Now, I would like to ask our dear Bhakti Devī from Vienna to perform a Bharatanatyam Temple Dance. She is from the Czech Republic, not Austria. She lives in Vienna but is originally from Moravia. Welcome back, Bhakti Devī. The dance that follows is to worship the goddess of wealth and happiness, Goddess Lakṣmī. The dance is choreographed for the Sanskrit śloka Lakṣmī Barambar. O, goddess Lakshmi, come! She is giving. Her eyes... she is Viṣṇu's consort. She is surrounded by a bright holy aura, with all the spiritual energy and atmosphere. Thank you so much for dancing for us, Bhakti Devī. Now it is a great time to ask our beloved Viśvagurujī to give a speech for us. He recently returned from India, and we are all very happy to see him here with us. Thank you, Viśvagurujī, for coming to Střelky Ashram. Please, the floor is yours. Guru Brahma, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt, Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Guruve Namaḥ. Oṁ Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ. Ārādhe Bhagavān, Alak Purījī, Devpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, and our Gurudev Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān. Today is our day, a special Indian Day, India Hour. For the residents of our MSF, it is very great that you have come today and that you have brought... you brought the whole of India, all the light, peace, harmony, everything. And all our friends here, they brought this happiness for all of you. Our dear Bhakti Devī is one of the best singers and dancers. She is the best grantor. I am very happy to be here. Your Excellency, you have brought us here, the whole of India, with you like this. You are that, and I wish that for many years you will be here, and we will always bring more of the good things. All good things. These words are what he brought us. Yes. You all understand. And from his home, all of India came here to us. He brought us peace, harmony, and happiness. I am very happy that I can welcome you here, that you have brought all the good things with you. We also thank Bhakti Devī, who is one of the best dancers, for introducing us to this performance. And I wish you, Your Excellency, I wish that you will be ambassadors of this Czech Republic for many more years and that we will bring good things together. Very, very, we are friendly here, and we are also like, "All India has come." Now we will come more and more, and please, we always come, bring you here, and you will give me something. Our friends, your words, that about India and Indians. And Indians’ blessings to all of us. Thank you, sir. I would like to ask you to say a few words, Your Excellency. Yes, please. Good morning, everyone. It is a proud privilege for me to celebrate India’s Republic Day in Střelky. This is the beginning of the celebrations, and I am grateful to Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī for organizing this beautiful function. It is an amazing feeling to be in Střelky, to be with Svāmījī, and to meet all of you. Thank you so much, Svāmījī. And thank you, Dr. Repko, for your support in organizing this function. We closely observe the activities being done by Yoga in Daily Life in the Czech Republic, and the Embassy of India in Prague is working closely with them in organizing different activities around yoga. Friends, Republic Day is a very special occasion for India. This is the day on which the Constitution of India came into force in 1950, on the 26th of January. On this day in Delhi, the Prime Minister unfurls the national flag, and a chief guest from an important, friendly country is the chief guest in India. In Prague, we normally celebrate the 26th of January, Republic Day, in our embassy. But this time, this is a special occasion, as we are organizing one of the activities outside Prague in a beautiful place, Střelky, the yoga village. And I am very happy that we are celebrating this function in the presence of Svāmījī. Brothers and sisters, this Constitution of India, which came into force, is a very important document for India. In 1947, India became a free country. We gained independence from British imperialism. And in 2022, this year is the 75th anniversary of India’s independence. So that is why we have these special pictures of India at 75, the standees. The Republic Day is remembered because the Constitution has given us democracy. When we look at India in 1947, India was a very illiterate country; it was a poor country. At that time, the framers of the Indian Constitution decided to give voting rights to all citizens, irrespective of their education, irrespective of their wealth. Men and women got their voting rights. In fact, in those days, if you look at the 1940s and 50s, even the European countries did not give voting rights to everyone. And the framers of the Indian Constitution decided to bring and lay the foundation of democracy through this constitution. Nobody thought that an illiterate India, which had a literacy rate of only 12%, where the per capita income of people was something like $25, could understand what democracy is, because there was no democracy in India. We were ruled by the British for almost 250 years. There were the Mughals who were there before. So people did not know what democracy is. They did not know what their rights were. And it was during those times that we decided to have a democratic nation. Normally, in the Western countries, the purpose of the constitution is basically to protect the people from the coercive power of the state. The idea was to have the rule of law. But in India, the purpose of the constitution went beyond that. The framers wanted to give a vision for India. They wanted to provide social and economic rights to the people. So it is not only the fundamental rights, but also to tell the members of parliament what kind of country we look at when we become independent. In fact, after the Second World War, so many countries got independence, but very few countries remained democratic. And democracy is prospering day by day in India. And this is because of the strong foundation laid by our Indian Constitution that we are able to see a democratic, prosperous, and strong India. And because of this role played by the Constitution over the last 73 years, we are here to celebrate the Indian Constitution, which we call the Republic Day. And I am honored that we are able to celebrate this important occasion with my Czech friends. And thank you, Svāmījī, for providing this occasion and your support in organizing this Republic Day celebration in Střelky. Thank you, Your Excellency, for a truly wonderful speech. We are all very interested in the history of India. We are trying to utilize the history and the knowledge of India in our daily practice. We are practicing yoga and the system of Yoga in Daily Life. It is very interesting to see how history is following the long-time history of India. Just in the last 75 years, how it is coming together with the whole world, because India was a leader for the whole world with the knowledge of spiritual knowledge and spiritual history. And now it is becoming a very worldly country with the process of democracy, as you mentioned before. We really appreciate your cooperation and your support of Yoga in Daily Life in the Czech Republic. You are a truly great person for us. Thank you so much. Viśva Gurujī, any words to us? Would you like to continue? No? Then for the next program, I would like to ask our children. As we know, children are the future of our world. Let me introduce our beloved Svāmī Pārvatī, who is taking care of the education of our young generation. She is transforming the history of India and the spiritual world of India for our world. She is also teaching the Hindi and Sanskrit languages. And now we have the next generation with the singing of mantras. I greet you, Mother Sarasvatī, who gives gifts and fulfills wishes. Now I am starting my studies. Please, may I always be successful. Namaste, māmā, nāma, heṁ, vati. Namaste, māmā, nāma, vati. Namaste, māmā, nāmā, suśīlā.

Om Namaha Pārvati, Pataya, Hara, Hara,... Deva. Thank you, our dear children, for chanting the mantras so nicely. Thank you, Svāmī Pārvatī, for leading the children and for transmitting the knowledge of thousands of years of India's spiritual history to the present day. For us, the spiritual atmosphere often comes with bhajans. The knowledge of yoga, the knowledge of our paramparā, comes to us through bhajans. Now I would like to ask our bhajan band to please come and sing some bhajans for us. Thank you, dear Hemlata. She is coming from London now, but she is originally from the Czech Republic as well, and now she is living and leading the ashram in London. Thank you for the beautiful bhajans and the spiritual atmosphere you have created here. Hemlata is a long-time disciple of Svāmījī. Thank you for coming again and again to the Czech Republic. Now it is time for me to change my role a little from moderator to a teacher of Yoga in Daily Life. I am very happy about that. I would like to ask my two lady colleagues to perform the Bārikatu Praṇām exercise. I met Svāmījī for the first time in 1990. I became his disciple and a teacher from that time. Subsequently, I became an orthopedic surgeon two years later, mostly focused on the spine. What I would like to share with you today is how the system of Yoga in Daily Life can be helpful in this way. Please, ladies, start with Bārikatu Praṇām. As you know, the Yoga in Daily Life system gives us the opportunity not only for physical exercises but also provides a lot of knowledge for spiritual and mental health. When we start with physical exercises like Bārikatu, you can see how the Bārikatu Praṇām exercise is a very complex exercise. We can practice our āsanas in two ways: either as a static, one-time exercise, or we can combine movement with the āsana. This is exactly what you can see in this exercise. It nicely harmonizes our body, breath, and mental state. Originally, Bārikatu is a village in India, in Rajasthan, where Śrī Mahāprabhujī lived for a long time. The energy and spiritual energy within this village are still present. That is why we are trying to combine not only our physical exercises but also involve our devotion to Śrī Mahāprabhujī. You can see how nicely they are performing the exercise. I will skip a little ahead and try to explain the physical basis of these exercises. I am very interested in the spine. Let me show you how the spine is moving and what the purpose of this exercise is in a physical way. Please stop now in the beginning position. We call it Vajrāsana. Vajrāsana is very important as the starting position for the whole exercise. When you start your exercise correctly, you can achieve the right positions and movements. This is a very physiological position for the spine, and you can see how they are sitting straight. The spine itself is in a physiological position. Now, with inhalation, we are coming to the next position. Let us pause a little here. What is going on with our spine? You can see how we have nicely decreased the thoracic kyphosis a little. I will try to move a little. You can see on this spine, this part of the spine, how it is a little straighter now. We are slightly activating the muscles between the shoulder blades, and there is also activation of the breathing. Okay, perfect. The next position is Śaśāṅkāsana. Now you can see how the position of the spine is changing. Before, we activated the position between the shoulder blades and also the spine in the lumbar part. But now you can see how everything is relaxed and the breath is coming to the lumbar part of the spine because the abdomen is compressed now. Thank you. In this way, every breath comes to the lumbar spine. This is the part of the spine which is under very great stress. In this way, we can truly relax the muscles in this part. Perfect. We are a little relaxed in this. And now we are coming to the next position. You can see how, again, the change occurs because Bārikatu Praṇām frequently changes the position of the spine. Again, we can see how the position of the spine has changed. Bārikatu Praṇām very often changes the position of the spine with each movement, and it creates flexibility of the spine. Now you can see how the lordosis in the lumbar spine is increasing. We are activating this part. But what is very important is to activate the thoracic part of the spine. Again, the shoulder blades are coming together because, typically, this part of the muscles is weakened. Perfect. Let's go for the next. Part 2: A Journey from Bāri-Katupranām to Scientific Insight This is a slight variation from the previous Katupranām to the Bāri-Katupranām version. Hopefully, the ladies manage well in this position. Again, you can see the activation between the shoulder blades, targeting the weakened muscles. Now we will help ourselves into the next position. There is a little support from the hands in Bhujaṅgāsana, and again the activation of this part of the thoracic and lumbar spine. What do we need next? Again, we need to relax the spine. Let’s move forward. Perfect. Now you can see how the spine is relaxed again. This is very important for us: to change between activation and relaxation positions of the spine. This is also crucial for creating a new breathing position for the diaphragm. Because now, with inhalation, the diaphragm rises up along with the whole stomach. Also, our senses—like vision, taste, hearing, and everything—are activating in this position because the head is going down. Perfect. We relaxed a little in this position, and let’s go forward. Again, this is a very nice, harmonized position for the spine. We are trying to go down as much as possible with our pelvis, but the spine remains quietly harmonized. Now it’s like we are going step by step to activate the spine again. Okay, let’s go forward to the next. This position again starts to activate the inter-shoulder blade muscles. This is again a new position for us, from Kāṭupranām to Bāri-Kāṭupranām. It is very important to start activating the thoracic spine. Now we will activate more. Let’s go up. Perfect. We are trying to extend the thoracic spine. Perfect. Let’s go forward. Again, let's say, a harmonizing position of the spine. Also, you can see how the stomach on the right side is now a little compressed. We are breathing a little more to the left side. Both sides have a very big effect on the stomach. Okay, perfect. Now, let’s go to relax the spine a little for the next position. You can see again the nice position of the spine, which is very relaxed. Excellent. And now one more exercise, which is a little different from the Kāṭupranām before. It is also very important to activate, starting with activating the spine muscles. Now, the spine is very flat. We are starting to prepare to go forward for the last exercise in this position. Let’s go forward, and again we are activating the spine in the thoracic spine, especially the muscles between the interblade area. Perfect. Now we will go a little back, step by step. You can continue with your exercise. You can see how nicely they are coming back with the same positions, just in the opposite way. As I mentioned before, this exercise is not only about physical movement, but it’s also about the breath. It’s about some concentration on the positions. You can continue again one more round if you can. This exercise has a very big spiritual dimension. Thinking about our paramparā. Thinking about our spiritual path. We can also add some concentration on chakras later on. When we do this exercise very slowly, very concentrated, we get more and more energy. You can see how the ladies are happy from that, full of energy. They can continue maybe 50 rounds and more, and more and more will be happy, and more and more will be energized. Very nice, thank you so much, ladies. Very nice. This was just for your inspiration, just to look. Only through very nice performance of this exercise can you get some knowledge on how to perform. But to get the whole effect of this, you should start to practice day by day, day by day—yoga in daily life. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. Thank you, ladies. Very nice. Take chocolate, big, big chocolate. Yes, come. Big, not little. Take it. And now I would like to ask my dear colleague, Dr. Kateřina Šírdová. She is a very well-known neurologist. She works in the neurological department at a faculty hospital in Brno. She is very good and a great expert on the brain and aging of the brain. Unfortunately, we know that the COVID time is not so easy for us, all of us, and she tried to find some way to help ourselves with yoga practices. Now the floor is hers, and please give us the lecture about yoga in daily life and coffee time. Thank you. Thank you for the nice introduction, and thank you very much, Viśwa Gurujī, for inviting me for such a special occasion, that I can present the effects of yoga, and especially the Yoga in Daily Life system, in these difficult times—about how yoga, especially yoga in our daily life, affects us. As you know, and what Gurudev often says, what is happening now is a test for us in a way. It is a test of our discipline and a test of our humbleness for humankind. I am a medical doctor practicing Western medicine, and I am also a scientist, and as well, I am a proud disciple of Gurudev. We are very happy that we live in times when science and ancient spiritual wisdom are connecting now, and science is trying to again prove the beautiful wisdom which our Gurudev is giving us, which yoga is offering. That’s why I am studying the effects of yoga from a scientific point of view, so Western medical doctors can use it for the benefit of their patients. Just to introduce why it is important in these times: we all know that COVID is a very dangerous disease, and many people in the hospital now are having big problems. It is important to know, however, that even if we survive COVID, there are many long-term problems which people are not aware of. People can have myocarditis, can have a stroke, and can have headaches for many months after they overcome COVID. It is important to know—that’s my research—that the virus is attacking our nervous system and can be really bad for our memory. Even in people who had a very light acute phase, some months later, as the studies I’m showing on the slide show, they have problems with memory. Next slide, please. So, what can we do? The best thing is not to get COVID. We can use two approaches, of course. We live in modern times, and when our children don’t die anymore from very bad diseases, thanks to vaccination, so I must, as a doctor, say that vaccination is really, really important to not get the big load of COVID. But what is very, very important, we can also do something for our health, and that is what yoga offers. That is a very important part of us being healthy: boosting our immunity with physical exercise, healthy food, and prevention of stress and depression—increasing our immunity by physical exercise, healthy food, and stress and depression prevention. What to do if we already have COVID? We can use techniques for improving blood oxygenation, and techniques for improving memory and concentration. Yoga plays a crucial role in this. If we have already gotten COVID, it is good to use techniques that improve blood oxygenation, memory, and concentration to prevent long-term consequences. Yoga plays a very important role in this. Next, please. How to boost immunity? We all know that aerobic physical activity is very good for our cardiovascular system. Martin showed beautifully the effects of dynamic sequences of āsanas, such as Bāri-Katupranām, but we also have Sūrya Namaskār or Katupranām in our Yoga in Daily Life system. We know that aerobic exercise is very important for improving our cardiovascular system. It is shown that regular light or medium physical activity can protect us against COVID, but not very, very intense exercise with no rest. The relaxation is also important. Studies show that light and medium exercise is very important for protecting against COVID-19, but we should not exercise too intensively without rest. Pause and relaxation are also very important. Next, please. A very important part of yoga is āsanas. It is not just an exercise of the body, as you have seen, like in the Bṛhat Prāṇām performance. Āsanas have many effects, also on our psychological level, improving concentration and the postural sensation of body parts. It trains the brain because it is connected with breath. It’s a conscious movement. Āsana is only done as it is. So the āsanas are a way of exercise, not just exercise. What is really important is a healthy diet. All of you know that it is important to have a lot of vegetables in your diet, but there is more to it. It looks like meat is really not good for us, and there is scientific evidence of this. There is a big study showing that people who were vegetarians had a much lower risk of moderate and severe disease from COVID compared to people who have a normal Western diet. Even people who practice these kinds of modern diets, like low-carb or high-protein, which have a lot of meat, have a very big risk of severe COVID disease. There is also a big China study showing a negative effect of a high animal protein intake on health. There is a really important study which came out in 2018 in The Lancet, a very prestigious scientific magazine, which shows that people who are vegan or vegetarian, their life and health are very protected. They live longer, and they have much better health parameters. All of you probably know the Chinese study, which showed that high consumption of meat is not suitable for people, for human health. But the most important study was published in The Lancet in 2018, which is a prestigious scientific journal, which shows that vegans and vegetarians not only experience a longer lifespan, but also have better health parameters and a better effect on civilizational diseases. Very important in the prevention of stress and depression is prāṇāyāma. It is also very good for exercising if you have already had COVID. Prāṇāyāma is very important in the prevention of depression and stress, and it is also important to exercise it after COVID. It improves lung and heart function and the absorption of oxygen. It enhances memory encoding. There are studies showing that this special way of nasal breathing with consciousness connected is really good for reactivating our memory. Prāṇāyāma not only improves the function of the lungs and heart, but also improves the absorption of oxygen into the blood and improves our memory. There are studies that show that this type of breathing helps improve memory. And it enhances mindfulness, which is part of yoga imminently, because yoga is about now and noticing what I am doing at this moment. A very important part of reducing stress is that stress is a really big risk factor for our diseases and for memory problems, so reducing stress is important for our health. The main, main technique we can use is meditation. In Yoga in Daily Life, we have a very beautiful self-inquiry meditation which can really help us reduce depression and stress. We have published a very nice review article about the effects of meditation. Meditation can mitigate depression and stress, but it also improves immunological profile and also improves memory and concentration. We, I just shortly touch, we actually do research on mindfulness, which is basically a scientific method, but it uses techniques described in Yoga in Daily Life. It basically uses Ānanda Āsana one and two, prāṇāyāma: Nāḍī Śodhana level one, and self-inquiry meditation level one, and mindfulness movements for the therapy of patients. We did a study called Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Therapy, which is basically yoga techniques described in the first part, as they are written in the presentation. Then we had a group for cognitive training. We showed that the group of people who practiced Yoga in Daily Life, first level, regularly had reduced depressive symptoms compared to the group which had just cognitive training, and had improved psychomotor speed and improvement in immunological profile compared to the control group. So it really worked very well for the people who already had memory problems. And last but not least, spirituality. A really important part of human health, which is neglected in scientific studies, is a crucial part of our health, and it’s a pity. There are studies showing that regular spiritual activity, such as meditation and prayer, reduces mortality and morbidity, reduces cognitive decline in dementia patients, and improves immunological parameters. Spirituality is not religiosity. Spirituality is defined as connection, like yoga, connection. It’s one’s attitude towards life, towards oneself, towards others, towards the earth, and towards something that is above us. That’s how it is defined scientifically, and how it is researched, and it can be measured by questionnaires. Next, so we did a study on spiritual well-being. We gave patients a questionnaire about spirituality, and we measured how high their spiritual level is. It showed that when I observed these people for three years, and their MRI brain scans showed that after three years, these people, who were at a high spiritual level, had much lower atrophy in certain brain regions. So we studied spirituality, we gave people a questionnaire on spiritual well-being, which they completed, and we watched it for three years using magnetic resonance of the brain. It turned out that people who have a high spiritual well-being score, their brain didn’t atrophy, didn’t die as quickly as in the control, which had low spirituality. Especially, the effect was pronounced in brain regions related to self-awareness, free will, decision-making, social interaction, emotional empathy, and memory. So, we helped the other scientists a little to realize that spirituality is one very important factor of health, which should be counted for in our research. So, I would very much like to thank Viśwa Gurujī for allowing me. Also, there is one very important new technique which we are taught by Gurudev, which I didn’t mention, is Brahmārī. That’s a technique with vibrations in our head, as you know. We were doing research with Roman Bednar, our colleague, also a medical doctor from Slovakia, about Brahmārī, and many of you participated in this study. It showed that Brahmārī is really effective for improving concentration and decreasing anxiety in our small study, and we would like to continue in the research of this technique. We have shown so far in the first results that were done with a group of yoga practitioners that this technique is very good for concentration and decreasing depression and constipation, which is very important for our health. And so the Yoga in Daily Life system really is a perfect scientific system. It’s offering all the known healthy techniques, which are now recognized by science for improving our health. Yoga in Daily Life is a really perfect scientific system, which offers methods that today’s modern science considers to be suitable for the protection of our health. Thank you for your attention. Thank you very much. Thank you, Ambā Devī, for a very nice scientific lecture. At the end of this event, give me the chance to thank so much, Your Excellency, Ambassador of India, that he took us together. Today we just started with the snowing, now it’s sunshine weather outside. This is something which we would like to improve in ourselves as well. In conclusion, please, Viśwa Gurujī, can you give us some knowledge and nice words? Thank you. Thank you very much, our Excellencies, Excellencies, and our sisters and brothers. You were listening very relaxed and comfortably, and it was very important what His Excellency came and gave us. He has given us many, many thoughts. I also came in my mind, and I would like to ask His Excellency that we are making here one Hindu mountain. That mountain means the temple. So we, we all from these countries, they all try and they would like, and we are doing for our temple. I would ask His Excellency that perhaps you will come and tell us something about how we can do it. There are many Indians in Czech countries, and they have many companies and many things. So one day we will bring together here to the ashram, and we will come also to the other tree on your place. So thank you very much, Your Excellency, and you give us some thoughts: how do we make it a temple? We must have here our Indian temple also. Thank you. Thank you. Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ...
