My dear sisters, brothers, and yogīs around the whole world, in yoga and daily life, I wish you all good health and that your yoga practice continues, so you may have a very healthy life. I wish you all the best. Let us go further and speak something. Hari Om. We spoke of Brāhmaṇī yesterday, and now from this Brāhmaṇī, Prāṇāyāmī, which definitely balances Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā. But the first is Vajranāḍī. When a seed sends out a sprout, the roots first grow downward. Then the sprout emerges. This is the balance of our whole body. Like a tree, the first parts are the roots. There are different kinds of trees and different kinds of roots. You all know this, but I am reminding you. Here in the hills, the little mountains, there are very nice trees, green. Some are changing their leaves, and some are evergreen day and night. Many of these trees have roots only on the surface or just beneath it, and yet they grow taller and taller. This is good, but when a strong wind comes, the roots are only in the earth, not deeper, and the tree will fall down. But there are other trees, like the banyan and peepal trees and many others. In countries all over the world, there are some trees that are very big; four or five people are needed to hold the trunk. Their roots go deeper and deeper and grow stronger. It is not just one root; it is like the hair on our body. All the roots go deeper and deeper over many months. They are like capillaries, small or thin roots that grow like our hair deep into the ground. In some countries, it is very hot and there is little water. The roots go deeper and deeper in search of it. I have experience with this, as do many of you. In Barīkhāṭu, there is a very nice, big banyan tree. Mahāprabhujī was mostly living there. Sometimes he came to Dhunī, Dhūnā, but mostly he lived there, down from the hill, under that very nice banyan tree in a little house. People came for beautiful satsaṅg there. Mahāprabhujī would sit there writing bhajans for his books. Holī Gurujī told me a few times, and others also told me, that Mahāprabhujī would recite the first line of a bhajan. Then Mahāprabhujī would say to Holī Gurujī, "Maheśvarānāmjī, Mādhāvānāmjī." Sometimes Gurujī said "Mādhav" or "Mādhavānām," and sometimes "Mādhavānandajī Mahārāj." Mahāprabhujī would say, "Write the first line," and then say, "Now make it a bhajan further." Gurujī said, "But Gurujī, you are writing, Mahāprabhujī. I don't know what I should write. I will do it differently, and you will say it is wrong, then you will be angry with me." This is called the disciple's and guru's play. Enjoy it. The disciple is telling the Guru, "Within his brain or in his body, how much knowledge is inside, or this power or energy?" And Mahāprabhujī said, "Mādhavānandhu, this paper, this is the bhajan. Now write it quickly; after, we will eat." Then Gurujī was writing. Gurudev said that Mahāprabhujī said, and Mādhavānandhu said, "I will do it quickly." Gurujī said quickly, so I will do quickly. But it is like this: there is a call, Vidhātā. Vidhātā is the holy mother in heaven. When anyone is to be born—we are talking about humans—when the child is in the mother's body, in her womb, and then after nine months the little child is ready to come out from the mother's womb, a doctor or someone comes to help. At that time, Vidhātā comes and writes the destiny. Yes, as long as you were playing in your mother's womb. But now, when the child begins to come out, she says, "What is your destiny now? Will you come comfortably, or will there be more problems?" The child comes out, is cleaned, and begins to cry a little. At that time, the child and mother are still connected from the navel. The person assisting the birth cuts the string from the navel. At that moment, now is your destiny. The mother will help with everything, giving this and that. But what will your life be further? Destiny—how is your destiny? If there are twin children, both coming out, their destinies are different. We should know when the twin child is coming. But the destiny of both will be different. Parents can try, and grandparents will also help. But how and what will they play? There is a very nice story. You know, you have heard about Rāvaṇa. You know Rāvaṇa? Yes. That king Rāvaṇa—if they said king, he was a very great person. Only one thing led to his destruction. Otherwise, he was very learned, everything. But he had anger, that kind of anger and fighting, and what we call ego. No one could fight with him. We have what we call the different kinds of constellations—not constellations, they are like in the other world, not in this world—and they are counted also with the constellations. He was always in all the constellations. Rāvaṇa said to them, "Stay for me." He said to all the planets, "Stay for me." All the planets were trembling when he came there. But he could not overcome Śiva, because the one who has greater power is Śiva. Without him, Rāvaṇa could do nothing. So one afternoon, Rāvaṇa was sitting in front of his palace. It was afternoon, not sunset. Rāvaṇa was sitting there, and she came, Vidhātā. Vidhātā was coming to Rāvaṇa's palace. No one can see her because they are astral. But Rāvaṇa knows. Rāvaṇa said, "Who are you? Without my permission? Where are you going?" She said, "I am going to your palace. Your wife is giving birth." "What will you do there?" She said, "I am Vidhātā, and I will write the destiny. What will be your destiny?" "Okay, you will write?" "Yes." "Okay, go. But when you come, I tell you, write well for my daughter, my child. Tell me, otherwise I will just take it here under my feet." She said, "I will write not from my brain and heart. What is her destiny? That will be written only by my pencil. Give me the pencil," she said. "Destiny is in this pencil. I can only hold this, and this will go out writing. Everyone, you be. You have the destiny when." We are writing a signature, or this and that. This is very powerful, very powerful when it's written and put. It is a power ever so well. He said, "Come quickly." She said, "It is her destiny. It will be quickly, or it can take the whole day." And so Rāvaṇa's daughter is born. She wrote everything and was going back. Rāvaṇa said, "Yes, what is there, child?" "It is a girl, your daughter." "My daughter? Very good. What did you write?" "There is a penny for my child, daughter." He said, "It's very nice. She's beautiful, very good, but she cannot walk properly. She's like walking like nothing. Second, that your daughter's husband will be someone who is working in the streets. And it's not a proper body. Little black, little white, and like this. And he walks not properly, and a few things. And my daughter—your daughter—is good, beautiful, but her destiny is different. My daughter marries to such who's working in the street. Their children, and his legs are like this, hands are like this." He said, "It is destiny. I tell you." He said, "You can go. I will keep you in my eyes. My daughter's marriage will be with the king's children. And then I will tell you with Haṭha, 'Why did you write like that?'" She said, "It's his destiny," and she went. "I will call you." She said, "Yes, I will come." Destiny of all of you. All we are sitting in my lectures, wherever you are, in different parts of the countries, the world. Yesterday, day before yesterday, I was talking that we have many things, but another one is destiny, which is... you said you are a doctor, you are professors, you are workers, you are this, that. About 20 years. And always they said, "Marry on the 25th hour, years not before." Till that, make all meditation or anything, or good thing, studying, etc., and enjoy with the mothers and fathers, and like this. If you are going just under 15 years or 18 years or 20 years or this, they are suffering this, both men and boys and girls. There are other things which I don't want to tell all. So now his daughter is grown; she was about twenty-five. And of course, Rāvaṇa's, my God, and everything, beautiful girl. Now he's sending people to some kings. Where are the kings? Are they anywhere in the world? But strong, with strong and very process and everything. And look at the girls, the boy, how it is. So, like that, from kings, bring their son for marrying my sister—daughter, sorry. So people were going to many, many countries, far, distant, across the ocean, because Sri Lanka—it was Sri Lanka—they came, it was not good. And they always brought some nice child, my man, or boy, sorry. And that girl said, "No, I don't like this." And he said, "Okay, my daughter doesn't want, and I don't want also. But go, bring, bring. It's the right time for my daughter." One day they were searching, searching. There was some child which was not physically good, and these sweepers took his child and put it in one box. They put it in the ocean. A little child was born. It was going through the water, slowly being, slowly going. It comes on the other shore. On that shore, there was one king. The king and queen were swimming in the ocean, on the beach. They see there is one nice wooden box, grass down, then some cloth, and good air and everything. He put some milk in the mouth of the bottle, and it became very big, this box. So the king said, "Oh, there is something, it is mine." The queen said, "The box is yours, but what is inside is mine." She said, "Yes, Queen." And they opened the little child, and they had no children; they could not get children. So they took this child and were so happy they brought him. And after slowly, slowly, they see he is not good, or he has handicapped many, many things. One hand like this, one leg like that, walking like that, you know. But, great king, he took him as his son. And so he sent other messengers. So nowhere was good, but this one was found. And they said, "Whatever we bring, they don't like." So there was another king. And they said, "Can you? Your son wants to be married?" He said, "But who? I'm a king, also the king's child." So, it is in Sri Lanka. Who is there in Sri Lanka? Who is there? Rāvaṇa. He said, "Oh, for Rāvaṇa. Of course, we will bring it." So they brought the child with the nice chariot and horses and many people, and said that the bride, the man you want to marry, your wife said, "I want to see." They said, "No, otherwise they will go back." And he said, "Okay, no problem. How is Godot, great king?" and this and that. The next day, they made all kinds of pūjās and so on, and this girl was there. All these marriages they are doing after sunset, so that all can come. And it is said in the kings, all cannot come. Only that girl, the girl's parents, and two or three men. That's all, and they will not come at all. That young man, he and three or four other people. And he will not work. He will not have a job walking. He wants to sit in his chair. And he marries ceremonies. And the ceremony did it, it was a marriage, everything, and then the daughter, the girl, she went in her palace, and they said, "Tomorrow morning, seven o'clock." This boy, he will come. And he came also, his father's daughter's father, and this lady, the girl, was sitting there nicely, and they opened him, and it was half black and half like this, and they discovered the new husband, and it turned out that he was all wrinkled. And his head was like this, one hand was like that, and they said, "What is this? This is my prince, and she is a princess, married." Then Rāvaṇa said, he called Vidhātā. He said, "I told you, the destiny of your daughter is like that. I told you." So, look, how is your prince marrying? So, he said, destiny is very clear. It is like where you throw the stone, it will go there where it should go. Similarly, it is all that we are doing, our destiny. And so, when a child, there are two twins, but both have different karma; there is teṇī. It doesn't matter how far we will do good, but after, it will come back. So similarly, there is a tree, like a banyan tree or big trees, many, many different kinds of trees. And their roots are their destiny, very dry, no water. As much as it is dry and no water there, the roots of the tree, they are blind, but they are going searching, "Where is the water?" So that one banyan tree in Barīkhāṭu, where Mahāprabhujī was there, Mahāprabhujī was living mostly here. And now we made a big house, three floors, and three floors in my bathroom. And what happens now? Very thin, little like a hair, but going where humidity, where humidity,... yes. And it came to the pump of the water to the toilet. And what? There is a thing, yeah, in the toilet. Yeah, and there, when you got a water, it's very like one hair. And then it begins to become bigger and bigger to catch all water and goes through. Or go deep: one, two, three, four meters, six meters, five meters deep. About two months ago, I think, or one and a half months, Chandrapurī, who is in the Barīkhāṭu Āśrama taking care, and I was not one year there in that room, and then he saw what is inside, like hair coming out, so we have to cut that from far down and put again new, because the engineers, they were not good, so not to engineer like our Vasant, so that's why our Vasant, he want like Yogesh, two, three layers of it, so but this is that. That is the root of everything. And the root is, for example, your families, from which is the root of your family, and that you should have. If you push out, then it will go differently. And therefore, everyone is good, all is good, but a bush is a bush, and a banyan is a banyan. Elephant is elephant, and little mouse, there is a difference, my dear. And similarly, this is the standing of persons going in this direction. But there is, if the real guru is there, that guru will give you what to do. So, it is said, the reiki makes this pencil and our hands. There is destiny, but the Guru can change it. That is my question in my life. You can't imagine how my destiny came. So, how is it going? Tomorrow, we will continue. So Vajranāḍī and Brahmrī Prāṇāyāma, and there is something more, and that is called Prāṇa. Vajranāḍī roots are going through the whole earth, and the trunk of the tree is that Vajranāḍī spine column. And steps are there, like chakras, kuṇḍalinīs, and how it's going again, but it's still said that these roots are coming from down up to the brain. And so it is said in the Bhagavad Gītā, in the 15th chapter, very first it is said so. It is the roots that are up and the branches that are down. It means that all the nerves are coming into the body. Then here, read in the Bhagavad Gītā: Namaḥ Śivāya, Namaḥ Śivāya, Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya, Har Har Bholē, Namaḥ Śivāya, Namaḥ Śivāya, Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya, Har Har Bholē. Namah Śivāya, Om Namah Śivāya. Namah Śivāya, Om Namah Śivāya. Har Har Bholē, Namah Śivāya. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai. Devādhideva, Deveśvara Mahādeva Kī Jai. Satguru Svāmī Madhavān Jī Bhagavān Kī Jai. Alak Purīṣa Mahādeva Kī Jai. Om Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ. Om.
