Good evening. Welcome. We have done a lot of work on our body, mind, and soul. Now, young people – they think they are the best, and we also think they are the best. We love them, and they are healthy. But we should not neglect our elderly age. That is very, very important for us. So, I am preparing some programs and a book for elderly people. Would you like to know something? Yes. Okay. So, who is elderly now? Hands up. Yes, many don’t raise their hands up. Please, in our evening, we will have this program. So, one or two people should come with two chairs. Please bring one or two chairs and two persons. Are there no chairs? It is coming. It is coming. So, we have to enjoy. We shall enjoy our whole life. And we sail through yoga, in Yoga in Daily Life. We are developing and giving two things: the physical and the spiritual. So, one comes this side, chair. Now I will call some elderly people. Let’s say, look, the elder one is good. So you come, boy. Yes. Very good, yes. It’s very, very good. And one also, old Pane. And one more, older Paṇe. Yes. Now, my dear, those who are sitting on the benches or on the tables or chairs – you have to practice, and all will practice. So, should we do it? Because now we say in our program of Yoga in Daily Life, if you can give one class for the elderly people without money, and if you have a vehicle, you can bring them to our āśram. This is our joy, our happiness. And these old people are a blessing for us. They will give us blessings, and God will bless us. So, we shall help the people. Of course. Samozrejme. Young people can also come, those who have some body problems. And it is very, very easy. Good? So sit all good, straight. And those who are sitting up, that is good, very good. So, hands on the thighs. Sit on your chair straight. And now, Sarvahitāsan. Slowly bend your head. Touch your chin to your chest, and slowly look up and raise your head back, and try to see the ceiling. And again, see your knees, your stomach, and up. We do all five times, and five times to the back. So, one, and two, look up, and three, and four, go ahead, and up... If you have problems with the neck, you should not do it. If you have some problems with your neck or you are dizzy, go ahead and practice. And young people should also practice, so that you will also become healthy when old. So this is number one. Keep your head straight. Now, the head to the left. In the middle, and right side, slowly. With closed eyes or open eyes is okay. Slowly, slowly. It’s very, very good – a very good exercise for all, but especially for our aged people. Very good. Now, if you have a problem with your neck or something with your spine, then do not rotate your head. You should ask the person: have you had some operations or something with your bones? Then they should not do it. Otherwise, as we do, first look down. And then, rotating slowly... go ahead. And, of course, you should get permission from your doctor, or if you are getting dizzy. Very good. Yes, now we have our disposition. And we do this slowly, sitting on the chair or on the floor, but slowly, and you will feel it at home very, very good. And in the front, slowly, sit comfortably on the chair. You can sit on the sofa, but put the backside on a little back pillow. Very good. And then hands up. Go straight. And slowly try to bring your palms together. Many cannot; many can only like this. But one day they will do it and come back. And hands on the shoulders, and up. It’s very, very good. Now, you should have your long cloth or some rope. So, take your cloth, yes, and now with one foot hold it down, down, okay, straight, and slowly stretch your leg and try to lift it up as much as you can, with your hands like this. Try to get up, or higher up, remain there, and slowly come down, five times. You can also give these exercises at home to your grandmother or grandfather. The knee should be straight. Yes, good. Other leg. Up, up,... up. I know you are old, but you have to do it. Very good. Velmi dobre. Go ahead, five times. Pokračujte. OK, good. Now, again, using your cloth or similar, and bend your knee. Bring your knee to the stomach, to the body. And straight back. And now we stretch it out. One. One. And try to bend forward. Of course, you cannot touch your knee or your forehead or your nose. If you can, try to bring it as close as possible. Please remember these movements, what we did, what somebody is writing. Very good. Relax. Both legs, you did it, both legs, no? And then do the other also, please. And then it’s like before we stretched, yes, okay? So we keep it one after the other. Very good. The elderly people were doing the best. And the young generation, they were not very good. They have to learn more. Now, take some cloth like this. And bend left. No, but like this, hold here. Not like that. Hold here. Here, on this side. And then go down this side, and this side, slowly, slowly. Generally, they do this with one stick – or your walking stick. Very good, hands down. Good. Now again, hold here. And again. Now, at this height, and then twist yourself like this. Slowly. Slowly. And the other side. Go ahead. Continue. And if you have a problem with your spine, please consult with your doctor or physiotherapist. Go ahead. Very good. Now, holding this and... Now, place your hands on your thighs and try to lean as far as you can. Roll your body and slowly come up, then bend as far as you can while leaning on the chair. But your chair should be very stable, otherwise you will fall down. And roll back forward onto your thighs. Place your heels towards the chair, then raise your hands up, and slowly bend forward and try to touch your ankle joints. On your toes, legs not apart, straight, together, and slowly up. We can interlock the thumbs so that your hands don’t go like this in all days. And slowly down, and slowly up, and down, touch your leg, and up, and hands on the thighs. If you are dizzy or have a problem with your neck, then don’t bend too much. Now, interlock your fingers and head back to the side. And we bend as far as we can. And slowly up. Again, forward. And up. Hands down. Again. And again. And slowly bend, and up, and up, and relax. Again, with long fingers, and on the right side, and left side, and up, and up, and relax. And slowly bend, and up, and up, and relax. And slowly bend, and up, and relax. And slowly bend, and up, and relax. And slowly bend, and slowly bend... Other side, and other side. In the middle, hands down, relax. Now hold your chair, or hands on the chair. Try to twist to the left, and the other side, right, and the other side. Normal breath, twisting, exhalation, coming to the middle, inhalation, in the middle. For us, it’s very easy because we are all practitioners. But for other people who have not practiced, or who have not had training, we give them exercises only for their good health. We are not talking about religion, we do not speak about God, we just do good for your body and your mind. If someone asks you about something spiritual, you can tell us something. So for one day, you have only three to five movements. And within this, about 40 minutes. So, do it slowly, relax. Again, and relax. Now, further. Hands up. And I think we did it. Go and touch your feet. And again, and down. Those who are very beginners, older, or have too much weight, they can only do like this. It takes time. It will come in one month. You will see this person’s health, relaxation, and happiness. So this is about one hour, one hour fifteen minutes. We will continue other exercises with this. And we shall now do this once a week for the elderly people. And then also comes prāṇāyāma. So you have to use a stick or something similar. And for about two minutes, constantly breathe through the left nostril. And then rest. Or five minutes, and then a little rest, and five minutes. Five minutes left nostril, then rest. And with the right nostril, and then rest. And after this, ten minutes or so, learn to inhale long, just inhale and exhale: inhale, exhale, inhale, and exhale. After five minutes, with closed eyes, give a relaxation. On the chair, hands are on the thighs, completely relaxed. Inhale, exhale, relax the body, feel yourself comfortable. This is about 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and then after, ask if they feel any discomfort. Or something we can change. That’s all. And so we will have a program, and we will have a nice booklet or something like that. Sitting on the chair or on the sofa. And if you can lie down, then again, you are capable of standing up. This is the difference. But if they can stand up from the chair and lie down, we can give them a kind of yoga nidrā. So, also prāṇāyāma, the movements, the relaxations. Because, I don’t know, someone told me that when Swāmījī is speaking, before and after, we should not act like this. That’s not good. We should give the feedback. Otherwise, you’re sitting. Oh God! So, we have to give the name of this book. I will think of some. Old to young. Good idea? No? Yes. Old to young, my God, that would be really... So there will be many, many people. There will be recovery again, everything. And also, we have to give some diet. If they want, we will put them on a diet. It will be good. So, now you will think it over before going to sleep. And tomorrow, again, we will continue something. So, we go ahead throughout the whole world. Because we have Yoga in Daily Life in many, many, many countries. In China, we have three centers. And people like yoga very, very much in daily life. So in many, many countries, we have to give motivation to the people. And then, the second thing: nowadays, I think I spoke about it yesterday or not, but people become lonely – they become very lonely. They have no motivation, and so when they come to our yoga classes, they will be with each other; they will speak. And so we shall make a nice life for our elderly, what we call the parents. All are our parents. If there is one woman who is old, with no children and nobody there, we shall feel she is like our mother, like our grandmother. So we will also ask them to make something for their countries – some song, singing something. We will do something. We will make something. So, from the old to the young, we can. Have you any questions or any ideas? They are happy, and they are coming to our classes for seniors, so it’s really a perfect idea. Of course, you can have it not only in the evening. We have to do it during the daytime, before noon. The best is from 10 to 11:30. Yes, we can do this on Sunday. Any day, we have a yoga teacher, and we should dedicate to them. Śrī Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī, Devādideva Deveśvara Mahādeva Kī. So you see, we make from old to young. Look at this boy, so quickly. So there is one, our Gurudev, our Gurujī, Mādhāvanājī. Gurujīho, Madhavānandajīho, he has written so many beautiful, beautiful bhajans, etc. And you know that there is what we call the God Hanumān. Those who do not know this, we call monkey God. Hanumān, Hanumān, Monkey God, Hanumān, Monkey God. Only one, don’t know one, two. Oh my God. Okay. That is a great story. It is not a monkey. He was in the mountains, and it is a very great story, holy, very holy. And he was the God Rāma’s disciple, very strong. Hanumān was a student of Śrī Rāma, a very strong student. Similarly, our Gurudeva has written one glory of Gurudeva. Like we have this Jyotase Jyot Sathagot. So this was the other, the glory, and now we have called Satguru Chālīsā, like Hanumān Chālīsā. Chālīs means forty, and glory. So, Satguru Chālīsā, the glory of the Gurudev, the forty glories where there are blessings and many things. Vipar, vana, kī jaya, Śrī Alakhpurījī, Mahādeva, kī jaya, Śrī Devpurījī, Mahādeva, kī jaya, Śrī Mādhav Kṛṣṇa, Bhagavān, kī jaya, Viśvaguru, Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara, Paramaśiśvāmī, Maheśvarānandajī, Guru, Deva, kī jaya. And it is very nicely translated into English. And it is a very, very good English. So many can’t understand, so we shall make it a little bit soft. But it will be very nice. Thank you. Well, there is a question about skin problems in children. Or elderly people, or old people – old and elderly are different, and young people also. For all, there is a really, really best remedy, and that is called neem in India. We have neem powder here, and you should put one spoon, or however much you need if you have some skin problems, into a little cold water. Let it soak the whole night, and then apply it on the skin. No, any badness? So wet, it will dry. And when it dries, it falls down. It’s okay. Number one. Number two, use neem soap. Use the neem soap; it’s very, very good for the skin. And if there are more problems, then you should get it from the neem tree’s bark, from the stem. Many people are bringing and using it, and it is very, very good. So you have to powder it very much and put it in cold water – meaning normal temperature – make it like a paste, and then put that on the skin. It’s really, really the best for the skin. And it’s not only for the skin; it works in the blood. And so it goes into the blood, into the skin. And taking it every day – for a child, half a capsule of the powder, only for one or two weeks. Then again, stop. Don’t take the capsule for longer. That’s very, very, very good. This is... really, it helped many people. It is a specialty in our whole world. The Yoga in Daily Life is complete. Many do not follow the spiritual teachings of the great sages, and they may have impurities. Now, yoga has become worldwide, but many have no knowledge about yoga. Only asanas and prānāyāma, and that’s nothing. So we have to come to the roots of yoga. And that is within you. Yesterday I spoke very much. So, that is: you are the king of the country. And that is all – all creatures and everything within this country, your country, any country. It is your people, your creatures, including all the trees, vegetation; everything is within us. You are the king of your country, but don’t be the slave of it. And if you are the slave of them, then you will be lost. Because there are also the negatives inside. They are attacking us all the time. So in our body we have illness and we have healthiness, and see how our illness attacks us – sometimes they are so strong that they will try to kill you or destroy you. It will take you out of it, so this is our kingdom. And in this kingdom, you have all that is yours, but you are the height. And that is our ātmā, soul. So also, yesterday we had a prayer, and we sang a little bit yesterday: Sakala jaga ke chāntra jāmī, charāchara kī ātmā prabho, charāchara kī.
