Śrī Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Devadhī Dev, Deveśwar Mahādev Kī, Alakpurī Jī Mahādev Kī, Satguru Swāmī Madhavānjī Bhagavān Kī satsaṅg daṇḍavat. Today, I thought we would have a yoga exercise, and I will try to bring us to practice. We know about yoga practice: āsanas, prāṇāyāmas, meditation, and concentration, etc. Our "Yoga in Daily Life" is all around the world. Many people are practicing this discipline. First, we can speak of Patañjali, about four thousand or three hundred thousand years ago. But before Patañjali there were also great saints. Patañjali was giving the training for a yogī to become a yogī. Otherwise, every saint received one exercise or something from their master, and they would follow only that one. Like the Ardha-Matsyendrāsana. When we call it Ardha-Matsyendrāsana, what was it? He was always in that posture, and that is making tapasyā all the time. So, Ardha-Matsyendrāsana, which is like... you see, all of you are very expert, very good, and that's very good. That was a kind of training. It is not that we are twisting our bodies, but that the practitioner should not sleep. He should not become too comfortable, and also be concentrating. It is torturing our back muscles, we are halting one of our feet, and we are looking to the left side, for example. Let's say, in that, your chin is touching the shoulder from the left hand. The posture we are doing, which is in our "Yoga in Daily Life" book, has certain aspects. In this, it is said that it is mostly for the Mūlādhāra, Svādhiṣṭhāna, and the Maṇipūra. These are the three chakras, and these three chakras are more active. Through this, from there we come to our Anāhata, which is our chakra near the chest, and then to the vocal cords. In yoga, practicing in daily life is not for competition. In yoga, there is no competition. Now you can look to me, release your posture, Ardha Matsyendrāsana, and sit straight. Now, neither competition nor some things which we call to have. The highest thinking of a real yogī, a real yogī, will always be back behind. It means, though he is a great yogī, he will say, "Yes, my friend, or my child, you are great. Very good. Do your exercise. Very good." That is it. That is how the master should not torture the disciple. So competition, and any kind of saying that I am best and I am not best... So, Urdhva-Matsyendrāsana is very, very good for our kidneys, our liver, our intestines, and also our heart, because it is stretching our... chest, and there is that again. The breath is coming in and out. So now, please have the direction or the machine dress. Now, there is a very important point: if your knee is not good, don't do it. If anything is discomfort, then leave it. It must not be, because with this we will not get liberation. So this is one posture. It is a very, very good posture. It is peace, harmony, and feel yourself. That's very important. After this, you come again back in the middle, and this is a very good posture, very, very good. And there, after this, we are doing what is called the Vīrāsana. Who is the Vīra? Vīra means the hero, and the guard. This is the guard. Therefore, if you are on guard, if you are what we call a guard who is watching your body, your sight, like a guard on the door, so that you cannot sleep. You are looking all the time for your guard, that you are guarding. That is very, very important. And so we are coming to this position, very good, and looking at your one point. Not looking left and right here, but at the same time, the eyelids are moving left and right. And they have their arrow and the arch in the shoulder. That's very important. That was for the yogīs and for many things, because there were the world's many animals. There were tigers, there were many, many things. Now, where are the tigers? Where are these? Now, all they died and they became humans. And this human now becomes, because the behavior is like that, so feel, and then, of course, you have to change your position. So, this is called Vīrāsana. You are the Vīra. Vīra means the warrior, the great hero, that's what it's called. And look up straight. Your back is not like a camel. Exam, straight. One hand is here, and the other hand is there. Why is this posture also against the enemies? In this position, it means immediately you can stand up and run. That's it. It is that. So, if still my Gurujī will say, "Please go and bring the water," okay, I will. Till there the game is gone, no? So straight, that's it. And therefore, Dhanurāsana. And then we stand up from this position and come up in a yoga and a life. What is that? Dhanurāsana. Now, Dhanurāsana. Just take your right hand or left hand. What will you see? You will see the left hand holding straight, and it is the right one that will be stretching. There is a power, and so on. And our thumb is not like that up, not like this down. It is just your eyes on the... The arch is there, and you are stretching the arch. Now, be like Arjuna in the Mahābhārata. Look how your chest is. That's it. You have to be your chest, not a little. Slowly, okay? I will do something. No. Stretch. And slowly bring it back. Say, no, I will not shoot. And again, I practice. Inhale. Inhale. And hold the breath, and slowly exhale. That's very heroic, like Avatthapurī, you know. My God, today you have the chance to see how Avatthapurī is doing. Now, change to the other side, exactly. Now you have your arrow, and you have your arch, and now you have this... sorry, and that. Look, what is... you are the good arrow man or not? Good. If you will shoot it, and if you are not doing properly, it will go on your elbow, and two months you will have... Oh, my head. Therefore, when the string is coming, it should go, "Don't shoot here." Therefore, it goes similarly. That's called our vidyā, our knowledge. We want to toe with this yoga as it is. No computation, no anything. One relaxes and hands down, perfect. But your Vajra Nāḍī is not strong. Vajra Nāḍī, you know, all my dear, many you know, Vajra Nāḍī is more important than Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā. Yes, the Vajra Nāḍī, that is a strong root in the earth, and nābhi is there, so the upper part can be chatted up, but that is again, power comes again, so stretch. Hands together, legs together, but between your both feet is about that much distance, like that. See what is the distance? Like this, yes. And now you sit on the toes, yes, and knees on the ground, yes, and hands on the thighs or knees. Back straight, and your eyes are. They're straight there, not there, not there like this. That's called hero, yes. And you know, when some great people or the ministers or the prime ministers and others, they have their guard, black eyes, but looking completely on the straight. The minister, but they are looking left and right at everything, if there is anything. They are not looking like this; they're looking not like this. Looking this is wrong. Always straight looking, but everything is going there. Looking there, you think, but vision is there. Similarly, straight, straight, straight. And now, knees up a little bit. And now, take your arch straight. Yes. If you are not a hero, then your thighs are trembling. And if you are a hero, strengthen your knees. That's it. I will see who is now. Oh, one, two. There. That. And hands down on the thighs or the knees. Other side. Can you? Will you? That's it. And maybe you need one knee on the ground. Yes, one knee is grounded. Again, because you need more power. Straight, and now stand up like this. Okay? And shoot the arrow where? In Brahmaloka, Ādi Oṁ, finished. Come on, sit down, sit down. All the prāṇas, all the energies, everything that is with us, we put it there. Now, sit in the Vajrāsana, no, sorry, the Yogāsana posture, any which you are comfortable with, lotus posture or Ānandāsana, Sukhāsana, all āsanas, very good. And now, touch your chin, your chin towards the chest. Shoulders straight, hands, elbows straight, a little bend forward. Deep inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. Go ahead, deep inhale and exhale Ujjāyī Prāṇāyāma. Inhale, elbows straight, and exhale. Inhale, and exhale. Inhale and exhale. Relax your elbows and shoulders, and stretch your neck. Relax, look forward, and in this position, inhale a deep inhalation and exhale through the mouth. After this, normal breath. Sit straight, relax your stomach, and mild bāstrīkā, very slowly, bāstrīkā. Your elbows should be relaxed, but your chest should be stretched, and your shoulders relaxed. You should be sitting very straight, otherwise it can be not good for your spine or something with the abdomen part of the body. Straight and equal inhalation and exhalation, this is called what? It is called Vastrika, equal. 25 times, go ahead. After this 25, relax your elbows, your shoulders, and lie down on the Ānandāsana, head to my side. Ānandāsana, ānanda means divine bliss, happiness. Relax, not Śavāsana. Śavāsana, it is a dead body, and we are not a dead body. We are living, we are yogīs. We can even swim over the water, we cannot go down. That means we are a yogī, ānandāsana, okay, not śivāsana, relax, ānandāsana. Ānandam brahmānandam ānando’ham ānando’ham ānandam brahmānandam. Feel thyself as ānand. Ānand, ānand, ānand. After this will be bāḍīkhātū prāṇāyām. So, who is there here? Will be in the front. Come. Yes. Khāṭu Prāṇāyām. Sit up. And one of you come in the front. This Baddhī Khaṭu Prāṇāyām, this exercise, it is one of the best for the whole body, from the toes to the top of the head and from the top of the head till the toes. Number one, second, it is a spiritual development, so physical body, healthy body, peace and harmony, and spiritualities, and it's beautiful. This is called Bāḍī Khāṭū Prāṇāyām. In the whole world, there is, in Google, you can see the Bāḍī Khāṭū Prāṇāyām. And thousands of people were in China. They took it, they liked it very much. The thousands were doing what we call the Baḍī Khāṭū Pāranām. So you will follow our demonstrator and then go there, okay? So, and who will count Avatapurījī? You will, okay? One, two, three, four. Premanājī, can you bring me this here? Please, something, can you take that place, 26 and 27? One, concentration of the whole body. Stretch your arms. Keep your head between your arms and look up. Stretch your side muscles, and second goal, relax your elbows, your wrists, your fingers, your back, everything. And slowly, number three, four, five. Next number, Ānandoham, Ānandoham, Ānandam, Brahmānandam. Your wish number. Om Satchidānanda Om Satchidānanda...

Make yourself more comfortable, as you like. You can sit in Vajrāsana or other postures. All my dears, all yoga practitioners, all the world nowadays, everyone is worried, and such things are not in dualism. It's good for the, what we call, the worries. Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, Judaists, Hindus, yogīs, and non-religious, etc., all are bounded with. One, what fear? Fear what will happen? How will it happen? And this is, everyone is in such a feeling. It's not good, but it is said, "What will happen, it will happen, and what will not happen, will not happen." Only that we should become alert. Be... Be aware, be humble, and go to the purification. The purification of the body, purification of our house, purification of our bed, our kitchen, our toilets, our bathrooms—everything we shall keep very clean, very pure. After that, purify. Your fear, we know everyone is afraid, but what happened, it will happen, so don't be worried. And it is definitely God takes care for all, and God is also taking care for the humans. We are humans. We have lots and lots of knowledge. We are all trying to do something good. Definitely, forget the fighting about religion and the countries, and what we call the ministries, and this. We shall come as a human. We are the human, and we are doing something good for our humans. Economy, of course. Now we know what means the money. We know how it was. Otherwise, people who are children, you give them $20, $100, money goes there, money goes there, everything. And what are they doing? Taking ice cream or something, junk food. Food, therefore, we shall come back to the sattvic nourishment. But then, sattvic thinking in the mind, we should have very pure and pure thoughts towards everyone. That's very important. And many people die from the fear, "And what will my house do?" I have this, I have this. Don't worry, one day sooner or later we will go. But why are you afraid? You have further, more beautiful things in the Upaniṣad, and that in the Upaniṣad is so beautiful, the Upaniṣad. And I will, I will bring you that Upaniṣad. And I will talk, speak something about that. So when one dies or the body goes, then how the soul is going, where it is going? And it's very beautiful. So in India, where anyone dies in the house, then one Brahmin, a good, learned person, comes and reads this one book, and he tells where, what, how it is happening, how you will go. And so, even our family members and all who are still alive, they get peace, and they are happy that while reading this, my ancestors are going to God. So they are there, they have everything, and it will be more beautiful. This is that. So what happens? It's happening, definitely will happen. But we can do with less fear. In our country, in India, our Prime Minister, Modijī, he really gives such knowledge. He's like a great ṛṣi. And he said, for just one day, from early morning till evening, 24 hours, and you will see how much peace and harmony there will be. And look, open your door, and outside, see how much purification is there, only for one day. And if we make a Mauna, I know the Mauna is something. And you know that I am in Western countries now about 50 to 100 years. I was in Western countries, I did all, I've been everything, but not one thing. People cannot make mauna. We made many, many, many times seminars and this and that. For half an hour, it was okay, or as long as giving a lecture, one hour, no mauna. But there are about 500 people or 1,000 people there, or 800 or 500. And they're just talking by each other, so in that case, there are two things: they cannot keep the mauna and the fasting. Okay, we will make a fasting, but everyone has in their chewing gum. Chewing gum is one of the best. Worse, it can cause some cancer and this and there and that, and many, many things. And that is another thing: we don't have any discipline. In the morning, we get up, we have water or milk or some tea and breakfast. In India, we call... Alfahar, alfahar means so little, little... breakfast. And in Europe, it's the other side: breakfast like a king. And lunch is like a farmer, and dinner is like a beggar. It's the opposite, but it's okay as they like. But even now, they do nothing. All the time, it's called a goat. That goat is, that's a beautiful story of the goat. Do you know what I tell you? Yes. There was a king. All the stories are about a king. You know why? Everyone wants to become a king. So one king, and the king said, "If anyone can bring me a goat which can completely die, be eaten, and will take a time, it will not eat anything." I will give you that much money, or I don't know, land, that much land, or this and that. Many people brought their goats to feed, and they brought them there. And here, beside them, some nice grass, green grass, bush. And the goat was completely filled. And they come, separate, and he said, "His Highness, my goat is completely filled. She is very filled. She is very full of the stomach, okay? Bring." And he brings the goat, and the goat, what is she going from the king? This grass, what a nice grass. Okay, take your goat away. One day, one man came, and he was feeding and feeding this, so it was like a drum. And now she's coming and said, "My, this he will not touch anything, okay?" And he put a grass there, and the goat began to say, "Okay, take your goat, go, hurry home." So, like, these are the people, my God. So many goats, my, you know, oh God. If you can be morning this time, your breakfast after five hours, your lunch, and then after that, between, maybe water. But now, time we cannot. Some farmers, they are very good, they... Have respect, and that's why they are very healthy and very good. So a yogī should also, and don't fast too much. Better a little, but eat. They will be healthy. And when you said only once a day, then it's not good. Those people, they are not healthy. They will... Be not healthy, little eat, good always. It should be a little empty stomach, so food, this for the yogīs is very important: what and how to eat, and how we should eat, and what we should eat. So these two things, that the which call one day completely only water, but even here, who... Is sitting beside me here in our hall, maybe one and a half person? Well, it's a no eating, no, that thing I will not touch. The rest will be carrots inside, otherwise something, something like this, yes, because this is a, this... Is a mouth, you know, inside is gone, is gone here. So our tongue, our taste, everything, what we have a taste is only in the stomach. After, there's no taste, and we don't know what will now happen. But intense time in the body makes everything. Things, this and this and that. We shall give rest. Then our digestion will be very, very good. So yoga is that, "Atha yoga anuśāsanam." If you want to become a yogī, then we have a discipline, and so, "atha yoga anuśāsanam." And then, again, further, yoga, yoga, atha, yoga. What is chitta? What is the chitta? What is the chitta? Chitta control, it is scream this, that cream, scream this, that cream, that. So that we have to keep balance in this. At this point is then, that's why the Ṛṣi said, "First, this part, already the samādhi part." So I wish you all the best, all my bhaktas around the world, please. But of course, I tell you all, you are many, many who are listening. You are from other yoga schools, you can practice. I am happy that you have a yoga school, your guru you have, so that we follow them is okay, or yoga in their life is okay. But practice, practice according to your master, not your so-called union. Then, it's again a problem. Maybe you have one guru; he's a yogī for you also, and there are ten persons only. Okay. They are great. They are great. And don't say that, no, these four, you come to us. No, no, no. And now they are saying, "We want to unite all into one." We cannot. Not. Why? In your house is your discipline. Your neighbors have their disciplines, others theirs, but we are all together. So similarly, someone said, "I am the master, I am the great." And that's why yoga is lost due to this. But in the Western countries, there are many, many yogīs there, and little one, I am also there, a little yogī, maybe, but there is Sivananda, that also, but now many Sivananda, there is another more, many, many, and they have great. Masters and very good knowledge, good teachings, but no, we want to have "all is mine" and that "all is yours." That is the problem now. So we have to have one village, and one village means our one village, but in our one village, we all... Have a different thinking, different eating, different feelings. Everything in one house, second house, one street, that city or village, we are living like that. And now we call the village, no, you all must be like this. My God, what will happen like this? And so, some people are thinking that I want to have all. It's not so good. In one village, there is some good person, a very good one. Everyone will come to the person. Everyone will respect that person. Okay, but not to say no to this. Therefore, unfortunately, many thoughts of many people, yoga, they are destroying. But the Western countries have learned yoga very, very much from many, many good masters. And they are very happy. They are so happy. And they are coming to India. They are going to different gurus. Why not? There is such an environment there. But then he said, "No, you come there, you come there." Then it's like a politic, and that politic doesn't last ever. Politics, but the bhakti, forever. And we have the bhakti. That's it; it is said. The minister will come, and the minister will go. But Mahārāj, Bābājī, it doesn't matter what, his whole life he will be in his dharma. It is which guru paramparā they will say, and that's why we call Mahārāja, that's it. So you are all yogīs, but don't jump here and don't jump there. One is going here, one is going there. Therefore, we should concentrate, and in our āśram, you are all living. And we know that little bit, some kind of environment, we should not go out, we should not sit together, because always when you are together, maybe in the air, what? We don't know, something it is moving in the air. Not only from person, and therefore we should be nice in our ashram, in our rooms and all. And anybody comes from far, we should say like this, "Now all trying to burn off, praṇām in Vienna, wherever my bhaktas are, Hari Om Swāmījī, Hari Om Swāmījī." Right before they said, "Okay, Hari Om, Swamiji," Guruskot hai, taki prasīm this. But now, everybody, and in many aeroplanes, they are always in aeroplanes, they are greeting like this always. The Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong, all this, they greet like this when you come in aeroplane. And in India, also, it was in India, Air India, but now not. But they have beautiful sarees, and they wear them like this. That tradition has gone. Perhaps I must tell Modiji now. I will tell Modiji that he should bring back this tradition. It will be. Why not? Yes, everyone. When you go to Austria, you cannot tell this; you should not do like this. They say, "Guru scott, no pitta guru scott." But you know what means a guru scott? I greet to God. You see how it is, and you know, and also the krivesha, no, the krivesha. And they said nicely, and you know, kvala, the kvala. Is in Australia on the tree, koala, that's it. And also the Croatian, they greet God. Yes? So, I wish you all the best. My dear friends and all the many persons who are around the world, thank you. And we will see again another program. Maybe one very nice meditation, or who knows what comes. I don't know why I don't sit down and ask Agni Devī, "We write, please, now this word and that word and this word, and then we write down, and then I will say, 'Yes, Premānājī, yes, it was very good, thank you, oh yes, aha, you said yoga.'" Okay, so I am not like this, and you are also not like this. You are great, and we are all good. And you have to look today, my God, what is happening? Look, good books. Hari Om, Hari Om.
