Swāmījī asked, "How are you? Good. Oh my God, what is going on?" He inquired, "Is something wrong?" She replied, "Yes." She couldn't contain herself. "Swāmījī, you are very greedy. Last night, you brought prasāda and you didn’t give even one piece to my little son. You were counting each piece and putting it in your bag so that I don’t steal." Swāmījī said, "Oh God, I think I was making a mālā on the bed." He then said, "Sit down." He took his mālā, sat down, and began chanting a mantra, producing a sound. She observed, "It’s the same sound like your prasāda." He confirmed, "Yes, this is a divine prasāda." She said, "I’m sorry for my negative thinking. It is our thinking which disturbs us and disturbs others." Never think like that. Accept. I told you yesterday: accept. There is no other way. If you don’t accept now, after death, you have to accept. We don’t accept that we will die. It doesn’t matter what God does. Now it’s my life. I don’t accept that I will die. Destiny says, "Wait slowly. I will show you. You have to go through." Who can accept? To accept means to free yourself from the prison, that inner prison which presents you, and you are full of fear, full of anger, and you explode like a bomb. No one is guilty for that, only you, and you, and only you. That shows our Viśuddhi Chakra. It holds your throat like this and blocks you. If you release your tension, if you release your ego, if you release your greediness, your Viśuddhi Chakra will begin to function in a proper way, and you will have no hormonal problems. Now, here I want to tell you one thing. Many females or women, it is a message. When the first tooth begins to move, then it is a message. When the first time knees begin to hurt and the back, it’s already a message coming from the Supreme Court. Still, you don’t believe. Then it will be taken away. So, it’s high time to begin spiritual thinking. Guru Nānak Sāhib says: O my mind. O my self, till now your life is gone without the name of God. But at least now begin. It’s never late to begin. Every step will be counted. Every breath will be counted. Every thought will be counted, so let’s have good thoughts. Gandhījī said, "We don’t hate the sinner. We hate the sin, but not the sinner." And therefore, who are you to make someone guilty? If then, it’s myself guilty. Guru Nanak says, "I went to search for the bad things, the bad people, but I didn’t find them anywhere. But when I searched within me, I found it. First, I am the bad one, and then others." So when you think negative, first you are thinking negative. You are poisoning yourself first, and then you are projecting outside, "Oh, it’s negative." So develop other feelings, other eyes. Out of 72,000 nāḍīs, there are a few nāḍīs which are very important. For example, the Vajranāḍī. Vajranāḍī influences our thyroid gland. Vajranāḍī influences our solar plexus. So when you sit in Vajrāsana, you will see that there is a very positive effect on your entire digestive system. And you will feel the relaxation in your throat. If you can’t breathe or you have asthma, you feel discomfort or you feel sad, sit in Vajrāsana immediately. The system will be released, the thoughts will become more clear, and that’s one of the reasons, I think, when in Islam they sit for prayer in Vajrāsana. Because it gives concentration. It influences the entire chakra and nāḍī systems. Similarly, Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā. These three channels have a great meaning for us. And between these, Suṣumnā is the center. That is governing the entire nāḍī maṇḍal, the nerve system. And so when the first chakra is created and put into function, then that is our Viśuddhi chakra. Viśuddhi chakra is here. Whatever you take in, mentally or physically, it influences. And here you will see what is called the moon. That half moon, where again the Śiva consciousness, the nectar, the Christian moon, new moon, and Brahmā, the creator. And his chariot, his coach, is the white elephant. Now, these five chakras, which are human chakras from Mūlādhāra to Viśuddhi, are mixed with animal qualities, dominating human qualities, but still there is a touch of the animal qualities. But in this chakra, such animals are shown which have a great meaning. Now, the elephant is not because it’s a very big animal. It’s not because it is one of the most ancient animals, but because of its quality. In Indian mythology, the elephant means prosperity. Elephant means strength. In Europe, in European culture, you say horsepower. But in Indian mythology, it’s elephant power. And that’s why Rāvaṇa had ten heads, which were compared to ten elephants. So the elephant power is more than the horsepower. So the mighty is that elephant, so the energy, now energy means protection, and that’s why God Gaṇeśa is known as the Lord of protection, Lord of the remover of all negative energy. Only he can do it, and that’s why, symbolically, he has the elephant head. And that means the protection. Vigneshvara means the Lord who destroys all obstacles. Vigna means obstacles, and Īśvara means the God, that Lord which removes the obstacles, and therefore it is scientific that if you remember Gaṇeśa, all obstacles will be removed. Especially when you make something new, begin a new thing. When you marry, first you have to do the Gaṇeśa Pūjā. I don’t know because I didn’t marry. But, Taner Razi was married; he can tell. For Gaṇeśa pūjā, did you have done Gaṇeśa pūjā? You see? And when you build a house, first foundation, earth-breaking ceremony, we call Śrī Gaṇeśa, Śrī Gaṇeśa Ayanamaha. And first pūjā, first prayer, ceremony is for Gaṇeśa. And when you enter into the house, for living in the house, first, you bring the Gaṇeśa inside. And we place the Gaṇeśa on the front of the door. When you open the door, you see Gaṇeśa. Because that blocks the negative energy. But according to the Vāstu Śāstra, your house door should not be to the south. South is called empty. Everything, whatever you bring into your house, it will go away. North is the best. But what to do if there is no possibility? You cannot open the door in your neighbor’s house. So there must be some solution. Yes. Put Gaṇeśa. Finished. Everything is okay. Or put in front of your house, towards the south, a rock that’s also a symbol of Gaṇeśa. So Gaṇeśa, every time, everywhere, first is he. And if you don’t remember him first, then things may go wrong. And since people gave up to believe in Gaṇeśa, a lot of divorce is taking place. So many marriages break. Those who marry, they do not marry to get divorced. They marry to be happy and have a happy family. Live healthy, in harmony. But disturbances come. Misunderstanding comes, and you get divorced. No one is doing divorce out of happiness, except some mental cases. Why does it happen? There must be some energy which disturbs us, and therefore, Gaṇeśa. And that’s Lord Gaṇeśa, symbolizing the elephant. Everything from an elephant is very precious. Everything. And that’s why the elephant is a symbol of prosperity and richness, you know. If you have thousands of elephants, you are a rich one. But now, where to keep the thousand elephants? Even one elephant is not possible to keep. An elephant is very loyal. And they are very correct. The master of the elephant, Mavut, if he gives every day five kilos of laddu to the elephant, and one day he gives only three kilos, and the second day also three, the elephant will show him, "Where are my two kilos?" The mouse will have a hard life. They are very, very correct to the elephant. And therefore, elephant. Now, white. In Mulādhāra was a black elephant with seven trunks. Which symbolizes seven minerals, which are for our health. But here is only white elephant, and that’s called Airāvata. His name is Aravat. And God Krishna said in Bhagavad Gita, "In elephants, I am the Aravat." Among the great saints and siddhas, I am Kapila Muni. Siddhānāṁ Kapil Muni, Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa said in Gītā. There were many, many Siddhas. But one of the great Siddhas was the Kapila Muni. So, Viśuddhi Chakra is the chakra which is beautiful, which is the chakra of liberation, which can release the tension, which can purify the poison, which means to give good health. Many people have health problems. Let’s begin with the Viśuddhi to work. There is meditation for it. There is prāṇāyāma for it. And there is kriya for it, and there are asanas for it. And there is an energy. Make with your hands energy and put it here, like a hand, like this. And you will feel that when you go from the astral body. Out of the physical body, your astral body goes out of the physical body through Viśuddhi Chakra. When you dream at night, your astral body goes, and your dream consciousness begins from the Viśuddhi Chakra. And it’s thanks to Viśuddhi Chakra that you can come quickly back. Don’t be delayed to come from the dream back. You should be quickly coming back, that you are conscious, that you are aware. And there are some people who have a problem coming out of a dream, and you are suffering in the night. There is a fire, and you want to run, but you can’t run, and you are suffering. Or there is a train which is going, and now you are running to... Catch the train, but your legs are so heavy you can’t catch the train. So, like this, many things are there. This means the Viśuddhi cakra doesn’t function properly now, so we have to come to the Viśuddhi cakra to activate this energy cakra. So, Viśuddhi, which has sixteen petals, how many had Anāhata? I’ve forgotten. How many petals has Anāhata? Who doesn’t know? Hands up. Thank you. How many petals does the mūlādhāra have? Who doesn’t know? Hands up. And Svādhiṣṭhāna, how many? Six. Mūlādhāra, four. Aha, that is wonderful. Just look there. And Svādhiṣṭhāna and Maṇipūra. How much? Ten, which represents the ten prāṇas. Five prāṇa and five prāṇa and anāhat twelve and viśuddhi sixteen. It is said the sixteen kalā. Indian mythology and the Indian science of spirituality speak about sixteen kalā. Kāla, you may say siddhi. Kala, may you say abilities? And so, sixteen kalā pūrṇa puruṣa. The Purāṇa Puruṣa, the incarnation, the complete incarnation of God, has sixteen siddhis, kalās. Like Bhagavān Rāma, Kṛṣṇa, you read in the Līlā Amṛta, Mahāprabhujī had also twenty-four kalās. And a normal human can develop eight kalās, up to eight. And there is in Indian philosophy there are sixteen vidyā, solā vidyā. And these sixteen Vidyās are here in the Viśuddhi Cakra, developing from the Viśuddhi Cakra. And Sūrya Kālā that develops from the Viśuddhi Chakra, and Kālā means also in the moon. From the dark moon, from Amāvasyā till Pūrṇimā, and again the new moon. From Pūrṇimā till Amāvasyā and new moon, these are sixteen days. And that’s why there is a crescent moon, the half moon. And there is Brahmā and Sarasvatī, the creators, the nectar in this chakra. So, Viśuddhi cakra, and now we will do some practice for Viśuddhi cakra. Let’s see how it functions. Should we do it? The bīja mantra of the Viśuddhi Chakra is ham. Bīja mantra of the Viśuddhi Chakra is haṃ. Ham, ham. Ham, ham means eating. Ham, ham. Ham, ham means eating. But ham means "I." But ham means "I." Abha, hama, abha, sa, sa, ma. So, Jīva needs to turn to Śiva, from man to God. Brahmā is the creator, he creates everything, but it is Jīva, Viṣṇu, which is maintaining, protecting, but it is Śiva who is liberating. So the Viṣṇu Śakti has to merge into the Śiva Śakti. And therefore the Śiva consciousness is the highest consciousness. Śivo’ham, śivo’ham, ham, what is ham? What is ham? I, ya, śivo’ham, śivo’ham,... śivo’ham. Chakra is connected to the consciousness of Śiva. Kundalini Shakti on the way from Mūlādhāra, and this Jīva now coming to the Viśuddhi and changing into the Śiva Svarūpa, changing to the Śiva consciousness. Then the knowledge, pūrṇa jñāna, complete knowledge, awakens when it reaches the Ājñā chakra. Like a butterfly comes out of its house, out of that capsule, and it begins to expand and unfold the wings. Can you imagine what it is, a feeling when you can expand your limbs? When you are sitting in the airplane, in a narrow chair, you can’t stretch your legs properly. You can’t expand like this because of the neighbors. You are sitting like this, eating your breakfast like this. After a few hours, you have the feeling to expand. Similarly, this jīva is closed in this māyā, in the saṃsāra. Limited movements, depending on the body, but when you can expand your consciousness into freedom, then it’s completely different feelings. And that, when you come to the Viśuddhi Cakra, it’s completely changed. Now, this is the last station, where you can go forward or fall down again. Fall down through all mistakes, through all negative thinking. Do not judge without knowing the reality someone told you. Someone wrote you. Did you see with your own eyes? Sometimes, even when you see with your own eyes, still you are wrong. You see the difference because you want to see what you want to see. You don’t want to see differently. That’s why Gandhījī said, "Be the change you want to see." And so it is that Viśuddhi Chakra will change your complete emotional level. And you, like one who was closed in the bag, and you were shouting, Prana, prāṇa, please let me breathe. I want to breathe, and you come out. People who had negative experiences in life. Who had to swallow bitter and sweet things. A person who herself created negative thinking. That one has problems with the thyroid. That one can, many times, not speak. And when some important situation comes, you can’t speak. You begin to sweat. You become scared. What do you do? Breathe deep in, and tell yourself, "Relax." This is a mahā mantra, a beautiful mantra. Tell yourself to relax. Don’t worry. Breathe deep in. Then, clarity will come, the Viśuddhi Chakra will open. It means from here, the energy goes towards the brain, and also energy goes towards the body. Sometimes when you don’t have pressure in the water, the energy goes towards the body. And you open your water tap, and you are standing under the shower, and coming one drop, two drops, and you have a full head of shampoo, and there is no pressure. Then there is no pressure. Then your pressure begins, and similarly when if the Viśuddhi Chakra is not open, then the psychic pressure is there, and when the psychic pressure is there, anxiety comes out. So, take a deep inhale and say to yourself, "Relax, don’t worry." There are many ways to relax. Pull up the head with the shampoo, no water, beautiful. You love shampoo. No one told you to take and put shampoo here. Now you put it here, let it be here. So, with a towel, clean your face, and take the bucket, go somewhere, get the water, and wash it. How simple. Or take a mineral water bottle—you have nowadays, everyone—and slowly, slowly clean it with mineral water. But try not to create mental pressure. Jis halme, jis chalme raho, Rām kaho, Rām kaho,... Rām. Jis halme, jis chalme, in which condition and in which situation you are, say the name of God. Whenever you are scared, pray. When you don’t see the way out, pray. That will give you the inner direction, the inner way, confidence. So, deep inhale, and swallow something. That’s it, or water. You know, many people are constantly chewing gum. Or candy. They are chewing all the time. Why? Because they feel release here in Viśuddhi Cakra. Many people who are constantly chewing either have a psychic problem, a thyroid problem, or have had negative life experiences, and that’s why they are doing this. There is no satisfaction, and many people who are chewing like this constantly, they did not get mother’s milk. The small child has a very big consciousness and takes everything. We think children don’t know, but they know very well many, many things. Some people have a habit, in the night, to go to the fridge, take something out, and eat. That’s called the psychic symptoms, to clean the refrigerator in the night. From a clean fridge, during the night and at night, or always nuts. All the time, taking something in the mouth. Missing mother love. You can’t imagine how important it is for a small child to feel the hands of a mother and father. And by nature, we all, when we see a small child, we would like to touch the child. No? It doesn’t matter if it’s your child or some other child. It doesn’t matter if it’s a human child or an animal. No matter if it is a human or an animal child, just rub it, oh beautiful child. What do you feel when you say, "Oh, beautiful child"? Where is your consciousness? Where is your feeling of the heart? And how does this love flow into you? And how much strong vibration flows from your heart to this baby. Nature says that the child needs this. And nature says, "Mother needs this, and father needs this." Then, when a woman gets a baby, or a mother gets a baby, then her 80% desire is fulfilled. Because her entire feelings are in this child. If the husband goes to the pub, he can go because his child is there. We are all lucky. We have our mother and father. Or our guardian, a guardian who takes care of us. In Zagreb, I spoke about the babysitter. But mostly, every babysitter is very kind to the babies. Only, there are certain individual cases. Because people who would like to be babysitters love babies. They love a lot of them. Love a lot of them. And it is because of mother love, father love, and the generation needs love. But it’s not that you don’t give love because your child needs love. You love the child because you need love. It gives more back than the child receives. And if you want to know what is love, if you want to know what pure love is, then make an experiment: see a small baby. Now, your love for that small baby is the purest love, like love for God. And therefore in India we say, make yourself comfortable. A few times, slowly, deep inhale and exhale. Deep inhale, and three times we will chant OṂ. Three times we will sing OM. Take a deep breath, let go of the whole body, relax, let go, let go, no tensions, physically or mentally, just relax. Feel the breath, natural, normal breath process. Do not change the breath process. I know that I am inhaling, and I know that I am exhaling. Do not run away with your thoughts. Inwardly relax. Say to yourself, "Relax, my friend." Relax. Just for the time being, relax. Bring your attention to the throat near the Viśuddhi Cakra and feel the touch of your breath, inhalation and exhalation. We will chant Aum again once, and Aum Shānti. While chanting Aum, guide your Aum sound from the navel to the anāhata. That sound colors in the devotion or love, ascending, kṛṣṇadhī, where it manifests into the endless and comes to the Ājñā Cakra, begins to illuminate and comes to the Bindu, where you feel the sweetness, the nectar, and in Sahasrāra, from there, one part of the sound is gone, going into the space. One enters into the heart, and the third penetrates to the whole body. This is a kriyā for the Oṁ sound. This sound is colored by the color of love. We feel the spreading in the Dovī Śuddhi. We feel the enlightenment in the Ājñā Chakra. We feel the sweetness of nectar in the Bindu Chakra through the Sahasrāra Chakra. From the Sahasra Cakra, one part of the sound goes into space. The other part of the sound goes into our Anāhata Chakra. And the third part of the sound, we feel how it vibrates in the whole body. Deep inhale. Arms. Face on the face, and open your eyes. There are some questions that will be answered in the evening. There are some DVDs. There is a lecture from Zagreb, and also from Divya Jyoti from the world tour, to support her multicultural center; otherwise, the multicultural center is going to be closed. God’s.
