is a monkey in the house".  So the mother went there, she saw the man and she said, "My boy come".  Then she called the girl, "My sweet girl, your beautiful face is because of him, because of saving you he got a monkey face.  And he came to knock at your door, are you calling him a monkey?"  The girl fell down and cried, "I am sorry mother".  And the girl went and touched the face, "You are my God because of me you got this bad face.  I have a beautiful face because of you, I love you, forgive me for closing the door".  Then the man was happy.

          In the same way, Narayana, He saved you.  All through the ages He has done so many things for you, for your forefathers.  But you people, you have so many things in this world, and today He comes and knocks at your door.  Are you opening the door or closing the door?  My dear friends, He comes like a man, when you open your heart you must recognize Him when He comes to your house.  It is a fellowship with God.  "God is in heaven", every christian will say.  They will look up.  But when God comes to your house they don't understand.  That is why today we are conducting the meetings here to tell you that God is great; He wants you to open your heart by your will not by force.  Do you hear His voice?  Do you hear the power of His voice?  It is life for you.

          For forty five years my wife and my three children, all the family are depending on God, trusting God all these years.  And Narayana never failed us, He always blessed us.  For (You to get) that blessing we have come to you.  And the whole India will be blessed because the light has come.  Either you will follow the light or follow the darkness.  I don't care for the crowd, I don't care for the bulk of the army.  Are you loving God?  God wants a set of people.  My dear Hindu friends, what is your hope today?  What is the state of your country today?  It is divided and divided, and divided.  Even the Hindu religion is divided.  The Christians have got Rome, Muslims have Mecca, where will the Hindus go?  My dear friends, think for a minute, you are crying, "Oh my country".  You are converting to muslim religion, you are going to Christianity, but there is no hope in those religions.  So you have to have hope on something.  What is your hope today?  Narayana is your hope,  He has got all the power in this world to destroy.  Bhagavad Gita says that.  Do you know the Vishwarupa of Krishna?  That is why He was able to destroy everything.  With that destructive power God came through Krishna  .  But He never used it.  In the last days when He comes He will use it.  What is the power of the voice of God?  Narayana is the voice of God, unseen God.  God whom you cannot see, He is everywhere.  He is in the stone, He is in the fire, He is in the chicken.

          You know when I got that realization...... I don't know how people can eat meat.  You have no power to cut any animal or any beast.  God has given enough vegetables for you to eat.  The original diet for the Indians, they were all vegetarians.  If you realize God in all the animals, birds, and chickens, and all you won't touch it.  When I got that realization I stopped that.  Today I am very happy.  My blood pressure has gone; if you have blood pressure, if you become vegetarian it will be much better for you.  If you have piles, if you stop eating meat most of the piles will go away.  That is my experience.  Otherwise I would have been dead and gone.  But after 1969 when Narayana came into my body I know I can't die until my mission is accomplished in India.  Because I know God sent me for India to save the Hindu people.  I am your hope today.  There are many Bhagwans... I am man but may God open your eyes to make you understand who I am.

          One day a Police man came, he was trying to scold me.  "What is this you are talking?"  We were sitting in front of each other, suddenly he saw a terrible light in my face, he just fell down.  "I am sorry".  I said, "Why do you say you are sorry?"  "You are not Mr. Lawrie, but you are somebody else".  Why I am telling you this.... First of all you must understand the Word of God.

          Now suppose I am the director of a firm.... I have got the power, if I speak something the firm obeys me.  If I am a military commander I have a voice, if I say shoot they have to shoot.  That is the power of a commander.  Like that everybody has got some power in the voice.  In the same way, President Reagan is the voice of America, Rajiv Gandhi is the voice of India, Russian Prime Minister is the voice of Russia, Thatcher is the voice of England.  Like that Zia is the voice of Pakistan.  What is the voice of God?  They have power.  Today (it) Reagan starts a war it will start, nobody can stop that.  Today if Russia says, start a war they will start it.  The whole Russian army is there.  The voice of Reagan, all the weapons of America is at his back.  Suppose I am doing an agency business, I may be a poor man.  I may get a salary, but if I have a guarantee for a certain thing I can tell the company, this is under repair, change the thing and give me, the company obeys me.  I was in Vellore hospital for five years.  I was in charge of purchase and all.  I was a great power there.  I had so many people under me, if I tell something they have to obey.  Like that every man is a voice of something.  But Narayana is the voice of God.  If He tells something the whole thing will act.  The creation took place like that.  That is why whatever He spoke has got power.  He spoke through Mohammad in the Koran.  He spoke through Jesus in the Bible, He spoke through Krishna in Bhagavad Gita.  But these three don't clash, but the people clash.  They want to enslave another people.  But now see, never in the Muslim Koran does it say, go and attack and convert people, it never says in the Koran go and attack the people and convert them.  But see the conversions.  They brought the sword and made the people convert.  But that is not in Koran.  It says never attack but when somebody comes to attack, you can defend.  But people who don't believe the Koran did all kinds of dirty things.

          What is the hope of Hindus today?  Even Bhagavad Gita they cannot understand.  The Christians don't understand the Bible.  One morning at 12 o' clock God woke me up.  He said take the Vedas and He explained to me.  So I challenged the Christians and they got angry.  You are doing something against the Bible, all your culture is wrong.  But see the Hindus the practicing the Bible but you don't practice the Bible.  They (Hindus) are the people who do what the Bible says.  But they don't have the Bible.  You (Christians) have the Bible and do all atrocities.  How can you be God's people?  I don't want that religion and today I love the Hindus.  But the Hindus are divided today.  What are they waiting for today?  They have no Mecca, they have no Rome.  They brought that Pope here, why did you bring the pope here?  Because that does not mean that India needs a pope.  India doesn't need a pope because the religion here is Hinduism which is far superior to western countries.

          What is our hope today?  There is a group of Hindus in India they won't be gathered under anything.  They will be gathered under Narayana only.  They have been waiting all these years.  Why didn't they put Gandhiji, because that is not the remedy.  Ahimsa is not getting a beating.  If I sit quietly and get a beating and say ahimsa, that is not ahimsa.  I wait till somebody comes to attack.  If you keep quiet He will attack.  So in our country in the future we have to teach the nations.  Before that God wants to gather under Narayana.  If you know the Bhagavad Gita, if you understand Bhagavad Gita, one thing I want to tell you, Shri. Krishna was standing there.  Every Avatar, they give some hint for the coming Avatar.  So if you read Bhagavad Gita this secret the people do not know.  Narayana when He spoke through Krishna He also gave a hint for the coming Avatar.  And as a man while He is speaking He gives a revelation about Himself.  Otherwise you won't trust Him as a man.

          Arjuna said, 'Show me your form".  He showed the Vishwaroopa, that is a terrible form.  Then secondly he said, "Please show me the Vishnu form.  Then He showed that.  Then He showed the gentle form (B. Gita 11:51 - 55).  That gentle form was not Krishna's form, it was the next Avatar's form.  Then Krishna says, "If you go into Him you have no death, you can overcome your re-birth.  What form Shri. Krishna was showing as the gentle form is not His own form.  But how can the other people know it.  It is only Narayana we know that.  He shows the same form that will come back after centuries.  that form He showed to Arjuna.  And when He believed that form he got redemption.

          So in the day as I put my hands on you and pray, it is not just praying and putting my hand on you.  Don't think I am pushing you.  I don't push anybody and I have no strength to push you also.  When I put my hand it goes up through your nerves and body and blood and pulls out all what is not good in you. Many people don't believe in spirits.  Some people die on the road, that spirit can come into you.  A man may have drowned in Thames river and that spirit may come into you in India.  It wants a body until that time when God's time comes so they can take re-birth.   When this comes into you, doctors can never find out.  If you are a TB patient the doctor will put all the tests and say you got TB.  One day there was a woman, who was a patient to die within 15 days and the doctors said she would die.  We went and touched her and the spirit in her went away.  She just got up and walked and got completely healed.  Don't think I am pushing, the spirit when it goes it makes you fall down.  It makes a noise and goes.  Don't be afraid.  I come to you in love.  I want you to be free of all this because when I put my hand on you, your karma goes away.  Now who can take your karma?  Now I am a man, I appear to you as an old man.  But when I put my hand on you, your karma goes and shanti comes to you.  That shanti(peace) no Bhagwan can give you.

          All the Bhagwans who meditate on that name Lahari then only they get some relief.  So if you go and ask them they say don't utter that name.  Now some people divide that name, they say LA, LA, LA.  They say HARI, HARI, HARI.  So that name will not be told.  That is why God's name is cut into two and said Hari, Hari, Hari; In that name (Lahari) there is power.   If there is power in that name don't you think there is power in Him who possesses that name.  So when I touch you, your inner heart will say... your karma goes away, peace comes to you.  Then you will know God is in me.

          So my dear countrymen, you may be whoever it is, especially Hindus, you come closer to God.  Everybody may go to Rome and Mecca but you go to God.  God has come down to help you.  And if I was not sure I won't boldly say that.  From 1969 He is gathering the people.  There are many people in America, many in Germany, many in Malaysia.  But you must understand India is a famous country.  The British came and blacked it out.  They changed the names, that is why we do not know who we are.  People they conquer a country and change the names.  So we do not know who we are.  But I read a book some time ago about the history.  One man wrote that many people in India, they can overcome death.  If you believe our message this body will change and you will put on Narayana's body.  You will go into Him and you can overcome death and also all re-birth.  This is a great hope for the Indian people.  First the Hindus, then the others.  The Hindu people are a special people.  You do not know who you are.  You are thinking that you are worldly people.  Every country must learn Bhakthi only from the Indians.  Bhakthi is not enough.  Bhakthi on whom?

          Now suppose I put a picture and do puja.  When I go there and my wife is there, she is putting a picture of mine and doing pooja.  I come from another country after sometime to see my wife.  She won't say foe me go and do pooja to the picture and come and see me.  She won't tell me that because she will know that I am her husband.  How can I do pooja to my own picture?  So all the worship finishes in this ministry.  Now come on and rise up!  You will not only save your country but you will teach the whole world.  GOD BLESS YOU!

Gurudev Shri Lahari Krishna
