Shiva and the Chakras

The master brings the nectar of immortality, liberating one from the cycle of life and death. Through this connection, one finds the divine within and achieves liberation while living. The Satguru bestows this knowledge, revealing the universe within the self and granting unending bliss. This wisdom is the true medicine. Memory is preserved through story and song, not mere data. Ayurveda is the knowledge of life, stemming from the primordial nectar. All creation—roots, herbs, and trees—holds divine, healing power. This system classifies plants as Jāḍī (roots), Bhūtī (herbs), and Vanaspatī (leaves), each to be honored. Human disconnection from nature causes disease. The body's chakras connect to these elements: the feet to earth, ankles to knees to vegetation, and knees to hips to animal qualities. Practice grounding on the earth and self-awareness. The root chakra is the foundation, and the highest chakra borders the divine. The human journey is to cultivate these connections and realize one's true nature.

"Gurujī brought my, somehow the medicine or the nectar of immortality."

"Through that which he gave to me, that knowledge, I understood that I am immortal."

Part 1: The Gift of Immortality: A Bhajan and Its Meaning I was going to sing one bhajan, but I don't think I can translate it all, so it's a change. Can I try and translate it, bhaja, and you can do the rest? Okay, I'll do this. So I will try and translate this bhajan, but it just came into my head because of what Gurujī was talking about last night, always saying about the Codaloka and the Ekiśo Brahmāṇḍa. Ekīśo Brahmāṇḍa. So Gurujī brought, page number 110, "Gurujī merā amarajarī layāyā." So Gurujī brought my, somehow the medicine or the nectar of immortality. According to the Dharma, according to the eternal law, he took the avatāra, or took the form upon the earth, to give life to those who are living in that cycle of being in life and death, to somehow bring us back to life. Blessed is the moment, and blessed is our fate, that we, as śiṣyas, know that we can wash ourselves at the Guru’s feet. From far away, we can somehow bring ourselves and purify ourselves at the Guru’s feet, Satguru Jārī Pulāī Mujīko. The Satguru gave me to drink, or caused me to drink, this type of medicine. And this is one I struggle with, Bābājī. Roma roma garanaya. Is it like to make your hairs stand on end, or to bring just the greatest of joy? How do you? Rāma Rāma Gāraṇaya. In the fourteen Lokas and the twenty-one hundred different Brahmāṇḍas, He showed those within me, myself, or showed them to me within myself. Through that which he gave to me, that knowledge, I understood that I am immortal and found that bliss, or that happiness, which is also unending. Without fate and luck, one does not have that darśana or that connection with the Master in the human world. It is one that is found when you are within this human birth, but then also to have the luck to come into the connection with the spiritual Master. Bandhana se niṛbandhana kīna. From being bound or from being trapped within the cycle. He made one free and removed those fetters. He made one into the Jīvana Mukta, or the one who is liberated while still living, whilst within the body. Satguru Śrī Devpurījī. So, Guru Śrī Devpurījī is constantly living in what is called Niradaya Bhāvī, sort of Niradaya, so he is constantly living without that attachment. Śrī Svāmī Dīpa Śaraṇasa Gurū Kī, Dina Dina Nūra Savāya, and Svāmī Mahāprabhujī, in the protection of his Gurū, Śrī Devpurījī, is constantly, day after day, within that light, I guess, bathing in that light of Devpurījī. Shall we sing it? Oṁ Bole Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa. Very good. Next time we shall bring a little light, as there is always some little light for the letters to see. I have what always remains in Europe. It’s a far distance, you know. So, you can bring it. Where? No, no, apartment, tillage, everything is apart. So, good evening once more, my dear sisters and brothers. The bhajans, we call bhajan means the songs, and there are different kinds of songs. The best way to learn anything, there are different techniques. One technique is very, very good to learn, and you will never forget again. Nowadays, our students sometimes can’t understand, and when examination comes, they don’t know what to do or what to say. Our memory is gone, unfortunately, in this modern technology. Maybe some of you still have that memory very clearly. So, do you have 50 telephone numbers from your friends by heart? And why is it gone? Our memory is gone. 20 numbers. So it’s like this, and when someone asks us, and then we ask, "Please, can you tell me your number?" And one will tell five, six, eight, and so on. And again we say, once more, please. Again, can you tell, repeat once more? This is a very... our memory is so good. But there are some still; there is one very young boy in India, and he knows almost all the languages, and it is unbelievable. But that is something, maybe God’s gift. So one of the best memories should remain in us; it will be like putting on a beautiful drama, a drama. Play some game in a nice way, and in this game, let’s say this with this, this... subject on this, so you write that there was a farmer, and that was a house rider, and there was one coming with a tractor, etc., and all together, how it was this. Now, but we put on the point there: mathematics, okay, the tractor, the science. We take it as the horse, like this, and then we work with this. Don’t tell it is a science and this and that, but we give such meanings, but in a different way. You will remember forever. Now you have heard this little story, that was a story about farmers and horses, a rider and a tractor, etc. Now you will remember this always. There was one Indian master who came, and he was telling stories about horses and this. This you will never forget; the rest you will forget. So this was always the drama, the one to remember everything. Second, mostly we are saying our grandmother, or our sister, or our brother, an elderly one. And they tell you the story, and such a story that we will not forget. My grandmother told this, such a story. So that remains in our brain. Similarly, there is some song. There are different songs. It depends on which subject one is singing, doing this and that. I think you will remember, once someone told me in America, and I don’t know who the singer was or who sang it, but someone made a joke. And he said something, maybe I remember, but maybe a little bit forgotten how it is, that song. So, and he said, "Someone who is going, so what is that? Goodbye? No, saying bye." See you later, alligator. No, you see, "See you later, alligator," and then what is the other one? Oh yeah! See, for a while, alligator, crocodile. Yeah, you see. Now, we all understand some such a song or a story with fun. Now, it remains in our very good. Similarly, our memories remain if we want to keep them in the best way somehow. Now, here is one joke again. So, one father said to his son, "Don’t worry, go to school and this." If you don’t remember, it’s not in your brain. But, my son, it’s in my hand, in your hand. What? What was? Yeah, this is that. If it’s not in the brain, don’t worry, you have it in your hand. No? Everything, whatever you have, you are typing here, this, that, this, that. So, therefore, the best way, when a student or your child cannot remember what you are writing and writing and still learning and this, give one story, and he will be the best. He or she will remember everything. So, this is our bhajans, what we say, and this is what I want to tell about connecting today with the Kuṇḍalinī. Kundalini. Now, I think many of you know Kundalini Yoga. Before I step into that Kundalini subject, do you know what Kundalini means? So perhaps I should explain first. Everyone, you know the name of the Kuṇḍalinī, okay? And if you know the Kuṇḍalinī, then definitely you have some experience. Yes. You have no experiences. No. No one? Energy? Yes. But did you experience something? No. Okay. Did you read some book about Kuṇḍalinī? Oh, very good. That is something. So, the Kuṇḍalinī is the best chapter of yoga, and in a very practical way. In yoga, invitations, and many other things, give this knowledge in such a way that one who doesn’t want to understand will get lost. So it is indirectly, information is given. So the bhajans were saying, "Mahārāj Satguru Amar Lāī Amar Jadī, My Satguru, my master, Dhokhī." Which master? That which is not anymore alive, but that master who is called a Satguru. And that our ancestors gave us that knowledge, and we give it further. Amar Jadi, these are two words which are very important. Amar, and you will understand, you know also what Amar is. This is a Hindi word, and of course, yoga is coming from that Sanskrit language, Hindi language, or Indian culture, etc. The one word now is in every house and in every person; that one way name is sure. In Australia, they know more than Indians. And that’s one word you know, that’s called yoga. Yes? Even they did not practice, and they do not know. But they will just say, "That’s yoga, that’s yoga, yogī yoga." Everyone, definitely. So at least this seed is in our mind. And one day this seed will sprout. And that will bring something good into our life. So, Amar. Amar means immortal, immortal, the mortal and immortal. Now, immortal literally means that we will not die anymore. Once we go, this body will give us separation. But there are some yogīs, this is, I did not see. Maybe someone has seen, but it is there. It is there from my lineage master from Satyugas. He is there, but I also did not see him. I had three visions in the Himalayas from my master, Alakhpurījī. The whole story, I don’t want to tell you now. So immortal, Satguru, my true master, my good teacher, you can say it, good professor, etc., etc. Amar, he brought immortality. The master brought that knowledge to me, immortality. Mahāprabhujīp Karatā Mahāprabhujīp Karatā He Kevalam. He will come one day, and that’s called Āyurveda. Āyurveda. Is there anyone who doesn’t know? Have you not heard this word, Āyurveda? Anyone here, please? I’m surprised. Australians are well informed. So, Ayurveda. Āyur means our life. Our life, my life, my āyus. How long am I living? How long will I live? Āyurveda, Āyurveda,... In this, okay? Yes. So you just look it in, and then you will see. You will get all, and you will get how many billions, trillions of yogas there are of this and that. It’s very interesting. It will come to the point that we can’t count, but yogīs have counted. Like long ago, we had—we were putting one line, two lines, three lines, no? Then one, like we, and one line more, and so on. And one that I don’t know the name in Indian, who was it? He gave a solution. It made mathematics so easy then, and that was the zero. Zero. And now everything is so clear. So it goes with the zeros, and it’s a joke. Only zero? It’s nothing. So also we can see there is nothing. But it is, so the zero made mathematics easier. Okay, let’s go further. So, Āyurveda. There was a Satyuga time, the churning of the ocean. Forgetting, longing to get nectar from the ocean. And that is a story you know very well, you will know. And for that nectar, it came as nectar. And so it was churning, and it was fourteen. Fourteen best jewels came. Now, jewels means the best quality. Your child is the most beautiful one, or your daughter or your son born for you is like a jewel. So in the beginning, even that time came, the alcohol. And alcohol is also known to save life or to kill life. So all this, the elephant with the seven trunks of the elephant. In my country, there are so many elephants. In Africa, there are so many elephants. But I didn’t see even one and a half trunk of the elephant. Mahāprabhujīp Karatā Mahāprabhujīp Karatā He Kevalam. They have to throw the devas away. For ages and ages, they are suffering the devas, and then again they are coming and fighting again, and they are winning and they are winning. This is a game which we know as good and bad. One day we have good thoughts, and one day we don’t have good thoughts. This is within us. It is in us, not outside. And the nectar is within us. Goodness is in us. Everything is in us. Well, finally, I don’t want to go further. It came, the nectar. Nectar came very nicely, one pot, and the gods came from the ocean. And that God was called the, what was that? From the Āyurveda’s God? Dhanvantari. He came out at that time, many, many ages ago. So that God Viṣṇu brought that Dhanvantari, and Dhanvantari—"Dhan" means prosperity. Now you can say, "Oh yes, now I can understand the prosperity." But only the Dhanvantari, we will not understand. So he brought this nectar, Viṣṇu. When they were churning, sometimes an elephant came, sometimes a cow came, sometimes this came from the oceans. So the Rākṣasa said, "Okay, this we don’t need. Elephant, give it to them." All these things, we will take these, like that we are fighting. If you go to Bangkok, did you go to Bangkok? And when you come to Bangkok, what is the name of the airport in Bangkok? Yes. Do you know what the name of that is? Swaraṇ Bhūmī. You know that? No, because that was Sanskrit, and it was the kingdom of the God Rāma. And still, always the king, who is the king of Bangkok, is always named Rama. And svaraṇa means the gold, and bhūmi means the earth. My country, my earth is a golden earth. This is in Sanskrit. Swaran Bhumi is just so beautiful. And when you go there, then when you are going back from Bangkok, you come there in the airport, and there you will see a very big, what are called the statues, statues, many, many. One side is the devas, and one side is the devas, and they are churning the ocean. It’s beautiful. They have done very, very beautifully. Did you see someone? Who did not see should go and see that. It is beautiful. And what is this? That is from that time. So it’s not, I’m not making a story. I’m only following the story which was from that. So finally comes the nectar. Nectar means when you take one little drop, like a fog drop from the fog, that which comes to touch our body, we become immortal. Now we will not die anymore, we will not come back, we will be in that oneness with all, the nectar. There was a fight between the devils and the goddess. Now, Shiva, God Shiva, definitely you know the words of Sadāśiva. And Shiva is the only one who became the creator. And he has no mother, and he has no father. He himself manifested himself. And that’s why Śiva is immortal, and he is for everyone. Shiva keeps all in harmony, therefore he also takes care of the devils and the devas. And the devas, the devas, they worship Śiva, and the devas worship Śiva. And what is that? That is our buddhi. That is in our body: our negative and positive qualities within ourselves. So, again, Śiva is within us. All is in our body. Now they finally came out of heaven, the Rākṣasas and the Rākṣasas and the Devas. So Śiva thought, "I will give them some work and let them work." So they were churning the ocean, and then Vishnu comes. This story you know by. When it comes, the nectar, that day begins, is called Āyurveda. So, the life of Āyurveda is from that Satyuga, is this Jadībhūti, what we said. All our vegetation and everything, this is that nectar. So, this is the story, a little bit. I don’t want to go further. What happened? But you know the Kumbha Mela. The big Kumbha Mela in India is happening now. How many thousands, millions, and millions of people are there? Only one day, making it deep in the Gaṅgā, Yamunā, and Sarasvatī meeting together on that constellation, we go deep inside. In one day, there were about 52 million people at one spot on the river. It’s not, and no one invited them. That’s it. That is all. Go. I was there just now, I came, and it is still going on. This is on this constitution, constellation, sorry. Now, in this Āyurveda, there is a nectar and there is a poison. Poison can also become nectar. Poison can save our life, and poison can take our life away. The poison of the Australian, what is it called, red-bellied snake, yeah, so many snakes. But this poison can also save our life. Part 2: The Threefold Nature of Plants and the Wisdom of Ayurveda But how to use it, how much, and so on—that is what God has done. Everything is good. Take care. That’s it. So there is a classification called Jaḍī, Bhūtī, and Vanaspatī. These are the three names you should remember: Jaḍī, Bhūtī, and Vanaspatī. Now, the jāḍī means roots. Ayurveda uses the roots of the vegetation very, very much. In the roots, there is much more power than in the trunk and the leaves. What is a bhūtī? Bhūtī is a herb. All these herbs that we have in our garden, we have everywhere—only we don’t know which have what kind of good qualities. So what is a bhūtī? You have to understand. Bhūtī is that which grows for one or two months, like this, and then dries and dies. That we can take. As long as the plant lives, we can take the leaves, and when it is dried, we can take all. Similarly, after this plant and herbs, we can take the roots also. So it means we should not destroy life as long as it lives. But then we can take the roots, or we can take the whole plant. Ayurvedic doctors, at that time, they did not make any business. They have that knowledge, and they will come to the plant and pray to this vegetation. These trees, it is like a life, living, spiritual for us; it is like a god. And we know how, without all this vegetation, we will not live. And so the Ayurvedic doctor will sit and say to that herbal plant, "Please, can I take some part of you? For this person or animal is suffering from illness, and can I use a little bit of this?" And then he takes it and goes. Now, he or she is a doctor of Āyurveda. What is talking? The plant is listening, giving an answer, but we cannot. Purījī, Purījī... All different herbs’ names are in this, but they have different properties. They make it as a chemical, so on, so on, so on. The third is called Vanaspati. Vanas is the forest, and pati is the leaves of the trees. That leaves of the trees means now the leaves are changing, some every year, some after a long time. So, we can take the leaves, but we should not destroy the tree. It is like a sin to destroy this tree. This tree is standing there. The leaves, the flowers, the fruits, the nuts, the trunk, the bark, and the roots—all is the divine. What is the divine for us? Good things. This tree can save our life. It is there. So it is said, we will take a stone and throw it up at the tree to get the cherries. We throw the stone. And what will the tree do? It will give us the cherries. That tree will not take a stone and throw it on your back. This is that. > Sarvar Tarvar Sant Jan, Chautha Barse Mein, > Parmarat Ke Karan, Dharisa Bne De. There are Sarvar Tarvar Sant Jan, and they are for the rain, the forest, trees, the lake, and holy saints. They are connected as God. What is a God? Not somewhere hanging in the sky. It is our good thing. If you are very good and nice, you are like God. Why? Because your soul, your inner self, your goodness, that is like God. So there are two kinds of God. One is the not-visible God. What to do with that? And there is a visible God; that is a very good one. And there are Devas and Rakṣasas. So devils and divines, both are on this side. So, Āyurveda: Āyur means life, and Veda means knowledge, Veda. So the books, mostly the first scripture, which is called the Vedas, they are the first Vedas. But in the written Sanskrit language, who was the first in this world to be written, and when? In more than two million years, others said, "You are going now?" Hari Om. Give her prasāda, moment. Give her prasāda, please. And so, this you can give her. Thank you. And so this is within us, which is coming, and there are Devas and Rākṣasas. So one is God coming only time to time, and the other is God coming all the time, and that is best in human life. But if they do not follow all the principles of nature, then they are devils. There is a very rare God. So this is Āyurveda, and in this Āyurveda is what we are doing. Our water, our plants, all fruits, everything. What we utilize, what we touch, what we inhale, everything is a creation of whatever we say, God or not, the creator. And we are there. If we follow and understand, then we can come to that liberation, so that we will not come again in a different way. Some said, "I want to come back." Yes, you can come back, but it is not necessary, because you don’t know how the next life will be. There is a... we’ll come to a different subject on this. So, Āyurveda, Āyurveda, and this was a bhajan that our Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar Jasārājī was singing. So, my master brought Amarjadi. This one word, Amarjadi, who speaks, learns, who knows the Hindi language, the Sanskrit language, they will say, immediately they know what it is. Amar Jadi: Jadi is a root. Amar is immortality. So the master got the roots. And what kind of roots? That knowledge from within us brought as a root, the words to give to everyone, to me and to you. That was what our master gave us, that from the deep of his thought, but the very depth of his heart. Sometimes we said, "I tell you from the very deep of my heart, what is worth it." What? You brought your heart out? How did you bring it out? But it is, we understand, because that is within ourself. And so, what is Kuṇḍalinī Yoga? The same thing in Kuṇḍalinī is this. So this whole bhajan, if I translate it, then it will take a long time. Did you understand what I mean, what Āyurveda is? Yes? And, like, these bhajans are? Now, what I said, one is a story, one is a drama, and one is like a poem or a song. And this remains in our brain, the other does not. And that’s why they made beautiful stories everywhere, or beautiful songs, and this and that remains in our life. So beauty is the words within us. Learn that. Everything will be there, and we will be very pure, and so we continue. Make a little interval for one bhajan of the hour. Now we know what is Jaḍībhūti. Jadībhūti and Vipriya Vaneśpati. Nature knows itself how to take care, how to live, etc. But we humans are out of that. We do not follow with nature. And that’s why humans have more difficulties. We did not know, let’s say, from our grandparents; hardly there was something like cancer. From where is cancer coming now? Ayurveda said, "Because you went out of my path, you are suffering." All these chemicals, all this in our vegetation, our fields, and grains, etc., we should come back to the organic. The politicians have got power in their hands, and they don’t let us go so far as to make everything organic again. We don’t know how to do it, and the field which has been suffering with the chemicals takes 15 to 20 years to clean that soil again. In the ground, in the earth, deep in the earth, the water is also polluted. If we are drilling, we will see in India, even at 300 or 400 meters, we are searching for water. In Australia, I think they do not drill so much; it is not allowed, so the water remains there. But through the rain in the fields, where there are all these pesticides, it is going slowly, slowly deep. So everywhere we are destroying, destroying everything. The Body's Chakras and Connection to Nature Now, let’s come to the second point of our body and the chakras. The first chakra, let’s begin, is on our foot sole, which is connected to the earth. And all the energies and chakras from the whole body are in the foot sole. These people are using the fact that every point on our foot soles, our toes, there are techniques to awaken those chakras. Otherwise, they said we can heal the illness through this and this and this, like this. So it is different. Either you awaken the chakras, or you are doing something and making them healthy. Okay, that’s good. So, from the sole of the foot to the ankle joint. This is called the earth chakra, the earth chakra. This chakra is in your own body, and you can do very well. If you have the possibility, try at least 10 minutes. If you can do more, that is okay; otherwise, at least 10 minutes, 10 minutes a day, walk barefoot on the earth. In your garden, put the water, make it a little bit wet and walk on it. Be careful that it is not slippery, okay? That also can make problems. So every day, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, walk on the earth, in your garden. Second, same in our hands, about 10 minutes, work on the earth with the hands, not with the gloves and so on. Put the water, do this, do the garden, this, that, that. So your hands should work in the earth. That comes from the sunlight; that sunlight, the power is more in the earth than on the surface somewhere. And this we can get, this energy, through this chakra which is in our bodies. So see if you can really, if it is a possibility somewhere, then do it and tell after three months how your health is. Even people, there are some saying, trying to heal the cancers. I don’t believe that cancer will be healed, but at least it can be easier in our body, and it will not be so painful. So, earth really is the earth. As a mother, it is in mothers. So first, chakras on our foot soles, or we can say also in our hands. So, these are the chakras called the earth chakras. From the ankle joint to our knees, this is the vegetation, all these herbs and this and that and everything. So, also, if you are in different countries, like in New Zealand, you can walk barefoot and with nothing, with only half-coat trousers, you can walk; there is no danger. Australia has a different life. They are all very good, great ones, yeah? So, be careful with that. There are all kinds of animals, and those animals are very, very good. Okay, it’s a good life. This is life, living here. After that, till the knees. And so, if you treat your foot soles with the earth, your, the, what is lace? Lace. Knees. I see you said lace. I don’t know what lace is. Shari, this is their, in other language, yeah, lazy is a laziness, but they have, they are not lazy, they are active, thank you, but lazy, okay, I will say lazy, I will confuse all Europeans, oh, it’s good to know, I will say the lazy. This is hard, okay. Thank you very much. This is a Tasmanian dialect, okay. The knees, to tilt the knees from the ankle joints till the knees. If we get the energy from our foot soles, our knees will be very strong and very good. There will be no knee problems, no pain. How nice. At home, half up, you can do 15 minutes, and then you will see what is happening, good. Good, very easy. What do you have to do every day? From the knees to the hip joints, to the hips. This is called animal chakras, animal qualities, animal behaviors, etc., etc. So this is, but it’s not negative. Everything is positive, but you can take it negatively. It depends on how you are thinking. Then, at the bottom of the spine, there is the first cakra. From there begins the border between vegetation, animals, and humans. So, from the animal chakras and human chakras, that is between, that is called Śiva. Shiva is for both, for the animals and for men. Now, if you go to Nepal, or if you have been to Nepal—you may not have been in Nepal, but you read something about Nepal—so there is a place called Pāśupati Mahādeva. Did you hear that, Paśu? Pashu means animals. Pashu and Pati are the humans. So, this is both. Between them is Śiva. And that’s why this is the Kuṇḍalinī coming down from there, which is Śiva. And Shiva is balancing our legs, this strength, as well as our spine and further. If we practice every day, we will have fewer problems and troubles, even when we are very old. When you are young, you say, "No, it doesn’t matter." It does matter. Days will come very soon, my dear. Yes, yes, it will come. But keep on doing the exercises. And for that, you have those exercises which are not so hard. Don’t do this acrobatic always, so go completely, and this, please, don’t torture your joints and your bones, etc. So Sarvahitāsana, practice every day Sarvahitāsana, and you will have no problems with your joints. And if someone has problems with the joints, you know, problems with the joints everywhere—the fingers, wrists, elbows, and so on—then you have very good Āyurveda, which is in your kitchen, in your grandmother’s kitchen. We call it haldi. You know what haldi is? Thermic, and that will be. Somebody is coming. And so, if you use two to three teaspoons of turmeric powder every day, your joints will be very good. You are like your car, which has got grease on the joints, yeah? Very good, very good. Your eyes, your thoughts, your heart, your joints, your energy, everything, this is one of the things like nectar that is called. But it should not be grown where there are chemical things. And we are here, we are available, we are getting everywhere. Thank you. So this is Mūlādhāra Chakra. Now Mūl, Mūl is the root. So, till here we are the root, and from here to comes up is called the human, and that is the trunk of this branch of our spinal column. And everywhere there are cakras. And after that, from above our eyes, that’s called the Ājñā Chakra. And that is the border between humans and God. Humans and God. So when you come there, here, on this border, you will arrive. Then you have good thoughts, good thinking. It’s like a God. But you should know, there is one technique: every morning when you get up, open your eyes and say to yourself, "I am human." That’s only one word finished. I am human. Then will come: what are humans, what makes me human, etc. When we see that someone is doing cruel things, we will say, "Oh my God, it’s not a human." It happens sometimes, no? Oh my God! This person is not a human. And that is that. In the morning, we say to ourselves, "This is a self-training, self-education." I am human. It doesn’t matter how I am, but I am a human. What does it mean to be human? And how does one develop human qualities? These are the three things. Your entire kuṇḍalinī and everything, your knowledge and everything, you will be like one of the best flowers in the garden, blossoming, beautiful. That is all the science of the chakras and how we are going. So, where do the chakras begin? And more powerful than all chakras is the nervous system. And these are 72,000 nāḍīs according to the yogic anatomy. I don’t know, I am not a doctor, so I don’t know, because a doctor cannot say how many nerves, because they have cut it, so many operations, and so many roots are gone.
