9. ‘Lahari’ name was shown to Hagar
1 Today I am going to tell you
important things. Yesterday we talked about the sacrifice. Whether it is found
in Muslim religion also we have to see.
2 You know, the Jews had the Old
Testament of the Bible, which is called Torah. And the Christians have the New
Testament, which in the Muslim's language is called ‘Injil’. And there is the
Koran for the Muslims. But many people don't read any books other than Koran.
The Christians don't read any books other than the New Testament. And the Jews
read only the Old Testament. If you want to know the real secret, you have to
read all these things.
3 Abraham - him the Muslims call
Ibrahim. God was dealing with him in a special way. And He gave lot of promises
to him.
4 Now, all the Muslims do not
belong to Abraham's children at all, there are other children also. Today we
find many Muslims and Arabs. But they must know their original parentage. It
doesn't mean, simply because they have taken circumcision, it means he is a
Muslim.
5 You know this six pointed star,
you can find in India, in the Ganapathi worship. You don't find that in the
present Muslim world. They have the five pointed star. But this Jews have the
six pointed star.
6 Akbar the great - if you see in
the Bombay Museum, there is a shield belonging to Akbar. Akbar was using that.
He was a Muslim, they say. But in that shield, there is the twelve zodiac
signs. And in that zodiac signs, the six pointed star is not in the centre. It
is near the Pisces, that is khumba rasi1. It is near the Pisces - the six pointed star is put
there. And that is a sign - that belongs to star of David, which means, that
heaven and earth is united. That unity comes only under the Son of David. That
is the star of David - belonging to David also. But the worldly people, because
of their power, they wanted to divert the people to a wrong thinking. So they
make in different ways.
7 Many people in every country,
they want to be avatars. But all are not called of God. I am doing this
ministry because God called me personally. So I know this ministry is protected
by God.
8 And today, people think that
they can create trouble in all the meetings. And you may have some personal
problems. Don't try to bring that into the meeting. We wanted to make clear
certain things which you do not know.
9 And this six pointed star,
depicts the last Avatar. He has to be born in that sign. That is the sign of
the Pisces - khumba rasi. So, he has to come in that sign. And He has to be
born in that multiple of six.
10 Why did Akbar use that sign? He
had victories. It is the sign of victory. And he ruled India and got a big
name.
11 So Ibrahim - when his child was
born,.... Now there was - his wife had no child. So his maid was given to
Ibrahim and he got a child through that maid - servant , Ibrahim's maid. And
this child was called Ishmael.
12 When he was thirteen years old,
Isaac was taken to the sacrifice. And Ibrahim wanted to kill that son. And then
God showed him a time, when one child in the line of Isaac will come at the end
time. So the promise was in the line of Isaac.
13 I told, in a family there are
friends, servants, children, wife and so many people. Ibrahim was a friend of
God. And Isaac was also a friend of God. In his line the ‘Seed’ has to come.
That is what God's book says.
14 And Abraham saw a vision and he
knew why that sacrifice was given. And he came in a covenant with God, and that
is circumcision. So that doesn't mean that only Ibrahim's family should be
there, anybody can take the covenant. So Ishmael was also circumcised and Isaac
was also circumcised.
15 But when Prophet Mohammed came,
then the book of Koran came. If you don't read the Old Testament, you will not
(understand) the promise of God in
Koran.
16 At this time something great
happened. Hagar was running with her son. There was no water. Then God spoke to
Hagar, and then there was water. Then Hagar sees God. And God shows who He
was. And Hagar tells: “Thou God who
seest me.” And she named that well: ‘Well Lahari - Lahairoi’. So she is the
only lady who knew that name of God.
17 You ask the Muslims today, if
they knew that name, today they would have been blessed. Today the devil is
very careful, that nobody will get blessed. Many people in our country in those
days, they didn't know the name of God. So they called Him ‘Muruga -
beautiful’; Allah means 'the great Tree'. Jehovah means 'Self-existent one'.
Ganapathi means 'God of forces'. Ganapathi means ‘Lord of hosts’. That means,
He is 'the chief Lord of hosts'.
18 So there are so many names given
to God. Shiva means life. All these are common names. But God has His own name.
And that is the name where there is power.
19 Now ‘Om’ means, everything coming
out of the mouth of that God is ‘Yes’, it will happen. Now, our thought becomes
the word. If a voice comes from the mouth, it can't be from the unseen God, or
from God who is like a Spirit. We don't know when we think something. But when
we speak, we give the form for our thinking.
20 So when Moosa Nabi2 asked for the
name of God, you know what God told him? “I am.” ‘I am’ is ‘Om’. So Moses got
the name ‘Om’ first. That is not for this age - long ago. ‘Om’ means, it's the
word coming from the mouth of God. It is - He is existing.
21 So when you say ‘Om Namachivaya’,
and when you keep on telling that name, you have to approach God. But there are
other names also. When you say ‘Hare Krishna’, then you come very near God.
When you say ‘Hare Rama’, that means, half of ‘Lahari’ is ‘Hari’. That means,
Narayana who came as Krishna. That is called ‘Hari Krishna’.
22 In Tibet temple, one temple will
say ‘La, La, La’, another temple will say ‘Hari, Hari, Hari’. Because you can't
tell the name of God in vain. So today, everybody know in part.
23 Suppose I have a photograph, my
wife will put that there and say that I have gone to Malaya. My wife will look
at my picture: “My husband has gone to Malaya.” But when I come back, she won't
tell me: “First of all worship your picture and come and see me.” I won't
worship my own picture.
24 I know, in this world so many
things are done in remembrance of Narayana, or Rama and Krishna. But when real
Narayana comes, I won't go to the temples to worship my own image. When I come,
my wife will immediately say - she will forget the picture and follow me.
25 But you must understand, God
always has shown the people the true way. The first time - in the Bible it is
said, that ‘Lahari’ name was shown to that Ishmael's mother. But the trouble
is, sacrifice was not given to Ishmael's mother. But what did the Muslims do?
They left that name, had Bakrid3. But
they didn't know the real meaning of Bakrid. Bakrid is to typify something to
happen later on: That God should come down and give His life. So Muslims lost
that name.
26 Adhi Shankara got the revelation
of that name. He says: “Soundarya Lahari, Anandha Lahari” - he started singing.
He sought God and he got that revelation. Without that name no dead man will
raise up.
27 The promise for Muslims through
Ishmael and other people, God will give them an earthly blessing. And today
they are enjoying the wealth of the oil and all. But they know, at the end time
one is coming to judge the world. But they don't have the revelation about that
Person who is going to come. But they know one thing: There is only one God.
28 Guru Nanak4 believed in one
God. Because the Hindus turned to many gods. Every man will point to the other
religion's mistakes. But they will never realise their own mistakes of the
books and...
29 I want every person in India to
be blessed. One day a Muslim came: “Bro. Lawrie, I am in debts; I want ten
thousand rupees.” I said: “I don't have money to give like that.” Whole night
he was talking to me for that money. I said, “You are a Muslim; you believe in
Allah. Has Allah given you peace?” - “What peace man, I am just doing the Namaz5 - I am doing
the Namaz.” - ”But how many years you are doing that?” - “I am doing this from
my childhood.” - “Have you got peace? Come, we will pray.” - “Brother, I don't
pray with other people.” - “Come on, we'll pray. We will ask Allah to give you
peace.” He got the peace. Then he embraced me. And he said, “Brother Lawrie,
hereafter I am a Muslim with the peace.”
30 If there is any Muslim brother:
You need peace? God will give you peace. You can be a Muslim, you need not
change your religion. You also have a hope in God. But you must understand,
your forefathers knew the name 'Lahari'. But you left that. And you took the
Bakrid, which is not your work.
31 Now I have three children. They
are in my house. But when they married somebody, that girl came from another
family. She has no business in our family. One day they got married. Through my
son's blood, we accepted as our daughter-in-law. That is why that girl came in.
Without the blood she could not have come into the family.
32 My brother, my father's blood is
running in him also. So it is not that - getting the blood by marriage, it is
'having the blood running in you'.
33 So when a girl comes to marry,
for her, the husband's blood is precious. But for a brother, he already has the
blood running in his veins. In the same way, suppose there is a servant,
because he is the father's servant, he is also taken into the family.
34 Recently I went to one of my
friend's wedding - my childhood friend from Vellore hospital. He invited me.
When my wife and children went there, my friend said: “Oh, these are your family!
Oh, nice to see you!” That is how we are accepted into the family of God.
35 So we must accept all the people.
We must accept the one who came through the blood. We must accept through the
blood, the brother who is containing the blood of the father. We must accept
the servant of the father. We must accept the friend of the father. So where is
the place to fight?
36 That fighting spirit is a devil's
spirit. God is not there. Like that, God is taking a people of all communities
through the blood of the - like a marriage. The men are circumcised, not the
ladies. Like that, through marriage all the people are accepted into God's
kingdom. That is: For two thousand years He was taking a people for His name,
as a Bride. Now the door is closed. Now God is going to meet His own brother's
children. They don't need the blood, the blood is running in them.
37 When my father died, without
knowledge I was unable to control my spirit; it was crying. Why? When you are
parting, the blood cries. If you are the children of God, the moment you see
me, your blood will rejoice: “Oh, my brother has come!” That is the secret of
this ministry. The brother which we have been waiting for a long time, is come
to rescue us! So it's a family of God. This is not a religion. I am not forming
a religion. It is a family union.
38 Many people say, “How can you say
that we were before the foundation of the world?” When Narayana created us, we
were in Him before the foundation of the world. When He came down, we had to
come down. So we have to perform in this world, that God's selection is
correct. That is why some people have no desire for this earth.
39 Among Muslims also the same
thing. Some people are only for the world, but some people are not for the
world. I know very good Muslims. One day I met a Muslim in Madras. I wanted two
thousand rupees. “Hello, I want this money immediately, to go by the plane.” He
just gave that. When I returned, I gave with interest to him. He said: “I am a
Koran man. I will not touch any interest.” Today he is a very good friend of
ours.
40 So today we must move with all
the people. In Tirunelveli, in our Ashram we had one day a singing - one Nagore
Hanifa, a Muslim singer - concert. About three thousand five hundred Muslims
came. And it was a nice singing. At the end he said - he embraced me and said:
“Bro. Lawrie and I are brothers.” Then the crowd shouted: “No, no, no!” Then he
said: “I am coming through Hagar line, he comes through Isaac's line.” Then
they said: “Yes, yes, we agree.” And today, they are very good friends.
41 Then the Tamil great preacher
Kirubanandha Vaariar came. Many Hindus came. He gave a lecture. It was a
blessing to everybody. So we are full of love to all. If anybody hates us, we
are not going to hate you.
42 My dear friends, we have come
here to tell the truth. Because I am not - These words are not my words, Shri
Narayana's words in me. Narayana spoke all these books. He knows the real
meaning. Even people who wrote these books, they do not know the meaning. Even
the Avatars who spoke these words, they do not know the meaning. Because they
wrote simply what God spoke. How can these religious leaders who are after
money and fame know the meaning of these books? You have to have the Spirit of
God, to know the meaning.
43 God doesn't raise hundreds of
people at the same time. For an age and for a time, only one person is the
world leader in a religion. All the others will be false. And following that
leader, it is life for you. It is your duty to find out that correct leader. That
is not my responsibility! Because in this age, we can make this world and
overcome death by our faith.
44 What did the Christians do? They
said: “Jesus came down, and He died and He rose again. But He died as a
sacrifice”, they say. And they have also lost the meaning. They have put the
cross.
45 Now somebody comes in the night
and stabs a man, the family would put the photograph of the man, but not
photograph of that knife. Knife will be in the hand of the murderer. But what
do the people do today? Everybody is showing the cross. But they don't love the
person who came. Because He is the sacrifice. He is dying for the One who has
to come; so that Shri Narayana can come to the earth in His own body. Otherwise
He will burn the whole world.
46 So today, I just want to tell you
the people here - for the last day they are thinking about creating confusion.
We have come here in the name of God. Thanks for all the help the police and
other people are giving. But I want to tell you - warn you: Don't think that you
can just beat us and go away. We are not going to fight with you. But we are
protected by the angels of God. Don't get caught to the angel's hands. He will
destroy your family. Then we can't help you. We love your family.
47 Because, according to the books,
these angels are very powerful people. And they protect us. In that - in His
name, we get that protection also. So let us all love God. There is another
day's meeting. Let us get that blessing also.
48 So let us all get up. We will be
praying for you individually tomorrow. Today it is a mass prayer. And in this
mass prayer, God is going to pour His blessings on you. Every eye closed. Think
for five minutes: ‘Lord!’ You may think on Narayana, you may think on Christ
Jesus, you may think on Allah. All represent the same Person. ...He is able to
bless you today. Put your right hand on the sick part of your body. If you have
no peace, put both your hands and ask God to give you peace. If you have any
loved ones far away, think about them now. Distance doesn't matter. They may be
in America or Dubai or any other place. If you have no job, ask God for a job.
If you want a transfer, ask for that also. Anything you ask Him!
49 In this - God says: “If you ask
anything in My name I will give you.” If you have any problems in your life, if
your husband is drinking, think about him; if your wife or husband has left
you, think about them now. If your child is missing, think about him, he will
come running today. He wants to bless you spiritually, He wants to bless you
physically and materially.
50 Let us close our eyes. In the
name of God Almighty, in the name of God - Tell this after me. Our Creator, we
come to you tonight. We are putting all our problems before You. You have
promised us that You will give us all what we ask. Give us peace. Heal our
bodies. Drive out all our problems.
51 We promise before God that we
will not change our religion, that we will not change our name, that we will
not worship any creature, that we will be true to our Creator, that when we get
peace, that we will serve You fully. We surrender our whole life to Shri
Narayana who has come down.
52 Now silently close your eyes. In
the name of Jesus, in the name of Narayana, in the name of Allah, I command all
the blessings of God to come on the people! In the name of God, heal the
people! Let them get peace! Let them be filled by the power of God! Let their
sins be forgiven! Lord, give them peace! Every demon power in the heart get
away! All their karmas get away! Lord, give them peace! Let the healing power
of God heal them! Every incurable disease get out of their bodies!! Let them
have miracles tonight! In that wonderful name of God, in the new name Lahari,
we ask You. Thank You Lord.
