Om Śānti, Śānti. Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān kī, Deveśvara Mahādeva, Satguru Svāmī Mādhāvanāndajī Bhagavān kī, Satyasanātana Dharma kī. The nāda, nāda-rūpa-parabrahma, is everything. In our body, movement occurs through that nāda, that sound. Without space, sound cannot proceed or spread. And without that sound, nothing can be achieved. With that resonance, energy expands. This energy flows in the cakras, in the glands. The subject of the Kuṇḍalinī is vast. Kuṇḍalinī is a science—a complete science of body, mind, intellect, and consciousness. Kuṇḍalinī means Śakti. The word has several meanings. One is derived from kuṇḍa, meaning a pool or pond. In a large pond, leaves or other things fall into the water and sink to the bottom. Over time, they rot. They lose their form, color, and solidity. Similarly, within us exists a kuṇḍa where all our past karmas reside. We may remember some from this life, but not from others. The form of those karmas is lost, but their effect is not. What we call good luck, bad luck, or destiny is the result of these past actions. From time to time, something surfaces in our memory, consciousness, or manifests in our body again. Deep in our consciousness, our karmas lie dormant. These are the hidden powers in humans, and indeed, in every existence. Another meaning is kuṇḍala, a circle. Sometimes we see a beautiful circle around the moon. One type of circle has a door to go in and out, indicating that heavy rain will come. Another circle has no door and is very clear, indicating only wind will come. This is an indication in space, and it is true. When I arrived in Mexico City on the 5th of June, there was a beautiful circle around the Sun. Many scientists took pictures and wrote about it, sensing that some energy or spirituality was coming. You can check the newspaper of Mexico City from that day. These symbols exist in the universe and in every creature. Where there is a door, there is water. Where there is no door, just a circle, it means a storm or cyclone. The third definition relates to gender. Because Śakti is feminine, it is called Kuṇḍalinī. In Sanskrit and Hindi, words ending in "ī" are often feminine, while those ending in "a" are masculine. Kuṇḍa is masculine, but Kuṇḍalinī is feminine. The next meaning of kuṇḍalinī is kuṇḍala, earrings—beautiful, hanging earrings. It is said one should not make piercings on the body, but for the ears, at that particular point, it is healthy. Men can have one on each side. For women, there are particular points they should have, as it is believed to protect against certain illnesses and negative energy. Women also have it on the nose. These earrings are like a ring. A ring signifies infinity and continuity; it is endless. Similarly, this energy is endless, everywhere, all the time. What is zero? Who introduced zero? Indian mathematicians gave the zero to solve mathematical problems. They also gave the numbers 1 through 9. Nine is the highest number; there is no tenth number. Only nine exists, and nine will always remain nine. Even if you write 9 a hundred times and calculate, it will sum to nine. But when you put a zero, you are multiplying. The zero is again continuity. The Ṛṣis said in the Vedas that the earth is a ball, it is round; the earth is zero, and that is why it is floating. The Ṛṣis of India said the earth is round, but not only the earth. Water is also round. Every drop is round, even the fine drop of fog. Energy is also round. Energy moves in a circle. The sun's rays do not come straight; they go around. This roundness is because the sun itself is round. You know the sign svastika. The svastika is the symbol of the sun. The sun is turning clockwise, and so the sun's rays, due to this movement, bend; the energy becomes round. The sun is round, the energy is round, and finally, the whole universe is round. This is oneness. That is the Pūrṇa, completeness. That is why the full moon is called Pūrṇimā—it comes from completeness. From the complete, comes the complete. On the egg of a peacock, we need not put color inside. The baby that comes out of that egg will automatically be colorful. Similarly, from the complete, it is complete. When you take something out from the complete, it remains complete. Our śāstra says: Pūrṇam adaḥ, Pūrṇam idam, Pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate. Pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate. Everything comes from Pūrṇa, exists in Pūrṇa, and when you take something from Pūrṇa, both remain Pūrṇa. What comes from completeness is completeness. In this way, our thoughts do not go straight. Our thoughts also rotate, and our visions go in a circle, a spiral. Everything is round. That is why this energy is given the name Kuṇḍalinī. That Śakti, that energy, is rotating. It is in our body and in all creatures. Those who have understood life, birth and death, and what liberation is, will know what Kuṇḍalinī Yoga is. According to Vāstu Śāstra, there are three main principles: the circle, the right angle, and the triangle. These three symbols are very powerful. Vāstu Śāstra needs them because certain angles attract energy, soften it, purify it, and then give it further momentum. Only these three symbols can move energy. That is why in the cakras of the body, the Kuṇḍalinī cakras, there are triangles in every cakra, as well as circles. All this is not merely symbolic; it is reality. Those who understand will understand, and those who research and strive will achieve. This is the way of nāda, sound. The entire endless universe is manifested through sound. We do not know where the end is. Where is the horizon? The closer we go, the farther it goes. How high is the sky? The higher we go, the farther it goes. One person joked, "If you want to know how my flight is flying, before I take off, please can you heighten the sky a little? Raise up the sky, because my flight is so quick." They can go through and through, but still there is nothing. Can we imagine emptiness? Completely empty. We humans are not even visible compared to the universe. We are very tiny creatures. But everything is perfectly balanced, whether in space, on earth, or in water. It is a balance. As far as we go into space, we will experience sound—a very peculiar sound, somehow known to our ātmā, but not a physical sound. As far as we go in the universe, there is a different note, a different sound. Again, that sound is that energy, like the cement between two bricks. It holds the bricks together, and that is yoga. Yoga is that which unites, harmonizes, and balances. These are the three principles: the circle, triangle, and right angle. Only these three exist, and from them you can create immense forms. Those who went to India in the last three to four years and landed at New Delhi airport might have seen the work of a cultural artist who made forms and pictures out of triangles. There are depictions of dancing, drums—it is so beautiful. You can ask anyone, and they will immediately recognize it. The triangles are put together. When they are dancing, with nice bangles hanging, it is beautiful to behold. So, who has seen this at New Delhi airport? (A few hands go up). Only four people have been to India? What a shame! This was during the Asian Games in New Delhi. They say it is the second biggest airport in the world. Korea is big, and Atlanta, New York, London are also big, but they have more traffic. There are also mudrās displayed on the wall. When you land, it begins the introduction of India—"Incredible India." About fifty meters farther, you see another beauty of India: the duty-free shops. Oh my God! There are so many beautiful bottles of alcohol. You need not go anywhere; you get everything in India, all vodka till the Bloody Mary, Crazy Horse, the screwdriver. Well, every country has its beauty and culture, but we have forgotten. We put all vegetables in one pot, so all different cultures fall into one pot, and something new came out. The condition of culture is now very bad. You brought a horse to a donkey. It neither remains a horse nor becomes a donkey, but becomes a mule on the high mountains carrying the load. So when culture becomes a mule—from the horse and the donkey—it becomes a mule. Mules cannot give babies; they cannot give children. But they carry a lot of luggage. So now in this Kali Yuga, all people become mules, running day and night, working, working—workaholics. They are all mules; they cannot give children anymore. There are all these kinds of chemicals. You will be surprised; you will laugh. In all these big cities, so many ladies are taking anti-baby pills. That goes through their urine into the toilet, flushing into the river, and now the fish cannot lay eggs. So, fish are dying. Ladies, if you want to have the beauty of the fish, then do not consume this. So, who is guilty when there is no fish? Women. And you know why? Because humans have a great heart; they do not want people to kill the fish. So no bamboo, no flute, no noise. Anyhow, what I want to talk about is form, and this form we call Vāstu Śāstra. The design for every creature has been very carefully taught by the cosmic architects to maintain balance on this earth. Now we destroy mountains, dig them for raw materials, build highways and concrete buildings, cut forests—many, many things. The Kuṇḍalinī Śakti is that Śakti which holds the entire space, the universe. It dwells within us too. We can awaken this, experience this, and free ourselves from physical sufferings. When we overcome physical problems, then mental problems are finished. And when mental problems are solved, all emotional problems are solved. It happens one after the other. These energies—you may call it Kuṇḍalinī, Kuṇḍala, or circle—some people call it the cobra, the snake. They call it serpent power. "Kuṇḍalinī is a serpent. Oh my God!" Sometimes pictures show it like a cobra. Cobras are so beautiful. They look beautiful from farther away. When you come nearer, not anymore. Why do they call it serpent power? Snake. It is believed to be a snake—a thousand-headed snake. That thousand-headed snake is coiled in the ocean, with its head up. Our Earth is balanced on the head of the Śeṣanāga. The whole earth is balanced on the Śeṣanāga's head. When he is tired and moves his neck a little, that reaction is called an earthquake. So whenever there is an earthquake, it means Śeṣa Nāga was doing Saravāṅgāsana. This Śeṣa, the thousand-headed snake, has another meaning. Holy Gurujī told another meaning: Śeṣa is the numbers. When you count something, using minus, plus, everything you have done, finally what remains? Only that one. Only that one, and that one is called the truth. That truth is "brahma satyaṁ jagan mithyā"—Brahman is the truth; this world is only temporary. So the Śeṣanāga is that one, the only one Dharma. Dharmo rakṣati rakṣitaḥ: the whole earth is still surviving on dharma. If we protect dharma, dharma will protect us. This Śeṣanāga, in mythological pictures, begins from our navel when the embryo starts to develop. First, the intestines develop, and on the intestines, the spine develops. You know, like a cell in water? There is a cell, and inside is the body. In this cell, the spine begins. The intestines develop first, then comes the head, then the limbs. It is a wonderful work done by God, or the heavenly architects. I told you yesterday, a tiny ant has very good vision. Which machine did God use so that she has beautiful fingers with polished nails, nice bangles on her legs? When ants begin to dance, Viṣṇu lies down and watches beautifully. The resonance—ta-ta-ta-ti-ta-ta-ta-ta-ti—nice music. But Bhakti Devī can say some rāgas, you know. Like Mīrābāī said in a bhajan: Mīrā was tying nice veils on her ankles and dancing, and everyone was happy. How beautiful it was. The ant was somewhere feeding her children. She also put the food in and came to dance. When it danced, the ant came onto the podium. On the stage, Mīrābāī was also looking. "Oh, how nice, the ants are dancing." God also stops there and wonders, "My children, beautiful." Go where the ant nest is, put your ear near, some centimeters above, and listen to the sound of the ants. They speak, resonating. Therefore, it is said the form of God is resonance. That came to be known as the Kuṇḍalinī, and it has immense energy, all abilities. Everything. So when we study this Kuṇḍalinī science, we will know the whole universe is nothing but Kuṇḍalinī science. The serpent is a... What is Kāla? Kāla means the past. Both Kāla: Vartamāna and Bhaviṣya—past, present, and future. Why? Because it is dormant; it is black. Kāla also means black. Kāla means death. Kāla means past time. It unites the three worlds, the trinities. So, this Kuṇḍalinī Śakti dwells in each and every gland of our body. The hormones that come from our glands—that is something for tomorrow.
