I would like to translate and explain the bhajan, "Śrī Mādhvānandī, Śrī Mādhvānandī, Prabhu, Ānandadījo." This is a spiritual song written by our beloved Gurudev many years ago. In the first line, he is asking: "Oh God, oh my Gurudev, Swami Mādhavānandajī, please give us bliss, happiness, understanding, beauty, everything." And on top of that, he asks one more, even more important thing: "Hama Sava Seva Ka Seva Lījo"—accept our service. We are doing many things, but will the other person accept it or not? That is a big question. The simplest example is between a boy and a girl. Will the girl accept the flowers and the feelings of the boy, and vice versa? So we ask God, "Please, can you accept what I give, what I offer?" By definition, God does not need anything from us. So what can we offer Him? That is why we offer our heart in our closed hands. He is asking his Gurudev, our Grand Master, Holy Gurujī, to give us happiness and to accept our service. He is not singing this bhajan for himself; he is singing it for all of us. We have done many bad things and have also suffered a lot. Please forgive us. Then he goes further. He compares his Gurudev to an ocean: "Samundara." We are the waves of that ocean. He is requesting Holy Gurujī, "Kṛpāsāgara mai samānade"—O merciful ocean, O merciful master, please let us be one with you. In Indian tradition and songs, "Sāgara" is an ocean. It can be "Bhava Sāgara," the ocean of this world, this existence. Here he says "Kṛpā Sāgara," the merciful ocean, which means the Master, the Guru, God. This is very interesting—the same word is used for both the world and the ocean of knowledge. The ocean of the world is where we are living, suffering, and feeling happy, though mostly, unfortunately, we are suffering. The other is "Kṛpā Sāgara," the Merciful Ocean, which is God, the Guru. God is the master. You are the sun; we are your rays. We see the sun every day, and the sun is like a representation of God. Swamiji called us all the rays of the sun. So Swamiji gave us two titles: we are the waves of the ocean, and we are the rays of the sun. We are the ones bringing light into this world. This is how highly he thinks of us, and of course, he expects us to fulfill this. "Bhārama Andhera Prabhu Durbhagānede"—O God, O merciful Gurudev, please remove this heavy darkness of ignorance. Then he invokes, "Śrī Pūjā Bhagavad Gītā Nārāyaṇa," which is the name of our Mahāprabhujī, known from the book Līlā Amṛta. He is the beloved Gurudev of our Holy Gurujī and is like an Iṣṭadevatā, a personal deity, for many of us. So Viśvagurujī is asking Mahāprabhujī, "Bhakta uddhāra avatāra pīra lejo"—Please take birth again for the sake of the devotees. In Indian tradition, there is heaven and hell. There are said to be twenty-seven different types of hell, and there is also a waiting list for hell. Many people who did bad things are on that list, hoping to go to hell so they can move further. People who did good things go to heaven. But in Indian tradition, neither is permanent. When you go to heaven, it is like going to a seven-star or ten-star hotel. When your good karmas—your "money"—are finished, you go out. That is why we come back to earth and are born again. But there are rare holy persons who are born by their own will, born to help others, to help the whole universe—like Mahāprabhujī, or Gurujī, or Viśvagurujī. In the last line, "Śrī Maheśvarānanda, Nijamānase Bukhārī"—our Gurudev, because he wrote bhajans, we added the title "Śrī." There are two ways to write bhajans. The first way is to write your name, taking responsibility for what is written. The other is to write anything and not sign it, so nobody will come to you. Viśvagurujī signed his name in this bhajan so that if anyone has any complaint or anything to say, they can come directly to him. As you know, all Mahāprabhujī’s bhajans, all Holy Gurujī’s bhajans—Lāla Nānjī, Śiva Nānjī—all have signatures. So our Viśvaguru Mahāmaṇḍaleśwar Paramahaṁswāmī Maheśvara Nānjī is asking his Gurudev from his heart, "Bhakta kī pū karta kālsu nālijā"—not only to hear the requests of his devotees, but to fulfill them quickly. In this short bhajan, Viśvagurujī wrote so many things. I had the honor to sing it to Holy Gurujī himself with his devotees in Jodhpur, and it was very nice; the devotees really liked it. This bhajan, if you wish, you can sing every day. It is actually a prayer, not just a bhajan. There are many other prayers you can find in our books. Now I pray to our Viśva Gurujī to give us a few words of wisdom. For me, it was wonderful to hear the sounds again. The sound comes from God, and the divine vibration is in our whole body. It would be good if the sound could open the window so that so much good, divine energy comes back into our whole body and into all of us. How was my lecture? Good or not? In English, I will be able to pass it on sometimes. Here with us is our Hīrdekāmaral. She was also here for a long time. She worked in this ashram and then went on to others. Maybe she will do another one. He was in many countries. That is what many of my sisters and brothers practiced—yoga a lot. God is God. We feel from God’s name, sound, book, learning, coming home, evening, going to sleep—everywhere we should think of God. Ganesh said, "What will be from us, a sound or will be spoken?" So I know I don’t need to say anything else, Linz. In Linz, these wonderful, divine energies are everywhere. I came here; it was 1904 or something like that. It was Vienna and then Linz. From Linz, I came to other countries. But I have seen here; this is a wonderful, good thing. If you don’t know, or know but don’t want to do it, that is a problem. Yoga is spiritual. Yoga is our body exercises, concentration exercises—also very good. From the five elements of our body onward, we come to a divine house, and that is where we always go. There was nothing we could go to every day in the church. You are so happy; you have to be so good. This is a very big, wonderful... how do you say... tower. From very far you can see this is one with God and with us together, like a path. I am so happy again, and I just thought, "Beautiful, and you are all here." That makes me very happy. You see, from here you are completely filled with this divine energy. You don’t know where the energy is because the whole energy is there. I believe you should remember this every day. Now I would like to show some exercises. But one of our friends or sisters asked, "How long will we stay?" Someone tells me, "Swāmījī, why do you make your watch like this?" Because the watch has to be like this everywhere, right? Wonderful. And they said, "Why do you make it like this?" They say, "I want to be quickly"—schnell. So, I have said, without asking anyone, to look... I know how, what makes... I have only so. So, I think like this in yoga. Or I hold myself like this because the clock is there. So time—there is no time, and there is time. Night and day, so every day we are born. That’s why I thought it’s a bit of time. Now I would like to say one thing: two or three yoga exercises that are very, very good and everyone can do. Yoga in daily life is very much. This year, I have spoken a lot everywhere, in many countries. I always fly everywhere like a... how do you say... another, I would say. I come to our body. Many people have a problem in the body, pain. We don’t know what. And often we have a lot of thinking with urine or other thoughts, and more for our women, our sisters. This exercise I tell you will bring energy again, and there are many problems. One exercise I will show you involves three things. One is for us from India and other countries where there is not so much water and so on. That is from my tree, and from the tree, fruit and something. I brought it, and I showed people, mostly women, who have issues with blood or pain so strong. This powder I bring from India; I bring about 20 or 50 kilos. One day I took a lot because it is very, very good. So I don’t want to say, and I hope and say you have no problem, thank God. But it is that. The second thing is that we can do our own exercises for the whole body—from the head to the lower legs. That is a very good technique called the horse. Can we have a horse? We all know the horse. Die Pferde. Ja, ja. Pferde. One, two, Pferd. Fair is one of the words for life. A good is one that we call, that we are like a good. I won’t go on to say everything. So, when you are contracting, expanding, contracting, expanding. That is not only from there to the root, but it comes in the ears. That is for us also in this exercise, whether we can do it, want to do it—we should do it. This exercise is so good, and I want to show you now. Sit where you want, but please sit a little straight. You can sit on a chair. You can do it like this. You can stand like this. After two weeks, doing it three times a day, after two days you will see how your whole body will give you so much energy, peace, and like... there will be no... like a medicine. Medicine is okay; a doctor, of course. I, God, is also very good, but very much problem can go away for men or for women. This is called Aśvinī Mudrā. Aśva is a horse. Ashwa Mudra contracting. That’s what we’re doing now, if you want. Bring it a little bit forward, and the hands straight. And once: tief einatmen, ausatmen, and contraction, expansion. And relax. Again. But with normal breathing, we just sit like this, but let’s contract and relax. Contract and relax with the air, mouth also, nostril. When we see that it goes like this, the stomach is not allowed to take in and out. Bauch nichts. So da sind... But not from the stomach. So, wie lange können wir die Übung machen, Ashwini Mudrā, aber nicht den Bauch? From the anus, yes, from the anus: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. It’s like that, but not like that. Then there will be a headache and a stomachache, that’s it. Very, very nice. So mal dort. Both male and female, und nur dieses Kontext. Always, if you have any different kind of problems in your stomach, in your spine, in your heart, many things, and the whole spine—horse. Again, contract, relax. Contract, relax... And relax. Was? Fünfmal. zehn, or only five. Aber nur contract and relax. Only from there. Don’t try to contract here, not in the stomach, only that one point. And that is that one later point. The whole body will be very good after. You can tell me, "Swāmījī, thank you very much. What happened? Like a miracle, my all in my body, this part became very good." I will now practice and sit in Vienna. I will hear Austrian words again, but the problem is that everyone wants English. That means Swāmījī television, what I speak now, in many countries—America, Australia, New Zealand—physics, what I’m talking about now, everyone sees it. Okay, that’s number one. So please, let’s just say it three times, okay? Do it as long as you can. Inhale, exhale, and then. And of course, we have to sit in a straight line, right? And one does it like this, while mine sits completely different. So this is one very, very, very nice. My dears, my sisters, my brothers, all of you have many problems. And there is something other, I will... There is some time, you know, blood comes. Or there is a... what do you call this? Yes, yes, that is very good. Number one, number two, navel. Here is our navel. We are from here. A very fine semen came from the Father to pour this water into our navel. And the whole body, it comes from what? Like a seed comes to the earth, and there are two. The roots go down, and the two leaves, and there it comes on top. Between is that, and many people have problems. Sometimes they have so many problems, they go to the bathroom several times, or they can’t go the right way. So, you yourself lie down in your room or wherever you are, yes? And you take your belly very loosely, and with the arm, directly here. This will only happen when we lie down. Then, here comes a pulse. So, here, pulse. Here, the pulse. And here is the pulse everywhere, so with our thumbs. So, not so. So, here on the navel. Inhale and exhale. Hold your breath. And now, look there, where the pulse is exactly in the navel. Sometimes it’s on this side, a little bit to the left, or right side, nothing above or below. That has so many problems with the body, a lot. Also from food and this and that, and that is only on the navel here. That’s why you have to lie down on your back and see in which direction you are going. Yes, sometimes some people have a stomach too strong. Then it’s difficult how to go in. Yes, a big cow, but fortunately you don’t have a big belly. So, there you have to pull on one foot. That is so good. It is a health, and we are medical. Doctors are good, please; I am not a doctor, ja, but this will be, you will be happy, healthy. It doesn’t matter, your father, your mother, your sister, your brothers, your friends, all. And it goes from there, here, and it comes all the way up into the head and back through the two nostrils and goes back in here. I’ll do it for you once. People have a headache, among other things. The whole thing is in my yoga book and all. Many of my yoga students know what to do, and they have not seen anything. One was the Aśvinī Mudrā, and the second is Nābhi. We will do it every day for five minutes. And then you will see in three months what is very good in your body, in your thoughts, in everything. Then comes one of the most important things. If you don’t have a headache, or if you don’t have a lot of thoughts, then fall. And that is called Brahmrī. And Brahmari is a wasp. A wasp. Yes. And there are different types of them. One you can stick. Then there is pain, too. But not this. It’s different. Not like this. You know, they are making them... that is not good. So... then... so... There are many different ways how we should do it, or what problem we have, in which direction we should do it. But today, it is only... It will be so good when you do it. Now, two hemispheres, and these two hemispheres, when we, because of Brahmari... Then, when we break, it should be directly under our eyes, between, it comes all the way in to the point here. schlafen. Und das ist so schön und very good. Es ist auch eine Lecture. And so, it goes: two, it’s easier. One is teeth, yes. So, teeth here, and then we go. So, I don’t know what you have. Where do you have more, this side or more of the other side? One more time, please. Teeth together, bite. So we did armories, vibration. Ihr wisst. Then maybe we go straight up, I said, ummm, because a tooth is, so that is, then we let the teeth, all the teeth, clear, open, but lips together, but not all inside, ummm, ummm, no. It is only you. We make the teeth separately, and then, so, now make the teeth together for the first time, three times, okay. And then we wait a little, and then next time we’ll see how it is without the teeth, without biting, how it is. So, it’s supposed to be three things: a horse, a horse, a nappy, and then here, index fingers. And the men have nails for so long, right? Yes, the men, yes. The women don’t, they are good. So, it means, when I do very nicely and I speak, you put it close completely. Then you will, I said, "Hello, how are you?" Number one. Number two, shoulder and knee in this direction. And then it comes straight like this. Toes together. Three times. Toes back. Eyes, lips, and feel how your feelings are. Your head, whole body, and the whole body. Good. Now we make it loose, okay? But look where the vibration goes, okay? First it goes in the ears, or this side, or that side, or this side, or this side, okay? Check it, but the teeth are not bitten. Look how it goes from there, and it comes through the neck to here. In ten to fifteen days, you will be able to come to the right one. And look, if not, then we will see the next technique, okay? So, this is easy, but not like this, okay? MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM And tell me what it is. When our teeth were a little loose, then it came from here very nicely. These are the three, and one more person. Someone told me, and it was a month or three weeks before, that’s my little children. They are three years old, five years old, six years old, seven years old, eight years old, nine years old, in bed at night. And many of us ask doctors, and many of us say this and that, and that is also a good technique for yoga. And that is so good. It’s like a miracle. It’s not mine. Our yogīs once said, and so it is a wonderful technique. And what is that? Do we have a fire? Then I’ll let you go out, please. So, oh, only one. Okay, no, no, okay, I don’t need. So, this is what we talked about: these three techniques. Technique. And the third is this for the children, and also for the elderly. Some elderly people also have this. Somehow, I will accept this. Can you all pray together? Please pray. So this is not a miracle. There is nothing like this. But this is something in the brain, something happening, and then the next day, not going to urine in the bed. So you don’t have, "I’m home," but if someone here, so putting within the skin on bed, laughing. Good, okay, give me a laugh. Okay, at least I was. And there is a light. Show me the light. Look. And good night. That’s all. Morning, you will see what is okay. Thank you. You spoke a lot. Unfortunately, my language is like that. But I will come back now. It will be very nice. So, Apsu, Aśvinī Mudrā, Nāḍī, and Brahmārī. Hari Om. Thank you.
