Devotee:
Greetings, Gurudev.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Greetings, child. Speak.
Devotee:
I have come to you again today with another question. Various fields of knowledge like Agneyastra (celestial fire weapons) are mentioned in the Mahabharata and Ramayana. Through a series of transformations, these Agneyastras have taken on new forms today, and they are still present. So, from ancient times until now, how have these weapons exerted their influence on the world?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Look, there is one thing—this is destructive. Agneyastra means something destructive. You have seen before the bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki; they were chemical bombings. Because of them, plants still do not grow in many places, and children are born with disabilities. So, it has a lasting effect.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
In ancient times, when humans were first created, they made various weapons from stone for self-defense. Those were not inherently harmful to the environment. They were made from stone, various tools were crafted, and they were used—specially, they were never used against other humans. They were made to fend off animals like elephants or other beasts that attacked humans. Later on, humans always sought to protect themselves, conserve resources, or remain secure. As a result, the use of weapons has existed from the very beginning. It was there before, and it is here now.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Today, it has taken on a massive scale. But this is destructive; it is not constructive. It does not build anything; it only destroys. In the current situation, the world is burdened—the world is burdened by people. Now, you could say people do not just die; they are being killed. This biological warfare you see going on now, you can call that a weapon too. See how it has stunned the whole world. The whole world has completely shut down because of one "weapon." No gunpowder was spent on it. It is just what is called "chemical war." I said this long ago, and I am saying it again: chemical war has started; biological war has started.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
This war will continue now. One after another, biological threats will go, and new ones will come. Humans will not be able to do anything. Humans are not very familiar with this. Even doctors are not familiar with it. In that sense, a biological war has started. There is no need for physical ammunition here; as you have observed, biological means are more than enough to kill humans. If an atomic charge is set off, maybe 10, 15, or 20 miles are completely wiped out—where every person and animal dies.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Biological war is even more terrifying. I told you long before it began that a biological war would start and many people would die. Today you see COVID-19; after this, who knows what else is coming—you probably keep track of bits of news. More biological warfare is coming. Biological war is nothing else but the use of agents that are kept frozen. These biological agents are kept frozen and then applied after being scaled up. Biological warfare is scaled up; laboratories work on this, increasing the potency in various ways. Then it is released into the world through various means.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
What you see today as COVID-19 is a huge example. There is more biological war coming because, from what we have seen, this is the era of biological war. No one knows how long this will last, but people will die. There will be no specific medicine for them. They are making do with existing medicines, which might provide some relief, but people are still dying. This is how it is going, and the world is facing a great standstill. I think even if there were bombings or a Third World War, not as many people would have died as what is happening now. People are terrified; they are unable to leave their homes.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Even after this, biological war will return. I once said: you have seen the kakrol (spiny gourd), but you have not seen the kanthal (jackfruit). The "jackfruit" (something much larger and more formidable) will come. No doubt, it will come, and preparations are already underway—you can see hints of it in various places. This biological war has started in various forms. While doctors are managing COVID-19 with existing treatments, if more advanced biological wars come, doctors will not have the power to save anyone. We have already seen many doctors die.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Biological war has overshadowed the concept of a Third World War. It has brought everyone to their knees. There is not much chance for a traditional Third World War now because every country is busy trying to save its own citizens. So, biological war has started, and it will happen again. These agents are frozen in various laboratories, and they will increase production and release them again. They will be designed to spread from person to person. It will not just be about one person or one country; they are being engineered to spread rapidly. That is what you saw with COVID-19.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
What is coming in the future will take on an even more horrific form. COVID-19 was somewhat managed through existing medicines. But for a new medicine or vaccine to truly be developed, it takes 7 to 8 years. Even for HIV, there is no definitive cure yet, and it has been a long time. So, I do not think a real medicine for COVID will come out either; these vaccines are just part of a massive, terrifying business.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Just as there is a loss of human life, there is financial loss; there is loss on all sides. It is purely destructive. It does not do anything constructive. This mentality existed before too, even when humans were primitive. They would use stone weapons against tigers, lions, and rhinoceroses to survive. Back then, they lived in tribes. Now there is no tribal living; everywhere you look, there are just houses and people.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Nature will perhaps handle this eventually. As time goes on, the abuse of nature increases, and trees and plants are disappearing. There were weapons in the eras of the Ramayana and Mahabharata too; that was when weapons were truly put to use. In the war between Ram and Ravana, it is said many weapons were used. In the Kurukshetra war, even more ultra-modern weapons emerged. Today's weapons have been created using concepts from those ancient times, perhaps made even more advanced.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Usually, those celestial weapons were used by the gods, like the Pasupatastra, the Brahmastra, or the Mrigasira. These were not manufactured in factories; they were for divine use. The gods used them for mass destruction. If one Pasupatastra or Brahmastra is released, it is equivalent to modern atomic power. Those were modified into the chemical weapons we see today, and each is enough to wipe out humanity.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
In the coming days, something even bigger is coming, and I doubt if humans will be able to handle it. People are wandering around like vulnerable little birds. What is coming is something humans have not even been able to imagine yet. This biological war might just end the world. It is enough to destroy everything. These weapons are destructive; they do not serve any constructive purpose. One country makes a weapon to kill another, and that is exactly what is happening. Before it was atomic power; now, weapons are a thousand times more powerful. Releasing one could destroy an entire nation.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
These things existed before, they are here now, and they will be there in the future because hatred and envy are increasing. Now, the violence is not against animals; it is against humans. Everyone is preparing ways to kill more people. Perhaps a traditional Third World War will never happen because this biological war will take its place and claim many lives. That is all I have to say.
Devotee:
No, Gurudev, that is exactly what we wanted to hear from you.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Very well.
