Hari om.I just hope that all of you participated in the hawan earlier, with agnihotra. This will be the last hawan on the first Friday of the month.
As you can see, we have a guest. This guest is very special. His name is Dr John MacLander and he is all the way from South America. I found it very strange that his guru is Babaji and he is now at the ashram that Yogiar Ramaiah came to and chose as the home for the Babaji murthi. We have a very unique energy here and you will find it attracts people of like mind. Our energy levels are so high that even this hall cannot contain them!
This doctor came here and boosted the energy three times using agnihotra. He did it at six-twenty-two this evening. You may be wondering why we did not invite you. Well, you can’t make it for seven pm, so six-twenty-two will be virtually impossible for you! We only heard of this on Wednesday and could not get hold of Deepak to send out an sms because he was in a meeting. I think the blessings are for all you, not only for those who did the prayer.
Doctor, here, is not a doctor of philosophy. He is a medical doctor. He uses agnihotra as a form of alternative healing. It's sad that when you hear of this in your own country, you have doubts. But when you hear it from somebody overseas, the doubt goes away. Paramahansa Yogananda says that a saint will not be recognised in his own country.
The doctor has a group of people who do the agnihotra and they use it in some of the hospitals every day for the patients - and they heal. There’s your opportunity. Doctor will be here for you to discuss, and he will tell you what to do.
For many years we knew about agnihotra and its importance, but we could not find people to do it… is was like a fallen seed that had rotted. We failed. But now Doctor John is here to show you.
It is very, very important in this time of kali yuga, to pray. With that prayer, we must have desire, interest, dedication and devotion. If you don’t, then don’t do it just to please others. You must have dedication, devotion and love. It will work for you. The Hindu concept is that even if you offer a stone with dedication, you will get the benefit.
Normally when visitors come to the Gayathri Peedam we give them a gift. Krishnee Govender will come and present our gift so that when Doctor John is back in South America he can think about us and pray. For the love of our master and from the astral plane we offer you this gift in thanks. The picture is of Babaji and Yogiar. This picture is very rare; you won’t get it again. It is from Paringapatti, where Babaji was born and lived as a young boy.
If you have any questions, please speak to Dr Johnabout agnihotra, how to do it - and take it from there.
Hari Om.
