Our uniform is important

Cherish each moment and the fellowship of spiritual practice.

Time is profoundly precious; a single second can contain a full life, for the vital force departs and returns in an instant. These days were spent in peaceful, communal spiritual practice, distinct from worldly gatherings. A designated holy tree holds great sanctity and power, a focal point for the community's shared vibrations. The environment was embraced in all conditions, and meaningful techniques were shared for sustained practice. Nurturing the next generation is essential; children should be raised with good education and non-violence, ensuring the continuity of spiritual values in daily life. Maintain alertness in all activities, as inherent awareness connects all beings.

"Every second is precious. One can live a life in even one second."

"Be alert, and so we are. You find it, and so that was also everything."

Śrī Deep Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān kī Devadhī Dev, Dev Puruṣa Mahādeva kī Ārādhī Bhagavān Śrī Deep Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī kī Sadguru Svāmī Madhavānanjī Bhagavān kī Alak Purījī Mahādeva kī Satya Sanātana Dharma kī Oṁ Hari Oṁ. We have had very beautiful days. We still have time, do not worry. We shall hold even one second in our Gurudeva, Mahāprabhujī. Each and every second is extremely precious. One can live a life in even one second, because when the prāṇa, the ātmā, or the jīva departs, it also returns very quickly. Every second is precious. Even a tiny drop of water is very important. During these six days, and now the approaching seventh, our time was so peaceful and spiritual. With our many brothers and sisters, our yoga students, we were so happy. Often, people hold seminars, but they cannot have as much joy as we do. Some may make jokes or go somewhere to drink, but we were doing everything 100% spiritually. We were on Mother Earth, in her land. We worked, we went to the garden, we did our exercises. We had a very nice time when it was cold, with fires in two or three places—it was so beautiful. The most beautiful was our one tree, which we have designated as the holy tree. When Holy Gurujī first came, all the Czechoslovakians and others called him "Holy Gurujī." That same sanctity is over that tree, and immense power resides within it, like mothers and fathers. How nice it was. Many people sat under the tree, and we thought, "We should do something." We had very pure things, only good things to drink. We ate milk, yogurt, and other things. The people there, we called it a cafeteria, and many were helping. We all sat there like a family, and we are a family. Sitting under that beautiful tree was like a child in the lap of the mother. Take a very nice picture of this tree. There was a very strong spiritual vibration; otherwise, I would not sit there. I would go for a while and leave. So, when you go tomorrow, do not just say goodbye to Mother Tree. Touch that tree for blessing, and whenever you come, you may dream sometimes due to that purity. Trees are also like humans. We had beautiful days—sometimes white and hot, sometimes cold, windy, or rainy. We enjoyed everything. We also had beautiful techniques. I thought I would now do Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras and all this, and it will be for a long time. Some have given me very nice questions. Janakānandā from Prague, my disciple for many years by Mahāprabhujī’s blessings—she is very healthy and good—was asking, "Swāmījī, how and where should we do those practices which Sukh told?" This is for everyone, and it was very important and good that she asked me. In this way, our life should go on long, always with brothers and sisters like this. Bring more and more children. Please make more children—five, six, at least, or seven—because we must have yoga in daily life for the next generation. We will have a very nice time here for children. How happy these children were. Our children, their eyes are always watching, and they always want to come sit in satsaṅg. Your children come from you, from your ātmā. We should give our children good education, no animal killing, and not like that. You see, our children are very peaceful. When I said a little chocolate is coming, you know, I always have something for them in any direction. How did it come? Suddenly. Your children are beautiful, golden, more than anything. Please take care of your children very well. Take care of everything, and give instructions on what to do and what not to do. There were three or four children, I think. They went at lunchtime, but these children are so nice. They speak so nicely and pronounce everything well because the parents have done well. These children will further bring up their own children nicely; they will be great. So, my dears, we will do a lecture, we will talk, but I was so happy to tell you something. I was never here in Strelka in those months and days before. For myself, how many times I had no time. But it was joy. There is some instrument somewhere, and it is just trrr, trrr, and from around, from different countries—yes. This telephone was somewhere, maybe, I don’t know. It will be. So these trees and this television, and in many, many places—Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Canada, America, all here, India, everywhere. When I sleep, I don’t make a sign. Anytime you can ring, and I will answer, because when the sun is shining there, it is midnight here. But when I need, they will also sleep, but they will also come to me. For example, you are sleeping, swimming, running, playing football, eating, making jokes, horse riding, or lying down again in the afternoon. But there is one thing for us: our breath. Very nicely inhaling, exhaling, inhaling, exhaling. When we dive in the water, we know exactly we have to come out again because we need the breath. So it is with the mother. There is a child in the womb. She is sleeping, or not sleeping, or walking, etc. But the embryo in the body has all its functions going on, and that mother knows what is happening. When she’s sleeping, suddenly something is in your womb. Only two know: that baby and the mother. The mother knows. That is very important. Be alert, and so we are. You find it, and so that was also everything. Our whole time these months and everywhere, I am completely, very thinking about all. And you too, we are alert. We are alert. You are very intelligent, very good people. You work very much, and nobody will tell you what is your profession. No one asks. And the very people in politics and this and that, many, many, they are... But here, all are sitting just like very humble brothers and sisters. So in our seminars, we live so relaxed. We don’t care about anything. If I have to make my makeup and this and then making that, I don’t know. We are going and taking the earth, and our dress is just like... Our dress, which we have—this: how many years? I was asking many people in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Canada, London, America, here in Europe. I asked, "Which color would you like?" In America, Australia, Canada, even here, what color do you like? And this color of our Yoga in Daily Life was popular everywhere. But some people, they always have again black colors or dead colors. Okay, if they like, they do. Otherwise, we should have our color. That is called the Yoga in Daily Life. In Yoga in Daily Life, in these colors, we have made so much mantra. I had one paṇḍit who was there, and he said that it is one of the beautiful colors of these spiritual colors, and he gave a lot of mantras for it. So when we come to yoga class, to satsaṅgs, then we should have this, our uniform. You see that every country, everyone, they have their police, their uniform. So when that uniform is on, then one says, "Yes, it’s a policeman." And you know that when the policeman has his uniform, there are two things he will not do. If they do, they will go inside and then do it. They don’t smoke and drink alcohol in uniform. That’s it. Maybe they smoke and such, they will go somewhere and sit in another place, not showing in public in their uniform. And nobody will tell the police how it is, like this. Because when you take this cloth, this uniform, there is a completely other energy, power, understanding—many things that we should know. Similarly, when you come to our Yoga in Daily Life centers with all our brothers and sisters, and with what Swāmījī has given, this uniform, automatically we should have it and come. Some will say, "No, yeah, and why not?" So it means they still did not understand. You see, we have our skin, and our skin is beautiful. We are always cleaning our skin beautifully. So at that time, we should have this uniform. So, uniform is very, very important. For example, me. Maybe when I’m going swimming, then I have little trousers inside. Or when it is very cold, or at this time, then I wear these other colors. Long ago, it all happened in Czechoslovakia. There was snow, and we wanted to go somewhere, so I said, "No, no, we go through the hill." That time I had trousers; I made the trousers, so sometimes I put on trousers, but also in my color. This is why these sannyāsīs—what color is that? Then it is said, oh yes, this is a sannyāsī. Otherwise, they take some kind of dress, uniform, and then after they take it off, the other dress, and we don’t know who is who. So it should not be like that. I was somewhere in Mancini, but I don’t want to tell that. So they have some other dress in the temple or in the church, and then after, not. But there are mostly many who have something in their dress so that they know this is from the... That’s it. So we have to take this something. And then we know what is our way, our path. So we should not be ashamed of our uniform. And if you are like this, then it means you still don’t know. Then, still, you are only like this. Yes, that’s it. But you have here many, all of you. We have now a very nice dress, very good. It looks very beautiful and very nice, complete. And we don’t want to have, in yoga, what many yoga people now in many countries, in India also, make—little, what is that called, yeah, little, very short. It is not good. So we have long; why not let our cloth down? When we fold down, then the buttocks are there. And someone says this color underwear, and that is underwear. Yeah, we are yogīs, many sādhus, they are all in language, nothing else. Yeah, but that is theirs. But otherwise, it’s different. So we live well, but we should not be this keen out. We should always have proper dress. Doesn’t matter if others do; let them do. Just like this, very important. Yes, sometimes they’re doing something like this, and they have only half buttocks inside. I’m sorry, I don’t want to go so long. I don’t want to give you this or everything. So, you are all very, very good people. I love—I didn’t see one person here. In our ashrams, there were about 800, 900, 1,000 people, but very nice. And that is because this is your prāṇa, your power. So, you are a yogī. That yogī is inside, and we will... Make more good people, good students, so your children make good children. Your husband or your wife, you should be together without fighting this and that. There was a question about this, and I wanted to tell this, because when I came there, these are the three or four techniques. The Aśvinī Mudrā, you should do every day eleven times after washing and doing everything, and then before eating we should do this five times. From the navel and go ahead, how many steps will you get? So many steps are there till it comes from both nostrils, all sound that way. So all these cakras go together. Yes, from Mūlādhāra, and that is the Aśvinī Mudrā. That is also, so there begins from our Mūlādhāra, and then going from Mūlādhāra, and further, this all going through in that, and so from there we should begin. And then, what we are going from the navel? Because that is the point, and in that, it is from that going. So all cakras are going with two cakras: Mūlā and Svādhiṣṭhāna. Svādhiṣṭhāna and these two are already taking out when we are saying, "Ah, it’s coming in." So you should try to learn, from time to time or every day, Aśvinī Mudrā. Aśvinī Mudrā, when then it is all in the Sahasrāra Cakra. This is what Kuṇḍalinī is, how it is. And that’s why we will do peacefully, and we will—I will try to every day. I will not have a lecture here now. But maybe I will only do it with only my telephone. It will go to our Swamiji television, and that will go everywhere, so in that way we have very good. So how about 11 times, I said. Then, five times nāḍī, and then Brahmari, also nine times or eleven, but eleven is good. And when you have Saturday or Sunday time, you can do this. So, in this seminar, you had these very nice techniques. Also, the prāṇāyāma, Anuloma Viloma, all this, that once a week we should do it completely. It means left nostril, inhale, exhale, only left nostril, twenty times. Then from the right nostril, in-out, in-out, the same, and then inhale with the left nostril, exhale, right. Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale. Then inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale. This is all complete, and then inhale, exhale, exhale. Other side, inhale, and then make this with the breath. Then meditate. So, all this that you are learning, you should know what you have learned and how you can do it, and at what time you can have it. It is your time, so we will see further. So it was very nice, and you know what? You are going, but you know you are coming back. You are going, it means I am coming again. So we are always coming, going. So we are in oneness.
