Interviewer:
Friends, you can see... I am now going to Gurudev. Gurudev, my respects to you. You have come to the temple after a long time today, and a Homa (fire ritual) is also being performed for the Mother.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Yes, the Homa is a regular occurrence. We have no shortage of rituals; we perform a Homa every week. And it is a grand Homa. We do this not for any other reason, but to keep the environment and the spiritual connection right. Looking at the current state of the world, I am worried. December hasn't even fully set in yet. If you look at what will happen from 2024 onwards... there will be a mass loss of life. A "cleansing" of humanity will begin in 2024. I am fearful of this, which is why I am trying to find some resolution through these rituals and sacrifices.
Interviewer:
But you are quite unwell yourself. You are supposed to be admitted to a nursing home tomorrow for surgery.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Yes, I will be admitted tomorrow, and the operation is the day after. That is fine, but this work is more important. People are constantly calling and asking how I am and how the Mother is.
Interviewer:
That is why I showed the Goddess first.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Yes, look at the fire now. There is no artificial light here; the Goddess is visible only by the light of the ritual fire.
Interviewer:
It looks beautiful.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Yes, show the Mother clearly. That is all that is needed.
Interviewer:
Gurudev, I have a question. Based on what we are seeing in the news and around us—is there some disaster or pandemic coming that is even more dangerous than Corona?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Look, it has already arrived. It is a pneumonia-type illness. Many children are being affected by it. This contagion has spread from China. China will definitely face a pandemic, but other surrounding countries will also be affected. I declared long ago that these diseases were coming. It is a terrifying form of pneumonia that is very difficult to recover from. I don't know what the doctors will do, but it has everyone worried.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Furthermore, 2024 will be a terrifying year. I call it the "Year of Death." People will die in large numbers. I don't know exactly how it will happen, but 2024 is the year of mortality. Everyone must remain cautious; being whimsical or careless won't work. If we don't stay alert, I fear the world as we know it might face an existential crisis.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
I am receiving reports from places like Canning and other areas that many young people are dying suddenly. We are performing these rituals to see if we can recover from this. I am praying to the Fire and the Mother so that the severity is lessened.
Interviewer:
What about 2025?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
2025 will also be difficult. There will be solar effects—solar flares or related phenomena. It will be very hard for people to get through 2024 and 2025.
Interviewer:
Will we see a return to lockdowns?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
It is heading in that direction. Very soon, it might move toward lockdowns again.
Interviewer:
Is there any way to save ourselves?
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
We are trying through these rituals. For the common public, there is no other way but the Maha Mrityunjaya Yagna (a ritual dedicated to conquering death). This is the only thing that can save us from this pandemic. I urge everyone to call competent priests and perform the Maha Mrityunjaya Yagna in various places. Use pure ghee and Bel wood for the ritual. I believe this can provide some relief.
Interviewer:
Friends, you heard Gurudev's message. Please spread this message so that people can perform these rituals at home.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Yes, the Maha Mrityunjaya Yagna and Harinam Sankirtan (chanting the names of God). These two things can give the world some respite. 2024 and 2025 are very dangerous. I am predicting this because I see no other way unless God saves us. As long as I am alive, I will continue these prayers.
Interviewer:
Thank you, Gurudev. We hope everyone stays healthy and safe. Respects to you.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Blessings to all.
