 Namaskaram! A very warm welcome to all of you to Sadguru Sannidhi, the abode of yoga, on the auspicious occasion of Makarashankranti. I'm delighted to have you with us here in person, and all of you who have joined us online from various parts of the world. Sadguru Sannidhi is a sacred space for self-transformation, established by Sadguru. Located near Bengaluru, this powerfully consecrated space will offer scientifically designed tools for inner well-being and self-transformation to seekers from all walks of life, regardless of caste, creed or religion. Today is a very special day for all of us. It marks the arrival of the iconic and mesmerizing face of Adiyogi to the wonderful state of Karnataka. In a few moments from now, we will witness the unveiling of the 112 feet tall iconic face of Adiyogi. Revealed as the first yogi and hence the source of yoga, Adiyogi has inspired us since millennia by offering tools of inner transformation. And so, although he is from our past, he belongs to our present and even more to our future. Envisioned by Sadguru, this haunting face captures three distinctly different aspects, namely intoxication, exuberance and stillness, all in one frame. Sounds of Isha is a group of musicians inspired by their deep yearning and a sense of gratitude. They are volunteers at Isha Foundation whose melodies are a fusion of music from different parts of the world, traversing effortlessly and seamlessly across boundaries and cultures. They have performed at many prestigious festivals and conferences around the world. Please welcome Sufisha. We are delighted to have with us today the Kamsale folk artist of Srinagamalai Mahadeshwara Swami Kamsale Sangha led by Shri Mahadev Murthy. If you hail from Karnataka, Kamsale Ruttya is not new to you. This dance form is offered in the praise of Lord Mahadeshwara and employs a great blend of aesthetic sublimity and martial agility. We also have with us today the artist of Dolukunita, another popular traditional folk dance of Karnataka, which celebrates Shiva, the cosmic dancer. Shiva is said to have made a drum from the skin of the demons he killed. Shiva's devotees from Kuruba community celebrate the killing of demons by beating the drums. So this is Yogeshwara. Yoga means union, you know. Yoga also means ultimate empowerment. If you are in union with everything, it is a tremendous empowerment. So what is it that we are trying to do in the form of consecration? It's an energetic effort encapsulating this energy, this intelligence which is the source of everything so that people can experience it because it's in one place. The easiest thing to consecrate would be the human form. But human beings, every day their priorities will change and they will make your turns. So we've chosen something else lesser than a human being. I'm telling you, it's quite insane to try to do a process like this with so many people. But I trust you. It would be more lively. What's this, huh? That's it. What is the meaning of this spectacular face? Human beings can exist in many ways, many ways of being and varied levels of impact. Many may spend their lives in fulfilling their survival needs and small pleasures of life. Nothing wrong or sinful in these mundane occupations. Just wasteful of the power of our being to transcend the ways of our bodies and our minds. In our bodies, there is a little bit of pleasure. In our minds, a little bit more. In our emotions, a lot more. In touching the nature of our being, we rise above the creaturehood of our existence and become a cosmic consciousness. It is such beings who rise above this daily concern and rose above their individual self to get to explore the true nature and the endless ecstasies of our being. Such a being shall look down upon pathetic and desperate efforts of those who invent heavens to solace themselves and to deceive others, to be exuberant, to be intoxicated and to be still at once gives you access to the innards of life and the life-making process and the very source of life. It is with this excess that one becomes a yogi. Once you have tasted and soaked in this grace, how can we not be a bit crazy about the one who found this excess to start with, the first yogi, the Adiyogi? If all of you have a bit of longing, if all of you have a bit of longing to know and experience the spectacular nature of the life that we are, in spite of all our daily concerns, you still can start with a simple process like Isha Kriya or there is a Sadguru app which gives simple ways. But for those who are not entangled with the world around or engulfed in self-created problems of day-to-day survival, competition and in turn feeling like being stuck in a spider's web and of course, you are not the spider. Creating powerful spaces for transformation and transcendence is to cater to those who long to rise, not for those who look up to something. Those who intend to rise, rise above the mundane and touch the magical aspects of life and its source. All of this enshrined within us. We don't have to go in search of some heavenly place. It is all enshrined within us. The question is only will we find access or not to make possible as to how one can transcend the reptilian brain that enslaves us to boundaries. Boundaries and boundaries, people are going on creating. When we were born, there were no boundaries. But what we call as growing up is essentially a way of enslaveing ourselves to the boundaries, psychological, emotional, social and other kinds of boundaries that we build around ourselves. Sometimes you can sugarcoat your boundary and if the prison walls, suppose you're put in a prison and the prison walls are coated with honey, if you're licking it every day, you think prison is a great place. But the possibility of what it means to be a human being is not realized. The significant aspect of being human is that every other creature on this planet, whatever they are, because many people like to call themselves lions, many people, many others today want to call themselves as tigers. I just reminding you, it is a serious step back in evolution. Whether you're a tiger or a lion or a house cat, whatever you are, it is very significant. Being a human being means you are the peak of evolution. Being a human being means you are the flowering on this planet, the highest possible life on this planet. That is not a small privilege. But right now, most human beings are not feeling on top of the world. Not because there is some problem with life. Of course you can invent many problems essentially because you have not found access to the source of who you are. Because human experience, both joy and misery, pain and pleasure, agony and ecstasy is all generated from within. Why would you create pain and suffering for yourself if you had found access? Because the moment you misunderstand your psychological process as life process, then suffering is inevitable because the nature of your mind is just a consequence of what kind of impressions, what kind of material, what kind of data, the Bangalore city, I have to use the word right words, data. What's your GBA? Hello? What's your memory GBA? I'm asking. Okay. So what kind of data you have gathered decides and how you choose to use it, decides the nature of your experience. So the reason why these powerful spaces consecrated in a way that they become a doorway to go beyond these daily concerns of life, to go beyond the ways of the body and the ways of our psychological process because what we call as body and what we call as our mind, these are instruments that we slowly gathered over a period of time. And these instruments should work as stepping stones in our life. But unfortunately for most human beings it has become a quick sand that people sink into or never come out of, fulfilling the needs of the body, making arrangements for the needs of the body and your thought and emotion, whole lifetime is spent making arrangements, arranging, rearranging, re-re-re-arranging, many kinds of arrangements, endless number of arrangements. But a whole lifetime, if you make any arrangement for anything, arrangement should be done at the earliest possible time and the rest of it should be to experience life as profoundly as possible. So the entire gamut of life's possibilities in terms of profoundness, in terms of sweetness, in terms of knowing the nature of our existence, knowing the nature of the source of our existence is completely missed. It is to provide this possibility that a spiritually significant place is created and Adiyogi represents that. Adiyogi generally worshipped in the country as Shiva, yes? You must understand, as per various iconographic proofs, it says it's somewhere over fifteen thousand years ago that he walked this land. Over fifteen thousand years ago a man comes and goes and we don't forget him. For fifteen thousand years he must have done something significant. He must have done something so incredible that after fifteen thousand years we cannot forget him and we still are going on talking about him. Well, largely turned into worship and ritualistic ways of doing things, but you must understand the significance of Adiyogi is. Over fifteen thousand years ago when human intellect generally was not in a shape to understand the sciences of human well-being, the subjectivity itself to be handled in a scientific manner, technologies for well-being. So not knowing how to use it, most people worshipped, a few people made use of it. Though his time is of such antiquity, he passed, he belongs to the future because it is only now. It is only now in twenty-first century that more people than ever before in the history of humanity can think for themselves and think reasonably logically. You may not agree within the family, but that's okay. But everybody is beginning to think. I am saying just about hundred and fifty, two hundred years ago in most societies in the world, not so much in India, but most societies in the world, women were not even supposed to think. They should not think. So, in twenty-first century straight away, fifty percent of the population has joined and they have a thought process of their own and it's recognized and valued for the first time. Hey, what are the ladies doing? Come on, you just forgotten how bad it was in most parts of the world, how bad it was for the women. If you've forgotten, you must take a vacation in Afghanistan. That's how it was in most parts of the world. Today, you are sitting here, you can say what you want, you can read, write, do whatever you want. You can even serve in the army. I'm saying you can fly an airplane, you can do whatever. So, if you don't celebrate that ladies like this, cold, Sadhguru, cold, what to do with you? Come on. I want to hear just the female voices. So, more people are thinking for themselves than ever before. So now, the sciences that he taught of approaching our subjectivity, even our inner well-being, not as a religion, not as a philosophy, not as an ideology, but as a science with applications which are technologically correct and which work wonderfully well. And the reason, the only reason these methods have stayed alive is because of their efficacy. Never have you heard in the history of humanity, never have you heard in these fifteen thousand years, anywhere somebody putting a sword to somebody's throat and saying, do yoga, otherwise we'll cut your throat. Such a thing has never happened. But today, over 2.7 billion people are practicing some form of yoga on the planet. So, when I say yoga, don't think of how to twist myself like a leftover noodle. It's not about that. Yoga means union. What does union mean? If you don't understand, I just want to check all of you breathing. Those people breathing? I hear only a few people saying they're breathing, this is scary. So, if you're breathing, what you inhale, the tree is exhaling. What you exhale, the tree is inhaling. Am I making this up or is this so? Hello? Is it a fact? Now, as you sit here, you've been delivered from your mother's ooms, of course, but you're still in another womb. Right now, this atmospheric bubble that's holding you is just like your mother's womb. It has to maintain the right kind of pressure, right amount of oxygen, right amount of everything. If the pressure goes up, your lungs will get burst. If the pressure goes down, it'll get all sucked in. You have heard of people having problems in altitude and stuff, because essentially you can breathe only if the pressure, the content of the air, what it needs to be, everything is perfect. This is like a womb. This is a womb. It is not just for fun. We're called as Mother Earth. So, you're still in the womb. When will you be delivered? So, yoga means you begin to experience this. Not intellectually understand this. You begin to experience everything as a part of yourself. The barrier between you and what is around you is largely psychological. There is a little bit of other aspects which can be easily broken through, but mainly it is the boundaries that you have drawn. These boundaries, to obliterate these boundaries, to wear them thin at least, is the process of yoga. There is no one form. Adiyogi himself gave 112 ways through which a human being can attain to their ultimate nature. It is because of this to honor him and also to remind people and to inspire people and also open a doorway that Adiyogi is here, 112 feet tall. I'm again asking you, is he looking good? Let me ask the ladies, is he handsome? Good so, bang on opinion. So, okay, okay. So, the subtle aspects of yoga largely have not been explored particularly in the last two centuries. A lot of it has been lost. In innovations, in occupations, we've lost a lot, but I must tell you this, in the last forty years since I've been on doing this, it's forty years now, okay? Forty years. It feels like four days, but it's forty years. In these forty years, we have created a certain amount of spiritual thirst across the world, across the world without an exception of any nation. So, those of you who belong to this region, you must understand, once we have some facilities ready, people from all over the world, literally from every country will be coming here, those of you who have lands and homes close by, you must become hosts for all of them and turn this entire place into a spiritually rich region, not just the center, because this is what this culture is about. This culture is not invested in simply going on making bigger and bigger arrangements. Everybody, everywhere in the world is talking about sustainability, environment, nonsense. I'm telling you, the only and only reason the planet is getting ripped apart is in search of human well-being, human happiness. I don't know how much more you have to dig into the earth before you are happy. Hello? How much more should we turn the earth upside down before we are happy? So, if you think you will be happy after making all these arrangements, you will see somebody will be making a funeral arrangement before the arrangements are complete. Before you think you have everything that you need, from home to big home, big home to bigger home, small car to bigger car, bigger car to bigger car, by the time you make all the arrangements, somebody will be making funeral arrangements for you. That is if they care, otherwise, you know, who knows, like COVID times, you know, what happened? Terrible things happened, all right? So, I want you to understand this, the purpose and the reason why these thousands of volunteers have worked to make this place happen. In how much time, this is something you must know. The Adiyogi is up in less than five months. When this was done in Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore, it was done in eight months. Everybody said that's a... this has happened in five months. But five months into three, actually it's fifteen months because everybody worked three shifts, you know. So, this frenzy of doing things at this space is because this is the most needed thing right now in the world. WHO, the World Health Organization, is talking about a mental health pandemic. Maybe three years ago, you did not know what does the word pandemic mean. But today all of you know it for sure. Almost every one of us have lost someone who was dear to us during the pandemic, almost every one of us. So, we know what is a pandemic. Now they're talking about a mental health pandemic. What this means is now in this... all of you who are here, whatever the number, if hundred people have some problem, all of you will get it. That's what a pandemic means. So, mental health pandemic, can you imagine? Are you already going? Hello? Yes, you are. See, you can call it stress, you can call it tension, you can call it misery, you can call it anxiety, you can call it whatever you want. Essentially, if nobody is poking you with a knife or a screwdriver, if you are poking yourself with your own thoughts and emotions, you are a little bit crazy. Hello? Hello? So, for this many people, you think Nimhant has beds? Do you think we have enough psychiatrists to handle eight billion people? Because everybody is busy using their mental faculties to torture themselves in a thousand different ways every day from morning to evening, and they think... and they even think they have a wonderful life because they bought a new car and they have a big house and they have husband, wife, children. All this, it doesn't matter what you have. If you do not know the joy of your existence, you're wasting yourself. So, if we want to see that humanity lives to its full potential, one of the most important things is to bring back this culture of turning inward and knowing that human experience is manufactured within us, it doesn't come to us from anywhere. It comes from within us. What is within us must happen the way we want. What is in the world will not always happen our way, because there are so many people, so many things will happen, but what is within you must happen your way. I know you're always complaining. Your husband is not the way he should be. Hello? Hey, come on, tell me it's okay. He's not. My wife is not at all the way I want her to be. She was like that the day I married, but now she's become many other things. And my children, of course, they're always a pain in the neck. And my boss, he's not even human. What is there to talk about him? Like this, nobody, nobody in your life will ever happen hundred percent the way you want them to be. But I'm asking you, is it not important this one person happens your way? Hello? This one person must happen your way. If you don't happen the way you want yourself to be, then what's the point? Everybody else may be whichever way, but you're not happening the way you want. Once you don't happen the way you want, this means your faculties are not taking instructions from you. This means mental health pandemic is already manifesting. Well, there is not enough room in the hospital, so they left you out. Hello? They left you outside because there is not enough room. This is important. This is important for you as a generation of people and this is important for the future generations that you make yourself into a stable, exuberant and wonderful human being. And the tools to make this happen is what yoga is about. The tools, 112 tools that he offered are phenomenal tools that can be applied to just about any kind of human being. That's what this is about. That is why all this fuss. Tools. Sadguru, we thought you're going to bring the heaven down, but you're talking about tools, mechanical screwdrivers and spanners. Yes. If you do not know the significance of a tool, I must tell you this. The only reason, the only and only reason why human beings are dominating the planet is simply our ability to use tools. The other creatures, not capable of using tools, otherwise many of them are stronger than us. With their life, they are smarter than us, but we can use tools. That is the main thing. People come and, you know, when I say, Yogeshwar Linga is a tool for your well-being. Sadguru, Sadguru, don't say this. Ah, the yogi is more than my life. So, then I tell them, okay, you do one thing, come and stay. We'll give you some work. Maybe we will give you plumbing maintenance work. No tools. You can do it with your hands. All the skin will peel off. If you want, you can use your teeth. Some of them will go off. In three days, when you lost your teeth and your skin is peeled off, if I give you a venture, a spanner, will you worship it or not? Hello? Will you worship it or not? So, this is the power of the tool. The problem is this, if you do not have the right kind of tool, even simple things become so complex. The chair on which you're sitting, just feel and see there is a screw there. Try to undo it with your hands. You will only have pain and suffering. Screw driver. Just do the job. All right? So, this is the power of the tool. Yoga is a complex variety of tools. You can call them technologies, but essentially they are… these are tools. To offer these tools to variety of people at different levels, people who are willing to invest, people who think their life is only this much, that they think they can invest only ten to fifteen minutes a day for their well-being. We have one kind of tools. Somebody who wants to invest an hour, we have another kind of tool. Somebody who wants to invest more, we have another kind of tool. Depending on your longing, there are twelve fantastic tools. That is what this spectacular being represents. What? Cumbly. Oh, they're coming, coming, coming. They're not coming. So, the possibility is for every kind of human being. Oh, this yoga means what should I become a yogi? Should I go and live in the Himalayan cave? There is no such possibility because all the caves are taken, I'm telling you. I've been trekking there since I was nineteen. All the caves have been taken. There are no caves left for you to go. And you know, some parts of Himalayas are sinking, unfortunately. So, it is not about the Himalayan cave, it is about this one. Will you keep this as a dark cave or will you light this up? That is the question. Hello? That's a question. Will you keep this as a dark cave or will you light it up? So, if you want to light it up, you must at least see where the wick is, what to do about it. Little bit of oil, some fuel. These things are needed. If you don't earn these things, well, the only light you will see is the funeral pyre. I am not trying to be strong on you, but half your life is gone for most of you. If you don't wake up even now, when? Hello? And how do you know only half is gone? Has anybody here come with a guarantee card that you will live? Your astrologer told you you will live to be eighty-five, but he died the next day. Hello? It's happened, isn't it? It's happened many times. So, it doesn't matter what kind of predictions, what kind of projections, what kind of plans you have for life. Life is a brief happening. If you explore the full spectrum of what human possibilities are, then life is terribly brief. Have you noticed on a particular day, when you're very happy? Hello? Those people at the back, have you ever been very happy? Full day? Okay. If you are very happy on a particular day, then you find twenty-four hours, poof, went off like a moment. Another day, you are little in this mode. On that day, twenty-four hours feels like thousand years. You had this? So, time is a very relative experience. So, what I am telling you is, only miserable people can have a long life. If you're a joyful, vibrant, exuberant human being, which is what you should be when you're alive, then if you live for hundred years, it'll be gone in no time. So, this possibility is not just about being joyful. Joy is not the goal of life. Joy is the necessary ambience for you to become a possibility, only when you're joyful by your own nature and you have no fear of suffering. Because you're joyful by your own nature, as a consequence, you have no fear of suffering. Because you have no fear of suffering, you can walk full stride in your life. Otherwise, the fear of suffering limits you in such a way that all the time you're taking half steps. Just look at everything that you might have done in your life. Somewhere, the fear of suffering, what will happen? What will happen? You and me will live and you and me will die one day. That's all that'll happen right now when the life is on. But, Sadhguru, I lost my job. That means you have a lot of time to live. Sadhguru, my family like this, this happened, that happened. No matter what is happening, I want you to understand, first of all, what is your place in the universe? See, in this vast cosmos, where it begins, where it ends, nobody knows. Neither the religious people nor men of science have figured out where the cosmos begins and where it ends. In this vast cosmos, this solar system upon which we… where we are right now, it is a tiny speck. In this tiny speck, planet earth is a micro speck. In that micro speck, Bengaluru is a super micro speck. Chikkaballapura is a super super micro speck. In that, you are a big man. This is a serious problem. It's a very serious problem. There is no context to our existence. Both in terms of time and space, what you occupy here is such a minuscule, is such a minuscule that even if you were not here, nobody would have noticed. Nobody in this universe would have noticed whether you and me are here or not. But at the same time, we are invested with the possibility of touching the limitless possibilities of this universe, not physically but experientially. Just see your eyes. How big are they? Not more than an inch and a half. Even if you have very big eyes, you can look at the sky and capture the whole thing with this small little eye. This is the nature of your experience. If you open up your inner eye, you can capture the whole cosmos in your experience. Physically, if you try to handle life, you will end up handling very, very small aspects of life because physically, we are small. We are extremely small. We are we are just about like any other ant or worm on the planet. We are that small. But experientially, we can be a limitless possibility. This is what Adiyogi opens up for you. This is what Yogeshwar Linga is about. It's my wish and my blessing that every one of you should be if you are not ecstatic, at least you must be joyful. If you're not even joyful, at least you must know the beauty of being peaceful. Below that, I will not reduce the bar for you. Is that okay? It's our pleasure to have Chief Minister and our beloved local minister of health and many other responsibilities. So wonderful to have them here. And all of you have been waiting. We will want the Chief Minister, Honorable Chief Minister to unveil Adiyogi. But before that, there are a few people who are waiting to perform something for them. And will you stay alive or once in a way when I ask you, you come alive? Stay alive. We now have a very special performance by Radhe Jaggi and the students of Isha Samskriti. Radhe is an accomplished Bharatnatham artist who has performed at prestigious venues across India and United States. Radhe speaks passionately about the arts and has recently taken on coordination role with Isha Samskriti. Radhe is also Sadguru's daughter. Isha Samskriti is a unique offering to children envisioned by Sadguru. It provides an ideal environment for children to unfold in harmony within themselves and the world around them. At a time when modern education is geared towards inculcating information at the behest of social and technological changes, Isha Samskriti is an education system steeped in Indian classical arts that enables a child to grow to their full potential physically, mentally and spiritually. Through the 12 years of a child's formative life, children are soaked in the aesthetics and discipline of karnatic and hindustani music, Bharatnatyam and the martial art of Kalaripaitu. In Sadguru's words, these children are not for the university, but for the universe. One with a heart of fire, draped in the rivers and oceans, with hair of open sky and a body, the ground that we walk upon. Mother Earth, our source and sustenance. Time is taking away as we exploit this strong and gentle source of life. To build our lives, our comforts, our luxuries, we have ignored her plea. Time is taking away. It's time to reinvigorate and celebrate this mother who has birthed us, fed us and one who will welcome us into her bosom in our death. O mother, in celebration of your grandeur, in concern for your well-being, in love with all that you are, we dance in tune to your rhythm as we are just a part of you. Beneath my feet, your soil, rise, you become a tree. Again, you fall as a leaf. Who are you? You come up as a crop. You give me life as food. Whether I am alive or dead, you are the only refuge. Who are you? You come as water. You come as milk. You come as honey. Who are you? If I eat, it is soil. If I breathe, it is soil. If I die, it is soil. O my mother, soil. In the root, there is a stalk. In the stalk, there is branch. In the branch, leaves, bud, flower and root, all rooted in soil. That is not our making. The soil, the very soul of all life. Shall neither perish nor is created, but in a constant turnaround. A tree and a termite hill, the rough hide of an elephant and the fine silk of the spider, the beast that you kill and the people that you laugh, all a recycle of soil, soil and soil. The fire of hunger, unquenched hunger can burn the… This is a generational responsibility. Save soil. Let's make it happen. It is a great honor and privilege to welcome our chief guest, the Honorable Chief Minister of Karnataka, Shri Basav Raj Bombay, the Honorable Minister for Health, Family Welfare and Medical Education, Dr. K. Sudhakar, Shri B. C. Nagesh, the Minister for School Education, Shri C. C. Patil, the Minister of PWD. We now present a dance form, which is not for entertainment, but a form of worship to unite humanity with divinity. From the beautiful state of Kerala, we have the Kerala Fire Dancers, Dayyam, this evening to unveil the Adiyogi. Over fifteen thousand years ago, a being appeared in the upper regions of Himalayas. No one knew who he was, where he came from. The origins of this spectacular being were unknown. When his ecstasy allowed him some movement, he danced wildly. When intensity peaked, he became utterly still. People saw that he was experiencing dimensions that no one had ever known or able to fathom. His ecstasy and intensity allowed him to transcend his physical form. Witnessing an individual human in union with the cosmos, they called him a yogi, as he was the first one, the Adiyogi. When his stillness lasted for years on end, curious onlookers melted away. Only seven seekers remained, as they could not tear themselves away from him. He transmitted the profound signs of yoga in its full depth and dimension. He expounded 112 methods of attainment, offering his disciples access to the deepest innards of creation. This magnificent state of yoga, many mysteries of the created and the uncreated cascaded upon his unbridled, wild hair. It was a vision of the very core of the cosmos, in all its profundity and magnificence, a vision of the unfathomable mysteries of the universe. A most overwhelming vision the sages and Devi Parvati had ever witnessed. Devi Parvati, seeing Adiyogi, reveling in ecstatic states, said, I want to have what you have. Show me the way. Absorbed her and made her a part of himself and hence he is the Ardhanari, the ideal man where one half of him is woman. Its magnificent union, his constant companions asked, what about us? Adiyogi said, just drink of me, which drove them into intoxicated raptures. Seven sages, the Saptarishis took the sacred signs of yoga in all its forms to human habitations across the planet, which turned into crucibles of civilization. This spectacular being is not of the past, but the future of humanity. To move humanity from hallucinations of ups and downs to nameless ecstasies of one's interiority. Located near Nandi Hills in Bengaluru, Satguru Sannithi includes many energized spaces for self-transformation. Naga is a powerful deity consecrated by Satguru for health, prosperity, overcoming obstacles and exploring the mystical dimensions of life. There are several rituals and processes such as Dushnivaran, Arpan, Kaal Sarpeseva, Naga Aarti and Naga Snanam, for one to benefit from Naga's abundant grace. Devotees can also participate in the Yoga Sandhya at the Yogeshwar Linga every day, as well as the spectacular Adiyogi Div Vidarshanam. Satguru Sannithi is open every day from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Everyone, irrespective of caste, creed or religion, is welcome to benefit from the space. In the Grace of Yoga is a powerful yoga program with Satguru to cleanse your system physically and energetically and bring your body and mind to a vibrant state of health and rejuvenation. Participants will have the rare opportunity to imbibe powerful tools from Satguru for the purification of the five elements. These tools can lead to many benefits including stabilizing the body and mind and preparing one to experience powerful meditative states. Participants can also join the exclusive Panchaputa Kriya offered by Satguru. It is our endeavor to create various devices here which will allow people to make this happen for themselves in such a way that the very way you exist is a Panchaputa Kriya. May I now request our Chief Guest and the Honorable Chief Minister of Karnataka, Shri Basav Rajbomai and the Honorable Minister for Health, Family Welfare and Medical Ictication, Dr. K. Sudhakar and Satguru to please proceed towards the stage. May I now request Satguru to welcome and felicitate our Honorable Guests. May I now request the Honorable Minister Dr. K. Sudhakar to launch Adiyogi, the source of yoga, a book in Kannada by Satguru. This book is a tribute to Shiva, the Adiyogi. It is a chronicle of the progenitor of mysticism by a contemporary mystic. It captures the unspeakable enigma of Adiyogi in a spellbinding wave of words, ideas and stories that will leave one transformed. May I request Dr. Sudhakar to present the book to the Honorable Chief Minister. May I request the Honorable Ministers to kindly take their seats.

Thank you, Honorable Chief Minister, for your presence this evening and those inspiring words. May I now request Sadguru to give his closing remarks please. So, it's incredible to have all of you here today. The most important thing is that spiritual process is not for those who are reclusive. Spiritual process essentially means that before you start your life, you want to know as much as possible about yourself. Even if you buy a new phone, I'm sure you read the instruction manual, but such a phenomenal being. I want you to understand, when you say I'm a human being, you are a product of millions of years of research and development, which in your school textbook got dismissed with a single word, evolution. Evolution is a very painstaking research and development that happened by nature, and slowly you evolve to this possibility. A human being has the most sensitive neurological system and highest level of experience possible on the planet. But unfortunately, most human beings are, I wouldn't say most, many human beings have turned this into a tragic affair of painful way of living. So Adiyogi and his 112 tools are about this. How to live with exuberance and ecstasy every moment of your life. This is not a pipe dream. You don't need to, you don't need a pipe for this. This is all internal. This is a powerful way to live. It's my wish and my blessings. Everyone, every human being should have this. I must tell you my problem, can I tell you my problem? This problem started forty years ago. One afternoon I was sitting on the Chamundi Hill and I thought it was a few minutes, but I just burst into an ecstatic state and this lasted for about four-and-a-half hours. For the first time in my adult life tears were flowing down. Me and tears were not possible, but tears were flowing down and every cell in my body was dripping ecstasy. I could, my skeptical mind could not come to terms with it. I struggled with it for some time and nobody was around me to tell me what was happening to me. All I knew was I've hit a gold mine and I don't want to lose it. On that day or after a few weeks when it got stabilized and I started living like that most of the time during the day and learning to mask it so that you don't look crazy to other people. Now I can afford to be a little crazy, you know. So then I sat down and made a plan, what is it? What is it that is making me ecstatic? When I looked at it, I discovered if I keep a little distance from my physiological process and my psychological process, every cell in my body will go into nameless ecstacies. Then I thought this is it. I thought this is it. I'm going to make the entire world blissful. On that day the world's population was 5.6 billion people. So I sat down and made a plan, two-and-a-half years I will make the whole world blissful. Forty years, look at me. Today people are saying that we're touching over 2.7, 2.8 billion. Last year our video views have been 3.5, 1 billion. But no, no, no, I'm telling you my problems. Don't celebrate my problems. But population has become 8 billion, it's becoming further and further. So will you help me to increase or improve my percentage? What do you have to do for that? You must become joyful and ecstatic, that's all. What is so difficult about it? The difficulty is just this, you are in a make-believe world. What you think is real, that's a problem. It is just like if you have a dream when you're asleep and some people will, you know, allow these dreams to terrorize them. Some people experience them joyfully, some people go through all kinds of things. But a dream is a dream. A thought is a thought, an emotion is an emotion. These are all things generated by you unconsciously. If only you become conscious, your thought, your emotion, your dream and your life and your destiny will be the way you want. Through the means of yoga, if you have some mastery over your body, physical body, fifteen to twenty percent of your life and your destiny will be determined by you. If you have some mastery over your mind or psychological process, fifty to sixty percent of your life and destiny will be in your hands. If you take charge of your emotional process, if that is determined by you, then seventy to eighty percent of your life and destiny will be in your hands. If you take the very life energies into your hands, if you have some mastery over that, one hundred percent of your life and destiny will be in your hands. You must know this in this lifetime. Don't postpone it to another. Way in human beings who do not know how to live well here, who do not know the joy of their existence, they create heavens elsewhere. Heaven is the most criminal idea on the planet. Essentially, somebody is telling you, this is not the place to live. There is a better place to go somewhere. If there's a better place to go, why are you not gone? Hello? Those of you who know there is a better place, why are you still not gone, why are you still here? If there's a better place, you must be gone. So this is the place to live. And how do you know, do you have any proof that you are not already in heaven and making a mess out of it? Hello? How do you know, do you have proof that you are not already in heaven and making a mess out of it? This is heaven. But you are not at the heavenly being, that's the problem. That can happen. This is what Adiyogi represents, 112 ways, whichever way you want to choose. Oh, should I do 112 ways of yoga? No, no. One. One will do. You don't… if you have five doors in your house, do you have to go out of five doors? No, if you don't open one door, you can go out. That's how it is. So here we are. I must tell you something because I spent certain amount of my childhood in Chikapalapur. And from our home, from my grandfather's place, this bed, this blanket, this blanket, or this blanket, or you can call it as a pillow, now, now, someone is telling this, they call it as a blanket. They call it as a fan of Duriyod, Duriyod, Dushyasa, Keechaka, Shakuni, they call it as a fan. People worship them. That bed is important to us. These hills, I must tell you this, I have heard so many stories. When I walked up that hill, I didn't see anybody, but my mother used to say that she went up the hill as a young girl and there used to be a yogi who initiated so many people into spiritual process and she also held this initiation so sacred that all her life, till her last day, she kept that practice. She was initiated when she was eleven-year-old girl, till she died, till her last day, she kept the practice. So, if this is not my plan, I didn't think of coming to Chikapalapur, but somehow it has drawn me here. So I bow down to this Kaveri Beta and we will ensure that this place becomes a vibrant spiritual process for millions of people and I want you to be ready. All the local people who are here, you must be ready for this. There will be huge influx of people from all over the world, literally every nation on the planet will be here one way or the other. Thank you very much. And once again, my gratitude and thanks to our Honorable Chief Minister and our beloved Chikapalapur Minister. I know he has many portfolios, but I call him Chikapalapur Minister. Thank you very much. Here, there is somebody that you must meet. If the cameras can catch Natalie. This is Natalie Marseille from France. She started in France on 21st of June as a part of the Save Soil Movement she has been cycling since then. Over 8,000 kilometers. This little lady, come here. I'm not so dangerous. You can take off your helmet. It's okay. So look at her. Look at her, how small she is. 8,000 kilometers she's been peddling on that cycle. Ten countries she's covered and still on. Hey, come on. This is the kind of commitment. This is the kind of commitment that will fulfill this mission of Save Soil. I'm happy to inform you that over 81 nations today are in the process of forming soil policies, soil regeneration policies. And it is all because of many, many people like Natalie, but nobody as tough as her, huh? Look at her. Thank you. You want to say something? I want to be here and well, if I have been inspired with somebody, it's you. Wonderful. Thank you very much. Thank you. I'm sorry they missed it. Climatize yourself for the coming Mahasivaratri. Well, Sri Lanka is open for you. Everybody, if you wish to, you can line up properly. Please make sure there's not too much push and pull or there is no push and pull. Everybody can offer or, you know, do Jala Visakam for the Yogeshwar Linga. And it's a first June. You can even be in contact with the Linga. So it's an opportunity for you. So it'll be hard on the volunteers, but we are willing to keep it open for the whole night if you are going to make use of it. Thank you very much. Wonderful. But you're not... You... Hey, you guys have not been as lively as I expected you to be. Bangalore. When I say something, two seconds. Bah! What is this? I have to... Yogeshivaratri. The next hour of the Yogi, all of you should be there, okay? That's once more. That is a real once more. Let's make it happen. We thank you for joining us today on this very special occasion. We would like to express our gratitude to various government departments.
