Prāṇa is the vital force in the entire creation, in all existence on this earth. Everything lives from prāṇa. Even water needs prāṇa; otherwise, it becomes stagnant. Water should move and flow. If it is blocked, it becomes dirty and stinks. Similarly, a sādhu should be moving, not staying in one place. A saint should move and not be attached to one person or one place. But then Mahāprabhujī said that water should stay in one place, but it should be very deep and great. This means if the whole ocean were to move, the entire earth would be under water. So it maintains itself. Likewise, a sādhu should stay in one place, in solitude. Ekānta means one place. Slowly, slowly, withdraw yourself from the world and go to a high level like the Himalayas, a forest, or under some lake, and so on. Prāṇa. Similarly, we need prāṇa in the vegetation. Each and every blade of grass needs prāṇa, and even the roots need prāṇa. Not only this, but the earth itself needs prāṇa. The earth inhales. When we make a house from bricks and mud—natural materials—there is a pleasant feeling in the house. Now people are moving to naturally built houses. All this cement, concrete, iron, metal, and buildings have no breathing. Everything needs prāṇa; even stones have prāṇa. Every creature needs prāṇa. Prāṇa is life, and life is prāṇa. Through the practice of prāṇāyāma, we can gain good health and long life. There is one technique called Kāya Kalpa. It is said that through Kāya Kalpa, your body can become young again. I cannot promise you will become like a ten-year-old boy, but regenerating all tissues can happen. Grey hair can become black again, or red, or whatever color you have. The skin regenerates, and wrinkles on your eyelids, forehead, and elsewhere can diminish. There is a technique. There was one Swāmī in Udaipur, a great learned person in Sanskrit and the Vedas, and an expert in Āyurveda. When I met him the first and second time, I asked him, "What is Kāya Kalpa? Do you know how to do it?" He said, "Yes, Swāmījī, I can organize it for you. How long will it take? Twelve years." I said in twelve years, all my bhaktas around the world will become old and will not recognize me again. So, for the sake of the bhaktas, I quit my youth. The Kāya Kalpa technique he told me is this: You have to make a mud hut. The technique is to bring grass, any kind of grass, chip it, and mix it with mud. Then you make a form, a frame, put this mud and grass mixture inside, compact it, and dry it. It is like a brick. They are long, high, and thick. Dry them and use them as bricks. Join them with earth and let it dry. Outside, you put a grass wall, sticking it with mud. Inside, you plaster it about three centimeters thick with cow dung—but a specific kind of cow dung from cows that eat only dry grass and no grains at all. When cows eat grain-based feed, the dung becomes stinky. When they eat only a grass diet, it has no bad smell. Observe the rabbit in summer; they have very nice fur and are the same size. Their droppings fall down, and when dry, there is no smell. You break it, and it is only grass. Similarly, elephants—wild elephants, not home elephants who are given chapatis and laddus—eat only grass and trees. When they produce dung, it dries into big balls. If you open and break them, you can smell them. Put a little fire on them, and if you have a cold or cough, inhale the smoke; it is healing and smells very nice like agarbattī. If you can get elephant dung for your kitchen garden where you have vegetables and bugs, put a little elephant dung and make a fire. Let the smoke spread, and all the bugs will disappear. It is beautiful. But to collect elephant dung, we must go to Africa or an Indian forest, and before we collect the dung, the elephant might collect us. So, the cow dung plaster is about three centimeters thick, on the walls and floor. Have small windows like in an airplane. Then have one grass mat, kuśa grass. This is Kāya Kalpa: prāṇa, rehabilitation, becoming healthy again. You can do it anywhere. In summer, with farmers, cows have only dry grass. It should not be green, as that becomes stinky again. You can do it here too. In that hut, sleep on the floor, not on a bed. Make a pillow from a nice grass bundle with a pure cotton cover. Sleep there, meditate there, do prāṇāyāma there. Perform anuṣṭhāna, kriyānuṣṭhāna, and then eat sāttvic food, palahārī—no grains at all. Otherwise, it becomes stinky. Consume nice water and practice mantra. It will regenerate your body again. This energy coming from natural material is the technique for Kāya Kalpa. From time to time, do Śaṅkaprakṣālana, Kuñjalakriyā, Prāṇāyāma, and Āsanas—everything in your hut except Śaṅkaprakṣālana, which you should do outside somewhere. Around your hut, about twenty meters if you have space, grow some greenery: plants, trees, bushes. Let them grow big. Make a drink for the birds and a feeder. They will sing for you morning and evening, have generations, multiply, and create a beautiful atmosphere. No newspaper, no telephone, no SMS, nothing. Use only a rudrākṣa mālā; no other metals. Eat completely sattvic food, as little as you can. Sometimes you will lose kilos, but then you will regenerate the body. And mantra—that is the technique of Kāya Kalpa, regenerating the body. I hope one day I will do it on the fifth floor. On the fifth floor, you can do it. Everything is from stone, then thick bricks and this. I will tell Yogesh, and he will do it well. Not very big, just about fifteen by ten or fifteen by fifteen feet—four by three meters. You can come and spend one night with me to see how peaceful it is and what energy it gives you. Prāṇa is the natural way of life, and we do not need too many things. Reduce, reduce all things. The speciality of that house is that in summer it is cool, and in winter it is warm. It maintains the temperature. That is very good. Do you want to live like this? Do it. At least spend a whole night in such a room; that is also very good. Reduce; there are no electric wires, cables, telephones, or any of that. In that area, put many bioprotectors. Our Sītalpurī should make a big bioprotector to hang outside as decoration. That is very nice prāṇa. Our body needs that prāṇa. We know all these chemical medicines; we feel a little better, but they cause more harm than healing. There is no cancer for those who live there, drink berry juice, and eat greenery and green wheat. This is a life. After twelve years, picture this: you will see who was old and who is now old. Mantras, prayer singing, mantra singing, reading, studying holy scriptures—what a life! Who can lead such a divine and rich life? That is a rich life! I gave you the whole technique: how to build that house, the walls, and on the top also with grass and wooden beams. On the grass, it should be about five centimeters thick, then on top again cow dung. Over it again, three centimeters of nice grass so no water comes in, and inside also cow dung. That is why cows—in India, those cows which came out of the fourteen ratnas of the ocean, from which came the Kāmadhenu. Kāma means our wish; all our wishes are fulfilled, and she gives and gives, ever giving milk. It is said that in the body of the cow, there are so many holy energies. In India, you see many pictures of cows. Where the cow is living, there is no lightning; from the sky, electricity will not fall down. No lightning will hit where the cow is. When there is an earthquake, where the cow is standing will not be demolished. Where the cow is, no ghost will come. Sometimes a ghost comes in the dark, cold winter, and someone looks through the window at night, and children immediately cover their faces. This is a joke, but there is a ghost, meaning negative radiance, negative energy. That is very special in cows, and that is why the milk of that cow is a medicine. Drink only one cup in the morning: pure milk directly from the cow, and for half an hour, do not eat or drink anything. This is also Kāya Kalpa. So, you should have one cow near your hut. She will protect you, and you will feed her. The radiance, the light—believe me, it is not a story, not a children's tale; it is reality, it is the truth. Therefore, we protect cows, and that is why they are called holy cows. Holy because they came out of the churning of the ocean, and all divine energies, all devas, are in the body of the cow. Everything from her is medicine, except one thing: if you consume cow meat, sooner or later, there is an 80% chance cancer develops. What you call beef is not advised by ṛṣis to eat. Prāṇa—there is a different prāṇa. In your body, it is also prāṇa: prāṇa and apāna. How is our apāna when it goes out of the body? That is very clear evidence. When you inhale, it is very pure, nice energy. Like now we have flowers, meadows smelling so nice, and you inhale this prāṇa. And what do you exhale? When you release the prāṇa, for some seconds you have to hold your nose. This shows how much impurity is in our body. You know how much human stool stinks and how much human urine stinks. Where does this come from? Impurity in the body. Prāṇāyāma cleans everything. Every day, every minute, how many cells die in the body? That can only be purified through prāṇāyāma—passing urine, stool, sweating, exhaling—but constantly tissues are dying inside. When we have more sattvic prāṇa and sattvic food, our body is more pure. Then there is long life, relaxation, happiness, and clear thoughts. Until the last minute of your life, you are awakened, aware, conscious. You have all your memories. Mostly, people who consume meat lose their memories and everything. In the last minute, they do not even know what they are talking about. That is a result of tāmasic food and consuming meat, dead bodies, dead food. Yoga is that science for humans to live healthy, happy, and long, to do something good for the world, and to achieve liberation. It is not like a religion in that way. Of course, every religion is good, but religion is a principle, like Yama and Niyama. What is in Yama and Niyama is the principle of religion. What is said in the Bible, the Ten Commandments, that is the ten Yama and Niyama: five Yama and five Niyama. Patañjali said this, and Patañjali was two thousand years before Jesus. So it was there, everything. So, Kāya Kalpa is living healthy. Prāṇa and singing bhajans are peaceful. Do more prāṇāyāma. If you say, "I will do it today and not tomorrow," it does not help. You have to clean constantly. You clean your nice glass table very nicely, close the windows, close the house door, and go to work. In the evening, there is dust on it. Similarly, no matter how much we purify, impurity will come. Even that kind of dust which comes must be something pure. Or there is pollution from diesel. Diesel is good, but when burning, what kind of pollution comes? In our body, mostly the body becomes stinky when we consume grain—any kind of grain, wheat, rice, barley, etc. That creates gases in our body, but we are used to it generation after generation. You cannot quit, and that is why there is a big movement called vegan. Vegans, I think, do not eat grains? Do they eat grains? Yes? Okay, but grains make gases. Okay, so is that. Then your ātmā, your jīvātmā, is very relaxed and happy, with a long life. Can you imagine twenty-four hours without taking the telephone in your hand, looking at a newspaper, or listening to radios? It is not easy to renounce. Renounce and enjoy—this is not easy. So, how much can you give up? In old times, we did not have all this. Three decades ago, there was no mobile phone, only telephones, and sometimes we had to get connections. Still, we were surviving. We were driving from Vapes to Vienna and did not telephone anywhere. Ask the person who drives from VIP to Vienna how many times they telephone. We could survive without this too, but we got this facility. At that time, we did not have many comforts, but we were happy. Now we have many comforts, but we are not happy. Therefore, it is said in a very nice bhajan: "Sannivana Sattva Guru Namah Kamasthana." Those who deny everything, renounce everything, we call them holy. Those who have everything, we do not say they are holy. That is different. Therefore, we renounce and just be the devotee, worship, and learn from Gurudeva. So, sing the bhajan: "Amma Kāmasthāna." One bhakta from Germany is living in Vancouver, and another bhakta, the son of our Dayā Māta from Vancouver. Both have children and family and are living in what is called Vancouver, Ireland. In that Vancouver, Ireland, this man from Germany, Haripuri is his name, built a two-floor house, a big house for the families, with a big kitchen, dining room, staircase, living room, sleeping rooms, bathrooms, and everything—all constructed from natural material: grass, mud, and different things. Not a single iron needle inside and no other material. It is a beautiful house. When you sit and sleep there, it is full of prāṇa. The walls are thick, nearly one meter or half a meter, and very strong. When you go to Vancouver, you should go and see that house. I think they are already building the second house. So, natural life is a natural life. Therefore, when you do prāṇāyāma, have pure energy, pure food—solid and liquid—and prāṇāyāma, then immediately meditating, your citta vṛtti is there. Nirodha: all citta vṛttis are neutralized. All comes to one point: comfortable, happy, relaxed. "Par se pramāṇa āge pratīt ho adhyātma pratīt chara, chara kī ātmā." Par se pramāṇa āge: that ātmā is beyond pramāṇa, beyond evidence. This evidence is everywhere where consciousness dwells through this ātmā. Par se paramāṇa ātmā: par means crystal clear, transparent, true and true. Paramāṇa: again, this is evidence there. Pratīt ho adhyātma: and there, pratīt, you know, that is that ātmā, that feeling. Adhyātma is spirituality only. Niradhara ho ādhāra ho is niradhara. Niradhara means it has no base, no ground anywhere. It is in the air, levitations. So, it does not need any ādhāra, no foundation, no pillars. It is just in the air: nirādhāra ho ādhāra ho. But though they are in this space, they are the hold for all. Everyone is living on that power; we are all existing on that. "Abhichala Ātmā." That Ātmā is Abhichala. Abhichala means no movement. It is Achala, not Achala. Achala is that sky. Chala is what objects are; the object is moving, not this space. So, the ātmā is not moving anymore. Our vṛttis, as long as we are connected too much to this material life, we wander here and there. So, chala and achala: chala is all charā-chal, everything moving. Achala is no movement. That is that Ātmā, that is Gurudev's Ātmā. "Śrī Guru Ātmā Parmāt. Sakal jag ke yantra jami chara, charki ātmā, prabhuchara charki ātmā, dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān kī, Deveśvara Mahādeva kī." So, all is called the play of prāṇa, the power of prāṇa, the miracle of prāṇa, the reality of prāṇa.
