Jyotish is the fifth of the Vedas

Yoga begins before Śiva, in a primordial state of space and consciousness. This state holds the three principles of balance, harmony, and control. From this, the five elements—space, fire, air, water, earth—emerge. Śiva is these elements, having no father or mother. The true horizon of understanding is always receding, like water seen on a distant hot road. The self is not merely the body or mind. The soul departs alone, without fear. The current age brings purification through challenges, guided by Śiva's balancing force. Jyotiṣa, the fifth Veda, offers guidance through life's constellations, such as in naming or marriage, but requires great learning. True progress depends on the guru's knowledge, not self-proclaimed realization. Practice extends beyond physical postures to understanding the elements within.

"Where is the horizon? We will try to go as far as we go, try to come as far as we come, to close the horizon, it goes further."

"Without knowledge of the Guru, nothing can be achieved."

Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī, Devpurījī, Alakpurījī, Sadgurujī. We pray to them to give us peace, harmony, understanding, and spiritual development. Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī, Devpurījī, Sadgurujī, my se k Dobré ráno. The people of the Czech government gave us permission for a certain number of people in such a big hall, so you can have satsaṅg. And with Dain, we have opened Swamiji Television, which is throughout the whole world: all Yoga in Daily Life and all other yoga centers, other yogas, with yogīs practicing and yoga teachers. I respect all of them. We are not only, that is, only Yoga in Daily Life. But yoga is yoga, and it is around the whole world. But what our teaching is for us, that is the spiritual, very special Yoga in Daily Life. Every yoga center has its particular teaching, and the teachers are good; they are doing their best to give people the education of yoga. Yoga is not only physical body and concentration a little bit, and prāṇāyāma, etc. The beginning of yoga is before Śiva. It is true, it is said, there is space and consciousness. And that means there is balance. What is what? Balancing. So the balance, harmonies, control, and that is called these three: that is controlling, balancing in the universe with this consciousness, and there comes then the first space. And that space is like a globe also. And the whole universe, our Earth, is just like a little one. And so it is said, endless. We don’t know where the beginning is and where the end is. It is said, for example, when you want to go and see the ocean and look far, how far is that vision we can see? Or here somewhere, when you are on the high mountain. And we say the horizon, or more clearly, I can tell you. That Sunday, hot temperature. A road is very clean and hot. And we are driving in a car. And we see in the front about 100 kilometers, not kilometers, meters, and we say there is water on the road. But as clean we come, that water is far. It’s called a horizon. So in that, as far as it goes, that far you will be far. So it is said, "Where is the horizon?" We will try to go as far as we go, try to come as far as we come, to close the horizon, it goes further. Similarly, it doesn’t matter where we are. So, where is the horizon? And where are you? Is your body? Is your thoughts only? Your mind? The mind is the highest, quickest. But that also, what they can do, is that it goes back. So, as in that space, and there is another space: the water, ocean, earth, the fire, etc. So where are you now? How long will we be here? And who is afraid that I will not go? Where is the fear? Pain, I don’t want. I will be afraid that all is in this body. When the ātmā, the soul, goes out, then it’s only one. You don’t see anyone. Also, you don’t know; you are afraid. Where I am. Where are you? From where are you coming? How to come there? So it is said very in the beginning, so these three principles are balanced, and first is, then we said, Śiva, but Śiva is not like this Śiva, but you see, first comes space, is the space, the fire, Jyotir, Jyotirliṅga, fire, the air, and the water, and then the earth. All within that is space. So, if you want to learn yoga, if you want to become a yogī, don’t mind and don’t be only that, āsanas, prāṇāyāmas. But without āsana and prāṇāyāma, also, our program cannot be done. So we know that the five elements, and from those five elements—not elephants, sorry—is Śiva. And when she appeared in meditation, how many years? And then Śiva opens his eyes, the light, the fire, the water, everything. So Śiva has no father and no mother. He was not, he was not born. No one, and from there again, what he is doing? So therefore, there are the two principles: the male and female. But where is that male and female? Suddenly, half part is female and male. But one in the body, not two. But that awakening in that, and then everything is Śiva. Therefore, Śiva has no father and no mother. But he becomes the one, and from one he comes to all. One in all, Holī Gurujī said, and all in one. So, in that position, we are all here. Means our yoga and daily life, bhaktas. So, maybe you are practicing āsanas, prāṇāyāma, or not. Meditation, are you doing it or not? But what I am saying to ourselves is, "Who am I?" And when you don’t know who you are, then what should we do further? So, according to you, after so many years in my life, finally I came to the... Satya Yuga’s steps are where Śiva is, and there are sub-ṛṣis, and these sub-ṛṣis are the seven stars, and that is known as the ṛṣis. And after that, the ṛṣis again are great saints, so it’s a long process. So there was Alakpurījī, our Alakpurījī, who was moving and coming very quickly, or not. He can show his body, but he has no body. He goes through the clouds from here to the other end of the clouds. The disciples and gurus can talk in distance. The clouds here, for example, in Strelka and till India and to New Zealand or Australia, are connected. All clouds are connected everywhere, and the ṛṣis, they can go through the walk, and we have caught it now. And you know that we have the clouds here in this telephone. I just now, I had a lecture there at 8:30 in the morning, and for one and a half hours I was talking. And I was like, all sitting in front of me like this, from Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, in these countries, all were in their house. But we caught all through this instrument. And I am sitting. I see them. They see me. I speak to them. Color also. Who is there, male, female? What a science! But this science and other yogīs’ science... So, science is going continuously more and more further, but there is a barrier. And that barrier is the techniques here, physically. After using them, they make many instruments. And then, Guru. So many gurus did not study. Study is not a science, but he or she, if practiced through the guru, and respected the guru, confidence of the disciple to the guru, then they will go there. But there are things, if we want to achieve, then it will be the last lifetime. Then it comes complete, the gate will open. So some people say, "I am a guru, I am self-realized, I know." Tomorrow you have done something different, and it is 24 hours, every second and every minute. Every week, every day, it’s changing, like the wind. Therefore, if you say that I am self-realized, then don’t tell that I am realized. Otherwise, you will be laughing. So, that’s why it is changing, like, for example, in our body, the blood circulation to the whole body. And we don’t know which part of the blood goes from this side to that side. So we have to come to the last point now. The blood will not flow, movement will go, but you have a little breath, eyes, and now you know that my body is separating. Then it’s called Brahmaloka. Yes, self-realized. Otherwise, everybody is self-realized. In the morning, you get up. We open our eyes. We know that everything goes. So, those who said, "I am a guru, I am a great guru, he can give everything," it means it is not. So those are the techniques we have in our books of bhajans of our Mahāprabhujī, Holī Gurujī. And many other gurus, great gurus, their knowledge, their knowledge in my knowledge is like a drop. But that who is a very great, and I am on the drop. When I come, when they said, "Maheshwaranandjī is coming," it is my ego. But when I come, they bow down. I say, "No, please, not so." One day, one sādhu said, "Mahāmaṇḍaleśvarjī, not you, but your Ālakpurījī, Devpurījī, Mahāprabhujī." And your Gurujī, so that’s why we go down to them through you. But there are many stories. Something it was—I’m reading now the Śiva Purāṇa, and there is one ṛṣi, very great. He can go through the air. Who is that? Nārada. Narada, Narada was in Har Har Mahadev. He is tall, but he can go through the whole clouds, and he cannot stop anywhere, only a few minutes, then again he goes. And he has only for Śiva, Viṣṇu, Brahmā. And he came once to the earth. And from Satyugas came the, some, what you call here, the holy girls, or what is it? Angels, angels. And then he came down to Earth, and then he was infected, and he went to Viṣṇu, and he went to Śiva, and he said he wanted to marry. So Śiva said he would be lost, but he could not stop. But when he wanted to go somewhere, that one girl had to be married to a king, and the girl said, "I want to have that knowledge, beautiful things, many good things." And Nārada also came. He gave up everything, knitted dress, but immediately his face became like a monkey. And he thought, "Oh, I will be the very king." And that girl is going to everyone; she’s looking at this person, and they get up, and they sit like this. And she goes to others. There’s a garland of flowers. Where she wants, she will give, and again it comes to Nārada, and she’s laughing. All people are laughing, and he said, "How can it be? I’m the best one." But he became a monkey. Well, then again, she came to Viṣṇu. And Viṣṇu gave her the garland, and he was so angry with Viṣṇu. Anyhow, then after he realized that he was not good, he should not. So there are many things going on, age to age. And now, in this year, this year was not so good. And this corona, and this disease. About five or six months before, it was the day, and now on Christmas day, and then it begins, not good. Because it is coming in two parts: the satya’s purities, great saints, yogīs, you all, and others, as the other part, like they had like devas and rākṣasas. After the corona, it’s not finished, but it is said that there are other things coming, and that’s why Śiva is coming. He will bring both, He will balance, and finally it will come, like you all, good. But not in one week, not in one year, it’s many years now, but Śiva has begun. And so it will purify, so it is said that in this Kali Yuga, disaster will come. But it is like this: that will go down in the ocean. And you all are coming to the Brahmaloka’s feelings. I’m not telling only India, or Croatia, or Czech. It is the whole globe, and there is that Śiva. What we said, Śiva is we made our self, but that is the difference. And please, always before going to sleep, Śiv Śiv, get up Śiv Śiv. Devpurījī is there. So yoga is before the Śiva. If you don’t understand, people will not understand. So it is that three principles plus space and consciousness. These are five. Annamaya, prāṇamaya, manomaya, vijñānamaya, ānandamaya, kośa. And in that, I am thinking very much. And all Jyotiṣ, Jyotiṣ is the fifth Veda. And Jyotiṣ can, if the great one, he cannot do negative or the wrong, even for himself. He will say, "Oh my God, this is a constellation." But it is said we can avoid something, and this is how to control. Then it is said we do fasting. We give some food or seeds to the birds, to the animals. In your countries, okay, not, but in many, many countries, we need water for the pots, plants for the people, for the needy people, to help them. So there are many things that Jyotiṣ can recommend. I was born in that Jyotiṣa Brahmin and in Himalaya, the king of Himalaya, and his Jyotiṣa guru, Garga-ācārya. And when Pārvatī was married to Śiva, then the wedding ceremonies were performed by this Gṛgācārya. When the Kṛṣṇas also were Gagācāryas. So these are many brahmans and ṛṣis. And so, my people, mine is from Gāgāchārya. But we don’t follow that. The Gāgācārya must be great and learned. And you can’t imagine how great the power is, and whatever he speaks will be right. And we can’t even imagine what power, what power he had. Whatever he said, it happened. My father, my brother, Holī Gurujī, Holī Gurujī’s brother, my other family members, they are all very great, they are working with Jyotiṣ. I said, "I will not do. Only Mahāprabhujī, Hari Om." But now I know, Mahāprabhujī, you are everything. Holī, Gurujī. Everything, that’s all. But sometimes I need it. Just now, someone birthed a child in Australia, Brisbane, got a child, two weeks, and he wants to give the name. So I said, there are two names. Whatever you like, beautiful name, okay. But if you want to have it through the Jyotiṣ, then he will tell what time he was born, which place, what was the sunrise at that time, which month or day, all given with it. Then, in my uncle there, near Rupavas, he will take everything out, and in five minutes, ten minutes, he will say the name of this person. There are letters, so we have 52 letters in Hindi, and he will give only the letter from 52: two, three, maximum four. So there is, for example, "a," or "t," or "p"—he will do. So if it is a P, then Peter, for example. Then it will be a very good match. And when this boy, now he’s going to marry, or wants to have a girl, then that man will not get any girl. If it is, then it’s like animals. But he wants to have that girl, and they will tell the parents of this girl which day, what time, and where she was born. And then Jyotiṣ will take both; they may not see. Only he wants the time of the birth. And then he will say, "Yes, this is okay." And which is not, it will say that maybe you can marry this girl or the boy. Maybe some in two months, one month, one year, or two years will again separate. Quarreling. Then again, marries to others again, the same. How much energy you get in your body to the girls or to the boys, and that will be suffering, suffering, suffering. Name is okay, but first letter, where it is? And if this letter and that letter, what time it was? So, when you have your children, if you can follow, you will see it very good. But all of you here, you are already, how to say, from krodha? Not positive, negative. But what to do? Yes. This boy was many times with other girls, and he talked about other girls. What to do, Swamiji? What should we do? I go to the doctor. What is the disease? Where it is, what medicine, what operation, what. Not that physical, but mental and further. And so we have to follow. Then we will make that disease okay. Otherwise, a cancer, this, that, many things. Yes, because this is going to the constellation. That is also a yogī. And you are great yogīs. I’m not a very great yogī. I just sit in my room and finish that yoga. But you are great. And you know how you are great? You can bring me here. Otherwise, I am sitting. If you want to come, come, or go. Yes, but one person called all. All can take me here. That is the power. So our Yoga in Daily Life is not only āsana and prāṇāyāma, my dear. Think over what is in your blood, and how it follows from one to the other in your body. And now it’s okay. We are strong, and this and that. But very soon you will come. That time will say that you did not wait for it. Some flowers, trees of the flowers, we folded down. Or little fruits will fall down. We take the fruits, but it’s unripe fruit. And ripe is that in the brain and the heart. I want to be a good person who can be a very good jyotiṣ. So many jyotiṣīs, but they are not good. And when the jyotiṣī will say that I want to have this much money and this, then finished. But you have to give. He will not. Sometimes, the jyotiṣ book, you know, I will bring it next time here. And there is the book here, Jyotiṣ sitting there, and before saying anything, he will give a donation on the book. There are many things that we will come to next time. Until then, you enjoy, okay? Because my Jyotiṣ will come, then we have here, so we know how to clean out everything. I will see. I will not leave you aside. I will give you a blessing, and a great one, but I am slowly, slowly. So you are Yoga in Daily Life. Now you should give all many people this Yoga in Daily Life further. And also, other yoga teachers, we should respect them. And the teachers who are working with that, you also said it’s very good, please practice. But on the other steps, further control. So, like that, one seed can fall down, and the flower will come. Many cherries will be, and the cherry will also give some seed inside, and there are two, three white lives inside. Yeah, the worm. So that the worm is also inside. So why worms? Because we could not control it, so many things we will say. So therefore it is said, there was a bhajan of Mahāprabhujī. There was a bhajan of Mahāprabhujī: "Gurūsabhīnā karjanāyī sare, Gurūsabhīnā karjanāyī sare. Koṭi upāya kare koī cāhe, koṭi upāya kare koī cāhe." Who is here can sing? There are many who can sing, but they need something. Many, many singers: Gaṅgā, Jāvo, Kāśī, Jāvo, Cāro, Dharma, Phirī. You can go to the Gaṅgā. You can go to Kāśī. You can go to all four holy places, and so many just here and there. But they are not knowledgeable. They are just worshipping here and there. But there are sinners. They cannot fall down. That is the point. Only doing other things, I will do this and this and that. But without knowledge of the Guru, nothing can be achieved. Let’s say you have a teacher, a child, and you learn a little bit, and then you don’t go. You cannot be a professor. You have your teacher, your professor. And a professor can make a professor. That’s it. So, all the best, my dear. Thank you very much. Vasant. Vasant means, you know what it is? In March. In March. January, February. Coming out, February flies, many, many flowers. And so that is called Vasant. We all are searching for the Vasant. How flowers and this? Oh, there is another story I don’t want to tell you. Yes. So even God, when flowers are coming, meditation. But those who do not have that knowledge, and who are doing this, then you know they have problems. On March, April, many people will say, "Because you cannot take, what you can take next time." Now, this is, I don’t know what I want to talk about, and I’ve already talked about many things, but it was good. Next summer, and our seminars here, big, there we will have some good training or lecture or some techniques for you, who is really, but after, if someone is gone out, then it will not be good. And there is nothing complicated, no complications. All complications I have given you already, and now I will pull them out again. Very good, okay? So this will be in summer or whatever it is. Have you any question, my dear? There is one lady who has a question. She had her thoracic glands removed, operated on. If there is something she can do, like what practices, what techniques she can do? Well, the pregnant woman is a woman, and the child is an embryo for two years, or two months, or one month. And they have taken out the test. What should I make? But I will say, we have doctors. So Holī Gurujī said, "Next to God is the doctor." So doctors are giving us medicine, and keep this, please. Do your prāṇāyāma, do some exercise, a little. And look, I tell you to talk to some doctor, homeopathic, and this, we have all homeopathic here, so look which kind of medicine you can have, but take it from the doctor. I can only tell you, I pray to Mahāprabhujī that you will be good and healthy. Thank you. Vishwa Gurujī, there are some people who have birthdays. There are some people who have a birthday today. What? Pregnant? No, no, no. Birthday. Oh, they give the birth now. No, no, no. They celebrate their birthday. Three children are born now. Very good. Now? No, they have a birthday celebration. Oh, in the hall. Very good. But we should call some doctor or nurse. Nurse, are you home? Are you home? Say something, please, what you said. And people would love to come for darśan. Darśan. Darśan is Gurujī, Mahāprabhujī. I am nothing. All is Mahāprabhujī’s darśan, and I am your darśan. But you can come to Mahāprabhujī here, and me, you also can say, "Hi, thank you." So please come and bhajan. Somebody should sing the bhajan. Please come, someone, to sing bhajan for this. Om Śānti, Śānti, Śānti. Om Alakpurījī Mahādeva Kīje. Devādhideva, Deveśvara Mahādeva Kīje. Haradī Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī Kīje. Satguru Svāmī Madhavānjī Bhagavān Kīje. Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī Jaya.
