Bhajans and Practicing form Vep

The practice of Marjari Āsana is given. This posture is very good for the spine and for blood circulation. It reduces back pain. The practice depends on coordinating the breath with the movement. Inhale while looking up toward the sky and arching the back. Exhale while looking down toward the navel and rounding the spine. The group should move all together in unison. Perform the sequence five times. This is proper guidance received and passed on.

"Look toward the sky. Inhale. And exhale. Slowly go down."

"This is Marjari Āsana. It’s very good for our spine column."

Who looks like this? Who likes this? Okay? Come a little bit more. Yes, very nice. So you can be very nice. Yes, so we can see. You’re good; you do that. You look like that, yes—half god looking this, and they’re like, "Yes, yes, again, not come away now, lie down." You are you. You have to practice your practice now. Okay? So many, you know that. We had practiced like Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara. He was giving very nice instruction on how to practice. Now I will do something, and I do very good, but this Mahārāj, Mahārājjī, he will not. Let me do it, but I tell you, please relax. Very nice, okay? And Mahārājjī here, okay? Loud a little bit, yes. You see how nice, very nice. I think it’s good we are relaxing more; that’s very good. We are relaxed so that our stomach will be calmed, and then we go for eating. That’s very good. And now, slowly come out. Very good. Also like this, yes? No, no... Yes, very nice, very good. Please sit all in Vajrāsana if you can. Do like this, then you can do it and sit together, okay? If you are uncomfortable, please, you can also sit in another āsana. And now, stand on the knees. And go down. And look up. And again, and slowly look, and again, again, and again. We know this is very nice, and we will do five times repeating, five times. Continue your breath, inhaling up and exhaling. Look to the navel. This is Marjari Āsana. This is Marjari Āsana. It’s very good for our spine column. But all, please do all together, yes, and go down. Look down and come up. Look towards the sky, back down, and again go down, go up like this, but all together, all together. In a group, all, when one comes up, all should be. Look up, and when they look down, all should follow. Okay, I’ll go. Okay. So continue, please. Swāmījī was repeating five times, so we can count already. Three times is done. Now you can look up all the way to the sky, and your back down. Now go down, look to the navel. All once, and slowly again, look to the sky up once. Once more, and look again up to the sky. If the Gurujī’s blessing now is five times, maybe done, so you can stand on the knee and come slowly up and sit in Vajrāsana. So very good. So then five times. Okay, so again, go up, one, two, and here now we sit, one, and look to the side, up, down, look to the navel, and up, and look up, and down again. Come up again. Come up. Look toward the sky and again. And now look up and stand. Stand on the knee and sit down. So now he will do like I told you. Now, how we are so only five times? So he will do everything if somebody is going. A little out there, then he is not. Everybody should go like this. Okay, thank you, Guru Dev. I got proper guidance. I will pass his blessing to you further. So, please, this is what Swāmījī was giving us, the practice of the Marjari Āsana. This beginning Marjari Āsana is very good for all our body’s blood circulation, especially our spine column. Many people sit on chairs and they have back pains. It will reduce the pain and is very good for our body. So now, please raise your arm up and come into Marjari āsana all together, and look at your navel and look toward the sky. All how beautiful these trees we have, very nice leaves. And slowly, please look to your neighbor. And this practice is, as I learned in life through the Gurudev, it depends on the breath, inhaling and exhaling. So you know very well. Look toward the sky again, please. Inhale. And exhale. Slowly go down, and your back toward the sky, up. Not only the shoulder, but the backside, like between the shoulder and our hip joints. Mostly. And again, look to the sky. And slowly back. And now, look to the sky again. And stand up on your knees, please. And slowly, Vajrāsana. Now, all go up, stand on your knees, please. Go down, go up, look to the sky, up. Our breath is not due to me, but one. Go, yeah. Okay, one, one, look toward neighbor, two, yes, down, look up, and slowly look up, inhale, and come again, down, exhale, and come again upward, again look toward sky up, and again, again down, and look again, look up again, and again, and down. And stand up on the knee and slowly sit in Vajrāsana. Is it okay? So don’t go like you go again. Inhaling and exhaling, we have to coordinate our breath. Again. Once more. Stand up, please, on your knee. And go down. Look toward the navel. Exhale. Inhale. Look toward the sky. Up. And slowly go down. It goes always. It goes. I go up, I go all the way down. Go down. All. Look to the sky, up, sky, and look down, navel, and look up. Beautiful, very good. Again, look toward navel, toward sky. You have to go down. Continue, down, exhale, and inhale. Exhale, and inhale. Up towards all the sky and go down, again up, again go down, look again up, again down, inhaling and exhaling. This is very important for this exercise. All look, please, toward the sky. And now, back. Look to the navel. And now, stand up. This. And sit down. Now you do five times. Sometimes I tell you, or he will tell, "Go up," and this, only tell, "Go up, down, then go ahead." We will not speak. All go with the head. Like that. All very nice, like you, all like, like, okay, good. So, two times let me do, you do. He will not speak, I will not, but you, once I tell, okay? Okay. One. A. Two. Up, little. Go back again like this. Go. Yes, go. Focus. Go good. Nicely. You are doing very good. Very good, you are doing. So now it is five times. Go ahead. All very good. Go yourself. Yes. All together, very nice. And stand. And now. Very good. You do it very nice, but not like this. Still, I have to... Okay. Very nice. So, not quickly or like this, because everybody—somebody can do slow, and another can do quickly. So, okay? Five times, okay? So this one, two, and go ahead. One, two. One, two. Yes, go ahead. Go ahead.... Go ahead. Go ahead and stand up. And stand up. This is a very nice quote, very nice. And another thing is like this, so that is very good also. So we go up, and we go down, and remain there. One, go, and go again, and go. Very good, yes. And again. And go up, and hands up. And sit down. One. And go back, and relax inside. And again. Go on, big again. And we are up, again go five times, and go up, and back in like this, and like this again. And now, be here, okay? This is here, but the foot a little, yes. Okay? So, try to look at your legs like this, and look also. And other side, and other side again and again. Go other side like this further, and other side again like this all at once. And other side again, and legs look down. And hands like this up, and sit in there. That will be very good for our practice today. So I will ask you to stand like this. And sit like this, and the legs both up. Yes. And then look to the left, then the other side, and this side, and the other side, and the other side... But you should be like this, not like this, yes? Okay, yes. This side, that side, not from this, from this. Look, yes, yes. And at the side, look, go, yes, yes. And very good, go ahead. And go all, and now legs down, and look like this, and look again like this. Yeah, go up like this, and go like this, and like this go, and relax like this, and it’s breath up, and hands up, and sit like this. Now, look up and stand up. Hands down, and say. And please look good. Send light, OK?
