HOW TO ESTABLISH IN BRAHMACHARYA?

I’ve been asked, that how one can be established in brahmacharya?

I’m a simple man, so my take is very simple on that, when your mind is developed to a level, that you have overcome all types of your libido – you will have no desire for sex, then brahmacharya will begin.

BRAHMACHARYA FINAL STATEMENT

When they talk about Brahmacharya, they keep saying – control You’re seminal discharge, control Your seminal discharge…You must be hear it, until the hemorrhoids pop out of the ears…

So, main thing is: seminal fluid is just a carrier for your sperm, it is just a carrier, the main power is in a sperm. Every single sperm have enough power to create a new life with a help of the egg. So when they are going deeper into Brahmacharya : the sperm which is actual life force, not a carrier of a fluid, nothing more than that – that sperm, the life force, or extension of Youreself, begin to be assimilate inside Your body, that will convert into Ojas!

And for Ladies: the egg, they are born with complete set of eggs, not they say, they say raj, raj mean control your seminal fluid, the blood flow, No! It’s egg, which comes out every month! It will start to remain inside, and it transform into their Ojas! So we need make our mind very clear, what is the true meaning of the Brahmacharya, the transform from seminal sperms to Ojas, and from the eggs of the woman to Ojas! It should be made clear! So I said it! Now it’s up to You!

SHOW CHARITY ( Brahmacharya discussion!)

Q: is it true if the person make himself celibacy and brahmachari will help him in practice because he will not lose so much energy and will hold it?
Guruji: main thing is: when your practice is good – you will achieve the state of brahmachari. It’s a difference!

Q: it doesn’t mean that you must forcibly hold yourself…
Guruji: it is impossible to practice it forcibly. But as a result of a very good practice you will achieve that.

Q: is it useful to limit the sexual activity?
Guruji: yes, a disciplined sexual life is highly recommended.

Q: what is discipline in sexual life, how it must be?
Guruji: when you’re trying to understand your mind, most of your libidos will disappear: that will be the beginning of disciplined sexual life. It’s all from the mind.

Q: but if you have the partner, who is not in the practice – maybe you will do it because of your care of him or her and not because of own impulses?
Guruji: ok. Show compassion(smiling). Charity!

Q: yesterday we discussed about brahmacharya – and You said it’s not the effort that you should hold yourself but it’s the result of the practice?
Guruji: when you will become more familiar with the working of your own mind; many different thoughts are coming to your mind and why they are coming. Most of the sex depends on the libido which you’re creating in your mind. So if the libido is no more, no longer there – you are as good as brahmachari.

Q: is it individual for any person or it’s a common stage?
Guruji: it is only for those who are trying to observe brahmacharya; otherwise who cares?

Q: but in the practice it exists some stage when it will not require so much efforts?
Guruji: the more familiar you will become with the working of your mind and more you will be able to observe why these thoughts are coming your mind – you will get beyond the libido things: libido is also a thought in imagination.

Q: so we’re not trying to observe brahmacharya – it will come natural?
Guruji: just keep it in your mind. Until unless your libido will remain – no amount of wearing iron underwear will help you.

Q: as I understand with the practice the false libido will go away?
Guruji: it’s just a temporary passing away. When you have set your goals very high and you want to go where no one else go before – these are a small things. And you also must remember: ultimately this act is just a breeding program. Or if you just want to attract the attention of the girl you declare publicly: I’m observing celibacy! Many of they come to test you. And you keep failing in your test( smiling). Instead of you doing charity – they will do charity.

Q: will such time come when you will need not so much efforts to reach some level?
Guruji: when practice and achieving the result of practice will become the main aim of your life – your whole life will remain concentrated to fulfil it. And it applies not only to yoga: in anything, whatever purpose you have discovered for yourself.

Q: but in any case it will take the effort to achieve?
Guruji: without effort – what you will get?

Q: that stage must come when you feel the great effect of the practice: then the interest will be more?
Guruji: no. if it is become main ambition of your life – only then you will go.

STAGES OF SELF-REALIZATION

Q: what is amrita actually?
Guruji: it maybe the name, given in ancient times for a special hormone which forms after certain level of yoga. It could be some very special hormone, which may form. Amrita is created inside the brain – and it has to be something like a hormone.
Is it possible to develop your biceps without heavy curling?

Q: could we say that it is one of the aims of Kriya yoga?
Guruji: not aim – it is just one of the results. Aim is self-realization.

Q: is the self-realization connected with the feeling “I am”?
Guruji: “I am” is one thing; but how many unaccountable possibilities are also carry “I am”? all these possibilities you need to discover. Otherwise self-realization will not remain complete. Each and every possibility.

PRITHVI NAMASKAR OR SURIA NAMASKAR

Q: according to physical training what is better to do – Prithivi Namaskar or Surya Namaskar?
Guruji: Prithivi Namaskar is always more recommended than Surya Namaskar. We have seen the difference.

Q: is it important to do it with mantra?
Guruji: yes! Saying loudly! If you will not say the mantra loudly – special breathe pattern will not come.

Q: is it possible to pronounce mantra a little bit faster than in record of mantra?
Guruji: no( smiling)

Q: but it’s too difficult!
Guruji: ok(smiling). Mind is different; keep trying!

SUKSHMA DJAGAT

Q: question about two Aghoris, who are now living here and who has 500000 attendants; they asked for a very little place to live here; but usually we’re perceiving ghosts in the shape of human body – of normal size?
Guruji: it’s the mental projection of their vayu sharira. They need very little space.

Q: so it’s the mental projection which we’re perceiving, it’s not the actual size?
Guruji: no.

Q: so the actual size is like pin point?
Guruji: like pin point of a needle.

Q: in Yoga Vasishta they described the whole Universe in one small stone?
Guruji: in one particle!

Q: on what depends this size of the Universe – it could be huge or it could be very small?
Guruji: we put too much stress on the size. Here is another word which we must try to understand: that world is called sukshma jagat. Sukshma means very small. So even the world of viruses and bacteria can also be called sukshma jagat, the minutest world.

Q: but our world is much more vast?
Guruji: from one point of view it is vast – but from another point of view it maybe inside the particle. Even the biggest Universe could be inside the atom. It’s too bigger thing.

Q: so it’s not the actual perception – it’s matter of the point of view?
Guruji: just a matter of proportion, from which side you’re looking.

END OF STORY – DOMINATE YOURSELF

Q: what is the real meaning of the word “tantra”?
Guruji: tantra means engineering, technical engineering.

Q: have You ever  the situation that from the heart You feel good for the person – but when You see the chart it was not so good – or maybe vice versa?
Guruji: no, never. Not yet.

Q: or maybe You saw that the person is not ready enough – but in the chart there were the great possibilities?
Guruji: no, it never happens.

Q: we discussed that human nature is to dominate; when the person starts practicing – his true nature will come up; so better to suppress somehow this dominating nature?
Guruji: no, just change the direction: instead of trying to dominate others – start dominating yourself. That is the end of the story.

Q: sometimes life gives us the situations where there is no other chance than to dominate…
Guruji: that is the situation; we’re discussing our general nature. Face the situation, don’t back out!

Q: maybe You have some general recommendations about the communication?
Guruji: there is no rules; I think communication should be good.

HOW TO CREATE ROUTINE IN PRACTICE

I will say – late evening time is the best for practice.

Q: just before going to sleep?
Guruji: it’s up to you.

Q: have You some recommendations about the food before the practice: how much time before is better?
Guruji: eat two morsels less and start within 10 minutes.

Q: now I have such a routine that I go to sleep about 10 in the evening; should I shift a little bit later?
Guruji: when you get up?

Q: about 7 in the morning
Guruji: ok, you can manipulate your time. But sleep is necessary. Initially you will maybe require more sleep than usual; then it will settle down after some time.

Q: so better leave some time in the morning – if the practice will affect much than to have some time for sleep?
Guruji: you can start getting up at 8 o’clock or 9 o’clock: if you can afford it – why not? I cannot stop myself from dramatic line, that the best sleep is always in the morning time. Better than night time.

WHAT THE CHART SHOWS

Most of my disciples needs two stones: emerald and yellow sapphire.

Q: Your opinion the charts are really valuable?
Guruji: I think it is valuable.

Q: I’m asking because someone can tell you something about your chart – and you become so much worrying and cannot do nothing with that?
Guruji: I will never say which will worry you. The world is doing its own part in creating so many worries for you. I don’t do that. But chart will tell you so many possibilities in your life – good and bad, but we must stress on the good things. So the bad qualities will go down and good qualities will come up; this much we can do.

NUTRITION IN A BRIEF

Q: what about of taking sugar?
Guruji: just listen to your body. You will become very sensitive as a result of yoga practice, it’s the effect: so just listen to your body. Accept those food which body accepts; others you reject.

Q: which food must be rejected for the yogi?
Guruji: we recommend vegetarian diet. Anything: list is given in Hatha Yoga Pradipika – just consult it.

ABOUT TATTOOS

Q: Your opinion about tattoos?
Guruji: if you want – keep them

Q: it exist the situation when some tattoos could support the practice or can help you in practice?
Guruji: practice depends on your physical effort and your mind. It is not exactly depending on any tattoo. I have no tattoos.

Q: so for what tattoos are needed?
Guruji: they are used for ornamental reasons only. Especially from African tribes it started. Maybe some American Indians – but mostly the African tribes. Now everybody is copying them. In India in the villages people have their name tattoo on the forearm; because there was so much cases when child disappeared in the crowd or something – so identity will remain with them. That way; their names were tattooed here.

USAGE OF SYMBOLS

Q: Tibetans in their six yogas given by Naropa are using vajras: are they used in Kriya yoga system?
Guruji: god has already giving you vajra. You just need to invoke it and feel its energy. Remember, vajra is the original weapon of the king of gods – Indra; it was built with the ribs and the spinal column of Dadhich rishi. So you also have vajra: you need to strengthen it. Simply carrying a symbol will be nothing: it will just remain a symbol. And over the time, over the years you will become so attached with that particular symbol that your mind will remain close for other things. Using unnecessary symbols are not recommended. That’s a point.

Q: so we have everything inside us already?
Guruji: vajra at least – it is there. And how you’re going to electrify it? Vajra – like thunderbolt – so wake up your subconscious mind and it will be energised and great energy will flow. Simple approach!

Q: so what do You think how this confusion started: instead of waking up inside someone put it outside?
Guruji: I will say: because some disciples were idiots and they were asking unnecessary questions: how it looks, how it looks? – so they draw a sort of a diagram: like this! – and they begin to carry it as a symbol, symbol of power. And again: it is a desire of everybody – dominate others; when they are trying to dominate others – they also trying to look different than normal people. Keep your mind free!

PRACTICE OF JAPA IN KRIYA

Q: what about practice of japa in Kriya yoga?
Guruji: you’re already doing it with every pranayama. The seed of all seeds you’re practicing. That is the bija of all and you don’t need to count it on mala also. Kabir has said the best: kar ka man ka chod ke man ka manka pher: the bead is called “manka”. Man ka – it will be translated “of the mind”. Kar ka man ka chod ke – leave the japa on mala and use the manka of the man( of the mind).

Q: what exact mantra we are using?
Guruji: seed of all seeds.

Q: is it ajapa japa?
Guruji: it is practice of yoga, which is japa; and ajapa also – all goes together.

Q: so the final point is to catch the vibration?
Guruji: final point now – as you stand now – is to open up your mind: so greater knowledge will flow inside. When you will touch one horizon – another you will see. Go on!

Q: I’ve discussed with several disciples and there are different opinions – so I want to ask You about it; first opinion is that you should sit in practice in any condition and do efforts every time to do it better and better; another opinion is that not the practice must be around the life – but the whole life must be around the practice?
Guruji: this is better, yes.

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

Q: the responsibility: the ability to take response on yourself?
Guruji: not many people are ready for that; but dominance may have so many different expressions. Emotional dominance, physical dominance, psychological dominance, financial dominance, social dominance, political dominance – it’s very wide.

Q: could we say that if the person is really responsible for his acts; could it be considered like dominance?
Guruji: most of the religions are telling you not to be responsible for what you have done: god will grant you forgiveness. Only in India the theory of karma applies: what you have done – you will have. Nobody will keep forgiveness in mind. If god is forgiving you – it means he already forgotten you, you’re no longer in his imagination. You’re not part of his consciousness or imagination or whatever: maybe he is not responsible.

HOUSE OF GOD 

Many things are called “house of god”; we have never seen god coming down and declaring – this is my house.

Q: how in India the place for the temple is decided? It requires some conditions of the place?
Guruji: yes, there is a vastu connected with every temple: how it must be create, select the land – all these things are available in books. Land is considered very well before creating the temple. And the design is also important.

Q: it exists some places which are forbidden to place the temple?
Guruji: in smashan you will never see any temple. For other places – there is no exact rule, but it should be good. Inside smashan I’ve never seen any temple. We need to look more deeply into it. Only we’re doing things in smashan.

Q: You have some recommendation for normal people, not a yogis – not to feel so much anxiety and fear? Nowadays the situation is hard…
Guruji: there are so many psychologists and priests who are ready to give them counseling. My counseling maybe not appropriate for them because we’re expose to very different type of life. I’ve never go out for many years – so I don’t know. They are experienced people in social things – so better ask them.

Q: how the murtis for the temple are created?
Guruji: there are many different rules, connected with creating a statue of any deity. They usually created on those principles.

Q: I heard about the ritual of prana pratishtha and invoking the deity into the statue?
Guruji: some connection from the deity established. When you start to worship it a certain things – anything is possible here.

Q: it exists the surest sign that now deity is living forever in this particular statue?
Guruji: not forever – but as long as you will continue to worship in a proper way.

Q: deity is coming into the statue only in the time of puja?
Guruji: we have seen some eyes movements of Babaji before puja, when he was blinking and smiling: there is no fixed rule. It depends on who is worshipping.

Q: if someone will stop worship – deity will com out?
Guruji: of course, yes.

FIRST SHOCK

Q: there is the sequence which could be increased from minimum to maximum: how to decide when you must increase the practice?
Guruji: whenever you’re doing well and you have enough time to increase.

Q: so better start from minimum…
Guruji: of course. Then go slowly and gradually.

I was 17 years old; it was the first shock of my life. My father sent me to some person with some message. I knocked the door; and 6-7 years old boy opened it. I asked: papa is at home? I want to see him. And he shouted: papa, a man is here to see you! That was first time somebody called me a “man”. This was big shock!
