Part 1: Yoga in Daily Life: Humanitarian Projects and Spiritual Teachings in Krems So many points that the colorful Earth teaches are the required lecture. I wish you all the very best, a new beginning, many new insights, much strength, and abundant energy. I have not managed to accomplish what needs to be done for the time when we are no longer here, and how it will look then, I cannot foresee. But I wish you all, all the best, the new hand, much strength, much energy. Thank you. We now return to the woman, to the Bassin de Pellec, with Frau Christa. Good, first of all possible, we are very happy you have put together something very special for our women’s evening, with a lot of love. Thank you very much to the training ensemble. Mr. Fröhlich, thank you very much for your spontaneous participation. And all the best. We have a wonderful gift for you. This is a bioprotector for the brain. Oh, thank you. The children also have brains. So, please. This is a bioprotector for the brain. It bears a very special symbol. So, without a sign, there is no negative energy. I may now pass the word to Mrs. Mokhuri, my colleague. She is an independent yoga teacher in Vienna, Lower Austria, and Burgenland. She conducts seminars, courses, and specializes in Hatha Yoga. And she will now tell us a bit more about projects in India, because she has personally experienced a lot there, how all the humanitarian projects came into being. Anna Furner, we are already becoming very close. I thought, on this occasion, since we are here in Krems and only a few of us have the opportunity to travel to Rajasthan, except for a few, and if you allow me to bring a DVD, a video that shows us all the humanitarian projects. Our master, the Swāmījī, who is our spiritual head, many of us are seeing this for the first time, watching this video, this DVD, witnessing everything that is in progress, in the making, and I simply cannot put it all into words. To grasp and explain, we look at it ourselves. I might want to offer a few explanatory words about it, but I believe it doesn’t necessarily have to be presented that way. It is this project, the Maheshwarananda Research Center, Jadan, located in Rajasthan, situated between Jaipur and Jodhpur. And Svāmījī is a very, very social worker, a humanitarian worker. He is not only a monk according to the Śaṅkarācārya order, but he works very, very, very much in the field of peace, peace and plants, and we plant peace trees everywhere in the parks. And now, starting Tuesday, it is the International Day of Peace, on the 21st. There will also be a peace prayer again at the peace trees, and we will all stand up at 12 noon for two minutes for peace. And the project is Yoga in Daily Life. May we begin, please? And the first project in Rajasthan, as you know, has very, very little water; it rains very little. When, when it is like that, one can imprint well, when it rains. And so a rainwater project was also created, which collects rainwater when it rains. Please, in tone. Yes, it is actually turned up. So it is not a way around the obstacles. Can you also sense through to the exit, Papu? We now see the lineage of the masters. Swāmījī’s lineage of masters goes very, very far back, a thousand years to the Himalayas, to Mount Kailāśa. Swāmījī himself is the successor, the processor, the successful one. Not through the study we know, the study of world wars, but this blessing, the knowledge is transmitted transcendently, and one can say that Svāmījī is a relieved, an eased person, an eased incarnation. We wanted to write on the poster, on the folder, "His Holiness," but he said no, he does not want that. But he has received very, very many awards worldwide from presidents, from the Dalai Lama. I am very, very glad that he managed to come to us here in Krems. And this project also includes a hospital, which is already completed and has been opened, in an area where one has to drive two hours to reach the nearest hospital. It also includes a school, because we are currently in the music school, and surely there are quite a few teachers among us in the school. And the school in India is duly important; it is not as free as it is with us, and many children, especially the girls, cannot afford to attend school. Thus, the German yoga teachers, the German teachers, finance and support this school project in India with a small contribution, so that the child receives the schoolbooks and clothing and everything, and by now we have 700 children up to university graduation in this school. Purī Jī, Siddha Purī Jī, Siddha... Purī Jī, above all, take in the cows. So now we will see it in words; much of it is in English, but many around us understand English, and if not, a few words can be spoken in between. It takes 15 minutes, so it is not hours long. There we see Momascha, this scholar. Maheshwarananda Ashram. One needs three hours to walk all around. It is very, very large. And this is not just an hour, it is an immense experience. One has a temple, a water reservoir, and so it appears, as it is in the account. It is even on Google, you hear it, see it when you search for how to see it. And everything is otherwise, everything is measured. And as Swāmījī said, he also meditated on it for years and pursued his vision regarding this sign of the surroundings. The people who have heard with worldly measures have also agreed on a payment, as it has also provided them with an opportunity for work. And all of this is constructed according to the Vāstu Śāstra, so we call the original fault zones Vāstu Śāstra. These are the schoolchildren participants, the schoolbooks. That goes from mystery to textbook knowledge. They dedicate the year to Bavarian yoga students and to health provision. Purī Jī, Purī Jī,... Purī Jī. Creating a man is not the function of the parliament. Making a real man with full human qualities is the function only of education. So Svāmījī Mahārāj has taken a very sacred, very humble hand in his hand to provide a true education. Through true education, he aims to cultivate a balanced citizen. Paramparā, Viśokānanda Purī Jī, Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā, Viśokānanda Purī Jī, Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā, Viśokānanda Purī Jī, Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā, Viśokānanda Purī Jī, Siddha Pīṭha. In this world they experience agitation, but also they learn how to use their hands again. Rising deeply with grace, they become the greatest they can ever be. They are true sentinels, not mere sewing warriors. In the end, there is a return of what the state system is holding. The next part of the lecture is another form of free hope. During the summer and harvest time, this group intervenes up to three times a day. Once, in a matter of saving lives, property, and harvests, the crew does not know the time. Swāmījī says, helping hands have more value than folded hands. Help to have hands and to have hands. Let life be light in the sprouts of hope. The future of nature is the future of mankind. And so it is also the cultivation of the proper yoga and realization. Only one can understand movement, only one can control movement. Every movement is a kind of hunger. We only move when we have desires or fears. Only one who consciously masters the movements of the body, who masters the movements of breathing, and in most of the movements of the mind, only he or she can reach the ultimate aim of every movement. That aim is Pūrṇa, completeness, our own divine completeness, which is realized only through the movement of the mind. It looks as pleasant as one can feel it. Here, a tremendous prayer has been balanced, shattered, drilled through, and it has failed. This is called Kailaupass because it is a vast cultivation; the rainwater lies down there, and when it rains, it is designed so that the rainwater collects and flows into it. The entire distance is so charged. Huge basin. This year, nothing is open there, everything is just filled up to a few meters. This initiative was an officially recognized project at the United Nations 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development. This lake has the capacity to hold 250,000... From the house above, the mountain was created. From the outer islands, which were also limited, the spaces where it extends are... Amitābha, Amitābha,... The entire Ashram construction, our 24-hour computers. That always means our legs, which know exactly how it should be, how it looks. This is a machine that it has not had. Now, in the year 2003, as we have read, in the year 2003, and again in 2007, drought is a blessing. Drought is an act of people, of bones, and of animals. When the clouds disperse, the water rises to meet them. This is the first verification of the rain harvesting project. The water flows straight into the lake. The blood of life has been harvested. This is now a reservoir of life, not only for the Āśrama, but also for many religions in this thirsty region. Now is the right time to reforest the hill; the hill will support the tree, and the tree will support the hill. This is the symbiosis of sustainable development. During this round, the Firefighters League of the Ashram regularly participates in a water supply scheme for many villages in the vast surrounding area. For this movement, this water will connect their own lives. This center offers a number of possibilities, not only for humanitarian work, but also to work on ourselves. But to fulfill the center itself, it requires much support. Everyone, every idea, and every contribution are welcome. There is nothing present here. To be present physically, mentally, and spiritually, and one could say, this is—many of us know our dear Irene Seiner, we have a yoga teacher who teaches on the street, who was called for the course, especially when traveling with Svāmījī, Ashram and the ashrams, there are several of them, one could say, are a spiritual rehabilitation; physically it may be demanding, Rajasthan is a land that challenges in its own way, Mahāprabhudīp Karatā Mahāprabhudīp Karatā... To the villages that one travels to and otherwise does not reach, the ones one visits only with Svāmījī—when you see the people there and look into their eyes, you can almost see that each one of them is a saint. There are villages where you are not even allowed to cut down a tree because the tree has such a nerve. For generations and generations, never was an animal killed there. To see these villages, to see the people and to live with them, to eat there and to be there—that I have not seen. And so I would now like to study Swamījī Bittner with these words, because I say, we still have time. And Swāmījī is a master this year. I am a supplicant. But I loved him so much. So now we are going to the Sinjon, but I don’t know if the Master is going to the Sinjon. And I must say, today we are being broadcast worldwide; it’s like Kassi—if you go live under Yoga in Delhi, under WBW Samjī TV, then you can watch the whole thing again, and it’s not just... around Australia and America, many of our yoga friends are watching, and we see each other and we know, we are like to greet all Yoga-Friends around the world. In our small but profound town of Krems in the beautiful Wachau, I can say there are many, many disciples of Svāmījī who are practicing yoga in their lives; they are here practicing without, without us even knowing, a great deal of yoga is being practiced here. And I would really like to ask Sanchi now to come in and begin his lecture with us. It is about the cakras and kuṇḍalinī, and perhaps a few words so that we also understand what cakras mean. Cakras are specific energy centers where our bodies, where a very strong energy converges and circulates. Amitābha Amitābha... And illustrate that we receive a smoke of knowledge and, above all, what is also important, to have one’s Tārṣa, as they say, to see it once and get to know who it is, who has actually established it in daily life, and what it looks like and how it speaks. He and what he is like, and I must say, it has now been 35 years in Vienna, in Austria, where it originated, at the Wiener, at the Joghurtzeiten Yoga Center in Chittanegarha Street, the eternal light, which is the first place. One can also look there, one can go to this yoga center of the soul, and there yoga is truly lived. And now I would like to pass on to our Anakula, and she will say a few welcoming words to us. I can already stop with the greeting. With the greeting, I wanted to convey the warm trembling. Heartfelt thanks, dear Oma Puri, for the beautiful stories and words. Perhaps for three minutes we can call out completely openly to all the cakras that are opening. Then I will continue to share that as well. We have the feeling that we must raise this curtain, because otherwise a skull is the picture. So we would certainly need some dirt that can shake us one evening in the sun. Perhaps I can share a little more about Svāmījī. He is also from Rajasthan. He is Viennese, but he is called the Viennese Swāmījī. I believe, I believe, he is the most Viennese Viennese... I do not know what else I should tell you. He is a master, a master yogi, a monk. He is a constant wanderer, just as the monastic order requires. To stay in one place for a maximum of five days—and he has truly done this throughout his entire life. And I have the great fortune of being able to travel with him once. We have many yoga centers worldwide, so if you travel or go on a world tour, you can visit yoga centers everywhere—in America, Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand—and stay there to practice yoga for a while. And everyone is welcome to come to India, to Ghana, to help there physically, no matter the profession, how do you say, training, whatever occupation one has, all are welcome. And also to practice yoga there mentally, to study, to learn, and to stay there for a while. And for me, my doll is now done. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is a beautiful painter. My name is Swāmījī. Praṇām. We warmly welcome you here in Krems. We are all very happy that you have made this long journey. We always want to go to Europe, but we also say to ourselves, let’s go out to Krems, so that we can all learn from you personally. Many of those who are here practice yoga, many who live here may have started practicing years ago. And a warm welcome. And we warmly welcome our state parliament member for Verleistung, Ingeborg Linke. We are very happy that you are spending this evening with us today. We are very pleased that you have accepted this invitation. And I must say, Krems is such a beautiful city, and ever since we have been practicing life together here logically, it has been wonderful every time and with wonderful people. And thank you for allowing us to be here with you today. I will now pass the floor to our lady mayor. A most beautiful good evening. I am very happy to have been invited here. Great honored guests, my esteemed ladies and gentlemen, all have come with great anticipation to hear something here about Yoga, especially directly from the specialist. And therefore I will gladly speak many words, for I myself am curious to hear what I may receive. In complete calm, in a slowing down that benefits us all, taking a step back. This very city shows so much pace and so much learning, but sometimes it feels good to spend an evening together. And I am delighted that this evening has been organized so wonderfully. I am delighted that this beautiful music school was chosen for this. A beautiful space that offers so much spirit, space, and music. Let us reflect back on this evening. I look forward to your words. A warm welcome to you all. Thank you. Thank you. I would like a small change. My seat. Maybe a little bit backward so that I can see it. Could you all raise it a little bit? Is that okay? Please. So, I will begin by singing the mantra, starting with the mantra. Oṃ Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ... Salutation to the Cosmic Light, Lord of our Hearts, Omniscient and Omnipresent, in Divine Presence of the Cosmic Self. Good evening, dear brothers and sisters and highly esteemed Madam Mayor, Principal and also the organizers, thank you for a lovely invitation. I am pleased to be here and to give a lecture for the first time in this beautiful state. I have driven by several times, and people have already turned around and said, who is driving there, dressed in such an orange robe. Perhaps by going through this beginning, I have created some karma. And this karma is that I had to come here. Exactly, not just passing by. But it is beautiful karma. Śikṣāl, okay, Destiny, in the principles or philosophy of Karma it is said, wherever you breathe once, you must come again to repay, and that is that. But it is beautiful, isn’t it? And I have often seen it myself from my own Self, somewhere in the world, where I was, and stopped in a state or drank tea or drank water or simply breathed a little. After some time, a yoga center stood there. Yes, truly. Especially a great deal in Czechoslovakia, because I traveled there so much. And also in the Waldviertel. So, but it is beautiful. I am very happy to see all of you this evening. And thank you. And you have great expectations, but I am nervous about that. So maybe a little, not such great expectations. She is willing. Accept me also as a normal human being, okay? Today I will not levitate. That is clear. Because otherwise I have to come back again. I like to come, but the time is like this. Yoga is well known. All over the world, every person knows the word Yoga. So yoga has become international. And every fifth person in the entire world practices yoga, practicing some form of yoga. That also includes the other practices that come from China or Japan. Yoga is one of the oldest systems or sciences. Yoga is a science of the body, mind, and soul. There are three main principles. One is called the blazing, endless space. We do not know where space begins and where space ends. We really do not know. There are some people sitting there on the floor. Perhaps you can come here, to the front, please. I warmly invite you all, please. Yes, come, Father. You don’t have to sit on the floor. Yes, boys, girls. Come. Yes. Yes, please. Exactly. Warnson, Danson. More comfortable. Sitting up here, sitting there, everywhere. Okay? That is easy. More comfortable. There as well. On the steps. Yes. Very good. Now nothing will move. That is good. There are still two little girls sitting there. Come. Yes. Like this. Very nice. Can you sit right up there, okay? Alright, very good. Alright, so let us return to our topic. Endless space, Ananta Brahmāṇḍa, infinite space, Ākāśa, heaven or the sky, the space, endless space. Second, consciousness, divine consciousness, pure consciousness, and consciousness is also infinite. But consciousness is within space. There is no space within consciousness, but the first line of consciousness is within space. Yet then there is unity. Consciousness in space, space in consciousness. And it is somewhat like the womb and the embryo. So the mother is space. And between the two, space and consciousness, there is an energy. They connect, hold together, harmonize, unite. And this energy or principle is called Yoga. Yoga means to hold together, to unite. And in Sanskrit, in the Vedas, it is called Hiraṇyagarbha. The golden egg, or golden embryo, and so on—all of this is still within these golden eggs for a few more months. Then comes the east, here an eastern egg, and they come from these Vedas, the brains of the tanners, the golden egg. Part 2: The Path of Yoga: From Cosmic Sound to Self-Realization Now energy is once again unity. In divine consciousness, a movement takes place. And what we say in India, in the Vedas, is that the cosmic consciousness as God, who is above all, has not yet taken form. He says, Eko'ham bahusyāmi — I am one, but now I will multiply. I will multiply. This is called divine will; what we say, Lord, your will is seen. But why does He have a will? What does He need? He has everything. But this is a play within consciousness, a cosmic play. And so, between the two — space and consciousness — energy moves in resonance: sound. Sound. And so it is said, Nādarūpa Parabrahma — Sound is the highest Self. And the world is the sound. Everything comes from sound. And we continue deeper into sound. And this sound in the Vedas or Upaniṣads, we always say Oṁ, as I sang before. And the sound of Oṁ harmonizes and is also the cause and beginning of creation. It means Anant Brahmāṇḍa Śastra Sūryas — ultimately the universe and thousands of solar systems. Everything was created from a sound. And this sound is called Yoga. Now we come to our planet. And on our planet, five elements are alive: space, air, water, earth, and fire. And on our planet, we are all here, and within us exist the five elements. Now, these five elements are held together by an energy called Yoga, just as two bricks are bound or held together by cement. And now this clan moves in energy as breath force, the quality of life, prāṇa. And on this planet, the Creator has produced or created 8.4 million different species of living beings. And these 8.4 million live like a wheel — a wheel, the wheel of life, coming and going. And this is an eternal wheel: death and birth and death. Many people believe in nothing, and that’s alright. Many do not believe that the sun is already setting here in Krems. The sun has already set. And many still believe nothing, because they see a video of daylight and say, “The sun is still shining in Krems.” But that was already. Believing or not believing does not alter reality or truth. So, whether I believe or I believe nothing, it is. And so, I asked, and I also ask you: do you believe in the recycling system? Yes? There is a lot of talk about environmentally friendly papers and this and that, recycling. And so this is cosmic recycling. The soul comes and goes, comes and goes — the energy recycling. Many did not believe anything, they produced plastic bags or boxes, and now we think, “Oh God, this is not environmentally friendly.” And so, people do not believe in rebirth; the time will come, either at the end of life or then. “Oh God, I never believed that I would have another life. If I had believed that, I would have practiced Yoga to liberate myself.” So it is. So, we imagine a council that has 8.4 million points, and there is a door where one can step out. And this is a human life. If we miss that, then one does not know how many points we had to repeat. Humans have something special that God has given them: an intellect, a mind. And through our intellect, we can decide and take action. And so, living beings are divided into three types: Jalchar, Talchar, Nabchar — the beings in water, on Earth, and in space. But we all have our destinies. No matter what we do — humans and animals — it comes back. It must be repeated. It must be repaid. I have breathed here in this stage, in Krems, while driving, stopped for a moment, and… realized I am here. And so it is. Now, one inhalation per person, as I said. I have already repaid everything, but it may be that I will come again if the lady mayor is satisfied with my account and you are as well. Now let us move forward, leaving everything aside, and turn to the human being. So this is the only purpose of our birth or being born or coming into a human form: Self-realization. Who am I? Ko'haṁ katham idaṁ jātaṁ, ko vā kartāsya vidhātā. This has been said in the Upaniṣads and in literatures that are thousands of years old. And I believe it is also somewhere in the Bible, the question: Who am I? Where do I come from? Why have I come? And where will I go? So, who am I? I am not this Mr. Walter or Müller or Ingrid or Gertrude or so on, Elfriede or so. I am not this body, not blood, not bones, not diligence; I am not thoughts, my mind, feelings, intellect — but I am. But who am I? And sometimes it’s a little bit strange. The Self seeks the Self. But we are the ones who seek. No matter what people think, everyone is seeking themselves. Self-realization means God-realization. Know yourself, then you will know who God is. If you have not realized it yourself, you also know nothing about what God is. We know God only from stories. We know God only from reading. Have we seen God? We have not even seen a true image of God. So perhaps God is completely different from what we have imagined. And therefore it is better that we open our third eye. And opening the third eye means wisdom, knowledge. Knowledge for three times: past, present, and future. We are working on it. Only in human life can we realize this. But our life is very short, with many obstacles and illnesses. The thought was, the question was how we can live long. Long life means health. Now the question is, how should we live healthily? First and foremost, wholesome nourishment. When I first came to Austria, 38 years ago, here in the Waldviertel region, in October, late October or so, the very first thing I enjoyed was the chatter, the sweet chatter drifting down from the trees. Because in Rajasthan, where I come from, there was no idle chatter. Flowers, right? Do you say Schwetschkele or flowers? Schwetschkele. Schwetschkele, exactly. Thank you. And so, back then there was absolutely no question of whether it was biological. And when someone asked if it was organic vegetables, he said, “What, please?” And did he say, “Pardon?” And now, each of us knows whether this is a biological vegetable or fruit or nothing. So in these four decades, how much have we poisoned our planet. So healthy food, and the second was movement. And third, society. Healthy family relationships. Harmony in families. It was so wholesome and so clear that hardly anyone went to a disco in the evening, because at home it was so beautiful. And now there is always a bit of quarrel at home, and the children don’t want that and go out in the evenings. So, a healthy atmosphere, a healthy society, healthy food, and healthy movement. And in movement, we have also prescribed certain exercises in Yoga — for breathing, for muscles, for the nervous system, for glands, hormones, and so on, for digestion. Through this, we remain healthy. And then came concentration and meditation. And meditation is not something only in India, but throughout the whole world. In every ashram, which here is called a monastery, and we say ashram, the people went to the monastery for a week or a month and fasted and meditated there. That is excellently done. And through that, the monastery soup has become well known, so that everyone could go there, receive soup, and meditate. On meditation. And the question arose: how can I solve my problems? How can I overcome my bad karma? The best way is to pray. A person cannot forgive us, and a person cannot promise us anything. The eventual human will disappoint us in no way. But God, the omnipresent Lord, will surely hear our prayers and will surely possess us. He is the one who can forgive our fault, namely our sins. And the God — what is called, there is only one God — and He has no form. He sees us, He hears us, He is beside us, but our physical eyes or physical body, nose cannot smell, our ears cannot hear His voice. But He sees everything. Now, there is God. And so, through the practice of Yoga, one finds the path to oneself, which also means the path to every living being, not just humans, and can lead one’s life in harmony, in beautiful bliss. And so Yoga in Daily Life, what we or you practice here, is a system — very systematic, slow. Many people think that Yoga means a headstand or a lotus position. And in the beginning, I had come to Austria and given lectures. After the lecture, I usually ask if you have any questions, and you say yes, and “Can you sit on the nail bed? Is this very hard, Master?” So, I said, I have never seen anything on the nail bed. So, it was a wrong attitude towards Yoga. Or the people said, “Well, we cannot keep our feet here and bring them to the ear like this,” and so on. I have said, that is not important either. Yoga is a very beautiful, gentle, and lighter practice. And when one practices for many, many years — these are young people — they can perform some difficult exercises. But it does not have to be. It is also possible without any obstacle. One must use true understanding. And this is in Yoga in Daily Life, slow and simple movements, but it has much power and signifies our strength. Egg experiment? I believe that here, my people do not understand the word jealousy. No one is jealous, right? Yes, my God, jealousy. Ignorance. So all of these arise from ignorance. Hatred, greed, anger, jealousy — all of these arise from ignorance. And simultaneously, this process is unfolding within us. One is so jealous and gets offended so quickly. And how quickly offended? Like popcorn on a hot pan. It happens that quickly. And I experienced this especially in Austria because I had no patience. On the one hand, it is good to let everything balance out, to keep the valves open, but on the other hand, love, understanding, clarity, forgiveness, and compassion — they are the most beautiful qualities we humans possess as well. Now, these hidden forces within humans are, on one side, the five negative qualities, and on the other side, the five good qualities. And now, we should try to purify the negative qualities through our good qualities, or diminish them a little, very slowly. Our consciousness has several levels, and the first level can be called unconsciousness, the level of the unconsciousness, and that is what we have here, that is also what has been created — these are the cakras. Have you already seen it? Very good. This is where our life begins. There lies the boundary between animal and human consciousness. Here is the boundary. Below is the animalistic, above is the human. And here sits ignorance. This means that our Sikṣāl, Qismat — good luck and bad luck, fortune and misfortune — lie here. So, we do not know who has how much fortune and who has how much misfortune. When this cakra opens, it is as if someone opens a door and says, “Look, gentlemen, here is your matter.” So, when you open the door, perhaps there are snakes and crocodiles and so on lying there. Or there are beautiful things, truly beautiful. So, this is our past from a previous life. Then comes the second stage, the cakra that was the state, and there lies our past from this life. And indeed, in fact, hour by hour, second by second, we as astral beings, the entities from the astral planes, together with the help of the water element, from the space, have made our journey towards this planet. This is the moment of our true birth on this physical planet. That means, we were not yet together in the father’s body. Before we begin, as we enter this room, in the atmosphere, all around us from this planet with the water element. From this moment, how was it? How did our journey begin from the astral planes to now these physical planes? What was the cause? What inspired us again there? Or who was it that has led us to victory in this direction? Our Sikṣāl. What is our Sikṣāl? Sikṣāl is the fruit or effect of our actions. Where the lizards are, there are the lizards, and where the lizards are, there are the lizards. Which lizards or reptiles have inspired us to come to this element, the water element, and through air and fire we return again to this planet, plants or earth, and so on, and then migrate into the body. And after some time, it begins to develop within us like an embryo or a baby in eggs, life emerging from the fluid. So, from that moment we had come down from the highest, from the astral plane to this planet, from that instant until now. Our past time lies here in the Svādhiṣṭhāna-Cakra. So, experiences during pregnancy, how the mother was, happy or sad, how the father’s relationship was with the mother — and everything is here in our subconscious. Yes, subconscious. And now this is being explained here psychologically. “Oh, you are sad, you are in pain, you are afraid, it is psychological.” But what is a psychic? Well, that is from the past, from my mother, from childhood. Yes, but what is that? Many of us have beautiful experiences in life. And unfortunately, there are also some who have not been able to overcome them to this day. And this past is always alive. We will forgive, but we will forget nothing. And as long as we do not awaken these cakras through meditation and mantras, we must live this painful life — and not only in this life, but we will carry it along with us. That means, let us try to forgive, let us try to send positive thoughts. Let’s try to say, okay, it was. It was, and back then I was very small. But now I am independent, I am grown, and nothing will happen to me anymore. And through this, I no longer need anything else. Yes, it was when I was in Africa in the jungle and suddenly a lion ran behind me. And thank God, I saw a tree and climbed up the tree. It will never happen again. But now I was in the Kremswald, it is happening. There is no lion, children. You can calmly search for Swāmījī. And thus we overcome our fear. So many things — that was just one example. Yes, then our reactions come, emotional reactions. And that is where our navel comes into play. Our energy centers, Hara. And this is the Maṇipūra Cakra here, the third cakra. And everything we experience presses on our solar plexus. And our life begins from our navel center. Just like a womb, we are connected to the mother’s body through our navel. So this is the access, this is the tunnel. Then comes the heart. The heart also has its own energies. Emotions are below. That was then the cakra. Then it comes into the mind and then reflects in the heart. Then comes the Viśuddhi Cakra here in the throat. Yes, all that we have swallowed down — the good and the bad. Often one had to swallow it down. And now I can no longer. And some people even become afraid and suddenly cannot speak. This is the center. And there is meditation for all centers, for mudrās, bandhas, āsanas. This book on Yoga in Daily Life also covers chakras and exercises. And for all these cakras, the exercises are already included. Yes, then come these five cakras — five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether. The five cakras belong to human consciousness. They are still mixed with animals, animal consciousness, or animal energy. Sometimes people react and behave like an animal. Then comes the Ājñā Cakra, here where you see the full moon, the third eye. Do you see the third eye in me? You have not opened it yet, but I have. And there lies the boundary between divine consciousness and human consciousness. And this is the Ājñā Cakra, and from here we begin spiritual development, the true one. And then comes nectar, immortality, realization in these cakras. And then the soul liberates itself into infinity. Śoṣakti, energy, united with Śiva, the consciousness. Energy realized in consciousness — that means complete liberation. And so, all the chakras in this chart, which we pressed ten years ago, I don’t know where they suddenly come from today. And so, all the beautiful cakras, right? My God, I could go into advertising media. Okay. And so, about all these cakras written here in this book, the hidden cancer of humans. So, it would be good if you read this book first, or another book, please, a Chakra book, and then ask me. As long as you have not read anything, how many chakras are there? Eight. Read the entire book eight times. Yes, it is interesting, and each time a new little bit, a new answer, comes forth. And after the eighth time, I believe you will no longer come to me, because the questions have already been answered. It is so beautiful. So, we have strength within us. Your yoga teachers — I don’t know if there are any teachers here as well, mostly it’s women here — but there is one teacher, thank God. So, the Umapurī and the Annapūrṇā, and they are like this, please? Irene Radka, exactly, they conduct yoga classes with such great love, devotion, and compassion. They have surely told you many things. And the practices — each practice generates within us a beautiful energy, positive energy. So, the most important thing for us is to solve a problem or to achieve something. One thing we must do is change our thoughts. An alcoholic has problems at home with children, with women, with others, but he cannot stay without drinking. One day, he said to himself, enough, no more. I do not want to stay in the wine region; I am going to the forest region. And thus change your thoughts. Better a good water from the Waldviertel, right? So thinking. The power of thought is so strong. If someone studies and wants to become something, then decide and envision what you want, which profession. And then send the thoughts very clearly in that direction. You will succeed. And your trials will pass accordingly. Otherwise, one is afraid of the tests. If you tremble, what do you do? You take the test. But I forgot, yes. Where were you in the evening? In the hall. Was the hall a school? No. So, we are going to the wrong place. The student must go to the school. Go home and once again do the schoolwork, homework, and then go back to school. That is so. Nowadays there are so many disturbances, many, many disturbances, that the students cannot concentrate. But those who seriously reflect and put a thought into it, “I want to achieve that,” it will work. And so in Yoga Nidrā there is a Saṅkalpa, an intention. And repeat three times, then practice Yoga Nidrā. At the end, again. And this saṅkalpa goes deep into the subconscious, removing negative energy and infusing positive energy, through which Lera gives guidance during Yoga Nidrā. And so it is also in meditation, such a beautiful meditation to sit in the evening and relax. So now we will do a little meditation. Good idea? Okay. Not too long. I already know that it is so exhausting for everyone. So please hold the two fingers, the index finger and the thumb, together. These are energy centers. When I go to the dentist, if the dentist does not give a tip, then I hold these mudrās. And I press very firmly on this side with my thumbs and nails. And do I not feel there because I feel here close by. Thank you for watching. Slowly move your head. Bend your head forward. Bend your navel or belly. And slowly lift your head up. And bend towards the ceiling. In the direction of the stomach or belly again. And up. In the middle. Bend your head to the right. And to the left. Make a fist in the center, to the right and to the left, and then open the palms again. Make a fist once more and open the palms. Fold the hands together, rub the palms, and place the hands on the face. Gently massage the muscles a little and open the eyes. That was for today. Hari Om.
