Devadhī Deva, Deveśvara Mahādeva kī Jai. Devadhī Deva, Ārādhya Bhagavān, Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī kī Jai. Hindu Dharma Samrāṭ, Satguru Svāmī Madhavānanda Jī Bhagavān kī Jai. And Alakhpurījī Mahādeva kī Jai. My dear brothers, sisters, all yoga practitioners, yoga teachers, and all humans around the world, I respect them and I pray for them, that they are all doing good things. We need all, our world, our humans to be in oneness. We are praying for each other, from our culture, our religion, our country, and we are all trying to come together; sooner or later, we will be one day. We are already in the month of December. There is a day today, a very nice day, when the messenger of Jesus came and brought gifts for everyone, especially for children—all different kinds of toasts, sweets, and fruits. In every tradition, in every religion, in every country, according to their culture or religion, they are always making things healthy and friendly for each other. So, in our day, I am always taking each and every human into my heart, and I am respecting them. Every day, I have all people in my heart and I feel respect towards them. In every tradition, or every religion, we are all respecting, we should respect all, and continue further. According to the Christian traditions, this month, the twelfth month, is the completion of the year. There are differences: the Muslims have different times, Jews have different times, Indians have different times. But all are happy, and they are worshipping, and we should respect that. Muslims have a different calendar, Jews have a different calendar, in India there is a different calendar, but everyone is happy and celebrating, and we should respect it together. So, my dear, this is one of the best times when we can come back to our heart, understand, and think over. All eleven months of this year have passed and one is remaining. We know that in eleven months we went through many things, and it is still happening. Sometimes some kind of disease, sometimes disaster—water, fire—and sometimes humans cannot come together, and they are fighting. We should collect ourselves today in this month, and we pray to God; we pray to Jesus and all. May the coming year be peaceful and harmonious. We pray for that. In that way, this year, I try, I always try very much, to give to all the yogic feelings in such a way. It doesn’t matter who is who. Not that one is a high person or a net person, no. We are all one, and that is very important. In that way, our yoga in daily life and the science of spirituality and the path to the cosmic self—that yoga in daily life—you know that we all need to have good health. The best health is the wealth, and that wealth is the health, and that health is for us in our cosmic world. We all should bring our hand to our heart. Or we tell from our heart that we should get from our inner self. And what in our inner self should we understand, believe, control? From our inner self, and what is active at this time in our body. In our body means our heart, and our heart means the soul, and the soul of the cosmic. As our Holy Gurujī said—our Holy Gurujī, Hindu Dharma Samrāṭ Svāmī Madhavānandajī—he told many things. At the last, when he came to the Brahmaloka from here, from this earth, to the Brahmaloka, while going, the voice came from Bhagavān Śrī Svāmī Madhavānandajī: "One in all and all in one. That’s all." It means that he collected everything. On this whole earth, there are only two things: one in all and all in one. Not only humans, but all living things: animals, creatures, and everything, because our Earth is a living Earth. And what is living? This whole Earth, wherever it is, and also the water, and that water is our life. And that our life is for within, for everyone. That’s why there are also five elements, or the kośas, what we call our Annamaya Kośa, Prāṇamaya Kośa, Manomaya Kośa, Vijñānamaya Kośa, Ānandamaya Kośa. Within this, this is what we are. And that we can understand. And we realize, we want to understand what we will do, what we are doing. All is one. And finally, is that the cosmic? So everything is everything, and that’s why one in all and all in one. In that way, the yoga in daily life is from the Satya Yuga. In the Satya Yuga, when we are talking and when we see about, thinking of the beginning, that is called Śiva. Neither father, neither mother, nothing. Only with all elements, and so he comes. Always, I spoke many times, the jyoti, the light, the flame, and that everything is coming through this. In this way, we are first into the fire. But before that, fire is only the space. And we try to come now to how we can understand. Many great saints, great ṛṣis, yogīs, they all are entering in as God. So God itself is also called one in all and all in one. In this way, we are in this year, in the month of December, and it’s a holy month. Look, I am for every religion, and so I feel everything together. Another thing is, we don’t know. This is the one thing. We don’t know which month that was. We don’t know what month it was, what day it was, what year. But mostly, traditions began at that time: how the humans, how we are working, how we are doing. For example, the farmers. When they begin to give the seeds in the grass, in the earth, and take care, the seed will grow. Then harvesting—this time we are very busy working, we are acting, so we are happy and we are all working in ourselves. Then they are harvesting, then it’s coming cold time here, for example in Europe. So now what to do? It has been harvested. Everything is there: coming rice—not rice, sorry—that’s snow, rain, very cold now. Fighting comes. "I have my harvesting better, my death, your death." We have nothing to do, so we are fighting. So, great people, great saints, they made at that time when their people have nothing to do, then they begin to fight, as it is here. So, at this time, they make the festival. And it’s such a festival which is about spirituality, God, or whatever you call it. So on the day of Christmas, where they also have, like in India, the lights—always the God Rāma we have heard that, but Śiva also was come, Kṛṣṇa also, and for other religions too. So what are we doing now? We are active. So we are bringing good dresses. There’s some handwork, and some making sweets, giving to each other to the friends. Then we have the Christmas tree, etc. This is spiritual. These are the tools for children to play with, but also for older people. And we remember God. If someone doesn’t think of God, then they think like our friends. And that is around the whole world. So every month and every day there is something, holy days. And in that myself, I’m connecting this, that everything we are doing, it’s like a yoga. So yoga means uniting. We are joining; we are not throwing. So we are giving, we are not destroying. This day was a very great day. So today, one came in Christianity, one bhakta came, or some sādhu came, or anyone. He became like some spiritual person, so he had a nice cap because of the cold. It was very cold because of everything, and inside for children, something to bring because it’s cold and very snowy, and this and that. And in another part of the earth, in this land, Australia, it is now very hot, very hot. When I went the first time to Australia, and there on Christmas day, I told them, "In my country, in Rajasthan, we don’t have snow, but in the Himalayas, there is a lot of snow." And in Europe, I saw the snow and everything. And I saw what people are doing here for good things. And we are happy about the tree, the Christmas tree. So I asked the Australian in Sydney, "Are you also making the Christmas tree?" And they said, "We don’t have this." So, what are you doing? Why are you doing this? What do you wish? They said, "We wish there was a very hot day and we could go to the beach and go for a swim." And we have very cold, and we can go near the fire and this. So this is a tradition, that is a tradition. So we don’t know, sorry. So God’s difference time, they like this, they like this. So we try to connect all together. And that’s my aim of the yoga in their life, to bring the people into oneness. So today, I also got something, our little children also got something, so everywhere it was a holiday. And yesterday was different, also coming out something like negative people, not like some holy persons, but like devil persons. That’s it. So today, everything is cleaned up. And now, around the world, where mostly people believe in Christianity, every day they have some festive occasion. Now, they will, many companies, so they have brought everything for their people, the workers. And they give one day; they make a festival. So finally, on Christmas Day, they had only four families. So I wish you all the best, my dear. Enjoy the time of Christmas, and we will see each other again soon. And it is like this: we have to… they are very nice again for Sarvahitā Āsana. And in Sarvahitā Āsana today, it’s only five exercises. I can give you twenty-five, but then you will not understand, so just five. So it is like this: one in all and all in one. These are Holy Gurujī’s words. So, like, we will have now very nice five postures only, and it is our tradition now. At least two or three of our barikhatu praṇām. And our dear Swāmī, I know, Umapurījī, Swāmī Umapurī, she is a very good teacher, and she is nearly 30 years, I think, with me. Or more, yeah. So all the best. And then I have to bring some people, because there are not too many people here, and I would hold the word. And nearly I’m five months here in the Czech Republic. And Czechoslovakia, Croatia, many people, they have language, they understand a little bit. Because all cannot understand the language, Czech or English. So I always try to control my tongue, so that the other who is translating, and the one who is translating goes to all other countries, and they can hear. Because many times people say, "Swāmījī, we know, but we only speak Czech or Slovakian or this, that." So, we have our dear sister, Premlata, from the Czech country, and she’s a very great person, and she’s a yoga teacher, very good. And let’s see, she is translating, I am speaking, she is translating, and then we will go further somewhere. And we are not in a hurry. Don’t worry. Nice words, sweet words, clear words, etc., that’s what we call yoga in daily life. You are all one in and all in one with that Ārādhya Bhagavān Śrī Devpurījī Mahāprabhujī, Holy Gurujī, Alakhpurījīs. And Alakhpurījīs, tomorrow, I will again tell in Satyugas when the Shakti and Shiva, that time also, with this, the forest in Himalaya, that’s called Nanda Devī. And Nanda Devī is the disciple of Alakh Purījī. And so we are from the Alakh Nanda, so those are all Yoga in Daily Life people. It doesn’t matter how many ages. But our blood is there, the Alakh Purījī’s power. So I’m very happy that all yogīs in their life who touch with me, maybe they are not here, they are somewhere else, but they are very lucky that they are on that path to Śiva. Satya Yugas, Dvāpara Yugas, Tretā Yugas, and Kali Yugas are coming. So we are lucky, and we should know that from, I said, you from inside, and when you will go inside, you will open the Alakhpurījīs. Bless you all, my dears. And see you again. Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān and my dear Swāmī Umapurījī and our dear sister Vidyā. And there are a few of our friends here, all. Hari Om. Hari Om. Hari Om, dear friends, again around the world for Vitas, my webcast. We continue again with our subject, Sarvahitā Āsana. Today we start part four from level one, for some relaxation. Please make yourself comfortable. On your back, on your stomach, on the side. It doesn’t matter in which position you can relax and feel comfortable. It’s always the same. Before we start to practice, it’s always the relaxation, the stretching, and the warming up. Relax your whole body, legs a little bit apart from each other. Arms beside your body. Take a deep breath. Close your eyes and withdraw yourself from the outer world. Your inner beautiful world. Get rid of all your vṛttis, sorrows, concentrations. Relax your shoulders, your back, your buttocks. Your hips. Relax your thigh muscles, knees, your lower legs, your ankles, and both feet. Bring your awareness to your belly, and relax your stomach muscles. Lift side muscles until your arm beats. Lift the side of your chest and chest muscle. Shoulder. Upper arm, elbow, and lower arm. Relax your hand, the fingers, the wrist, and then bring awareness to your right hand, hand and fingers, and wrist. Lower arm, elbow, and upper arm, relax your shoulder. Right side of your chest, arm, feet—feel this whole part. Your side muscles, so both arms and shoulders are relaxed. Your neck, your toe, it’s very important. Don’t bite your teeth together. Relax your ears, tilt the middle of your ear, the whole skin of your head, your forehead. Eyebrows, eyebrow center, eyelids are gently closed, eyeballs looking down, nose and cheeks and lips, your whole face muscles, also the tongue is relaxed in your mouth. Your mouth, don’t press on your gum, your chin, and throat, till the middle of your chest. Once more, deep in and exhale, whole body, relaxed. Now, bring your arms slowly above your head via the side. Half circle along the floor above your head. Deep inhale. Slowly exhale. In the same way, bring your arms back beside your body. Continue two times more and try to keep your arms in contact with the floor, with the ground. This already improves our chest breathing. Makes our shoulders again more flexible, movable, and once more. It helps to open our ribs, the intercostal muscles. Very good. Now bring your arms beside your shoulders, palms facing upwards. And move your head gently left and right without lifting it up, without stretching, only moving left and right. It’s just to feel how your neck is doing, how your neck muscles are doing. Very good. And now move your fingers, stretch and bend slowly. Your wrists move. Your face muscles, lips, and forehead. Your toes and ankle joints bend and stretch. Your knee, one after the other. Very good. And stretch the whole right side of your body with your deep inhalation, arm above the head. Stomach going down, back going down towards the floor, especially the lower back, with the help of your stomach muscles. With exhaling, relax, bring your arm back, and the same also to the other side. Again, with antarkumbhaka, according to your breath capacity. Very good. Both arms, whole body stretching. Whole body. Deep inhale. And roll to the left and right side. You can continue breathing. You need not hold your breath. Dynamically roll to the left and right side. If you have back pain, then bend your knees. Hold your knees. Very good. Rub your palms together until your palms become warm. And place them on your eyes and forehead, on your nose. You can go over your face a little bit. Rub your face a little bit. Under your hands, look first in your palms. Not immediately, directly in the light. Slowly remove your hands and bring them beside your body. So, in this way, we always start our practice: relax, stretch, warming up, and then postures. Now we come to one torsion exercise, one stretching exercise, especially for our hips and lower back. First, bend your right knee and hold it with your left hand. Your right arm is also above the head. It means more stretching also of the side muscles. Now, the left leg remains on the floor, and try to pull your right leg with the help of the left hand towards your left shoulder. It means we stretch our whole side muscles of the hips. Normal breaths. Of course, if you have pain in your lower back or in your ilio-sacral joint, do it according to your feeling. If you have too much pain, please leave this exercise out. If you have pain in your lower back or in your ilio-sacral joint, do it according to your feeling. It’s a very good exercise to prepare and to help stretch the side muscles of the hips. And stretch your leg again. Bring it down to the floor and bring your arm back. Now we bend our left leg and hold the knee with your right hand. Left arm above your head. Of course, it’s different if you practice it or only if you see it. This is always in yoga: one gram of practice is more than tons of theory. So one has to experience by oneself. If you have pain while pulling up to the right shoulder, then move your whole leg with the help of your hand inside and outside. So we just maybe show it inside and outside, not up and down like this, and outside also. So move it a little bit like this. And then you can start to pull it up towards the right shoulder. Feel the stretching. The right leg remains on the mat on the floor. If possible, position the right toes upward toward the shin. Normal breath. And again, stretch your leg and bring your arm back. Legs are straight, parallel to each other. Now we come to the torsion exercise. The right foot can either be on your thigh or outside of your knee. So we can show both variations. This is on, and this is outside. It depends also on your body structure, on how your body is formed, how it’s possible, how you do. So we will show it in that way. Left hand is on the right knee or thigh, and the right arm is beside the shoulder, palms facing upwards. Now, when we do this torsion exercise, we try to keep our right arm and right shoulder on the floor in a relaxed position. Take a deep inhalation and twist towards the left with your right leg. Pelvis and lower back, and with the help of your left hand you can give a little push towards the ground, but without lifting up the right shoulder. Head is turning to the right. The complete torsion of the whole spine, but the effect is more in the lower back and hip. Inhale towards the middle. Now we do it in the way that your foot is on the thigh, above the knee. And in the same exhale, turn to the left, head to the right. Inhale, towards the middle. Then again, stretch your leg. Arms back. In the same way, to the other side with the other leg. And in the same way on the other side, with the other leg. So, in the front, we have the left foot, thumb beside the shoulder, palms facing upwards. Right hand on your thigh, above the knee. Deep inhale before. And exhale down to the right. Inhale to the left. In an optimal way, the knee touches the floor and the left shoulder is on the floor also. Inhale towards the middle, and once more with the foot on the thigh. So it depends. When you have knee pain or it’s a little sensitive in your knee, keep your foot on the thigh. When you have back pain or when your back is not so good, and the iliopsoas joint is too loose, then you have to find out if this exercise is good for you or not. Then, while exhaling, turn to the side. So the responsibility for all these asanas is actually on yourself. Yoga, and in life, is a study of body, mind, consciousness, and soul. Whole life study, and towards the middle. Very good. Stretch your leg, and bring your arm beside your body. Now, make your neck long. The chin comes towards the collarbones. Give a little pressure towards the floor, towards the mat, with your neck muscles, also with your shoulders, also with your lower back, with the help of your stomach. Press towards the floor, also the back of your knee, toes towards the shin, and keep this tension, this pressure. And again, relax. And once more. Deep inhale. Feet towards the shin, lower knees down, lower back down, shoulders and neck. Keep the tension, the pressure, and relax. It’s a very helpful function of our flexor muscles. And with the next asanas or movements, we will wait until tomorrow. Take a deep breath and slowly sit up in your meditation posture. We can say this is also a mini yoga program between relaxation, stretching, and strengthening the muscles. If you have a minimum of time, then use those movements or postures. Bring your hands, your fingers, into the Chin Mudrā. Again, relax your legs. Your back is supported with some pillows. Under your tailbone, it helps to raise up the pelvis and your back more. Your spine is straight. Your neck is straight. Relax your jaw. Close your eyes. The eyebrow center is also relaxed. Your belly, your shoulders, and elbows. Practice the movelessness of your whole physical body. We have this example when you have a big ball with water inside. As long as the ball is moving, the water is also moving, and you can’t see it until the ground. When we keep the ball, which represents our physical body, without movement, the water inside also becomes still and quiet. There, we can see it until the ground. So in our yoga practice, we keep our physical body without movement for meditation. To see what is inside, within ourselves. Relax your whole body. Observe your breath. Listen to the sound of your breath. Do your inner pūjā, your mānasik pūjā. And in that way, with your mantra, with your guru mantra at home, you can continue. But here we will finish our live stream. If you practice at home, you can continue, but with this we will end our broadcast. Deep inhale. Om Śānti, Śānti, Śānti Hari Om.
