We always begin with the mantra Oṁ. This mantra is known to all of us. It exists in every religion, though the pronunciation may differ. This mantra is not merely for worldly purposes; it is a vibration. This vibration harmonizes the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of our being—physical for good health, mental for good thoughts, and spiritual for our inner harmony. The Oṁ we chant in yoga has permeated our body, mind, and inner harmonies. Oṁ is the primordial sound. According to yogic understanding, one who traverses this spiritual path engages not only their spirituality but their entire being. In recent years, I have tried to come closer to understanding this. It concerns the beginning and the end. Our beginning: from where do we come? Where did I come from? We are not only from this life; as long as we have existed, we have always been that—our ātmā, our soul, our individual being. Within this individual being, we are continually leaving behind more of our self. It is like a seed that sprouts and becomes a tree. Most trees need three or four years before they bear fruit. Others are like what we call jadā butī, a grass that comes once and then dies, leaving seeds behind. Yet others need time to produce seed again. This process exists within our five kośas (sheaths) and all our physical and mental aspects. These are what we call the prāṇas. From these prāṇas, we extend further into our eyes, breath, sound, words, and so on—the five and the other five. In this way, that kind of seed is inside, but it takes time to yield seed. As long as it is in the physical body, and when it arrives in that body, then we produce those kinds of seeds. It will give further seeds, but within that, there is a different resonance. This resonance is the energy we speak of, and from this vibration, this energy, we come into this world with the five elements. Thus, the seed has its purpose for every creature at a particular point. We know of different kinds of creatures—jaltar, thaltar, naptar. But in culture, we are coming closer and closer. Creatures like elephants take time to bear a child. Similarly, buffaloes, horses, cows, and humans. Here we must understand how far we have arrived with all this. That vibration, over a long time, is very important. Within it, we need the root. That root which we have been... spoken of long times again. So it is the whole body with all its parts for our activities, but that soul, that light—all that we think about—comes from space, from different sources, yet we are coming, and that is it. What we call in our tradition: all who give birth have this one center. But water and flies have a different center, yet it comes to the center again. Therefore, according to our Kriyā Yoga—what we are doing, our kriyā, our exercise—I know many of our disciples practice kriyā sādhanā every day. Many sometimes go and sometimes not, breaking the practice, so it is lost. They come and go in discontinuities. This is like our mālā (prayer beads). When the mālā breaks its thread, we immediately take a new one and continue our sādhanā. So in our yoga and daily life, we have a very solid, clear, and powerful practice that we continuously engage in for our sādhanā. And so it is with our Kriyā. For a long time, nearly 30 years or maybe more, our Kriyā has been taught. There are many books and many masters. According to what Holy Gurujī said, it was about Mahāprabhujī, and there are about 64 Kriyās. From these, very powerful and very good for our Yoga and our life, are our Bhaktas, our disciples who came to us. It came with anuṣṭhāna. Anuṣṭhāna means, for us, the purification of the body from many negative impurities, etc., in our body and mind. Anuṣṭhāna was great, but many did not understand and had no time to sit. In the very beginning, I think we have our dear Rādhā, Śāntī, Dr. Śāntī, and maybe a few here. From them, they were also walking like this, with both legs. But there are some, like Kriyānanda and a few others, who are still walking. And many, after walking, didn’t give it up. That was a great mistake. Yes, you can try again. Let’s see. So the anuṣṭhāna was very strong; we were observing mauna (silence). I failed to give people this because people would observe mauna for one day, someone for half a day, someone for five months, three days, five days. Like our dear sister who passed away, Gayatrī, and some people, they did, but others did not. When we go to programs and have this, then it has to be, then we are achieving. For example, in the mother’s body, in the embryo, for so many months—nine months, or maybe eight, or till seven—the whole embryo is doing this sādhanā, getting completeness, and then comes out. When we did the sādhanā that we had, so many left. Many are still working; they are working, really, everyone. But anuṣṭhāna is very powerful. We are there. You give money, and you get food, chai, water, a place, everything. But we have no insight to do that, and that’s why we are going there, we are here, we are going nowhere. So that anuṣṭhāna was a great sādhanā. After that Anuṣṭhāna, I came to Kriyā. It was about two or three years during which I was working with our Kuṇḍalinī. Kundalini—many people have different understandings, but ours is different. There is one person, or more, who gave very good Kriyā. I don’t know how it is, but it is Swāmī Yogānandajī who passed away. He gave Kriyā. But what he gave and what his people are practicing, in my opinion, 85% they lost. Otherwise, they would be nothing. Did you see any like that? But still, there are many who are coming, doing, and going. Okay. So that Anuṣṭhāna is one of the highest techniques for humans. And then the Kriyā Śakti, that Kriyā Śakti is there where even I have forgotten from the 64 Kriyās. But there are; I kept only one. I kept only one or two. Then I gave very powerful Kriyā from Devapurījī’s energies or so. I began it in New Zealand. There were about 25 people, and they got very good results. But it was very... and out of them, only three, and out of the three, only one. So this is it; people do not have that energy to know that. Either one said, "I want to be, and I will be, very soon I will be the great master and great this and that." You can talk. We can make the bansam this and the bansam that. Okay. This is like the birds, or we, as the birds, we can say, getting seeds here, getting seeds there. So we are here, that’s all. And so in that Kriyā, which we are doing here in Austria, and in most, I would say, in Vienna, they are having one week, one day a week, the whole class is for Kriyā practice and some āsanas. From there, some are coming and going. It is discipline. It is like this: we drink water, so it doesn’t matter in an aeroplane, in a car, at home, or anywhere—you need water or food. So many Māyāvaktas were and are going to aeroplanes, and I think our president goes to many other countries, but he was doing āsanas and kriyās. Some are practicing kriyās in aeroplanes, but not loudly. Many people who were in hospitals and very ill said, "My Mahārāj should be here," and he or she, they were doing Kriyā, yes. So, Kriya Yoga and Kriya Yoga is not this, called the samādhis, or what they call the... what is it they call it? And they think something different. So we spoke of many things, the whole physical being, inside and outside. And so again, we have always been talking from the foot soles to the top of the head. But now again, this OM resonance. Yesterday, much was spoken about resonance and the sky, the complete sky, and this, but many have forgotten. That was, I think, I spoke a little bit in the German language. So, in every part of the body, there are many, many; every part is Kriyā. There are two Kriyas. Blood circulation is a Kriyā. Going to urinate is a kriyā. Going to the toilet is a kriyā. Eating is a kriyā. Digestion is also a kriyā. Having a fever is a kriyā—many, many things. Some things are bad, but it is not bad. It is good and bad, different from what we think. And so, when you have diarrhea, you have diarrhea. It doesn’t matter if you are on an aeroplane, in a train, in a car, or at home—you have to run. Yes, and so is that. If you can do that, that is also kriyā. This is a kriyā for purification. In the body, there is something not in order. So sādhanā is there. And so that seed, what I want to tell, is that seed is our navel. Everything is there from the navel, and from there it comes, which further... The seed has two parts, but one is the power, like roots. From the roots, two go up, and one is the brain. Is that root from the seed? And so, in the Bhagavad Gītā, in the 12th chapter, and it is said in others also, that over the... with them... ultimately, so our roots are down for the seed, but we have the seed from up to down. This is the seed and the beginning there in our brain. The rest are all different kinds of parts in the body—lungs, and this and that. But it is a resonance, bounded by resonance, and that is what I am talking and telling you. Many are doing the kriyās but talking negatively. They are talking about doing the kriya, but in jealousy to someone, and this. Therefore, I was talking and talking about this. I cut it into parts: from the navel below and above, both that. So, once the seed is going as roots, and as one is going above, the fruits or whatever. So there, that’s why for the last two years I was teaching you, and we were making the practice, Oṁ. And so, what I want to tell you, beginning from here today, is about OM. Do that, but don’t go the wrong way. This is something: some people learn somewhere some good technique, and then immediately they give the techniques to others. Then you have lost everything. Many, many people here also, they go or learn something or see, and immediately they tell you, "This is this," so lost like this. You are like that inside your inner properties, like this lost. Wait, wait till, let’s say, the woman. The mother lets her complete until the child becomes complete, nine months. Now, "I want to take my baby out." Many, they are going, and the doctor said, "What is that? Is it a girl or a boy?" All, they all, "Why wait? Don’t ask me." The machines, that is a child. Why in India? Of course, there are many people there, too many, so they are looking for the girl or the boy, so now it’s very, very strong, strict. No one should check about gender, otherwise the doctor will go to prison forever. Yes? So why can you? You have not learned, you have not power, you didn’t, and you are giving further that, "I am this master, and this and that." That’s why it’s gone. And then there are many, like birds going, and a little sound comes like this. All finished. Learn, learn,... learn. I am still learning. I know when what is coming, and peace in peace. Many people have many things they cannot wait for. Wait, wait. Maybe you would wait till the next life, and next life again your husband died. That whole life you are there, you are waiting, but, or a husband. This is, I mean. That is some kind of, what I call, just... it can be about others. I can talk about the cherry trees. So this is how we, we should be rife, we should rife. And so today, which I wanted to tell on this, but first learn, otherwise you will be confused. Then you will completely... so learn, learn, learn. Like a pilot, after learning everything, how many hours, only in the sky, your training, yes, practice, practice,... practice. We know who is a good pilot. He is landing on the same meter, wise exactly here, and just we said, "Oh, we are already on the land." And someone other, everybody, which kind of teacher is that? That kind of pilot? And there are pilots, great pilots, because they have learned. How many hours, I don’t know, but they have to just fly, just fly in the sky and come down, and not go up again. Yes, very close, coming, landing is a no-no. "I can go up." This is a technique, training, that’s it. Everybody said, "I’m a good one," who is a... I mean, what are they called, cinema or something, no? Who becomes the, what becomes this? This girl, what is she becoming? Hey, actor, yeah. Some are the actor, but she’s an actor. And now she has done long training, and she knows which time she should go, and like this. Anyhow, I can see, feel what you did with your body, with your mind, with your energy, with many, many things. And so, this about the nābhi, we got that this technique is very big, and for all of you, learn at least one, two. Years, and then you can go further. But do for yourself, and we shall do eleven times. Do it in your ashram or in your house, in your technique, at least two months, two years. Then you will see what you will have, the great feelings. And great things, so let’s say we chant "Nabi," and "Nabi" is the Vāśitās. Never, and many operations can be very easier, but "Nabi" is very difficult. Maybe Dr. Shanti, she’s a doctor of the... when she’s pulling the tooth out, it goes on and... Navy, yeah, yes. So, Dr. Shanti pulled her, my many, many tooth. Oh, but where I was? Yeah, it was in Rūd. She from the novel? She, she pulled it so long, yes. So, sit straight, sit straight, everybody. So, long ago, we were teaching the Sanskrit or the Hindi language. You know that? Kākā gāgadam, chāchā jājanam, tathā dādanam, pāpabābam. Yes? That’s it, and we were writing. Kākā gāgadam, chāchā jājanam, tathā dādanam, pāpabābam. This was where we learned the whole alphabet in one day. There was a bhajan, like a song, yes? Oh, that was the time, and they forgot, and I gave up. So, so that, that’s called Dīm Dhāgrik, and it has 52 letters. And in English, they have broken in half. So there are 26, and in Sanskrit there are 52. So, there is a very great difference. So, that is the other thing I will tell. And so, it is said, and we Germans or the English, they are talking two in one. And we said A, A, O, A, and so it is in this Kriyā, which have Kriyās, these different Kriyās, not this Kriyā is what you are doing. So just wish to learn this A, O, M. It is going through these three Nāḍīs, Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumnā, till from the Bindu and Sahasrāra. That’s a very powerful, very good feeling, and it’s good for many things for our body. A, A, U, U, automatically our vocal cords come there, and our mouth changes, already our lips automatically. So, we were doing both of everybody, A and A. Now, what is different? It is this: you put your hand on your navel and say anything. Anything we are, okay? So anything is okay. We can say anything, anything, very good. Doesn’t matter, all is that. All right, we are good, everything, great. All this, what we are saying, it is going from the navel, and this is always giving the vibration strong, but in these letters, what they gave there, the navel will not be moved, and from there comes that prāṇa. If you go quickly, then it will be different, but just gently. Uh, uh, long, long ago, no, no, I’m telling you something, and a hundred percent it was in 1970, 1977 or ’8, in Hungary. And in Hungary, there was some car, they made some nice car, and they were asking, asking, they were showing you that. Car, how smoothly that car is. And there, there was a car, a little bit, and then that, when we are giving what we call the not a break up, break order, yeah. So there was an egg, there was an egg, and on the egg, you... Are one foot was on the, on the giving the, but and so anyhow, my car, I have no car, so I forgot everything good. And so this we are giving the plus or plus, so we are giving the color class, but. What they have given this beautiful? This is an egg, and here was my pulse, and I was giving slowly like this. The car was moving, but I did not break the egg, and I said, "Why is the egg there, Hungarians?" I said, "What?" That time, and so once, this car is so smooth, and the techniques are so good, so even... You will not break the egg, like this. And years, I know. That’s why I said it should be smoothly, how this smoothly. And that also I remember from the novel now, 1977 or ’8 in Hungary. I don’t know which car that was, but still I remember that. That’s it. Smoothly, oh, oh... The navel did not move. Hold here. Oh, these are one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven, till we... Become the Aum through this. What a wonderful meditation you can have. Meditate within. Don’t go here and there. Many times we were concentrating on meditation, here and there. Come inside. We should come inside. So then, I tell you, if you will concentrate, don’t teach others. After two years, you may master the techniques; otherwise, they are lost. But we do it ourselves, and this is only this. There are seven different steps in there, that sound. That is the Omkāra Bindu Sāyuktam Nityaṁ Dāyati Yoginām. That’s it. Very great. So we shall practice, we shall practice. We have the sādhanā, and not only that, we have to teach the generation, the new generation, and therefore the generation brings the āsanas, but also certain kinds of techniques. That’s very important. So we need our practice, and we are old. But we have to have new generations. So now we have to—you are all yoga teachers of yoga and daily life—so you have to get now the people, the new people, and they will be better because they are looking for it. Now, they have heard many people about yoga, but Yoga Day, Yoga Day is as long as Modi, and even now the ambassadors don’t care about it. It’s like this going. So today I was doing them Umapuri, and no one came from. From the embassy side, and this and that, and somewhere, because there is a bit, I don’t need to tell the enemy, it’s okay, why? But you, I can tell you, my dear, that Western people, I see from 52 years, I mean in Europe, and this, the people. People are working or practicing; in my opinion, let’s say, 89% of people, really, they are practicing. It doesn’t matter which guru, and a guru has to be; it cannot be only one guru. It is good that many, many gurus, many, many teachers, this is called the Sanātana Dharma, is one big tree with many, many branches, and on the branches, many, many fruits are falling down, and this and that, everything, so it is good. Don’t say, "Come only to my school, no, your school, your guru." Okay, practice there nicely. You are also a guru. You are, so you know, there’s kindergarten. Do you know what is a kindergarten? What is a kindergarten? What is a kindergarten? Kindergarten. And you know, there are many children in one kindergarten, but every child has their parents. Yes? So it is also that people are together somewhere, but they have their guru. And we should not take their guru to that side, and don’t go to this guru to that side. Then it’s not good. So we should respect every guru and every school. Yoga is yoga, but we have a name. Our yoga in daily life, and there is Sīvānanda yoga class, and then Vivekānanda class, and so many, many. Why not? Great, this is great, but they are fighting because I want to have more people. By that is then what you call them? Money. That’s not it. We have to bring the people good understanding, good practicing. It don’t go like this, and not all like this. And it, it is in the CBC, yeah. There is, which is good. I must find my accommodation, that common email, yeah. So that’s why, very, very good. So I think it’s a great, everything great. You are very great, and it is... I’m so happy to see you again. It was nearly, nearly seven years... months, seven months. My god, but I... I... I had people all the way, but does everywhere how happy they were, and this and there, and yes, but this part here was, many people were thinking, and I was also bored, I can say, longing to see you, yes, that’s it. So it was very nice, and I am tomorrow also here, and the day after tomorrow I am here, so these two days. We will be again in the ashram here. They want to tell me to send out, yeah, the months of division now. Where will you go tomorrow? I will be here, so of course some people can come who cannot come. Of course, they should not come from a far distance, but we are close. For our Vienna, around our Vienna, it fills up, Salzburg, etc., and Croatia, or Slovakia, or close ones, Hungarian nearby, so we can come. It must not be big lectures, but practice. And when we come, thanks to God, there is one thing I said, because I... I told, "Always please be silent, please don’t talk too much," and nobody was listening. And when I was talking, then it’s okay, but now I mean, I mean, every bit she can like it. Nice babies in the nest when the mammoth mommy comes on, so... I said, "What, Maa Prabhujī? They are always talking too much." So I, Maa Prabhujī, said, "Okay, I will give you." Perhaps this was for Mahāprabhujī, but it is happening. Anyhow, so very nice. Thank you very much. I am very, very happy, and you are also very happy, I know. And so many telephones and Skype, and this and from San Francisco, a long time from also from the Brazilian bhaktas. There was great, very, very big problems there, and they were putting the dead bodies, three in one bundle, and they don’t know where they mean. It was it. It was not good in many ways, and it is how it is. No animals, only humans. And then I asked many, many people, those who are yoga practitioners and are vegetarians only or vegans, they were not ill. Maybe they came together only a few days, but again they were okay. So this is purification of our body and vegetarianism, and this, but of course we want that other people should also be healthy, but they will again jump into the same thing, like a story about one master, you know that, yeah. The scorpion in the water is running out and going, so, so now we shall sing the prayer. And prayer silent, all. One person will make this prayer. Thank you, program. Everybody, all in the world, nice to see you. Oṁ śānti, oṁ śānti...
