Hari om.Just to tell you, when we started this prayer the Ganesha murti was placed differently from every other prayer; and the significance of that is that 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 are going to be the most miserable times in our lives. So we've placed Ganesha next to Suryan so that he can remove all obstacles. Why is 2011 going to be a bad year? Saturn will go through almost six houses during 2011, and that means that six times in 2011 many of us will have disappointments that are very large.
After we started the prayer some people left already. That means their prayer will not be answered, whether or not they paid their money. We have never before concluded a prayer of this nature with a hawan. It is very, very important that we conclude with a Ganesha hawan, and recite all the names of all the deities or all the Gayathris. It is very important. After that all of you will have a red string for protection that you will tie on your hand. If they leave and are not here, its their loss. I've made it clear to you that once you start the prayer you must wait until it's finished. Some people are always in a hurry. Rather don't come if you can't stay for the whole prayer.
We will conclude with a ghee offering, symbolising prosperity good health and good wealth. And every day I do a similar prayer, that each one of you must be prosperous, healthy and wealthy. And I know some of you sitting here think, 'How can he think of each one of us?'. I have a fantastic memory. I may not remember your name but I remember how you look and your energy. I pray for you all daily and today is significant of that same prosperity, good health and good wealth. I'm saying this because many of us are becoming agitated. Those who have been with me for a long time will know that my prayer is only finished when its finished. I cannot give you a time, we follow instructions from great personalities, Aghasthiar Maha Muni, Khanniah Yogi, Shivabalayogi, Sri Yukteswar, Swami Murugesu Maharishi, Babaji. All give us instructions on what to do.
You are most loved in the astral realm. Even Shiva and Parvati were here today. Jo has taken a photograph where you can see Lord Shiva talking to Parvati in the fire. You can see the flashes of blue, purple and green in the fire, in Shivas dance. What does that mean? It means that every movement Shiva makes has a cause and effect on us. And right now his dance is only on ego, which you will find at his feet. And therefore you will find that there is so much disaster. Almost half the world is now under water. And the reason for that is all of us here. We have caused this situation, and we have to live with it. Come June we will see many more disasters, with some unbelievable ones between now and June. And it's for you to make the change. And I will help you along the way by doing this kind of pooja. Those men who have little respect for their wives, I need to tell you that the Shakti in your home is your wife. She is your success. Show her love and respect. To all the ladies in 2011, stop nagging your husbands because you are losing it there. Eventually he says things he really doesn't mean and that has its effect.
And while I was meditating I asked the question, 'Oh, Lord Shiva, tell me who invented or discovered this thing called communication'. And Shiva said to me, 'My son, Shankarananda, it was women'. I asked, 'Why, Lord?' And he told me, 'How else can they complain?' So let's not nag the husbands; and the husbands must respect their wives. Before marriage, the 14 February was important, now after marriage, the delivery truck has got lost. So, please, as much as I'm making this sound like a joke, 2011 is a deciding factor in the future of every one of you. It's a serious deciding factor and only you can make the change. Some of us have to bear with our husbands, but the more you bare with them, the more divinity comes upon you. Some of you seated here, I know how wonderful you are, and your husbands aren't as wonderful as you want them to be, yet you are still wonderful to them.
We started with Ganesha and Surya today so we have union between the spouses - of love, commitment and togetherness. We'll continue this up to 2014. 2011, 2012, 2013, are the worst years. Also maybe in six or seven months time you'll find that next to Lord Shiva there'll be a lingavayanam, the female aspect of lord Shiva. I learned this in India and it makes a lot of sense so we're going to place it here. I'm trying my best to give all of you peace, and for us, collectively, to get peace around South Africa so that you are safe wherever you are going, your children are safe when they go to school and work, and your spouses are safe when they leave for work.
I'm going to give you a mantra to say nine times everyday before you leave home. It will resonate in you the whole day and you will be protected. The mantra is 'shiva shambo'. (Guru sings the mantra.) When you go to work you'll find yourself singing it mentally. When you close your eyes and say it with great intensity, with profound intense love and devotion you'll find that something will move up your spine. These are the things we're going to teach tomorrow but as you're here I'll teach them today. (Guru sings again)
If you sing it like that you will become one with Shiva. The most important aspect of this life is to merge with Shiva. I know you can do it. So many of you have been here from two o'clock this morning. That tells me that you have the determination to make it happen. I can only pray for you and remember you. If you don't turn the dial to Lotus FM you're not going to get Lotus FM. If you have the dial on East Coast Radio and expect another station, no chance. What I'm saying is: get tuned in properly. So please, just to tell you that 2011 adds up to a number four. Four is Buddhan (Mercury). It's not seated very well this year, astrologically. Nakshaktras are all missing their positions. Your rasis (stars) will all have to change. If you're a cancerian, you won't be a cancerian in a few years time. All the rasis and nakshaktras are moving.
We just have to pray pray pray. Only prayer can do it, nothing else. Hari Om.
