Narrator:
This is a transcript of the Bengali audio, translated into English for clarity. The discussion features a spiritual teacher (Gurudev) and his associates discussing predictions for the year 2021.
Devotee:
Pranam, Gurudev.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Pranam, Baba. Pranam. Tell me.
Devotee:
We see, Gurudev, many wise people sitting around you. Many of our audience members might know them, but we won't reveal their identities right now. So there will be a discussion among them, please listen. What will be the state of people in the current situation, how will they fare in the coming days? They will discuss this. Gurudev, please tell us what should be done.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Currently, a chaos has been created. It will take a terrifying form in the year 2021. I have no guarantee for '21. I've tried until 2020, but '21 is out of my hands. I won't be able to do anything. And the incidents that will occur are not desirable; people have never seen such things before. Such events will keep happening.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
The only way is to call upon God, to surrender with faith in God. This is the only way open. Vedanta says this, nothing else. No one else is saying this, Vedanta is. Walk with faith in God. Accept whatever happens; people must accept it. Otherwise, man is helpless. Science is gradually falling behind.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
People are coming towards spirituality; they must come. There's no mistake in this. People must embrace spirituality because as science fails, spiritual progress will occur. This has been said before: where science ends, spirituality begins. So, science will end sooner or later, and spirituality will begin. Then people will turn towards God in droves. Those who haven't yet will be forced to.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
I'm saying repeatedly, I have nothing to dictate for '21. Every kind of mishap that can occur, will occur. Each one will happen. And all those things falling from the sky, what we call meteors—one meteor will hit the Earth. 100% in this year '21. And its radioactivity will be 15 times more than the Hiroshima-Nagasaki bombings. The whole world will tremble. It might even reach 10-12 on the Richter scale. We must keep this in mind. Other countries are already alert.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
But people of our India, especially West Bengal, don't think about these things. They are just eating, drinking, and wandering around. Then, by the grace of Mamata Didi, there's plenty of "Tantu"—liquor—as we call it. This is taking a huge form. Gradually, boys and girls will come after drinking alcohol. This happens every time and will happen because "Kaliyuga" is about to end. A cataclysm will come. This cataclysm will happen in '21.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
I think once the dinosaur species ended, and in '21, many humans will perish. I don't know if they will survive or not. I don't know if existence will remain. This is my prediction. 2021 is a terrifying year. Due to famine, starvation, and lack of medical treatment, many people will die. They will become crippled. This is what I have to say about '21.
Devotee:
So, friends, the person I'm showing you now is Khepada. You won't know his real name now, but you will someday. Gurudev, regarding what you said... Khepada, if you have anything to say about this...
Khepada:
What more is there to say? Gurudev's word is an infallible word for me, a divine word. But it's true, given the current situation, one thing I feel is the need for self-restraint. All aspects of our lives—eating, living, movement—whatever is necessary for a human to survive, needs to be managed very tightly. Something might go wrong, something will definitely happen.
Khepada:
A year hasn't passed since a massive pandemic hit; the entire world suffered. Hundreds of people died; they couldn't eat; they couldn't even afford to eat. Such things were never imagined. If another such calamity comes, preparation is a must. What should the preparation be? It's not about money. How much money can help you survive a year or two? The point is, if one practices self-restraint, they can at least pull through for four, five, seven, or ten years. Then their future might be somewhat better. If they can't practice self-restraint, can't tighten things up, everything will be scattered.
Khepada:
There's concentric and there's discrete. The situation in the entire world now has become discrete, completely scattered. No one understands, no one listens, no one knows. There are no jobs, no food, no money... people are just wandering. There's no focus, no goal. Young boys have no jobs. Even more than the elderly being sick, young boys are sick. The young generation has become completely sick.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Whereas we say the elderly are more prone to sickness. We are the people of India; we want the young generation. What will they do, can you understand? They will belong neither here nor there. This is what will happen. Because our India has a great need for the young generation, and that's being crippled. By making them drink alcohol, indulge with girls, and do various bad things, they are becoming crippled. And people are coming to me in groups. Believe me, people are coming in groups. Now, what can I do alone? Where can I manage? I'll have to flee somewhere. There's no other way.
Devotee:
So Gurudev, we thought we wouldn't mention this gentleman's name, but you slipped and said "Doctor."
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Yes, he's a doctor. He's from Chhattisgarh or Jharkhand. He came here to see the Mother, so to speak. He's into spirituality too, and he's a doctor. I sometimes tell him, "Doctor, leave all this." He says, "No, I can't leave it. I'll do both medicine and this." Anyway, okay, I said do that then. Sitting next to me is Mr. Ghatak. Ask him to say something; let's hear what he says.
Devotee:
Tell us, Ghatak Da, please.
Mr. Ghatak:
Gurudev, after you've spoken, it's not right for us to speak. But everyone should participate in the discussion. Still, I have to submit a few things to you. You've been here for 1000 days performing the "Mahamritunjay" prayer for world peace and human welfare.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
That's old news now.
Mr. Ghatak:
Even if it's old, its impact remains. Despite your physical illness, you frequently rush to the Mother at Tarapith. You never go for yourself; you go for these people.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
That's right. Do you know why I go? Only "Tara" can save us. She is Jupiter personified. The one whom Jupiter worships, the one Jupiter meditates upon, is Mother Tara. So I can say without a doubt that Jupiter is above us, the Guru of the Gods. And Mother Tara is on our soil. We can't reach Jupiter, but we can reach Tara, the main goddess. We'll reach her. There's only one reason: Tara is the essence of the universe. Whatever keeps this world alive, whatever you see, is by the grace of Tara. So I have to keep going to Tarapith, performing "Homa" and "Yajna." If the Earth is to survive... '21 is a terrifying year; survival is difficult in this year. I've said it.
Mr. Ghatak:
People have a narrow self-interest, thinking only about themselves. The need to think about others seems to have completely vanished.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
It hasn't vanished. Look, there are some people like us—crazy, obsessed people. They are doing this because they know a terrifying time is coming. So we are trying our best to satisfy the Mother, keeping her with us, so that if a mishap occurs, the Mother can manage it. Nothing more.
Mr. Ghatak:
There's a good sign here: the people who are coming are mostly from the young generation, about whom there are so many complaints. The fact that more boys and girls from the young generation are coming here is perhaps a good sign.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Why wouldn't they come? They come to me when they are in trouble. They don't just come for no reason. Those who are in trouble are coming, and their number is not small. You see so many people sitting here; I haven't even looked today, yet there are so many. They are in trouble, facing danger every moment. They are taking refuge in me. I tell them to go to God. Let God do what He will. That's it, nothing else. So I'll say one thing to everyone in front of Gurudev, what Gurudev said: "Nanya Pantha Vidyate" (There is no other way). There is no other way but to call upon God. Vedanta says this; I'm not. Nostradamus said this; I'm just quoting. This is stated in Vedanta; it's being said repeatedly: stay restrained, be alert. A big accident can happen at any time. Be prepared for it and follow restraint, rules, and discipline. Follow these. I think you will be saved in many ways. You can survive.
Devotee:
So friends, the person you see on screen now, it's impossible to reveal his name or identity in any way. Still, since he is part of this discussion, we'd like to hear something from him. Sir, please say something about the topic that was raised.
Unnamed Gentleman:
The things Gurudev said today, every word he said aligns with reality. We who are sitting here, everyone agrees. We might not have seen Bama Deb with our eyes; he is considered a living Shiva. Today we have come to our Gurudev; he is also like that. Salutations to him. And on behalf of all of us, we are not in a position to say anything further. I'll end with this.
Devotee:
Gurudev, on behalf of the audience, your followers, and your disciples, we just want to hear a word of hope from you. You say '21...
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
I won't make any comment. '21 is terrifying. '21 is even more terrifying than '20. '20 has passed; '21 has come. People think we are saved, but they are wrong, absolutely wrong. '21 is even more fatal than '20. Nostradamus also said this. If you read carefully, you will see if what I'm saying matches or not. And he wrote this 300-400 years ago, and today I'm standing here saying it. I've read a lot of his words, and they seem to match. They just match.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
The only prayer to God is that what he said shouldn't come true. In '21, human existence will be wiped out. He said this. These are his words I'm relaying, but given the current situation and the way he analyzed things 300-400 years ago... that seems to be coming true. This is our only fear. I don't know if such a great philosopher or prophet has ever been born on Earth. Whatever he said has come true, and this will also come true—100% sure—about '21. People think that since '20 is over, we are free. But that's not the case. '21 is even more deadly than '20. The "poison of 20," one could call it "Vishkumbha Yoga," has started. So people must be alert. If not, they will die; there's no other way.
Devotee:
Gurudev is saying people should be alert. What kind of alert?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Alert only towards God. I'm telling you repeatedly, Vedanta... you must follow what Vedanta says. If you can't, you'll suffer the consequences. What more can I say? I have no guarantee for '21.
Devotee:
So audience, you heard a short discussion. You heard Gurudev's speech. Now there's no way but to call upon God. Gurudev, I'll take my leave for today. Pranam, Gurudev.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Pranam, Baba.
