Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya

Blessed Devotees, Admirers, Great Yogis and Divine Channels,

I am glad to announce to you all my intention of visiting USA this year. Tentatively I have decided to reach USA before 15^th June and be with you all. Today I am sending this recording to you to listen and to act as you feel, not as you know.

This is perhaps the first recorded message I am sending to the great yogis, divine instruments, channels and my devotees and admirers for collectively sponsoring the visit of someone who has tirelessly worked for the upliftment of consciousness and transformation of individual yogis for the last twenty-six years. Never I have sent an audio appeal for support. This time I strongly felt to send this message to you all, not because my devotees and admirers and children are not capable to take me. I do not have a thousand follower, nor do I have a million admirers. I have a few fully dedicated, transformed who can individually sponsor my visit, buy the airline ticket and take care of me. But why then I am sending this recorded appeal? It is because I am working for the universal through the individual. This is the reason, in order to expand the universal consciousness so that I can enrich the individuals’ spiritual ascension without much difficulty, I am sending this appeal for support to make the coming visit extremely purposeful, powerful and fruitful so that collectively we all, you and I joining together, we can raise the consciousness that is still clinging to earth nature. We can uplift the consciousness and we can support and strengthen and give the much-needed push to some greatly evolved seers who are almost in the threshold of transcending the transcendental. And remaining thousands of miles away it will not be possible for me to transmit the force to push dozens of these critically evolved beings beyond the transcendental. And until we reach our number, until we are having great number of enlightened seers, we cannot achieve the goal what we are aiming at.

Let me make it clear what is our goal. Our goal is to transform earth consciousness, and this transformation happens only through transmission. In my yoga always I have aimed at pushing some evolved beings to the state of unity consciousness and aspiring them to consciously work in the gross plane of prakriti, so that they can come into contact with very ordinary human beings and that mere contact with them, a casual look, a casual ‘hello, how do you… how are you doing, how are you,’ a casual conversation or even physical proximity will transmit the light that they carry, will transmit the love that they feel in their heart and will also transmit the wisdom that they have attained due their long continuous practice.

So my purpose is to ensure that a few dozen of evolved beings reach the state of unity consciousness during my lifetime.

In this visit to America, which I call The Land of The New Dawn, I want to first strengthen the seers so that they can give support to Mother Nature and awaken hundreds of individuals to see what is happening in the gross plane.

America is passing through a most critical transition and it is happening not because of X or Y, it is happening because the forces that oppose the manifestation of the new consciousness, the new light, these forces are working overnight and in many instances these forces has overpowered the positive forces. If we who are chosen and called, who are consciously collaborating with the supreme prakriti, the Mother Nature, if we do not act now, America will be the first country that will collapse. And if America is collapsed, the world will collapse.

I had seen in my vision that the future of democracy in the world is at stake. Democracy will not be able to survive the onslaught of the asuric egoistic assault of the undivine forces. And I want to remind you all what is democracy. Democracy is a form of government where the individual is the root. It is the aspiration and the will of the individual that gets manifested through a form of government called democracy. This individual will, when acting in a mass scale, is called the universal will. And the aspiration of the individual is always for one thing, that is, to reach the optimum level of satisfaction, fulfillment, joy, peace, delight. And this is exactly what is present in the heavenly sphere.

The plane of existence that we call heaven, or swarga, or the god plane, is a zone where the individual will and the collective will—there is no difference. Gods of heaven are having everything, but also each individual god in the heavenly sphere is having his own power, his own zone of operation and they are never in conflict. There is no sickness, death, disaster, poverty, scarcity, jealousy, hatred, conflict, chaos, confusion, nothing is there in the plane that we call the god plane, where the rivers are perennial, where the fountains, trees, everything is in its majestic beauty and harmony and abundance. I am not talking of a dream vision. I am talking of a real vision and the scriptures talk of this vision. And all the scriptures of all the religion—simply we cannot dismiss this as cock and bull stories. No. Every scripture, every religion talks of this plane, where they say it as paradise or they say it as heaven or they say it as god plane or swarga loka, whatever name it may be, but this is the picture, this is the reality.

Earth should be a replica of heaven and it is absolutely possible because this Earth, there was a time when this Earth was also a replica of heaven. That is why gods were communicating with the human beings, gods were coming down to Earth to communicate with the human beings and they were asking help from human beings. In my visit this time I can tell you hundreds of stories, quoting the scriptures word-by-word, page-by-page, when gods have come down to Earth and requested for help from the human beings. And the human beings, the leader among the earthly humans, whom the scriptures call as raja or the king, was going and fighting against the forces that were troubling the gods and have defeated them. It was possible. It has happened.

That what has already happened, not one time, but many time, why that can’t happen again? This Kali Yuga, its lifespan is 432,000 years. And we have only lived 5,118 is now continuing. We should not at all believe what these so-called jnanis or astrologers are telling. Don’t give too much importance to the predictions of disaster and extinction of the earthly civilization. It will never happen now. The time has not come.

And I am telling, every disaster that is yet to happen can be mitigated, can be handled. I had taught in Patanjali Yoga Sutra heyaṁ duḥkham anāgatam, the anagata dukha, that is the disaster, the sorrow, the challenge that is yet to come, is waiting to come, that can be fully eliminated. Whether at the individual level or at the collective level, it can absolutely be eliminated, it can absolutely be handled, tackled. But who can do that? Earthly beings can do that, you can do that. If I am able to do it, why can’t you? If I am able to communicate with gods, why can’t you? No need of going for proofs from books. Here is a living human being living with you, talking to you, eating with you, if he has attained it, why can’t you?

And when I went to America in ’95, 24 years back, I had seen these individuals and I am glad to say, I am proud to say that I have seen in America awakened yogis and awakened beings and individuals carrying the universal in their heart and mind hundred time more than what I am seeing in India. Every individual I have seen, whether it is in the Walmart, whether it is in the traffic junction, whether it is in the shop, I have seen dozens of those individuals working as deluded beings, as if somebody has put a veil on their awareness. Living like ordinary human beings, but truly they are not ordinary, they are extra ordinary and my heart was crying, crying to take out the veil from the thousands of individuals.

I never aimed to make thousands of individuals millionaires or billionaires. I… my heart cried to lift the veil from these individuals so that they can feel their oneness with God. They can feel that they are fulfilled. They may not have enough in the material world, but they are basically fulfilled. I did not see much poverty in USA in the material plane, but I see… saw great, great, great scarcity in America in the spiritual zone.

America is a country which I called The Heaven on Earth. When I saw deluded human beings who are truly gods but living the life of animals, when I saw hundreds of seers but living as desperate seekers, when I saw hundreds of noble beings thinking and crying for the whole humanity, but are penniless, those who can command the resources of the whole planet are leading a life of penury, misery, my heart cried and my soul aspired. I felt I must come down, I must descend and I must live with those who truly are the channels and instruments of Divine on Earth.

If America can be divinized, the whole planet can be divinized. Americans are having that strong vital. Americans are still having that untainted, uncontaminated heart which can be transformed very easily. Only a strong vital can withstand the pressure and the attack of the opposing undivine forces. Only an expanded mind can receive the wisdom that is descending.

I have not met all the Americans, but I have met thousands of Americans and I have seen, collectively they have a child’s heart, as simple, as pure as a child. Whether the person is 80-year-old or 8-year-old, such a pure child heart and a child’s mind. And if they feel love, they are ready to surrender. If they feel there is artificial love, if they feel there is hypocrisy covered with this sweet-coated words, they instantly withdraw. People say Americans are governed by mind. I say American are basically governed by heart.

So this time I’m going with a great aspiration. This time I’m going to welcome all, reject none, because America is passing through the most critical, most difficult and most challenging transitional crisis and we all must come together and we must think together, understand together, act together to transmit the positive force through our classes, our lectures, our discusses, our debates, our workshops, so that a clear message go to the subtle…the subtle Earth plane. This is the reason I appeal to the universal in each one of you to support Divine Mission and SCI in this great work of taking me, keeping me and allowing me to do what I feel needs to be done for the upliftment of consciousness in that land I call the Land of New Dawn.

Not only material support, I want the support of your heart. I want the support of your mind and I want the support of your soul. You may be remaining hundreds of miles away, it may not be possible for you to come and see me in person, but I promise and I assure you that whatever I will teach, whatever I will explain, whatever I will do, if you want to listen it, to see me in action mode, I assure and promise you, Divine Mission will send you a copy, because I understand it may not be possible for everyone those who listen to my appeal to come to where I am in America, so that you can also directly receive my transmission. Because I know when I speak, I never speak from mind, I never use my intellect to process what I should say. I simply become a channel and the words just gets revealed and that is when the light I carry, the wisdom I carry and the Love I carry gets transmitted and enters into you and begins its work to transform you, to uplift you and to help you in your struggle to reach the zone beyond transcendental.

This time I have the plan to complete my unfinished commentary on the Patanjali Yoga and also I would like to complete the commentaries on two other foundational scripture on yoga which has helped the yogis for the last thousands of years.

And finally, I would like to say, why am I coming? My first wish is to be just with you, because you are my greatest source of pure love. When I am with you, the awakened seer, the loving mother, the nourishing and supporting father and the trusted friend, I feel fulfilled, I feel honored. This is the reason first I want to come.

And second, I want to come because as intensely I am feeling to be with you, I also know that you also feel the same way intensely to be with a master who is so unpredictable that you can’t accept his words as true until you physically see him. This unpredictableness, this unpredictability has made me dear to you. I know this. This craziness has made you… made me both dear to each other.

So let us all rejoice. Let us all plan and join and work together so that we can truly give something to the earth that the earth needs so desperately now.

Thank you very much for listening to me. Sorry I was not aware that I am talking. Now suddenly I’m realizing I have talked too much. But whether it is a long speech or a few words, the transmission of Love is same.

Thank you. Bless you. Love you, and definitely seeing you soon.
