Nada yoga - in practice

The burden of this life is surrendered to the divine. All virtues and faults are offered up. One finds refuge by renouncing worldly form and time. The human body is obtained in a dream world, and one wanders through countless cycles of existence due to ignorance and ego, failing to distinguish illusion from reality. The real husband, the incarnation of supreme knowledge, is not found. In the true Guru, one merges effortlessly and attains the beloved. The worship of the one-pointed devotee is established in the divine. Practice involves sitting in meditation, feeling the whole body, and observing the breath with deep inhalation and exhalation. Withdraw from the external world to the inner being. Repeat your given mantra. Knowledge, such as that of the Vedas, is a separate subject requiring decades to learn, leading to pure spiritual being. Yet all scriptural paths ultimately point to one truth. When the body is gone, only the name of God remains.

"For so many days I have been roaming around aimlessly, like a young girl."

"In Śrīdev Purījī, I found my Gurudev. Without any effort, I merged in him."

Satguru Swāmī Mahātma Jī Mahārāj Kī Jai! Viśvagurū Mahāmanaleśvara Svāmī Maheśvarān Jī Mahārāja Kī Jai! Now, I have placed the entire burden of this life into your hands... Victory is in your hands. I have now entrusted the entire burden of this life into your hands. I have now entrusted the entire burden of this life into your hands. O beloved, it is in your hands. I offer my devotion, O Lord, unto you. All virtues are absorbed in the Divine. All my virtues and faults, I surrender unto you. So, the worship of the one-pointed devotee is established in you... Now, I have placed the entire burden of this life upon your soul. Whenever one renounces the worldly form and time, one finds refuge in your soul. Pushpa, you were singing a bhajan yesterday, so they would like to have a translation and then to sing. First, give the translation, explain what it is, and then you will sing your bhajan again, okay? Okay, Swamijī. Thank you. The translation of the bhajan by Gaṇadīna Bhatṭakire. For so many days I have been roaming around aimlessly, like a young girl. I was wandering through the 8.4 million cycles of existence and could not find my husband. I was without my beloved, yet they called me a married woman. And I was living without any shame. I was living shamelessly in my heart. Shame on me, how ashamed of myself I am. Unnecessarily, I performed many bad karmas, many senseless karmas. I obtained this human body in a dream world and was roaming like a deer in a forest. I lost this human body many times, and many kalpas passed. I wandered through many kalpas with the wrong husband, making a buck-buck noise like a young dog, like a small puppy. Due to my ignorance and ego, I could not distinguish between illusion and reality. And I could not distinguish Brahma and the true nature of Brahma. I was roaming and blabbering like a child. I did not find my real husband, who is the incarnation of Brahmajñāna. In Śrīdev Purījī, I found my Gurudev. Without any effort, I merged in him, and I merged continuously with my beloved one. With one look at his divine form, Mahāprabhujī attained her husband. Karna din bhatt kire main kanya kuwari naar, Lakcho rashi mein fire bhattakati Naipaya Bhartar.

Ask the question to our dear Pushpa. Good, all right, very good. Then we will all do today Nadi yoga. Sit all in your meditation posture. The best would be if you can long stay in the vajrāsana, but not moving again back in that. It will be maybe half an hour, or one hour, or two hours. Sit in comfortable meditation. Feel your whole body from your toes to the top of the head, and from the top of the head to the toes. Remember your whole day’s activities from the beginning, morning, till now, whatever you were doing. Become aware, relax, be one with thyself. Slowly, slowly withdraw thyself from the external world to your whole being within thyself. Everybody repeat your own mantra, which is given to you by Holy Gurujī, our Satguru Swami Mādhavānandajī Bhagavān. Or, through our Holy Gurujī, he gives mantra to me to give you the mantras. Feel your whole body. Feel your whole body. Feel each and every limb of the body. Remember your vibration of your foot soles, ankle joints. Feel your calf muscles. Feel the whole trunk of the body. What does the whole middle part of the body mean for you? All the organs, the blood circulation. And now, feel your breath from the abdomen. Expand your abdomen while inhaling, and slowly exhale. Be yourself, and now inhale as usual through the nose, but a little longer. Breath. Keep your chin more towards your chest, and inhale and exhale a little longer than normal breath. Go ahead, in going and out coming breath through the vocal cord, inhale deep down, and exhale from the abdomen slowly through the nostrils, but your chin is towards your chest. Touch your breath through your tongue. Inhale and exhale deeply. Deep breath in deep sleep, the best, the best relax and repair. Any kind of inner technologies with the breath in this way: inhale and exhale. So we are to hear the sound of the breath. And slightly raise your hand up. Slightly look up to the ceiling. These are beautiful from the grace. From this grace, this grass is a beautiful meditation hall. And eyes are closed. Inhale with sound. And exhale. Concentrate or target on that point where your breath will come and touch inhalation and exhalation silently. Not too loud, not too long, neither too quick. Observe your breath through the whole trunk of the body, from the nostrils down to the navel, and inhale. And exhale. We are inhaling with both nostrils, and we exhale through both nostrils, and now. Now, bring your head straight, normal breath, eyes are closed, and block your—bring your hands near your ears, and hold in the fingers and on the head, and your ear, only from inside sound, not outside. Inhale. It will be only in your ears and near your vocal cords, also like this. There are many techniques of this technique of the sound, which can also be like a bee, like the bees. You shall take a deep breath and also slowly breathe out long. Plug your ears and hear the sound within ten times. But you have to, with your palm, the whole palm, that is, like this. And hand, back side of the head, like this. Already 5, 7, 8, 9, 10. Keep your head straight and block your ears. Elbows sidewards. Bṛmhī. Place your hands on your left thumb and index finger together, three fingers separate, elbows. Relax shoulders. Relax. Relax. Your mantra repeating. Be with thyself. Be relaxed. Be relaxed. Feel. Be aware. See within your whole body, not only from the outside of your skin, but within the skin, muscles, bones, and organs, everything, your body, your body. Oh, from the navel to anāhata-viśuddhi, ājñā, bindu, and sahasrāra. Sha, sha, sha. Fold your hands. Na karta Prabhu, deep karta Mahāprabhujī. Deep karta hī keval śānti, śānti... So there is one question about the alphabet, and Gurujī has written very nicely, Kākā Bhaṭṭīsī. And it is the alphabet, every letter holy. Gurujī made one nice, like a poem, so that we will give it to you in writing also. And if I were to do the whole thing, it would take a long time, but we will do that also. These are the... Kaka, Kaka, Guruji Bhatt said everything very nice, perfect. Wish you all the best, have a nice time, practice your mantra. Many questions are coming about health, and we know everyone we are searching first for good health, and after that we... are searching for our further life? There are many things, so but finally, it is different, and that’s coming to the Brahma-loka. It is like this: that every master, every guru, every paramparā is the one. For example, there is what we call the... Bhagavad-gītā, so Bhagavad-gītā, you have not created, but you may give some glimpse, but you are not the Bhagavad-gītā who created. Similarly, the Rāmāyaṇa: many, many millions and millions of people were reading it and giving very nice lectures and this and that, but you are not the, what we call, the writer or the one who made this. Also, the Vedas, many are writing the Vedas, and many people are with the Sanskrit language, and they are making something new inside. The Vedas, very few people know that. And what they do, and others, we don’t know. What will they talk? This way or that way, or one mantra or that mantra. They will say Vedic mantras and so on. We don’t know, also we have our body. We have the body, but we don’t know what is inside our body. And so there is a doctor, the surgeon, operating inside the body, and he will tell. Maybe the doctor did not know what it should be, but... He will tell something, so also the Vedas are written, but many things are changed a little bit. But great are those who know that, who will read the Vedas and this. How many years are you only chanting? Morning, get up at 3 o’clock, 4 o’clock in the morning, and by 4:30 the students are sitting there, and they are chanting only the Vedas and mantras. All children are sitting with their fingers like this, hand and this and that, and they are chanting. And then the students will tell the teacher, they say, "Gurujī, Gurujī is a teacher, teacher is a Gurujī," or something like this, a school teacher. And I was there in one school, and there I was sent. There were Prem Avatāpurī, and I told, "What did it teach you about Vedas?" "That I don’t know." Nearly one year there, and he doesn’t know. I said, "What? Tell one sentence." There is no sentence, but you should tell me one word of this that the teacher said, also that he doesn’t know. After this, two years or three years, then they will tell the other teacher, and they will do this and that, and then they are talking about what they should end, no? So then they learn the alphabet, not alphabet grammars, and then. Third one comes about grammar, and then they will say, "Aha, it is like this." So, it is very difficult to know, to learn the Vedas. They are doing Sanskrit. They are learning. Many people, something from the Sanskrit, they are telling something. Now we are sitting there, and one is talking in Sanskrit, and the Vedas said this and that. Because we don’t know, we say, "Uh-huh, yes," and so on. Some people put something in this, and others like that. But that one who has learned, then he can see, "Yes, this is this," and... That and that... But after when they come, then they are very great. So it takes about, at least, let us say, 15 to 25 years to learn your Vedas. And then, this is what you know me, I only learned one Veda, but there were four. I don’t know, but because it took me 25 years, so knowledge is very... Far, but that is a very clean memory’s knowledge, and the whole being of the human is very spiritual, pure. That’s called vidyā. What we are learning here, this is different. Until the university, there is also the different. This is another subject. This is another subject also, like what we call the heart of now. We have the yoga, and these are what we call the bhakti yoga, jñāna yoga, and rāja yoga. Karma yoga and all is your karma. It’s your karma. Your karma is your karma yoga also. So we have to search within from this. So that Gurujī all also by one letter by letter made little, like a poem, like a poetry. It’s like this, Kākā. You know what that is? Yes. Yes. I knew by heart, and in present time I only know this. So, Kākā, tomorrow or day after tomorrow we will teach you definitely. But Vedas, if you want, in Rajasthan there is very rare. There are more in South India, and in the schools and the universities, but they are also not. You can go there, but it is nothing. Go there, and what is there? How is it learned? It is not easy. The student will next day go home and say, "Father, Father, I don’t want to go there." Early morning, I’m sitting, and no water, no milk, and nothing. And early morning, very cold and cold water, sour, and then one cloth of oxygen. But mantra, what do you say? Say it, say it. So, all day, only this. It means that you chew your chewing gum nicely, you know. So, all the whole day they are chewing in your mouth. That is, but then it is very good. So, it is like that is coming, the real what human is. Or, very nicely, who is doing in the Islām? The Muslims have this holy book, which they call their Quran. And from very little children, learning all girls and boys very, very nicely, they are reading. So they are reading, we are reading like this, and they are reading like that. They are going this way, and they are all there. Their letters are... completely different. We don’t know. Letters are many, many different. Chinese, different, other, different, many, many letters, of course. So, do we have this kind of number where our alphabet? Joanne, can Adam it go? They’ve no Greek, and then the English Latin, so the Latin and this, this, and there are the languages. It is a good language. But these two, the Latin and the... Latin is a Greek. So, but they don’t learn now, only for the writing letters and this and that, that’s all. But the Muslims, they are very clear and exact, and they are all the time the children, from the evening, morning, and midday, they are learning. That’s what they call their little children in school. What do they call them? No, no, no. Mama or something. Madrasa. Mother is a mother? Madrasa. So, anyhow, everywhere, so that they who can learn, then they know so much in their brain, they don’t know anything else. They will learn also. Many are learning the Vedas. In Jaipur, there is the head of the Muslims, and he knows the whole Vedas. He learned many, many things. Why not? That’s it. So knowledge is knowledge, but finally it will be one. When we are gone, then it comes. When you will come to the grave, that is then finished. Only truth is named God Rāma. And finally, it’s got where it will be burned, your body, then it’s nothing. Rām nām sat hai, nām liyā gat hai. Nāma japa means now saying the name of God; it means mantra. And everyone, this religion also has its mantras. Yes, they have nice ones. But now, in these low centuries, there are people learning all the computers and this and that. Hari Om. All the best. Have a nice time. Good night. Good morning. Good evening. Hari Om, tomorrow also.
