We now have so many programs that we have no time left for walking. In our exercises, what we did after walking is essential. After walking, we must bring our own muscles and nervous systems into stretching, which is very much needed. Running a great deal is also very good, as is football. There are many exercises, as they are called. This kind is very good, very nice. But after that, one should practice yoga exercises. Then the whole nervous system will be very good, and the muscles will become relaxed again, along with the joints of the body. Today, you worked for about one and a half hours walking. That is very nice, also for digestion. Nature provided something for us to eat there as well—some fruits, real fruits, small but powerful. Also, all our brothers and sisters of yoga from different countries walked together. It was very nice. I was thinking we could make a lake somewhere. We have a little bit here, but the time will come to clean it thoroughly. After all these exercises we do, we must practice yoga. Now, if we come from all kinds of exercises—football, running, swimming, many good things—and then come to sitting for yoga, it is not good because then we are much stiffer. One should not sit like that immediately after. Some exercises are not sufficient, so we sit a little and do prāṇāyāma and similar practices. When you were walking there in the forest among the very nice greenery, we were inhaling and exhaling oxygen for the lungs very nicely. We were automatically inhaling and exhaling through the mouth. When we have problems with the heart and lungs, we inhale and exhale, inhale, and then we come back into life. You know that in yoga, in life, our exercises are perfect. We will do them in a good way, slowly. When we give the instructions, if we do them in a good way, slowly, and give good instructions for it, then the best exercise is Bārikhāṭu Praṇām. How many points are there? Twenty-seven. How many positions are there? Twenty-seven. They are very good—all stretchings and everything, comfortable, like after walking. Hiking, everywhere we were running, then we are a little stiff. So it means now we will put your things on one side, 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 out your yoga mat. If someone is too slow, then come here somewhere. It will be a bit big because it’s not good, a little slanted down. Everything should be in good lines because we are in our whole world. Okay? If somebody has chewing gum in their mouth, put it out. Chewing, chewing, chewing. Very good. Now we need two very good teachers who will give instruction, and that person will be moving. So we will tell how, if somebody is doing it wrong, we will bring it to correction, exactly. Bārikhāṭu. Bārikhāṭu is very powerful. It is especially from our Gurudev Bhagavān Mahāprabhujī’s āśram there. In that area is the āśram of our Mahāprabhujī. It is also his place; he was born there. Many people there are very good. So I gave this Bārikhāṭu Praṇām. "Bari" means big. "Khatu" is that village, and we send praṇām. We praṇām to Gurujī, praṇām to the city. Praṇām is a greeting to Guruji and the city. There is a very beautiful... what is that, like a river, not a river, like a mountain. But the fountains, people are beautiful, very good stones there. And now they are taking everything out. They launch very much and send it to other countries. That is not good. It has broken everything, but still we say it’s Bālikhāṭu. So, who is it, please? Two or one or two? One of the students, please get up. Or can it be three? Is there anybody here who knows the Bārikhāṭu Praṇām? Nobody. Then I will give you another exercise. You will say, "Stand on the head and hold in the tree." So, Bārikhāṭu, please come. Yoga teacher, come. One, two, stand there. Thank you, you stay there. First, come here, please. Three persons, come here, please. Without a mat, you will run everywhere. You will correct the persons, okay? So, come here, yeah. Now we will say, from one of these, you tell please, which is the posture. Which kind of posture? We call it Vajrāsana. Vajrāsana. So, please give them somebody speaking. Speaker, should I put it out? They are preparing very well, so it means that you have to have a good voice. I want to know what you are saying. Don’t talk like you are now in New Zealand, or where are you, America. We don’t want to speak there. We want to speak here from Strelky. That is our time. Everything is very good, so please say something. "Welcome, everybody, and now we are going to do the Bārikhāṭu Praṇām. As Viśwa Gurujī instructed, please sit down in Vajrāsana. Get ready, and let’s slowly start. Hands on your thighs. Please close your eyes. And focus on Bārikhāṭu 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. 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 śaśāṅkāsana, okay? Only Bārikhāṭu. No other names. No other names. Only Bārikhāṭu for now. Thank you. Three. Four. Five. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, sixteen,... Eleven, twelve, twelve,... thirteen, thirteen,... thirteen. Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six. Twenty-seven. In this, we came after walking one and a half hours through the forest, and now we came here for two hours of yoga in their life. This Bārikhāṭu Praṇām has all 27 positions. This is stretching our bodies, not quickly. Also, breathe nicely. Balance, relax. Breath. That is what Bārikhāṭu Praṇām is. Now you should know that we are stretching. We are sitting in Vajrāsana, and Vajra means the iron. So this Vajra is iron, strong. And this Vajra is for our body. That is the spinal column, where it is going with all the chakras. From the Mūlādhāra chakra to the Sahasrāra chakra, and down there are other chakras. This is about the animal chakras and the earth. Where is our balance? We are on the earth. So these are our chakras, which go through and through from our toes until there is one hair on the top there. From the fingers on the feet to the highest point on the head. And then it comes to the Sahasrāra Chakra. So with our stretching, it means relaxing, inhalation, exhalation nicely, not like that. Very soft. And don’t go quickly. Just stay in the posture. We see our stretch, our lungs, our chest, and we look a little up. Or we are going down. That which we are coming to, that is 27, and it’s in table 7, is Bārikhāṭu Praṇām. We are making Anuṣṭhāna here, and for them this is very, very good. When we go to the practice, do baddhakoṇāsana praṇāma two or three times. Do one or two in the middle of the practice. And after, when you have finished everything, again this baddhikoṭu praṇāma. So the Vajranāḍī, Vajranāḍī is that which makes our self standing. The roots from Vajranāḍī come down to our navel. Every posture is stretching, and then we can, we are also stretching. Animals are stretching, snakes are stretching. So, how do we sit? Now these three or four of our students here, our yoga teachers, they should come and tell them, "Stay, house straight, not good. Don’t see that they are doing." When somebody’s house is there, then please... Come here and correct it. So again, begin very relaxed, comfortable. Feel stress, Vajranāḍī, Vajrā, Vajranāḍī. That is a stretch, our spell called. I will see if there are any students here or not, okay? Who will make? Okay, good. Good teachers are over there. I see that teachers are only looking like this. Come and hold it here and get it straight. It’s a training. Don’t be like this. They should go down and head up. That heart’s reading, and the heart’s like this. Don’t go like the heart’s like this. That’s her running. It’s not good like that. You are half, you are standing. Our horse is sitting there comfortably. How nice it is. You see, in these Western countries here, many, many beautiful statues of horses. Oh my God, that’s it. You are more than that. Come on, girls, boys, students, construct, help them, please. Once more. So, get ready. One instruction, please. Nobody give instruction, same otherwise they will hold standing in there. One should say, "Yes, one, two, three." I think you should come. Somebody else, this lady is very soft. Yeah, two positions, but now everyone. All should go down at the same time and up at the same time. Yes, relax the back, relax the area between the shoulders. Your elbows should remain on the floor. Move forward. Chin, palms, knees, and toes are touching the floor. Cross the fingers behind the head. Move. Lift your legs up, try to strengthen your knees. Knees looking upward, move your palms on the floor and your legs on the floor too, but that was not right. Some push, look, then go up. Some are going like this, some were like this. I want to have, like, my horse, very good. Moving upward again, the horse was tired. Keep the heels and whole palms on the floor and push slightly towards the palms to straighten the back. Move the right leg forward. Again, it was like the goats are grazing. You have... You see? Look forward. Cross your forearm behind the body. You see, now he’s going, the other is going, the other left hand is on the wrong side, the other is like, this is different. So it means you were too tired on the farm, in the forest. Please, hold and taste like well, we can eat a hrudnik, and the knee should not touch like this. Stretch, okay? Not young, yes. Yes, now that was not easy to know. He, that’s very good. She’s good.

Again, there is a beautiful stretching from our throat to our chest, our stomach, our joints, our thighs. And next. Next, that is, many people can do it properly, very good, but many cannot. I have practiced for many years, but I cannot bend completely down. So, when this exercise is to move you, I sit down and say, "Hello, do good." But please do not do too hard, as much as you can. Next, yeah. Oh, very good. And now our whole spine is very nice, very, very good. Elbows straight, yeah. Go a little up, up. Every morning now, as it is, you are with the hands and left side stretching, very good, and other side, thank you. You know everybody, but I think every day first we should do this: stand up and extend your arms. So now, this is again, we come further. Next posture. Yes, Yogī, instruction please. The back should be straight, and some of you move your arms too much upward. Move them a little bit closer to the body. Next posture, please control the position of your knee.
