Yesterday, we had a very short explanation of the prāṇa and apāna. So now is the samāna. These five prāṇas and five upa-prāṇas—the whole game of our life is prāṇa. Our mood, good or bad, also depends on the prāṇa. Our illness or health is also dependent on the prāṇa. Every organ of the body, glands, digestive system, our emotions, our thoughts, our happiness and sadness—if we are content or we are not content—this all depends on the prāṇa. Even our good luck or bad luck, so the prāṇa is working for us from a far distance. This connection is coming to every individual from a far distance. Suppose in the month of April, or late March, the cherries and apples begin to blossom. And each blossom gets the nourishment. They are all connected to the root system, from where the mother root is nourishing. Similarly, every creature is connected to the cosmic energy center. That’s the mother center, and so prāṇa is still there. And our destiny, our karmic reasons, do influence our prāṇa, that no one can work against the karmic causes or the destiny. Only, there are a few things which can make it a little softer. And these are the prayers, positive way of thinking, imagining, accepting of Guru Kṛpā. So it means blessing. Anyone’s blessing contributes to happiness in your karmic life or your destiny. The blessing means also everyone’s good wishes, good thoughts. For example, when you celebrate a birthday, who writes you a letter, or telephones, or personally comes and wishes you a happy birthday, a healthy life, a happy life? So this is a blessing, and that gives a lot to our karmic life. And there are some unhappy people. There is not a single person who congratulates you. There are. This is life nowadays. So, for what do we need family? You know, there are two very important times for family: when you are a very small baby, one hour, five minutes old, till you finish your study and have work. So, there we need the parents very much. And when the parents are old and they need twenty-four-hour care, then they need us. It is 24 hours. So when you were born, your mother did not put you somewhere in the youngest youth hostel. The fresh newborn baby, you will not do this. Similarly, we should not neglect our parents like that, and then this space between each family is there, family connections, so it means we are helping and supporting each other. So blessing is very important. You remember what I told you many times. A child asks the mother, "What do you wish, Mummy?" And Mother said, "No, I don’t need anything. I only want that you are happy, healthy, and comfortable." Yes, but I wish something for you. Then mother says, when you were born, I was with you. And if I’m mother, then I have this wish. When I die, you should be with me. That’s it. So this keeps the family relations. And this is now in Europe and in many countries getting lost. Why? Because this system, what you call the kindergarten, it is slowly, slowly a project to get rid of the children or from parents’ attachment. Then their children, when they are grown, they are not even 60% or 40% pro-parents. And children are longing for love. So when they are grown a little more, then they find someone, a boy or a girl. Then they think this is all, the best. This is who loves me, and I love. That belongs to me. You don’t listen to your parents. Because parents just dropped you in the kindergarten. And in kindergarten, it doesn’t matter, the teacher is very good, loves children very much, but mother’s love you cannot replace. Still, the child thinks, "I’m in the kindergarten." And the teacher says, "Children, be peaceful, don’t talk. Now you sleep." So some don’t want to sleep, but they have to lie down. In this way, the children lose relation, connection to the mother and father. Parents should think money is not everything. In old days, there were not so many work opportunities. Maybe it was only work for some buildings, or farming or grazing the cattle. Nothing else. Harvesting fruits. So money was not there, but they didn’t need the money. There was enough eating, enough everything, so that was a family. The whole village is one family, but now that love, what a family should have, is not there. A sister hates a sister, a brother hates the brother, yes, and when the parents die, they are fighting for the heritage. Who will inherit what? And even they go to the lawyers. Thanks to God, the lawyers study. But they should survive. So the property mostly goes to the lawyers. Lawyers will say, "You have your own right, this and this point," and everything will be okay. That’s it. Yes, very quickly, the whole picture: it’s your right, this right, this right. Then it goes slowly. The first bail or first hearing is today. And they tell the other lawyer, "Don’t come." So your lawyer is there, but the other lawyer didn’t come. And ask the judge, "Can you give the next appointment?" So the judge asks, "When would you like?" "Yes, I think five months is okay." And after five months, they take such a date, it’s a holiday. And then, so it goes, years and years, and of course, every appointment costs money. Permanent income, permanent income for the lawyers. They are employed for you, and you have permanent outgoing. So, must it happen between brother and sister? Even they sue the mother or the father. If brother said, "I want to have this," all brothers and sisters will say, "OK, that’s all." OK, this whole fruit garden is yours, but when the fruits come, the whole family goes to eat, take it, and the other brother will not say anything. Said, "Yes, take as much as you like." That is the love. So some are clever, some are not so clever. And who is a little bit naive, a humble person? And one brother is very clever, so two brothers. And the parents died, so they divided half of our property. A small hut, so they divided half of our property. Everything. One blanket left. So, how to divide the blanket? And this was only one blanket, which they had in the night to cover themselves. So, brother, who was very clever, was telling the other brother. Well, the whole day this blanket belongs to you, and in the night, just for me. He said, "OK, brother." So he had to take care all day, and when evening came, he said, "My blanket now." So he was enjoying sleeping in that warm blanket, and there was a whole night sitting by a little fire. And it left one cow. So, how to divide the cow? So the clever brother said, "You know, I always try to do good for you because you are my very dear brother. Well, the most beautiful part of the cow, the front part of the cow is yours, and just the back part is mine." He said, "OK, brother, thank you." It means he has to feed. Water, feed, this, this, everything. And the other brother has the rights to the fertilizers and milk. And the other brother then has the right to milk and manure. And the other brother was a little sad that he had to work. And one day, a smart teacher came. Called Kailash. She is very smart. She was here on the weekend, but today she is not here. So the master, Kailash, she went there and stayed there. So the youngest brother was sad. I think my elderly brother didn’t make a good judgment. It was not fair. But he’s your elderly brother, and for us, an elderly brother is like a father. We have to respect. But what to do, Master? Master said, "OK, I will make treatment." So, about the blanket. Whole day he’s using. And in the evening, 10 minutes before sunset, he sucks the blanket in the water. And other brothers come to take the blanket. He said, "Here you are, brother. Why have you done this?" It’s my day time; it’s for me. I can do what I want. So he realized. So they shared together, and they bought one new. Master, we have one cow, and brother doesn’t give me even one cup of milk, and he’s angry. Why didn’t I give her a good feeder? This, this,... and then he milks and goes. Master said, "Yes, I will have a treatment. When he begins to milk, you go to the cow in the pew because half part is yours. Beat her on the face. And she’s restless. She doesn’t give milk. He has a right for using the front part, and sometimes, making a frightening 'whoa,'" he said, "Dear brother, please don’t do this. Then, please, half milk mine and half yours." So such behavior should not be between a brother and sister’s family. So we have to build a new family. That loves not only your family, but your neighbors too. Try to solve the problems, and also be the friends. Not only husband and wife, nowadays without marriage they are together. So there should also be no conflict. And whenever conflict comes, you must know it is not in your destiny; it is not yours. Sooner or later, you will be very unhappy. So the prāṇa is changed. The dear one begins to cheat you. The prāṇa is changing. So, why do we have these parks, plants, and flowers? According to the Vāstu Śāstra, it is harmonizing. So it is said, "O mannā, O my mind, live and learn to be like a tree." The tree doesn’t complain. The tree doesn’t walk away. If cold, snow, ice, wind, heat, or dryness come, the trees are loyal; they will stay there. When she has fruits and we throw the stone to get the fruit down, she doesn’t throw the stone back at us, but she gives us fruit. Such a harmonious family can create a harmonious world. So yoga is that which makes for good health, physical and mental. And that good health makes a better person. A better person creates a better family. And a better family creates a good society. And so on, it spreads to the whole world. So prāṇa, prāṇa is also in our thoughts. So, prāṇa, apāna, and now comes the samāna. This samāna prāṇa is connecting this energy and prāṇa between maṇipūra cakra and anāhata cakra. We have our kriyānusthāna, and in kriyānusthāna you have Cakra Śodhana. And that is from Anāhata to Maṇipūra and Maṇipūra to Anāhata. This is the Samāna Prāṇa. It is very, very important. And now, how to do? When we listen, we are very interested. And now, say, let’s do it. How? There is nothing. You can’t do anything. Then what? Listen. It’s interesting. You can’t do. What should we do? What should we do? Just die. Bye bye. Why? Because we can’t do. The master said you can do. Again, how? Yes, that is very great. So this prāṇa... This is Prāṇa. Hello. Yesterday we were talking a lot about purity. Last week we had two days talking about purity. The purity in the house. How you keep your house. Nowadays, again, a wrong way of living has begun. What? You put all dirty dresses and whatever it is in one basket or anywhere, and on the weekend, I will clean. So you are living seven days with the same garbage. And one day you just clean it. That becomes big work for you. A work of twenty minutes, you need half a day. Whole Sunday. All the time, and even now, many housewives clean the kitchen completely after cooking and eating, and they clean the room and bathroom, and the husband carries everything. Out in the dustbin, and she’s ironing, and he’s looking at the television. So anyhow, every day we should clean our house, your sleeping room. You know, most of the time you spend in your sleeping room, then in the office. So your sleeping room is there, where you should have pure prāṇas. Nothing should remain in your sleeping room unwashed, even one sock. That brings Lakṣmī. You know who is Lakṣmī? Did you see her? Because one man had a poster, and on the poster was Lakṣmī. And he said, "I’m searching for a woman. This one, have you seen it somewhere? I lost it." He said, "Yes, it’s Lakṣmī. But have you seen her somewhere?" It is lost, so it only remains a picture for you. A real Lakṣmī didn’t come, so in your bedroom, you have three Lakṣmīs. One is your wife. Treat her like a divine. But what man says so? She said, "Then she lives here alone." So adoration means respect, to the husband and to the wife. Each other, they adore them. It means positive behavior. Never use bad words. Anger. Everything, leave it outside. So, your sleeping room should have nice air, open windows, and then you can close. Your altar, your cloth, your blankets. Then you have good dreams. When you sleep well and relaxed, this positive prāṇa will change your destiny. What you search, something will come. And your kitchen is a purity, Lord. Leave unwashed plates from evening for cleaning tomorrow. In the kitchen is the residence of Holy Mother Pūrṇā, Annapūrṇā. So there is Annapūrṇā. In the kitchen is Lakṣmī, and then you sit somewhere, read something, see something, or talk about something. There is Sarasvatī. There is the Divine Mother Sarasvatī. So Sarasvatī is the goddess of wisdom. Whatever we are learning, we should adore the Sarasvatī. Therefore, in the schools, colleges, everywhere, there is the symbol of Sarasvatī. And a beautiful prayer to Mother Sarasvatī. So where you sit, where you read, or a little office, this is a Sarasvatī. And then, when you are sitting in a living room, that’s very beautiful. So in the living room is living the Śakti. Durgā, Gaṅgā, Gītā, etc. And on the door, the entrance, is a Gaṇeśajī. Now, everywhere, the whole house is occupied by her. So that man said, "Now I don’t have a place in this house. Can you show me my place?" Then this divine Śakti said, be happy. You have everything. We will take care of it. So Śakti is energy, purity. Lakṣmī, Kālī, Durgā, Pārvatī, Sarasvatī, Gaṅgā, it doesn’t matter which one. This feminine god needs purity. Complete purity. And when there is dirt, and dirty words, and fighting, then she will not stay there; you may keep the picture only. So your sleeping room should be tight and clean, mostly neglecting the men. They should go again to the army training. Yes, in the army. Morning, get up, make your bed nicely. Ráno vstát. Brush your teeth, shave nicely. Cut your nails, put on your socks and shoes, and polish them. Within ten minutes, yes, and you have to be in the field. And then the commandant comes. And then, hey boy, don’t pull your stomach out. It’s straight. This military army, after two years of training, your son comes so beautiful, and trained, and nice, and intelligent. And it goes into his sleeping room, and in three days, everything is destroyed. So, also, it is a science of how to live. It is a kind of way of living. And the same thing, the ladies must do too. Oh God, some ladies are... They are disparate, and they don’t clean anything. They come once a week, they call some cleaner’s house, and they like to have the money of her husband. The husband goes working, she goes to the sauna, she goes to the wellness center, and buys the things with the telephone. So one man went to a sauna, and he had the first mobile phone everywhere. So he took a mobile phone into the sauna where they were resting. They were all in the sauna, five or six men. One man just came into the room to change his dress and go into the sauna also. It was some manager. "I have a lot of money." And his telephone was ringing, but he was in the sauna. So, the man who came now entered, he answered, he said, "Hello." And on the other phone was his wife. Wife of the one who was in the sauna. She says, "Darling, the first model of the Mercedes car, can I use your credit card?" No problem. It’s a beautiful Indian sari, an Indian silk cloth. It’s a little expensive. It costs about $150,000. But I like, I love to have this silk, darling. What do you say? He said, "No problem, and we have to go to the opera in one week. Can I buy the jewelry? It’s a new design. No one has it. Only your wife will have it." All right. So she made two and a half million dollars. Bill, thank you, darling. And put it off. The man came out from the sauna and said, "Whose telephone, please, is it? My call? Your wife after sauna." Till after sauna, all money went from the account. So she’s not able to clean anything at home. But she’s able to clean all the accounts. What to do? That husband and wife, there is no balance. So it should have a balance between Maṇipūra Cakra and Anāhata. This is a beautiful balance. The words, humble, kind, wise words and behaviour, full of the love of the heart. So prāṇa, apāna, samāna. Prāṇa, apāna, and samāna. Prāṇa, apāna, vyāna, which one was I talking about? So the prāṇa which flows with our breath through the body, we take the breath through the whole skin, through the nose, through the mouth, and through the foot. It connects two main chakras, Anāhata and Maṇipūra, which distribute the energy of the nutrition throughout the body. It influences the Maṇipūra chakra, whose corresponding element is fire, the solar plexus, where there is a radiant aura around those who have purified samāna prāṇa. So, how to purify the Samāna Prāṇa? Look in the Yoga in Daylight book. It is written very clearly. Or look at the Hidden Powers in Humans. Literally, it is said the Samāna Prāṇa is strengthened through Agnisāra Kriyā. So if you see Ramdevjī’s program on television, he’s talking. He’s giving a lecture, and he’s making yoga, which is the best for all. And he says, "Yoga is the best for everyone." This is a new technique of giving lectures. Yes, the Prāṇa Samāna is the best. Good, come on, practice with me. So, the strengthening through the Agni Sāṅkriyā and Nauli. And while sitting, he is doing Nauli like this. All goddesses are doing Nauli, except Ganesha; that’s why he is the first. The most effective technique for the Samāna Prāṇa is the practice of Kriyā Yoga, through which we go through the purification of every chakra. All these techniques you have, so we cannot purify one after the other. It is all processed together. When the rain comes, water flows into the river. And the river flows further. But all the vegetation near the bank of the river automatically gets the water. So when we practice systematically, automatically all our ten prāṇas will coordinate and will make our body perfect and healthy. It is the science of yoga, and it is practical. Theory will inspire us, will give some motivation, but to get a benefit is practical. That’s right. So, the samāna. And what is the last one? Prāṇa, Kupā Prāṇa, that’s all. Something is missing from somewhere, Vienna. Not Vienna. You know, there is Vienna. One is near Alexandria, Virginia. It’s called Vienna. And one is a village in Gujarat, Rajasthan, called Vienna and Linz. And we have Tṛṇāvā near the Khāṭū. And we have one Bṛṇā near Jāḍon. So, how these gypsies, they brought the names here to there. Anyhow, the flow of the Vyāṇa through the nerves and channels of the body affects the whole body, particularly the nāḍīs. So all the nerve systems, all. That’s why we say nāḍī śodhana prāṇāyāma. Sūrya-Vedanā and Candra-Vedanā, Anuloma, Viloma, Bhastrikā, Kapālabhāti, Ujjāyī, etc. These are the pranayamas, and in reality, there are only three pranayamas. It’s called Pūrak, Rechak and Kumbhak. Pūrak is inhalation, rechak is exhalation, kumbhak is retention of the breath, hold the breath. These are two kinds of kumbhak, bāhar kumbhak and antar kumbhak, holding the breath outside or inside. But in these techniques of the prānāyāma, you have to go very slowly, step by step. Otherwise, you can damage your nerves. People would like to achieve everything in one week. That’s not possible. So our course of yoga in daily life, to learn completely, is three years. And then it takes you two or three years to make the diploma. And then you teach the people, and in three years, what result do you get? So this is nine to ten years of study and practice. That is the science of yoga in daily life. And what we are doing, there are so many yoga teachers here, they can’t do the sarvāṅgāsana, dhanurāsana, cakrāsana, paścimottānāsana. This has to be done this evening, afternoon. Who is the teacher, please? Vijaya, okay? So, afternoon, tell them to eat less and come one hour earlier. Thank you. Prāṇas. So the Vyāna prāṇa flows through the nerves, the channels of the body. In fact, the whole body. Particularly, the nāḍīs, the deficiency of the vīrya, causes poor circulation and problems with the nervous system. And so the vāyu is caused by the nervous system, especially the nāḍīs, and even if we don’t have enough of it, or if we have any problem, it affects our nervous system. Particularly the deficiency of Vyāna Prāṇa that causes poor circulation and problems in the nerve systems, including our heart, our kidneys, our livers, all these gentle organs, and it is unbelievable the prāṇāyāma is more effective. And prāṇāyāma will give you miraculous benefits if you have any disease. So, food and prāṇāyāma can heal cancer, but you have to practice three times a day and eat alpāhāra. That will affect, and the effect of the prāṇāyāma will be quick. In combination with the bandha, the pleasant sensation in the whole body, it will be. So this prāṇāyāma will stimulate the entire nervous system. But if you practice two or three days, it is nothing. You will feel the effect very good after five to six months, but the treatment or function, and the effect, begins immediately, but very slowly. So this is the speciality of Vyāna-prāṇa. And Udāna-prāṇa is ascending energy. Flows from the heart to the brain. What we say in local language, the brain and heart should be balanced. Don’t talk only from here, from the head. Or don’t talk only emotionally from the heart; this has to be balanced. Then you will not make a mistake in your negotiations or discussions. Udāna prāṇa, a complete awakening of the kuṇḍalinī. This depends on udāna prāṇa. I don’t know what is kuṇḍalinī. So it awakens the kuṇḍalinī-śakti. Did you ever hear such a word? Yes, kuṇḍalinī-śakti awakening. Good morning, kuṇḍalinī-śakti. The astral body separates from the physical body with the udāna-prāṇa. And Uḍāna Prāṇa is activated by the Ujjāyī Prāṇāyāma, Brāhmaṇī Prāṇāyāma, Vibhṛt Karṇī Mudrā, etc. That will come this evening. I wish you a very good time. You have a little bit, please make it Alpāhāra, means little eating. Afterwards, no going to sleep. Walk in the garden. Come back and meditate for 10 minutes, and Vijaya will come. And he will make āsanas, the latest version of Kaṭhuparaṇa, and then Prāṇāyāma. And then again come the āsanas. The sixth, the fifth and sixth part of our yoga book. Vijaya, be soft with them, yeah? Be gentle. Even if they cry, don’t worry. So all the best.
