Introduction
The Mohanji 2026 birthday message is a heartfelt reflection delivered in Ganeshpuri, centred on unity, conscious living, and inner transformation. In this powerful sharing, Mohanji speaks about coming empty to sacred spaces, reducing expectations, and transforming humankind into kind humans.
Gratitude for Your Presence in Ganeshpuri
Thank you all for taking the trouble to reach here despite all the limitations here. You know, why we decided to conduct the program in Ganeshpuri, even though there are no facilities here, everything is basic, bare bones. But your presence here will automatically make this place change. By the time you come next year, there’ll be positive differences.
And also, unless we stretch ourselves a little bit, we don’t grow. It would be very easy to take a hotel room or a hotel hall and conduct the same thing. But this place will remain like this.
On Birthdays and Connection
Now I decided that my birthdays, actually, honestly speaking, don’t matter to me. I always look at days I’m in my body, not years in my when I’m when I’m in my that’s what I tell people.
We are here for about thirty thousand days. But I don’t consider birthdays as something supremely important. Even though that’s an occasion for connecting. So I look at it this way. It’s an occasion for us to unite and connect.
That way, it has some value. But what actually happens, the energy exchange that happens without us actually doing anything or means consciously not doing anything, that energy exchange is vital. Very important. Because now I am in the body, you are in the body, we are existing in the same time. So this connection goes to a different level when we meet.
We don’t have to speak. We don’t have to interact. But the meeting makes some changes in us. We may know. We may not know.
Nobody Meets by Accident
But all said and done, like I was telling Tanuja just now, that nobody meets by accident. Nobody. And nobody will take a flight and come here by accident. Not only here, anywhere. You came here by accident.
We have had connections, and that connection has brought us all together. Whichever level, it doesn’t matter. Don’t analyse because you won’t understand. It’s a waste of time to analyse. But that connection has brought you here.
Don’t even worry about what the reason is. You are here. This is reality. And that reality has value.
From Humankind to Kind Humans
Now, what would I like to do in the world?
Simply put, from humankind to kind humans. I would like to give stability to the world as much as I can in my own way, which I do. And all the processes, all the things which I have created have to add value to the world, which I’m doing, which I do.
So when you get up from a bed, from where you’re sleeping, if you ask yourself, is there something else I can do for the world? I’m very happy.
A Life That Harms None
Now, when you decide, ‘Because of me, nobody will be hurt in life, no animals, birds or people will be hurt in life,’ I’m very happy. Because that’s pretty much what my teaching is about. A life which is clean, purpose-oriented and connected to consciousness. This is something that you can easily practice. And when your lifestyle does not harm or hurt the earth, you have done a good job.
Very well done. Life is good. So, if my existence creates that effect in the world, my job is done. Now, when you create that effect in the world further, your job is done. And when your presence brings light and life to the people around you, your life is made.
You have a great, great life.
Expectations and Inner Freedom
When your expectations are zero or minimal, you are powerful. When your expectations are higher, you are a slave to the expectations. You are a slave to your mind. Why I am saying this now is because I don’t really seriously love my birthdays.
I don’t really enjoy your fancy cake-cutting, wishing, replying all tomorrow, there’ll be thousands of messages, I know. But I’ll reply. It will take me a week to reply, but I will.
But the thing is, that’s not what makes me happy. When your presence makes the world around you happy, that makes me happy.
Share and Grow
You see the cows here, all the animals and all the birds everywhere, all our ashram. When they are all happy and contented, it makes me happy. That’s how we should live.
Share and grow. Share and grow.
Come Empty, Leave Full
Likewise, when you give your garbage from the cities to the ashram, to the sacred spaces, I’m not happy. You know, your emotions, you’re feeling why this person is not doing that, that person, Infight, witching, these kinds of things, you put it in the marketplace and come back here empty so you can fill yourself up. That’s exactly what I told you about the Kailash trip.
You go to Shiva empty so that you can carry Shiva with you wherever you go. If you go there with all your garbage and then, when Shiva squeezes it, don’t complain. Life will not be the same. So when you come to our sacred spaces here in various countries, come empty, come clean. Then whatever you get, you consume.
And that’s how it is. So I want to tell unequivocally that keep your garbage in marketplaces, don’t bring it here and shine bright when you are here. When you shine bright, the world will be a better place. No. Your emotions, your hangover, your burdens and all sorts of stuff, depressions and stuff will not make the world a better place. The world will not be happy because of that.
Be There for Each Other
So let us use this time since you all come here. You are my captive audience now. You have no choice. So let us decide when you go from here, in your life and the place around you, you will bring brightness.
And please remember, my community is not only the Indian community, but it’s all communities. So many types of people, so many places, so many, but we are all one family. I see no difference at all in anybody. All are equivalent, all are connected to me and will always be connected to me. I will have no discrimination.
Till now, I have not discriminated, nor will I discriminate in the future. So you don’t worry about hierarchies. Worry about somebody being better than the other. Instead, stay connected with each other. Like I was telling the Iranian people, there are a lot of problems going on there.
I said, you be there for each other. I say the same thing to you. Be there for each other in your capacity. How much can you do as per your capacity? Be there for each other, that will make me happy.
And that shows your integrity.
Thank you.
