31 August 1983 - At the Dhuni
"Today you are all present here by this natural cave of overhanging rock of Mount Kailash (i.e., on the terrace outside the dhuni building). You are all blessed to be present in this great pilgrim center, at the Court of the actual Kailash Mahadham. Here, only those can live and are living who are very fortunate in this world. How can unlucky people live here? Those who have impurity in them, not even their shadow can come near this place, because this is a sacred, divine center. Here only heavenly beings can reside. For the sake of Lord Rama, continue to sing bhajans, to meditate, to pray.
"All of you can see for yourselves how nature has formed this cave of overhanging rock in such a beautiful way. It is covered with the abundant green of leaves and creepers. This is a great universal pilgrim center. Now it is the auspicious morning time. It is 9:30 a.m. How beautifully the bagpipes are sounding! How colorful the garden is round about, where Lord Shiva's attendants are standing - like Majoor-das, in name and form a genuine Ghana. Har Govind is here, like Kartikeya (Shiva's eldest son) and Shastriji is standing here like Lord Brahma, the Creator. You are all Rishis of ancient times, residents of this divine sacred center. You all don't know yourselves. You don't know your own greatness - like Hanuman who did not know His own greatness; He had to be reminded of it.
"Wealth, kith and kin, and good fortune, sinners, even prostitutes can have; but the company of great saints and the knowledge of the Lord's name are difficult things to obtain. Only great men have these. This is what Tulsidas has said.
"Congratulations to you all on this holy, auspicious day! Can you see how nature has spread a beautiful veil of clouds over the sun? It is neither too hot, nor does it rain. Even nature works in favor of today's auspicious event. For many years now, you have been witnessing how nature is obedient to Mahaprabhuji. Even if the Sun is told to stop, it will obey. Today, you can see this fact for yourselves. Sitting here at Hairakhan, Mahaprabhuji has control over every particle of the Creation by the power of His mere wish, by His every thought. You may travel throughout the whole world, but the peace of mind which you acquire here you cannot find anywhere else.
"Mahaprabhuji has control over the elements, the spiritual world - to say nothing of the world of men. He is the Creator, Sustainer and Destroyer of the world. Not a single blade of grass can grow but that He wills it. He has incarnated in a human body for the welfare of mankind. His sole desire is to make it possible for the whole world to be liberated. He shall do His utmost to achieve liberation of the world.
"You have come here from all parts of the world. Can you create such natural beauty as you see around you in these hills? Always, all heavenly beings - the Gods and Goddesses - are present here. They come and go. They bathe in the Gautama Ganga. Many divinities reside here permanently, not wishing to leave this place.
"Be happy, all of you! May long life and prosperity by yours always!
"JAI MAHAMAYA KI JAI!"
(Then Babaji invited the bagpiper to play and some of the devotees to dance.)
"In the Court of Mahaprabhuji, the orchestra of musicians is playing and the heavenly maidens are dancing. When there is music, song and dance, this is an ideal combination of three divine elements.
"JAI MAHAMAYA KI JAI!"
