The message to all of you is that the most important thing in the world is humanitarianism, or humanism. For this, we should sacrifice all our effort and comfort. Do not think of yourself or your comfort, but think of others. This is the great humanitarian principle.
In the past, mankind and humanitarianism had always been in trouble. Today the same situation has arisen. It is therefore that God has come Himself, to give you this message of humanitarianism and to protect you through a mantra - the universal mantra of " Om Namaha Shivaya", which has been spread now throughout the world.
As you know, throughout the world there are factories of armaments that are being produced and stored to destroy mankind, or cause damage to mankind. Similarly, Bhagwan Herakhan's Vishwa Mahadham is a great factory, which has produced only one element-that is Om Namaha Shivaya. The energy of Om Namaha Shivaya shall destroy all contradictory energies of hydrogen and atom bombs and will protect you.
There are proofs in the scriptures that it was great Rishi who created the atom energy and he has said clearly that the only thing, which can conquer the atom energy, or the hydrogen energy is the Om Namaha Shivaya, mantra by itself.
BHOLE BABA KI JAI!

I congratulate and bless all who have
assembled here from so many countries at this auspicious time. Today is a
most happy and sacred day. Here, at Herakhan Vishwa Mahadham, people
belonging to many religions and faiths have assembled to celebrate, with
great religiosity, the birthday of Lord Christ. Devotees and lovers of
Christ have given their labour, body, mind, and soul to enhance this
celebration.
This is an auspicious occasion of historical
importance. Today all are blessed. Your body, mind and soul all have
been purified. You have come with faith, love and devotion, as you have
in past years, to celebrate the birthday of Lord Christ with great
enthusiasm.
There is but one instruction to give. There should
be humanity in you. People of all countries should unite with each
other as brothers. All of you must be happy and healthy and appreciate
the joy of life. The highest thing in the world is karma - hard work.
Idleness makes man lifeless.
Spread this message in your
country-spread the light of righteousness to the hearts of others. Let
the seed of human love and humanity, which is in you, flower and be
fruitful. Organized powers are always stronger than individual ones. Let
the message of this organization be spread in the whole world. The
Vedas proclaim-"grow wise and learn; awake your countrymen."
Remove
hatred and jealousy from the heart. The same thing has been repeatedly
written in the Bible and spoken through Christ. Where there is jealousy
and hatred, there is no religion. If there had been humanity in people,
there would have been no necessity of making atom bombs. Years before,
people would have left fighting weapons.
All of you have
sacrificed your body, mind and soul in increasing the beauty of
Herakhan. In the making, in working here, all of you have invested your
energy and have worked so hard and this Vishwa Mahadham is your soul.
The structure of this place is now in all of you. You are responsible
for the structure.
May all of you be happy. Live together and
live peacefully. The divine message from the great rishis of olden times
has not been successful up to this time. In the Treta Yuga, there was
the incarnation of Shri Ram and in Dwapara Yuga, there was the
incarnation of Shri Krishna. Even after the great war of Mahabharata,
the unrighteous were prevailing and innocent people were molested. So
the blessings of great rishis-that all people be happy-was not
fulfilled, even in those times. But in taking the OM NAMAHA SHIVAYA
mantra as a base, we have great hope that people from so many countries
who have come here will go back and that the holy vibration will go with
them, and everywhere them will be peace.

I am happy to see you here
and bless you and congratulate you for coming and organizing and making
this celebration so successful. The seeds of righteousness have been
sown in your hearts for you to kindle the hearts of others. I seek the
general good of all people in the world. You must do all work to perfect
humanity. By saving humanity, everyone will be saved.
Individual
leaders have spread poison throughout the world. I want this poison
removed. Learn to love your religion and consider yourself a solider of
your country. Feel this in your heart. You must work to elevate humanity
and eradicate pride, jealousy and hatred. Today humanity is in great
danger and there exists no security of person or wealth. This problem is
not of one nation but of the whole universe. Unite in an organization
to achieve power by gaining the goodwill of the majority of the people
at present.
Unite in love to elevate yourselves. Each
one of you must vow today to sacrifice everything to obtain oneness with
yourself. Be rid of attachment in your heart and be ready for the sake
of righteousness to jump into the flames and water of life. Be prepared
to bum your very bones, if necessary to secure the public good and
righteousness.
Time and again you are told that
idleness is like death and will destroy you. An idle man is a burden to
this earth, so each of you must work hard. Spend your time in working.
Work is life. Work is worship. A man who spends his time in idleness is
like a dead man. The time is coming when you will have to be working to
be saved.
In this world, change is going on every minute.
What we feel or do in this moment will be changed in the next. The time
will come when there will be big cities where there was sea and sea
where there were cities. You are intelligent and know these things, so
there is no need to tell you more about it.
Karma yoga is the
highest religious practice of this time and will liberate you. The
scriptures declare that at the end of each Yuga only Karma Yoga will
help you.
Lord Ram incarnated and there was a war between
Ram and Ravana that took 14 days. In Krishna's incarnation, there was
war for 18 days. In this Yuga, the destruction will come within the
flicker of an eye. This destruction will be such that those sleeping
will be left sleeping; those standing will be left standing. The whole
world will be transformed like this. In this destruction everything will
finish; nothing will remain the same. You should therefore leave your
attachment to the world. Only repetition of God's name will be useful
for you; otherwise, it is hopeless. God's names are more powerful than a
thousand atomic and hydrogen bombs. Help yourself by repeating the
Lord's name.
All of you know that God's name is the highest
thing. Why do you attach your minds to the transitory things in this
world? Why do you not spend your time in meditation and in repeating the
Lord's name? Attach yourself to God. Be brave and always walk on. There
will be many mountains to cross, but do not stop until the goal is
reached. Be strong and never feel disheartened.

During Evening Darshan
I
request all of you not to miss the golden opportunity of this beautiful
and significant day. This day comes only once in a year.
Many
people will come, many people will go, many will be born and many die
on this day. The world is a place where people are always coming and
going. It is definite that sooner or later everything will perish and
crumble. Everyone knows that some day everyone has to leave this world.
So you must make the best use of this holy day, which comes only once a
year. It is possible that whatever you have been unable to achieve in
your whole life, you might achieve in this one Day. For that reason you
can do bhajan, kirtan, fasting, silence, penance, and meditation of any
kind.
From to night at twelve to noon at Christmas Day, no
evil spirits will come. For twelve hours these evil spirits and ghosts
will leave the planet Earth. During these twelve hours Christ will come
and go to many places where Christmas is being celebrated. Somewhere He
will stay for one minute somewhere one second, somewhere one hour. He
will be moving quickly through those twelve hours.
In those
twelve hours, all your wishes will be fulfilled. There are few days,
which have been fixed for such things, when all the bad spirits are made
to leave. On these days people can achieve liberation and attain what
they wish.
I am very happy to see your faith and devotion at
this time and I give you My best wishes and blessings for the future.
Today is a very beautiful Day. You are the most fortunate ones in this
whole world.
There was a time when everyone used to. go to Rome to celebrate this festival; today you have made Rome here.
