We now have so many programs that we have no time for walking. In our exercises, after walking, we need to stretch our muscles; stretching is very much needed. Running, football, skiing—these are all very good exercises. But after them, one should do yoga exercises. Then the whole nervous system will be very good, the muscles will become more relaxed, and so will the joints of the body. Today you walked for about one and a half hours, which is very nice and also good for digestion. Nature has given us something to eat throughout: there were some fruits, real fruits—small but powerful. And all our brothers and sisters of yoga from different countries walked together; it was very nice. In the past, we all went for walks here, and it was beautiful. I thought we could make a lake somewhere; we have a little bit here, but the time will come to clean very much. After all these exercises we do, we must practice yoga. If we come from activities like football, running, dreaming? [SPEAKER_00:en: "dreaming" likely a misstatement] swimming, plavanie—many are good. But then we come to yoga sitting, and it’s not good to sit immediately after, because then we are much harder. So one should not sit like that right after. After some exercises that are not enough, we sit a little and do prāṇāyāmas and like this. When you were walking there in the forest, with very nice greens, we were inhaling and exhaling oxygen for the lungs. We filled our lungs with it, and automatically we were inhaling and exhaling through the mouth. So when we have problems in the heart and lungs, then we inhale and exhale, inhale, and we come back into life. We will do a couple of such deep breaths and exhales, and it will bring us back to life. You know that in yoga and in life, our exercises are perfect. We will do them in a good way, slowly. When we give the instructions, that is called Bārikatu Praṇām. And how many points? 27. They are very good, all stretchings and everything comfortably, like walking, hiking—everywhere we were running, and then we are a little bit stiff. So now we will put your things on one side, then our side. If you have some money, give it to me here. Chocolates, also give them to me here. Perfect, it will be very, very good. You have your yoga mat, so stretch your yoga mat. If someone is too sloped down, then come here somewhere, because it’s not good to be a little bit sloped down. All should be in good lines, because we are in our whole world. Okay, if somebody has chewing in their mouth, put it out. Chewing, chewing, chewing. Very good. Now we need two very good teachers. At this time, we would need two good yoga teachers who will give us instructions, and that person will be moving so we can tell if somebody is doing it wrong. We will bring it to correct exactly. He will walk among other people. If someone does something wrong, he will correct it. Bārikatu Bārikatu is very powerful. It is especially our Gurudeva Bhagavān Mahāprabhujī’s āśram there. It is also his place; he was born there. Many people are very good. So I gave this, Bārī Khaṭū Praṇām. Bārī is big. Khatu is that village, Bari Khatu. And we send our praṇām. We offer praṇām to Gurujī, praṇām to the city. Praṇām is a greeting to Gurujī, the city. There is a very beautiful... what is that, like a river, not even like a mountain? But that fountain, people are beautiful, very good stones there. But there is a beautiful stone there. And now they are taking everything out. People are now taking it out of the mountain. They have sent it to other countries for a long time. And that is not good. They have destroyed everything. But still we say it is bad. So, who is pleased, two, one or two? One of the students, please get up. Or it can be three. Is there anybody who knows Bārikatu Praṇām? Nobody. Then I will give you another exercise. You will say, “Stand on the head and hold in the tree.” So, Bodhichathu, please come. Yoga teacher, come, yes. One, two, stand there. Thank you, you stay there, yeah? Yeah, first come here, please. Three persons. Come here, please. Without a mat, you will run everywhere. Make the correct persons, okay? So, come here, here, here. So now, we will say, from one of these, you tell, please, which is the posture. Vajrāsana. So, please give them somebody speaking. Speaker, should I put it out? Yeah, they are preparing very good. Yeah, so it means that you have to have a good voice. I want to know what you are talking about. Don’t talk like, you know, you are now in a New Zealand fizzy, or where are you, America? We don’t want to speak from there, we want to speak here from the heart, that is our time, okay? No, everything is very good. So, please say something. Welcome, everybody, and now we are going to do the Bārikatu Praṇām. As Viśvagurujī instructed, please sit down in Vajrāsana. Get ready, and let’s slowly start. Hands on your thighs. Please close your eyes, and focus on Bārikatā Praṇām. You can also visualize the sequence. Greet the Master, and let’s slowly start. So with inhale, raise your arms up, not too quickly, okay. Stretch up, make sure your arms are stretched, clasp your hands, and with exhale bend down, Śaśāṅkāsana, and enjoy breathing. We don’t give the Sāṅkhya, Sāṅkhya āsana, okay? Only Bārīkhāṭū. No other names. Yeah, so after that, we came here walking. One and a half hours through the forest. And now we came here to our yoga in their life. And this bārikatu praṇām. That is what, so, Bāṛīkhāṭu Praṇām. So now you should know that we are stretching. We are sitting in Vajrāsana. And Vajra means the iron, so this is, Vajra is the iron. Strong. And this Vajra is for our body, and that is the spinal column, where it is going with all the cakras, from the Mūlādhāra cakra to the Sahasrāra cakra, and down there are other cakras. This is about the animal chakras and the earth, where our balance is on the earth. So these are our chakras, which are through and through from the earth. From our toes until our head, there is one hair on the top there, Bindu. And then it comes to the Sahasrāra Cakra. So, with our stretching, we mean relaxing. Inhalation, exhalation, nicely, not like that, very soft. And don’t go quickly. Just we should stay in the posture, and we see our stretch, our lungs, our chest, and we look a little up, or we... Are going down, that which we are coming, that is 27, and it’s in table 7 is Bārikatu Praṇām, and we are making Anuṣṭhāna here. And for them, this is very, very good. When we go to the practice, two or three times make Bāṛīkhāṭū Praṇām. One or two in the middle. And after, when you have finished everything, again this Bārikhāṭu Praṇām. So, the Vajranāḍī is that which makes ourselves standing, and the roots from the Vajranāḍī are coming down to our navel. Každá pozícia. And the students here, our yoga teachers, they should come and tell them, “Stay, house stretch, not good. Don’t see that they are doing.” When somebody’s house is there, then please come here and make it correct. So, again, begin very relaxed, comfortable, seated in Vajrānāḍī, Vajrānāḍī. And the teachers are only looking like this. Come and hold it here and get it straight. It’s a training, and don’t be like this. They should go down this and head up. That heart is reading. If you want to control a horse like this, don’t go like a horse like that. That is her running, her running. It’s not good like that. You are, half you are standing. Our horse is sitting there comfortably. How nice it is. Help them, please, once more. So get ready. One instruction, please. Nobody give instruction. Same, otherwise they will hold the knife standing in there. One should say, “Yes, one, two, three.” Okay, I think you should come, somebody else. This lady is very soft.
