The spot on the forehead is the symbol of the third eye. The third eye signifies wisdom. Lord Śiva is known as the one with the third eye. When He opens His third eye, everything is burned. Everything is destroyed. What does burning mean? All negative energy, everything is burned. Only purity remains. That is what I mean: the wisdom that opens the third eye. All your karmas will be burned, and everything becomes pure. We have four eyes. One is in the heart, one is in the Ājñā Cakra, and two are these physical eyes. Whatever you decide and whatever you do, you should open all four and look carefully, and then do it. You can also have a black tilak, but they are not long, one round one. That’s called Divine Mother Kālī, her energy, and it is impossible for any negative energy to come near. She is very powerful. You can have the yellow color, that is the light, the Sun, happiness. But we are talking about the Mūlādhāra Cakra. The Mūlādhāra Cakra is the seat of Prakṛti, Mūlaprakṛti. That Mūlaprakṛti means your basic qualities. All your energy and Śakti is dormant there. When we begin to awaken the Mūlādhāra Cakra, it is a wonderful feeling. You feel like you are coming out of darkness, like a seed which was under the earth now begins to sprout and comes out. One comes out of depression. Suddenly, you feel very pleasant in your body. It is said the practitioner feels, when the Mūlādhāra Cakra is awakening, like a child feels in the lap of the mother. Then there is a divine feeling, no fear, no negative feelings. That consciousness is proceeding towards liberation. But it has a long way. All children must go to sleep. Please, every father and mother, organize this. The long wave and the river begin from the top of the Himalayas and flow to the Bay of Bengal of the Indian Ocean, thousands of kilometers away. Similarly, the Gaṅgā of the divine power makes its way to the param Śiva, param Śakti. Param Śakti means the supreme power, and param Śiva is the supreme consciousness. Śakti is in Mūlādhāra. That Divine Conscious Śiva is in Sahasrāra Cakra. The union is very far. The river has to flow to the ocean. The ocean doesn’t come to the river. This is unfortunate. And she has the power to flow. She makes her way through the mountains, through the forest, through the desert, and finally she comes to the union. As long as she is flowing, it is known as a river. As soon as she merges into the ocean, she is not a river anymore. It is the ocean. So the individual consciousness merges into the cosmic consciousness; there is only then the Cosmic Self, that Mūlādhāra Cakra and Nāḍīs. So we will see now some pictures. Are you tired? Should we be finished? I would have one suggestion. Those who are tired and would like to go, or have to go somewhere far home, please slowly, slowly get up and go. The Mūlādhāra Cakra, like all cakras, is a lotus. Lotus means beauty. The significance of the lotus is creation. From the navel of Brahmā, Viṣṇu—sorry—the lotus comes. Viṣṇu is the fire, and fire can only exist in the water. He is residing in the ocean. That fire which you have in the body, and from there the lotus comes, and on the lotus manifests Brahmā, the creator. Our body has 80% liquid, and within our body is that Viṣṇu Śakti, the fire. When the mother receives the child, the embryo first develops as water. And in that water, first develops the navel, a very thin spot. And from there, the embryo grows. That is a warmth, the fire inside. And then the body is developed. It is born and becomes creative, active. All mythological symbols speak about our body. So lotus means the creation. Lotus means beauty. God Rāma, God Kṛṣṇa is known as Kamala Nayanam, the lotus eye. Their eyes are so beautiful. It looks like a blossom of the lotus. And lotus is a very, very valuable plant, and it is used very much in medicine. And the lotus stays above the water, but it cannot exist without water. So we are existing in this world, this worldly ocean, but we shall be above this all. Don’t be a test, be detest. That’s very important. That’s why all the cakras are known as lotus. So it’s called Mūl Kamal. Kamal is the lotus. The lotus has many, many—we have many songs and poems about the lotus. So there are many ladies who are called Kamla. Anyone who wants to have a spiritual name, ladies who are sitting here, you can accept this name, Kamala. It means the lotus. So we will call you the Lotus, okay? Kamala. The lotus Mūlādhāra Cakra, or Mūlādhāra lotus, has four petals. These four petals signify the four ways to enter this mortal world. These are the four. The first is known as through the vegetation. Second, as developing from, like, the bacteria. Third, the life which is born, first comes like an egg and is born out of the egg. And fourth, like we humans and some animals, which are born as a body. These are the four petals. So still we are bound to all these four kinds of life. And there is one triangle. You want to see more clearly? Then tell someone to put off the light, and I think someone will do it. And if someone will not do it, then I will stop. Thank you. There, in this cakra, you see one triangle, an inverted triangle. The inverted triangle symbolizes creativity or creation. This is Śakti, symbol of the Śakti. The triangle has three points, that’s why we call it a triangle, and this is symbolizing the three guṇas or the Trinity. This triangle means all energy goes down, so we can turn it upside down. And how do we turn it? I will give you the picture immediately. For example, the down point is a point of the energy, and from there the energy is awakening. And when energy awakes and proceeds, then the aerial is changing, and therefore the energy is going and expanding like this. If you are not awakening this cakra, then the energies which are coming to you, are going all down again. So please put off the light, all that one and this one and this one, only leave it one. Yes, now you see better? No, you see or not? Below the triangle, you see one beautiful elephant. The elephant is one of the ancient animals. The elephant symbolizes prosperity. The elephant symbolizes strength. There is no animal stronger than the elephant. The elephant has this strength. Every part of the elephant’s body is very useful, and it is very expensive. But we should not kill the elephant. It is said that every five minutes, one elephant is killed in this world, unfortunately. We don’t want that this animal to die out. We shall protect them. Elephants have got trunks, and this in Mūlādhāra has got seven trunks. Seven trunks symbolizing seven minerals. Because it is the earth element, and in this earth there are minerals, and out of all these different minerals, the seven minerals are very important for our health. So when we awaken this cakra, our body will again come into balance. There will be no lack of any minerals in the body. The elephant symbolizes luck. So your fortune, your fortune and your luck are dormant in the Mūlādhāra Cakra. This is a mighty elephant. Number seven has many meanings, but we will not talk now about it. That’s why the Mūlādhāra Cakra has got the one elephant, and all is balanced on the elephant. If you dream of an elephant, it is very good, and if you can dream of a white elephant, then your whole fortune, your whole destiny, will change. I remember very clearly when I was about six years old, I had a beautiful dream about a white elephant. Elephant and some people came with the white elephant, and they took me and put me on the white elephant. I can tell you, from that day onwards, my life was completely changed. Brahmā is riding the white elephant; he is the creator, so the elephant is a very holy symbol. The elephant is a protective energy, and that’s why Gaṇeśa has got the elephant face. And Gaṇeśa is the first God. He is the remover of all obstacles. He is the giver of happiness, and He gives you victory. Whatever you do in your life, anything, first you must remember Gaṇeśa. Whatever you begin to do, say, "Let’s make Śrī Gaṇeśa." Śrī is the prosperity; Śrī is Lakṣmī, and she is prosperity. Without her, we will all be unhappy and poor. So, in India, all names are written with Śrī. It means prosperity and Gaṇeśa wisdom. And this is a spiritual prosperity. But those who are Lakṣmī’s bhakta, they also get a lot of money. God, we told secret things today, yes. Because now the day of Lakṣmī, today she will be celebrated very soon on Dīvālī: prosperity, wisdom. So Gaṇeśa protects, brings happiness, brings victory, and removes all obstacles. Therefore, Gaṇeśa is the first God. Śrī Gaṇeśa Rakṣama Śrī Gaṇeśa Śrī Gaṇeśa... Paima Śrī Gaṇeśa Śrī Gaṇeśa... Rakṣama Śrī Gaṇeśa Śrī Gaṇeśa... Paima Śrī Gaṇeśa Śrī Gaṇeśa... Rakṣama Śrī Gaṇeśa Śrī Gaṇeśa Śrī Gaṇeśa Paimā Śrī Gaṇeśa Śrī Gaṇeśa Śrī Gaṇeśa, Śrī Gaṇeśa,... Śrī Gaṇeśa,... Gaṇeśa, Śrī Gaṇeśa, Śrī... Gaṇeśa, Śrī... Gaṇeśa, Therefore this symbol here is a Gaṇeśa. When you build the house, when you make the first foundation stone, putting first, you must put a little symbol stone of the Gaṇeśa. At the entrance of the house, you must put the Gaṇeśa’s statue: no obstacles and negative energy can enter into your house. There are many things according to Vāstu Śāstra. Well, within the Mūlādhāra Cakra, you see, it’s Śiva Liṅga. Śiva Liṅgam is Śiva. That represents the consciousness, that creative consciousness. The entire universe is a Śiva Liṅga. Everything exists within that Śiva Liṅga. The Swayambhū himself, he created himself, that is the Śivaliṅga. Śiva consciousness, bliss, liberation. And around the Śivaliṅga, you will see one snake is coiled. Time. That’s called Kāla, the past, present, and future. All three times are with this Śiva Liṅgam, and that snake is coiled three times, and its head is going down. It means your development is going down. If you are not developing spiritually, maybe for temporary in this life, you are enjoying happiness. But finally, it will go down, so we have to awaken that snake. Then the snake will put its head up and proceed to go up. It will uncoil, which means crossing the border of all three times, Trikāla, and you become Trikāladarśī, the seer of all three times: past, present, and future. As the snake awaits and proceeds, she’s ascending, and that’s your wisdom. Your knowledge is awakening. It is the consciousness from the darkness coming out, like the sun is rising from the horizon. That parā śakti awakes. And that śakti is very powerful. That śakti is peace. That śakti is prosperity. That Śakti is wisdom, that Śakti is happiness, that Śakti is confidence. These are the prayers of the Divine Mother to that Śakti. How beautiful it is! Our life is filled with happiness, with joy. If you have no śraddhā, no confidence, then you are lost. If you have no peace, then you are lost. If you have no santoṣa, you are lost. All these qualities, all these powers are within you. So let’s adore the Divine Mother and let Her protect us and liberate us. Let’s rise up this Divine Śakti Kuṇḍalinī that will never harm anyone. That will never make anyone crazy. Crazy one becomes crazy while doing crazy things. So don’t do crazy things when the real master, the knower of everything. The master is known as a Brahmaniṣṭha and Śrotriya. Učitelj je poznat kao brahman. The knower of the Brahman. Snovac Brahman. Brahman, not Brāhmaṇa. Brahman. Kvala. And seer of the Brahman. I am the Brahman. Brahman. There are three: Brāhmaṇa, Brahman is a caste. Brahmā is creator and Brahman is the supreme one. So we are talking about the supreme one. Brahmaniṣṭha Śrotriya Satguru, that we should have. In this Mūlādhāra Cakra, there is the Śiva and Śakti symbolizing. Let them both rise up. Śiva has many, many names and many functions. Here, Śiva is known as Paśupati. Whoever goes to Nepal always goes to see one temple called the Paśupati temple. Paśupati Mahādeva, the great God. Paśu is animal, and Pati is the Lord. The Lord of the animal and the Lord of the human. Because the Mūlādhāra is a border between this. And that’s Mūlādhāra Cakra. Its main mantra is called Laṁ. Lam is the awakening mantra of the Mūlādhāra. Lama, Lama,... L
