Interviewer/Helper: Greetings, Gurudev. Greetings. Gurudev, regarding the video we released yesterday about Manasa Devi, there was a small mistake in it.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: Yes, yes, a small mistake happened. It was a minor error.
Interviewer/Helper: If you could clarify that…
Guru Shyama Khyapa: Nothing else, but Tuhin Kumar Nath pointed out our mistake. Actually, Vasuki's father's name was Kashyapa Muni, and his mother's name was Kadru. I did mention Kadru. Perhaps during the recording or editing of the episode, a small mistake occurred. So, we are apologizing to him for this. It was indeed a mistake, and it is necessary to correct it because many people watch these videos. Kashyapa Muni is the father of Vasuki, and Kadru is the mother. I said \"Kadru,\" but it wasn't stated clearly. He wrote to us about it, which is good. I am happy that he watched the episode and pointed out the error so that people can know the truth. We are forever grateful to him for bringing this to our attention.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: Now, regarding today’s episode titled \"The Uninvited One,\" I saw some negative comments. Look, I didn't coach that gentleman on what to say. He came on his own and expressed his own feelings. These are not our statements; they are his personal feelings. There is a popular saying in Bengali: \"A jeweler recognizes a jewel; a pig recognizes only a tuber.\" Those who truly understand will recognize the value, but those who are like swine won't see beyond the mud. This proverb is very fitting here.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: Those who recognize the truth haven't made any negative comments. But there are some mischievous or malicious people who get triggered easily. It’s a matter of jealousy—sheer jealousy and hatred. That’s where it stems from. We aren’t discussing anything bad; we talk about God. Occasionally, a mistake might happen, like the one Tuhin Chandra Das pointed out. He corrected a small error, and that is a great thing to me. He watched the episode, noticed the mistake, and didn't make any other negative comments.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: As I said, we mentioned the mother’s name, Kadru, but there was a mix-up with the father's name, Kashyapa Muni. I apologize to everyone for that. We produce these episodes for the welfare of the people. The comments made by people coming from outside are not coached by us. They see me and express their views. So, there is no question of mockery here.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: As the saying goes, \"A jeweler recognizes a jewel; a pig recognizes only a tuber.\" A jeweler knows a good stone when he sees one. But some \"pigs\"—I don't want to take names—are only interested in grunting and looking for tubers; they have no eye for jewels.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: We don't bring people in or teach them what to say. They come suddenly, share their views, and address me. Some people are mocking this. Let them. I firmly believe in that proverb. What that gentleman said is his personal matter. If you want to listen, do so; if not, don't. But making foul comments is not right.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: There is also a Muslim boy who asks various questions. He should go ask his Haji or his own people. What is the point of asking us? He is trying to incite communal tension. I am telling you now: never ask me questions again. I will not answer, and I have forbidden my disciples from answering you too. Go ask your own people, those of your own faith.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: I am warning those people—don't mess with me. It won't end well for you. You will be pushed toward death. None of those who went against me are alive today. they have all met their demise. I will pray to the Mother [Goddess] for their end. It is better if such people do not exist on this earth. If they stay, they will only harm more people. They are like a cancer, a contagious disease. Therefore, I pray to the Mother that the sooner these people leave this world, the better it is for everyone. I have told the Mother, and I will tell her again.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: Greetings.
