Satguru Swāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān Kī Jai. Good morning, everybody. We are here from many countries, very many indeed. This morning is the day of Yoga in the whole universe. Yoga is from the cosmic to the earth. Yoga is, first and foremost, for humans: for good health, harmony, peace, understanding, and for God’s blessings upon us, that we may come to the cosmic Self. A few years ago, we know that our great Aśoka, Modījī, made this way for us to come to yoga for attaining health. Because he said yoga is a science for humans in every aspect. We are here today, and we know that we had this kind of point and other diseases, which affected people. First, of course, the people who got the shock are feeling unwell, but those who were practicing yoga daily—which we are doing around the whole world, from China, Mexico, America, Europe, all parts of the world—they are all practicing every day that kind of yoga in their life: āsanas, prāṇāyāmas, meditations, and, of course, the teaching about yoga. My dear ones, all, today we are again coming here together, and we are going to practice yoga this morning. Thank you very much. You know, the whole world is in the practice of yoga, and it is a great thing. Thank you. Yes, I can get it from Phoolpurījī and then Premalanjī. And you will all get up. Sudarśan, a little to this side, yes, a little this way, Sudarśan, a little to this side, okay. We begin to practice this morning, here. That’s good. Nowhere will it go; my ears are not helping. Okay, good. So, legs together, interlock your fingers. Bring the hands up, palms straight towards the ceiling, and now stretch your body up and onto the toes, standing on the toes. One, two. One, two.... Legs apart and stretching up, interlock your fingers and move to the left side, your left side, and come to the middle. Right side, middle. Left side, go ahead. This is called the Sarvahitāsana. The Sarvahitāsana; there are many, many postures. Middle, left. Raise your left side. Raise your left side. Middle. Right side. Middle. Hands down. Legs apart. Raise your hands up and cross the hands above the head, and down. One, two. One, two. Turn this leg to the left, you to the right. Legs together. Stretch hands up and down, not like this. All the hands, one, two, one, two... now. Turn to my side, legs apart. Stretch your hands, palms up. One, touch your shoulders and stretch again. Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale... Hands down, touch your shoulders, stretch your hands, one, two. Go slowly, slowly. No, I’m going one, two, one, two... Sarvahitāsana one, touch your palms. Two, Sarvahitāsana one, Yogānanda life. Two, one, two. Now, turn to each other and touch your shoulder, and we are rotating our elbows slowly. Don’t run. One, two, three, four, five, six. Go ahead. Seven, eight, nine, ten. Other direction, one, two. Go ahead, good. Stretch your hands in the front and turn in direction like this. Your palms, like you are pressing against a wall. Hands straight. So, and down like this. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Hands straight, elbows straight. Nine, ten. Hands down. Again, stretch your hands and close your fist, thumbs inside. Rotating from the whole palm and from the wrist. Elbows be straight, shoulders will be straight. Rotation, go ahead from one side, all same direction, slowly. And other side, one, two, go ahead. It’s not only the wrist, but till the elbows and the shoulders, all, and the shoulder blade, all is reacting. Sit straight, slowly, good. Hands down. We did this, and now, hand, legs apart, turn to my side. Legs apart, and now put your hands on the waist, hips. Right leg straight, and left bend, and go left. Your left, my right, not this side. Yes, but straight. Don’t go like this. Straight, look that side, bend. More your right leg, bend more your knee. Bring your knee down. Look at the other leg, yes. More down, more down, one more down. And look right, left side, my side, and your left side, that side. And come straight and look right. Similarly, we go now with the right leg, looking to that side, your right side, and bend your knee again. Very good, in the middle. Legs together, interlock your fingers behind your back or hold your wrist, and slowly bend forward as far as you can, but keep your legs straight. Hands going up, sit to your knees, and slowly come up, and go down again, and come up, come up. And go down, very good. Come up. While standing, hand shut. While standing, no rotation of the head, neither left nor right, no rotation. Because many people can fall down, therefore we need the balance, so we should not do it while standing. Hand this and that, this and this, or rotating, one can become a little unbalanced. Therefore, that remains like this. And now, hands in the front and go as far as much as you can. Sit on the chair, don’t go like this. That’s going to the toilet, you are. Sitting on the table, yes, and up. There’s one man with white trousers. He’s not doing it properly. Again, go straight. Go down straight. Together, like this legs. Put your knees together and look back more, more. Keep your legs like this. Stand up, put your hands here. Sit on the chair, keep your knees equal. Sit comfortably. What are you doing? Go down, everybody. Yes, wow. What to say? Why are you leaning forward? No, no, you don’t have to go. What are you looking for? Go out, take him out. Go here, you come here. Just you stay there, yes, stand up. We will make him the best, we will give him ice cream, okay? See how very good? Come up and go again down. Interlock your hands, go down more straight. Yes, wow, you look very good. Yes, a little up. Good, Sudarśan, a little bit to the left. Thank you. It’s all filled up, isn’t it? Very good. Now, handle the hands. Once more, put your hands on the waist. And go down straight from the table. Wow! Legs together. Straighten your knees. Otherwise, they will pull you out. Very good. Śravīrtāsana is very good. My time is going. Now we will do our hands, our heels, hips. Press your knees down a little. Bend forward. Yes, now it is fine. Now, what you have to do is take a deep breath. Inhale and exhale, completely exhale. Close the breath, no breath. And which is this exercise? Agnisāra kriyā. Yes. Go further. Stop the breath. Come up. Inhale. Oh, sorry. Inhale and exhale. Go down. Agnisāra kriyā. And come up, or put your hands on the knees. Go down, deep inhale and exhale, close the mouth, stop the breath, and Agni Sākṣī, come up. That was the other one, yes. We have to not do it like I told you I did. I want to know who is doing it. So, therefore, again: inhale, exhale, hold the breath, and Agni Sākriyā. No movement from the breath. Good. Now we will sit. Are we done? My time is up. What time is it? It’s 8:45. My program is at 8. So sit back. Place your hands on your knees. Sit straight and close your eyes. Feel your whole body. Hold your body. Normal breath. Very simply, your breath upon breath, sit straight with complete peace. And mind is mind, your mantra. Gurudev has given you a mantra. And with complete peace. Sarvittāsan, merī man meṁ kitnī śānti, merī śarīr kitnā ānand se bhar rahā hai, aur merī vicār bahut acche se vicār hotā hai. Concentrate on your whole body. Relax the whole body from the toes to the top of the head, and from the top of the head to the toes. Relax your elbows, relax your shoulders. Feel thyself that I am very relaxed, very happy, everything. Feel thyself within your body, all organs, all the bones, all the thoughts which you have. Feel thyself that you are the one with myself; that’s all. Whatever is in this world, in whichever direction it may be—the beautiful trees, flowers, the roads, the water, the earth, everything, the buildings—they all will come to you. Don’t go to that. We don’t want to go to that flower. That flower will come to us. The flowers will come to us, not that we are concentrating on the flowers. Ab apne jo nābhi hai, nābhi par dhyān karo, nābhi, we shall concentrate on our navel, after that, hamārā hṛdaya, uske bād hamārā kaṇṭha, uske bād, āge, iḍā piṅgalā, suṣumnā ke pās ho kar ke, bindu cakra, aur phir sūrya cakra. Om kā uccāraṇ karne kā vastrik jo kaisā hai, vohī hai. Jaisā a, a, u, e, i, to iske andar meṁ jātā hai a, vodh acchā. Ab Bolengi Nā Ham Karatā nāham prabhu-dīpa-karatā māha-prabhu-dīpa-kartāhi kevalam hari-hiyoṁ asato mā sat-gamayā tamso mā jyotīr-gamayā. Mṛtyūrmā amṛtaṁ gamayā. Sarveṣāṁ śvaṣṭir bhavatū, sarveṣāṁ maṅgalam bhavatū, sarveṣāṁ śāntir bhavatū, sarveṣāṁ maṅgalam bhavatū. Pūrṇamadaḥ, Pūrṇamidaṁ, Pūrṇāt, Pūrṇamudacyate. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti. Fold your hands, palms together, and place your hands on your face. Very gently, the muscles here are how it leads. Open the eyes and hands down. That is the yoga of daily life, all the yogic kriyās. This is only a glimpse of yoga and daily life. There are many exercises, and very easy ones, that we are trying to make our body like someone making it go to the circus. Our body, we should always keep in harmony, in peace, so that body can be taken care of, and day by day, our body will be more and more healthy, happy, and relaxed. Next time, we will continue. Have a nice day. Hari Om. Deep Nayan Bhagavān, Ādi Dev, Deveśvar Mahādev kī, sab ṛṣi-muni mahātmā kī, Mādhav Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān, Mādhav Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān, Ārādhy Bhagavān Śrī Mādhavān Jī Bhagavān kī.
