00:00Divya Mahakumbh has begun in Sangam Nagari, Prayagraj.
00:05Devotees and Sadhus are arriving from every corner of the country.
00:10Thousands of Naga Sadhus are seen doing Japa, Tapa and Sadhana.
00:15In one of the biggest Akhalas, Juna Akhala, Naga Sadhus are being celebrated.
00:21The life of Naga Sadhus has always been a topic of discussion for the common man.
00:26There are so many questions related to Naga Sadhus that have always been in people's minds.
00:32The famous Thanapati Ghananandgiri Maharaj, known as Kedarnath Gufawale Baba,
00:37has given interesting information about all these aspects related to the life of Naga Sadhus.
00:44Ghananandgiri Maharaj says that the Naga Sanyasa Parampara is very ancient.
00:49This Parampara has been going on since the beginning of Satyug.
00:53Since the time when man was born in the universe,
00:57the roots of Naga Dharma are associated with the four sons of Brahmaji,
01:00Sanat Sarandhan, Sanatan and Sanat Kumar.
01:03Naga Sadhus live like Lord Shiva.
01:06They wear Rudraksha, play Bhasma, drink Chilam,
01:10and if they want, they can also do Vishpan towards Lord Shiva.
01:15Naga Sadhus are Naga Sanyasis.
01:19This is the Sanyasa Parampara.
01:21This is very ancient.
01:25It has been going on since the beginning of Satyug.
01:27Since the time when man was born in the universe,
01:35this has been the Sanyasa Dharma.
01:37Before the birth of human Dharma,
01:39before human Dharma was performed,
01:41Sanyasa Dharma took place in human beings.
01:43Then, for human actions,
01:45the human beings accepted it.
01:48Before the birth of Sanatan and Sanatan Kumar,
01:52when they were given the knowledge,
01:55they accepted the Sanyasa Diksha.
01:58They did not accept the Girat Jeevan.
02:01Then, after them, the Saptarishis were born.
02:06So, this Sanyasa Parampara has been going on since the beginning.
02:09This is Sanyasi.
02:11What is there in them?
02:12They are Sanyasis and their actions are of Lord Shiva.
02:16Sanyasis are like Lord Shiva.
02:19They are the family of Lord Shiva.
02:20Lord Shiva is the Lord.
02:21So, all their actions are like that of Lord Shiva.
02:24Wearing Rudraksha,
02:26wearing Trishul,
02:28wearing Bhasmi,
02:30wearing Bhagambari,
02:31wearing Chandrama,
02:32wearing Naag,
02:34they do everything like Lord Shiva.
02:36If they want, they can drink poison like Lord Shiva.
02:39They drink Chilam.
02:41So, this Naga Sanyasi,
02:43their Sanyasa is like Lord Shiva.
02:47If someone wants,
02:49they can worship Lord Shiva.
02:51If they want, they can worship Lord Shiva.
02:53So, by worshipping the Sanyasi,
02:55the Sanyasi Naga Digambar,
02:58by worshipping him,
03:00in Sanyasa,
03:01they can worship Lord Shiva.
03:04How do Naga Sadhus become?
03:06In response to this,
03:07Lord Ghananandgiri says that
03:09Sadhus can be born
03:11and can also be born in old age.
03:13Anyone can become a Sadhu.
03:15When Sadhus are born,
03:17then by Guru's inspiration,
03:18penance begins.
03:20If someone's penance lasts for 12 years,
03:22then someone's whole life
03:24is dedicated to penance.
03:26Naga Sadhu can be born
03:31and can also be born in old age.
03:34Anyone can become a Sadhu.
03:36But when Sadhus are born,
03:38when Sanyasis are born,
03:40then by Guru's inspiration,
03:42penance begins.
03:44So, someone's penance lasts for 12 years,
03:46and someone's penance,
03:48they are always
03:50dedicated to penance,
03:52and someone's penance
03:54lasts for 21 days.
03:56Some people do penance
03:58for 21 days,
04:00some people do penance for 12 days,
04:02some people do penance for 12 days,
04:04but the special penance
04:06is either for 12 years,
04:08or for life.
04:10This is penance.
04:12In penance,
04:14there are many types of penance.
04:16Japa is also penance.
04:18It is japa.
04:20Japa is japa.
04:22Japa is penance.
04:24Japa is like standing
04:26or standing all day,
04:28or doing Dhuni penance,
04:30or doing Agni penance,
04:32or doing Jal dhaara.
04:34All this is penance.
04:36Right?
04:38And meditation,
04:40meditation is a different thing.
04:42Right?
04:44In meditation,
04:46we have to do yoga,
04:48we have to do asana,
04:50and in that,
04:52we have to think of God.
04:54Not worry,
04:56we have to think of God.
04:58We have to sit in His thoughts.
05:00That is called meditation.
05:02And from meditation,
05:04meditation,
05:06japa, tapa, meditation,
05:08we get God,
05:10the power of nature,
05:12and the form of nature.
05:14Right?
05:16We get His power.
05:18Nagasadhus
05:20like to stay away from
05:22ordinary people.
05:24They are engaged in penance
05:26and meditation all day long.
05:28Ghananandgiri Maharaj
05:30has told the reason behind this.
05:32The time has come for change.
05:34The time of Kalyug has come.
05:36We have a temple in our village
05:38for sanyasis.
05:40We have a matha temple in our village.
05:42We live there.
05:44Some sanyasis live in caves,
05:46some in jungles.
05:48Some of the sanyasis,
05:50who live in penance,
05:52in worship of Lord Shiva,
05:54they live in caves,
05:56in caves,
05:58in caves.
06:00Some of them become invisible.
06:02They become secretive.
06:04They don't meet anyone.
06:06Right?
06:08They live in penance.
06:10At times,
06:12when there is a Kumbh Mela
06:14or a special event
06:16of Sanatan,
06:18when our Sanatan
06:20looks for us,
06:22or wants to attract us,
06:24then we become invisible.
06:26And our secret yogis,
06:28the yogis,
06:30the penance yogis,
06:32even there,
06:34we get the message
06:36of Sanatan.
06:38While talking about the preparations
06:40of Mahakumbh,
06:42Ghananandgiri Maharaj said
06:44that in the earlier times,
06:46the king used to arrange
06:48for the sanyasis.
06:50Now the government
06:52looks after the arrangements of Mahakumbh.
06:54They say that since PM Modi
06:56has been elected,
06:58the arrangements have been made.
07:00For us,
07:02this Kumbh Mela,
07:04the kings of our country
07:06used to arrange for us.
07:08Because we,
07:10the sanyasis of Sanatan,
07:12Naga is an army of Sanatan.
07:14We have changed
07:16from sanyasis
07:18to protect Sanatan.
07:20So, Naga sanyasis
07:22are an army of Sanatan.
07:24Naga Baba is an army
07:26and he is a sanyasi.
07:28He doesn't take salary from anyone.
07:30So, whatever we get,
07:32from this world,
07:34we get as donation.
07:36So, taking donation is our work.
07:38So, taking donation
07:40and from that,
07:42our daily activities,
07:44doing sadhana,
07:46doing bhajan,
07:48whatever we need,
07:50sun, light, everything,
07:52whatever donation we get,
07:54with that donation,
07:56we support that work.
07:58So, earlier,
08:00the kings used to arrange for us.
08:02Now, some work,
08:04like Kumbh Mela,
08:06the work of Kumbh Mela,
08:08our government is looking at it.
08:10Yes, I have done many Kumbhs.
08:12By the way,
08:14I have done countless.
08:16And this time,
08:18since Yogi ji
08:20and Modi ji
08:22have been formed,
08:24since then,
08:26good facilities are being given for Sanatan.
08:28Ghananandgiri Maharaj
08:30also talks about that
08:32humiliation which
08:34often sadhus and sanyasis
08:36laugh and tolerate.
08:38They say, asking for donation is not bad.
08:40What do you have to do with money?
08:42Why are you asking?
08:44You should ask for two rotis.
08:46Why are you asking for two rotis?
08:48Why are you asking for two rotis?
08:50You will get it sitting down.
08:52Many people say like this.
08:54It is not like that.
08:56They don't ask for it.
08:58But some sadhus ask for it.
09:00Those who don't get it,
09:02they ask for it.
09:04So, asking for it is not a bad thing.
