Good evening, dear sisters and brothers, all yogīs in their life, teachers, professors, and students. We are already in the second month of this year. We have heard and we know that in many countries, the coronavirus has greatly diminished. Very few people are affected now. Slowly and gradually, it will leave completely. Corona is now very weak, very tired. So we should be more controlled and strong for just a few more months or some days, and we will emerge from these troubles. We are nearly seven months into Swāmījī’s television broadcasts, which reach around the world. I had my programs, and there were just a few people physically present because we were advised not to go to ashrams or temples. But my voice is reaching the whole world through Swāmījī’s television. Many messages are coming through telephones or other means, along with some words of feedback. We have been practicing a lot, and we are now progressing towards prāṇāyāmas. For the last four days, we have been practicing Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma. My dear practitioners around the world, some listen at midnight, but others will get it the next morning so they can listen as well. So, Prāṇāyāma. What is the name? Brahmari. This is a type of bee, like a honeybee. But honeybees do not make much noise. There is another kind, which is called Brahmari. What does Brahmari mean? It means making a sound with the wind—a very nice, beautiful sound. These bees mostly go to flowers and some fruits. They make a nest from earth, creating very nice, beautiful structures on a wall. The Brahmari that builds this nest is a female. She comes and brings everything, making a very nice nest with many different holes inside, like many streets. We can think of our villas; in the past, there were little streets only wide enough for a horse to pass. In many countries and cities, there are very narrow streets where you can only go by horse or motorbike, not by car. We know that in those times, people built houses that were very nice, beautiful, sound, and airy. Similarly, the Brahmari makes a nest with so many streets inside. These bees, the Brahmari, build in various ways. It was very nice and cool inside—not very hot and not very cold—though mostly it was built in the summertime. Then, this brāhmaṇī now wants to have some babies in this nest. Where are they? They are not a seed; they are like little worms. There are three different worms. The first one listens to sounds and then runs away. The second stands up a little, listens to something, then hides under the grass somewhere. The third one, upon hearing a sound—like the sound "all," or someone playing an instrument such as a flute—listens. It is like a man who catches a cobra. He plays a sound, the cobra comes up and listens, and as the person moves his instrument, the cobra sways. It becomes very happy and joyful, and then he catches it and takes it home. Similarly, that Brahmari bee will catch that particular worm and bring it into the nest from somewhere on the wall. She raises it like this. Then she feeds this worm. Like a honey bee can sting us, this process also takes some time. The worm is inside, as if injected. Sometimes it is tired, and sometimes it waits for a sound; if the sound comes, it tries to hide. Then the wasp injects it again. Slowly, that worm develops wings. Like a butterfly—first it is a worm, then it has wings. Then the mother bee opens the nest a little and waits. Again, she sings. Then she goes far with the sound. That worm comes out again. The mother comes there, makes the sound, and slowly, she also comes from behind. This time, the new bee—the original worm—flies after her. Some bees make nests in the earth. This is how we derive the yogic practice of brahmārī prāṇāyāma, which works with all the prāṇas. So, the day before yesterday and two days before, I gave you this Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma. My dears around the world, wherever you are listening to me, I will tell you again. The first thing we can do is have our teeth together, touching. This sound goes from our ears and comes back here to the temple area, then a sound comes back towards the nostrils. What is the effect of this? Brahmārī prāṇāyāma balances both nerve systems, Iḍā and Piṅgalā. It also balances our eyesight and improves the proper perception of sounds from our ears. It works on headaches here on the forehead. This Brahmari sound, which travels in this way, induces a very nice release and balances our speech and vocal sound. The resonance mostly comes from the ears to the inside. When we are biting our teeth, place your fingers here on the temple. Then bite your teeth a little, as if biting into some fruit or eating. Now you can do this, my dears, wherever you are in any part of the world. Look, I am placing my three fingers—index finger, middle finger, and ring finger—here on the temple, not in the ears, but above. Now we will bite our teeth and relax. When the sound is made, you will feel it here. My finger is not in the ear; it is here. This practice releases headaches, though not excessively, because sometimes those who have a headache find it terrible and cannot listen to this sound. Therefore, during a headache, we should not do this sound practice. But otherwise, we should practice, and we will feel more release afterward. Prāṇāyāma. Now, when we do not bite our teeth, the sound goes upward, releasing energy toward the Sahasrāra Chakra and our Bindu Chakra. So that is when we are open, not biting. So, there we go. Here now, listen. Lips are closed, but the teeth are not biting. This releases the whole of our head. This prāṇāyāma is very, very good. People who speak well or are singers need this practice because Brahmārī is the best of the best. When we speak afterward, our voice is so good. So this is very beneficial. These are the two points I told you again. First, with the teeth biting, focus on the temple area. If you have your teeth pressed, you can feel the resonance on your temples, the forehead and temples. It is directly and nicely connected with Iḍā and Piṅgalā. From the temple to the nostrils, Iḍā and Piṅgalā are released very much, so that our speaking will be good. For example, there is a tension, and after that sound comes, how nicely we speak. Both nostrils function very nicely at that time. Very good singers get help from instruments and from being a speaker. So the instruments are like the bees, and inside, the worm that is becoming a brāhmaṇī will enable the singer to sing very nicely. There is a third prāṇāyāma, which will be for tomorrow. There is a singer—I am not a singer, sorry, I am not a good singer—but I am demonstrating for you so that you should... make it good. Okay, thank you. But that is a Brahmari. All singers should practice Brahmari Prāṇāyāma. This is Brahmari, and everyone who sings should practice Brahmari prāṇāyāma. Someone who knows, your people’s singers, they go like this, holding a little bit, yes. So, as Mirabai said very nicely, "This is enough for today, because your time is gone." So, for headaches, for those who cannot sleep properly and who experience tensions while sleeping, practice Brahmari with the teeth biting. And when we release, our teeth and lips must always be closed. The energy goes to the top, going to Brahmāṇḍa. Prāṇāyāma. Tomorrow. I wish you all the best. Please, everyone, try it at home. Mostly, some people have a sound in the mouth or in the air. Is that sound good? No, it is not good; it is very hard and disturbing, yes? But we ourselves do not hear it. Others cannot hear it either. But those who get the sound in the brain feel very unwell. Where is the sound? How to address it? We can only do this through yogic science, and that will proceed like that. Of course, maybe some doctors give injections or perform operations, and that is different. Therefore, tomorrow, let's always sing something. Aum Gurur Brahma, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvara, Gurur Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Guruve Namaḥ.
