This morning in our Saṅgam Hall, the meditation and Anuṣṭhāna Kriyā with our Anuṣṭhān Bhaktas was very good. They liked it. You know that thousands of Yoga in Daily Life practitioners around the world learn and practice this Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna, which involves the chakras—meaning the kuṇḍalinī—and meditations. Our Yoga in Daily Life is a very expert technique, rare to obtain. Yoga encompasses the path from the beginnings up to the cosmic being, a knowledge most people have not yet received. This requires Guru Kṛpā, practice under the guru's guidance. This Kriyā Śakti has been practiced by our people for nearly 40 years. From the beginning in Western countries, we have followed a systematic program focused on quality, not quantity. When we go towards qualities, we dissolve everything. Quality and quantity are different. That is why, all around the world and in India, many schools and colleges try to collaborate with Yoga in Daily Life. Our quality, exercises, and prāṇāyāmas are very important. The physical exercises, what we call āsanas, have spread worldwide. The Yoga in Daily Life books are everywhere, translated in many countries including China, Japan, across Europe, and Russia. What we call Sarvahitā Āsana is a very high-quality yoga exercise. It is very good, suitable from a one-year-old child up to 105 years old. Sarvahitāsana maintains the best health of the body. Many around the world come to this practice. However, some people give it different names and mix things into it, thereby altering the qualities, like mixing petrol and diesel. Three such mixed qualities can completely destroy your machine. Even within our group here, some are mixing something, and therefore they are not successful. Successful for what? For ourselves. We are not talking about others. When our Yoga in Daily Life practitioners and teachers—and there are thousands of teachers—practice with the best quality, all physical exercises are good. Everyone has good ones; they may even be better than ours. But what about the second step of the human body? That is only for those in the paramparā of the gurus, that guru lineage which practically gives the knowledge and blessings to all bhaktas. Others cannot be successful. Many are talking and speaking of many things, but there is no further path. It leads only to the grave. If they don't have a way, it will take them to the grave. Therefore: Guru Vino gyānanā hoyī. Without Gurudeva, no knowledge can be. What kind of knowledge? Not worldly knowledge of human work, but our quality, which is devotion to God—any kind of God from any country, any religion, or no religion. All who have received these divine techniques become one. From Sarvahitāsana and all other exercises, many masters and teachers are teaching. But we have to go further. Why are we all coming? Because we come so our ātmā, our soul, merges into the cosmic. There are many techniques of these Kriyā Śaktis. There are 64 Kriyā Śaktis or techniques. Out of these, some masters grasp or take some. It is the best that they are doing. They give one or two techniques to their disciples because such masters are also more or less on the path of these one or two techniques. The first is Guru. Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalam. Only by the blessing of Gurudev. Guru Kripāhi Kevalaṁ Śiṣyaki Ānanda Maṅgalaṁ. It is said: when one comes and learns first and best, then guru kripā hi kevalaṁ—it is only the blessing of Gurudev. Śiṣṭe ke ānanda maṅgalam. Therefore, the disciple is in cosmic self, happiness, and joy everywhere. On this earth, in this globe, there are millions of great gurus. But that kind of guru does not come to make more and more. We have gurus whom the disciple has not seen, and who have not seen the disciple. But that is the guru who knows which disciple is searching and is lost. He will give blessings from five descents, and suddenly the disciple comes again into spirituality. A master should be such that he knows his disciples. He knows when a disciple goes off the path, and he blesses him so he can return. For example, take Devpurījī. Give him the vision—I mean, close that. That is Devpurījī or Mahāprabhujī. Read Mahāprabhujī’s book, Līlā Amṛt, and you will know. For instance, there was a person who had a problem; he was eating something and it went into his nose. You know this. It was somewhere near Bombay, and he asked Holī Gurujī. Holī Gurujī said Mahāprabhujī could give a blessing so he wouldn't need an operation. So, our Holi Guruji, Swami Madhavānandajī Bhagavān, went to Mahāprabhujī in Barīkhāṭu, and the person went there. When he was about 20 meters away, Mahāprabhujī said, "Oh, you came here. You have this problem. Come, eat something and drink milk, and go back to your village, city. There, beside you, a person has chickens. When one chicken comes closer to you, your problem will be gone." He drank milk, Mahāprabhujī gave him something to eat, and a train was coming. Mahāprabhujī said, "Go immediately." The person was not so satisfied. He thought, "This sādhu didn't speak with me. I didn't ask him, and he just said to drink a little milk and go." He gave him something to eat. When someone has a big problem, they will accept anything if it can solve it. He went there, and yes, a person had a few chickens eating there. One chicken came towards him. What happened? He made a motion, and a corn kernel came out from his nostril. The chicken caught it, ate it, and went away. A little blood came, but all pain and problem were gone immediately. He went back to Holy Guruji in that city. Holy Guruji asked, "Did you meet Mahāprabhujī?" The person said, "Mahāprabhujī was not there, only God. When I saw him, all my problems were gone." That is called the guru. Therefore: Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Deva, Guru Maheśvara, Guru Śakṣak, para Brahmā. That’s why it is said, "Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, and Guru Śiva"—all together; above that is the Guru. Therefore, meditate. Concentrate towards the Gurudev. He will give everything. Such a guru can be not only in India or the Himalayas. He can be in the desert, and you may not know who that is. In India, we search for gurus, trying to look to them and say, "Please, Gurujī, can you give me?" But many times, there is such a master that people do not see he is the master. There is a great sense on this earth, and we should have that kind of master—not those collecting people or money. Without giving, without asking, but they are giving. That is the guru. Similarly, our anuṣṭhāna is a great technique, and you should all practice. But you should not give this technique further. Only that guru will give it—the guru from our paramparā. We have such gurus here and in Europe. They need not be sannyāsīs. There are many others, normal, with luggage and everything, but they are very great. I know who is who because of how many years they have practiced and been with me. So there are many, many of our brothers and sisters. The techniques we have here are not for every day—once a year, maximum twice a year—because they need a very calm and peaceful place. Only on these days are you alone with thyself. The rest of us have families and work, so we cannot always do them. I received these many techniques from Holī Gurujī, and then from another, Holī Gurujī’s guru brother. He was older than Holi Guruji, a simple person but one of the best bhajan singers: Vardhānandjī Mahārāj and Bodhānandjī Mahārāj. He was great. Holī Gurujī often went and stayed with him. He told me to go and see, that there is Mahāprabhujī. He had seen Mahāprabhujī in his dream and received from him. He said, "My master is also Mahāprabhujī. Go there." So many are there. You are here now. How many years have I trained you? Now you have this capacity, but it is still not such that you can give further. When I talk about something very powerful, you should not teach it the next day. Many of our yoga teachers, my disciples—whether in orange, yellow, or white—immediately think, "Now I will teach this because Swamijī talked." Wait, wait, wait. You don't know where this power will go, and you will come there. So, my dears, you are all great yogīs, and I am very proud of you. You are great souls, and you always attract me, so I have to go to you. It is not the disciple who goes to the guru, but the guru who comes to the disciples. It is like iron and a magnet. Sometimes the disciple is a magnet, and sometimes the master is a magnet. If the magnet is there but the iron is not, what will it do? They will come together. Sometimes the magnet and iron are very close but do not come together because they are going in other directions. They are brought close, and it goes to her. We cannot bring them together. A person with negative energies will come near the Master but will try to maintain distance. We should know that we have to practice and come back. Our practice today was beautiful, with many techniques, including Manipūra Chakra. Another powerful one is Anāhata Chakra. Viśuddhi also, and Maṇipūra Cakra, and Mūlādhāra Cakra, and the Svādhiṣṭhāna cakras. All chakras have the same beautiful powers and are different. One person said, "Swamiji, the Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra," and everybody thinks the Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra is more for desires—feelings of desire towards male or female. That is not its power. It is the nābhi, and from nābhi it has to come to the sahasrāra, so that is not this part. That is another chakra. So there is nothing there. Someone asked me, "I cannot understand, and I can’t control Svādhiṣṭhāna. How can I control it? What can I do?" I said it is very easy: go into the garden and work there. Then that chakra will become. So if you cannot control this, then go control the garden. It is not like that. It is completely different. You don't know where in the body some kind of divine light will come. That is what we have to know. It is in the whole body. That power is there, and everywhere is power. But you cannot get that because you have no power. You cannot. It has to be the mother. Now, mother is all. There are many females here. But only mother and child, when they are together and the child is little and wants to drink milk, can the mother give it. The father is sitting, but he can do nothing. Another mother is sitting, but she cannot give you milk. Even if a child tried to taste or drink milk from another mother, there is nothing. Any woman, even if you cut the chest with anything, milk will not come out. Blood will come, nothing else. Neither your father nor any of your other sisters’ children will die. We can give goat milk or others, but that milk which comes from that mother is because she has given milk twice: first, as long as the child was in her womb through the navel, and then after the child came out and connected the distance, milk came through the breast. So it is that you don't know where the desire is. That is very important to know, and if you are trying hard, it is not nice. You have a lot in these techniques. This is about how many years? Before, there were long techniques, but I deleted many things. Otherwise, it was for every five minutes, ten minutes—all techniques went. Many of our bhaktas, our devotees and practitioners, are practicing. One day, they received this knowledge. Many things we did not write in our book; this is only for you. Many times I told them before, "I give you this kriyā. If you teach others, your power will be gone." And what will be with you? Desire. Then they think, "I will teach this yoga kriyā. I don't need Swāmījī. I am the master." That is lost. The person is lost, and the other is lost. You have power in your hand now, still. I can tell you, do these techniques. Otherwise, don't do it. Therefore, many people lost everything. So it is a matter of guru and disciple. There are many things to know, but time has gone, and I am very happy to see you. We will speak further. We spoke today about these techniques, and many, many more. I have to see again how many seconds per minute by this program: Walking with Swamiji, lunch, breakfast, Karmayoga, Bhakrī Prāṇāyām, Trikuṭī Prāṇāyām, Pṛkuṭī Prāṇāyām, Breakout—there are so many bodies. Perhaps one day we will come together only those who are practicing Kriyā Yoga, and we should give all to our bhaktas. But not you can do it; only those who have received the instructions and blessings can give you instructions. Thank you, and all the best. Adiós. Fifteen minutes are left if you have any more questions. That’s very good. Backside and body. Is it a question or a statement? Water. Please, in which chakra is Pitṛloka? Once again, please. Again: In which chakra is Pitṛloka? In your brain. Brain chakra. Sahasrāra chakra. Yes.
