The significance of Ganesh Dwara (Gate of Ganesh) in Kundalini awakening was also discussed. According to the Guru, Kundalini awakening begins with the opening of Ganesh Dwara, followed by other spiritual gates. He explained that unless Ganesh Dwara is open, one cannot embark on the journey of Kundalini awakening.

The Guru reiterated that the bond with the divine realm does not restrict individuals but instead liberates them from worldly attachments. He emphasized the importance of a good lineage and the guidance of a Guru in attaining spiritual liberation.

The three-day event concluded with the initiation of thousands of devotees into Tantra and Mantra practices, marking the beginning of their spiritual journey towards enlightenment. Through this program, the Guru not only provided spiritual guidance but also shed light on various spiritual truths, enriching the lives of his disciples.

The Purpose of Human Life:

Completing oneself is the goal of human life. Guruji said that mantra is a means to reach tantra. This is only possible when you have a body-like machine. The goal of understanding oneself or understanding oneself is made, they also need to understand that the conversation does not end here but starts where the talk of Lord Buddha begins. Understanding and explaining to people is the journey path and goal. Only when you fully understand something can you explain it to others, give information, that's perfection. Perfection is being able to understand and explain to others, that's perfection, like Lord Buddha. When Lord Buddha attained enlightenment, in simple language, when he regained consciousness, Lord Buddha said that if I start telling or telling someone what I have understood or experienced, it will be rebellion because people have not seen or heard it, meaning they have not experienced it, and something else is written in the books. After that, the gods told Lord Buddha to give knowledge to those who are standing at the last corner, who will cross the ocean of existence with a little help from you. But Lord Buddha said, "I will keep my knowledge in the same form as I received it." As a result, people of the country forced him to leave the country.

An Amazing Story from Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Life:

Here is an interesting story from Guru Nanak Ji's life that Guruji shared. Once Guru Nanak Ji stayed in a village and was well taken care of, but when he left in the morning, he said, "You all scatter." His devotees were surprised. Then he went to another village where he was disrespected, and there he said, "You stay here." His disciples asked, "Why, Guruji?" Guru Nanak Ji said, "Because these are people of wicked nature and they will spread filth, while good people will spread goodness in the country. Good people will show the right path to others, they will tell how to live." Similarly, Lord Buddha traveled to many countries and today he is worshipped as a god. Just like Lord Ram is worshipped in our country, in many countries Lord Buddha is worshipped.

A Simple Way to Understand the Order of Nature:

Similarly, some people might say how can it be possible for Karauli Shankar Mahadev Dham, a place they have never been to or understood? This is a ready answer for them. When we tell foreigners about it, they ask how it happens, they want to know. Guruji says that those who are already filled with garbage, there is no place for diamonds and gems inside them. Foreigners are curious about the empty vessel, they understand. Similarly, addressing tantric disciples, Guruji says that tantra is the simplest way because tantra initiation means accepting simplicity and simplicity.
