Shri Rām, Shri Rām. We had the subject of prāṇāyāma—the prāṇas. You should look in our yoga book, as well as in Hidden Powers in Humans. Ten prāṇas are described: Prāṇa and Upaprāṇa. When you read this, you will understand what the prāṇas mean for our body. What do the prāṇas mean for our eyes? We don't know the value of our eyes. Only the blind know. If we lose our eyesight, the world is gone for us. Also, the prāṇa is very important for our ears; if you can't hear anymore, company is gone. All your dear friends who sit beside you and speak nicely—it is gone. So, there is a prāṇa for the Jñānendriyas and prāṇas for the rest of the body. Nature or God has a separate, special prāṇa for special organs of the body. For example, there is a special prāṇa for the heart, and that belongs to the Upaprāṇas. If that prāṇa is healthy, meaning there is no obstacle, then our heart is healthy. For the eyes, the special prāṇa is that which sits in the eyelids and the visions. You know how quick our eyelids are? Very quickly, they protect the eyes; the eyelids go down. But if that prāṇa becomes weaker, then we can't close the eyes, and sometimes we need more energy to open the eyelids. We don't know this now because everything is functioning very nicely. Also, there are prāṇas functioning in the liver. We generally know we call the liver a factory, producing an immense amount of different hormones. All this involves two major prāṇas: Prāṇa and Apāna. Prāṇa is that which comes into the body, putting all good qualities into it. That is nourishment for the whole body. Apāna is the pushing out of all the used energy. For example, if our apāna śakti, the apāna energy, is weaker, you cannot pass urine. Then we search for a hospital. Otherwise, we don't know how to do it. Or we cannot pass the stool. So many people have constipation and use strong force to pass the stool; they must use great force to be able to go for a big need because of a lack of the prāṇa, apāna. But still, you have a strong prāṇa and apāna to reject, to reduce. Mostly, there are a few principles why you have constipation. You eat good food, you drink enough, many things, but there is constipation because of the weakness of the apāna. The energy in the stomach, where prāṇa and apāna work together, unites at the center of the navel. There are many things. It is said when you have diabetes, you have constipation, but it must not be. Second, the greedy person—greedy persons who don't give further, that's what they call a person who doesn't give, "conjuice." We have a word, "conjuice." I think "Mice" only keeps everything. Some grandmothers keep all kinds of papers in the drawer for many, many years: Christmas greetings, birth greetings, all cards are there. That's okay. But you don't give your money further; you keep it always. When I get, for example, good cherries, I will give everyone one; the rest I keep. That's it. Such a thought in the body will make up some prāṇa, and it creates constipation. So there are many differences. The angry person either has constipation or diarrhea. So there are always different causes, and all these different causes are the energy, the prāṇa. The best, of course, is a vegetarian diet. You have to have more vegetables and more salad. That will help you. Eat 50% of your meal as salad. Then you will see that your constipation will be normal. So, prāṇāyāma. Read in the yogic books. Our book is very nicely written; then understand the prāṇa. Theoretically, the names are not enough. Understand these prāṇas and what I can do for them. All different kinds of illnesses that we have mean there are some obstacles or blockages or not a proper flow of the prāṇas. So for the eyes, which prāṇa? Now you should look in Āyurveda or in yoga for what is good for eyesight and what is not. Maybe something is good for your liver but not good for your eyes. Now, like in allopathic medicine, we get medicine. It helps one thing and harms five others. When you lose your shirt, you hold your shirt; you lose your trousers. You get the trousers, and they fall down over your head. And when you hold the head, your head bag is lost. So this is the situation of the person who is also speaking now. How many medicines are we taking? It is a story. One man imported a cow from Europe which gives 10-20 liters of milk, and if you feed it well, sometimes 40 liters. Poor cow. They can't walk. They cannot sit, and if they sit, they can't get up. They are tortured, but people try to do this to develop their wealth. It is said the Mahārāja of Udaipur brought this cow and gave it a very nice place: every day, cleaning, washing, air conditioning because it was from a cold climate, good feeder, everything. He had one person who took care of the cow and milked it. Who was milking? He drank two glasses of milk—two big glasses, nearly half a liter. Someone complained to the king that the caretaker who is milking is drinking two glasses. He said, "OK, put someone to observe who is taking care." So one person sat there when this man was milking. This man said to the milker, "How is the taste of the European cow? Can I also drink?" He said, "Of course." So, one big glass—oh, nice. So every day he's also getting one glass of milk. Someone again complained, said then, "Put another one for observing them." So the third person said, "Well, you both are drinking. Please, you can give me also." He said, "No problem. Go and give the feeder to the cow, and there is one glass of milk; you should drink it." Again, a complaint came. So they put it that the two together go and observe. The two were strict, very loyal persons, very close to the king. For a few days they were not drinking, and then he said to both of them, "It's very healthy milk. I have to go to Europe to drink such milk. Do you have some disease?" He said, "Yes, I have back pain." "Oh, drink this milk." Others said, "I always have a headache." "This milk is a nectar for that." So, two and two four, and one five persons. Everyone was drinking one glass, and the one milking the cow was drinking two. Again, a complaint came to the king. The king said, "Send all away." It was only two glasses of milk that were gone. Now there are four or five glasses going, more. So, better to have only one and remove all. This is allopathic medicine. This is what we take: one tablet. It requires different ones because they have side effects. We take that medicine; that has a side effect on the kidney. We take medicine for kidney protection that affects the heart, so we take one for the heart. And that's how, systematically, we damage our organs, our nervous systems, and also our concentration. So the best is to practice prāṇāyāma, āsanas, and take something natural, medicine, herbs. But if you stop—if you are taking many medicines and you stop them—that's the best thing. You die immediately on the third day. So on the third day, you can announce the funeral. Systematically, when we do the prāṇāyāmas and āsanas, then meditation must be, because many things are affected by the reaction of the brain centers: stress, healing, restless stress, lack of concentration, many things which are going from the brain. Meditation is the father of the brain, or the best husband. If he doesn't control, then the best meditation is that woman. She controls her husband, children, house, pets, and herself. She is the boss. You boys know many that. How lucky you are that your wife holds you between the scissors, psychologically, not in reality. The real is it, but psychologically, that's painful. So it's better to follow your wife. And then it's better to follow your husband. You know the difference between a wife's and a husband's reaction? A goldsmith who is working with gold, when he's making some chain or ring, he has a hammer, slowly. A hundred times hitting the hammer on the gold, slowly, slowly. That is a woman. Artistic. Very nice. Even you don't hear. That is slow torturing. And the husband is a blacksmith. The blacksmith is the one who is working with iron. So, a hundred beats of the goldsmith and one beat of the iron man. That is the husband. When he brings his hammer out, then hell is gone. Therefore, both husband and wife should not have a hammer in their hands, but they should have hand in hand anyhow. But at the same time, allopathic medicine is very important, and it's researched, very highly developed. In emergency, it saves our life: accidents, operations, many things. But when we are depending continuously on these kinds of chemicals, it's killing us slowly, slowly, slowly. And even at the end, you lose your memories and everything. But who is practicing prāṇāyāma, eating organic and vegetarian, practicing this yoga, prāṇāyāma, etc., and does everyday duty with a relaxed body and mind—that is the prāṇāyāma. When your prāṇa is polluted, then you are angry. Through that, we call Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas Guṇas develop. In Āyurveda there are also Vikāras and what they call the three Doṣas: Vāta, Pitta, and Kapha. So it's going parallel, and it tells the quality of the person. Immediately Āyurveda experts will tell, "You are a Pitta, you have Kapha." Then they tell what you should eat and what you should not eat. This is coming from yoga, that is Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. So, these are the same, more or less, what we call Ṣaṭ Kṛiyā, that's the Haṭha Yoga's kriyā—six kriyās—and Pañcakarma, what they call in Āyurveda. One is missing. Yoga has six, and Āyurveda has five. The sixth one is what we call the tratāk. So, again, the prāṇa. Study first all your ten prāṇas. This is prāṇa and upa prāṇa, like the ten indriyas: Jñānendriyas and Karmendriyas. For Karmendriyas, we need other prāṇa. For Jñānendriya, we need other prāṇas. You will understand this when you practice prāṇāyāma systematically for one or two years. In our śrīlī and our vāpē, we will come back to these techniques of prāṇāyāmas. You have to learn that. Then there is a subtle energy. The subtle energy is around our body, which always gives us a kind of signal: when you should eat, drink, sleep, wake up, go to bath, etc. That is also energy in the body. So just you awake the fire in the body, and then you take a cold bath. It's completely opposite. Elements are very strong. Every element has immense strength, but water is even stronger. Water has the power to kill fire, that's it. So it depends. There are many, many principles in yoga. That is called the science of yoga. Then you will realize, yes, for what I am practicing yoga. Understand in which kind of food what kind of prāṇa is. According to yoga and Āyurveda, there is also a time when you should drink water. After eating, okay, you clean your mouth. Take a sip of water, that's all. But for two and a half hours, don't drink anything after eating. And we, after eating, in two and a half hours, we already drank one half liter of water, ice cream, then coffee, and then after the cold drink, cola, and mineral water, the soda water. In two and a half hours, you drank everything, and that harms our digestion. So read about when to eat and when to drink and what to drink. That's very important. Then automatically our body will get what we call kāya kalpa. But we have to understand our body and sometimes ask your body also. Again, I'm coming to the husband and wife. A man does something and decides something, and he didn't tell the wife because he invited ten friends and forgot to tell her. Of course, she's not angry, but she would say, "My dear husband, at least you could have informed me, so I would have prepared well." Similarly, ask your body sometimes. Ask your body, "Do you like this or not?" Don't ask your gums and tongue. This game is only till the vocal cords. After bitter, hot, cold, salty, or sour, there is no taste. You will know the reaction afterward. That's it. Prāṇa. So that we call Prāṇāt. Nāt means God. My prāṇa is my God. That's it. So there are a lot of things written about prāṇāyāma. You can read nowadays on computers. But then you must ask me. Some are writing something: "Kundalinī goes up, and consciousness goes down. Awareness exploded." The vṛttis are confused, so such a commentary—read with your vivekā, and then ask me, or whose expertise, so you will, or we will, enjoy life. We will be happy, and we will eat so healthy food. Your eyes will become again good, clean. So let's try again, okay? So we are the beginners now. You practice yoga in daily life for 25 years. And I declare you today as a beginner. "Swamiji, this is not fair." It is, because you did not listen. Or you listened, but you did not fulfill. So you have tons of knowledge, but intellectual, not practical. So now we begin practical. Okay? With this wish, you all the best. And next webcast, we will see when it will be Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Śrī Śrī Dev Puruṣa Mahādeva Satguru Svāmī Mādhvānandī Bhagavān Satīś Nāthandar. Jai.
