Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jāya. Śrī Śrī Deveśvara Mahādeva Kī Jāya. Dharm Samrāṭ Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī Bhagavān Kī Jai. Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī Jai. Good evening and blessings to all of you. Blessings to all our dear brothers and sisters around the world. It is a beautiful evening. You can see the real darbār, beautiful. Today's weather is without clouds. Cameraman, don't show the clouds, okay? More or less, today is the last day of our anuṣṭhāna, our yoga camp, yog sādhanā camp. Tomorrow is the evening satsaṅg, so-called. You always want to celebrate. Tomorrow will also be webcast, I hope. But the official program finishes today because many had to travel back, traveling long distances. Many have gone. It was beautiful, very nice. For those who will stay, I wish you all the best. For the last five days, the subject was Nāḍī Yoga. Nāḍī Yoga is very beautiful, very powerful, and full of experiences. It is very good for the development of spirituality and finally for self-realization. Nāda is that which leads our consciousness in the astral world toward the cosmic consciousness. With guru mantra, with guru's blessing, through the guru tattva, it leads us from darkness to light—gu means darkness and ru means light. When one comes to a higher level of practicing Nāḍī Yoga techniques, then you hear many different sounds. Many sounds are connected to our blood circulation. Many sounds are connected to physical organs: heartbeat, digestion, and so on. Often, you hear something like a waterfall. That is not a waterfall; it is your blood circulation. Often you hear like a locomotive is passing, that locomotive with the coal engine. That is also not a spiritual sound. It is blood circulation, heartbeat, your pulse. Sometimes you hear sounds like chigada or bees; that is also the sound of the blood circulation towards the brain. Then come ten different kinds of sounds, which belong to the ten indriyas: karmendriya and jñānendriya. After this, the prāṇa and apāna begin to unite—the force of the prāṇa and apāna at the navel. This is the entry to the suṣumnā nāḍī, the central nerve, the entry to the cosmic consciousness, meaning the Sahasrāra Cakra, Chidākāśa. It follows through on the path from the Maṇipūra Cakra. Maṇipūra Chakra is the beginning of our manifestation in this world. As soon as you reach the Maṇipūra Chakra, the prāṇa and apāna automatically unite and create a state like a vacuum. That is why some people have problems when their kuṇḍalinī awakens. They have spasms or cramps in the stomach, down near the buttocks or anus, sometimes in the head. That is because a practitioner did not purify those principles which I spoke of yesterday evening—day before yesterday, yesterday morning, sorry. That was the three antakaraṇa, four antakaraṇa—excuse me—the three tapas and the three mal, vikṣepa and āvaraṇa, through the guru mantra and Gurudev's guidance. There is no way to your perfections, to your cosmic conscious awakening within you, or self-realization, without guru kṛpā. It is a cosmic law. It does not depend on someone. It is like that, or you can say cosmic protocol. It is like that. So the highest tattva in the universe is the guru tattva. That is why Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Maheśvara, and all the devas serve the Sadguru. Even Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, and all goddesses, they all do śivā to Satguru Dev. So when the Prāṇa and Apāna unite at the Nābhi Kamal, at that time Kuṇḍalinī begins to awake in a very safe way. At that time, there is a jhaṅkār. Jhaṅkār is like a resonance, but more in that direction. When you have a sitar or guitar in your hand and you touch one string, it makes a sound. That's called jhaṅkār. That happens—pleasant, beautiful—and automatically two chakras, Svādhiṣṭhāna and Maṇipūra, are immediately cleared up. So you have one-way traffic. Then your Mūlādhāra and Svādhiṣṭhāna Cakras cannot create any obstacles. Because you went through Nāḍī Yoga, you cleaned all your inner qualities which I mentioned before, and because you have Guru Kṛpā and, most powerfully, your Guru Mantra. At that time, different sounds appear according to Nāḍī Yoga. That sound is when each petal is opening from the chakra. The unfoldment of the lotus petal of one chakra opens beauty in your consciousness, in your life. At that time, there is a resonance, which you have from these letters on the petals of the chakras or kuṇḍalinī. For more information, you should read our book, Hidden Powers in Humans: Kuṇḍalinī and Cakra, or you read, you know very well. So each opening is like love, happiness, light (which is wisdom), and contentment. These are the four petals of the Mūlādhāra Chakra. That is the fundamental, or the basic, of our entire existence, or for the awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī. Like in our human life, four things have to be realized, which we spoke of last week: dharma, artha, kāma, and mokṣa. And so these four petals of the Mūlādhāra Chakra are that balancing in your life: Dharma, Artha, Kāma, and Mokṣa. At that time, that consciousness or kuṇḍalinī makes its path towards the sahasrāra cakra. And at that time, beautiful sound, beautiful sound. Resonance. That resonance is not like physical resonance. It is said something like an artist, when he is painting, you can record it like music. Or when someone is playing music, the artist can paint what the music is. Indescribable. That is a feeling. Feeling is a resonance. Anger is a resonance. Jealousy is a resonance. Hate is a resonance of many, many things. And so, at that time, bandhan se nirbandhan ho jātā hai. At that time, you become nirbandhan. Saran parayan ho jave to nirbandhan hoi bhi sarey. Gurudev bina karaj nahi sarey. This bhajan, you know very well. Koti Upaya Kare Koi Chahe, Koti Upaya Kare. Without Gurudev, we cannot be successful. Koti means thousands. You can do thousands of techniques, you can read thousands of literatures, you can do thousands of kriyās or anything, but you cannot be successful. That’s why it’s called Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalam. Dhyāna Mūlam Guru Mūrti, Pūjā Mūlam Guru Pādam, Mantra Mūlam Guru Vākyam, Mokṣa Mūlam Guru Kṛpā. So Mahāprabhujī, these are the words from God himself. Mahāprabhujī is saying: "Koī chahe koṭi upāya, na bhava-sindhu tere." You cannot cross this worldly ocean without that. "Gaṅgā jāvo, Kāśī jāvo, cāro dhām phire, Hare Hare, cāro dhām phire. Binve rāgī, udāsī, agyānī banve, rāgī dharam dhanai, sarai koṭi upāya kare, koī tahe koṭi upāya sindhuti re. Gurudev, Ganga jāvo, Kāśī jāvo, chāro dhām pire." You may go to Ganga for bathing, you may go to Banaras for bathing, or you may go to all the four main spiritual pilgrim places we have in India. Gaṅgā jāvo, Kāśī jāvo, cāro dhām phirī. Bin vairāgī, ban vairāgī, udāsī agyānī. Even if one becomes a vairāgī, then udāsī—these are different paths. Ban vairāgī, udāsī agyānī, they are all in ignorance. Dharavo dhan visare, and they give up all—families and money and this and that—but they are still in ignorance because they have not found a shelter at the Gurudeva’s holy feet. Out of fear, out of ignorance, out of some expectations, one is celebrating the ghost. Ghosts, black magic, you know, and playing with this angel and that angel and this ghost and that, you know. There they are surrendering. When the ghost says, "Sit down," then you will sit down. The ghost says, "Stand up," then you will stand up, you know, because there you are afraid. And giving the offering, giving the donation or anything, somewhere where the statues are, on the stones. Pāpī niveni Satguru āge—a sinner cannot bow down to the Satguru Dev. That’s why kast aneka bhare, that’s why suffering, suffering... many, many pains. Gurudeva bina karajan antarajami bina koti upaya kare, koi chahe koti upaya na bhava-sindhu tere garu-de-mi-ta-yupa-saka-e-mau-te-ra pandu-varata-are. Dīna-gyāna-ho-ve-nai-mukti-bina kaita-he-santa-sāgare garu-de-pā-i-cha-e-ko-ti-u-pā-i-pā-sindhu. Vrata upāsa kare bahu tera—fasting, long fasting, doing many, many things. Vrata upāsā kare bahu tera, bandhu bhūkā mare. Many, many fastings, long, long time, no eating, and like this. In ignorance, the stupid one is suffering. Only fasting cannot give you God’s darśan or liberation. We need the jñāna. Bina jñāna hove nai mukti. Mahāprabhujī said, "Without knowledge, you cannot achieve mokṣa." Kahat Sant, sagre—this has been declared by all saints, Sant, Sabhi Sant. Sant Sagre means all the saints say the same thing. Svāmījī said, "Surrender your body, your mind, and everything at the lotus feet of the Gurudev." If you take a seat at the feet of the Gurudev, then you are nirbandhan. From bandhan to nirbandhan. Bandhan means we are closed, as if we are tied by some rope; so karma has caught us. We are in the bandhana of the karmas, attachments, relations, and so many, and you are suffering for that. And this bandhana will let you suffer many, many lives. But if you surrender to the Gurudeva, nirbandhana hoi visare, at that time you are without any bandhana. You are free. You can go wherever you like to go. Gurudeva, be in Antarayāmī. At that time, when prāṇa and apāna enter or touch the suṣumnā nāḍī, then there is jhaṅkāra. A resonance that immediately appears in Chidākāśa, like lightning in the clouds. Beautiful sound. And the Svādhiṣṭhāna and Maṇipūra Cakra, or Mūlādhāra Cakra, has no more power, no more power to stop you or stop the Divine Śakti from merging with the Cosmic Śakti, Śakti to Śiva. Śiva means consciousness, and Śakti means the nature, energy. And at that time, within you, awakened happiness is present. Nāda, the sound. And therefore, Nāḍī Yoga is that beautiful part of yoga which can lead you very comfortably and full of experiences, full of the beauty of life, and many things. But of course, you have to follow many, many disciplines. You should be very disciplined, practicing physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, socially, politically, and so on. You should be very pure. That’s it. And that is not easy. Sometimes even heaven has a hole, so what can we do? We know what can we do. But try not to do, and if you do something, then do something for it—puṇya, puṇyātmā. Otherwise, remain away. So when you first meet Gurudev, then Holy Gurujī said—his expression when he saw the lotus feet of Mahāprabhujī—Holy Gurujī said: "Ākhiyā sattar dhumelā, ākhiyā sattar dhumelā, sattar dhumelā charaṇakamala mātājī." Are you singing? Moment, moment, moment. Stop, stop. We are all singing. One is going to Japan, another is going to Indonesia, and one is going to Germany. Moment. Read properly every word, okay? Yes. Don’t sing in the Australian dialect. I can’t read this from Gajānanda. You give me some normal reading. Gajānanda had destroyed everything. Thank you. This is much better, yes? So, read first what is written there. Let me drink water, okay? So, Nāḍī Yoga is very good for all of you. Practice at home Nāḍī Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jñāna Yoga, Rāja Yoga, Karma Yoga. Practice yoga, okay? Less bhoga and more yoga, okay? Today is finished. I wish you all the best, and see you tomorrow. If the weather is good, then at 11 o’clock. Enjoy your evening. Bless you all, dear brothers and sisters.
