The subject is Rāja Yoga. Rāja Yoga is the yoga of discipline. And therefore, Patañjali said it very clearly at the very beginning: Atha Yogānuśāsanam. Atha Yogānuśāsanam. Anuśāsanam means discipline. Anuśāsanam means kaṣa. And discipline is not only for some time. Atha means now. Atha means just now, not tomorrow, not after one hour—just now. Begin from the point where you have forgotten. So, Anuśāsan. If we look at this planet, and at life as a whole, what is our planet? It is a living planet. Each and every plant, each and every blade of grass, is growing disciplined. Growing disciplined. I am a person. It is a question mark in your awareness, in your chidākāśa. Abhiṣeka. Abhiṣeka. So, though we know that we are doing wrong, it is not human. Nature acts according to its dharma. But we humans do not act according to human dharma. And that is one of the biggest problems on the earth. Who knows when what will happen? Sometimes they say there was a big bomb. Who knows? Three years ago, time passes quickly. There in the Himalayas, the holy place, the seat of Śiva, is called the Śiva temple. Badrinath, Kedarnath. Badrinath is Viṣṇu. Kedarnath is Śiva. Beautiful place. And from where the river is coming, Gaṅgā. These are the holy places: Badrināth, Kedārnāth, and Gangotri. And Maman, Pochke. So there are three holy places: Kedarnāth, Badrināth, and… And Kailāś Parvat, the holy Kailāś. Gangotri, Janose, these are just little things. Gangotri and the other ones are little things. You are sweating on this side, and you are sweating from here also. You sweat from the forehead and also from the armpits. So Gaṅgā and Yamunā, they are under our armpits and so on. So Gaṅgā and Yamunā, it is like when you sweat from both armpits. But Kailāś Parvat, Badrināth, Kedārnāth, and the kingdom of Alakhpurījī. So, people used to go for enjoyment. What kind of enjoyment? Many, many hotels, meat, alcohol. A wrong honeymoon. One day, Śiva opens his eyes and Śakti said, “Lord, what māyā you have created here?” He said, “You don’t like it?” “No.” He closed his eyes. Pārvatī didn’t know what to do, but he simply withdrew; he did not need to argue. He closed his eyes, and he said, “Gaṅgā, come down.” Come down. And she came. Within no time, when Gaṅgā comes, he is the great power. In a moment, what we call the cloud broke. Only abhiṣeka is there, and what we call the rainbow. Look, that is Śiva. That rainbow is a mālā, a garland around Śiva. But before that, good thoughts, viveka, finished away, buddhi. And buddhi always works in a different direction then. Buddhi needs control. Like a best rider needs the control of that mighty horse. My God, Alpách, you are just like a mosquito on his body, but a good rider. When he just jumps on his back, that horse knows this is a master. So who controls them? Their buddhi, their intellect. It is polluted. And therefore, what can they expect? Only destruction. So there was a Divine Mother’s temple. And that was in the middle of the dam. And above the Śiva they built the dam. And they removed the temple somewhere else. So, that was the Śakti that came to Śiva. What is that? You are sitting here and looking. He looked and he closed his eyes. She said, “Hmm.” Action. Śiva said, “Om.” Then she knew what is going on. So the whole cloud broke, and the dam’s quality was not good because their buddhi was like that, and the big dam broke. When the pralaya comes, then everything is lost. So villages after villages disappeared. So much destruction. Now they do not dare to build a hotel. There are big holes. And one never knows when the second time will happen. The last three years were peaceful, only Śiva. All houses went away. Kedarnath Temple, where Śiva is, was right in the middle of this flood. The most powerful. And no doubt, one would think this temple would be washed away. There is a Jyotirliṅga. It is Śiva himself. Śakti was standing. I made a mistake. Now Śiva will go away from here. The temple will be destroyed. Can you imagine a 20- to 30-meter-high flood wave? It is impossible. Many animals, many elephants, all washed in. Till Haridwar. Haridwar was also in alarm. So, a big rock came with this water. And a few meters away, in front of the Śiva temple, that rock stopped, and the flood went around like this. That rock was like Nandi to protect Śiva’s temple. So it was a big disaster. You could not see how terrible it was. For a hundred kilometers, on both sides, along the banks of the Gaṅgā, buildings were just falling down like this. Why? Oh man, those were the times. People had to go from Brno to Prague to see some little doctors, some little clinic. When people had to go from Brno to Prague to see a small clinic of some minor doctors, because everyone was living healthy, they had everything. Now, as many hospitals as there are, there are even more ill people. Thousands and thousands of hospitals, and still we are ill. Discipline to control your anger, hate, and jealousy, and know that I am the human—that is Rāja Yoga. Atha Yogānuśāsanam. Therefore, Anuśāsanam, discipline. Everything we do, we should have discipline. The road traffic: now, traffic regulations are given for discipline—red light, stop sign, speed limitation, careful, wildlife crossing, school children. Why? “Don’t drink and drive.” So they put “don’t,” then they delete it. What remains? “Drink and drive.” So it is in their mind. Don’t delete it. So no discipline. They have no discipline. Rāja Yoga makes humans disciplined in a positive way, with humbleness, kindness, honesty, truth, and many, many things. So, Yama and Niyama—this first, what we call the very important and very valuable, these ten commandments. When we pass this, then we go further. But do not think that it is only for one day. This is a lifelong journey. That is why we call it yoga in daily life. So these ten rules are to be followed lifelong; if we do not follow them, then yoga will not be successful. Lifelong. Then yoga, practice, āsanas, prāṇāyāma, they will come by themselves. And if you do not do āsanas or prāṇāyāma, it does not matter. You will breathe until you die. Even if you do not practice, God has given automatic prāṇāyāma. When you inhale, it takes a few seconds to exhale. Some seconds again, and we inhale. So kumbhaka is automatic. Pūraka, before recaka, is kumbhaka. So we will have prāṇāyāma. When you walk, you have prāṇāyāma, and when you sleep, we are very tired. How many hours are you making prāṇāyāma? In beautiful rhythm. That helps us, not these two minutes. That is it. How many hours? Yeah. And then, automatically after a certain age, we come to Kapālabhāti. Kapālabhāti or Bhastrikā, and God automatically, and Bhastrikā, and Bhastrikā… Even if you make coffee in the morning, you are aware that you do not burn your hand. So we are aware, and we walk and drive. Concentration, and we close our eyes—it is already meditation. Samādhi. Do not worry. Permanent samādhi. Samādhi. It will come one day. You do not need to train anything. That is called eternal Samādhi. And we pray for the soul to come to the eternal peace and light. So, these things God takes in His hands automatically. But God gave us, because we are human, and that is that Yama and Niyama, that we should follow. So, Rāja Yoga is self-confidence, self-awareness, and a bright intellect. So, a Rājayogī is comfortable, and a Rājayogī is ever happy because he follows the Yama and Niyama. So today our Swāmī Vivek Purī did great work. He made such a big white screen. And he wants that we, the white, we make colorful. So give the children some pens. They will draw something. So for that we have a projector. Pro. Pro you. For us. Projektor. But we have to have energy, jack up. Projector, everything is hanging there, so very soon it will come. Rāja Yoga PowerPoint. And I am looking forward. I have to learn. Maybe they have put something great. My PowerPoint is different. My PowerPoint is my words. Yes? Yeah, with one word, everybody is in. So the power point. So the power point. Gajanand, quickly, I mean, come on, so we will materialize Gajanand. Gajanand Ānand Karo, Gajanand Ānand Karo, Strilky Park Ke Andar. Yes, this is Strilky Park. For everybody in the Śrīlīlā Park, so we will talk every day for our yoga teacher training. Discipline in everything: discipline in eating, cooking, cleaning, washing, taking a shower, brushing teeth, shoes, cleaning shoes, socks, changing your socks once a month, every full moon day. So, sorry. And we see the beautiful Devpurījī’s light, the sunset, you see, beautiful. So, Śabda Pyārā Lageśa. Śabda, śabda means word. And in this Yama and Niyama, there are the words śabda. And this one word has so many good meanings. And opposite to this, one word can bring so many bad things. So, short and sweet. Śabda Brahma. The word is Brahman. The sound is Brahman. Yes. So that is why every god, every incarnation—they have no title, just Rāma. Not Dr. Rama, Professor Rama, Engineer Rama. We have an Indian: “Hello, who is there?” “Oh, I am Dr. Rāma.” “Rāma? Oh, my lord. When did you get a doctorate?” It is a good Krishna. Yes, Buddha. A Buddha? Buddha. But Buddha was Siddhartha. He was not a Buddha. This was named after Buddha. Buddha means enlightened intellect, Bodha. Bodha means knowledge, so Bodha became Buddha. Jesus, Jesus, or the director Jesus? No, was it Mohamed? Mohamed, did he write “Professor Mohamed”? No, no, Allah, Allah. You see, only two words: Allah, Krishna, Krishna, syllables, Rama, Rama, Ježíš. Very short, very short, but powerful. So as the small is more powerful, that is why I call it atom. It is not a honey atom, nor an energy atom. Just atoms. And so we have in our body also just cells. So, short but compact. So, śabda, just the word. Nādarūpa Parabrahma. So, śabda is very dear. Who understands my language? Not the language like Hindi or English or German or Austrian or Czech or Slovak. Who understands my language means my feelings, my knowledge. That is my friend. I am longing for that. Otherwise, you are always fighting. You said wrong, and he said no. You said wrong, and this is wrong, and that is wrong. Quarreling. Where there is no wisdom, there is quarreling. A wise one meets a wise one. Or they fight. These two principles, so Gajananjī will make… Śabda, yeah, Kī Jai. Bhagavān Kī Devādideva, Deveśvara Mahādeva Kī… So Rāja Yoga: every yoga teacher should have the knowledge of Rāja Yoga and read a good translation of the Patañjali Yoga Sūtra. They are very compact, but we need a commentary on it. And so, only an experienced one can do it. In books, you cannot write all. And we have our own translation. So every student should know what the different branches of yoga mean. And what is Rāja Yoga? So tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning, again we will have 10:30. Webcast. I wish you all the best and have a nice time. Welcome, all of you who came today.
