Narrator:
What is your name?
Abhijit Sarkar:
Abhijit Sarkar.
Narrator:
Abhijit Sarkar. Alright. Hello, everyone. We are here with Abhijit Sarkar. Abhijit, where are you coming from?
Abhijit Sarkar:
I am coming from the city of Bremen, Germany.
Narrator:
Is this your first time meeting Gurudev?
Abhijit Sarkar:
This is my first time meeting Gurudev in person. However, I have been following Gurudev's YouTube channel from Germany for about a year and a half. I first discovered the channel while surfing the web. Since then, I've watched various episodes, including your conversations. I find his explanations very logical and scientific, which I really appreciate. While Mother's divine blessing is always there, the way he explains the world through logic and science is what I like most.
Abhijit Sarkar:
Last year, in January, I visited India, but Gurudev was very ill at the time. I came here then, but since he wasn't available, I offered my prayers to Mother. I had heard Gurudev say many times on his channel that if we have any troubles, we should share them with Mother. With that faith, I shared my heart's desires with Her and hoped that when I returned to India in 2020, I would visit Mother again and, if lucky, get to meet Gurudev. That is why I am here today. I am very happy to have finally met him.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
That's right. You see, God is an advanced science. Without science, there is no God. When you look at the progress of science today, you must realize that science cannot create anything on its own. It observes the particles that God has already provided, experiments with them, and then presents the results to you. Therefore, God is an advanced science. This is why I believe that to believe in science is to believe in God. Where there is no science, there is no God.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Spirituality is often seen as something that cannot be proven, but science demonstrates things. For example, it can show how water is formed by combining hydrogen and oxygen. Spirituality, in its true sense, should be just as demonstrable. God is nothing but advanced science.
Abhijit Sarkar:
I find the way he explains everything very logical. For example, you once mentioned that Hindus often talk about 33 crore (330 million) deities. In another episode, you explained that 33 crore doesn't just mean deities; it can also refer to 33 crore humans. This kind of explanation and the connections you make help us understand our scriptures much better.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
We are Hindus and we believe in Hinduism, but we haven't always been taught it properly. Hindu scriptures are so advanced that people from the West are now coming here to learn. The East and West are merging because people want to embrace whatever wisdom is left here. Those who previously believed in consumerism—in places like America or Germany—are now turning toward spiritualism.
Abhijit Sarkar:
Yes, even in Germany, many yoga classes are being held, and many people are becoming vegetarians. Many of my colleagues are now vegetarians and are interested in yoga. It's wonderful to see how these practices, which were once confined to India, are now benefiting people worldwide. People are becoming healthier and mentally stronger. Thanks to the media, we can access this information very easily now; otherwise, I might never have known about this place or been able to come here.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Yoga is about "addition and subtraction"—specifically, the subtraction of diseases. If practiced correctly, I can guarantee that diseases will vanish. While people in the West who were once consumerist are moving toward detachment, we in India are moving away from detachment and toward consumerism. That is the current trend.
Narrator:
Do your friends over there watch these videos?
Abhijit Sarkar:
I'm not sure about my friends, but I have shown them to my family—my parents and my sister—and they were very inspired. One challenge is the language. In the future, I suggest adding English subtitles to some of the basic videos so more people can understand.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
We are actually releasing a book in English very soon. It is being prepared for a global audience so that those who are interested in seeking the truth can understand it more easily.
Abhijit Sarkar:
That is a wonderful initiative. Language is essential for understanding these profound truths. If people can learn through books or subtitles, I am certain even more people will come to seek Mother's blessings.
Narrator:
It was a pleasure talking to you.
Abhijit Sarkar:
I am also very happy. I feel very fortunate to have met you all and Gurudev. It was my heart's desire to meet him while visiting Mother, and I am grateful it happened. I pray that Gurudev stays healthy and well. I believe that since Mother wants the best for us, She will keep Gurudev well. I hope to see him again the next time I visit.
