Deva means divine and Bharat is the real name of India. It means divine India -- and I give you this name because you have been in India in your previous life.
India is not this country's real name; it is a given name -- the real name is Bharat. The name comes from a very great emperor who renounced his kingdom and became a sannyasin.
... It is almost prehistoric, so no history exists. Must be near about ten thousand years ago. But the very name of the country belonged to a sannyasin. That has been the basic core of India's heart. It has never respected emperors, it has respected sannyasins. It has never respected rich people, it has never respected kings; it has respected persons, spirits, spirituality;
India is a name given by other people. When the Persians came to Bharat, they could not pronounce the letter 's'. When they came across the great river Sindhu, they called it 'Hindu'. In Persian there is nothing equivalent to 's'. So when they say Sindhu, they call it Hindu.
When the name went from Persia, they called the whole country Hindhu. When it went to the Greeks, they could not pronounce 'h'; they called it Indu. From there it became Ind and then India. It has travelled that way, but to the country itself it was not a name.
So remember: Bharatam.
And this country is really the most divine in a way because it has been longest in the search for the divine.

Mm, very good. That is the centre of the body where energy accumulates. It is the very dynamo of the body. When energy starts moving to other centres, you will feel a little disturbance inside the body, because new adjustments are needed.
Energy has started moving, so just do one thing: whenever
