Jai Boliye Gurudev Kī, Jai Hari Om. Dear sisters and brothers, very good. Nice to see you. The Panditjī was reciting the mantras. It means it makes the atmosphere pure. The subject, he has spoken already something about Kuṇḍalinī, and I would like to ask you before that, do you have some knowledge about Kuṇḍalinī Yoga? If someone has, please raise your hand. Okay. Maybe someone doesn’t dare to raise a hand. No? Well, you know these charts about Kuṇḍalinī Yoga? Okay, further we will speak and we will see. Well, Kākaśī, Deva Brahm. Well, the yoga. Our subject is yoga. Yoga is a science of the human body, the mind, and the consciousness. Yoga is one of the very first in this universe. I would like to give a glimpse of creation and yoga. It is said, the empty space. There was nothing, only empty space. Ages and ages before, there was no creation. There, it said that then there was nothing, endless. There, we ask the question: Is the consciousness in the universe, in empty space, or is the space in the consciousness? Sometimes we ask a question: is the bird first, or is the egg first? And the egg is that entire, entire space, universe. It is said that consciousness can do nothing, have no desires, no wishes, and that matter cannot do anything. Vedas, maybe he was reciting some mantras of the Vedas, my dear sisters and brothers, may you know about Indian mythology, the yoga more. It is said that between the space and consciousness, between these two, are three principles: the harmony, the balance, and the creating. But who, and how, and what? The science of the kuṇḍalinī and cakras—definitely, you have to know something about it, those who are thinking about and doing yoga. It is said, when there was nothing, there came the resonance. That is called nāda-rūpa-parabrahma, nāda-rūpa-parabrahma. It is a Sanskrit word. Nāda means resonance, and that is what we call God, not this physical body, but that is the highest one, and that is the Brahman, the highest. It is said, "Eko’haṁ bahusyāme." "Eko’haṁ bahusyāme." I am one, and now I will multiply. But who said there was no one? No one was there, but there was the sound, the resonance, the vibration. I am only alone, and now I will multiply the sound. In this resonance of the sound, you have definitely heard or you were reciting one mantra, which is called Oṁ. Very beginning, very first is the Oṁ. It has no vibration, etc. There is only one in the whole universe. This is the beginning of yoga. From that resonance which is chained in our body, if we are looking, then everything is in our body. You need not go anywhere outside, and if you go out, you are lost. Everything is within yourself. Who is yourself is also myself. The body is different, but that consciousness is in the whole universe. There comes the sound, Akhāṛā, Ukhāṛā, and Makhāṛā. Akhāṛā, ukhāṛā, makhāṛā. These are the sound beginnings of the creation. After that resonance comes the light, the fire, the flame. And then comes the creation called Śiva. I hope that you know the word Śiva. And there is a little creation they have put here, the statues. So this is Śiva and Śakti. Shiva, Shiva is a consciousness, nothing else. And that is balancing, and the Shakti is that which is holding. The creation begins, and so nāda, light, and the vibrations. In this creation, there are 8.4 million different creatures from the sound, the nāda, the resonance of Śiva. Also, the Śakti was still not there. She was not there, and that is why Śiva is one of the first gods, the first creature, and he has no mother and no father. There was no brother, no sister, only one. Eko’haṁ bahusyāmi: I am only the one; he manifests himself, and that’s why we call the highest form Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. Śiva is the creator of 8.4 million different creatures, one of which is the human. All this life, what we are thinking can be thought: jalchar, thalchar, and nibchar. So the creatures, the life in the water, life on the earth, and that life in the space—all these creatures, but only that one. One is that human. Now we are in the human. I made everything very short. We humans, we have that knowledge, and it is in our entire body. If you want to see God, you will not see. Or did you see someone, God? Well, we can ask the Pandit, "Did you see God?" You can ask me. You will ask me about God. I didn’t see God. God, if we go out of the body, if we die, will we see God? No. So, where is God? And still we believe in God. So, God is you. You are the God, but this God is manipulated. Our soul, my soul and your soul and their soul, the animal soul, all. But in reality, only one. Me and you in that, our soul is only, we are one. Example, you know, you are sitting near the ocean. Ocean. And there are raindrops dripping, water raining. It’s nothing but the ocean. Everything, even in this vegetation, is water. So the water element, water is water. But quality means there is clean water and dirty water, the canalization waters in the sky, the clouds, or the ocean. So we are all sitting here, in reality, my dear brothers and sisters, we are one. We are one. One day we will come into that ocean. One day we will be in that universe, the God. As a whole, it is God. Now, how do we come back to our origin? That is a long journey. It is from the ocean that the steam comes, which becomes a cloud, which then begins to rain. The falling rain lands somewhere else, in the middle of Australia. Oh my god, when will this water come back to the ocean? But again, it will come. That will happen. Come, it will go in through the ocean. Purījī, Purījī... So, the water was falling, rain, very near to the beach of the ocean, but it flowed to the other side; it went to the colonization and so on. So, where this drops, that we can say, my soul, your soul, this and this and that. But when we are purified in oneness, we are all that is, which we call God. So, you have that, you have a beautiful soul, you have very pure thoughts, everything, you are great. In the Vedas, in the Upaniṣads, it is said, "Mātṛ Devo Bhava." What? Mātre Devo Bhava. The first God is a mother. The first God is the mother. Mātṛ Devo Bhava, Pitṛ Devo Bhava. There it comes, the father. So first is that mother, and that energy is there. Out of all this, we are now coming to these human bodies. Everyone has everything... Oh, again. Okay, I can take one. Thank you. Nice. You can give me one more. Thank you. That’s enough. Thank you. You were doing good work. We call our body the five elements: space, fire, air, water, and earth. So we call that one died, or we will die. We did not die; we will not die. Everything, even our body, is immortal. The earth is immortal. The water is immortal. The air is immortal. All these elements and the space are finally. So we don’t die, but the space, the elements will go into the elements: water into the water, air into the air. Everything we have is gone. Between this is our soul. So there are these five elements, and when we come to the form, then we call them Annamaya Kośa, Prāṇamaya Kośa, Manomaya Kośa, Vijñānamaya Kośa, and Ānandamaya Kośa. Kośa means the cover of the soul, which soul we have. The Annamaya Kośa: Anna means the nourishment. Whatever we eat is physical, that’s called Annamaya Kośa. And so this is the first cover or first room. After the Prāṇamaya Kośa, Prāṇa... Prana is that energy, very fine energies. So the prāṇa has a strong strength in our body. When you inhale, exhale, when you walk and go, when you get up or sit, which energy is that moving you? So this moving is the prāṇa. Prāṇa, the energy. That is an energy. Prana is our strength. If you are very weak, then you have no energy to get up or wake up. So prāṇa, and prāṇa is what we are getting from different elements. So our prāṇa, and as long as prāṇa is here, we will not die. We will not die; then there is no death. But we are saying it is death because they are separating. This energy, prāṇa, now the soul and prāṇa, what we call the energy, is very close. We cannot say sometimes this and that; it is one, the prāṇa, energy. The third point: annamaya kośa, prāṇamaya kośa, then manomaya kośa, the mind. The most power is the mind, and the mind can lead us anywhere. The mind is speed; it is very quick. I can bring you through the mind within no time to where you want to go. And that is, let’s say, we think. I will tell you the moon. I said "moon," and you are already there. Who? Your mind. The highest speed is the mind. And that is our ātmā, our soul, our life. The mind is the most powerful, more than energy. The mind is very powerful. I tell you, and you will immediately go there, and then I will say, "Where is your car?" Immediately, you know my car is standing there; I park there. So the mind is always going. So therefore, O man, O human, that way of mind is the power that is bringing to a close what is God, what is this, all its elements. After that comes the vijñāna, science, or the knowledge. Everything the creator has created, but out of that, the humans. And humans have this power. Humans have that knowledge. Humans made all this science, and still the humans are making creation more and more and more. I tell you an example. In 1970, I moved to Europe. And from Europe, I wanted to make a telephone call to India. I was residing in Austria, yes? And in Austria, you put two more letters, so you make it Australia. So, we are Austria, you are Australia. Joke. So, when I wanted to make a telephone call to Rajasthan, Jaipur, you know, or Delhi, I sent a message on where to make a telephone call. And they said, "Wait, please, five minutes. We will give you a time when we can connect your telephone." And the message came: day after tomorrow morning, at 10 o’clock, a message will go from Austria to London, and from London we will try your telephone call to India. I was waiting. It’s not a joke, my dear. May you also know. So, there was a cable going through the ocean. And so, I was waiting at that time. They gave me the time. Very good. The telephone was ringing. I took the telephone and said, "Please wait. We are making your connection to India." It went to India, either Mumbai or Delhi. And from there, the connection was there in Jaipur. And in Jaipur, they said, "Okay, we are connecting your telephone in that house where you are." After five minutes, they said, "We are sorry, this line is not functioning." That time was like this. I was waiting for two and a half days, and everything was there. They wanted to connect, but there was no one. The cables were not functioning. That time, it’s not so far, about 48 years. And now, my dear, with one, only taking a telephone, even I need not take out. I will just press it, and the message comes and everything. So, you know more than me about all this science. So, how much have we developed as humans? And still, what is our science, our knowledge? Whatever we have gained, in my opinion, is maybe 2%. So still the human will develop and develop and develop, and science will be very good. Anyhow, this is in the human body, the human. So, Annamaya Kośa is nourishment, the food; Prāṇamaya Kośa is the energy; Manomaya Kośa is our strength, the mind; Vijñānamaya Kośa is our science; and then comes Ānandamaya Kośa. Ānanda means bliss. Ānanda means the best. In this Ānandamaya Kośa, this is where humans are either going up or going down. Ānanda is bliss, and you go to the highest levels. But, in another way, we can also say this is desire. The desire, all our work in the five elements, suddenly falls down, everything in the water. What? The desire. And desire is the weakness of every animal, creature, and human too. So either we go this side or that side. So, it is called, there are two ways or paths for us. That quality is called negative society. You come, and you come to the people, and somewhere, if, please, somebody is doing this, don’t tell something more bad, something. The drugs, that’s called the negative societies. Negative means this soul, this consciousness is falling down and down and down, and that one, after this life, will go to the... if you believe in the next life, then it will go to the other, lower way. Good quality, like you are sitting in... With your families, with your friends, in the church, in temples, or somewhere else, in temples you are always with the good qualities. There, our consciousness will expand and expand and go further. So it is in your hands, so it is called these two. And this, from these two, comes from one. One seed may be put in the earth; it sprouts and produces two leaves. These two paths are going toward good quality or bad quality. Likewise, the human is developing, and we can, in this life, develop this science of yoga. Don’t think that yoga is just nothing. It is. But what you are doing here, yoga exercises, that is only a physical exercise. You are coming, making different postures, this, that; it is a physical training. Yoga is something different. Yoga means union, uniting, harmonizing, this together. Yoga, yoga, coming together. And this yoga is our soul, connecting us to God, or this water unites again in the ocean. So, yoga is a consciousness in yoga. In the body of humans, we have here, in our body, can you give me the nāḍīs? Yes, yes, you are, lo, my, sir, all brothers, this is our body. And the yogic science, the yoga, said the human has 72,000 nerves in our body. According to the doctors, I don’t know. But in yoga, it is said, and it is true, and it is coming everywhere, that there are 72,000 nerves in our body. Nerves in our body, certain nerves, the nerve is so fine, just if you touch it, it breaks. And so, out of these 72 nerves, there are three powerful nerves. Yes, sir. The left side is the moon, and the right side is the sun. These both are balancing time to time, and this left we call moon. Just let’s say we call it the moon. Now, here, oh, you are bringing something gold to diamond. Okay, thank you. You can put it here. Thank you very much. Now we come to our left nostril. That’s called the moon. The moon is always changing, and similarly, our mind. Our mind is very restless. And so the mind is changing all the time in our body. Changing in our feelings, changing in our thoughts, and what not more. All the time, there is no staying in one point. It is the moon changing. The moon in four days is coming to the dark moon. And that is more than one can feel deep at the bottom of the ocean. The ocean at the bottom is not movement. It is peaceful and very nice. The waves are up, and on a full moon day, the waves are coming high. This is a moon that can move our ocean. And so our mind, and we are the ocean; our mind is moving all the time with desires, whatever this or that. The moon is a principle of the water, and water is movement. So this moon, in your, my, and everyone’s being, that water is the emotion. So the moon moves the emotion, and in our body, the ocean, what waves are these? They are emotion. So, we are in the motion of that water coming through the moon. Where is that moon? In our body. So, the element of water and the power of the mind is the moon. Part 2: The Balance of Nāḍīs, Chakras, and Kuṇḍalinī When I spoke about the mind, that mind is our left nostril. When it happens, a brain hemorrhage mostly comes from this left nostril, or the nerve—the moon. This is the moon. And this is the sun. That is the sun on the right side here. These two are balancing. After a few minutes, the moon takes over, and this nostril is flowing more. You can see now; find out, you will definitely find out. If you take your hand and exhale like this, from which nostril is coming more air? That means now your nerve is flowing. If more air is coming from the left side, then your moon is active. If it is the right side, it is the sun. The sun is active. They both have to be in balance. And when there is no balance, then different problems come. Mahāprabhujī kī karatā, Mahāprabhujī kī karatā, Mahāprabhujī. This mantra, your headache will again slowly, slowly go. Otherwise, like on the moon day, the high waves—sorry, on the sun and moon, full—the waves are high, and then... Now, my dear, I am giving you a talk about kuṇḍalinī and cakra, but very, very from the beginning. Now, this is the control by the consciousness, our consciousness here, and that is the balance. All this on the top of our head, that is our consciousness, life, this, etc., etc., etc. Now, out of 72,000 nerves, these three are very, very important. And that is if you practice what? The prāṇāyāma. Inhale, exhale, inhale. And yoga techniques should be very gentle, very fine. In yoga, real yoga, you should not move too much. Śrī Śrī... Indra, and Indra is Vajra. So it means that while practicing your yoga in daily exercises, yoga in daily life, when you will learn, you will think, "Oh, it’s boring. What? It’s boring." But it is very fine, slowly. And so, smoothly, slowly, slowly, the strength will come in you. So, yoga in daily life. What does it mean? As long as you will live, until the last breath of your life, you have to practice. And not only for one day or two days, or once a week. That’s a joke. That’s okay, a joke. You are inhaling and exhaling all the time. And there is another point in our body, the heart, our heart. Our heart is a sweet heart. One said, "Sweetheart, no? Thank you, my sweetheart." And are you good to your heart or not? Are you good to your heart? Sometimes yes, sometimes not. Anyhow, but our heart is so loyal to us. Did you tell your heart sometimes, "Please rest for a while"? My dear heart, you are so good. Now have half an hour or twenty minutes rest. He will say, "No, I am your guardian. I don’t leave you free." Like someone, a minister or something, and there is a guard that will not move this side and that side, always taking care of it. So, how much did you care for your heart? Though the heart is still not here, it is somewhere else. I hope that in these two days I am here. And so the heart is somewhere here. I will talk about this very much. There are many, many things; I am giving only a glimpse today. So, did we say to our heart, "My dear heart, just rest"? Yes, I tell my heart, and you should tell your heart. For example, one day, don’t eat anything, just a little water, so that your heart will have a little rest, less work, and peace. Come home and tell your partner nicely, happily, with good behavior; then this heart is resting, peaceful. And to your boss or your workers, be nice to them. And your heart said, "Please, don’t eat too much from the milk." What comes out? Thick butter. Don’t eat too much. Please, don’t eat something which is not so healthy for the body. It is our heart. Why do we have heart attacks? What is a heart attack? So, we can bring that far; there should be no heart attack. If you fast one day each week. No eating anything except water. But some cannot. If you don’t eat, you will get a headache, or you will be very dizzy, etc. Please, that is a different thing. So this Vajranāḍī, Vajra means very strong, let us say this is the trunk of the body, a very big, you have the trees, very strong trees, I see in Sydney’s parks, I came first time here in this city in 1983, and I was going with the train, Siddha Paramparā, Mahanirvāṇī Akhāṛā, Nāham Karatā. Prabhu Dīp Karatā Mahāprabhujī Dīp Karatā He Kevalaṁ Vajrā Nāḍī, and this Vajrā Nāḍī gives the other nerves. They are connected in the earth, the solid. This is the part of the body. Now, I am coming to the second point, the third point. This Nāḍī, and from this Nāḍī, from the top of the head, it is coming and connecting to your heart. You should look in this book. You have some yoga book. What is that book called? Powers in humans. Good. Good, good, good. We will see after. We don’t make a demonstration. So this is, let’s say, nerves, and these nerves are our prāṇa. And if these nerves are not there, the body is nothing. And here is energy. And how you can do with your awareness, our consciousness, that we will come further. There is a beautiful, beautiful story about ice cream. You liked ice cream? Oh, there is one very good story, a joke, for next time. Ninety, ninety, ninety-five percent, mostly, maybe now I don’t know, but ninety-five percent, the women are trying to protect the husband. We’ll tell you, "Don’t drink, don’t do this," but man is a little bit out of control, yes? And so, there is a story between a husband and wife about ice cream. And how? What happens with ice cream? That is another story. My dear, this is a chart of our human body, the chakras. Now, in the body there are immense chakras, immense chakras. When you go to the doctor who knows acupuncture, they will say, "Okay, let’s say this finger," and they will touch the needle, and on the screen, this is what we call it. And on this screen, there’s a needle, and the doctor is touching here, okay, because the camera is there. If this needle touches exactly that point, then the needle will move. And if it didn’t come to the right point, it will only move a little bit and come there. Similarly, as many meridians as there are in this body, that many are the chakras. Now, there is the first chakra; we can take it as our foot sole, our leg, our foot sole. So, from the foot soles, skin, till the ankle joint, it is called the earth chakra. And now, if you or we want to be healthy, then please, at least 20 minutes, barefoot on the wet earth, walk on it. Look after one month, see what good can happen to your kidney, what can happen to your thyroid from there. And there are many others. From the ankle joint to the knee is the vegetation. All chakras are our vegetation. From the knee to the hip joint are the animal chakras, the animal energy. And from that, the end of the down spine is coming up; chakras till the throat are called the human chakras. Now, from the human level to the animal level, there is a being, and that is Śiva. And that, in his country, Nepal, there is a beautiful big temple called Pashupati Mahāde. Yes? I know a little bit about your country too. So, there is Pāśupati Mahādeva. And in that country, there, they have restrictions: only Hindus can go into the temple. Because at the time of the British, when they were making so many things, the king of Nepal said, "Only Hindus can go; the rest stay in this." You can come to the door of the temple, you can see it from far, but not. Maybe one day. Because you are very pure humans. You are great. But you know, who knows, he was drunk and went in. Śiva doesn’t want that. So these are different things. Śiva is sitting here. Anyhow. So that’s called Paśu, Pati, Mahādeva. Paśu means the animal, and Pati means the Lord. So it is that Śiva, that Śakti, and Śiva is from here is the border, and this brings our human consciousness, and here down is the animals. And so the human should have discipline for different things, but animals may not. But now the animals have more discipline, and humans, unfortunately, are doing anything, whatever one should not do. Who said to the human? And that’s why the human will suffer, going this and that and that. From the Mūlādhāra Cakra to the Viśuddhi Cakra, and this Viśuddhi Cakra is there, and from there, between the Viśuddhi Cakra, is the human and the God consciousness. Awareness is our Ājñā Cakra. Here it will be in this place. And from that comes the other three, belonging to these three: the Agnya Chakra, the Bindu, and the Sahasrāra Chakra. This all is the energy, peace, knowledge, everything that you can achieve within these cakras if you do these exercises. Not only pranayama and asanas, this yoga which you are doing nowadays, our Prime Minister Modi here worked very hard to bring International Day of Yoga, and many, many people have yoga. But the people of Australia, many of you were not there, girls, you don’t know, I know more. At that time, these people, the Australians, were very aware of health and of doing yoga. And now I will say also, in all different countries, Australia is one of the countries that is making more exercises of yoga. But now, everything became different. Whatever you can do, this is yoga. Someone is laughing like a madman. This is not yoga. Okay, you can do that. That’s good for the thyroid. That’s a good something for your Manipūra Chakra, except a little bit. But that is not yoga. Yoga is that peace, harmony, and balance. So, above this, there is a chakra. That is here, the Ājñā Chakra. And this is called yoga: the left nāḍī, Iḍā, and the right, Piṅgalā. And this is a mantra of these two. Everyone, this is called Ha and Tha. Mantra is that, but who is always dancing? Ha, ha, he’s always gone. Yes, because it is very, very central, very... I can’t find the word. It’s very sensitive, very sensitive. You can destroy your heart. You can destroy kidneys. You can do many things from the wrong movements and the wrong things. Please don’t mind, and I hope that you don’t mind this. It is in San Francisco. I have been there also. There are a few yoga centers called Neket Yoga. You go there, yeah? Yes. That’s why you can’t go in. Why not? In Kumbha Melā there is also Nāgā Bābā. But they are different. They are holy. They are very holy. That I will tell you afterwards. Anyhow, I didn’t hear in India, and in the whole world where I’m, 50 years I’m moving here and there, there’s no naked yoga. Yeah, second, now it’s called Vinyāsa Yoga. You know, Vinyāsa Yoga. This you did not know, you begin. Vinyā Yoga, and many people go there in Vinyā Yoga. What are they doing? Yes. When you practitioners come, then at the door, when they enter, one person comes with a tray. Like in the aeroplane, with the first class or this, and they are offering water, alcohol, juice, etc. But they have only one juice, the alcohol. So you get a little sip of this, they drink and go and change their dress. After that, when they come into the yoga hall, there is another one like this. So again they drink, and now lie down and relax. So, half of relaxation with this, and then they are doing exercises. Then, in the interval, again the alcohol, and people go. That’s called wine yoga. In wine yoga, you cannot be divine yoga. You see, the divine is without wine. That’s it. Anyhow, thank you. So this is an energy in our consciousness, these chakras. And now, Kundalinī. Very short. This Kuṇḍalinī, kuṇḍ. The kuṇḍ is water. When you go to the mountain and there is somewhere collecting the water, a pond, a little pond, that’s called a kuṇḍ. Or you have it at home, you are collecting the water, it is a kuṇḍ. And kund, sometimes you see on a full moon day, where the moon is there and there is one circle, that’s called a kund. And that Kuṇḍ is down, Kuṇḍalinī. And there, what we are talking about is like a snake, but there is no snake. There is no snake. It is a movement of the consciousness. And from there, the energy begins to stem. Now, this is the first cakra of the human. We did not design for animals, plants, and this. And this is the chakras and kuṇḍalinī. Here, very down, best, first, is an elephant. Now, the elephant is not really there. It’s only a methodological design, something. But it has that quality of the elephant. And in this, the quality of that is called elephant here. An elephant has seven trunks. Now I will say, Swāmījī is making us stupid. Elephants never have seven trunks, but this one does. This one is showing. I have many elephants in India, but I didn’t see even two trunks, only one. I was in Africa many times. There are many elephants. Also, there is only one train. But what does this mean? What does it mean for us, for your health, for your organs, etc.? And then it goes further. There is a snake, the nerves, and Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumnā, they are running through this. Tomorrow, we will give the exercise and talk more about this Mūlādhāra, what happens, and how your energy will come. It is the science of our body, mind, and soul, our awareness, our consciousness, and being a human, the divine awakening of the Śakti or Kuṇḍalinī. There is a, we call them, lotus. And this lotus, till here, every chakra upon the humans, there is a lotus. And the lotus has its meaning, and that we will talk about. It has, how many petals does this chakra have? How many petals does the second one have, the third one, and so on? You have here, oh, there will be another chart. What you will learn about the Kuṇḍalinī: the kuṇḍ is a water tank, and there are three. So, one is you are filling. Second is coming automatically, and third, it comes from that same source, and so you take out energy, take and take, but all the time it was the same full, and that means the energy of the water tanker. The Kuṇḍalinī is filled in this part. It is long. We can make many, many things. So everything, now every petal, here has four petals. And these four directions, and this in the petal is, there is a, called that nectar. And here is Śakti. Śiva and Śakti are the Kuṇḍalinī going up. When the Kuṇḍalinī awakens, you have heard. Many people are wrong. When you are experiencing Kundalīni awakening, you don’t feel anything, but you feel happiness, joy, clarity. But some people are saying there is something moving in the body. Something is crawling on your spinal column or in the back of your dress. There is something. So, there is nothing. You do one thing: you go and clean your dress, wash your dress. That’s it. There is something. There is nothing, and nothing. And if something is moving in your spinal column, go to the doctor. There is no snake going up. So, it is an awakening of the pure consciousness. Happiness, joy, peace, clarity, everything. And so it has four petals. So one bīja mantra, it’s called the seed of this kuṇḍalinī, this mantra. And that is one that has its alphabet. And four petals have the four mantras, so they are the letters. Up in Sanskrit language, Sanskrit. And Sanskrit language, how many letters are there, or alphabet? Sanskrit? Huh? How many? No, no, no. Devanāgarī is also 52. Yeah, Devanāgrī is the alphabet, not Sanskrit or Hindi. Okay, no, it’s okay. We are very good. We are brothers. So these are 52 letters, and exactly these are in all these chakras. This is the methodology. It is written and given everything. And each letter has its resonance, and this resonance is something so divine, so divine. In 52 alphabets, resonance is balancing both hemispheres, very balanced. It is said the best language is that which occurs when both hemispheres are working together. And otherwise, only one part is active; the other is not. I did not measure anything, but one disciple, he is a scientist. Professor about languages, and he said there are three or four languages in the world which have the balance on both hemispheres. And what is that? When you sleep and dream, in the dream, both hemispheres are working. When you are singing, there is also balance. When you are writing, there is balance. Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā... Chakras in the whole body, and this is belonging. Chakras in your body belong to you. Certain chakras are dormant. That’s the problem. Who has the alcohol? Many things are disturbed. Consciousness is disturbed. We will work further. Prāṇāyāma is very good. Prāṇāyāma, Prāṇāyāma. Pranayama has different techniques. Not that tomorrow you begin to practice Vastrika. Is not. You should not go slowly, slowly. A little baby is born, and now you said, "Run." Yes, it can. I can let it run. Just born, but not humans. The cow baby, within a few minutes, will get up and walk to the mother or will run. Yes, but humans, it takes time to open the eyes. Mahāprabhujī kī jaya. Mahāprabhujī kī jaya. ... And one is that the thyroid problem, nowadays, a very big thyroid problem. And in these Kuṇḍalinī exercises, what we see and do, we can, according to the yogic science, please, I am not talking about a doctor, and I am not a doctor, but you can heal your body yourself. Thank you. Āditya.
