Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī, Dev Puruṣa Mahādeva, Satguru Svāmī Madhvānandī Bhagavān Kī, Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī. Five times we will chant the Gāyatrī Mantra, as we did yesterday. Again, you have a bad melody; the old melody is still there. Old habits are very difficult to overcome, always like the snow. In winter, there was a lot of snow and ice. Then the trail from the car always falls in the same direction. So it is. But does it matter? It is said that when the farmer is throwing seeds in the field, whether the seed falls on the wrong side or the right side, it will grow. So if you sing wrong or right, it’s your karma. Anyhow, we are far away from Brahmavidyā. So it doesn’t matter how we sing. One day it will come. Good evening. I forgot to tell you this. Okay, how are you? Today was a very nice day. Unfortunately, before noon we had no webcast due to technical failures. We were far in the forest, by a beautiful lake on a beautiful meadow with many flowers. Bees were singing, and butterflies were flying. There were nice trees of different kinds of nuts and berries, and a very peaceful atmosphere; the birds were singing. The birds were making less noise than our children. Because whenever I begin to talk, the birds tell their babies, "Children, listen, listen, listen to my heart song. I will never forget you, I will never forsake you." That’s it. So the birds were saying, "Listen." Listen to the Guruvākyas, the Brahmavākyas. That is what our śāstras describe: that the yogīs, or ṛṣis, or aspirants go and reside near the water. We call it "Jal Jaha Jagdish": where there is water, there is God. How much we pollute the water is unbelievable. At the beginning of the last century, about three to four decades ago, you could drink water from any pond, any creek, and any river. Now we don’t dare to drink, even the direct fountain that comes from the mountains. We have threatened life on this earth. It was very interesting to see and hear, day before yesterday, Swami Gajānandjī Mahārāj, Mahant of Strīlecekāśram. 'Mahant' means one who is working very hard—that is Mahant, mehnat, mehnat. You know, a yogī, a yatī, koī mehnat karke... one who is working hard, doing a lot of things. That’s called manhood. And manhood means aim, the ego, the end of the ego. So, is he still far from that? Swami Gajānanjī was showing us some videos about plastic. Plastic has become a snake in our hands. If we leave it out, it will kill us. If we keep it, it will kill us. That’s it. We would like to avoid it, but it’s very hard. Yet nothing is impossible. Try, try, try. Abhyāsa, Abhyāsa, Abhyāsa. Oh, Conte, Abhyāsa. Here people are learned ones. Almost all of you have had a higher, academic education. You have a very brilliant intellect. Brilliant intellect, we are knowledgeable, but this academic knowledge has become an epidemic of plastic. If we all really decide—all humans—that we don’t want any kind of food which has pesticides, and we don’t want to use something which is harmful for our health, then again Satya Yuga begins. But we should know, and we have freedom in what we want to eat. And if someone manipulates our food, that is injustice. Therefore, the little children should go now to their room and drink nice, fresh milk. Thank your parents. So it is said, the grassroots project, and we can. All together we can. Gandhījī said, "Be the change you want to see." And from that, the American president took this slogan: "Yes, we can together." That’s it. So yes, we can take some steps towards the health of our planet, the health of the animals, forests, water, water creatures, and humans. One man said, "Today I will let all look into the sky." How will you make it so that everyone has to look into the sky? He said, "I will do it. Tomorrow I will begin at seven o’clock." So he went into the street, and suddenly he looked up. Another one came. "Do you see that?" "No." A third one came. A fourth one came. And the original person left; he went away. And people came with cameras, and so on. He said, "Oh, the flying saucers." And they said, "Yes, I saw, I saw that." Telescope. Suddenly, there was media, and cameras, and hundreds of people came to go and see. "Oh my God. Do you see?" "Say no." "Yeah, there you see." "I have my eyeglasses. They are not good." People opened the windows and began to look, and he was sitting somewhere and said, "Look, I told you I will let them all look in the sky." So then, this is so easy for nothing. There was nothing. Why can we not do something with a solid, concrete, very clear object, knowing that these things are not healthy for us? And you know the decision-makers about the foods and pesticides? They eat very organic. One of the wives was coming to yoga, and she said, "Swamiji, me, my husband, we all drink the green chai." Organic. We have organic milk. We have organic fruits. Organic orchards. We live very healthy. "Why do you have this company?" That’s for money. Even they don’t want to eat the polluted food and drink polluted water. So we should all decide to have healthy food. And think of your children. Don’t feed them with what you call fast food. When they will be grown and they will realize that this kind of food is not healthy, they will bless you? "You fed me with fast foods? Oh, my dear father, what have I done against you? Why did you pay me with such food?" Think of your children. Think of the future of our planet, so we have to begin with that. There was a question last week: what about these and these and different religions and meat eating? As many Hindus also eat meat. To eat meat or not eat meat is not a religious matter. It is a subject of mercy, non-violence, love to all creatures. Like human rights, there is also animal rights, mountain rights. How many mountains are destroyed because we need a good road, a quick road? That’s it. Consequences we have to suffer. Therefore, at least 60%, we can support our health. And the rest will come through yoga in daily life that you can do every day, prāṇāyāms. So we had a beautiful time this morning. It was something like an ancient yogic gurukul. Someone was making a lake. Someone was cleaning the lake. For what? For clean water, and there we spoke about prāṇa. And that was the right spot for the prāṇa. And that is just in our beautiful garden of Chandra, between two lakes. All were sitting on the meadow, and there were many bees and wasps, butterflies, birds, and very fresh air. And on the other side, the children were walking and singing. That picture was indescribable. Now, just as it is rusty, what kind of vision you have, like that you have inner feelings. Like that, it will create an inner world. So each breath in and out brings immense oxygen and prāṇa into the body. We practiced the Brahma Vidyā Kriyā coordinated with the breath, and then the breath moved movements, chakras, and spirituality. The Kaṭhūprāṇām exercise, which has 20 postures. Each posture is designed for a particular chakra, and all these very important nāḍīs—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumṇā, the Vajra Nāḍī, the Brahma Nāḍī—all these nāḍīs, many, many. So Mahāprabhujī spoke: how and when does life enter on this planet? Not that after two or three months of the embryo... There are two kinds of seeds. One is the original, natural, ancient seeds. They grow, they give the seed, and again they grow. Continuity. And the same energy, quality, and strength. And the other seed is called seedless, which is genetically manipulated. How we farmers became dependent, that we have to buy the seeds. We, people who are old, people sitting above 35, 45 years, I hope that we will live long. But the strength of our life is, at maximum, 45. Then, 45 years, you are going down again. How many years? Be happy if you can reach 90 years. Now, those who are eating fast food and pesticides... These young kids, who are 20 years, 25 years, they are walking like this, like a gorilla, no strength, no energy in the body. Otherwise, it is said that until 50 years, the mother’s milk is reflecting on your lips. Who is the luckiest one that gets properly the mother’s milk only, and not with the bottles, and not different kinds of milk? No nourishment can be healthier and better than mother’s milk, whether it’s from an animal mother or a human mother. There are three kinds of milk. It is egg milk? The first is our mother’s milk. The second milk is cow’s milk—means all animals which give milk, like goats, sheep, etc., and deer. And third, milk, vanraika, the third one is the vegetation milk. And fourth, milk, kajka, and which is the fourth one? So there are four milks, but which one is the fourth? So the fourth milk is called brahmajñāna. When we get that milk, then we are immortal. These are the four milks: mothers, animals, vegetation, and fourth is the Brahmajñāna that comes to the Brahman. So it is said, if we eat original food... So what I want to tell in the beginning is that people, like in my age, we still can’t understand that we have to buy the seeds every year, but we humans make them seedless. And through this seedless nourishment, the animals and humans also become seedless. There is a problem. Many can’t get children, and many have no strength to get children. This is because of such food. Where is the strength? It is a seed. What kind of ocean is it where there are no waves? And what kind of youth is there where there is no light inside? Strength, shining, light, brilliant. They drink, kind of drink, and they are like this. Parents, they get up. "You have to go to school." Last week, he was laughing. "Let me be," and then comes inside with such a flood: comes depression, comes doubts, all kinds of production comes into your vṛtti—hopelessness, loneliness, jealousy, drowsiness, and many, many things. Marishment is that which awakes you, and off you go and work. So, father says, "Boy, get up and show me how tired you are." Strength, energy, that’s the prāṇa. What we were doing, prāṇāyāma and the sādhanā today, that was to improve the immunity in prāṇa and the body. So the Kaṭhūprāṇām exercise is designed first for immunity through control of the Vajranāḍī. And Vajranāḍī connects to the navel. The navel is the center of our body. And our navel is not only the center of the body, but the center of the entire endless universe. In this Brahma Kriyā, you will learn this: that from the navel it will begin, and you manifest it yourself in one day of the Brahman. So, Vajranāḍī and Suṣumnā Nāḍī, where the prāṇa and apāna, two very important, and then the breath. All rachanā, all miracle, whole play is breath. Breath is gone means no more petrol. The car stays nicely in the middle of the highway, very hot or very cold. Of course, you are alone, so you can’t pull. If you pull, who is steering? Petrol is gone. Finished. Therefore, prāṇa is a petrol, energy. Now, the movement with the breath. That prāṇa, through our particular movement of this posture, which is in Kaṭhūprāṇām, immediately reflects on a particular chakra. This morning, I was talking in the lecture. Breath is called arah uradha—ascending and descending, or inhalation and exhalation. When we inhale naturally, then after we have completed inhalation, for some seconds, we stop the breath, and then we exhale. When we exhale completely, then again it automatically stops. Then we exhale. Inhale. Now, between this is a very important kumbhaka. Why? By inhalation, by prāṇa, the entire respiratory system is changing in favor to take air in, to suck the air in. Because during the inhalation, the entire respiratory system is preparing, preparing, focusing on how the air enters the inside, how the air breathes in. The valves are opening, and when it is filled, then the whole system has to change. So the valve opens to the other side to let out. So this is a klapa, an inlet and outlet, but how Mother Nature or God has done this system in our body, then automatically functioning inlet and outlet. If it’s open only for inlet and the outlet is blocked, we die. Or if the outlet is open but the inlet is blocked, again, this is the end of our life. So, similarly, that inner machine is functioning. We don’t feel it, but it is like that. In the same way, Kaṭhūprāṇām’s postures automatically, without any time, within seconds, regulate that energy or direct energy to that particular chakra, muscles, or joints. So we did consciously with breath. That was beautiful. Now, the soul, the life, is already in the seed. If in the seed there is no life, it cannot sprout; it cannot grow. Therefore, life is everywhere, and souls are everywhere. But the beginning, then, from the navel—yesterday, I think I told—in the liquidy egg, how beautiful the baby is developing. The bones, the legs, the claws, the beak, the feathers, the wings, everything, from where God is bringing in. It’s only liquid inside, but there is life, a miracle. That we will understand only when we know the Brahma Vidyā. So there is a conflict between spirituality, reality, and science or medicine. So, this prāṇa which we had this morning—many of our sisters were there, and they were sending you prāṇa, brothers, so that you can work strongly. And that’s why, boys, you were not tired at all. If they would not do this kriyā, you would be exhausted. So you can thank our sisters. Of course, that was selfless work. They don’t ask for anything. Such a sister we need around the world. And then someone supplied you a nice drink. I mean, not alcohol, but something nice with sugar. The day was beautiful, and everyone’s vṛtti was cleared. The ones who cleaned the lake, they did not clean the lake. They cleaned their antaḥkaraṇa. Now when the lake will be full... Can you imagine? Crystal clear blue water. That time, your joy or happiness will be beyond anything that you will realize. It is the fruit of your actions, your karmas. So we were cleaning the antaḥkaraṇa. It was beautiful. So today was great. I can talk all day and night. So, there is one bhajan from Achal Rāmjī, because we were on the Mālvikṣepa and Āvaraṇa, and the subject is Brahmavidyā, and in this he is talking about Brahmavidyā, and now he is talking about purification. It’s a very nice bhajan in Rajasthani and Urdu language. It’s very close. And Hindi is also very close, just like Slovak, Czech, Polish, and Russian. These languages have many, many words in common. So what Swamijī said: those who have purified their heart, what a cleanness! What a cleanness! When you have cleaned your heart, can nothing be more pure than that? Someone has cleaned their heart, and the cleanness is like that. And if one has not cleaned, then there is impurity. And someone’s heart becomes more and more dirty, impure. There is no other impurity than this. So he’s telling about both. He tells us about both of them. Mela means Mālā. Māla Vikṣepa, no? Māla Vikṣepa. Now he must tell further more. I’m not telling anything. I only refer to Achal Rāmjī. You can go and ask him. But unfortunately, he’s not here anymore. What did he say? Here it is: Upar se sāv rahe nār-nārī, khāv kapalī badan dhokī. Outside, men and women are cleaning the laundry and ironing a nice dress, and the body is clean with makeup and everything. It looks beautiful. But in their heart is a kapaṭ. What is a kapaṭ? Kapat means trick, jealousy. Cheating, doubts. Outside in nice dress, nice clean, everything, but inside, if it is in my power, I will twist it. Kaparát. That heart is of it. He sings, I’m not singing. I’m only translating, right? You understand Hindi? Do I translate something wrong? No. Yeah, because some Indians say, "No, I," and some say, "No, I, our Swāmījī," but don’t take it easy. You should be very busy, working day and night now. And what dirtiness, of doubt, jealousy, sadness, many, many. It’s not pure. Otherwise, if it is pure, reflection, transparent, even the other one will look at you and feel happy. Otherwise, he will say further that it stinks. Let’s say to him, "I will not give you to clean your dress or your laundry, and your body doesn’t take a long time." Many, many lives you have to purify your mind, but still, it is sticky. So that’s what we are trying to do: purify our mind. When you just go a little bit towards Kusaṅga, Asurī Śaktis are there to attack you. Don’t try. Therefore, many people say in the international conferences about drugs, etc., "What is the most dangerous thing that you think? I just try." And this trying, you get one finger, and now it holds here already. Unfortunately, it is in front of the schools in many different forms, so God protect our youth. Youth is the future of tomorrow. Youth is the culture of tomorrow. The nation will go in the direction. In which direction will youth go? You married, and with great love and with great hope, you gave birth to a beautiful child. And how happy you are! How much time you spend for your child. And when the child is then coming to Kusanga, you are not happy. But why did they go to Kusanga? Because you couldn’t give proper education. There are more dangerous things than good things to help our youth, and the health also, through the nourishment. It doesn’t take time to wash the dress and body, but many, many... In life, you have to clean your mind. Dost tri antakaraṇme sabke mal vikṣib bharavraṇ. Dost means... what was that? Dost means inka Dost. There are many, many, there is no words in English that. But dosh means mistake, guilt, good quality, bad quality. So dosh is, for example, you caught someone and said, "He’s a thief." Others said, "He has not stolen." His dosh is not his mistake. Dosh... so those, everyone has inside those three. Antaḥkaraṇa, this in antaḥkaraṇa of everyone, guiltiness that’s in those antaḥkaraṇa: mana, buddhi, citta, ahaṁkāra. We spoke many times about this, and these four—mana, buddhi, citta, ahaṁkāra—are filled with, are covered with, are sucked in it in what? Māla, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa. Māla, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa. Are we there? What have we been speaking all week? Don’t say Swamiji is creating something. He’s only trying to frighten us. "We do what we want, but Swamiji said this. Oh, it’s our Swamiji. Tomorrow he will say something different." Because I am not so strict. Do you know what is the pavitratā? Purification. Purity. Pure. So, all girls who want to have a name, you can have this name: Pavitratā, Pavitrā, Pavitra. What? Pavitra, Pavitra, or Savitri, or Sarita, these are beautiful names. So you can have the name Sarita. Sarita means the beautiful flow of the fountain from the mountains to the river, pure. So you can choose the name Sarita or Savitri, that is also a beautiful spiritual name, like Sati Savitri, purity. Gaṅgā, Gītā, Chachara, Svātī. Sītā, Satyā forgotten, and third is called Pavitrā, so Saritā, Savitrī, Pavitrā, Sarasvatī wisdom. So you choose your name, those three, and the current subject. When this part from your heart is cleaned. What a beautiful cleanness. There is nothing purer than this pure heart, so you know, so our pure heart. So my dear, don’t pollute your heart with little, little doubts and anger and hate and jealousy and greed and so on. These are snakes and wasps and scorpions and crocodiles. Once a wasp is biting, a scorpion is biting, a snake is biting, a crocodile is coming. Our heart is filled with all this. And suddenly get rid of all, then you have purity. Now, finally he is giving how to do. Thanks to. Díky. Sila niskam, the rock of selflessness. And water of the devotion. Dhoj dil, wash your heart. Gyāna lagā sabun. Put the soap of the jñāna. This soap then will clean everything. So, niṣkām kṛṣilā, the selfless duty, selfless work. Seva, volunteer. So try to do more and more Seva. You cannot do Seva without devotion. So seva should be so solid like a rock. And water should be pure, like bhakti, devotion. And the soap should be the best one, that’s called the jñāna. And the soap should be the best one, that’s called the jñāna. Who says this? Achala Ram. Achala Ram said that time is everything, clean. Well, such a clear process of purification is there. Next will be tomorrow. This was one bhajan on purity, antaḥkaraṇa, mālavikṣepa, āvaraṇa, the inner sports, and how to purify. And in yoga, in daily life examination, such equations will come. What is the relation between antaḥkaraṇa and mālavikṣepa āvaraṇa? I open the question and answer you. So in the next examination, maybe this question comes; prepare for it. Therefore, it is said, when everything is done, go to Jadon, and what will you do? Ānandoham, Ānandoham, Ānandam, Brahmananam. Śrī Devpurī Samādeva Kī Jai. Dharam Samrāchāt Guru Swāmī Madhvan Jī Bhagavān Kī Jai.
