Please ensure there is no physical contact. Maintain a space of about one foot (30-40 cm) between each person on all sides. You may adjust your position forward slightly. Make yourselves comfortable. Sit upright with a straight spine. Rest your hands on your knees or thighs. If you have a guru mantra, take your mālā in your right hand. Form Chin Mudrā with your left hand: join the tip of the thumb and index finger, extending the other fingers. The thumb represents Parabrahmapramātmā (the Supreme Self), and the index finger represents Jīvātmā (the individual soul). The yogi's aim (lakṣya) is the union (milan) of ātmā and Paramātmā. This is the symbol (saṅket) of this mudrā. The five fingers represent the three guṇas—sattva, rajas, and tamas. During meditation, be established beyond the three guṇas (triguṇātītam). This is the meaning, essence, and effect of this mudrā. Through this practice, all thoughts will become calm, and your awareness will turn inward. Your palm may face upward or rest on your knee. With your right hand, hold the mālā given by your master and repeat your mantra. That mantra will guide you. Simply repeat it with the mālā. There is no need for excessive concentration; the mālā itself will guide you. If you do not have a mālā, you should acquire one. If you do not have a mantra, receive one. If you already have a guru mantra, do not seek a second one. The guru is given only once; the guru is the guru. You may visit other masters to learn, receive blessings, or serve, but as for mantra, your guru is the one who gave you your proper mantra. Sit straight. Relax your elbows and shoulders. Look around the room now if you wish. Afterwards, you should not open your eyes. Keep them closed, as there will be nothing new to see; everything is the same as what is here. Now, relax your whole body and close your eyes. Relax completely from your toes to the top of your head, and from the top of your head down to your toes. Relax your elbows. When the elbows are relaxed, the shoulders relax. When the shoulders are relaxed, the lungs relax. When the lungs are relaxed, the stomach muscles relax. There is no tension in the stomach. When the stomach is relaxed, the spine relaxes. When the spine is relaxed, the neck relaxes. When the neck is relaxed, and the facial and head muscles are relaxed, it means your brain is relaxed. Withdraw yourself from the external world. Bring your awareness into this hall. Be aware of your presence here. "Yes, I am here in this hall with my brothers and sisters. I am relaxed." Feel the atmosphere before us—the beautiful altar with the monument of our Satgurus: Devadedev, Deveśvara Mahādeva, Bhagavān Dīpanayana Mahāprabhū, and Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī. I know I am sitting in this room. My eyes are closed. I am moving from the outer world to my inner world, in front of the temple of Śāntī and Gurudev. Ānandahī ānand, is jīv ko virām dijiye, viśrām, viśrām. Shareer mein kisi bhi prakaar kā tanāv nahīṁ, apne shareer ko bilkul dhīlā chhoḍ dijiye, aur apne guru mantra diyā huā usko japte rahiye, āṅkhe bandh. Meri awaaz aapko ek nād kī rūp mein us anant kī taraf le jā rahī hai. Meri āvāz āpko kisī prakār kī vikṣyaptā nahīṁ pāda karegā. Relax and be aware of your being here. Listen to my voice, that monotone sound. It will lead you to the highest consciousness. Relax from your toes to the top of your head, and from the top of your head to your toes. Your entire physical body—your eyelids, your eyebrows—is relaxed. The body is straight and upright. The stomach muscles are relaxed. Kāya is sthiraṁ; the whole body is motionless. The feeling of motionlessness will create ānanda. Aapke śarīr ke andar ek wo urjā paidā hogī, jo kī aapko ānanda kā svarūpa dikhāyegā. Feel the motionlessness of the body. When you have completely relaxed the muscles, with comfortable joints, normal breath, and a motionless body, your aura becomes balanced. You can feel and see, with closed eyes, an aura about 30 centimeters around your whole body. Uraja Shakti, relax. Hum abhi humāre bhautika śarīra kī jagata mēṁ hī hai. Hamārā bhautika śarīra jo hai, Param Pitā Paramātmā ne ye śarīra diyā hai. This is a great gift. God has given us this body. Relax. The body is not everything, but everything is nothing without the body. Kāyā is therium, motionlessness of the body. Or my body's energy, the aura of my own body. Let your body be as it is now. Let it be motionless. Now, bring your attention and awareness to your breath. I know that I inhale. I know that I exhale. Swās par swās kriyā. Main swās li rahūn aur main swās dhīrī dhīrī nikal rahūn. Śarīra aur śvāsa kā bahut antar hai. Lekin ab svāsa aur śarīra dono kī bīca mēṁ samanvaya ho rahā hai. The breath is different from the body. The body is different from the breath. But now, there is harmonization, a coordinating oneness of body and mind. At the time of exhalation, the body contracts. At the time of inhalation, the body expands. Coordinate and feel this oneness with your prāṇa, with your prāṇa śakti. Relax. Agar hamārī andhrī vṛtti chal rahī hai, vichār chal rahī hai, toh ham śarīr aur śvāsa par śvāsa ke sāth, Uṣ ānandh śaurūp, pramātmā kā śaurūp hī samjhe hamāre andhar mein, ānandh hī ānandh mehsūs kare. That kind of thought is flowing through our consciousness—the feeling of bliss through the union of body, breath, and energy. I know that I am inhaling. I know that I am exhaling. My body is motionless. I am comfortable. Now, focus your breath on the space between your navel and your throat. While breathing in, feel your breath move from your navel to your throat. While breathing out, feel it move from your throat to your navel. Ara urad. When we pour water into a vessel or bottle, the water goes down, but its level rises. When we pour water out, it flows down from the top. Similarly, while breathing in this manner, you will feel divine bliss and relaxation. If you feel discomfort or pain and cannot concentrate, you may change your posture slightly without disturbing others. If your knees ache, adjust your posture without moving your body, head, or shoulders—just continue with breath upon breath. Now, bring your awareness to the space between your eyebrows, the trikuṭī. Behind the forehead, within the lalāṭ, is the cidākāś. At the centre of the eyebrows, behind the forehead wall, is that space which you see now with eyes closed—dark, dark, dark. Kival imagination, amari chetana, amara awareness. To concentrate the mind (ekāgracitta), I am describing this imaginary form (kalpanā rūpī citra). Imagine the divine light (prakāś) that appears at dawn in the form of Brahm mūrt. Early morning, dark night, and suddenly dawn appears. Voh apne eyebrow kī bīch mein dekhne kī kośiś kījīye. But ākhāy ki palak ko upar nahī̃ uṭhānā hai. Do not move your eyelids up and down. You are beyond the body. Imagine the sunrise. See your body from behind. You are sitting facing the sunrise, and you see your body from the back—your head, your clothes, yourself sitting before the dawn. I know my Chidakāś. I am sitting in a very beautiful place, a nice meadow, gazing at the sunrise, motionless and peaceful. The dawn is rising within me, symbolically, as wisdom. No movements. Relax. Do not move even a small finger. Self-inquiry. Self-inquiry meditation of yoga in daily life. Ātmanubhūti. Ātmanubhūti. Now, bring your awareness back to your breath. I know that I am inhaling and exhaling. The breath process is comfortable and relaxed. My body is comfortable, and I feel my body expanding and contracting with the breath. I know that I'm inhaling and exhaling. I am here. Feel your whole body. During the home chanting, an extra word: find thyself in the world and send your blessings to the whole creation. Take a deep inhale and exhale. Kehra swāsa leo, dire dire swāsa chhoro do. Tin chaar baar pet se swāsa leṅge, pet se swāsa leṅge. Śarīra mat hilāo, gardana mat hilāo, śira mat hilāo. Remain motionless. Now, take a deep inhale, and all together we will chant, "Oh." Exhale. Inhale. Oh. Resume normal breath. Gently move your shoulders and elbows. Move your head, bending it slightly forward and back. Gently bend your head to the right and to the left. Just relax. Place your hands on your face and gently massage your eyelids and facial muscles with your palms. Now, open your eyes slowly and move your hands. Bend forward, place your hands on the ground, and touch your forehead to the ground. Feel the circulation moving towards your head. Rakṣañcalan āpke mastiṣk kī aur daud rahā hai, sabhī gyānendriyoṁ ko prāpt rakṣañcar ho rahā hai, supplying enough fresh blood towards all the five gyānendriyas. Feel your palms on the ground, receiving reflective energy from Mother Earth. Slowly raise your head up. Uprā jāye, aur dono hāth wāpas karne mā. Asato mā, sadgamaya, tamaso mā, jyotir gamaya, mṛtyor mā, oṁ śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ. Once more. First, I will chant, and then you will repeat. Now, place your mālā garland back on or hold it in your hand. If you do not have one, please acquire it tomorrow.
