A quiet Sunday sit-down under an old tree beside a small stone chapel. We share a simple practice for tender hearts, a little story about letting go of a storage container, and a soft kirtan you can chant with us. Offer a flower, a sip of water, a breath. Rest in the holy names.

you tell me when you're ready to display this play

2

oh it's playing already

3

it's like always

4

I always start and then you get ready and I'm like

5

it's on already so Namaste

6

Namaste

7

the divine in me bows to the divinity within you

8

or of the Lord in the heart within me

9

I'm not the Lord in the heart

10

but let's just say

11

I bow to the Lord in the heart within you

12

ha ha ha ha

13

and I also humbled myself before the Lord in the heart

14

in my own body

15

I'm Mark and I'm Maria

16

and this is to see magic on the daily

17

and it's Sunday today so a nice little Sunday service

18

and we have our guest star here behind us

19

this beautiful

20

even the roof is made out of stone

21

and we are dedicated to visiting

22

some of the nicest places on the planet

23

and to spend some time with you

24

and thanks for tuning in and turning on and dropping in

25

and um

26

thanks for your being time and energy

27

and we hope that you're

28

whatever you're going through today

29

in whatever body you have

30

that you're

31

that you're doing okay

32

I'm so relieved

33

because today is the last day of the container sale

34

ha ha for the last 10 days

35

maybe you can explain

36

for the last 10 days what we've been doing

37

I had this container that I filled up with all my stuff

38

in England

39

because I couldn't let go

40

of it two years ago almost

41

almost in June yeah

42

but I really feel like the last two years was

43

getting ready

44

to let go of all that stuff

45

I remember two years ago in June

46

helping her push all this stuff into this container and

47

um it would have been so much

48

I know now it would have been so much easier

49

just to have people over and just give away things

50

having the barn is a

51

showroom that's how you call it right

52

to have the barn as a showroom

53

to have people see what I had back then

54

it's so much more difficult to sell it

55

out of the container yeah

56

especially a little container in the middle of nowhere

57

um

58

people anyway that I think the lesson is

59

obviously there's legitimate time

60

place and circumstance to have a storage container

61

but if you don't have to get stuff into storage

62

please don't you're just holding on to things yeah

63

ultimately it might never take out anyway

64

yeah and sometimes they get

65

it so eroded and denuded and broken down

66

by the time you try to sell them or get rid of them

67

they're they're no longer really that usable for anyone

68

it's not none of it's our stuff to begin with

69

and obviously and but we were so lucky I

70

I felt so guided and our prayers were heard

71

because great people came by

72

and the right people got the right things

73

and we had some nice

74

we always had a little offering before we went in

75

a little incense yeah

76

on our altar and then we had it burning

77

and people would come and go ooh

78

that smells really good and they were getting prasadam

79

that's means the lord's mercy

80

it's uh

81

and we had all these curtains playing the whole time

82

in the background yeah

83

we had some nice chanting music going on

84

very mellow in the background

85

people would often tell it's not you

86

sometimes people just want to hang out for longer

87

cause we managed to make a beautiful the

88

the holy names of god and

89

and that's and the sacred yoga sound

90

vibrations of transcendental mantra meditations

91

they um

92

all life forms can benefit

93

everything that breathes praise is

94

you know

95

can hear and a field of wavelength and vibration

96

so often people

97

we made this amazing space out of this sort of

98

it wasn't a dirt floor it was a concrete floor

99

giant indoor container centre

100

with these giant shipping containers all in there great

101

really good uh

102

business model if you wanna uh print print money

103

a mailbox money every month but um oh

104

we should make a video saying goodbye to the container

105

tomorrow yeah

106

yeah yeah tomorrow we leave

107

but here we are on Sunday and you know

108

it's not the age for elaborate temple worship

109

and it's so easy in this age

110

in the Bhagavad Gita Krishna says to Arjuna

111

his disciple and friend if one

112

offers me with love and devotion

113

a little fruit some water

114

a leaf a flower

115

I will accept it and so here

116

I'm just going to lean over

117

there's one of my favorite flowers

118

a dandelion

119

and we can simply I thought it's a daisy

120

that's a dandelion

121

no I mean

122

your favourite flower

123

I thought your favourite flower is a daisy

124

I love many flowers but we were thinking that

125

thanks for reminding me

126

because we've been to some of the biggest

127

grandest epic cathedrals and stupas and and

128

and met

129

and mosques and temples and churches around the world

130

but we often find our favorites are small

131

quiet little timeless elegant

132

small beautiful spaces of worship

133

like this under a tree

134

or in a beautiful little country village stone chapel

135

which has probably been used for over 100 or 200 years

136

and we keep coming back to this place

137

there's a huge metal

138

and all these beautiful cows here in their cast

139

we can see them

140

when we meditate let's

141

let's maybe we'll meditate

142

but we'll we'll

143

one form of meditation is offering the Supreme Being

144

that's funny it's like it

145

obviously God owns everything

146

and he doesn't need anything from us

147

what he wants is our love and our devotion

148

because he knows it's what will make us happiest

149

but just like a child can

150

sometimes go into the yard of the parent

151

pick a flower

152

and bring it inside and offer it to his mom or

153

dad or her mom or dad or parent or guardian with love

154

and the parent or guardian goes

155

oh thank you

156

it's their flower to begin with

157

but just like that this is God's flower

158

and God's energy and God's creation

159

but we can offer back to him simple things with love

160

so you can just take a flower or a cup of water

161

and Gita also Christian says

162

I am the taste of water you know

163

and these simple elegant

164

timeless and although I love orchids

165

I tend to gravitate more towards daisies

166

and black eyed Susans and dandelions

167

because I love them and they grow everywhere

168

and they're just

169

equally as beautiful as the most exotic and

170

and rare of plants

171

so on this Sunday

172

we offer this little flower to Krishna

173

we say please

174

dear Lord

175

although I'm most fallen and

176

although I have many faults

177

please overlook them

178

and please accept this small offering to you

179

through the Grace of your holy names

180

Copala Kalinga Ramana

181

Adana Mohana

182

or as the Shepherd boy

183

David sings in the house of David on Prime Adonai Elohi

184

so many names throughout all the universes

185

in all the different languages

186

all referring to the same Supreme

187

person God so many beautiful names for God

188

so please um

189

let's let's do a little garongga

190

shall we

191

I was just thinking I woke up and the birds

192

started singing

193

and it felt like all the birds are singing God's names

194

at the same time in their language

195

one of my favourite teachers Gurudass

196

he always said he was quoting Psalm 1:50

197

we just saw Psalm 1:50 uh

198

at a little church in Chichester

199

where there's a beautiful Mark Chagall

200

one of my favorite artists

201

he did a lot of beautiful work in the churches

202

and stained glass windows

203

um

204

there's a quote from Psalm 1:50 there

205

and Gurudas used to always say

206

everything that breathes praises the Lord

207

and doesn't it just

208

so let's praise the Lord yeah

209

we're gonna do maybe five nice gora or wanna do 10

210

let's do 10 let's do 10 go

211

go raaunga let's do 12 let's do 13

212

13 moons in the year it's a nice

213

nice magic number

214

uh is that okay

215

yeah so go Ra angah go Ra angah

216

he whose body is more beautiful than molten gold

217

refers to the spring person

218

rock

219

on

220

go

221

around

222

uh

223

5 more times

224

thinking the sound go wrong as you breathe in

225

um

226

one more time

227

so nice

228

after a day of just lots of people coming and going

229

and selling stuff and letting go of 20 30

230

40 years of of stuff collected and saved over time

231

we all do that

232

it's really great to go through

233

it was difficult in the beginning

234

I was really slow in the beginning

235

but it got easier and easier

236

and you remember the times when I was like

237

Aah ha ha ha ha ha ha

238

yes I do

239

ha ha

240

ha ha ha

241

I'm like Aah

242

and in those times what

243

it didn't go wrong

244

to help a little girl on her breathing

245

yes and that's when we sat down and we

246

we did some korangas and then I was like

247

I'm so sorry I'm

248

I'm empathic and I I would feel her stress

249

and I would get a little stressed

250

and then we would come out to little places

251

little places in the woods or nearby

252

or even just the side of the road in the van

253

just do some garonga breathing

254

yeah so obviously

255

we thank you for helping us because by else

256

offering this and doing it

257

we're also getting the benefit and it's beautiful

258

everyone

259

all of life benefits

260

everything gets to hear this beautiful

261

transcendental sound

262

vibration which descends from the non material world

263

doesn't require I don't have to

264

my knees hurt and I can't put my leg over my head

265

like ha ha yoga

266

and I don't have to go up and down

267

and try to be a yogic flyer

268

or try to you know

269

do some advanced mystic process

270

I can just relax and let the

271

let the medicine do its work

272

strong medicine and uh

273

and thank you to all of our

274

our teachers who have encouraged us along this path

275

to Haribul

276

praise the praise the name of the Lord

277

yeah thank you

278

we see that in the Bible and the Quran and

279

and so many scriptures the Torah

280

the New Testament of course

281

the Vedas and the Srimad Bhagavatam of course

282

Chaitanya Nucherimeda Bhagavad Gita

283

yeah

284

I was a couple times I was quite desperate and I was

285

in my heart I was crying out

286

please help me

287

and it was so nice when you're really desperate

288

and my heart was aching I

289

I really felt coming down

290

this mercy and this Grace is coming down to you and

291

and I just calmed down

292

and I knew everything will be alright

293

so and everything is gonna be alright ha ha ha yeah

294

and now my pockets are full of many

295

many British pounds

296

that we can spend in the next two weeks on our travels

297

so we would love to take you with us to our travels to

298

we say

299

we say hello to our new friends Gore

300

um um

301

Margaret and Norman and Norman hey hey

302

this is just the day

303

this is the same day of the last that we saw you two

304

so thank you for coming out

305

and we know that the

306

all the things you guys have are gonna

307

I'm so happy they ended it with them

308

it's so

309

it's good to know that what you love one

310

one at one time is appreciated and ungratefully

311

and it's not in vain and it's not just thrown out

312

but it's it's creating joy

313

I think

314

the thing that gave me the most was to know that

315

some of the things will still keep giving joy yeah

316

and then and actually

317

everything was still in good enough shape

318

cause

319

it was only two years ago that we put it into storage

320

yeah that it was all usable still

321

and people were giving a whole box to a pub that

322

a young couple that bought a pub in there

323

you know they

324

they need kitchen stuff and a young lady came

325

who had moved back from Australia

326

hi Amy hi Amy and she uh

327

went through all the clothes that we couldn't take

328

and was so happy and yes

329

she was just like do you have something warm and cold

330

and we're approaching Easter and it's wonderful

331

Christ's message was you know

332

give what you have to the poor and follow me

333

and that's a very advanced state to the

334

of the nine steps of devotional service

335

giving all to the Lord is step 9

336

it's the first three Shravanam Kirtinavishnasharma

337

hearing repeating and remembering

338

and then worshipping and offering

339

the first five steps

340

any person can participate

341

and even anyone that's most fallen or even in the

342

in the scripture it says even if you're a beginner

343

if you just faithfully hear and repeat

344

these transcendental absolute truths that you can

345

you don't need to hold back

346

you can you can offer this up to others

347

and give them something really valuable

348

the ultimate in value

349

which is the truth

350

which will set you free so whether your knees hurt

351

or you're out for talk photographing nature

352

you can do these lovely sound vibrations like go Ra

353

anga

354

you can do it at home

355

you can do it while you're walking outside

356

and you're holding hands

357

or by yourself with your kids or with your dog

358

they will get the benefit

359

just like that little dog this morning

360

we were getting a we're getting a hot beverage in the

361

in a muffin this morning at the local pub

362

and then this little dog came over

363

it was the pub dog and every time that he came over

364

he kept saying Haribo

365

Haribo

366

Krishna Haribo

367

he kept you know the ears go up

368

yes wherever there's life there's a person

369

and that person is just as hungry for mercy as you are

370

as I am

371

we're all in need of the shelter and mercy

372

and it's a long journey home

373

but yeah so we're saying hi
