You are a good yogī, and you have a good family. Many significant events are occurring, such as the future president’s visit. We have traveled many times to many countries, very often to India for numerous conferences. He is a very humble, kind, and peaceful person. We have many Slovenians here. Are there any Slovenian hands up, please? Very good. You as well. One more. Okay, thank you. So, my dears, everyone is present. You will now open the discussion, not with just a few words, but by sharing how yoga manifests in daily life around the world and the direction in which we are progressing. Please talk about what yoga is like in your daily life globally. Praṇām Swāmījī. Our Guru Paramparā includes Śrī Allāk Purījī, Śrī Mahāprabhujī, Gurujī, and Viśwa Gurujī. Just two days ago in this place, the General Assembly of Yoga in Daily Life International also took place. Swamiji spoke extensively about the importance of our international work and endeavors. I think you all remember in 2015 when our great conference was held at the United Nations headquarters in Vienna, with over 200 delegates from across the world and distinguished guests. Some may think such conferences are a waste of time, merely gatherings for speeches. However, a very important moment occurred at the entrance to the conference hall. When His Holiness Vishwagurujī stood at the entrance of the International Hall, he paused for a minute, looked inside, and said, "Now I have brought my guru, Śrī Svāmī Madhavānandajī, to the United Nations." This is a profound message for all of us to understand what Guru Kṛpā (grace) is, what Guru Vākya (the guru's word) is, and what our purpose is in this lifetime. Wherever we go, whatever we do, whatever our thoughts are, we are spreading the message and knowledge of our Guru Paramparā, brought to us by Viśva Gurujī. I wish us all a very nice and precious satsaṅg. Thank you, Viśwa Gurujī, for this opportunity. Thank you very much. I wish you all a beautiful satsaṅg and thank you for the chance to say a few words here. Thank you, Viśwa Gurujī. Thank you, Sugandh Purījī. Do you know what Sugandha is? Can someone raise their hand? Do you know what Sugandha is? One person knows, some more? Oh my God, two. And one, three. I will give you something. What is this? Not a flower. Smell it. Sugandha. Where there is Sugandha, there is no negativity. Do you smell it from the hand? We have this, and we bring it close to the nostrils. Sugandha. When the fragrance is for one, it perfumes all. So, Sugandha also means a good person, good words, good respect, good help—giving to everyone. It makes the whole house, the whole street, the whole city, the whole forest fragrant. As it was coming from the front into the forest, it becomes Sugandha. Look at our trees. Do you have any here? Some trees smell very bad. There are others we don’t like, some people. The grass we are sitting on, which is also a life, has a smell. And after all, there is only one source of fragrance. Where is the Sugandha? That is the mother, Mother Earth. The whole world, everywhere—earth, stones, anything—gives off a smell. So, Sugandha also means we should become very clean, pure, spiritual, and great saints. In our language, we call it scent. There is a scent, and that scent is present. As I have said many times this year, in Krona there is a very bad smell. I meant a very fine smell, so I said perfume. This perfume is very subtle. Sometimes people apply it on their dress here, a little here, a little there. Everyone says, "Oh, it smells very good." Those who do not have a good smell—their eating habits are not proper, they do not eat well. They go to the office after eating, and food remains in their teeth, they only do this [gestures]. When you come near someone, there is a little warmth and not a good smell. You know that? Now, because I want to talk about our Kuṇḍalinī and our chakras, and you have introduced the topic, I will begin with the chakras. So, beginning now about this Kuṇḍalinī, chakras, etc. The smell comes from outside. Some have no smell at all. This is very important. Those who are very fine and good, eating only grass, fruits, birds, or animals—not eating any animals or such things—have a good smell. For example, when cows are given good food without any additives, and you see cow dung, it smells good, dries very well. Then people use it for pūjā and also place it in rooms. In Germany, people often say that those coming from India bring cow dung. But that cow drinks water, goes into the forest, and eats only good greenery. If you give them feed, various kinds of cereals, salt, and corn, and all that we eat, from chapatis to many weeds, it will smell very bad. Then the cows will not be so good. Similarly, humans who eat all sorts of things, seeds for our bread, and you know how bad the smell of humans can be when they drink alcohol and eat meat. Then your bathroom can have very bad smells. So, it is a different matter. I don’t want to go too far; we should try to eat more greenery. If you have a cow near your house, on your farm, there will be no earthquake at that point, or lightning. Where the cow is, see that if any cow is broken, you die in that. Yes? No electric line will fall there. If you think more, sometimes, "Oh my God, Swāmījī, what can I do? I can’t sleep. I have some ghost, or I don’t know, I’m all light." You know some people are like this? There is a ghost, or someone is going into another, someone is going into another’s, I’m knocking on my door, I see there is nobody—people are all very, how do you say, afraid. And there is no problem, there is no problem, but it is. Holy Gurujī gave a beautiful story. There was a little village like Strelka, with a house about 200 meters away. In this village, there was a daughter, a girl from this village. In Brno, there was a boy. Their parents arranged a nice marriage here in Střílky. The girls were very great, very nice. And that, what you said, is a beautiful girl. Who is not a beautiful woman? If you say this person does not have a good face, it means your eyes are not good. Yes, every woman is a mother because every woman is a mother, and a mother is beautiful. And boys, or the husband, are like gold. Golden is a lady. You know, sometimes there are golden ladies. Do you know why the golden ladies? Someone told me, I don’t know if it’s real or not, but a long time ago when kings were there, and they visited friends, many old kings came. The king would stop at the door where people were welcoming them. At the door, when they were coming, welcoming them, there would be naked women covered in gold powder, their eyes and lips adorned. They stood as golden women, but it is said these girls would die after a few hours. I don’t know; someone told me from friends. I’m sorry, I did not see; otherwise, they would not let me go to the friends. So they said, "Don’t talk about women; they are not good girls." So, ladies are gold, ladies. And the men, nobody told me about the men, but they are like the sun, sparkling and beautiful in every condition. So, beauty is inside, and in one’s happiness to see, yes, this is a person, my good person. When someone says, "Okay, this girl is very good," and after 20, 40 years, she’s not so good, and the man says, "I will go away," these are stupid things. Because God has made it, and God did the best. If there was a mistake, then the doctor will fix it. Yes, doctor. Holy Gurujī said, "Next to God is the doctor." So please never say anything bad about ladies; they are not just women, not just friends, but my mother. When we all say mother, and when we all say "matka," then we will all function well together. If you don’t know where women should be and how men should be, our women are now free. But there are some countries where people keep women only in the room. If they go out, they make the clothes. This happened. In the beginning, it was not so. But then it is said people wanted to take the ladies away, so from a very young age, they put clothes like this. Still in India, Hindus, yes, the ladies sit like this. Oh my God, yes, Bābjī, Gurujī. My dear, I don’t want to say only in India, but in other countries as well, everywhere. But those who are very intelligent are learning and very good. So don’t think that man is good and woman is not good. No. Many times, they didn’t want to give government politics and then give tickets. The women did not do it; only men did. But now we have women who are presidents, prime ministers. Why not? Great. We have progressed, but inside we don’t know what to do. Can you put them off? This boy, who is all the time—when we are working, he is making "turr, turr..." every time. When I’m in the hall, they are putting... even when I’m in the hall, they also start drilling. And when friends come to us for food at home, then, you know, in our house: husband, wife, children, and some friends. Are you coming into the house? Then you know how nicely they are cooking. Nice smell, good friend, everything. Yes, that is respect. That’s good, but inside, I don’t know. One is not a good person. He doesn’t like, only he thinks, ha, ha, but inside is nothing. Then, touching the chakras. Some people, they make, somehow when, make the toilet. From fear, someone has constipation, some have vomiting, many things that you know from inside, because this person is not happy, and they think, "I am not good," and then they say, "I cannot, at night I cannot sleep." Don’t do like this. There is nothing. Holy Gurujī said nothing, but still, when it is dark, we are all afraid. They say, "Night, don’t go near the big tree, there’s a ghost standing." No, no. Because there is the sun, there is the moon. And the little moon reflects near the tree and says, "Oh, the ghost is there." So, this is... don’t think like that. Clean everything. Clean. You are good. And if you think there is a ghost, then go to the ghost and say, "Hello, friend. And what is?" The moon, then all your problems are gone. But still, we humans are who we are. Nearly four years ago, when we went to the Himalayas, there were telephones. Some telephones are not allowed in different countries. So, no satellite phone should be there. In some countries, no. One of our Bhaktas had a satellite phone because his family is here and he is in another country. He was mailing a telephone to his wife and child. It is written in India that this telephone should not be there, but it was not written at the airport, so they didn’t know. We were in the Himalayas for two days, and on the third day, due to certain issues—you know, there are people who have very big problems—I always have police with me. Wherever I go, there are five or ten policemen with me, day and night. The next morning, about ten policemen were there. They said there was a satellite here. I said, "No." We said, "No." But they said it’s a point there. Our friend who was there said, "Yes, yes, I have this here." Oh, you are there? Yes, because I am from there, and this and that. Then they said, "Okay, please come with the police." It took three to four days from where we were. He said, "Yes, it is my child, my son." Apart from that, nothing is there. They said, "Yes, sir, they were very nice." But sir, we are not here to have this. So, there were two, three days, all paperwork, and then our friend came, and they said, "Thank you very much." They gave him a good place and food, but in the beginning, it was already evening, 10 o’clock, and they gave him a place to sleep in the police station, very nice. They gave him a place to sleep, but another person there said, "No, we don’t want him in your room." In Badrinath, there are no hotels at night, nothing. He was coming from Badrināth to Halakpurījī, about 10 kilometers, no light, no torchlight, he couldn’t see where to go. There are tigers, leopards, and many animals. He was very strong, our friend, but once he saw something. He had no light, no stick, nothing, but he was very strong. He said, "It will be okay, Swamijī is there." There was a little light from me, and he said, "Okay, my life is with Swamiji." He came and said, "Yes, I was a little bit, I don’t know which path to take. There’s a creek, also many waters." So we humans are also not so, how to say, very strong. So there are many things. That man, from his and his wife came here, but that time I’m talking about India, only giving the name of history. When the girls go to his home, then she will not come to her husband inside his house, and it... Was distance always? So there were about 50 or 100 people there. They had some program. They said, "Where can my daughter’s husband sleep?" A very nice house, room, we will put it here. Nobody there, only here. One boy went with him, saw the bed and everything. There is some big... not a blanket. So there is something; we are putting things on it. The house is like only this, but we have not concrete, but... They brought him about 11 o’clock and said, "Please, you can sleep. Here’s the water and this dress, everything. If you need something, we will come and give it to you." I’m talking about people who are always, oh, I don’t know, you know, many people still have problems. Then we go to doctors, and the doctor gives you tablets. Then lie down, like this, because that is the only thing that will not go out from our brain. That man was very like this. About midnight, one o’clock in the morning, the moon was coming. From the moon came some light into his house through the roof tiles. The tiles are like this. In the moonlight, it came exactly near his bed. There was something very nice, one bought like this. They put things very good, and like this, and one cloth is there also. He was not sleeping because, oh my God, I’m alone, all are there, and I’m gone. He put his hand like this, but still, coming a little close to the light, he began to be scared. Then he said he was calling, "Please, please, please." The door is locked. A few people came. "Friend, friend, please open the door." He said, "I cannot, because the ghost is sitting on my chest." Please, carefully. My God. How is that? He said he has nails, because that was the wind’s block. He said, "Please, please, help me, help me." There were good, strong boys here. One boy sitting there, one down. They said, "Oh my God, my sister’s husband, they will kill it, my ghost." They said, "Open the door." It cannot. So they had a side window. The strong boys broke the window. He said, "Cry, cry," and then he fell down through the windows. About 25 people were standing, but no one wanted to go inside. Yes, nobody goes. Where is the ghost? There, up there. Really, everybody. What can we do? They don’t want to go away, don’t want to come closer. Well, some paṇḍit, you know who is a paṇḍit? Spiritual something. He said, "I will give mantra." He was making some mantra, this, this. Ghost, this doesn’t go. Gaṅgā water, to throw Gaṅgā water. A lot of Gaṅgā water? No. Then said, "Fire, pūjā, nothing." Everything. Now, there’s my God. Such a ghost, my God. They all see him standing and eyes. In that village, there was a great spiritual guru or master, let’s say like Umāpurī. That very good person doesn’t think like that. He knows there is no ghost, nothing like this. The pandit and he came. "Why are you crying? The whole city, people cannot sleep. There is a ghost." He said, "There is no ghost." He said, "Every time you said there is no, but now you see your grandfather’s ghost." He said, "There is no ghost," and he said, "A ghost?" So he said, "Do you have the key? The second key? It’s okay to open the door. Come all in." "No, we don’t go in." He opened it, and what was there? The bed clothes and moonlight. Really? Oh yes, we have sun here. Others said, "Yes, we think like that." Everybody said it was a ghost, but only he said it was a ghost. Others said, "He said it’s a ghost." And then, the odds were gone, so it means fear. It’s only your fear. Take your fear out. Then you will be happy, healthy, everything. All psychic problems will be gone. That is the way. Therefore, when you want to have Kuṇḍalinī or achieve any kind of thing, don’t make people think that this chakra is very bad and that chakra is good. No, no. So don’t tell anyone this chakra is good, this is bad, and so on. In our yoga books, old people learn from those books, real guru disciples. So this gave me, Guruji, this story. He told Mahāprabhujī, and so. So, my dears, don’t be afraid. But afraid is one thing. Don’t drive the car quickly. If you come quickly home, you go, and if you go slowly, maybe it is a 10-minute distance. So, therefore, don’t drive cars and things like mopeds recklessly. So from the ghost, no problems. The problem is from the machines.
