Meditation from Strilky

Meditation is the practice of turning inward within a supportive natural environment. Close your eyes, hold your mala, and repeat your personal mantra. Sit straight and relax the entire body. Bring awareness to the natural breath, feeling the pure air. Remember the past week of practice and the community of helpers who sustained the residence. Feel oneness with the forest. Collect all impressions from meditation and satsang. The truth is within; do not seek outside. You are the universe. Conclude by feeling the body and bowing to the earth.

"Feel oneness in this beautiful forest."

"Do not run anywhere outside; it is within thyself."

Close your eyes. Take your mālā in your hand and repeat your personal mantra. Relax your whole body. Be comfortable. Be relaxed, but sit straight. Sit straight upright. Feel thyself here in this beautiful āśram of ours, with very beautiful, many, many trees and beautiful greenery. It is very divine, very beautiful, and you are enjoying while getting the very pure, clean oxygen. Feel oneness in this beautiful forest. Feel your whole body from the toes to the top of the head and from the top of the head to the toes. Relax, relax, relax the whole body. Bring your awareness to your breath. Normal, natural breathing, but feel this beautiful air. Here, there is no pollution. You can feel in these last days of our seminar that your lungs were very relaxed and filled with very pure oxygen. Kāyā is terium. Kāyā is therium. The motion lays steady your body. Feel very pleasant, your skin. Feel the very pleasant air, the very fine, pleasant feeling of the air in your gentle, whole body and the whole breath inhalation. Your gentle skin is breathing this beautiful air here. You are comfortable. You are relaxed. You feel a very pleasant air. The oneness with our culture, nature. With your closed eyes, try to see this whole environment, vegetation, and trees. You can see with your inner eyes. We know, and we will always be in our memories, feelings, and visions of this beautiful, beautiful forest, our āśram, the castle, Mahāprabhū Dīp, Satsaṅg Foundation. You remember the past. And when we came from that day, on that day, what instruction did you get? And this whole week, seven, eight days—how do you feel? How did you feel, and how have you changed in which way in this one week? Be one with thyself. Be with thyself in this beautiful, beautiful place. Try to remember your teacher who was guiding you, kriyānusṭhāna, the yoga in the life teacher trainings. The practicing of yoga in daily life, the Karmayogīs in this large area of our castle, Mahāprabhū Dīp Satsaṅg Foundation. Karmayogīs, how many hundreds? Beautiful organic vegetable garden. Our garden sister, Jayā Devī, and her helpers, our beautiful brothers and sisters on the guards, on the doors. All the karmayogīs kept and tied our residence. And our cook, who was cooking, we called Mahāprasād. And you enjoyed the food because it is a prasāda. It is done with love, and all are helpers. Thank you. We had hundreds of karmayogīs who helped to keep and clean the entire castle. We had a cook who cooked us mahāprasād, and everyone liked it because it was mahāprasād, prasād prepared with love. Beautiful bell sound, it is beautiful. This bell brings the memories of the European clock. Different religions, different towers. Such a bell is only in Europe, not in other countries. Those who want to listen to or hear this kind of clock are coming to Europe; they are especially waiting for the time when the clock will be blowing. This clock shows us the beautiful culture, peace, wonders, and spirituality of Europe. These hours show us the spirituality, peace, unity, and beautiful culture of Europe. Relax. Awake in your awareness, it is the reality, the truth. This instruction of the meditation is called for our self. Feel the breath. I know that I inhale, and I know that I exhale. Relax. Relax. Remember how your feelings were, how they are feeling now, and how you will carry your memory until the next seminar here in Strelky. From the beginning day until today, collect your experiences during your meditations, bhajans, satsaṅgs, and all kīrtan programs. How do you feel? How did you feel? And how will you take, relax your mantra all the times, your personal mantra? Kāyā is terium, motionless body, nehybné telo, ātmā anubhūti, ātmā anubhūti. Now, turn towards your inner self, your ātmā anubhūti, to know thyself. Do not run anywhere outside; it is within thyself. Be within thyself. Kāya steryam ātmanubhūti. Your sādhanā. Your concentration, your body, your thoughts, and ātmanubhūti. Be one with thyself. You are the universe. Everything is within you. And now, for a while, collect all your beautiful impressions here in our āśram, the castle, nature, forest. Whenever you meditate, whether through prāṇāyāmas or your āsanas, or anything else, the memory will be in your pictures. Feel and become aware of your whole body. In this beautiful Araṇya, the forest. We chant OM three times, from the Nābhi till Sahasrāra. Asatthu masat gamaya śāstrī. Rub your palms. Place your hands on your face. Warm your face, and slowly bend forward. Touch your hands to the ground. Feel the circulation towards your head, your face muscles, your eyes, everything. And feel the bowing to this Mother Earth. And slowly come up. Om, om, om. Hari Om.
