Part 1: Celebrating India's Republic Day at Strilky Ashram Your Excellency, Mr. Ambassador of India in Prague, Your Holiness Vishwaguruji, dear brothers and sisters, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this grand occasion as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of India’s Republic Day. It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Strilky Ashram, Mahāprabhuji’s Ashram in the Czech Republic. I hope we all enjoy this beautiful day together. It is snowing gently outside, and we are gathered to honor this truly wonderful event. Let me welcome our distinguished guest, the Ambassador of India, Mr. Hemant Kotalba. We are under the umbrella of our beloved Śrī Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī, our dear Viśvagurujī. Thank you for coming to this special day. We have prepared a beautiful cultural program, and we will also have a few speeches. But first, we begin with the mantras to Lord Gaṇeśa. I would like to ask Mr. Vishṇu to lead us.

Beautiful singing of the Gaṇeśajī mantra. May Lord Gaṇeśa lead, bless, and protect us during this meeting. Now I would like to invite our dear Bhakti Devī from Vienna to perform the Bharatanatyam temple dance. She is originally from the Czech Republic—from Moravia—though she lives in Vienna. Welcome back, Bhakti Devī. She performs a dance in worship of the goddess of wealth and happiness, Goddess Lakṣmī. The dance is choreographed for the Sanskrit śloka Lakṣmī Barambar. O Goddess Lakṣmī, come! She bestows, her eyes are like lotus flowers; she is Viṣṇu’s consort, surrounded by a bright, holy aura. Thank you so much. That was a dance filled with spiritual energy and atmosphere. We thank you, Bhakti Devī. Now is the perfect time to invite our beloved Viśvagurujī to speak. He recently returned from India, and we are all so happy to see him. Thank you, Viśvagurujī, for coming to Strilky Āśram. Please, the floor is yours. Viśvagurujī: Oṁ Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ. Oṁ Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ. Devpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, our Gurudev Svāmī Madhavānandajī, Bhagavān. Today we celebrate a special Indian Day, an hour of India. It is wonderful that Your Excellency has come to our ashram. You have brought the whole of India with you—all the light, peace, harmony, and happiness—and all our friends here share this joy. Our dear Bhakti Devī is one of the best singers and dancers; she is a great gift. I am very happy to be here. Your Excellency, you have brought India to us, and I hope you will be with us for many years. Together we will continue to share good things. Thank you for bringing the whole of India here—peace, harmony, and happiness. I am delighted to welcome you. We also thank Bhakti Devī for her beautiful presentation. Here we always practice yoga, but we also enjoy Indian dancing, bhajans, and so much more. Your Excellency, we feel a friendly closeness, as if all of India has come to us today. We will meet again and again. Please, we would now love to hear your words about India and its power, and your blessings for us all. Thank you, sir. I would like to invite you to say a few words, Your Excellency. Ambassador: Good morning, everyone. It is a proud privilege for me to celebrate India’s Republic Day here in Strilky. This marks the beginning of our celebrations, and I am deeply grateful to Swāmī Maheśvarānandajī. It is an amazing feeling to be in Strilky, to be with Swāmījī, and to meet all of you. Thank you, Swāmījī. I also thank Dr. Repko for his support in organizing this function. We closely observe the activities of Yoga in Daily Life in the Czech Republic, especially those organized on International Yoga Day. The Embassy of India in Prague works closely with them to organize various yoga-related activities. Friends, Republic Day is a very special occasion for India. It is the day on which the Constitution of India came into force on 26 January 1950. On this day in Delhi, the Prime Minister unfurls the national flag, and a chief guest from a friendly nation is the guest of honor. Normally, we celebrate Republic Day at our embassy in Prague, but this time we have chosen to organize one of our events outside Prague, in this beautiful place, Strilky, the yoga village. I am very happy to celebrate in the presence of Swāmījī. Brothers and sisters, the Constitution of India, which came into force, is a very important document. In 1947, India became a free country. We gained independence from British imperialism. The 75th anniversary of India’s independence was in 2022; hence we have these special displays, the standees of ‘India at 75’. Republic Day is remembered because the Constitution gave us democracy. Looking back at India in 1947, it was a largely illiterate and poor country. At that time, the framers of the Indian Constitution decided to grant voting rights to all citizens, irrespective of their education or wealth. Both men and women received voting rights. In fact, in the 1940s and 50s, even some European countries did not extend voting rights to everyone. The framers of the Indian Constitution laid the foundation of democracy through this document. Nobody expected an illiterate India—with a literacy rate of only 12%, a per capita income of around 25 dollars, and after nearly 250 years of British rule, preceded by the Mughals—to understand democracy and rights. Yet, we chose to become a democratic nation. In Western countries, a constitution’s purpose is mainly to protect citizens from the coercive power of the state, establishing the rule of law. In India, the purpose went beyond that. The framers wanted to give a vision for India, to provide social and economic rights. Thus, it not only guarantees fundamental rights but also guides the parliament on the kind of country we aspire to be. After the Second World War, many countries gained independence, but very few remained democratic. Democracy is thriving in India, thanks to the strong foundation laid by our Constitution. That is why, over the last 73 years, we celebrate the Indian Constitution on Republic Day. I am honored to celebrate this important occasion with my Czech friends. Thank you, Swāmījī, for making this celebration possible in Strilky. Host: Your Excellency, thank you for that wonderful speech. We are all deeply interested in India’s history and knowledge. In our daily practice of Yoga in Daily Life, we draw on that heritage. It is fascinating to see how India’s recent 75-year journey has brought it together with the whole world. India has long been a world leader in spirituality and spiritual wisdom, and now it is also emerging as a dynamic, worldly nation through democracy, as you described. Thank you. Viśvagurujī, would you like to add anything? Viśvagurujī: No, that’s fine. Let’s continue with the program. Host: Next, I would like to invite our children, for they are the future of our world. Let me introduce our beloved Swāmī Pārvatī, who cares for the education of our young generation. She conveys the history and spiritual world of India to them, also teaching Hindi and Sanskrit. Now the next generation will sing mantras. Children: Oṁ Namaḥ Vāṇī Varade Kāmarūpiṇī Vidyārambhaṃ Kariṣyāmi Siddhir Bhavatu Me Sadā | Oṁ Namaste Māmā Nāma Hemavatī, Namaste Māmā Nāma Mohā, Namaste Māmā Nāma Suśīlā | Oṁ Tryambakaṁ Yajāmahe Sugandhiṁ Puṣṭivardhanam, Urvārukamiva Bandhanān Mṛtyormukṣīya Mā’mṛtāt Oṁ | Oṁ Tryambakaṁ Yajāmahe Sugandhiṁ Puṣṭivardhanam, Urvārukamiva Bandhanān Mṛtyormukṣīya Mā’mṛtāt Oṁ | Karata Prabhu Dīpa Karata Mahāprabhujī Dīpa Karata | Oṁ Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ, Śāntiḥ | He Apūrṇe, Sadāpūrṇe, Śaṅkaraprāṇavallabhe, Dhyānavairāgyasiddhyartham Bhikṣāṃ Dehi Cha Pārvatī | Mātā Cha Pārvatī Devī Pitā Devo Maheśvaraḥ, Bāndhavāḥ Śivabhaktāścha Svadeśo Bhuvanatrayam | Oṁ Śubhaṃ Karoti Kalyāṇam Ārogyaṃ Dhanaṃ Sampadā, Śatrubuddhirvināśāya Dīpajyotirnamo'stu te | Oṃ Dīpa Jyoti Parabrahma Dīpaṃ Sarve Mohanam, Dīpanaṃ Sacchate Sarvaṃ Satya Dīpaṃ Sarvaṃ Satyam | Oṃ Pūrṇamadaḥ Pūrṇamidaṃ Pūrṇāt Pūrṇamudacyate, Pūrṇasya Pūrṇamādāya Pūrṇamevāvaśiṣyate | Oṃ Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ Śāntiḥ | Oṃ Namaḥ Pārvatīpataye Har Har Mahādeva | Thank you, dear children, for singing the mantras so beautifully. Thank you, Swami Parvati, for guiding them and once again transmitting thousands of years of India’s spiritual wisdom to the present. The spiritual atmosphere often comes to us through bhajans. The knowledge of yoga, the knowledge of our paramparā, reaches us through bhajans. I now invite our bhajan band to sing for us. [Bhajans are performed] Thank you, dear Hemlata. She has come from London but is originally from the Czech Republic as well. She now leads the ashram in London. Thank you for the beautiful bhajans and the sacred atmosphere. Hemlata is a longtime disciple of Swāmījī, and we are grateful that she keeps returning to the Czech Republic. Now I will shift from moderator to teacher of Yoga in Daily Life. I’m very happy to do so. I would like to invite my two colleagues to perform the Bārikāṭu Praṇām exercise. I first met Swāmījī in 1990 and became his disciple and a teacher. I later became an orthopedic surgeon two years later, specializing in the spine. Today I want to share how the Yoga in Daily Life system can be helpful. Please, ladies, begin with Bārikāṭu Praṇām. As you know, Yoga in Daily Life offers not only physical exercises but also deep knowledge for spiritual and mental health. When we practice physical exercises like Bārikāṭu, you can see how complex and beneficial it is. We can perform āsanas in two ways: static holds, or combining movement with the posture. This exercise harmonizes body, breath, and mind. Bārikāṭu is actually a village in Rajasthan where Śrī Mahāprabhujī lived for a long time, and its spiritual energy still lingers. Therefore, in this exercise we combine physical movement with devotion to Śrī Mahāprabhujī. You can see how gracefully they perform it. I will now explain the physical basis of these exercises, focusing on the spine. Please stop here at the starting position, Vajrāsana. Vajrāsana is very important as the starting posture. It is a highly physiological position for the spine—they are sitting straight, with the spine in its natural curvatures. Now, with an inhalation, we move to the next position. Notice what happens to the spine: we slightly reduce thoracic kyphosis, straightening the upper back. We activate the muscles between the shoulder blades and stimulate the breath. Perfect. The next position is Śaśāṅkāsana. See how the spine changes: previously we activated the upper back and lumbar region, but now everything relaxes. The breath reaches the lumbar spine because the abdomen is compressed, preventing the breath from expanding forward. This directs the breath into the lumbar spine, an area under great stress, allowing deep relaxation of this region and its surrounding muscles. We relax there. Then we move to the next position, and the Bārikāṭu Praṇām continuously changes the spine’s position. ... Subtitles by the Amara.org community. Thank you very much. Part 2: Yoga in Daily Life: Spinal Activation, Immunity, and Spiritual Well-Being It makes the spine flexible. 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. We also activate the thoracic spine, and again the shoulder blades are coming together because, definitely, this part of the muscles is usually weakened. Perfect. Let’s go on to the next. This is a little bit changed from the previous Kaṭhūpraṇām to the Barīkāṭūpraṇām version. Hopefully, the ladies survive in this position. And again, you can see the activation between the shoulder blades, the weakened muscles. And now we will help ourselves to the next position. There is a little bit of support from the hands. Bhujaṅgāsana, Bhujaṅgāsana. And again, the activation of this part of the thoracic and lumbar spine. And what do we need next? Again, we need to relax the spine. Let’s move forward. Perfect. And now you can see how the spine again is relaxed. This is very important for us to change the activation and relaxation position of the spine. And this is also very important to make a new breathing position for the diaphragm. Because now the diaphragm is rising up, the whole stomach with inhalation, and 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 bit in this position, and let’s go forward. And again, this is a very nice, harmonized position for the spine. We are trying to go down as much as possible to activate the inter-shoulder blade muscles. This is again a new position for us, from kāṭupranām to barikāṭupranām. And it’s very important to start to activate the thoracic spine. And now we will activate more. Let’s go up. And perfect. We are trying to extend the thoracic spine. Perfect. Let’s go forward. Again, let’s say, the harmonizing position of the spine. But also, you can see how the stomach on the right side now is a little bit compressed, and we are breathing a little bit more to the left side. Both sides have a very big effect on the stomach. Perfect. Now, let’s go to relax the spine a little bit 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 bit different from Kaṭupranām before. This is also very important to activate the spine muscles. Now the spine is very flat, and we are starting to prepare to go forward for the last exercise in this position. Let’s go forward, please. And again, we are activating the spine in the thoracic region. Specifically, the muscles between the interblade area. Perfect. And now we will go a little bit back, step by step. You can continue with your exercise, and you can see how nicely they are coming back with the same positions, just only in the opposite way. As I mentioned before, this exercise is not only about the 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. And also, this exercise has a very big spiritual aspect. Thinking about our paramparā. Thinking about our spiritual way to pass. And also, we can add some concentration to the chakras later on. And when we are doing this exercise very slowly, very concentrated, we are getting more and more energy. You can see how the ladies are happy from that, full of energy. Plné energie. And they can continue maybe 50 rounds. 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. Look for a very nice performance of this exercise. You can get some knowledge on how to perform it. But to get the full effect of this, you should start to practice daily, day by day, Yoga in Daily Life. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. Thank you, ladies. Very nice. Take a big, big chocolate. Take it. Yes, come. Big, not little. Take it in your hand. And now I would like to ask my dear colleague, Dr. Katerina Širdova. She is a very well-known neurologist. She works in the neurological department in the faculty hospital in Brno, and she is a very good and great expert in the brain and the aging of the brain. Unfortunately, we know that the COVID time is not so easy for all of us. And she tried to find some way to help ourselves with yoga practices. And now the floor is hers. Please give us the lecture about yoga and COVID time. Thank you. Thank you for the nice introduction, and thank you very much, Vishwagurujī, for inviting me for such a special occasion, so that I can present the effects of yoga, especially the Yoga in Daily Life system, in these difficult times. As you know, and as Gurū Dev often says, what is happening now is a test for us, in a way. It’s 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, as well as a proud disciple of Guru Dev. We are very happy that we live in times when science and the ancient spiritual wisdom are now connecting. And science is trying to prove again 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 that Western medical doctors can use it for the benefit of their patients. Just to introduce why this is important in these times, we all know that COVID is a very dangerous disease, and many people who are 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 that people are not aware of. People can have myocarditis, can have stroke, and can have headaches for many months after they overcome COVID. And 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 indicate, 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 no longer die from very bad diseases, I must, as a doctor, say that vaccination is really, really important to not get the big load of COVID. We live in a modern age where our children no longer have to die from diseases that no longer exist, thanks to vaccination. And I really have to say, as a doctor, that vaccination is important so that we don’t get those big doses of that toxic virus. Even if we get it, it’s not such a dose. This is a very important part of us being healthy. Boosting our immunity with physical exercise, healthy food, and the prevention of stress and depression is very important. But of course, it is very important that we do something ourselves, and that is yoga. That means increasing our immunity with physical exercise, healthy food, and prevention of stress and depression. What to do if we already have COVID? We can use techniques for improving blood oxygenation, and techniques for improving memory and concentration. And yoga plays a crucial role in this. Next, please. How to boost immunity? We all know that aerobic physical activity is very good for our cardiovascular system, and Martin showed beautifully the effects of sequences of dynamic asanas, such as bārī kaṭupranām, but we also have sūrya namaskār or kaṭupranām in our Yoga in Daily Life system. Dr. Martin Repko, this is a 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. Asanas are not just an exercise of the body, as you have seen, like in the Barikatu Pranam performance. Asanas have many effects also on our psychological level, improving concentration and postural sensation of body parts. It trains the brain, because it is connected with breath; it’s a conscious movement. Asanas are the most important part of yoga. It is not just some kind of exercise, but it is a conscious exercise connected with breathing, as we have seen here in the beautiful exercise of Bārikatā Praṇām. And in this way, it improves our concentration and trains our brain in certain areas. 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 include a lot of meat, have a very high risk of severe COVID disease. There is also a big China study showing the negative effect of high animal protein intake on health, and 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 that showed that high consumption of meat is not suitable for human health, but the most important study was published in The Lancet in 2018, which is a prestigious scientific journal. This shows that vegans and vegetarians not only live to a higher age but also have better health parameters and a better effect on civilizational diseases. Very important in the prevention of stress and depression is prāṇāyāma, and it is also very good for exercising if you have already had COVID. It improves lung and heart function, absorption of oxygen, and 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. Pranayama not only improves the function of the lungs and heart, but also improves the absorption of oxygen into the blood and our memory. There are studies that show that this type of breathing helps to 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. And it also improves mindfulness, which is an important part of yoga. Yoga is based on this principle, where we notice what is here and now, a very important part of reducing stress. Stress is a really big risk factor for our diseases and for memory problems. So reducing stress is important for our health. And the main technique which we can use is meditation, and 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 is a very important part of how we can reduce our stress and depression. Stress is a very risky factor for disease, infection, and also for the deterioration of memory. Meditation can mitigate depression and stress, but it also improves the immunological profile, memory, and concentration. I just briefly touched on this, but 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 1 and 2, Prāṇāyāma Nāḍī Śodhana Level 1, Self-Inquiry Meditation Level 1, and Mindfulness Movements for the therapy of patients. 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. Immunological profile compared to the control group. So it really worked very well for people who already had memory problems. Dal Śrī Prasāda. 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 activities, such as meditation and prayer, reduce mortality and morbidity, reduce cognitive decline in dementia patients, and improve immunological parameters. Mahāprabhujīp Karatā Mahāprabhujīp Karatā He Kevalam 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. And it showed that when we observed these people for three years and their MRI brain scans, after three years, these people who had 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 followed them for three years using magnetic resonance of the brain, and it turned out that people who have high spiritual well-being scores, their brain did not atrophy, did not die as quickly as in the control group, which had low spirituality, and especially in areas associated with self-awareness, free will, decision-making, social interaction, emotional empathy, and memory. So we helped the other scientists to realize that spirituality is a very important factor. And the second factor of health, which should be accounted for in our research. Poslední. So I would very much like to thank Viśvagurujī for allowing me. And also, there is one very important new technique which we are taught by Gurudev, which I didn’t mention, and it’s Brahmari. And that’s a technique with vibrations in our head, as you know, and we were doing research with Roman Bednar, our colleague, also a medical doctor from Slovakia, about Brahmari, and many of you participated in this study. It showed that Brahmari is really effective for improving concentration and decreasing anxiety in our small study, and we would like to continue the research of this technique. 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. Thank you very much. Thank you, Ambā Devī, for a very nice scientific lecture. And at the end of this event, I would like to take the chance to thank you so much, Your Excellency, Ambassador of India, for bringing us together today. We just started with the snowing. Now it’s sunshine outside. And this is something which we would like to improve in ourselves as well. And in conclusion, please, Viśvagurujī, can you give us some knowledge and nice words? Thank you. Thank you very much, our 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 gave us many, many thoughts, and I also came in my mind, and that we... I would like to ask His Excellency that we are making here one Hindu mountain. That mountain means the temple. So, we all from these countries, they all try and they would like, and we are doing for our temple. And I would ask His Excellency that perhaps you will come and tell us something about how we can do it. And there are many Indians in the Czech Republic. There are a lot of Indians in the Czech Republic, and they have many companies and many things. So one day we will bring together here to the ashram, and we will also come to your other tree at your place. So thank you very much, Your Excellency, and you give us some thoughts on how to make it a temple. We must have our Indian temple here also. Thank you.
