Practising kryja technic with Vishwaguruji

A guidance on the practice of Brahmari Prāṇāyāma.

Sit in Siddhāsana or Vajrāsana with a straight back. Place the hands on the thighs or knees, keeping the elbows straight. Bow the head to bring the chin near the collarbones. Inhale slowly through both nostrils, directing the breath into the lower abdomen. Exhale slowly through the mouth without sound. Maintain this posture and breath pattern for multiple rounds. The practice generates energy and reduces the need for sleep. Correct alignment is essential; observe others if unsure. This technique is a foundational part of yogic sādhanā.

"Only inhale through both nostrils and exhale through the mouth."

"With this sādhanā, I get such energies and breath, so my sleeping need is not anymore."

Satya Sanātan Dharma Kī Jai. Good morning, all my dear ones, all sisters, brothers. We have many beautiful children here with different faculties to learn. Children are the day of the next life, which is ours; the future is tomorrow. You had a very nice exercise, and now we have some exercise. It was good to be in our garden, but we have to be here. Perhaps if you can come to a distance a little bit, some can come here also; we have a place. Let’s say one and a half meters, half a meter—one and a half meters distance between would be good. Some can come up here. Instrument people also should be at a distance. You can sit with very beautiful postures, like we are all sitting. Siddhāsana. Do Siddhāsana. If you cannot do that, you can, of course, sit in Vajrāsana. But how long can you sit in Vajrāsana? We have this one because many of you are working beautifully. The lectures you have now and the practice you have, Sarvahitā Āsanas, is one of the best we have had. Therefore, you are very comfortable. And our anuṣṭhāna, which we are doing. As we were practicing, we are still on our Brahmari Prāṇāyāma. There are many different techniques, and now we have another technique. We should put our hands on the thighs. Make yourself straight. Straighten your back. Then bend your knee down. Bow your head so that our chin comes close to the thyroid position. Yes, there is one point of the bones, and a little to that side, our chin should come here. We give pressure on the thigh and lean a little bit forward, a little bit. And again, come up, relax. Some were not doing properly, so there is a very good one who is doing it and should show the demonstration. I will look at how you are doing. Then I will see one person who is not doing right. If you cannot understand, then look to others to see how they are doing good. Because you are many people, I cannot go there and check. So, like this, the shoulder goes a little up, and palms on the thighs or knees, and then chin near here, these bones, the collar bones. Now, again, come up. I saw a few of you doing something like this, not like that. Someone was doing. Like this, be straight like this, so our elbow should be straight, not like this. So once more, yes, and if you cannot go back, come back please again. If you cannot do it because you are doing these postures, what you are doing, so go to the knees, Vajrāsana. Then you will be very straight, very good. Good. Again, see straight. Very good. Then I will tell you, come relax up, then look a little up to the sky or the ceiling, and relax the elbows. That time, the eyes will be open, and then again you come down to the normal position. So, open, close, yes. So, don’t go like this. I saw somebody like that, only like this. Inhale and exhale. Inhale and exhale below the navel. So it means we are inhaling with the lower stomach. Not here first. First, feel in your lower breath. And then we do more. But we will only feel our breath in the underbelly. So, just like this, not like that. Like this. Look to me, and little we are forward, little. Good. Did someone not understand? Raise your hand so that we can... go into the vegetable garden. Okay, so then we are sitting like this, elbows straight, chin down, and inhale through both nostrils, and exhale through the mouth. Inhale with both nostrils, and exhale from the mouth. We will go, let’s say, 15 times. Inhale and slowly exhale. Inhale and slowly exhale. Not too long, not too quick. So, again, straight. Feel yourself relaxed. And because you know now how you are doing, therefore, you can close your eyes then. How were you doing, okay? Have you any one question? Put your hand up, so I will give you a good way. Okay, you are all good. Nobody is going to the vegetable garden. Okay, so go here, but as I saw, eyes closed, inhale through both nostrils, and exhale through the mouth, no sound, not too quick and not too long. 15 times, so again go up, take your head up. So now we will begin, so bring the chin there. Now inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Go ahead. Inhale and exhale from the level of the stomach. I hope that you were counting. Elbows should be straight. Don’t give pressure on your palms. Leave your upper arm outside, not on the back side. Good. I am sure that all of you have read it fourteen times. So, there were many people who did not read properly. This one is this girl in the orange dress beside the Matajī. She is completely wrong. Then there is one sister, a friend of mine, Darab. She was doing like this. Of course, a woman’s chest is coming like this. But it should be like this. So who was this sitting here? Who is who? You know that? What is your name? Yeah. Behind you, who is that? Yes. Yes. She was wrong. Who is that? What is your name? Who is that girl? Yeah. Yes, you. You know what? You were going like this. You should go like that. You are wrong. Anyhow, football, all we are doing, but one will kick. So, how many of you are from? Only one will be the best. So, sit like this. And if you are doing like this with the Vajrāsana, then it’s more like you are doing good, not like this. It’s like a camel. So once more, please. In our "Yoga in Daily Life" books, you did not properly learn. All Yoga in Daily Life books, they are so good. And you should always have your book beside. Even in anuṣṭhāna, and also our "Hidden Powers" book. There are many beautiful books also. So, once more. Yes, go ahead. Chin down. This one again, this girl, she’s not good, right? Yeah, go here. She should lie down. Yeah, this one. So you go ahead, please. Inhale through the nostrils. Exhale through the mouth. Inhale through the nostrils. Inhale, exhale through the chin, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale. But many are doing wrong, it doesn’t matter. But those who are doing good, they should go ahead, counting, counting. We are, okay? When you inhale, go from the nostrils; exhale through the mouth. All the time, the chin should be down on the collarbone. When you have completed fourteen rounds, then open your head up normally and breathe normally. There is some... Of course, we have taught in how many countries and in many languages. Some are learning this, what we are doing, the Kriya Nustra. And there it’s going up and down, up and down. You see? And somebody there is going by car. So I told you, chin should be here. Don’t close; open and down. Only inhale through both nostrils and exhale through the mouth. That’s all. Not like this, just from the lips, air is coming. Perhaps I will give you something, sound. Did you hear me? That is a very, very beautiful practice. And after that comes Brahmari. Many things, so this is very beautiful, and many yogīs, they are doing about one hour. And they said, "Once I had, you know, Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar. Now he’s still, but he’s old." And I was with holy Gurujīs and went with Gurujīs in New Delhi, in Delhi. There is a beautiful ashram, and so it was; it was a very hot time. So we were sleeping on the ceiling up. So there were two beds, one for Holī Gurujī and one for me. And there was the person who was the ashram of this Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar, great. And he said he will sleep on the bed, not on the bed. So Holī Gurujī said to me, "Don’t sleep on the bed, we should also lie down." And we were at a distance of about two metres. And it was about one o’clock in the night. Holi, Gurujī was sitting, making a mālā. I was sleeping. And that Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar who was sitting there, he was sitting also. But he was doing this kriyā. Beautiful. No sound. Inhale through the nostrils and exhale. Inhale. It was three hours, and then he sat up, put his head up, and he made some normal breath, and he went to the bathroom, he made it sour, and then again he sat there in meditation. Holi, Gurujī was all the time small. So Holī Gurujī said, "You were doing these kriyās." He said, "Yes, Gurujī." He said, "I don’t sleep too much, but with this sādhanā, I get such energies and breath, so my sleeping need is not anymore." Like, but we are sleeping this yoga nidrā. But he is not snoring. We are very good, all. We are very controlled, and we are very relaxed, and we are very, very good. You are the best. This is not Kriyā Śakti. So, we will do this again, either in the evening program or tomorrow again. Very nice. You can train, go under the trees somewhere, but don’t see what’s always going up and down, no. That is another kriyā. Only like this. You will see how beautiful the feeling will be, good energy. So then, after tomorrow, we will give you the other techniques, and then it will be beautiful. So now, "Nāhaṁ kartā, Mahāprabhujī kartā, Mahāprabhujī kartā, he kevalam." Oṁ śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ. The sound will come, beautiful, relaxed. So this, all our yogic—you did not read our books properly. So this is very good in our sādhanā, and so it is, it all. Namo Nārāyaṇa. Belitrim, that’s it. How very good, good, perfect. You like it. That’s good. We will now have to go for prasāda. Every good, all right. And also, after eating, we can do this also. Then this gas comes out because after eating, we are tired, and so this is very good, this kriyā. Adiós.
