Yoga and Āyurveda are sciences of the body, mind, and soul. Āyurveda takes more care of the physical body. When the physical body is healthy, we have less mental tension, and this influences our mind, our feelings, and our way of thinking. Āyurveda is nutrition. What one should eat, what we are eating, is Āyurveda. But slowly, the quantity of eating is getting more and more. When we were little, we ate little. Then, slowly, our diet became bigger and bigger. Of course, a small child just born doesn’t have that much quantity to eat or drink. When we are grown, we are forty years. Half of forty-five is twenty-two years and six months. Until then, Āyurveda says our body is growing. Don’t think only till twenty years or eighteen years; we are growing. If we have good nutrition, then we don’t need that much, and the body will get the strength inside. Our life will become longer. Now our quantity of eating is out of limitation. Everybody, we look every day when we dress: either we are too thin, or we are over kilos. If we reduce our weight because of our diet, we feel weakness. We shall try to get good food, rich food. Then you don’t need too much. So, medicine, our nutrition, our diet should be like a medicine. Then our life will be healthy. But unfortunately, all people, including the one who is speaking now, have lost the limitation. We are above the border. Āyurvedic food is in addition to what our body needs, but we don’t believe in doctors anymore. We go to the classic allopathic doctors, then to homeopaths, then to the Āyurvedic doctor, then to the acupressure doctor, but all of this cannot help you. Then you go to the yoga doctor, and then to meditation. A lot of what we do, we should stick to one path. This allopathic medicine, we can stop. It means to stop the life. That’s it. Before, there were steamer engines. Now, from the water, we went to the petrol. So always we are changing. Don’t give up immediately. Take allopathic medicine parallel with Āyurveda. Āyurveda will not act immediately, so then practice yoga and Āyurveda in parallel. In Āyurveda is included also the diet. In the diet, it is what is called now, in this modern world, the junk food. In junk food, there is also artificial taste and spices inside. So maybe in your mouth is a taste, but in the stomach it’s not at all. The stomach is suffering. The stomach says, "Why are you unnecessarily giving me work?" I have to digest everything, and as soon as it’s possible, to reject. The whole body is complaining. Who said? The digestion. In this junk food, there is nothing for your body, or you will get over kilos. So let us come to the organic, natural food, even if we eat a little. It is also said that we should eat only at that particular time and drink water also at that particular time. After eating, Āyurveda said, don’t drink any kind of liquid for one and a half hours. You can take a cup of water, that’s all, for medicine or something. Then see, try this for one month or two months. Our health condition will be much, much, much better. Now, you know how many times we hear every day, unfortunately, the people call the Krebs illness, cancer. From where does it come? Maybe old age was also in old times, and we did not know more about that. But it was not like that. This is the result of the junk food and that we don’t take organic food. We should try to get more and more organic things. Through the practicing of yoga, we should take this in our... you utilize in our food and āsanas. So Āyurveda is not like those tablets which every day we shall take. Now they are making tablets, but it has its principles, that is how you should use it. Myself, my person, when I used to get some kind of, play the dalek. So, it was saying that in real Āyurveda, they were doing niṣkāma sevā, how to say, the helping. Not taking money, but what they sometimes use expensive things, the material to prepare the Āyurveda, okay, they will take only that money. But now, Āyurveda has become such a big business, and you don’t know if it’s real or not. Once I got here, someone brought the capsule made out of neem powder. I thought, why should I swallow the capsule? I can take the neem powder. I opened the capsule, and there was maybe 2% neem. The rest was all dust from the Āyurvedic factory, whatever they carried. Unfortunately, I thought it was a mistake. I opened the second box. Then I went to Vienna, and in Vienna there is a place called Nash Market. We bought there also the same thing. We changed the company; it was there a little more, but dry, yellow leaves of the neem. You know the neem doesn’t grow at high altitude. After the 800 meters, it is difficult to grow for the neem. Anyhow, we don’t know. We don’t know what is in the medicine. Is it psychological or not? But at that time, the Vaidyas were spiritual persons. I knew one Vaidya near our Kailash āśram; that person is unfortunately not living anymore. He was great, and he used to go to the forest and fields, looking for which kind of herb was for which medicine. But he did not take away. He knows where it is. So when the people came for some problem, then he said, "Okay, tomorrow I will prepare for you." And he went to the forest to that particular plant, herbal, and he said some mantra. I was with him. I was small, only with Gurujī I was going. So, and he was saying some mantra, and then he said, "Please give me something from your part for that person," and he used to take only one blade of grass, and then he was making medicine with the mantras, like homeopathy. In homeopathy, the essence, very little essence, from one drop of water, like homeopathic medicine, they can make a lot. This is a vibration. So homeopathy is a medicine of quality, not quantity. These poor people used to come and take this medicine, Āyurvedic, and that Vaidya did not ask for money at all. And people got healthy. Someone was bringing some fruit from the field, or crops, and he said, "No, no... I don’t need. When I need, I will tell you." That Āyurvedic, like this Āyurvedic, is a spiritual person. Even if he gives the poison, it will turn into nectar, but that is sādhanā. So, study, definitely they have to study Āyurveda, but then more spiritual, not commercial. Since it became commercial, it lost its quality. Second, also the master. The master will not ask the disciples to give him money. I will give you this technique, and you give me this for money. Nowadays everybody says, "Wow, only $25,000, and I’m taking one kriyā." Okay, $25,000 goes to the master, and the master gives one half technique and says, "After six months, when you will master this, then comes the higher level, which is fifty thousand dollars." And said, "Okay, like this, that is not a guru, that’s not a master, and that’s not a disciple." When finally he gets one technique, it’s not useful at all, and neither he called him, "That’s my guru," and the guru said, "That’s not my disciple. It’s his karma. I get my money, that’s all." So it has become now, in the world, yoga has become commercial, and maybe Āyurveda has become also commercial. So the guru’s duty is to bless. That’s it. Whatever they give, they give the donation, they give the āśram, anything. And so you see, the holy Gurujī will never say, "Give me some money." And I don’t know that if I ask, you give me some money, please. I asked twice. We were in New Delhi or somewhere, and I had no changed money. So I told the group, "Can I have some money, please? Can you give me some money?" And, yes, because I need it. And then I said, I need only 1,500 rupees. And, okay, it came from 1,500, which means 150,000 rupees came. So I said, "I don’t have any bag here." The bag is carrying Umā Purī or Maṅsā Devī or somebody else. So, a master should not ask anything of disciples to have that gift. Then that blessing will not function. Yes, you can give a donation, free will; there is nothing. But the master should not ask, and the disciple should not ask, "How much money can I give you for your sādhanā?" But now, this Strelka, for example, we are here five days. Electricity, water, cleaning, food, etc., etc. That needs the āśram, not me, not Pārvatī, and not Arjun Purī. So that is a different thing. What we are doing to support our shelter, our āśram, that way is okay. But there are some gurus who become trillions, millions, and they don’t let you come close. Finished. Only after three months, on that day, do you have an appointment. Five days, minutes. And that time, you think, "Oh, this Master is so big. How lucky I am! Give me an appointment for five minutes? Come to me, I will give you five hours." Namah Śivāya, Om Namah Śivāya, Om... Har Har Bho Namah Śivay, Om Namah Śivay, Om... Hara Hara Bhav Namah Śivāya, Om Namah Śivāya, Om... Namah Śivāya Namah Śiva, Om Hara Hara Bholē, Namah Śiva, Om Hara Hara Bholē, Śaṅkara Bhagavad Gītā. Similarly, astrology. Astrology is a science. Astrology is a mathematics, but this mathematics does not function. This science does not function. It is only from that kind of brain, the master, who has spiritual development. And that astrologer should live on sāttvic food. So even they don’t use garlic and onion. Why? Garlic and onion are good medicine. But it is because of a certain smell from the mouth. And once, some person had a problem, a gastric problem. So he said, "For yoga, it is not good to eat onions and garlic." It’s rajas guṇa, and those who don’t eat garlic and onions, if you tell something to that person, it explodes. And who eats garlic and onions? If you tell something, then, like Gajanan, he will say, "Okay, it’s your choice." That’s it. So it’s our nature. How is our nature? There is kāma, krodha, mada, lobha, moha, and ahaṅkāra. These are the enemies of humans. Enemy of the yogīs. So it is very important: kāma, krodha, mada, lobha, moha, ahaṅkāra. So it is said that Holī Gurujī said that one of the karma yogī bhaktas in Jaḍan was always angry. And he’s so angry, or she, I don’t know who it was, for five days cannot get up from the bed. Out of anger, so one day Gurujī said, "Anger is the thief who will take away everything from you at the door." So, when you want to bring something in your door, your wealth or something, the thief will steal from you from there. But it means that when you become angry, this anger will take away all good qualities from you. Karma, desires, and desires are many. It can be physical, mental, social, emotional, money, peace, friends, etc. Many. So this is desire, and if one becomes a friend with you, others have jealousy, and jealousy is a fire. And even if you have your thousands of notes, your crown, and if it falls into the fire, the fire will not say, "Oh, take care, take your money, take it out." No. Fire is fire. It will burn everything. So anger is anger. That will burn you inside. And desire. Always and always, that desire is vāsanā. Vāsana means that hope, that desire. And the cause of all troubles is your vāsanā. Kāma, so kāma, krodha, lobha, the greed, and moha, attachment. But moha means ignorance. It is the ignorance that we don’t know what is good and what is bad. When the moha is there, we are attached to this, and when another one comes close, then we are so jealous. There was a dog who was biting an old bone in the forest. And in that dry bone, there was nothing. It was his own blood coming through the teeth, but he was biting. And another dog came, so how he acted? He showed all the teeth towards the other dog. Oh God, the other dog went away. This is a vāsanā and jealousy. So vāsanā is that attachment pulling you. And jealous, it sows you the ear, your teeth. So it is said, those who have inside vāsanā, desires, they are like an elephant. For an elephant, two beautiful teeth are enough for any smile. And we say, oh, he’s a nice elephant. Nice, nice teeth. But for biting, chewing is inside. So when some person is talking sweet outside but is jealous inside, that’s like the teeth of the elephant. Come through the mother, proudness. How long will you have pride? Come through the mother, lova, moha, attachment. This is the quality which makes us ill. It will steal all our spirituality, and you will feel that, "Oh yes, this is good." Greed has no end. Greed has no end, more and more and more. Therefore, Holy Gurujī said that if you are angry, do it, but you should know everything will be stolen at your door, all your spiritual sādhanā. Listen to Guru Vākya. Poslouchejte tato Guruvāta.

So astrology is a mathematics; it is also a kind of science, but to learn astrology it is not only learning as a mathematical science. The best astrologists have a different sādhanā. It’s called Bāchchansiddhi. A chan siddhi means, in his or her words, is a siddhi. And nowadays, what you are learning, Āyurveda, is good. Kindergarten. That’s all. All they are putting in the computer, looking from a computer. And you are looking in the computer. The computer can never be exactly, you see. Destiny is different. There is one mother and father, and from one mother she gave birth to three children. One became king, one became beggar, and one became a smuggler. That’s a destiny. And one who is born on the same time, in the same constellation, both are different. One became something different, one became something different. One has a happy marriage, and the other can’t find even a woman. What does astrology say? So, it is not like that. Therefore, do not run behind astrology. Don’t think that I will become an astrologer. No. Yes, you can learn, but you should not profess it. It will not be correct. Okay, we can say it now, today is Monday and tomorrow is Saturday. That’s it. Well, the astrology is coming from the great saint Ṛṣi from Satyuga. It’s called Garga-ācārya. And it is a Gṛgācārya who was also performing the wedding of Śiva and Pārvatī. And he prophesied to the father and mother of the Pārvatī, also the Śakti, and also the Kulguru of Kṛṣṇa’s parents, and he, Gargācārya, gave the name to Kṛṣṇa. Also organized the wedding of the father and the mother of the Kriya Kṛṣṇa. Gagajarya had that blessing, spiritual lineage, and so we are all children of some ṛṣis. You and I and all others have some roots, and what they were doing, what was in their blood, that is reality. They’re different. Dogs are dogs. All dogs are beautiful. All dogs are good. But the dogs which are just running in the streets, India, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, etc. They are good dogs, but what they call the German Shepherd can also be wild somewhere. But what he can learn, what he can do, the brain capacity that dog has, other dogs cannot have. Similarly, different ṛṣis, and so we are all, some of ṛṣis, the generation we are. And so the gene of that Ṛṣi is going through generations, ages and ages. So Gargācārya was great, it is, and those who are coming from this family, they have automatically the blessing of astrology. My father was a great, great astrologer. Of course, he didn’t have university, neither college, nor high school. Hardly was there some school under the tree, learning from itself. But his astrological power, my father would have told in the village, "Today, nobody should eat from morning sunrise till midday." Nobody will eat because whatever he said, comes true. Yes, and his truth was so sure. My elder brother, who had passed away, and when we made a ceremony for Omashram, foundation stone foundation, I brought some good, learned paṇḍits and astrologers, and I didn’t ask my brother, and he didn’t say anything, so I asked him between the ceremonies, because we did Mahā Rudra Yajña, you remember all? So, I asked the brother, what do you think about this? He said, "It’s good. Whatever you are doing is good, yajña and this. But it will take time to build this Om Āśram. Many times it will stop. It will be dismantled. Again, it will begin to build, so it will stop and build and take time." Now I remember what my brother said. So that is the jyotiṣ. Jyoti means the light. Tithi means the thirty days of the month. And Jyotiṣ is the third eye of Śiva. But that need is sādhanā. So don’t run behind one astrologer to another astrologer. Yes, they have learned something. That’s the thing. But it will not solve your questions, your problems. There are some different kinds of constellations. The twelve constellations of the horoscope. So it is in our language, it’s a different name; in your language, it’s a different name. So somebody asked, "Paṇḍitjī, what is today? What can I do? Can I begin with this work or not?" So, half-knowledge astrologer, "Make work, meet on correct, sin, kanya, tool, verse, seek, nothing, seek, okay. Everything is okay, you can do it. Make work, meet on correct, isme koī ne je farak." Like this, so the blind lead the blind. If the blind lead you, but you are not blind, then you should fight away. So you become blind with the blind. There’s one story of the blind. You want to know? Now it’s quarter to nine. I didn’t say the blind quarter to nine, but I can tell you a quick story. So there was one couple, about 189 years old; they didn’t have any children, so they were poor. At that time, there was not so much money. Only the things that you have, you have the cattle, or milk, or crops, etc. So they were old. They both used to go to the field in the forest and collect some dry wood for the fuel, for the cooking. One day, the wife asks the husband, "Dear, we are 191 years old, still we have a little strength and everything, we are healthy, and we have no one, no children, no grandchildren. When we become old, who will take care? 190 years old. 191 years old lady put a question to her husband: 'When we will be old, how will it be?' That is the strength of Āyurveda and yoga: no junk food. So he said, 'What do you mean?' I’m asking you, František, Alenka, prosím, said, can you tell me when we will be blind? Old, and our eyesight is not good. How will we walk? He said, 'Yes, Alenka,' You are right. we practice something? That is a good idea. So, he said to his wife, 'We close our eyes, and both of us take a stick in the hand to walk.'" So they had a bundle of the dry wood on the head, both of them. He is walking in the front, she is walking on the back side, and she’s holding the shoulder of Františka. And they are walking with closed eyes. And he said, "You promise? You will not open eyes?" She said, "Of course, I always do what you said. When you said to me this evening, 'Close your eyes and sleep.' I don’t open till morning. You see? But she said, 'But you must not open your eyes. It doesn’t matter what happens.' So we become blind. We are rehearsing how we will manage." So they had a grass and was going, walking slowly. Pārvatī and Śiva are coming. And Pārvatī said, "My Lord, in your world," not the kingdom, the world. "There are so many people who have everything, and this couple, 190 years old, thanks to you that they are still healthy and young. How will... but they are blind. Why don’t you give them something? So that these poor, old people need not bring the wood home." God said, "In their kismat, it’s not written, Śiva." Don’t make me full. Why? You can change the kismat. You can change the kismat. He said, "Changing of the kismat is the work of the master, the guru." Well, therefore it is said, rāt ko din kardete, the night makes the day and the day makes the night. Who is that? The yogī, the master, Yogī Janakī, Yoga Nidrā, Birla Sant Janjanī. So Śiva said, "What do you want from me? Finally, ask." Sometimes ladies go like that. It means sometimes they are the saw of the nerves. That man gets quickly old. So then Śiva said, "Let’s go half a kilometer far," and Śiva put a lot of gold there, a heap of golden coins or gold. And these blind people are coming. And Śiva and Pārvatī are standing beside a bush somewhere, watching. And Pārvatī said, "Thank you, God. You changed their kismet, and today was a good constellation of the jyotiṣ." Śiva smiles. They approach that heap of gold, and the blind man hits it with his leg. He hurts his leg, and Francis said, "Oh God, who put this stone on the way?" The same thing happened to Alenka. Alenka said, "That stupid man, go to the hill! You don’t know how the blind people will walk here. Why did you put the stones on the way?" "I curse you," the man said. Frantisek said, "Don’t open your eyes." We have Saṅkalpa. Śiva said to Pārvatī, "I got now the curse that was your hatha, Rājahat, Bālahat, Triyahat, or Yogahat." She said, "Don’t worry, we come home and we will wash our feet with the warm water, and next time we will come this way and clean the road. We should do something good. Yes, Alenka. When we will be blind, it will not be an easy life." Śiva said, "Look, in their kismet, there are always the stones." So astrology cannot change your kismet. You may say many things. The nature God made is nature. Sometimes also what we call the vastu śāstras. Many people break the windows and keep the new windows, and this and that. And what is changing? Nothing. Therefore, kismat, our kismat, one mother has three children, and all three have a different destiny. Therefore, believe in Parampitā Paramatmā, that higher father, the holy father. And believe the Guruvākya. Guru Kṛpā, he gave a lamb. Therefore, it is said, Rāma, Kṛṣṇa—say, who is greater than Śiva and Rāma? Kṛṣṇa and Rāma. They are the king of the three worlds. But they are surrendered to the Guru Bhakti. Jaya Guru Deva.
