What a joy, what a glory, what a bliss to have darśana or to see the Gurudev, to be with Gurudev. This bhajan was written by our beloved Satgurudev, holy Gurujī. Now we come to our subject, Kuṇḍalinī. All the energy and nāḍīs—nāḍīs means the nerves, the 72,000 nerves. Out of them, these four nāḍīs are very important. They are balancing, they are guiding, they supply the energy, etc. Iḍā, Piṅgalā and Suṣumnā, these are the three main nāḍīs. Symbolically, in yoga we also say Gaṅgā, Yamunā, and Sarasvatī. Gaṅgā means the holy river Ganga, Yamunā is the holy river Yamuna, and the Sarasvatī river. These are the three mighty rivers. The two rivers are flowing above, and Sarasvatī is flowing underground. That was in some yugas; there was a big earthquake, and this river sank down, but it is still flowing. In a particular part of India, you can see the groundwater is still from the Sarasvatī, very good quality water. The Sarasvatī River was very wide, like the Amazon River, or maybe bigger. On the Sarasvatī River, to the west side, the people were living. They moved towards the west, and they were known as Āryas. Other ones who were living on this part, the bank of the river, there were the Dravidians, and these different people. So the people who were living in the western side, these are like Europeans, and the North Indian people, all belong to that side. Okay, this is a different story. The Vedas were written in a spoken form on the banks of the river Sarasvatī, and there were many, many ṛṣis. There is a mighty mountain, it's called the Hindu Kush mountain. The Hindu Kush mountain is one of the oldest mountains, and that is coming, beginning from India, and it's called the Aravali hills, where they mostly... You find they have the granite stones, very hard stones, and also the marble stones. It's coming, and then it's coming to the ocean. It goes under the ocean till Afghanistan, and from Afghanistan, it goes till the very middle of Turkey. These hills are called the Hindu Kush. There were many ṛṣis and saints living there. But that continued going further, the mountains, the whole earth is a mountain. Then come the Alps mountains in Europe, beginning in Austria and Switzerland, and so on. So Alp is a Sanskrit word; Alp means little. In the morning, when we call our, in India, morning breakfast, that's called Alp-āhāra. So they say, don't eat too much, little. And in Europe, and this way, people are talking differently. Eat a lot at breakfast, then eat a little in the middle, at midday, and very little in the evening. But on the other side, there is a different way: Alpahāra. And āhāra, for the yogīs. So ācāra, vicāra, āhāra, vihāra. These are the four rules to be happy, be successful, be safe, and be good. And these are the four principles one should follow. And that first is called āhāra. Āhāra means nourishment. Āhāra should be a little eating, energies in the... The less food you eat, the more energy there is. As much as you eat, that energy is getting dim, because the body cannot absorb everything. So, it's our test. It's a test to eat more, and a little one piece more, and after that is something more, and then after comes a cake, and then after comes a coffee, and with the coffee comes some biscuits, etc., etc. And after come some fruits. So, there are so many things. Alpāhāra, little, then you have more energy, more strength, and better memory. So, āhāra. Vihāra. Vihāra means to walk. Go there where it is a harmonious atmosphere. Go there where the people are nice to you. Go there where there is a safe place. Go there where there is good air and everything. So, go somewhere which is a safe and good place. Vihāra. Vihāra means walking, hiking, mountains. Then comes the vicāra. Vicāra means thoughts. Have good thoughts. Think good. Think good. Ācāra means the behavior, good behavior. If you have a very good social education and your behavior is good, you are not selfish, you are kind. That's very important. So that's called the vicāra. Āhāra, vihāra, ācāra, the behavior, and vicāra, positive thinking, good thinking. So, these are the four principles for the yogīs or for all humans to be on the safety side and be healthy, be good, do the four things, which are this: āhāra, nourishment; vihāra, going where we are going; ācāra, the behavior; and vicāra, good thoughts. If you cannot think and speak positive, then at least don't think negative. Who are you to judge someone? Who are you to judge someone if someone is bad or good? Look to thyself, how you are. Then you will see, yes, same thing. You are doing the same. The thing is, you have the thoughts, but that we hide. We are very expert at blaming others. We don't accept. And that is not the nature of the yogī. So this is the principle, and this was the river. So these are the three rivers: Gaṅgā, Yamunā, and Sarasvatī. Now, these three are coordinating with three nāḍīs. Nāḍīs means the nerves, and a nerve is not a nāḍī. So the translation, if we do, there is no word in the English language for the nāḍīs. Therefore, we say nerve. If there is nothing else, then let's say the nerve. Between all the blind, he who has one eye is a king. That's it. So, okay. So now these three rivers symbolize the Iḍā Nāḍī, Piṅgalā Nāḍī, and Suṣumnā Nāḍī: Gaṅgā, Yamunā, and Sarasvatī. These are the three Nāḍīs. Yes, my dear, we are talking about Kuṇḍalinī Yoga. Yes, and then we have to come to Manipūra. But I am making such solid explanations. You will never fail anywhere. You will be, how to say, a universal engineer. Everything you can repair and do. That's kuṇḍalinī science. So our inner, our inner energy, our inner mechanism, and you are your own inner engineer. So nowhere will you fail. No one can misguide you. So Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumṇā, Gaṅgā, Yamunā, Sarasvatī. When all comes together, then we get higher consciousness, samādhi. And what means all comes together? All are harmonizing, and all this energy flows into one. That time our consciousness rises up to the sahasrāra cakra, which is here on the top of the head. So Gaṅgā, Yamunā, Sarasvatī. Now these three nāḍīs come together. This is known as the rivers. Now, when all three rivers come together, three rivers meeting the three, the Trinity: Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. Vishnu, Brahma, and the Creator, Vishnu, Shiva. This we call Saṅgam. In our Sanskrit word, in yogic language, it's called Saṅgam. Saṅgham. Saṅgham means coming together. Saṅgha. And Saṅgha means the company. Now you are all, we are together here. It is Saṅgha. You can say Satsaṅga. Satsaṅga. Sat means the truth, and saṅga means together. So these three rivers' building comes together. It's called Saṅgham. And that is a holy place. Okay. Now, this is what we said: Gaṅgā, Yamunā, Sarasvatī. Now, this is symbolic. This is a river which is flowing within our body. Yes, and it is holy. It is divine. And that we should keep clean through the prāṇāyāmas. Candra bhedana, Sūrya bhedana. Candra is the moon. Sūrya is the sun. We spoke this morning about Nāḍīs. So Candra bhedana means only inhalation, exhalation through the moon nāḍī, this left nostril, or sūrya nāḍī; we do inhale, exhale with the right one, and that is the sūrya bhedana. After comes nāḍī śodhana, so either we said bhedana or śodhana, and then... It comes anuloma viloma: inhale through right, exhale through left. This is nāḍī śodhana. Inhale through right, left, exhale through right. Inhale through left, exhale through right. Inhale through left, and the other side. Inhale through right, exhale through left. Inhale right, exhale left. This is called nāḍī śodhana. The first one is called nāḍī bhedanā. It means we open this nāḍī. We purify this nāḍī. Then we are going to unite on both sides. Then the third one is called Anuloma Viloma. Inhale through the left nostril, exhale through the right nostril. Inhale through the right nostril, exhale through the left nostril. This becomes one round. So inhale left, exhale right. Inhale right, exhale left. This is the second round. Likewise, your teacher will tell you which nāḍī, how you practice. These three nāḍīs are very, very important for the awakening of the kuṇḍalinī and the balancing of this power, the energy of the awakening of the kuṇḍalinī. So, now, where they come together is called saṅgham, the unity. And Saṅgam means there is a meeting of Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Śiva. Puruṣa, Prakṛti, and Brahma, Shiva. These are three. So three meet here at the forehead. This is called Saṅgam. The second name is called Triveṇī. Triveṇī Saṅgam. This is also a Sanskrit word. Triveṇī. Tri means three, and veṇī means river. So again, these three rivers meet together: Gaṅgā, Yamunā, Sarasvatī. First, Gaṅgā, Yamunā, Sarasvatī, or Candra, Sūrya, and Suṣumnā, or Triveṇī. So when you take a book in your hand, and you read, and you say, "Oh, that's talking about Triveṇī, and Swāmījī didn't tell us about Triveṇī." So Triveṇī means all three coming together, that's a Triveṇī. Another name for this place here is called Bhṛūkūṭī. These are all yogic languages. You should know what you are learning. And this is the knowledge from Mahāprabhujī, which Gurujī has given to you. You can utilize, but you should, how do you say, emphasize yoga in life. My Mahāśrānand or Holy Gurujī. Now, where was I? Oh, you have a good memory. That's good. Bhrū means our, these eyebrows. Yes, eyebrows. So this is the eyebrows, bhrū. Kūṭī means the center point. Here, where we have a tilak, Indians—ladies put it between the eyebrows, here near, and gents make it here, a little up. So, bhṛū-kūṭī means balance between intellect and emotion. And between these two is the concentration or knowledge. So, bhṛū-kūṭī. Tri-kūṭī, where the three rivers are meeting. Tri-veṇī, also three rivers are meeting, or it's called Ājñā Cakra. In this book you have, you will read Ājñā Cakra. Ājñā Cakra has a mantra. So, Hum. So, Hum. And so, "Ham" means "he," and "Hum" means "I." I am that, that I am. Ha, Tha. Candra and Sūrya. These two come together, become unity, and that's called yoga. Haṭha now becomes here: Haṭha and coming together is yoga, so Haṭha Yoga. This is the Haṭha Yoga. Left and right coming together is Haṭha Yoga now. There is another name, my God. Everything is within our body. Yathā brahmāṇḍi tathā piṇḍi. What I told you yesterday: what is in the universe is in your body, and what is not in your body is also not in the universe, so also it is. Called the name Hiraṇya Garbha. Hiraṇya Garbha. Hiraṇya means gold. Gold has also many, many names. Hiraṇya Garbha means embryo. So Hiraṇya Garbha, the golden egg, and this golden egg is symbolizing the whole universe. And in this egg, inside is that Brahman, that Ātmā, that awareness, that consciousness, whatever you call it. So, what are you celebrating or making some festival called Easter? And Easter egg and rabbit? Rabbits never give eggs, never. As a baby's rabbit. But there may be the rabbit found somewhere an egg and doesn't know what to do. So, otherwise, this is from the Vedas and Purāṇas and Upaniṣads, and as a golden embryo in the whole universe. So the whole universe is like a golden egg. And inside is that Ātmā, knowledge, light, God, whatever you call it. So we are that golden egg in the womb of the Ākāśa, the earth. And so, this is another name, Hiraṇyagarbha. And finally, it is said, the third eye. The third eye is here at the bhrūmadhya. Bhrūmadhya. Here is the third eye. And when this third eye opens, then you become Trikāladarśī. Tri. Tri means the three. Kāl means time. The past, the present, and the future. He said, Trikāl Darśī knows what was in life, many, many lives past, till today, and knows what is now going on, and what will be in the future. All these three are called Trikāl Darśī. My dear, Kuṇḍalinī is already awakened. Don't believe that Kundalini is awakened, and the body goes like this. Gurudev, Gurudev, hold me, please. He said, yes, yes, please. Okay, okay... What's happening? Something is burning in my spinal column. Oh, they'll put cold water on it. So, something is going up. That is not a kuṇḍalinī awakening, please, please... Be normal. So, through my lectures, kuṇḍalinī is already awakened. So when you will get this knowledge, you are already there. So, trikāladarśī: past, present, and future. That time, the third eye opens. Now, the third eye opens means not here something will go away. Yes? It has only Shiva. Only Shiva has it. And Shiva, that's called Shiva's eye. And Shiva opens this eye only when the most negative energy comes. Then Shiva opens his third eye. That time, it comes like a fire, Śivajyotī. That's like an atom bomb. Everything will be burned. All is burned. Therefore, because of Śiva, we said, "Please don't open your eyes, third eye." So he's always, as long as the third eye doesn't open, he's very great. Very nice, very humble, the one of the best, God Śiva, with little prayer, with little request, he said, "Okay." But when the third eye opens, oh God, then the rocks are melting. This is what you call the Vulcan. And when Śiva awakes, that is like... Earthquake, but if he's kind, all is balanced. Third eye: past, present, and future. This is the trikālā draṣṭī. So draṣṭī means vision. So there is one radio channel, no? The dṛṣṭi point. Did you hear the dṛṣṭi point? Yes. But that's not my name, okay? Not I give, it is somebody else who has given a sender in radio broadcasting called the draṣṭi point. And draṣṭi means vision. Point means on the one point, not left and right. So it is it. How you think when you are opening your eyes and looking at someone, like that how you think, like that the world appears to you. And it is inside; automatically, the vivekā gives us that knowledge. When we see a little baby, maybe the animals or birds or the humans, a little baby, everybody says, "Oh, beautiful little face." The summer is very sweet, even the pig babies, you know. Babies, or comes a dog. In Germany, they said, in North Germany, the people don't smile. If you want them to smile, then bring one dog. Then they said, "That's so beautiful." How are you? And everybody happy, happy talking, and otherwise you say them, "Good day, good day." And now they said, "Don't say 'good,' you know, they say talk good and talk, you know." So they don't say "good and talk," they say "talk." So they say "talk." I said, "Thīk. Thīk thak." So there's a word called thīk thak. Thīk means good, and thak means all is okay. Everything is okay. Such good words. The Germans have a nice language, nice words, and it is very good. The German language is also very, very good. Well, anyhow, so Trikāl Darśī, so Veśī Draṣṭi, Veśī Śraṣṭi. Now, when you look at a little baby, look there, but automatically comes that kind of love. It is such pure love. There is no, you are not expecting money from this person, child. You are not expecting anything. But that child itself, the baby itself, doesn't matter from whom. Humans or animals, it has such a divine, humble, pure love that automatically, without talking, transfers the humbleness, kindness, purity, cleanness, love. That's how we see, but what we see, what we think, light comes. Or when you see your mother, or when you see your father, and when you see your wife, or you see some other girl, or other boy, how is it changing automatically in the eyes? Because the eyes are coordinating to our inner self, and the inner self is very, very different. So, this is Śiva's eye. The third eye is Śiva's. And so when the three nāḍīs come there and this bhṛūkūṭī opens, trikūṭī opens, then comes the trikāla-darśī. Now, trikāla darśī is not always that you know everything. You know, everything is, all doors are locked, cut it. You have to meditate, sit, and then, if you want, you can see. But if you tell everyone that I am Trikadāsī, and I can tell what you will do tomorrow, what you are doing at home, I can tell you on the telephone what you are doing. When you do this, then automatically the whole ability is gone. This is the condition that, even for yourself, you should not utilize for some things. Even that you see that something will happen with you, you have only to pray to God and not to say, "Oh, let's go other side." So this is, but you know what's happening? You see everything. That means your kuṇḍalinī has already activated. And already going up and down, so this is the nāḍīs, prāṇayāmas, energy, visions, knowledge, concentration, awareness, emotion, mind, desires—many, many things are on this cakra where you have the Tilak. And when you make the tilak here, that means your third eye is getting activated. And one day it will open. So when you give the tilak, it's not that it's a religious thing. It's not a tradition; it involves spiritual things. And when the ladies have this tilak here, then it means she's married. But there's another energy to this, great things for this. So, likewise, the energy comes from Nāḍī Śodhana, Prāṇāyāma, Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumṇā. Candra, Sūrya, and Brahmaṇāḍī: the emotion, the intellect, and the Brahma knowledge. Shiva, Brahma, and Vishnu. So these are different symbolical explanations. These are the symbols, and the symbols have immense energy and meaning for us. Now, these three nāḍīs which are coming, Sahasrāra Cakra is here on top of the head, and here it is the soul enters into the body. Jīvātmā, the jīva is already there, already in the navel, but that conscious ātmā, pure ātmā, is coming from the sahasrāra cakra here. Sahasra means thousand petals, and here it opens that cakra. So when it opens, then you have our Brahma Jñānī. Brahma means the supreme, beyond your heaven and all, whatever you say, is beyond that: my god, your god, their god. Oh God, no God, by God, they are all finished. All which is above Brahma, that is only one: eko'haṁ baho syāmi. After that, it is said, "One in all and all in one." Brahma satyaṁ, jagan mithyā. Then it comes, this word called "Brahma satyaṁ, jagan mithyā," and this. Word, you should know also, very good: Brahma is that the supreme, the highest God, is not dogma. It is not your God, not my God, not their God, but our God. That is no form. There is no form, but He is there. One without second, Brahma Jñānī. And so our aim is to get the knowledge of the Brahman. Then it's called Brahma Jñānī. So, what we have in India, forecast, what they are talking. So, Brahmin, Brahmin means who knows the Brahman, that is a Brahmin. Other is a, okay, normally we will say pūjārī or priest or something like that. And here is the Brahman, here is that knowledge. And that has to come to this higher place. A Brahmin, the highest personality or person of caste, is one who knows Brahman. That is a Gurudev. Therefore, it is said in the mantra, "Brahmanandam param sukhadam." Brahmananda. Ānanda means bliss, the higher, supreme bliss. That is Brahmananda, supreme bliss. Brahmanandam param sukhadam. That is the highest happiness, joy, pleasantness, whatever is the best thing. The rest is the desires. And these desires, which you are having, the senses, the sensual enjoyment, that is temporary. For a while you are happy, then you will fall down, and you go further down and down. But we are very weak, we see the ice cream and we say, okay, we can have a little bit, why not? But Swamiji, we have a program; let's go. He says, "No, it's our program, we wait five minutes, let's have ice cream, no?" There is no compromise. So, this worldly joy does not have that enjoyment which you want to enjoy. That joy which you want to enjoy has less joy than the sorrows of that enjoyment. So Brahma Loka, Brahma Janeti, Brāhmaṇa, Eko Brahma Dutīya Nāsti, where there are two, is not a reality. Only one, only one, and that is called eternal, everlasting, unbreakable, immortal, unborn, will not die, will not come and not go. That time, you are only the ānanda, supreme ānanda. That time, your kuṇḍalinī is completely manifested. It's manifested in sahasrāra cakra, and then you give the darśana to others. Darśan means to see someone. You were singing bhajan. Chetanayanandagana ho, Gurudev darshana dana ho. Chetanayanandagana ho, Chetanayanandagana ho, Gurudev darshana dana ho. There you come to the samādhi. Then, samādhi. So there are many different kinds of samādhis. But still, it is too far from us, so we will not—I will not confuse you too much. This, you know, now, Candrabeḍanā, Sūryabeḍanā, Nāḍīśodhana, Anuloma, Viloma, Kuṇḍalinī, Cakra, Trikuṭīs, Bṛkuṭīs, Triveṇīs, and Saṅgam, and what is more, Trikāl Darśī, these, that. It is too much for you. This is a very rich food. We can't digest, but we have little time because we have to come to the Manipūra. And Manipūra is so far. Maṇi means jewel, and pura means the city. It is the city of the jewels that is the richest one here, Maṇipura. And some Buddhist lines they call "Maṇipadme huṁ." Some don't say. Buddhism has so many different paths, different kinds of Buddhism. The Muslims have also many, many different kinds of Muslims, and Christians have also many, many different kinds of Christians, and Hindus have also many, many different kinds of this and that. I believe Brahmā, others believe Kṛṣṇa, others believe whom, others believe this, others believe nobody, others believe Śakti, others believe Bhakti, others believe Gurujī, and my name is Hanumānjī, Gaṇeśjī, Gajānanjī, this, this. How many? So it's good that they believe. That is the best thing. Can you imagine that somebody gives us eating every day only rice? Only rice? Evening rice, morning rice, noon rice. So it's good to have something between some kind of yogurt, or some salad, or some vegetables, or something different. And so it is good if the whole garden is full of roses, red roses, but it is boring. But some roses are yellow, some white, some blue, some red, some pink. No, oh, beautiful garden, beautiful. So this is the beauty of this God's creation. Oh God, beautiful. Oh God, beautiful. Oh God, beautiful.... In the mountain and the forest, in the meadow and the desert, in the meadow. Oh God, beautiful. Oh God, beautiful... Oh God. In the rain and the rivers, in the rain, in the lake and the ocean, in the lake. Oh God, beautiful. Oh God, beautiful.... Beautiful everywhere is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. And so it is, that is good. Someone like this, someone like this is a beauty. And that makes a harmony, makes oneness, so diversity into the unity. And that is a beauty. So tomorrow we will come again with the chakras, kuṇḍalinī's. And let's see me tomorrow where the Kuṇḍalinī is wandering. In which chakra is it, you know. So, till tomorrow. Wish you all the best. And till tomorrow. Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān. Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān, Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Devpurījī Bhagavān.
