Dear Swāmījī, what is the best moment to receive Kriyā? How should we know that we are ready? And does it mean that we are no longer using our personal mantra? You will receive Kriyā in the summer seminar. If you have already had your personal mantra for three years, then you are not allowed to change it. To receive Kriyā means you now have to practice your personal mantra more. Practice every day. Be sure that you will follow Swāmījī. Then your Kriyā will be successful. On the Complete Yoga Breath How do we perform the complete yoga breathing? Because we were taught in two different ways. In the Hungarian book, it is properly written; I don't know how it is written in the Hungarian book, but in the yoga book, it is written correctly. Yoga breathing is from the stomach: first inhale into the stomach, then the chest, then exhale first from the chest, and go like a wave. This is a very good question because it's a technical question, and for all practitioners, it's very useful. It can happen that we misunderstand. Āyurvedic Advice for Deep Purification What is Āyurveda's advice for deep purification of the organism? Ṣaṭ karma, the Haṭha Yoga kriyā. We have ṣaṭ karma, and Āyurveda has pañca karma. Ṣaṭ karma means six karma techniques; Āyurveda has five, but this is the same: Netī, Dhautī, Bastī, Naulī. And eat only when you are really hungry. When you are really hungry, and you know that in half an hour you will get food, but you are very hungry, and you ate one apple—that was the biggest mistake. Because this one apple calms down your digestive fire (agni). And now in 40 minutes, or in half an hour, or in 20 minutes, the food will come. You will eat, but your agni fire is not so intensive, and therefore, it will not digest everything. If you know, also in Europe, we have dieting as one principle. And that is, before you begin to eat, you should take a very small appetizer, and that means again it makes your agni stronger. So I would say, eat when you are hungry. When am I hungry? Mikor vagyok éhes? Ez a kérdés. When you are hungry, one big, old, dry bread is as tasteful as your wedding cake. Akkor vagy igazándiból éhes, amikor az egy hetes száraz kenyér annyira ízletes számonra, mint a házassági tortát. That means you are hungry. Ez azt jelenti, hogy tényleg éhes vagy. And that will purify your body itself. Ez meg fogja belőlről tisztítani a testet. But we are in between so much eating and drinking, and all the time our fiery flame is so little. If we can control our between-eating habit, the body will be purified. --- Recording location: Hungary, Debrecen, Weekend seminar
