Weekend yoga seminar in Kranj (3/3)

Morning reflections encompass community support, meditation, and spiritual inquiry.

A morning program highlighted youth as the future, emphasizing yoga's role in ethical education and environmental love. Support for centers through donations was acknowledged, illustrating mutual aid. The practice of Nāda Yoga meditation with the mantra Ānandoham was guided. This sound vibration is said to recharge every cell, remove anxiety, and lead to inner peace and cosmic consciousness. It strengthens the body and dispels fear. Questions addressed concerns about war, a mysterious low sound attributed to electronic waves, and personal fears. The meditation itself was presented as the answer to transforming fear. Practical announcements regarding travel, help needed for an ashram, and future events were shared.

"Children are the culture of tomorrow, the future of the country, and the light of the world."

"Through this yoga meditation, you come to inner peace. It removes anxiety, tensions, and worries."

Yes, Arjuna. Once more, good morning. We had a very nice, divine program this morning with mantra initiation. The beautiful program from our juniors was wonderful. Children are the culture of tomorrow, the future of the country, and the light of the world. In which direction the youth go, in that direction will go the world. Yoga and the life of children provide a very positive ethical education—to awaken love in the heart towards nature and for the protection of the environment and society. That was the program. You saw their artwork. Yesterday we were announcing something. Internally, and in the international sense, we have said: both hands cleanse each other. If one hand is injured, it is very difficult to wash the other. Therefore, helping each other is very important. So yesterday we asked for some help, a donation for our Celje Yoga Center. Until this minute, we have received a donation from all of you totaling 3,067 euros, but the donation box is still there. If someone had no time to give, you are still welcome to do so. Here are the 3,067 euros. I didn’t open it; I believe the paper. I would like to hand this over to the president or organizer of the Celje center. Mr. Dayālpuri from Maribor, you are an initiator. Maribor Yoga in Daily Life has also made a very big step by paying their fellowship license fee for two or three years, which is about 1,000 euros. This was announced by Dayālpuri, president of the Maribor Yoga in Daily Life. So here is the parcel. Please, hand it over. I give it to you, and you give it to Arjuna. Yesterday there was a little misunderstanding. When we went to Celje last year, the mayor of Celje said that Celje is the third biggest city in Slovenia. Yesterday I met the mayor of Kranj, and he said that Kranj is the third biggest city in Slovenia. So we created a spiritual bridge to unite both in oneness. Dayālpuri said, "Celje is one of the biggest cities in Slovenia today as a spiritual city." The mayor was happier to hear this. Last year we also collected some donations for one of the centers in Croatia, and some friends gave donations. Thank you. One of the bhajans from Kabīr Dās Jī says: God has given you eyes to have a holy vision, and He gave you hands to donate, to help. It is nice to help our brothers and sisters. We have spoken on many occasions, and people have helped. It is said: what you consume will not be counted, but what you give, that will be counted. And that’s it. We have many organizations. This year, the World Peace Conference will be in Budapest, and I hope you all will come to highlight the name of our beloved Holy Gurujī in the International Peace Movement, for understanding and the protection of the environment. Thank you for that too. Now we are in the mood of helping. Our Swami Yogeś Purī in Jadan Ashram needs very great help—not only financially. We are searching for someone, a carpenter, to make windows and doors. We have the wood and machines, everything. So if there is someone who knows this handwork, or some friends together, it is very urgent. If you have friends who would like to go, you can go for one month, two months, six months, or one year. Thank you. So again, meditation: active meditation and passive meditation, creative meditation, and devotional, concentrated meditation. Sit comfortably, and again we will chant this mantra, only Ānandoham. This is called Nāda Yoga meditation. Feel in your brain, in your head, a beautiful vibration, nāda. Make clear that your head is ready to accept. Concentrate here. That’s it. Okay, so beautiful resonance. Go from the lower chakra, Mūlādhāra, through the whole body, the spinal column, to all the chakras. Feel the resonance in your whole head, and let it reflect this feeling of bliss in your heart. This is also an anti-stress meditation. It is the awakening of the hidden powers, the discovering of your inner talents, the unfoldment of the consciousness into the cosmic consciousness. That’s called supreme bliss. Relax and feel this nāda, the sound. Ānandoham. Through this yoga meditation, you come to inner peace. It removes anxiety, tensions, and worries. Every cell of the body is recharged with this nāda, the sound. Ānandoham, Ānandoham, Ānandam, Brahmanandam. I am bliss, I am bliss, bliss I am. The highest bliss, the Brahman—it doesn’t matter what you call it, one God only, without any forms, and that is the Highest One. Our heart, our soul, feels very comfortable, and our consciousness opens to the Cosmic Consciousness. Like waves of light are ascending, you feel the bliss. When you received the mantra, the Master awoke your eyebrow center chakra, the Ājñā Chakra, and blessed your Sahasrāra Chakra. It enlightened your brain and consciousness so that all negative energy and illness are disappearing. Now we have to concentrate these cells towards that part of the body which is weaker. In the Upaniṣad it is said: "May my old limbs be healthy." My old organs should be healthy. My ears, my senses, my eyesight—all should be healthy. So the nāda with ānandoham is penetrating through and through, like you are sitting in beautiful waves of love and light. Its meaning is bliss, ānanda. In every language, maybe a slightly different word, but the meaning is the same: bliss, happiness. I am bliss, I am bliss. Bliss I am, and therefore nothing can attack me. Once more, ānanda. As if you are on a train or flying in space, your self is so light and resonant. You feel free from worldly pain and sorrow. Once more, ānanda means happiness, bliss. So it doesn’t matter which belief you have; you would like to be happy, please. Brahmanandam means the happiness of the Divine God, whatever you call the God without form. Imagine that on the high hills of the Himalayas, on the snowcaps and glaciers, you are meditating or walking slowly. In the Himalayan hills, the high hills, your happiness is resonating. Ānanda... From your feelings, your heart, your being is united with the endless One. You don’t feel lonely. You don’t feel empty. You don’t feel anything missing. You feel the oneness; that is the happiness, the divine love. Ānanda means bliss, and ham means I. I am bliss. I am bliss, supreme bliss I am. When that reveals in our heart and consciousness, all suffering, longing, and desires are fulfilled. Oh, this nāda is very powerful. It releases all tensions, physical and mental. The nāda is penetrating through and through. The purification process takes place. Every cell of the body is recharged with vitality, energy, and quality. Then we come to the strengthening of our organs and limbs so that all ill cells are removed from the body and the immunity strength improves from the solar plexus, from the Maṇipūra Chakra. So again, the second step: to strengthen, to remove fear, to realize oneness. The Maṇipūra mantra, Rām. Again, close your eyes and feel the energy in the body strengthening. The willpower is developing. And those who are chewing gum, please put it out. Constantly, the resonance of a beautiful clock, going into the whole universe, creates this strength in your body. Listen to your inner sound. Feel free, relaxed, one with thyself. You are not depending on anything—free, strong, without anxiety—and you feel that supreme bliss within, as thyself is that supreme bliss. It is you who is radiating this supreme bliss. We will chant OṂ three times. And mantra, and śānti. OṂ... OṂ... OṂ... Rub your palms and place your hands on your face, warming and relaxing your eyebrows. This mantra, this chanting, will develop strength within thyself to discover your inner strength and abilities. Manifest your abilities, your strength through your abilities, and free yourself from all kinds of burdens. The next steps we will have next time. Now, time for a few questions. Question: Is there going to be another great war in the near future, and if so, how will it affect Slovenia? Well, we hope not. But wars have been happening all the time, from the very beginning of this creation. Že od začetka tej kreacije, the two kinds of forces awoke: divine, or goddess, and negative. So it is a struggle between negative and positive forces, what we call God and the Rākṣasa or the Satans. But now humans are more intelligent, clearer in their heads, understanding that war has brought nothing to us. War cannot bring peace; it will again provoke hate and revenge. So, around the whole world, every politician, every religion, every NGO is trying to keep peace in the world. My prayer to God is to save and bless Slovenia. Question: A very disturbing constant low sound is being heard in developed, electrified countries, causing problems like deprivation of sleep, heart palpitations, pain, etc. It is heard by 2 to 10% of people, mostly indoors, but sometimes also in wild nature. The experts can’t find its cause. What is causing the sound, and how can we protect ourselves against its unpleasant effects? In developed countries that have electricity, 2–10% of people hear a very low sound. People who hear this sound experience sleep problems, heart palpitations, and pain. That’s it. I didn’t understand. What was the question? Two to ten percent of people can hear some very low vibration. The experts, it’s mostly indoors and only in developed countries where there is electricity. They can’t find the cause, but it is disturbing. It causes problems with sleeping, the rhythm of the heart, and pain. The question is: what is causing this sound? All these electronic waves. Therefore, use a bioprotector—under your pillow, under your bed, on your telephone, or here. That’s it. There are some different things; next time I will tell you. Question: Dear Swamiji, please, can you help me now to transform? All my fears, especially the fear of surviving and fears of worries for money, violence, aggression, especially in my subconsciousness—all that is not being in the moment, in the heart. I cannot treat it. Okay, thank you. Yes, it’s very good. This question was good. Thank you. This question was written before our meditation. So, that meditation we did was the answer to your question. Sometimes a master can see before, but only sometimes. Some more questions? Next, dear Swami? No, no, dear son. Oh, it’s a long one. I talked to you three days ago. You say, "Listen, you read it yourself and tell me the core point, okay? Now, or..." Later? No, you read peacefully. I look, enjoying looking at everyone. Everyone is full of ānanda, no? Next webcasting, I think, will be from Slovenia—no, Slovakia, sorry. Turianand is in Ukraine. Webcasting will be? No. So, as you know, tomorrow I’m flying to Ukraine, from crying to crying. Then I will be back on Friday, and Friday or Saturday I’m going to Slovakia, Hungary. No, no... In Hungary, in Debrecen, there will be a seminar next weekend. Then from Slovenia, from Hungary, we are going to Slovakia, and from Slovakia we’re going to Strilky and staying one or two weeks in Strilky. Then we are going to Guru Pūrṇimā in India. He did very well. That was the energy, my God. Question: About opening a nursery school. When and how? I don’t know. If you open, then open a very nice, healthy kindergarten with vegetarian, healthy nourishment. When? Where? You should know. Yes, also the question that you would like to have a child, but you have to find a wife. You have to find a wife to have a child. How should I know if it’s a question of a woman or a man? There are many men who wish very much to have a child because they would like their wives to accept that they can have a child. So, find a good husband or a good wife. If somehow it is not possible because of health conditions, you can adopt. If you can’t adopt, we have so many children. Come and take care of them when we have a seminar. No problem. Always say Ānandoham. When you get up in the morning, "Ānandoham breakfast." Um means, "Let it come." Okay, thank you. Next one. That’s all. One more? No, no, only information. I said, "Well..." He’s also of interest to the international delegations. For the Kumbh Melā, we are organizing a group flight. Individually, it will be very, very difficult. Can you imagine 80 million people? 80. Traveling between Maribor and Ljubljana. Some are walking, some have a horse, some have a truck, some have a bus, some have a tractor, and something is blocking the big truck and big bus. People want to sleep now, so they purposely drive like this. Like this, and within five minutes there is a 20 km jam. To free the 20 km jam, meanwhile they are sleeping, the long truck drivers. Or when railway barrier controls are closed, they wait a few minutes till the train passes, and they lean on the steering wheel and sleep. The train goes, the other one is sleeping, the opposite is sleeping. But behind, people think it is an accident. Therefore, we would like to book your transfer from Delhi to Haridwar and Haridwar to Delhi now—bus, train, or airplane. So please, register your name and group with the group. Who is the organizer for Slovenia to collect this group? Tolāpurī, OK. Tolāpurī and some others also, OK? And Nārada is the head. If you need help, you can ask her, but you have to train yourself. Train, training. And please find the cheapest flight for your group. Your group. It doesn’t matter which airlines, but that airline is what really brings us to India, and not to somewhere else. India, yes, not Indonesia. That’s it. India, yes, not Indonesia. Well, many have to drive a far distance. Wish you a good journey. Don’t forget anything, and thanks to the organizers and technicians. See you here or there. This year, the summer seminars will be in Strylki. It will be very nice—lots of meditation, lots of walks, and watching the Śiva Purāṇa, Kṛṣṇa, and many, many things. Don’t miss it. And many cherries with white snakes inside, white snakes inside. Okay, thank you. Anything more? Second? Second? Second? Second?
