Our Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara, Swami Jasharāj Purījī, was giving an introduction. Many of you know Lord Jasharāj jī. I have known him for a long time. He became a holy saint when he took sannyāsa. After that came a lot of listening, talking, and studying. Then Jasharāj jī attained a higher level among sannyāsīs, swāmīs, and sādhus from Ādiguru Śaṅkarācārya, who established the ten different akhāḍās. His is the Mahānirvāṇī Akhāḍā. I just want to tell you that becoming a sannyāsī, a monk, has its levels, and the highest one can attain is Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara. At this time's Kumbh Melā, he did not come because he had a duty here. Otherwise, it is like Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara is like a pīśāc. We have won, Śaṅkarācārya and the Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara. So Swāmī Jasharājpurījī is here, and I am very happy to see him again. He is from my lineage, from my masters, and he became a monk. I gave him the ceremonies, etc. Dear ones, this country, Australia—I have been traveling throughout Australia since 1980, so I know a little bit about it. The people, everything... I think Australians are one of the biggest groups of practitioners of yoga compared to some other countries. You are aware of physical health, and many practice yoga for developing human consciousness. We humans are the same as other creatures; we have a soul. But other creatures also have a soul. And not only these creatures, but vegetation also has a soul. When we chop down a tree, within a few minutes—or for a big tree, it may take half an hour or one hour—the whole tree begins to die. All the leaves go down. This means there is a life there. Each and every leaf of the grass also has a life, and there is also life in the water. You also have life, a soul. Do we know what the soul is? Yesterday, I had a program, a lecture, at the Sunshine Coast, and I was speaking about the quality and nature of the soul. Many of us say, "It is my soul," and you say, "Your soul." Yes, it is yours, and mine, and theirs. But in reality, it is only one soul. This is perhaps the first time you are hearing that every soul is not a different soul. If you go to a higher consciousness, you will realize this: there is only one soul, and that one soul is on our earth now. How will you understand that there is only one soul? Let's say there is an ocean. From the ocean, we take water in different parts—in big ones, small ones. The sweet water that comes also originates from the ocean through steam, clouds, rain, etc. But water is water—salty or sweet. Maybe this water is in fruits, in juice, but it is the water in creation. It is said there are 8.4 million different creatures. I tell you this not because I counted them, but because it is said by the scriptures and saints, so we have to believe. If not, begin from today onwards counting how many different creatures there are: jalatara, thalatara, and napatara—the creatures in the water, on the earth, and in space. But again, it is one. There are different parts, but the water inside is one. Life. Water is life. Life is water. Now, water has different qualities. There is a duality now. There is one bottle; inside is alcohol, and also water. But it is turned into different qualities. In fruits, there are different qualities. Similarly, every creature's soul is within them, dwelling in that form, in that life, in their body. We have five elements, which we all know very well. These are the five principles, elements: space, fire, air, water, and earth. This all comes together, but the soul is not that. There are different things in our body, and the bodies are different: the physical body, the mental body (which is also called a body), and the subtle body. In Vedānta philosophy, there are five, and these five bodies we call kośas. Annamaya Kośa: anna means nourishment, food. This is the physical body. Prāṇamaya Kośa: prāṇa is the energy, life, strength, etc. So we have this annamaya, prāṇamaya, then the manomaya kośa. Mana is the mind, and our mind is like our body. It is one layer after another. The strength of the mind is very powerful. It is expanding and contracting. You can go within a quarter of a second. I can bring you there, and now you are only here—and that's the mind. You can be that one. For example, I will just take the name, even without explaining. You are already there. Let's say the moon. Now you are already on the moon with your mind, or beyond that. So each and every one of us is dwelling in the entire universe: manomaya kośa, prāṇamaya kośa. The prāṇa is the energy, the strength. So our mind, our strength, our body... Vijñānamaya kośa—vijñāna means science or knowledge. All is in our body. We are. But still, the soul is different. These five bodies will just disappear. Your body will not die. We say, "Okay, this person has died, this animal has died." Yes, we say it. But in reality, that's also not dying. When the soul is separating, going out, then all these five elements, as the five bodies, are becoming one again: water in water, earth in earth, air in air, fire in fire, and space in space. It doesn't die, no, and it will come again. How the soul is coming, where it is happening... And so, all these five elements are coming. This is according to the science of yoga, and especially the science of yoga is this: chakra and kuṇḍalinī. Now, definitely many of you know about kuṇḍalinī, about chakras, the energy, etc. Our soul, which is individual—we are saying that now because it is in one vessel, and everything is within—and there we are trying to come to that, our consciousness, that merging of our soul into what we can call the cosmic consciousness. That's called liberation. So you, or me, or they, we are in the case of five bodies. We will go, we will go again into other bodies. And when we go out of this body, that's all. The speed is very, very high, like when a star is falling. It's like in one second, from a far distance to the earth. So don't think that now my soul is here, my body is here, and we are now here. Then we make ceremonies, go to the graveyard, pray to that. This is another philosophy, but there is nothing. But that is our attachment, our feelings to our families: mother, father, brother, sisters, husband, wife, friends. We have attachment, but this attachment is only on this earth. Sorry, so now here, how to purify that? What is our consciousness where this soul is with? And that part that will develop, there will not anymore be called the soul ātmā. I'm sure you are yoga practitioners, you know also what is the ātmā. Jīvātmā, ātmā—what is the difference between ātmā and jīvātmā? So, ātmā and ātmā is measured with that, called a jīvātmā. But when purification takes place, you have no negative karmas or qualities. If you have only very good qualities, good things, okay, this is also yours, but it's still you. You will stay here. It's like this: up and down. If you are good, then you have more good things coming up. If you're not, other things come up. But we have to bring that. Neither you have this one, neither there, there's nothing. Then you can proceed to that cosmic consciousness again. Otherwise, we as individuals, in every, even a small, very tiny creature—a little ant—the ant has itself. Also, more life in her when the ant, giving egg, is giving baby again. Once all inside, so getting the purification and coming out is through many different meditations. But meditation—it will come next day about this. What means the meditation? And there is meditation, different: the active meditation, the peaceful meditation, different, different. Where? But still, that is our soul struggling in this universe, how to come out. Meditation is not a way to come out, but it is just to come on the good way, to remain on that path. That's coming mantra, that's coming the kuṇḍalinī, there's coming śaktipāt. There are many, many things, and all are good. We should not criticize about any, because everything who is trying, doing good? They are doing good. In this hall we are sitting here, how many people? But we are all one, and therefore we cannot, or who am I to criticize one person and not the other person? And this good person is, did that? One that is a naughty person, etc., etc., but in reality, we are one. So that is how we are coming to the chakras. And chakras are not like this. You will see in the... I have one here, what you call that, yes please. This is a chakra, and in chakra, what I will explain to you and show you is not in my body, neither in your body, but there are the symbols which have their meaning, and this meaning is that point energy in our body. So, according to the Indian methodologies, the chakras are like this, and maybe in others, maybe they are different. It has brought together some symbols, what is what, and then we can understand this chakra is only that one. We come now after that also, and what means this all here? Everything is very clearly explained. There's a lotus flower, but in reality there is no lotus flower, but what is the quality or what is the meaning of that? And that has been brought together. Well, we will see now one video, very short, about this kuṇḍalinī cakras, and we will continue. So when we are all one here, we are all one. We should not criticize that one or this one. When our body is gone, we are all beautiful salt together, like an empty space, sky. We are one. There is nothing, so it is very hard for the humans to understand, and, of course, other creatures, they... We cannot speak about that. We will speak about these animals and so on, 8.4 million different creatures. From them, one is the human. And the human has more capacities, energies, etc., and we can develop. We do develop. We understand. So now, the human. Life is here. Either we go up, or we go down. We come after that. Please, thank you. They are doing this one acupressure, and that, or the acupressure. So they take one little needle and touch somewhere on the body, as well as you touch somewhere here or here or... here or somewhere on the monitor, the needle is moving, and if that point is not caught, then it will only move like this. So everywhere there are points, meridians, and there is this chakra. So chakra is in our whole body. Sorry, it was a long airplane—12 and a half hours, India to Melbourne—so I think Indians like more air conditioning. Well, so all these chakras are in our body. Everything, everywhere, at each point, there are a few vibrations going on, and that is known. We call the very fine... Our nerves, some kind of the nerve is visible, touchable, and which is only like a stream, air is going through. And these are 72,000 nerves in the complete, a healthy human's body, and that is there shown in these charts what we are looking. There are many, many major chakras, and what is here visible is very little. They are major, major points, but there is more than this in the whole body. When we get purification through our whole body, then we can get our self, our health, our divine consciousness, and that we have to purify through the prāṇāyāma breath techniques, breath techniques, meditations, the singing, the resonance, etc., etc. How we can balance? Then our whole body will be healthy. And the best, so do practice, and you are doing here in this hall. And prāṇāyāma breath technique has to be done systematically. When you come as a yoga teacher and you want to teach, learn yoga, okay? You will get āsana, then like this, and then. You think that I'm a yogī, I will be very happy for you that you are a yogī, but you are not, because still we are not there. We are coming there. So, practicing prāṇāyāma is the purification of the body and keeping all the nerves and glands. And these are the techniques of the Prāṇāyāma: Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumnā, Sūryanārī, Candrabhoya Vedan, Anulom, Vilom, Bhastrikā, Kapālabhāti, Ujjāyī, etc., etc. These are all purifications for the body. Your yoga teacher should teach you. So I would say the physical exercises, you can do less, but do more the prāṇa, the energy, the strength, the clarity in your body through the prāṇāyāms. Then you will understand what chakras are and what your happiness is. You will be joyful. You will feel so when you can't touch these nāḍīs. These energies in our body are a fine energy, very fine. But also, you cannot begin to say, "Okay, tomorrow I am, and the day after tomorrow I feel, 'Oh, my all energy is there.'" No, no. You have to go step by step, like a woman becomes pregnant, and after one week you want to have the baby out. It cannot be. It will take nine months until the baby will come, and then we will have the beautiful child. And God has done everything systematically. Systematically, how many days? Then God is giving this, or nature, if you don't believe in God. But you cannot have immediately the head already there. Your soul, my soul, my consciousness, your consciousness, this is in the navel. That's called nābhi. And from here, it goes to the whole body, the whole creation. And if there is something in the navel that is not in order, the child will not be healthy. Anyhow, the chakras. I am coming to this, your chakra and my chakra, all are here. This is very nice, no? But you have that also, I see. Now, our body is divided into different levels. So the first is our earth. This earth is not only a planet, but it is earth. Planets may be different. This is the solid earth, our mother earth, and we are stepping on this. So, in your and my old foot, the soul is covered with the whole earth, not only Australia, okay? Also in Fiji too, or some others, wherever, anywhere. A tapu, so our chakras, our solid points are from the whole foot sole till the ankle joint, and when we have no consciousness, we are not balanced. Then we can have some problems. You can fall down, you can break your ligaments, or your, what you call, the ankle joint. So, here is our chakra, and every day I am talking about Kuṇḍalinī. Kuṇḍalinī is a science, unbelievable. You are, you are sitting. This whole chart is you, not me only. It is in you. So, if you want to become a good, healthy person, and if it is possible, about 15 minutes at least, or half an hour, walk on the good soil. Put a little water inside and walk on it. Just make your telephone, or whatever, feel that. And then, after, you can wash your feet. How you will feel! So happy, relaxed, and people who have headaches, this is that they should every day work on the earth because the earth is connected to the sūrya, the sun. When you are building this, then we are putting earthing. And what is earthing? Because from the clouds, the lightning can destroy the whole building. But that power from the lightning from the cloud is one thread of our earthing wire. Similarly, our whole body is balanced through our foot soles. And if not that, or you have time, sit at home on your sofa and take your footstool and do a little work, and do like this āsana. You have that yoga āsana in our, yes? Beautiful, beautiful. From here, we are exercising with our ankle joints, clockwise and anticlockwise, but our neck will be healthy. This and that both are in the neck, is very strong, and our ankle joint, the chakra. So till here is called the earth chakra. Few minutes or ten minutes, work with the mud. Earth, if you don't have anywhere, in the fifth or the tenth floor, you don't have it there. But you can bring something in your plants, and there in the plants, touch this and clean and make this touch that. In earth comes the energy in our hands, it will be beautiful, yeah. After you can clean nicely, and then of course you can make your nails, okay? No problem, yes. So you will think that, "Oh God, I'm coming into my office, and what will my boss say? Look, all nails are full of mud." No, you should clean it nicely. But touch to the Mother Earth, it is there. Like a little child is crying, and the mother's lap, and the mother is making like this and touching her mother's hand, how the child feels best. Or the father also, please don't only talk of the mother, father. It is also as it is. The same from the ankle joint till the knee is, what we call, the vegetation. All the vegetation is inside from the knee till the hip joint, at the beginning of the bottom of the spinal column. Animal chakras, so all, but you are having some different kind of emotions and anger and this and that, many things. Is this from the knee till here? Chakras, that's what. Slowly, slowly, everything is getting strengthened. It is strong and is strong, and then it is coming, man. The man's it. Means humans, now there is a strong power in the animals and humans, and this is the chakra, the mūlādhāra chakra. There it begins. It is your energy, my dear, and my two. So here comes, these are five chakras, very strong in the humans. And these five are the five elements. These five: physical body, mental body, etc. Annamaya kośa, Prāṇamaya kośa, Manomaya kośa, Vijñānamaya kośa, and Ānandamaya kośa. These are the five, we can say, kośas, I would say, the one after the other layer. We are in our, this is our tent, and one after another layer, and we are inside. These five, this is very, very important, very, very. And also, your kidneys, your liver, your heart, all the organs and glands in this body are depending on our chakras, which we have seen today on this screen. So, my dear, āsanas and prāṇāyāms, yoga, what you are doing is very good. You should do every day, but if you concentrate now systematically, automatically you will see in three months you will have completely different feelings, and different energy will come to your body automatically. You need to do anything, of course. You should not take the drugs. Otherwise, my whole work is gone with one glass of alcohol, because that is a too strong energy. Alcohol is too strong energy, so as soon as you drink a little something, your whole head is in your brain, there is some vibration, something like this. All nerves are in this, this... uh, disabled point on this drugs. I don't want to tell, prohibit you. You can do what you like. It is yours. But if you want to come in that way, then please don't take the drugs. Instead of the alcohol, drink the juice. The apple juice can also turn into alcohol. The grape juice is very nice and good, but it can turn into alcohol, so this is how the quality of the human is changing. That's very important to let us take care of our body. So these chakras from the end of the spine till here. Our thoracic glands, the thoracic glands, many times we have problems, and why that is, mostly the problems are because these chakras, this energy, is imbalanced. It's not good. There is chanting. With the chanting, we can address our thyroid problems, and there are many, many causes for why it is so. That may be for next time. After that, the fifth chakra, Mūlādhāra, Svādhiṣṭhāna, Maṇipūra, and Viśuddhi. After that is coming the level border of the human and divine, the human qualities, human power, etc. And then, above the humans, there is another highest point, highest power, and that is coming here, it's called Agnya Chakra. Our consciousness is here, and then is coming divine on the up. If you have the drugs and alcohol, then this Agnya Chakra is in this balance very much, and then all the glands and everything is different. Your choice, but if you want to go as a human into that human level to the divine, and maybe if you believe in God, then God, otherwise in the supreme one, that is so. This chakra, there is coming then after one, if that is called Bindu chakra. Bindu means a drop, and this is in everyone, men or women, in their body, in the forehead on the top of the head, when you cut your hair all and the hair comes about half or one centimeter, you will see the chakra there. Oh, that was it. You can put them off, okay? Thank you. And that is a call, the nectar, nectar... Means not a honey, not a sweet, it can be different. And this nectar, if we can get it, then our life will be long, our consciousness will be very balanced, good, everything. It is here, then the eighth chakra. That's on the top of the head here, that's what we call the thousand-petaled rose. It is like a sun, the sun's rays, and that is what we call symbolically Śiva. Śiva is that one who is called Swayambhū. Swayambhū means that I have no mother and no father, it is he who manifests himself. Now he is on the two seats: on the top of the head and in the Mūlādhāra Chakra. Here you will see on this Chakra, here is your Kuṇḍalinī power, your power, and there you are the elephant. And why the elephant is there? Yes, I will do, thank you. And so, there is an end. Is elephant you can't see? So, is it a little one? But why the elephant is here? An elephant had seven trunks. I am coming from a country where there are elephants. I was in Africa. There were elephants in some other countries also, elephants, but I didn't see two trunks, even only one trunk. But how do we show this here? And these seven trunks mean the seven minerals which are keeping our health. Very much so. How this is functioning in chakras, it will be tomorrow. Otherwise, you will say, "What was he talking? This and then this?" We are all like this. So, wish you all the best. This was a glimpse of Kuṇḍalinī. Tomorrow we will—what time is the program? When? Okay. Thank you, thank you very much. Thank you for listening. And you can take, I believe you have this book, and when you read this, the first chakra, and take time, everything is very, very... So this is, yes, the same. This is the mūlādhāra cakra. Other cakras we will see in this. Thank you.
