Narrator:
Namaskar. Our Guru, the secret practitioner Sri Sri Shyama Khapa, has his ashram named 'Shantipunja' at the Rajpur cemetery. He has been practicing spiritual disciplines (sadhana) for 40 years. Through his divine vision, he has acquired knowledge, and he has shared these messages of wisdom with the world through YouTube for the welfare of humanity. In the Shantipunja Ashram, he performed a Mahamritunjay Yagna (a grand sacrificial fire ritual) for world peace, lasting 1,000 days. He continues to perform prayers, meditation, and rituals for the well-being of the general public. Many people from different parts of the world visit the ashram to receive Shyama Khapa's blessings and initiation.

Through conversation, new insights often emerge. Similarly, Shyama Khapa is discussing a new topic today. Please listen.
Devotee:
Guru, greetings.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Greetings. Jai Tara. Yes, tell me, son.
Devotee:
Guru, given the current environment and situation of society, people are suffering.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Why?
Devotee:
A virus called the "Novel Corona" has spread across the entire world. Because of this, people have been confined to their homes for many days. What should people do in this situation?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Look, I am not an expert. You can find many opinions by opening YouTube or looking elsewhere. I don't have much to say about those. But I thought of something: "Corona" means "don't do" (Koro-na in Bengali). From what I understand about Corona, my opinion is—"Corona" means "Don't mingle too much with people." If you can follow this, you will find liberation. That is the main point now—maintain distance and try to interact with people as little as possible. Stay home as much as you can. Now is not the time for festivities; it is the time for recovery. We must recover in any way possible.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Based on what I have gathered from health perspectives—I believe in health—I have advised people. The oxygen levels are quite good now because there is almost no pollution. We are breathing well and feeling light. Some people have performed rituals to purify the air, which is good. Ancient sages and monks used to do this. When such viruses appeared in the past, sages used to perform Yagnas and chant mantras to purify the area and bring peace. That is the essence. My non-expert understanding of "Corona" is: "Don't interact too much with people." If you maintain this, you will survive.
Devotee:
Guru, you performed a Yagna for the world to save people from this virus.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Well, I did it because I received instructions from above. Otherwise, why would I do it?
Devotee:
I won't speak of the whole world, but in our country, West Bengal has a lower impact compared to other states. Can we assume that—?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
No, no, there's no need to assume that. I did what I was instructed to do. I don't know what the result will be. I maintain my own space. I haven't taken responsibility for the whole world's affairs. I worry about the area where I live. In my area, South 24 Parganas, no one has been infected yet, as far as I know. I am working in my specific area, though we must also pray for world peace so everyone remains well.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Let me tell you a small story. A set of parents gave birth to a baby girl. After she grew a little, they learned from a doctor that she was suffering from an incurable disease. The outcome was certain death. Upon hearing this, the parents decided to abandon the girl. They left her by the side of a road and drove away, saying, "Stay here, we are coming back."
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
After a long time, the girl started crying. A nurse happened to be passing by. Seeing the girl crying, she approached her and learned that her parents had left her. The nurse took her to the hospital where she worked. She arranged a place for her and provided food.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
One day, senior doctors came for an inspection. They asked who the girl was and if she was a patient. The nurse explained the situation and mentioned that doctors had said she wouldn't survive. The senior doctors examined her thoroughly and confirmed, "Yes, she has no chance of survival. She will die soon."
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
The nurse was devastated. She decided to keep the girl close to her. She gave her a picture and said, "Look, this is your doctor. Pray to Him, tell Him your heart's desire, and He will cure you." That picture was of Jesus Christ. The girl, having grown enough to understand, began to pray every day.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Much later, when the girl had grown older, the senior doctors returned. They saw the girl and asked about her. After re-examining her, they were shocked. "She has no disease at all! She is completely cured. You can take her home."
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
The girl, now older, had a question: "Which doctor cured me?" She asked the nurse repeatedly. The nurse pointed to the picture of Jesus and said, "He cured you." The girl said, "I want to see this doctor." The nurse replied, "You will see Him on December 25th. He will come to you."
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
On December 25th, as per custom, the girl prepared food, medicine, money, and warm clothes to give to the needy, as Jesus is said to visit through them. In the morning, a man with no clothes came, shivering in the cold. The girl gave him warm clothes. He blessed her and left. At noon, a very hungry man came. She gave him food. He blessed her and left. In the evening, an old man came asking for money for medicine, saying he would die without it. She gave him the money.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Later that night, the girl broke into tears in front of the picture of Jesus. "Is this the doctor who cured me? The one who is naked, hungry, and poor?" She cried until she fell asleep. In her sleep, Jesus Christ appeared from the picture, placed His hand on her head, and said, "I came to you three times. First as the naked man, second as the hungry man, and third as the man needing medicine. It was I who received those things from you." The girl woke up weeping with joy.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
The point is, when Russia was divided, conch shells were sounded in every house. In India's current situation, we must do the same. Many people are saying many things, but according to astronomy, the current positions of the planets—Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Rahu—suggest things are not going to get better immediately. This is a time of great loss for humanity. Only God can save us now. "He whom God protects, no one can harm." Even in places like Italy, people are now performing Vedic chants and rituals because they realized that their advanced science couldn't dictate terms to this virus. The last resort is to call upon God.
Devotee:
Guru, people are restless after these days of lockdown. From children to the elderly, everyone says they can't take it anymore. There are rumors that the lockdown might be extended.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Look, the authorities have the data on how many people are dying and how the infection is spreading. It's not possible for the general public to know the full truth. Half of what you see on YouTube is fake. The authorities understand the situation better. Wait a few more days. If it saves humanity, we must do it. As I said before, the best way to stop Corona is: "Don't interact too much with people." This is how it will be contained.
Devotee:
Greetings, Guru.
