Practising with Vishwaguruji

Daily practice is essential, varying appropriately with one's age. A consistent routine yields benefits over time.

The practice involves specific physical postures and movements. Begin with standing and simple motions, performing them a set number of times. Postures can be done standing or sitting. Regular daily effort is key, not attempting too much too quickly. Dietary discipline supports the practice. Consume a primary salad with seeds, prepared simply with a little oil. Eat until full, incorporating other foods like bread and vegetables. This regimen, maintained over time, promotes health and lightness. Further exercises follow, including seated postures and controlled movements requiring focus and slow, deliberate execution.

"Salad is the best. If we can take it like this from this, otherwise that other kind of salad is also not good."

"And it is, we can get it from the shop. Many people are bringing good ones, healthy ones, this one."

We should practice every day. I myself have been practicing my exercises for three years now. Good morning to all, and to my exercises. Of course, the practice varies according to whether one is young, middle-aged, or a little older. Even if one is young, it is very good if one can do the exercises well. There are those who can lie down and go, and do this and that. That is good for the young. But I said to myself, "That exercise..." I made a video about this. Did you see it? It was at the United Nations. My disciple there is a very great person, very great. He is Indian but now lives in America, near the United Nations, and he is a very spiritual person. I told him I would give him an exercise because he could not do this and that. So, this machine which is going here, it goes a far distance for cutting grass. Thank you very much. He said, "I will give you, that you can give me exercise, this." I said, "That’s very good." And he said, "Yes, yes, yogīs, they are yogīs." But I said, "No, we have many, and this is our yoga practice." We did it all very well. It was at a United Nations program, with people there. This is exactly what we did, and what we do today. So we stand up. That’s very nice. We are okay. What do we do if we go like this? It’s only for our bird. So we should feel. It should go like this. No. And in this posture, you know what is being here. It comes together. Let’s say we do it only five times. Then, do not go like that. Better? Yes? You can place it here. Yeah. Good? Good. This is how to begin this first. Or first this, and then second this. So, good. And if we do, there is nothing. You know, many times I told you, and you know definitely. But let’s say we hold close and only see the palm, don’t open the other hand. Beautiful, nice? Yeah? And now you will see my palm, no? Good? White? And how quickly it will come again, yeah? Huh? Yeah! So, other again, and it’s again this. And how quickly it will come. And when we do it like this, it’s not so much. So therefore, one, two, three. Not like this. So it is everything that comes still over this part of the body. And then, you could sit like I will do, or standing, okay? So we were standing, and we did this, and we could sit like this, like this, this way, or in this way. Now, you will be better, good? Yeah. Now, you know that all like this. You know, everyone, okay? Then it’s worse. Evening, when you go to sleep, then you will say, "This is also like this, but very strong." But if you do it every day, it’s good. But not like this, not like this, toes. Yes, toes. Hmm, other side. We had a breakfast. No, oh, fasting, fasting, fasting. Okay, then it’s good. Before three months, we are three months, I could only like this. Now I can come in like this, so this is that exercise. How we did very nicely, not once. If we come and said, "Oh, we will do in one month," because in one month, or not even one month, five days or six days, "I will not be eating, everything goes out and this, and oh, I’m like this," and then again we are eating. And slowly, slowly. The first was our breakfast, where we were getting a salad. Salad is the best. If we can take it like this from this, otherwise that other kind of salad is also not good. So we have to get from there, where there is a great only salad and no other, for the different part of that. But many people now do it in their own house, a little house, and they have inside different kinds of salad, enough, enough. So the salad, what I did, and I do also that different kind of grass, many, many different. And then we put some kind of seeds, and they are different kinds of seeds, about three or four. They can have it: water, watermelon, and other seeds from the other seeds. And it is, we can get it from the shop. Many people are bringing good ones, healthy ones, this one. So, this is a salad. Oh, today is something like this. Yeah, so these are little. So, take five seeds. And so, two, three different seasons and many things. But don’t put in the vegetable, which is not a sizzle, our different kind of chairs. So in the salad, we have to eat, but we have to break it. There are little seeds, but if we eat them with the salad, then the seeds will go through as they are. So, we should try to make it like this. And some little, either ghee or a little salad, with this oil. Not very much, but one spoon. And you can, if you like, add some salt. And then eat this as much as you can in the beginning, okay? And it will be very tasteful. You can also make it like a little bit of salad from the gauze, the gauze, a little milk, or the taste, a little also in this. So it is so tasteful, it is tasteful. And I will eat more of it. So very desirable. And then, when it’s full, break a little bread, half of it. And then salad after, some dal, different kinds of vegetables in the dead. And eat that until the stomach is full. Yogurt, this, but it’s too much inside. How much will you eat? Very good, tasteful. And after one, two hours, the stomach is getting a little good. So it is very good; you can eat three times. Salad and this and that. Eat little heart or little bread. You will see in one month, oh, I’m so healthy, so tasteful, and I’m going thinner and thinner. So whenever you say, "I’m hungry," you can have the fruits, no problem. Different kinds of fruits, that’s really good. And not always that milk and coffee, the area is too much. This is not too much. And so now it has become so good, very good. So these people, they are about 50 years old. Or 43, our stomach goes slowly, slowly back. So, it should be like that. Don’t eat too much butter, Bharti, or what is it, chapati, or this other, what is it you have? So don’t eat, then again quickly. Of course, we have to control ourselves. That was in this way. After this, there are other exercises coming. That is very nice. So, we sit in needle on our knees. Yeah, sit down. Yeah, very good, yes, very good. Vajrāsana, very good. Perfect. I have to control because I am so, so it is good for our. Our, yeah, and not like this standing. No, more and more like this: back and out. And now we go down and up, and hands down. One. Two. Normal breath. Hands on the floor. Hands separate. And slowly stand up, hands together. The fingers, and relax down on the thighs. Now, stand up on your knees. Stand the knees up and sit like Marjorie, and look down. And your hand, your head is up, and back down. This you all know, but slowly, not quickly. Go ahead, do it slowly. And hands up. And sit on the knees. Again, up, and hands on the floor, and make your head, your back, just like this, straight. Go a little forward, hands, yeah, that is very good. It is a little bit good technique, and it is very nice. It will be, so just yes, and come up, slowly, slowly. Go on forward, just where it was. So we can do it about 20 times, but not now. Stand up, like hands. So this is slowly, maybe. If it’s not, you cannot do, okay? Then once more. Sit there. And, yes, like this. Yes, up. So this is a little bit hard in the beginning, but it will not be so, but our vegetables are very good and very good for eating and everything. Okay, then hands up. And there. And go like up. Yeah. Yeah, go up, up, up. Yes. Yes. One. For the men, it’s not good; the girls should have. No, everybody, yes. Thank you, thank you. And lie down. Now, sit up. And now, turn to the other side and lie down. Hold your left foot with your hands, and lift your head up a little. Touch your knee and your back. The right, again, and back. Left hand and relax. Both legs up, not holding legs. Only two legs. And not on the legs. Now, it is said that these both legs will go up and down, but not touching the ground. Bend the legs after one, two, three, four, five, twenty times, and close. Relax. Now, both hands from the back down. Bend your legs, bend your legs, both legs, and get up. Legs straight down, yeah. Now, like this, go down again. Well, your knees, Timmy, yes. Hands down. That’s it. No, no, no. That’s like this. Good. Very good. Lie down on your stomach. Relax. This was about after one month, one month, this exercise. Another one is only for very soft and slow, like this exercise with the śalāt. And comfortably sit back. And sit in your posture of meditation. Hands together. Oṁ Namaḥ Siddhi Prabhūti Bhānam. Śrī Prabhupāda, Śrī Prabhupāda,... Śrī Prabhupāda.
