Śrī Dev, Deveśvar Mahādev, Kī Jai, Indra, Dharma, Samrāṭ, Satguru, Swāmījī, Mahātmā, Nandājī, Bhagavān, Kī Jai, Sanātana Dharma, Kī Jai. This morning you had nice yoga classes. Did you also practice āsanas? Which kind of āsanas did you practice this morning? Very good. Thank you. You have been practicing many times, many years under our Yoga in Daily Life system. So you know all these āsanas. You also know the effects of those postures, and you have been using them for a long time. But we should not forget that it should be systematic. You can do those postures you like very much, but we should always go in. “Go in” means go through our yoga book. There are many postures inside, so we also make some different postures in between, but it should be on that path. Our book is very systematically given: the name of the āsana, what is good and what is not, for what, how long we should practice, and how we have to practice. We have given very nicely when we should inhale and when we should exhale. This is very important. But if we are doing it slowly, then we shall continue the breathing. For example, we practice Dhanurāsana and we remain for a while. Then we can breathe in and out. Then we are practicing longer, staying longer, but then we have fewer postures because we also have other duties—many things we have to do. Humans are completely full of different activities. Animals, like deer and rabbits, where they are sitting or sleeping, they just get up and go away. We have many things to do because we should be active. Otherwise, humans will become lazy and do nothing. Again, the mind will not be active. But ati sarvatte varjante hi—too much is not good. And we have too much. Now, many people are at home with no job, and money doesn’t come; we have to work. We must work, so we have many responsibilities. All pots and cleaning are not to be done by me—we are relaxed. And again, exercises. The master is there. Je tu mistr. So, this is the 24 hours. Your rooms will be cleaned, the bed nicely cleaned, so in that way we are comfortable. But we want to do and learn how to proceed further. In this way, we have to know the differences between animals and humans. So, for that one week, or two weeks, or three days that we come here for yoga practice, we should really take the energy and practice. And so we have been practicing systematically. When I first came to Europe, I was there, and there were yoga classes. At that time, there was no system, so I also did not understand what to do. Anyone could come any day for yoga class. Very new ones, who don’t know what headstand is, try to stand up and lift their legs up. They say, “My God, my neck will be broken.” So the advanced practitioners don’t come anymore because at the same time I was repeating, and other people were coming who had not practiced. It was not very good. And so they asked, “We don’t have, Swamiji, we don’t have a system in yoga in India.” I said, we have a very great system. That is a very good system. You can do everything. The good system is there, but people don’t concentrate and don’t come. They come to yoga class whenever they want, and when they come, they practice as they like. Yet, there are very beautiful, very good yoga schools in India. They are 200 years old, maybe 300 years old, but there are limited people. So I said, I will give you the system. And I had many yoga exercises from different places in Gujarat, a very nice school. I was practicing in Rajasthan, in Jaipur; at that time we didn’t have the Jaipur Ashram, and with Gurujī, Gurujī was practicing āsanas every day, but not systematically. And so we made it from primary school all the way to university. And so we have our yoga system. And now, many people are adopting the system. And many people were making, what to make yoga? So everybody gives the name yoga, their names. Why not? But many did not have complete yogic science. Either people were practicing immediately on the body—body, body trainings. Or, all important, in Europe, they make their business. And many people made their schools and then again finished. Very rare masters are in Europe. In Europe, there are many masters who have been here for a long time. Have you been here for a long time? Who have been here for a long time? And what is the difference? What does this name mean? Why don’t we say only yoga? We are giving a name. And we know that we are working in this name, so our yoga in daily life. Yoga is yoga, daily life, every day. Yoga in daily life, so there is nothing else than this practice every day for our body. That’s all. There are no miracles. There are no words for the science and things. I was in this land, and there we were working out everything, how to put together our system. I’m telling you this because you are all practitioners here. And we are connecting throughout the whole world. So, for example, this was a long time. I stayed about one year or a little more in London. And then another part there. And then I came to Europe, and it was nice. I began to learn to see that, yes, this is how European people are doing yoga. I learned, I observed how Europeans work with yoga, how they do yoga. Yoga schools, yoga practicing, yoga masters in Western countries or outside of India, I would say, many, many times, 300 years. Or maybe many years. So, it is not that only we have been practicing yoga for so long. There were many, many great, great persons. So we cannot, and I would not tell anyone, nor would I say to myself, that I did good yoga, and I do practice good yoga. But it is like this: we would like to give our name. And this name means not because of our yoga, we make a new name for yoga. All Śīrṣāsana, Sarvāṅgāsana, Dhanurāsana, this is for all schools the same. But we and many others are also making very systematic yoga classes. Now, many people are commercial, but we are not commercial. We are for your health, be friend. We are oneness. We always feel each other like brothers and sisters, friends. So you see how we are more humble, kind. We are the most humble, the most kind-hearted. And your yoga teaches people anywhere in the world. They say, “Oh, hello, how are you?” Many, many. They meet, they go, let’s go for tea or this and that. We will meet in the evening, we will make a prayer, everything. Only two people, one somewhere who has not seen our people for three years. In other countries, long countries. And when another one comes from Europe to America, for example, I see my disciples, that they run to each other and, how do you say, embrace, you know? And suddenly they said, “Hari Om.” Yes, our one say is Hari Om. So, how are we also friends with some different peoples? For example, our Czechoslovakians, then these Hungarians, and these many. And they went to London. They went to London, and they were searching, “Where is yoga in our life?” I said, still they are not. But I have my bhaktas, disciples, Indians. So in London, we have one disciple of Holy Gurujī. In London, there is one Holī Guru Jīho Jha, and whenever I go, I was in their house a long time, beginning in 1970, and so my people from here, they are still there and here. In that house, they went for some work from here, or some factory or something like this, or for some conferences, but they were searching, “Where is Yogananda Lab, Swamiji’s Bhakta?” And they were coming, and they did not understand the Czech language. And they did not understand English, or they did not understand them. But in that house where they went, people welcomed them so much. And they sit there. Immediately they see the pictures of Mahāprabhujī. Our people from here went to bring them fruits and flowers. And they were taking them like family members, and they were giving nice chai, giving food. Then they said, “We make prayer.” Our Czech bhaktas were doing prayer. And these were more Indians from Africa. And there were more Indians from Africa. They went from India to Africa. And then they came to Britain, New Zealand, Fiji, and everywhere. So there is still a very deep connection. And there was one elderly woman, and she was great, but she could not understand English, and she did not go to school, she did not know how to write, and they were in Africa. And when people came, she could not speak any word in English or Czech. But they all were talking with hands and mouth. And that is why we all call her mother, Mātājī. And when her son and grandsons studied English, they wanted to tell someone the telephone number, and they did not know where the number was. Yes, it is not a joke. Who learned English and everything until university? But they have a carnet of letters, or on the telephone, the number. And at that time, these telephones were not like that. So in that, there was no telephone number. So they were writing. But they didn’t find the booklet where all the numbers were. It is true. And Hanumān Purī, now he is in London, and also someone, he must be here, someone. So they asked her, and at that time she was about 78. And they said, “Grandmother, please, can you tell the number of 5, 6, 8, 9, and 3 times 1, 1.” Exactly, she said, “Again, please, again,” she said again. So her memory, everything—the name of that person, the street of the person, the address, the number of the person—and now we, we have the best and best of the telephones. If we are lost, we are lost. When I came from New Zealand, I came to Singapore, and now, in Singapore, we have to separate. If you are Indian, go to India, and if you are Austrian, go to Austria. And who is in Czech? Paris and her mother? In Czech, so all have to go on different aeroplanes. I had my luggage and many things. I was alone. Otherwise, always, I am, how to say, one word I want to say. And this word I will tell you. The Mānasa Devī, Agni Devī, Umā Purī, Dr. Shanti, and these people are all with me. And they spoiled me, and spoiled in such a way that I forget my numbers. I have forgotten how to write, because all they make, they make it like this, only signature. So I came to India, and I came to Mumbai, and they gave me some paper to fill out for the hostages on the aeroplane, so they were very nice. And I was in the business class. The aeroplane is very big, and there were about 50 seats there. There were only three people inside. So they said, “Swamiji, any seat is for you.” And they were all nice. But they were all a little distant. So there were four people in this cabin. And they said, “Okay, we will fill it out, Swāmījī, don’t worry.” I didn’t ask them, but they did it. So I remember, this is like Mānāsa Devī and Umāpurī. They fill everything, and I have to make a signature. And now that hostess, this girl, she said, “Gurujī, please write your telephone number from India.” Gurujī, write down your telephone number here in India. I said, OK. But I’m looking, I don’t know which number. Really, and she was thinking, “I am really not normal.” So I said, “Don’t worry.” She said, “No, you have to write what you must.” I said, “OK, I will do.” I have five numbers in Delhi, in Delhi, or in India, and I don’t know any numbers. I have been in Vienna, they don’t know. In my telephone, I didn’t find it. I know the number of other people’s, but not mine. I said, “Don’t worry, I will do it.” Then, at the last minute, something came to my mind. Agni Devī is in Jadān Āśram, so I write her number. Indian, because it’s my own number. So, my God, thank you. I gave her number. And I asked, “Will they ask if it is really my number?” Then I said, “Of course, you don’t know my ashram, how big it is, how many people are there—like about 300 people.” Now there are about 300 people there, and everyone has their phone number. So I can take any number; it’s my number. You can ring it, it will go to my ashram. And who will the person say yes to? I will say, give my number, please. So I made up my mind like this, what I will do, some idea. Everything went, and now they came. I did not know. We did not have that. At that time, we did not have that instrument. It was the first instrument in India. When I was in Singapore, I was not there. In New Zealand, there was nothing. And when I came, Swamiji said, “Wait.” And one said, “I will show you if you are positive or negative.” I said, I am a positive person. So he was a little instrument, like a suit for someone. Now you know this, yes? So I said, “Here, can he come?” At that time, I was a little bit. He looked, and then he said, “You are negative.” Please, Swamiji, go this side. And then, further, of course, the government and the police came, took my luggage, and took care of me. So, what I want to tell is, how is the friendliness in other countries and everywhere? That is very, very good. So we, Yoga in Daily Life people, we do care about all. Sometimes one is talking differently. Those who are very close to me, you know, you should be careful, because they always take it like it’s God. I’m sitting, some are close to me, others come, and they say, “Why, Swāmījī?” I say, because they said I was meditating. Anyhow, we are great, and we are brothers and sisters. We are bhaktas, we are yogīs, we are from many, many countries, we are oneness. This is the life of a yogī. Everything, so we, each other, we should help everyone. Explain to them differently, certain kinds of postures. And come for prayers, this, that, everything. And step by step we have till the Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna. And that needs more knowledge. And then, you know about the best book, how many thousands of times books were published. And do you know what quality literature we have? How many times have our books been published? Humans, Hidden Powers Book, chakras, and everything. And so, clear, very clear. So you should read this book. And the hidden powers in? Many, many times in India, people come in, and there are officers and ministers, and so they say, “Swāmījī, your book have?” I said, “Yes.” And they take the book and they go. And they know many times on their table, in their office, this book is there. So they always ask, “Swamiji, do you have a book?” And I say, “Yes, I give them to them.” And then I see that they have it on the table, that they really have it there. And we have it in how many languages? Now they have it also in the Chinese language, and it’s my book. And they ask, “Please, can you tell what is in the book?” I say, Hing Hang Hing Kong Yi Hang. I say, Hing Hang Hing Kong Yi Hang. He Kevalam He Kevalam... What I want to tell you is that we have three books, very, very nice. The first is our Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī’s book, Amṛt, Līlā Amṛt. So this is our holy book, like, by the way, by the way, by the way. So, read one, and we have very little pages always. We shall read. Second, when you go to practice yoga in your house, this book should be beside you. Sometimes it comes to your mind, what can I do? Or suddenly we say, what is that? So, books should be there in your practicing place. And also, when you go anywhere, take it with you. And then, know more about it, more about our kuṇḍalinī and our bodies and everything. Many, many things are inside. We should read this every day, one chapter. So these three books we must be. And then after this, yoga in daily life, all bhaktas have in their books their bhajans. And bhajan is the best learning to know in our body what I will do in my life. What should I practice? I read so many books. Now, many people don’t learn from books. Then they go to Akbar and the newspaper, and the newspaper and the newspaper. And now it comes to Facebook. So, it’s less and less and... finished, that is all. So, therefore, we have to get the knowledge and read maybe ten minutes. And sometimes that knowledge will come again, and you will say, “Oh yes, that one.” So it’s not only postures, āsanas, and prāṇāyāmas. And do not say that I am great and this and that. And that’s why our Yoga in Daily Life, and there are so many languages, mostly we are in Europe, but also in many places, like Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and Mexico, wherever you go, you will see how you can incorporate yoga into daily life. And so today, you know, I told you this night, our time, our time was about midnight, about one o’clock, one, one and a half. That time was Mahāprabhujī, Devpurījī’s samādhi, which means he gave up his body. We have a time difference of three and a half days of the month. And before it was four and thirty, four and a half, but now you are making every day lap, dine, dap, dine, dap... Dine, this tree is also confused, the people, because all birds are confused, and birds disappear, and when the animals, the birds, they may confuse the trees, and all the animals in the forest, and cows, milk, everything, everything. I hope that sooner or later, when this corona is gone, so practice, practice, practice as you can, but not laziness. That’s very important. When you say, “Okay, ask, today I can do too.” Today I will not practice because I’m very busy. Tomorrow will be, oh, my friend is going with me. Third day, I’m tired. Fourth day, should I practice or not? I want to eat breakfast peacefully, then I will do. After five days, we are lost, so we should practice. If not complete one hour or two hours, at least make your Agnisāra Kriyā. Then your Anuloma Viloma, then Kapālabhāti and Bāḍīkhāṭu Prāṇam. This should never be forgotten. Did you practice today? Your teacher did not teach you? Oh God! Then it’s not good. Then sit in Vajrāsana? Yes. Bāḍīkhāṭu Praṇām, Bāḍīkhāṭu Praṇām. Kitnā Pyār Lage Hai, Yeh To Mere Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī Kā. Is Jaisā Koī Kahināī Mahāpuruṣ Kī Khāḍū? Come on, come on, chal, chal, chal. Pojme, pojme, pojke. Ok, Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavānakī. So, who will give instructions? One, two, three, like. But not so quickly, one, two, three, no. Give a little time. Slowly, okay? Pomalu. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavānakī, make hands together, make praṇām, Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī. Mentally say, “Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī, please bless me with good health, peace, and harmony. Grant me harmony and understanding in my family.” Please, and bless me towards liberation. Mahāprabhujī, please, take me in your paramparā. Thank you. Very nice. Thank you for... Now we have our time for something. Nice water, nice coffee, nice tea. We are thinking of Devpurījī Bhagavān. On His name, we are making this Guru Pūrṇimā of Śrī Devpurījī, Śrī Devpurījī, samādhi. So, Guru Pūrṇimā, we couldn’t go further, but this time we will go overall. Thank you.
