Take three deep breaths. Inhale deeply into the stomach, then into the chest. Exhale first from the chest, then from the stomach. Tāḍāsana. Slowly, while inhaling deeply, stretch your hands up, lift your heels, rise onto your toes, and lift about one and a half feet above the ground, then slowly come down. Again, stretch your body up, your hands up, your heels up, your toes up. I know that you can’t levitate. You know why? Because the sky is not high enough. Otherwise, we would levitate. We have to tell the Paṇḍitjī to say mantras so that the sky moves with love. And relax. We can lift up like Kṛṣṇa lifted the Govardhana mountain. So we gave this ashram the name one day: The Levitating of the Govardhan. There are nearly 800 of us or more, so I have to check everyone’s feet. Therefore, remain holding the Govardhan. All the gopīs and gopas—the gopīs are the disciples and the gopas are the disciples—are holding the mountain up and calling to Kṛṣṇa. "We can’t anymore!" So Kṛṣṇa can, with only one small finger, lift the mountain. So let me see, no troubling... and down. Thank you, Kṛṣṇa. It’s so high that you can’t see anymore, Govardhana. Legs apart, as far as you can. Hands up. Interlock the fingers, palms facing upward. Bend to your left side, and slowly come to the middle. Then to your right side... hey, I didn’t say come up. I’m checking you. Remain in the middle, heads down. Every time when I come, you stand up. Then it means you want to do some exercise. That’s why even I had no chance to sit. So again, once more. Place the fingers along... head resting on the head. Balance. Oh, what are you doing here? They are waiting for you in the yard. Now you must go with the cows. You can’t rest here. Now, hands up. Look straight. Elbows straight. At least elbows can be straight. At least you can have your elbows stretched, like this. You can even turn them to the other side. And now, to your left side. Yes, go more, go more. What is that? I don’t know how far I was going. That’s it. In the middle. Hands on the head. I have one technique, a trick. The teacher must not give such a trick to the disciples. But I give it to you, so you can pass your examination, so that you can complete your exercises as far as your legs are apart. Wait, wait, listen. Stand on your blanket, the yoga mat, in length. These people are not... No, it’s not like that. If you go there, only one can be here, only one. Who is this boy somewhere else? Come here. It cannot be. Who is here with the empty place? Yeah, because of the camera. Okay. So, as far as the legs are there, you can go more straight. But only that far. Comfortably, you can do. Otherwise, the hips are locked here, and you can’t bring the legs together again. Okay, so your right side. Your right side. Sunshine Coast is not straight. There are so many waves. Slowly up. Legs together. Hands on the head. I did not say, "Move hands down." Now, hands down. Concentrate. Balance. Legs together. And slowly lift your right foot and right leg, and hold your knee, and place the knees towards your stomach. Concentrate on any object, like the tree leaves lying there. Just look at the tree leaves. Pull your knee toward the body. And slowly down. I got a very good model here. She will be our model also, okay? I wish I could be at her age. So, now which leg do I sit on? You are standing left. We are standing left. So, right foot, right leg up. Left leg, sorry. Left leg. Hold your knee. And concentrate on one place. And when you feel to come down, you can, okay? Slow down. I always give very easy āsanas, okay? This is the specialty of your Master, that it is simple. You did very good with the left leg, with the right leg. Now, both legs up. Sit down. Do you know what is Garuḍa Āsana? Do you see all? Everyone? Who can’t see? Kto nevidí? Can I bring you the glasses? Good. Dobře. Poláko. Doesn’t matter, opposite of the subject. Thank you. Děkujeme. Should I do it to you? Should I also demonstrate it to you? Yes. I know those who are the experts. I know the experts. Those who know how to do something. But they are above 55 or 60. They should watch how the others are doing. Because you are the experts. So you have to observe and give the statement of how they are doing. I also belong to that committee. Whoever would like to observe should sit straight and look like this. Others who have confidence to do so, please stand up. Who can do it? Why not? Everyone can do it. I’m very happy. Surprise! Everyone will get a diploma. Now you perform yourself. First, with your legs. And now, with the hands. Concentrate on some point. Palms together like in prayer, and thumbs touching the nose or chin, and slowly bend down. Support your elbow on that knee which is folded. That will give you balance. Yes, when the elbow is touching, then you are safe. I will look at everyone a little bit. Someone’s Garuḍa’s peak is broken. Come up slowly. Maybe you had the wrong leg. So now with the other one. Beautiful. Slowly. So please do it yourself two or three times. With your own balance, your own concentration. Oh, on my videos it looks like a tanzuj, tanzuj. It’s not my mistake. I think the screen of the camera is moving. Okay, turn to my side. The next, sit down. Did you see on the website, the Facebook site, one posture on the lake? Yes. What was the color of that demonstrator? Black swan. Now that has become white. Yes, and someone was feeding from the top. Okay, who will demonstrate first here? Two persons are coming, doing the Haṃsāsana. Please come and demonstrate. Stand straight. Left arm in front of you. Concentrate on the unmovable space in front of you. Concentrate on the left foot sole that is firmly on the ground. Find your balance. Slowly put your right foot up, hold the toes, and raise the right leg as high as possible, and at the same time, put the upper part of your body to the front. The left arm is parallel with the floor, and the right leg is as high as possible. Remain there until I chant one mantra. Concentrate on one spot, and slowly raise your hand up, fold your knee, hand down, and now your foot down. Perfect knee. Now, other side. You cannot watch the instructions. Same as before, rise slowly your right arm. Grab arm, grab arm. Concentrate on the firm spot in front of you. Find your balance on the right foot. Slowly raise your left leg and hold left toes. Bend forward and raise your left leg. Stay in the position with normal breath. When you breathe calmly and deeply, you will hold the balance better. Stay in the position and breathe normally. When you breathe deeply, your balance will be better. And you can imagine Viśva Gurujī singing Oṃ Tryambakam. On one unmovable spot, you can concentrate even on the corner of your yoga mat. I will chant mantras. No movements. Asato mā sadā gamayā, tamaso mā jyotir gamayā, mṛtyor mā amṛtam gamayā. Oṁ Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ. Raise your upper body up, hand up, and release your foot, your leg. And the hand down, parallel to the body. Touch your feet on the ground. Now, the second step: this time, the haṁsā will stretch the hands like this and do the sarvahitāsana. Lean and take off. Lean forward, more, as far as you can, yes. And now move your wings. Oh, my God, you can’t imagine how many swans are flying in the Brahmaloka, completeness. Go ahead, oh, Paṇḍitjī, Bala Pūrṇamada, Pūrṇamedam, everybody. Pūrṇamudacyate, Pūrṇasya, Pūrṇamādāya, Pūrṇamevāvaśiṣyate. Oṁ Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ. Now we are going to swim over the lake near Mount Kailāś. Which lake is that? Manasarovar. Man is your mind. The endless lake or the ocean of your mind, your thoughts. All your wishes are there. Now you will come out of the lake with the help of your wings. You go high up and make a parikrama around Mount Kailāś. Deep dive into the Mansarovar. Hands on the knees, and now stretch your wings and fly, looking up. Go ahead. Namaḥ Śivāya. Don’t let your wings get tired. Beautiful. Go ahead. Namaḥ Śivāya. Om Namah Śivāya. Om Namah Śivāya. Om Śivāya. Om Namah Śivāya. Om Namah... Śivāya. Om Shanti, hands on the leg. Sit in an āsana, a yoga āsana, not on a yoga mat. When you say yoga mat, we are not mad. Relax in vajrāsana. Place your hands on your thighs. Close your eyes. Relax your elbows. Relax your shoulders. Relax your stomach muscles. Your back is straight and upright. Feel relaxed, recharge the prāṇa, normal breath. The next posture will come, and many of you know which one will come. You can read the mind of the Master, advanced Kathuparna. Second, so these two sisters will demonstrate, and you will see. Your look is only on her, and her look is on you. You were doing it yesterday, no? And you’ve forgotten? You sleep, okay? Don’t make noise. Can we move this table here? Khatu Pranam, knees straight, knees should be down, toes touching the ground, yes, that’s it. It. Next. Next... Next, and next. Advanced Khatu Praṇām. Now, everybody sit in Vajrāsana. We have 72,000 nerves in our body. Out of them, there are four that are very important. One is called Vajranāḍī, and this is what is maintaining our immunity in the body. It spreads the energy in the whole body. And it gives more support to the intense time of the digestive system. The second is the Suṣumnā, then Iḍā and Piṅgalā. These are four very important nāḍīs, and they are influenced very much through Kaṭhupraṇāma. Take your time. Relax. Relax your shoulders, elbows. Close your eyes. Relax the stomach muscles. Deep inhale and exhale. Feel your whole body. This Kathuparnam releases stress and nervousness, and balances our body, mind, and soul. Last, number one: palms are folded, elbows straight, and slightly look up—look to the sky or to the branches of the trees. Open your palms, number three, bend forward, relax, touch your palms to the ground, your elbows, and your forehead. Normal breath. Feel the circulation towards the head. Face muscles, number three. While inhaling, try to relax your stomach muscles, support. Your chin to the ground so that you don’t feel tired, chest is touching the ground, chest, hands on the floor, knees touching the ground, and your toes touching the ground. In this posture, your whole body is relaxed. It flows the energy, the prāṇa, and it removes the tiredness from the whole day’s work. And slowly, while inhaling, raise your head and chest up, your neck straight. Do not stretch your elbows completely. Otherwise, it can happen that one gets a slipped disc. Now, to strengthen the back muscles as well as the stomach muscles. Bring your hands over your back, interlock the fingers, and stretch your body, but keep your toes touching the ground. Relax mentally, stretch your body, and you can count how many stars you see now. Again, hands beside the chest. The next posture. How is the demonstrator doing? Wrong? You’re sleeping, girls. You were doing right, but a little bit too long. Others were in a hurry. They are experts, you know, they want to run a marathon. Left knee, bend left foot, middle. And right knee is touching the ground. Toes standing. Press your buttocks down, and keep your hips down. Stretch your chest. Look to the beautiful leaves of the trees and branches. Normal breath. Next, hands on the back. Hold your elbows. Next, again, hands near the body. And going up, balance. Feel the stretching of the side muscles, also the arm muscles. Your right leg, right thigh stretching, your toes, your foot’s all from right. Next, you... Are you ready to run? But, but, still you are not in position. Right, left, right, left. Foot comes near the left. If you can, touch your forehead to the knees. Or touch your fingers to the ground. Or palm to the ground, or you can hold your ankle joints. It is your choice. Stretch your hands up in the sky. But first, relax on the thighs. Look in the front. Your back should be like a horse’s back. Or you can say Allah is Allah. Next. Next. Yes, now touch your toes. Next. Where is the Paṇḍitjī? Next. My good thoughts, oh my Jyoti. Om. Mrityorma Amritam Gamaya. Mrityorma Sarvesam. Next. Dalshī. Sarveśām. Svastirbhavatu. Sarveśām. No, no, no. Svastir bhavatu. Always after me. Svastirbhavatu. Svastirbhavatu. Svastirbhavatu.... Svastir bhavatu. Svastir bhavatu.... Swastirbhavatu. Swastirbhavatu... always after me, but don’t repeat to say, "Always after me." Śokino bhāvan sarveśa maṅgalam bhavatu, sarveśa pūraṇam bhavatu. Naha Karata, Prabhudeep Karata. Next, Mahāprabhujī deep karatahī kevalaṁ śānti oṁ śānti śānti. Beautiful. Lie down on your back, head to my side, and relax. Relax the whole body, hands beside. Normal breath. And relax the whole body. Now slowly move your toes and fingers. Roll your body left and right. And sit up. Sit in a comfortable posture. Hands on the knees. Index fingers and thumbs together. Close your eyes. Withdraw thyself. Withdraw thyself from the external world. Be aware of your being here in this ashram, Mahāprabhu Deep Foundation, a beautiful park. Beautiful big trees, very clean air. We will now practice prāṇāyāma. Place two fingers from your right hand, the index and middle fingers, on the eyebrow center. With the thumb, gently close your right nostril and slowly, deeply inhale and exhale only through the left nostril. Feel very clean, pure air in this park. Very far from any pesticides. Free from pollution. I know that I am inhaling, and I know that I am exhaling. During the inhalation, the stomach is expanding, and during the exhalation, the stomach is contracting. When we inhale, first the stomach expands, then the lungs. Exhale first from the lungs or chest, and then the stomach. Now place your hand on the right knee again. Chin mudra, the index finger and thumb are touching together. Both the thumb and index finger have direct contact with the brain. This is a mudra which releases stress and anxiety. Relax and feel your breath. I know that I am inhaling, and I know that I am exhaling. Be relaxed. Be one with thyself. You are one with thyself. Stay one with yourself. Feel the flow of the breath, and now place your right hand, these two fingers again, in the center of the eyebrows. And with the ring finger, close your left nostril. And inhale and exhale with the right nostril. The thumb is parallel to the index finger. I know that I’m inhaling. I know that I’m exhaling. In the same way as you were breathing with the left nostril. And now place your right hand on the knee, relax, normal breath, just relax, chant after. Sing with me. Slowly move your fingers. Close your fists, open your palms, and fold your palms. Rub your palms, and place your hands on your face. Move your hands, bend forward, and touch your hands on the ground. And forehead, feel the circulation of the blood towards the head, towards your face, feel the stretching of your back muscles, and now slowly, with the help of the hands, come up, raise your head up. And now, slowly, with your hand, rise up. Aum. Aum.
