The Yogic Science of Kundalini

A spiritual discourse and meditation session led by a teacher, weaving prayer, scriptural commentary, and practical teachings.

"Read your holy book. And in your book, immense, immense knowledge. Nobody can give you this knowledge."

"Without concentration, you will not get it... Without Gurudeva, you will not come out. The knowledge without a Guru is not."

The teacher begins with a guided meditation and prayers for world peace, then instructs the group to read their own "inner scripture"—the body and its five sheaths (kośas). He discusses spiritual knowledge (vidyā), the symbolism of deities like Sarasvatī, and the importance of concentration (lagan) in all activities. The talk covers the role of the guru, the challenges of Kali Yuga, and concludes with a promise to continue teachings on a holy text about Alakpurījī.

Let us try to sit in a meditation posture. Fold your hands. Bring your concentration towards your inner self—for our body, our breath, our understanding, and for our yoga practice, which is directed towards our Gurudev. It is our holy Gurujī, Mahāprabhujī, Devpurījī, Halakpurījī. We adore, and we are asking, please, for peace and harmony for the whole world, for all creatures, all the vegetation, the pure water, all the birds, and so on. Be merciful. From my heart, I ask you: for my physical body, my mind, my mental being, for all my three lokas—this world, the next world in the universe, and the whole cosmos—within myself, within my heart, peace, peace, peace. We will chant from the depths of our heart, imagining our Gurudev, all together, with open eyes: OM NAMO ŚRĪ PRABHUDDHI. Om Namaḥ Śrī Prabhu Dīpanārāya. Om Namah Śrī Prabhupāda. Om Namah Śrī Prabhupāda. In these, our mantras to Bhagavān Śaṅkara: Om Tryambakaṁ Yajāmahe Sugandhiṁ Puṣṭivardhanam. Ūrvarukam iva bandhanāt mṛtyormukhāt sirmāmṛtā. Oṃ tryambakaṃ yajāmahe sugandhiṃ puṣṭivardhanam. We make praṇām. Zdravíme. Hari Om. With this prayer, with this respect, and with all our inner self, we pray to all our paramparās. You know that everyone, many, many great saints and all incarnations and other incarnations. All will know twenty-three incarnations. And now, the fourth incarnation, and that at the end of this Kali Yuga, it will come again to the holy divine world. But still, there will be many, many difficulties. But we, all around the whole world, many great, great, great people like you all, are praying according to their God. They pray according to such a God as they call Him. And all are within ourselves. Miliony a miliardy velkých svědců svědce nepoznáte, but we are very normal. We have families, children, husband, wife; there is no problem. But we have to have the qualities: humbleness, kindness, no anger, and no feeling that I am proud; then we are lost, both sides. So in these four days, and in these four days, you were made a lot and a lot of purification in your inner self. You came on Sunday, and today is already Wednesday. And now we have two days more. Let us look inside ourselves. Don't look outside. For us, we need not look to do something. Our vegetation, our forests, they are doing for us more than we could think. Pro nás dělají víc, než si myslíme. Myslím, že jste se tady už rozhlíželi dostatečně, i jste slyšeli, že to, co je kolem, je taky život. Víme, že existují mnohá písma, and many out of the literature we are talking, speaking also holy scriptures, the holy books, and they are also for giving, giving us; it is for us, and this is one part. And the other is that part which you have now, what I'm teaching you. So it is speaking out of the scriptures. Definitely, it is the best, very, very good, and that we should read. And we should keep it nicely, but still, it is surface. But how are we coming inside? It is your body. So, we have two books to read. The one is that all scriptures. And second is our own scripture, which means our whole body. One can give in the books; they can put something more inside. But you are not. Your book is that you have that complete. So we shall read our scriptures. And there are many, many things. First, what we said: our body, which is with the nourishment, Annamaya Kośa, and after that, it's called Prāṇamaya Kośa, that is also in us. Then, Manomaya Kośa, and that is also within us: Annamaya, Prāṇamaya, Manomaya, Vijñānamaya—the knowledge, the science—then Ānandamaya Kośa. These are chapters, one after another, in our body, and if we can read our inner scriptures, but not only for one day, it is necessary to learn day after day. A to by pro nás bylo veliké. Když nebudeme číst, tak to naše poznání odejde. A potom to zapomeneme. So read your holy book. And in your book, immense, immense knowledge. Nobody can give you this knowledge. We are giving to each other each surface. But it is in our field, like in your park or in your garden or in your forest, and you put seeds inside. And it will grow something good. It is yours. Others will be others, and everyone in their field, someone putting that kind of seeds, fruits, etc. But for a few years, you have done nothing in your field, then it's all bush, thorny bush, etc. Therefore, every day, read in your inner self when you are going by car, by cycle, in the train, in an aeroplane, or when you are walking, sitting, and sleeping. But in our, this is where we have to learn, learn, learn. So now many people, and we have a lot of the papers, and many technologies, so you cannot read. It is just coming out. But our inner, that is very important. So that's called vidyā. Viddhyā means the knowledge, and Viddhyā is the lord of the knowledge. Knowledge, vidyā, is the mother Sarasvatī. In your villages, in your countries, also they were praying the prayers in the school, from the primary school to the universities. Many people, they were doing it only for school times. Maybe until college, and then at the university, nobody had prayers. And that they lost. So, in many countries, according to their religion, their spiritual path, but one way you are saying God, Lord, myself, and so on, and on the one hand you say God knows the highest level of self and so on. And on the other hand, we kill animals. That is nothing. But many are like this, and they have an inner self. So, Mother Saraswati, you should read the hidden powers in humans: kuṇḍalinī and cakras, cakras and kuṇḍalinī. Měli byste si přečíst knihu Skryté síly v člověku, kde se píše o čakrách a kuṇḍalinī. A v jedné čakře je Brahmā. And Brahma is the father: Viṣṇu, Brahma, and Śiva. Shiva is the first, then Vishnu. And Brahmā. It is Brahma, Viṣṇu and Śiva. It is Brahma, Viṣṇu and Śiva. And they have always, one after the other, training. In the very beginning, there was only Śiva, and Śiva looks like a man. But when the world was created, it is said that between Śiva, the man and the woman... They are both in one. And therefore, they created then Saraswatī. So it is said that in the male is more female. And in the female is more the male. If not like this, then the creation will not continue. But there is something which is lost, neither this nor that. So they are both, what we call them, men into the men and women into the women. That we had, you see, look in the, you know, in the Mahābhārata. Well, and it is the coming Kali Yuga. And they will then, unfortunately, be suffering. It is said to the female, the male is given. Or, for the male, the woman has been given. That is bhakti and śakti. That we have to concentrate on. Even we should not sit together, nor drink from them. And this is Kali Yuga. It's coming more and more. I do not want to make something neglected. They are okay. They are happy. They don't say anything negative about them; they are okay, they are happy. I also respect them, but you know what it will be. That is going further. I'm not coming further in this subject. So therefore, we have to be complete ourselves. Čili je potřeba, abychom sami za sebe byli úplní. And when it's not complete, then it is checked out. A když nejsme úplní, tak odpadneme. And many, and they are okay; they are humans. Je to v pořádku, všichni jsme lidé. Tak, ekobrama dutty násty. Ekobrama dutty násty. Only one is the one. The other twist is not good. Well, let's come. Now, in this book, you have the Brahma. Brahma is the creator, and he gave this. So it is said, sometimes in misunderstanding. And there they will say, "What is that?" It is said, "Brahma's wife and Brahma's daughter." What is that? That is not like that. Then they will call the knowledge and the śakti. Sarasvatī is the wife of Śiva or Śrī Brahmā. And from him, from her, the Sarasvati, she creates all. And the second part of the power of Saraswati is knowledge. So what we are learning, science, knowledge, knowledge... what you are reading, everything, that's also called female. That is Sarasvatī Devī. One way, it is Brahmā's wife, and he is creating the knowledge. It is also known as the Sarasvatī. So don't take the Saraswatī, Brahmā's, and the female of the Brahman is also the same. In our book, read very nicely, and you see when it's in the chakras that the Brahmā and Sarasvatī, and the Brahmā and the wife. So this is saying like that, but it is not his daughter, is not his wife, or wife is not his daughter. Therefore, knowledge, so it is said that, "Oh humans, become complete, not half." And why not complete? Because you did not study in that way. You didn't look within, and so it fell to the difference. They are okay, no problem. But it is not that one. There is also someone; they both can't get a child. So this is in the science of the chakras, the kuṇḍalinī, and in that, another chapter also. And that is knowledge. There is nothing else. And that's called, this is one, what is called that word? I will take one day. So in this, we have to awaken within you. We, within ourselves, have to create. And that is called knowledge, the science. And it is also between all creatures, all animals. Even those who are creating, first the egg and then babies, children. So in this book, what you have, it is not only to learn once or twice. You read two, three, four, five times. And again, one chakra, because you have read everything. But again, now tell again what it is. And one chakra, you can have a thousand pages. Then you are confused. Completely confused, neither male nor female. Ani muž, ani žena. So, short and sweet. Čili, stručně a krátce. So, that again, open the paper. Otevřete si papíry and read. Knihu a přečtěte si to. You see that in many schools, sorry, the hotels. Vidíte to i v mnoha hotelech. Mostly, they are putting books from Christians, Muslims, or Hindus. Hare Krishna, people are putting the Koran. But those who are there, before going to sleep, would like to read them. But they will know what this subject is. So it's very good. Better to read those holy books than just watching what we call television. Rozumíš? Ja. Ano. Now in this, I can do something. I will put this machine in the shadow there and take Amrela out because I am so unhappy, because so many of my disciples cannot see me. Yes, therefore they should not sit too much there. There is space. Come, turn back space between yes, so we are not negative, we are not bad, we are not. We are all very high quality of the humans. God has completely, even perfect. But now our science, or our knowledge, and our behavior. That is depending on different things. Therefore, we shall always pray to these five elements. Also, to your children, give good education. And we are doing, and if your children are really well educated, and outside, some people are not giving you that knowledge, even if drugs come. But when your child you have given good education, then the negative will not come there inside. So the mistake is the parents', not the children's. And so, ask what today? What I said is, we pray to God. We adore, and very many people we are praying, worshipping the trees. You know the banyan tree? There are two kinds, male and female. Also, Tulsī. So many of these trees we are worshipping. My dear, so today is our day. Yesterday, as we could, according to our knowledge. To Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa. If you believe or not, believe or not, it is yours. But it is, and so I was surprised that almost all of you were coming and you were getting blessings from Kṛṣṇa. It's about 5,000 years, more than 1,000 years. And Bhagavān Rām, there's how many hundred thousands? So they are still alive because of us. And we are also further, we will go, but we are alive. So in your sādhanā here, your kriyā anuṣṭhāna, yoga anuṣṭhāna, the teacher training, our science, also karma yoga, and our little children. You cannot imagine when we are all together, we don't make that "I am this" and "I am there," you don't sit here and you don't sit there. How many doctors are in our program now? And we have such doctors. They don't tell I'm a doctor. Please sit this way. Our doctors, they are so humble. They have so much love in them. That they will talk to everyone, and if something happens, they will try to give good. So that we are all one. That is our profession. And that profession you have, that someone is working as a dentist, one is a surgeon, one is in a park, one is driving, so we are all, that is the best thing, but we are one, and that you have learned very, very much, that is great. Now, our Holy Gurujī, the beautiful, what he was writing, and where we were? I think it was 19. 18 we did, but then we did 30. 31. Very good. 31. Oh my God. Always only 30. There's always nine, then ten, then nine, so there's zero. And in zero, we are all. Zero is the best. Zero is the Surya. The whole sky, it is only like one goal. So we have all, but we go further. So this is the alphabet. So now it's coming to L. What we are writing is L. L and L is in Simi. L and L. L, L. Always here you have the L, and then you have other letters, but we have L, L. So we always have it in the double, so this time L, L. So L, L. Oh, L, L. Oh, that's very good. Sometimes it's, oh, L, L. Well, that's always good, everything, every letter, what Holī Gurujī said. But others said something. We said, Gagā, it is like Gaṇeśa, but different. And others said, "Gagá" means "Gada." "Gada" means donkey. So the people, they cannot respect the humans, therefore they say animals. You are the gaḍā. If I talk too much, then it's only one letter I will hold up talking. Okay? So this letter said Lala, and here Lala Gurujī said Lagan. Lagan means concentrate, yes, whatever you do with concentration. Cokoliv děláš, tak dělej soustředěně. Když řídíš auto, tak se rozhlížíš vždy okolo, ale zároveň máš tu soustředěnou pozornost, máš lagan. Když se z takovým pohledem a zaujímavým pohledem učíš, a zaujímavým pohledem učíš, ... your school examination will come, then you will be the best. Otherwise, more when coming examination, and they said, "Oh God, this and that, you will fail." But, Guru, they said, concentration day and night on your learning, then you will be the best. Tak můžeš propadnout. Ale Gurudev říká, ve dne v noci se soustřeď na to, co se učíš, a pak budeš nejlepší. Lālā lagan binā na pāo. So without concentration, you will not get it. Čili bez koncentrace toho nedosáhneš. Bato me kyu same gamao. Don't talk here and there, otherwise you are lost. So don't gush up. In that, you are getting lost in your time. So concentration will be perfect. Otherwise, you are gushing up, and you are getting lost in your time. That's what Gurujī said. That's what Gurujī said. Good. Okay. Or you want to say no. Okay. Then second, letter V. So, you have many names. Who has the name with the V? V, one, Vasant. So, one, one... one. Many are here, OK? V, V. V, V. Visa, visa, poison. Visa means poison. Vāsanā, desire. Meto, remove. So with this letter, tell. Poison means drugs. Yes, they can be drugs. Or eating not good, and like this. Nebo když nejíte, nestravujete se dobře. Vāsana, desire, desire. That, for example, yes. Vāsana: "I always want to eat that, I want to drink that," everything. So remove that because Vavā, you are the best letter. On you, V, it is V, it is the best letter, no? Jab hove Prabhu se beto. Then you will come to God. A pak se dostaneš k Bohu. Baba viṣe vāsanā meto, jab hove prabhu se beto. Then we will visit the God. When you remove the ego, then you will visit God. Ṣaṭ Darśana, these are the six Darśanas of the different kinds of the gods. I lost one, I have to come, sorry. But I have to go back in one order, so I have to go back. The śaśa śakti vṛtta madhyonā. Śaśa śakti. Śaśa śakti. Śakti means power. Śakti means power. And if you have a very strong body, and this and that. But then we begin to make different things, and we don't have any power, and we fall down, and we're lying there. Shakti. We are practicing asanas. We are swimming, we are running, we are walking. Body building, anything. Such as Śakti. That Śakti you should not take out. So, don't get rid of the Shakti. Śakti bina śabdha aluna. Without the Śakti, what you have in Śakti is also your knowledge. Many, many things, Śakti. And that Śakti binā śabdhaṁ aluna. Without Shakti, if we don't have it, then we are lost. It is like that, for example, it is a saying, a word saying. We are eating some good food, but there is no salt. There is no taste. Some people say, "No, we should not eat salt at all." Then, sooner or later, they will be very ill. We need salt. Even Jesus said in the holy book, it is said that we are, our body is, the salt of the earth. And if there is no more salt, all will be finished. That's why, how much is the salt? All oceans are full of salt. And about 60% of the earth is salt. Then why are we going? So we should have the salt. Sat darśan kī māyā, iskā pār koī nahīṁ pāyā. Sat darśan. There are six different darśanas. That power nobody knows. Please be friendly, or nobody will be talking. In company? A company. So wherever there is a sādhu, we should keep company. Čili, když je někde nějaký sādhu, tak bychom se k němu měli přidat. Šaša sadhu, saṅgat, kýže, děn, amrit, satsaṅg mi se píže. And with the sādhus, or good persons, there you are getting amṛt. Protože když si u sādhua nebo u dobrého člověka, tak tím získáváš amṛta. That amṛt means the knowledge. Jñān amṛt satsaṅg pījé. Drink the milk, Amṛt. And this amrit of the knowledge. Píj ten amrit, to znamená nektar poznání. Ha-ha, hiu har mat jana, esa śrame phir hata nānā. O můj příteli, don't try to give up. Don't give up. Don't lose. Otherwise, this human life will not come again. It will not come into our hands again. So, hü, hü means heart. Your heart doesn't get up, get lost. As a summit, like the time will not come, it will not come again in your hands. There are three more. There are so many. It's so, so, so... So I'm also confused by this, but of course I know, I learned. So gaga śakṣa sansan umrjave śakṣa sansan. It means like second by second. Life is going. One after another, life passes, flows. Jako když se sype písek, tak přesýpává se a mizí. If you will not make bhajans or a mālā of God Rāma, otherwise, you boys will be sorry. Traas. Traas... You know what is Traas? Torturing, torturing. They will not kill you at once. They will cut from here. They will cut from here. ... From here, from the stomach side. Torturing, torturing, my lord. May they who want to kill me, just one, not like that. Tṛṣṇā. Tṛṣṇā. Trash has Yam Kimarī. Yamarāja. You know, there is one, it's the Dharmarāja and Yamarāja is torture. Sometimes with hot water, sometimes with fire. There are rākṣasas. So, trās means torturing. Trás and jamky bharí, and this yama is terrible. Without Gurudeva, you will not come out. The knowledge without a Guru is not. Mother gives us how to eat. Father asks how to walk. Our brothers and sisters are helping us. Then one is giving us how to teach that cycle. Then how do we learn how to drive a car? How we get swimming? All this is our guru. Don't think the guru is only one guru. And like in these Western countries also, some in India we can make it, but without guru, here you cannot do. You have to learn, you have to study, to work for the electronics. And when you make everything, then again, the master must come and see if they have done it exactly or not. A když něco uděláte, tak stejně ještě musí váš mistr přijít a zkontrolovat, jestli jste to udělali dobře, když se učíte někde. To se týká jakéhokoliv oboru. Čili ten, kdo nám předává nějaké poznání, vědění, tak je guru. Učitelé ve škole, na střední škole, na univerzitě, to jsou všechno gurū. They are our guru, but then the highest cosmic self, that is then the other guru. It must not be that your guru is in university, learned. So there are two gurus. So these gurus, they are only till here. But that one has got this science within the heart. That leads us to the cosmic self, so you are also a guru here. The female is a guru, and the male is a guru. So there, the word is guru or teacher. Teacher is your language, and guru is our language. That's it. Without guru, there is no mokṣa. And therefore, we are sitting here. Right? Yes? Now it's thirty-nine. And now it will be one, two, three, four, five, six lines more. And that we will talk about last, tomorrow. Otherwise, I don't know what I will teach you. Oh God, can I begin from the beginning? So, this I leave it here. So, thank you, and again we will come to Mahāprabhujī, Mahāprabhujī, Devapurījī, and you know that. And you know that Dr. Shanti had visions a couple of times, and she also showed me the cave of Alagpurījī and a lot about Alagpurījī. And this book, it is called Kālidāsa, and the pictures, anybody can make however they want to. But it is about 2,300 years ago. And there he also writes about many, many things about Alakpurījī. So there also I saw it also. And we will come further. Therefore, we are praying for Alakpurījī. That was Satya Yuga. What? This was 2,300? This is only the story of that. He did not say how old is the Alakpurījī. Alaknanda and Alak River from ages. So we will see again tomorrow. So we pray to Alakpurījī, and where I had also a few times darśan, he gave me darśan also in the rocks, appeared again, gone. There is a waterfall, etc. So once he had a corona, not this corona, but no, coronavirus. And so I asked someone, a very nice artist, and I look for it, this or that, sometimes this. But one day, it was like, "And now I caught him." But I am like this now. Alak Purdy will say, "Who are you?" But I will say, I am your child. So that very nice picture is coming to us, and you will get it. And when it will come, of course, we will make a very nice, not only, but then please don't give it to anybody here and there. It should be very holy, otherwise you will, you will not be good. Ho dostanete, tak s ním zacházejte s úctou, s respektem. Jinak by to nebylo dobré. Ani ho, prosím, nezdílejte po telefonu. Prostě není to jen tak s tím obrázkem. Měl by být na nějakém posvátném místě. Ale prosím, nechovejte se pak k němu jako k novinám.
