 United States of America, oh, what a country! Very powerful. You can see the spirit. Very strong. If this is the last chuckle that you hear from me, just know I went loving. Namaskaram. Namaskaram to all of you, wherever you are. We are here right now at Bear Butte. The hill or the little mountain that you see behind me is Bear Butte. It is a formation that has happened because of coming up of magma or molten rock and soil, but not really erupting like a volcano. The Cheyenne tribes are supposed to have received all their wisdom at Bear Butte. Crazy Horse, one of the most well-known and quite a remarkable leader of the Lakotas. His father received his vision here at the Bear Butte. Temperatures slowly going towards the zero. From here on, riding motorcycles is going to be tough, and speed is going to be worse because as you go faster it gets spotted hard. Yeah, that's a bad word. Thank you for all of you coming here to my home. The Black Hills, the Creator gave to us. Very sacred, very sacred, the most sacred. And I was born here in the Black Hills. Welcome. Bless him and watch over him. And maybe someday I will see him again. And thank you for today. It was really beautiful. Because Kim and I was walking on in clouds the week. We flew into each other. Very powerful. I could see his spirit. Very strong. And I hope you praise for us too. It was awesome, beautiful. That's why I said I hope to see him again someday. Look at the clouds. Oh my God. They moved over here. Four. What Justin? Don't put me through the gravel, huh? You see the way. Some rider. See all these fancy fairings they put. It's taking all the wind, you know. I could see you at like 75 degrees. I'm telling you it's going away. It's the first time I'm seeing a bike which is leaning but still going straight. The bucket a little close enough. Everything all serviced. Yep. That was Jay, huh? He made it. That was Jay. Now we are here at Matu Tipila. This fantastic formation of rock. A lacklithic intrusion, meaning it formed underground from the molten rock and became solid. Over a few million years, the surrounding sedimentary rock eroded away to display the tall core within. It is made up mostly of hexagonal columns. Visually it's a sight to see. It was a real eye-opener for me in many ways the key to understand native American spirituality, the source of it, what empowered them to know things for which there seems to be no other basis. But here stands Matu Tipila as a powerful presence of Vishuddhi. Which unfortunately today people are calling it as Devil's Rock. In the shadow of the Devil's Tower I meet a little devil right here. Ah, American Gringo. Thanks so much for coming. Wonderful. The sun is unreal. You guys want to walk up there now? There's like about 10 minutes up to 10 minutes back and then we're going to be looking at the other side of the sun be right on the rock. You can drive there? Yeah, I mean but be careful with your motorcycle because it's gravel road for like a half a mile. Well, this is where to come at night too. No scholarship about these native American tribes what they did but feeling this Matu Tipila I'm quite sure many of them sat in one place gazed at the land, uttered the needed sounds and felt the lengths that they've not been to. It is significant that being around Matu Tipila these tribes, the plains tribes acquired a certain possibility and there is so much talk about handling the spirits how to deal with the spirits what to do beyond death it almost sounds very parallel to the yogi culture in this dimension because the power to handle the dead is only with those who have an active Vishuddhi. Well, the greatest example of the greatest manifestation of Vishuddhi I cannot think of anybody other than Shiva himself Adiyogi. To a brand new episode of United Dreams of America I am your host Aditi and today we have a very, very, very special guest with us. So we have to go to Big Horn, alright? We have to go there in daytime. That means... It's four hours from here. Four hours. And he is currently in the United States for his 10,000 mile bike tour named of motorcycles and mystics. Well, we'll leave at one o'clock. As soon as we finish the shoot. He is none other than Satguru Jaggi Vasudev Ji. Satguru Ji, welcome to Radio Michi USA. How are you? Namaskaram Aditi. Tell us a little bit about this journey. One important thing is you cannot talk about United States of America without talking about the Indian nations of the past. And most people do not know there were over 300 nations. They had their own education system. They had their own spiritual process. Higher education in some of the tribes and men and women were equally participating in every aspect of life and a whole lot of tribes were matriarchal. That means the lineage was through women. These are all things we are talking about like they're modern ideas today. Women's liberation, this, that. I'm saying people have lived this way for thousands of years. I think it's best to revive those cultures at least make people conscious of that. It is with that intent because it is a oral culture, nothing is written down. There is no real archaeological sites as you would see in other parts of the world because they lived a simple off-the-land kind of life. Always they said whatever the truth about them is blowing in the wind. So I thought it's best I ride a motorcycle and feel the wind, not miss the wind. Ha ha ha! Madison wheel, big horn. What's your horn like, huh? Palm? Both are like that. Different frequency, equally loud. United States of America. Oh, what a country. When I say United States, those of you who plan to visit the country don't just waste your time in New York or Florida or Los Angeles or worse in Las Vegas. You need to come to Wyoming, Idaho, South Dakota, Montana. Whoa! What a terrain. Unbelievable. And riding the wind gusting at probably 35 miles, which is making the motorcycle a bit unsteady, wanting to move into another lane. Wind gusts at 40 miles per hour. They're warning us. If this is the last chuckle that you hear from me, just know I went loving. After hitting the night in the last 100 miles, I must have seen at least 50 deers matched up. At least 50, I would say. Woo hoo hoo hoo! Our macro is best for the motorcycle. Newton is a motorcycle's dream. It's been fantastic riding up. Let's go. The medicine wheel. A large wheel of our 300 feet diameter, I think. With 28 spokes, probably functioning both as a calendar and as a sacred guide to various suspicious events for the Native American people. Here we are at the Little Big Horn battlefield. Little Big Horn battle is a historic battle in the making of the United States. And also, in teeming the plains Indians, this was one significant battle. But this battle turned in favor of the Native Americans. It was a tactical mistake that General Custer made and he went into the attack. There were 1,800 warriors and Custer had 225 cavalrymen. Well, it let you a complete wipeout that all the 225 soldiers died, including Custer. This was a serious defeat and it was kind of like a pushback against the United States. But here lies the soldiers. Not all of them from that battle, there are also others, but 225 are from that battle. Soldiers who lay down their lives for what they believe is the right thing and what they believe is valuable to them. And thousands of Native American warriors who have no markers like this lie on these plains, their bones have washed these fields and they died believing what they were doing there is the right thing. They fought, lived and died, what was precious to them. I shall not see you, son, go down behind the mountains tonight. I'm going home today, not the way we came, but in spirit, home to my people, bloody knife. I require that in dispassion towards their own lives. Unfortunately, this has been the history of humanity that human beings of different identifications of tribes, nations, communities, religions and races have fought endlessly. These are not old men who should die anyway. They're three years of age. These are young men who should have lived but died. Like this, there are thousands of Native American graves who have died on this land. These graves are not in celebration, but in reminder, this is not the way to conduct the world. A medicine-killed Cooley crossing. The crossing was a little bit warm river. This is where Custer came across and said Custer got killed right here across the river. It's a Native American story, a Lakota story. Curtis. Curtis. Curtis Littleburg. Realburg. Realburg. He shared him. He shared him? Yeah. We have a long way to come, Native Americans, to heal ourselves from now. This is the time, this generation, to raise them well. It's important to maintain your identity but at the same time to be a part of the mainstream because otherwise you get left out. You know, it's important that you have both economic power, education, foothold in the society but not losing your identity. That is where, you know, the strength of building a future is. It's important that your youth get educated but don't forget, education is a regular education but there must be your own traditional education along with that. That's important. Thank you. Carry that message for future generations. Thank you very much. Thank you for having us here. Want to put these over your shoulders? Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. You're hard to tell. There. There. Thank you. In this we are one. We're one. Can I ask you to look at your palms once? You want a look? Yeah. You will be surprised. Thank you. I started my life. I grew up in a spiritual way with my family. Very spiritual people. I started learning since I was a young boy. I started growing into this way. I had an advantage over other people. They didn't have the spirituality like my family did. By the time I reached 35 years old I was up on the mountain, pierced to a tree for four days. No food, no water. Nobody around me. I started receiving gifts spiritually that a lot of things changed for me at that point in my life. Then on I started growing. Each year, every year as I'm moving forward the abilities that I've gained through our ceremonies getting stronger, stronger, stronger. And it's because of my commitment and my belief. My calling is to help my people. That's what it's about. That's all there is. All of us should do whatever we can do. What we cannot do, we cannot do. We can't fix the past, we can fix the future. And I've been doing that for the last 21 years now. Keep serving the people. It's very important. Your people need it. It's great to be here. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. I appreciate your visit.
