(Sound of a ceremonial conch shell blowing) Hello, viewers. On this beautiful evening, I begin this episode by offering my respect to Mother Bhabatarini at Shantikuñja. I welcome those of you who are new to the Gupto Sadhok YouTube channel and thank our long-time friends for their support. Pranam (Greetings), Gurudev.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Pranam, my son.
Narrator:
Gurudev, we have observed a series of unfortunate incidents at the Puri Jagannath Temple recently. Most notably, a wall in the Garbhagriha (Sanctum Sanctorum) collapsed and fell onto the idol of Lord Balaram. What do you make of these events?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
These are symbolic signs. It is mentioned in the Jagannath Bhagabat that such events will occur in the Jagannath Temple. These are signs of a coming apocalypse (Pralaya) or the end of the Kali Yuga. We see this everywhere across all Devbhumi (holy lands)—it has happened in Amarnath and elsewhere. All these sacred lands seem to be heading toward destruction. There seems to be no way to save them; they are on the path of ruin. From this, it is clear that the end of Kali is near, and we are about to go through something terrible.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
After the destruction, Satya Yuga will come again, but this destruction will be massive. We are receiving news from all over, from all sacred sites, and none of it is good. To be honest, hearing these things makes one feel uneasy. I can't imagine how the future will unfold or how the final deluge will happen. Some say the world will be submerged in water. We have discussed before that the earth will eventually be underwater.
Narrator:
Recently, Gurudev, we saw floods in the desert due to heavy rain.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Yes, it was unimaginable. Floods are happening all over the world. You cannot imagine where all this water is coming from; it's beyond comprehension. There are floods everywhere, and deaths are being reported constantly. Now, even more people are dying in various places. It is very worrying.
Narrator:
Gurudev, let me mention something. About 500 years ago, a text called Bhabishya Malika was written by Achyutananda Das. He made several prophecies about the future of India and the world, specifically regarding the Puri Jagannath Temple, as he was a resident of Puri. The signs he mentioned seem to be coming true.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
They are coming true, one after another. Especially the signs regarding Devbhumi, Lord Jagannath, Amarnath, and Pashupatinath—all these places are giving us indications that an apocalypse is approaching. I don't know exactly how it will happen, but I am very concerned.
Narrator:
You mentioned the apocalypse; we see it happening in various parts of the world.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Yes, I see it every day. There is no place left that isn't experiencing floods. Seeing the helpless state of people—children, the elderly—it truly hurts my heart. Only God knows where all this water is coming from.
Narrator:
Do you believe the destruction of the world will happen through water, or is there another cause?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Water will consume the earth. There is no doubt about it. There isn't much time left, and there isn't even time to rectify our mistakes. We have made many mistakes, and we have to pay the price for them one by one. Not just God, but Nature itself is taking revenge. What we have done to Nature over many years... Nature has started its retaliation. It will be a severe revenge. It’s not a good situation at all.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Specifically regarding the Jagannath Temple, it was prophesied that it would be destroyed, and that process has begun.
Narrator:
Gurudev, I once mentioned to you that if the Puri Jagannath Temple is ever harmed, some disaster occurs in another part of the world. In this case, when the wall fell on Lord Balaram, we saw floods in the desert, and China fired 11 missiles that landed between Japan and Taiwan. Do you see this as a sign of a World War?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Certainly. A sense of chaos has been created from all sides. Humans are also pushing toward war, especially China. Will there be a World War where many people die? A young man who works on a ship came to me and showed me pictures of missiles and bullets. I was shocked. He told me, \"Gurudev, by your grace, not a single bullet hit me, but I have brought some samples to show you.\" He showed them to me, and I was stunned. They are powerful enough to pierce through steel. If they hit a human body, imagine the consequences. And this is coming from the Taiwan side. He saw drones and missiles with his own eyes. He came to see me yesterday or the day before and told me all this.
Narrator:
Another question, Gurudev. Bhabishya Malika predicts that 13 non-believer (Bidharmi) nations will attack India, and a part of Kalighat may be destroyed. In response, the Goddess might become enraged. What do you say to that?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
That is correct. Once the Mother becomes angry, there is no saving anyone. She will finish everything. We have heard this, though I don't want to declare it officially. I can't even imagine anything happening to Kalighat. But if an attack is made on Kalighat, the consequences will be horrific. Those who do it will have to pay a heavy price. There will be no way out.
Narrator:
Do you see any signs regarding the protection of Kolkata?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
I cannot say everything to the public right now; there is no point in scaring people. Let some things remain within us. But looking at how the Devbhumi are being destroyed, I can say that nothing will remain of them. I had hope for Amarnath, but we saw what happened there recently. In a holy land where people die and blood is spilled, it no longer remains a Devbhumi. No matter how much we try to save it, it loses its sanctity. The deities leave that place. I know this. We have seen that those who die of illnesses while practicing spiritual disciplines do not find a place there.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
If blood is spilled in a sacred land, the deities flee. So, what can I say? Even the deities themselves don't want these places to remain. They have started the process of destruction. It’s happening in Amarnath, where many more people died than the official count of 30 or 40. It happened in Kedarnath before. One by one, these holy lands are being lost. When people die there, it can no longer be called a Devbhumi.
Narrator:
Some might say that Devbhumi exists to protect people, so why would God allow this?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Listen, these holy lands were created naturally. But humans interfered, broke them down, and rebuilt them. That is how they are being ruined. Kedarnath, Amarnath, Pashupatinath—they were all natural. Humans touched them and ruined them. Even the Matadi temple is being changed by humans for aesthetic purposes, but the deities are not satisfied. They don’t want humans interfering with their sacred spaces.
Narrator:
Gurudev, one more question. Are Ma Saraswati and Vaishno Devi the same, or is there a difference?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
There is a big difference. Ma Saraswati is with Lord Brahma. There is a temple for her there, and also for Savitri and Brahma. That is in the mountains, near Ooty. Vaishno Devi is in Kashmir. There is a story that the demon Kali is currently performing penance in the Himalayas. It is said that when he finishes his penance, he will come down and try to marry Vaishno Devi. Whether this is true or not, I don't know, but I heard this a long time ago. They say when he tries to marry her, the Kali Yuga will end. This is what I've heard.
Narrator:
We’ve discussed the Jagannath Temple, Vaishno Devi, and Saraswati. It seems all holy lands are facing decline.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Yes, they are disappearing. As I said, once blood is spilled, the deity leaves. We learned this through our spiritual practices. Let me tell you about Kedarnath. When the Five Pandavas performed the Ashwamedha Yajna to cleanse the sins of the Kurukshetra war, they thought they were free of sin. They started their journey to heaven. On the way, they reached Kedarnath. Lord Shiva (in the form of a bull) tried to run away from them. Bhima caught him by the tail. The head of the bull fell in Pashupatinath (Nepal), and the body remained in Kedarnath. The idol there is actually the hump/back of the bull. I don't know if that sanctity still remains because so much has been moved and replaced.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
It is clear that the holy lands are eroding. Kedarnath, Amarnath, and now the Jagannath Temple. Lord Jagannath, who controls the universe—his own temple is being affected. Eventually, the sea will move forward and engulf the temple. The temple will be filled with water and fish. Lord Jagannath has already \"left\"—meaning many other Jagannath temples are being built, like in Kolkata. But how much he will remain in those new places after leaving his original home, I don't know. He had to leave his place because Kali (the demon of the age) will sit on his throne and rule. This is what is written.
Narrator:
We have heard your discussion today, Gurudev, and our viewers have too. I’m sure they found it insightful. Pranam, Gurudev.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Pranam, my son.
