Interviewer:
Pranam, Gurudev.
Gurudev:
Pranam, Baba. Pranam.
Interviewer:
Gurudev, we have been filming episodes with you for a long time, sharing moments of joy, sorrow, and happiness. In late 2021, you made a terrifying prediction regarding the year 2023. You gave many hints about what might happen. Looking at the current situation in India and the world, it seems people are not fully grasping the gravity. Could you help people understand what is coming?
Gurudev:
Look, the youth today are busy with their festivities and fun. They do not want to believe these things. They think, "Whatever happens, happens." But as you know, it started in China with Corona. Look at the state of China today. They tried to "prepare" people, but they could not. Last time, many people diedâI saw it with my own eyesâbut it did not cause "total" destruction. Now, they are caught in their own trap. Japan will be affected, America will be affected, and Britainâeveryone will be affected. No one will be spared. From what I recall, the Bhabishya Malika (ancient book of predictions) states that 60 crore (600 million) people will vanish from the earth in 2023.
Interviewer:
600 million?
Gurudev:
Yes. It could be you or me; it does not matter. 600 million will die just from this disease. It's a new name, one that even doctors are not fully familiar with yet. Since many of us have taken vaccines, we do not know how much they will help, but they should offer some protection. Regardless, 2023 is a disastrous year. It has already begun.
Gurudev:
Disasters will start from Kedar-Badri. Badrinath will be abolished first by a massive earthquake, followed immediately by Kedarnath. Tirupatinath will also be affected. Wherever Narayana (Vishnu) resides, He will leave, because Kalki is coming. Narayana must make way for the Kalki Avatar, who is coming with immense power.
Gurudev:
Furthermore, weapons used in the battles of Kurukshetra or the Ramayana, which were buried underground, are beginning to resurface. Our Nandi (the sacred bull) is growing every day. The roar of Nandi will cause great harm to the world; he is growing dailyâit's a stone, yet it growsâand his roar can now be heard.
Gurudev:
Kedar-Badri will be lost. Kailash will sink. It will not look as high anymore; it will subside. This will cause sea levels to rise because the balance is shifting. Kailash has started sinking; its height is decreasing. This is all written in the Bhabishya Malika. Everything it has predicted so far has come true.
Gurudev:
Even regarding Jagannath, He will have to move to another place; His new place is already prepared. 2023 will be terrifying. There could be massive meteor showers killing many people. Given the sun's current state, meteorites are a high possibility. Everything looks bad for 2023.
Gurudev:
Many sadhus and saints are already leaving Kailash. Just as rats flee a hole when they sense an earthquake, our sadhus have realized a great disaster is coming. In this time of destruction, the gods will not stay; they will move to different realms among the 14 worlds. Some will go to Vishnu-lok, some to Brahma-lok, and some to Shiva-lok. The Earth will become empty of their presence.
Gurudev:
Mahadev (Lord Shiva) said that during this great destruction, only Adya Shakti Mahamaya can hold the Earth. He advised two things for the Kali Yuga: perform Hari Naam Sankirtan (chanting the names of God) and worship Adya Shakti Mahamaya. Chant the 32-letter mantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. This is the primary way.
Gurudev:
The time is here; it's knocking at the door. Disasters can happen any night. I am particularly worried about the mountain regions. I do not know how big the earthquake will be, but the destruction of Kedar-Badri is unthinkable yet predicted.
Gurudev:
Another major event: the water in Gangotri and Yamunotri will dry up. The glaciers are vanishing; they are just dripping now. Once these sources stop, the Ganges (Ganga) will eventually dry up. This has been said repeatedly. Every word is coming true, literally.
Gurudev:
I'm not trying to scare people, but I am saying: be careful. The time is not good. Fight this new wave of COVID as we did before. Wear masks, wash your hands, and avoid crowds. The Ganga Sagar Mela is coming up, along with Christmas and New Year celebrations. I do not know what will happen with millions of people gathering. The government is worried, but you must take more precautions than the government suggests. Avoid large gatherings, wear masks, and maintain distance. This disease spreads through contact.
Interviewer:
Gurudev, when the second wave came, people had just started forgetting about Corona. Then it hit so hard. This new wave being discussed now sounds like the end of 2019 again.
Gurudev:
It started in November 2019. Now, reports say one person died and seven are infected, but who knows the truth? From the images coming out of Chinaâthough they hide a lotâit looks like 10 lakh (1 million) people might have already died. There is no space left. If it's in China today, it can reach India tomorrow.
Interviewer:
And China is a country where rules are easily implemented. India is different.
Gurudev:
Yes, our administration is not like theirs. Our youth often say, "Oh, nothing will happen, they are just trying to scare us." Someone even wrote to me saying, "Do not scare people." I'm not scaring anyone. I'm telling the truth. If you like it, listen; if not, do not.
Interviewer:
It's not about fear; it's about the fact that we should be cautious, but instead, we are wandering around carelessly.
Gurudev:
That's exactly how it will spread. People will be affected because of that attitude. 2023 is a year of food shortages, too. You can still find food in the markets now, but a shortage is coming, which will be another disaster. Our economy might also collapse; we are afraid of the financial damage.
Interviewer:
The RBI mentioned months ago that we are heading for an economic crisis. Along with that, the weather has changed so much.
Gurudev:
The weather has changed drastically. You sweat at night; it's hot, and you cannot even use a blanket. Then suddenly it gets cold. This cycle of hot and cold air is a sign.
Interviewer:
We used to call India a temperate country, but now it's becoming extreme.
Gurudev:
This was predicted back in Indira Gandhi's time. When she planted trees in the desert, people warned her not to interfere with the natural state of things. She wanted to make the desert green, and what we are seeing now is a result of those policies. If you shift the weight on one side of the scale, the other side is affected.
Gurudev:
Our Himalayas are standing guard, and we have our rivers. Poets once said that the "immortal" rivers Ganga and Godavari have not dried up yet, but they are beginning to now. It's written in the Bhabishya Malika. If the Ganga and Yamuna dry up, can you imagine the consequences? Science and religion are reaching the same conclusion.
Gurudev:
Religion is not outside of science. Science and religion together create a balance. But today's youth do not want to believe that. Regardless of your mindset, the conclusion is the same. I'm telling you this to explain the current fear.
Interviewer:
During the first wave, you stayed at Shantiniketan. During the second, you said it was not as scary. How do you see this third one?
Gurudev:
It has not fully hit India yet, but it will. If the government is not proactive, many will die. People coming on planes from abroad should be isolated immediately so they do not mix with the general public. We survived before because India is a spiritual country, but if we are reckless, we will not survive. If I drink too much, my liver will fail. We must be conscious and work with the government. The government can only do so much; you have to take responsibility for your own safety.
Interviewer:
Those who lost loved ones in 2019 know the pain.
Gurudev:
I know a doctor whose son died. A friend's son died. They were youngâ30 or 35 years oldânot old people. They were married and had lives ahead of them. We saw this with our own eyes. It's scary.
Gurudev:
We are making this video to tell you: protect yourselves. If you are the sole breadwinner, your family depends on you. Do not wait for government mandates. Wear your mask, avoid crowds, and sanitize. One person can bring this home and destroy the whole family. It travels through the air and breath.
Interviewer:
Gurudev, this new Omicron sub-variant in China is said to be very infectiousâone person can infect 10 to 18 people.
Gurudev:
That's why it's spreading so fast. No one can control it. Those who created it in China are suffering now. But we must maintain social distancing and wear masks. This "COVID-19" is dangerous when it starts spreading. It's becoming more severe. It used to be through cough or droplets; now it's in the air. If the very air we breathe is toxic, our chances of immunity decrease.
Gurudev:
This is what worries me about 2023. These things will happen. Disasters in the "land of the gods" (Devbhoomi) will happen. I'm just praying to God, but even God might not respond because this is the time when the "protector" is leaving. Narayana, who maintains the world, is leaving. Who will protect you? He is already gone, as far as I know. He is in the 14th realm. Above all are Krishna and Radhika.
Interviewer:
So, viewers, this is not to scare you, but to ask for caution.
Gurudev:
Scaring is one thing; caution is another. Take precautions now so it does not spread. We have a duty. Do not just look to the government. Sanitize, wear masks, and avoid crowds. Be very restrictive with your movements.
Interviewer:
Pranam, Gurudev.
Gurudev:
Pranam, Baba.
