Good evening to all my dear sisters and brothers, to everyone in Yoga and Daily Life, to all devotees, and to the Yoga and Daily Life teachers around the world. A welcome also to those with ashrams and yoga centers. I respect you all. And to those who do not know yoga and cannot practice it, I say: for your good health, whatever you do, do something for your body. The body is primary. So, welcome all to this program. I welcome you. Good evening. We have said that whatever we do, we offer praṇām to God, or to your mother and father. When we wake up—as I always tell you—we should offer salutation. Offer salutation to those to whom you are beloved: first to mother, father, elder brothers and sisters, your teachers from school, college, and university, and to the Cosmic Self, to your Gurudev. This is good for us. It is not for anything else, but when we offer salutation or pray to God, we receive their blessings and we give them thanks. We should lead our life in peace, harmony, understanding, and love. Yoga and daily life are for everyone. It must not belong to some religion or no religion. We humans, the human body, everything—we ourselves and our body—are the temple of God. Therefore, we humans are the temple of God. We should keep that temple very clean and beautiful, shining. And when we go to that temple, or move towards that temple, we are happy. How? When your good friends, your parents, your brothers, your sisters, or your neighbors are coming to you, you know you are happy. "Oh, my mother is coming, my father is coming, my brother is coming, my husband is coming, my wife is coming, my uncle is coming, my teacher is coming." So we see the temple of God as the human body. In different religions or spiritualities, they also have their temple or place; whatever they have is different. First, we should keep our body very clean. Then, our ātmā, our soul, resides in our temple—the God of our body. It is very beautiful and a blessing. Thus it is said: keep your temple very clean, harmonious, and very beautiful so that you feel it yourself, inside your body, and your feelings flow throughout the whole body. In our mind and our thoughts, we are in and out of this, our temple. You know, the priest or pūjārī cleans the temple or church early every day. First, they clean it. So it is with our body, the temple, when we get up. I always say, when we wake up, I say, "I am human." We open our eyes and we see our temple. We respect our earth as a mother, the life, the water—everything. Then what do we do? It is like this: we are very pure, very pure and very clean. But there is a different kind of dust. That dust is not only material dust, but laziness and not being fresh. One says, "I am very tired." And you know, we say, "Oh, oh my God, I have to get up." So we have to move. When we wake up, we cannot quickly get up and run. Even animals... so we bring clarity into our whole body. Then we go to the bathroom, we wash our body, our eyes, our mouth. As we purify ourselves, we become more awakened. So many energies awaken in the body. In this way, this is the first temple: our body. We have many temples; that is different. But we are already given by God as a temple. And in our temple sits God. So don't go anywhere. God said, "I am in you." Your Jīvātmā, that is my God. So when we go within and feel clarity, peace, harmony, love, understanding, and respect—all this in our temple makes us very happy and relaxed, and we come more and more forward to where God has given us to go. We wake up, we open our eyes. There are some people, unfortunately, who are blind. They cannot see, but they see inside. They are awakening; they know where they should move. So that is within us, and that is our temple. That God is one. And how is God one? Let us say that everyone on this earth needs water: grass, bushes, trees, everything, animals, birds, and humans. We all need water. Now, water is only one, but everyone says, "My ātmā, my jīva." So it is like this: our jīva is like one very fine drop of water. And in that one drop of water is the whole ocean, the whole earth, the whole atmosphere, all the warm, the cold—all this is one. Our Gurudev said, "One in all and all in one." If you do not respect your body, then you will not feel it in the temple, or the church, or the mosque. Or when you go to visit anyone. Many times we go with our friends to others' homes; they call you and we enter their house. We say, "Oh, beautiful, you have such nice flowers here. You have very nice colors on your wall." And we see the beautiful things on the other side. And they say, "Yes, but you also have very beautiful." I was [like this] last days. So we are all moving like a globe, and that is, in this way, ātmā, jīva. Sometimes people say, "I cannot be happy, I don't want to live anymore." And you know, many people commit suicide, which is not good. But why? Because in their inner temple, it was not happy and not clean, and so on. So in that way, our temple gives happiness, joy, and blessings from our temple to the other temples. There are many, many [temples] in our body: our heart, our other different [parts]. But many people do not know. They know, but they do not concentrate on that. And that is our nābhi, navel. There is one drop, and that drop is the whole universe, the whole earth, the whole oceans, all fruits, everything. Just a little drop. That's it. If we see the whole universe, then our earth, we see only a very tiny something. How many suns are there? Many stars are like a sun, a different sun. And so we are... we think, "I am very big," but we are not. We are very fine, but we are very great, like a spark of fire, yes. And so, every day before going to sleep, and when you wake up from sleep, wash yourself. Every time, please put your hand or a finger on your nābhi. There was one person from India, he was very nice, and he had different kinds of oil. This is something very interesting. For example, we have mustard oil. Mustard oil is very sharp, but it is a very powerful, very healthy, and very great oil. It creates a little warmth. Just with your ring finger, take only a little of this mustard oil before going to sleep. Put this little oil just in your navel and see in the morning what happens. Then you will tell me tomorrow, "My God, how many things in my body happen." This is also for the ears—those who hear English—it goes from here, nābhi, also from the ears, the eyes, many, many good things. Then there is another kind of oil. He has written about it very nicely, and I will get it again, and I will ask him if I can give it further to others from my side. It is unbelievable. And you know, there is one which we call some kind of juice... cane sugar, cane sugar. No, not cane sugar, but anyway. So, there are many—sorry, I will tell you tomorrow, all this. I'm sorry, I'll tell you all this tomorrow. And the mūlī, you know, mūlī. Mūlī is a reddish, white-reddish [radish]. But we should only eat it in the morning, until eleven o'clock. Then, not. But if you are making a vegetable from this, then it is different. These are so many things, what we call, in grandmother's kitchen. This is very, very nice. And for example, from the cow: milk, butter, ghee. From the cow we get milk, then we warm it and make yogurt, and from yogurt we take butter, and from butter we melt it to get ghee. And that one, then you will go... what will happen? A miracle, what? Before going to sleep, take a very little amount, drops like this. Take this ghee, warm it a little bit, and put one little drop in the left and right nostril, and so on like this, and sleep. So what happens? Many people have headaches. See what ghee will do, and how well you will sleep, and that you will not have any bad dreams. You will become relaxed and good and happy, very nice. But only a little ghee, and that is needed for the whole brain very much. But the ghee should be that kind of ghee. This is all that we have. Then, this is our temple. Our body is our temple. So maybe tomorrow I will give you more. This is very, very important. You are your own temple. Keep your temple very pure. Do not give into your temple meat, alcohol, drugs, eggs—only pure greenery, something. For humans, it was said, you will see that in all yogas and yugas, they do not eat any. Brahmā, Śiva, Viṣṇu—they are all very pure. How cleanly and well it was eaten in all the previous yugas, even the godly yugas—only cleanly. What do we do with all the āsanas, prāṇāyāmas? Our yoga and life practices serve thousands and many others. So in this way, today, before going to sleep, release all the stress from your whole day. Wash your mouth, brush or whatever, and also wash your face. If not your whole body, then wash your hands, still both hands. When we touch the water, cold or warm, the whole nervous system is activated through the body. So, see you again tomorrow for our prathānā, our prayers: Om Namaste Śrī Gurudev Purīṣa Dayālam Nijanandāyanandamaya Ke Alam. Śarīram akhaṇḍam Hari rūp jase, ati tanadī nirākār bhase, āgam ano jīvapar aliptam svarūp, suśuddham sadā yogī japat namo. Sarva vyāpī guṇātīta deva, Prabhudīp koḍījo sadā caraṇ sevā.

We have this, yes: Vigna Haran Mangal Karanam Dharas Parasvava Paan Parvati Nandan Namo Shri Deepa Saran Dhar Dhyan Jai Jai Dev Dayal Shiva Karna Sumangalamur Shri Deepa Gyana Vairagyamat Sadaravo Anukul Vandai Saran Gurudevake Shri Devapuri Sasukudai Timir gaye udit vṛavi bhaye jñāna ujyal.

Every day, Śrī Dīp Gyān Vairāgyam, Śrī Dīp Purī Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṁ Mahāprabhujī, Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṁ Mahāprabhujī: gyān, knowledge; vairāgya. How is it that you get it? Vairāgya means that we are clean. Vairāgya means that we give. Vairāgya is not a rāga. There are two kinds of rāga. One rāga is meditation on instruments. That is also rāga, and the second is rāga, which is inside. Rāga is the purity. Rāga or negative can also be. So deep jñāna vairāgyaman, so Mahāprabhujī, Devapurījī, Bhagavad Gītā, Sada rehe anukul, sada, 24 hours, will be for us, always with us. Anukul means we like what we want. Vando charaṇ gurudeva ke, therefore we bow down in the holy feet of the Gurudeva. Śrī Devapurīṣa śukadai, whose holy feet? Devpurījī’s. Śrī Dev Purīśāl. Dev Purījī. Bhagavān Dev Purījī. Sukhday always gives us the good things: peace, harmony, understanding, everything. Sukhday, we are happy always. Vandosharan Guru Devakī. Yoga, yugati, yahi smriti. Yoga, yugati, how to do properly, yahi smriti, that smriti that we know all, we should know that. Prabhu Janī Bāl Urlāī Mahāprabhujī, and Mahāprabhujī’s Prabhu Janī, he knows that Bāl. Like Bāl, we are the disciples or children. Prabhu Janī Bāl Urlāī, that we bring that knowledge, happiness, everything in us, in Uralāya. Timir gaye ur udit ravi. So it’s awakening from that morning. Udit, Ravi Bhai, on that, Udit, like the sun rises. Bhai Jñāna Ujjala, like the sun rises, similarly the knowledge awakes like a light in our brain, in our bodies. Śrīdīp Prabhu Sāky Vinati, we pray to Mahāprabhujī. Please, O Mahāprabhujī, Deep Dayāl, be merciful to us. Please, Mahāprabhujī, be merciful to us.
