Place one hand on the chest. Now, try to breathe what we call the yogic breath. First, inhale into the stomach. Then, into the chest. Exhale from the chest, then from the stomach. Go ahead. Those who are standing, direct the people coming to this side, near here. Please sit here. Some should stay there and direct them to this side. Inhale into the stomach, then the chest. Exhale from the chest, then from the stomach. Perhaps try to inhale and exhale as in Ujjāyī Prāṇāyāma. Try to listen to your own breath. Relax completely. Body straight, lying on the ground. Do not breathe too much, otherwise you create stress again. About fifteen breaths, then place your hands down on the ground. Feel your breath like waves, very calm and nice—waves on the sea. Inhaling from the abdomen, slowly ascend the breath consciousness to the throat, and then slowly descend. First, exhale from the chest, then from the stomach. Do not create stress. Let your breath flow very naturally. After eleven rounds, you will place your hands beside the body. And without the help of the hands, breathe five times again with the same technique. Yogic breath: one inhale and exhale is one round. The one who is coughing can sit up, please. Is it Diwali? Come here. Give a little tea—warm tea. Come. To get it, the bar is to drink it, okay? Now, bend your knees. Place the soles of your feet on the ground, hands beside the body, parallel to it. Your knees may touch together or be a little separate, as you like. Make sure your whole back is very flat on the ground. There should be no hollow under the back. Now, again, the yogic breath. Inhale fast into the stomach, then into the chest; exhale from the chest, then from the stomach. A little deeper than normal breath. Now, as in Yoga Nidrā, concentrate on the ascending and descending breath. When you inhale, the breath rises up from the abdomen to the throat. And when you exhale, it falls from the throat to the stomach. When you exhale, the breath falls from the chest to the abdomen. Take the navel as the center of the abdomen. Imagine that you have a nice bowl on the navel, filled with water—not a balloon, a bowl. When you inhale, it rises up because the stomach is expanding. When you exhale, it sinks down again. But not a drop of the water falls out. This means a balanced breath. Listen to your breath sound. Let your breath flow very relaxed, very close, but a little deeper than normal. Keep your legs relaxed. Your feet are a little apart. Your knees are touching together so that you are relaxed, with ascending and descending breath. Now, in this position, we will do one kriyā which also belongs to the group of Kriya Yoga, and you can do it if you like. It is called Prāṇa Sañcalana Kriyā. Prāṇa, as we spoke this morning, is the life force, life energy, the vitality, the source of life. Sañcalana means to direct, to guide the breath or the prāṇa through the whole body. So, Prāṇa Sañcalana Kriyā. Now concentrate only on your navel. Feel the expansion and contraction of the stomach with a very beautiful rhythm. Only observe the breath in the stomach. Feel the expansion and contraction of the stomach with a natural, normal breath. The middle point is the navel. This Kriyā will give you immense energy and vitality. It is called the self-healing process or program. Now imagine a beautiful small lake, very calm, with very clean water. It is imagination. Now you take a little stone, like the size of a cherry, and you throw it in the middle of the lake. What do you see? The waves are developing—beautiful, like a circle, a round circle. Not like a triangle. One after another, waves are moving. Now, imagine this picture on your stomach. Concentrate at the navel. When you inhale and exhale in the same way, you are creating waves of energy. And you mentally repeat the mantra "Rām." That is a Bīja mantra of the Maṇipūra Chakra. It creates warmth. It creates energy. It purifies all the blood cells, and it gives new prāṇa in the body. That is the junction of the prāṇa and apāna. That is the middle point of your life; it is the beginning of your life; it is the source of your life, the foundation of your life, and there is the life energy. And so from there, the prāṇa is directed into the whole body. Prāṇa Sañcalana Kriyā. You may do this for ten minutes every day. It will remove a lot of stomach problems. It will help your digestion, and it is very good for calming your nervous system. This Prāṇa Sañcalana Kriyā will make you free from fear, or what you call it when someone is scared about something. There are many causes of fears, and all these fears that we have attack our Maṇipūra Chakra. This Prāṇa Sañcalana Kriyā with the Bīja Mantra "Rām" will free you from fear. So, all these waves of energy, prāṇa, are covering the whole body. The middle point is the navel. At the time of inhalation, expand your stomach. At the time of exhalation, the stomach goes down, and this wave goes through the whole body. Beautiful. Inhale "Ra," exhale "ṁ." So slowly. As long a breath as you are taking, slowly, "Raṁ." Ascending, the breath, "rā"; descending, "rā." Mentally, keep your body relaxed. At the time of inhalation, the Maṇipūra Chakra, which is receiving immense cosmic energy called prāṇa, receives an enormous amount of cosmic energy. It is also a very good purification of your solar plexus. It is a very good breathing exercise for digestion and problems of the pancreas. Go ahead. With each breath, at the time of inhalation, cosmic light enters your body. At the time of exhalation, all kinds of toxins are exhaled through your body. Feel relaxed. Kriyā Prāṇa Sañcalana. Very good. Now stretch your legs and turn over onto your stomach for half Bhujaṅgāsana, which means looking toward me. Just turn and support your chin with your hands, like this—Māgasana. Observe the demonstrator. Gopāl Purī, please come here. Those far behind who cannot see can sit up so you can see. On the back, yes. Without a shirt, yes. Now you see, he is already levitated. He practiced so nicely, correctly. Now you see, he is already above the ground—40 cm above the ground. So, yogic breath: deep inhale and exhale. Place both your hands—the left on the chest and the right on the navel—so that they can see the movement of your hands. So, did you all like that? Ano, dobře. Good. Then, Prāṇa Sañcalana Kriyā. And hands beside the body. You know, these spiritual kriyās have a very great effect on our body. Now, people who are standing very far behind can come to this side—only those who are very far behind. Nobody will be angry with you. Why are you always sitting in the front? So, come here to this side. Now, prāṇa is cosmic light. Prāṇa is cosmic energy. Prāṇa is life force. Prāṇa is the life of your soul. Where there is the soul, there is prāṇa, and where there is prāṇa, there is the soul. The soul is like a bulb, and prāṇa is the energy—that electricity which gives the light, life to the bulb. And the bulb, which is capable of producing or radiating this light—similarly, the soul is that bulb, and prāṇa is that light energy. So without prāṇa, the soul cannot do. And so it is said that even if the energy is there, the connection is there, but the bulb is fused. Similarly, the soul is there, but the body is not there. So prāṇa is there, the soul is there, but the body is not there. So all these three have very close relations. Sañcalana means distributing, or spreading, or guiding, directing. So, you inhale and exhale and imagine a spiral. The waves go through the whole body, and the middle point is the navel. According to the science of Kuṇḍalinī and Chakras, every chakra has a Bīja mantra. The Bīja mantra means the seed; Bīja is a seed. Seed means the origin; seed means the essence. So the essence or the seed of the Maṇipūra Chakra is called "Raṁ." This mantra means the resonance. That resonance keeps our particular area healthy. So, Maṇipūra Chakra’s Bīja mantra is "Raṁ." Or, Dr. Śāntī, is it "rum" or "rām"? Rum? Yes. You like rum? In German they say "rum." Best part: cream, yogurt, no? Sour rum. But this is a sweet "Rām." So this is Kriyā Prāṇa Sañcalana Kriyā. When this center is relaxed and energy begins to flow automatically, fear goes away. And your old blood cells, the body cells, the body systems, the organs, are recharged with that cosmic energy called Prāṇa. The prāṇa is that energy which is balancing all the planets in the universe. Prāṇa is the energy that sustains all the planets in the universe. It is prāṇa that keeps the entire universe healthy. And therefore, it is said in the mantra of peace that even in the atmosphere there should be peace, in the ākāśa, in the Brahman. Because if peace is there in the universe, far, far away, that peace will influence us also. And if there is some kind of disturbance, a bad constellation of the planets, then this disturbs our planet and our body too, our mind also. So, we are a part of the universe, and this endless universe. Hardly are we visible there. I do not know how big a magnified glass we need on a telescope for them to see there is something, what we call a human. Sometimes it is nothing, but it is there, something. And there is your Ātmā, your Jīvātmā, and there is your individual phenomenon. And this is connected with the entire universe’s activities. The universe is functioning, the planets are functioning, the earth is functioning, the earth works. Similarly, our body is working: organs, nerves, glands, blood circulation, everything is working in the body. And thanks to God, it is working. Where it will not work, then we will be under the earth, or if we are lucky, on the fire, so very soon it will be Śūnya Loka, Nirākāra, immediately. Within no time, you become Nirākāra. Ākāra to Nirākāra. But from Nirākāra to become again Sākāra takes time, so Mother Nature has to work hard and place every chakra, every gland, every organ, everything in the right place. If they were placed in the wrong places, oh God, that would be a big problem. So the kidneys in the brain... and the brain in the kidney plant, no? Who knows? Then it will have a different function. So, thanks to Mother Nature, thanks to God, perfectly. And therefore, the chakra is the resonance. And there, in this resonance, is the mantra, sound. So therefore, "Rāma" is resonance. And so, Prāṇa-Sañcalana Kriyā is very healthy for you, and it will give you immense happiness. And first of all, it will release the anxiety. All right? So now you can sit up. Gopāl, thank you. So now you remember, this morning we spoke about Prāṇa Ādhāra. Prāṇa Ādhāra means the source of our prāṇa. That is spiritual prāṇa. And now this prāṇa can be polluted through negative energy. You have a beautiful room, very nicely aired, now very good air inside. Everything is very good. And now you put inside a spoiled fish in the morning. Lock the room and go to work. And when you come home and you open your room, how will you feel? The room was clean and had a good atmosphere, good air, but that spoiled fish spoiled the whole air. Similarly, there is prāṇa; you have good prāṇa, but as soon as you have negative thoughts within you, negative qualities, then that good energy is suffering, and good cells are suffering. So, spirituality means that you keep clean. Do not let your thoughts be involved in jealousy, in ego, in greed, pride, attachment, anger, and so on. These are the causes of our unhappiness, so renounce them. Try to renounce all negative thoughts and feelings. Take it as it is and understand. It is like that, but I do not want to be involved in this thought. So society, the place, and Kāla have a great meaning for your existence. Tuto kriyā Prāṇa Sañcalana tak, jak jsme ji praktikovali. So, today is enough for this evening. And we have fifteen minutes still. If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask, please. Oh, I am very proud of... Look, you see, this is ego. That is so nicely explained, so no question. Or it was not at all understandable, so you do not know what to say. Let us say there is one question, but she did not dare to ask. She is pregnant. Can she do this Prāṇa Sañcalana Kriyā? I would say the Prāṇa Sañcalana Kriyā for a pregnant woman is a blessing. That child will get very good positive energy, prāṇa. And already in the mother’s body, that child will become, or at least it will become easier for the child to get rid of past karmas. And the birth will be very easy. So pregnant women can do it several times a day. That is very, very good. In this Prāṇa Sañcalana Kriyā, you can do it in two postures: either lying on the back with the body straight and legs straight, or with the knees bent. So for pregnant women or expecting mothers, you should do this with bent knees. Legs apart, and knees slightly supporting each other, or you have to put some support. It depends on which month you are. Then, of course, you should not bend your knees to press; do not press your thighs together. So, you know how to find your comfortable position. Today, you received Prāṇa Sañcalana Kriyā. You can practice, or you do not want to practice your things. Any questions? Yes, Sādhvī Śāntījī. Sitting will not have such a good effect. No, then it is only yogic breath. Then it is Prāṇāyāma. Okay, any more? Who has questions? Stand up, please. Yes, Diwali. Yes, it is already given. The question was, can we, meaning all who are here now, give this Kriyā further to others? Now, the answer is this: since we are on the webcast, we have given it to thousands of people already. So it is not a secret. It is for the well-being of everyone. And a good thing is good for everyone. Yes, you can. Stand up. Can children practice it, and from what age? It depends on how peaceful they are. But they can do? Ale můžou. Okay. Is it one wave while inhaling and the second wave while exhaling? Yes. Or is it a series of waves while breathing? It is a series of waves continuing. Each inhalation and exhalation is creating the waves. In inhalation, he inhales the energy, prāṇa; exhaling, he distributes it into the body. So, Prāṇa Sañcalana. So there are two kinds of prāṇa; it is very important. One is from the air, and the second is a solid. Hmm, hmm. Not only so, but hmm, hmm. So I wish you a good appetite. And remember this: Prāṇa Sañcalana Kriyā, yogic breath. And tomorrow, after this dinner, we will have another satsaṅg with bhajan translation. And the program begins in one and a half hours, in the same space, a little bit shifted there. It is healthy for people to work. So today we were in another location, that is called Bola Guda Hall. Bola Guda location, no? Very good. So, good appetite. Deep Namah and Bhagavān make you Dev Purīṣa Mahādeva Dharma Samrāṭ Satguru Svāmī Madhavān Jī Bhagavān Kī. Om Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ...
