The Satsang

So fifteen days just enjoy my life. This is called “Yoga Danda”, the meaning of this is “awareness”. If you carry this in your hand, walk slow, breathe slow, the whole body should have that awareness.In...If you’re doing Living Enlightenment, you know that, what we, can... what we were supposed to be practising.

So your breathing, your belly movement, and movements of your body; all three you should be constantly aware. See, if you are having something in your hand, you cannot act fast. Naturally you will have awareness and walk, do things very slowly. So that is why this is given in the hand, it will usually, used in two forms; one will be long bamboo, or this, both are called “Danda”, both are called “Yoga Danda”. So, I’ll really recommend, all you guys carry this continuously, at least this one. Whole day, and night, carry. When you sleep put it under the pillow. When you wake up, take it. So that you remind, remember this twelve days, “physically, let me be aware. Aware. Aware. Aware.”

“Yoga Danda” means, which unites you with the Divine. So when you pick up this Danda, you do two things. One, the awareness, retained. Another one thing, ‘Abayam Sarva Buddaham’ you tell the whole world, “I give refuge”. “I am not enemy for anybody”. “I am not competition for anybody”. So, just have this Danda. Always carry it in one hand. So that you remember, you are supposed to be in “awareness”. And you remind others also, they have to be in awareness. If they forgotten, “Ehhh! Ahh! Get back.” So, Malaysian word the “Kurangkan laju”. Go slow.

So you’ll be given one Trishul also. These all like souvenirs. When we go to Shiva temple, take it, put it on Shiva, and take it back as prasad. His energy.

And the Kamandalu, to remember, you can remember, twelve days you lived Sannyas life.

And this Dhumroo is to play with me. So, have all these. So, I’ll show you how to keep it. This is the way you should keep it. But if you have all these things, how will you carry your bags? That is why aparigraha, drop all the bags and take just these.

Good. You may not be able to carry all these, everywhere, wherever you go. You can carry this Trishul, only when you go to Shiva temples, Kedar and Uthrakashi and keep it there and take it, that’s all.

And this will be something like a constant companion. Yoga Danda. Actually, I wanted him to get a Padukas also but it will be very difficult for you guys. You need to have shoes. That’s why I left it. With Padukas you can’t walk fast. “Ta tak, ta tak. Ta tak, ta tak”. You can only walk one step at a time.

It’ll be a amazing training for awareness, but a hilly region, you guys with shoes, if you walk itself, big job. Maybe for the sake of your health, I don’t want to do all that but keep this Danda. Constantly carry this Danda. Remember, awareness. Walk slow. Eat slow. Talk slow. Sit slow. Get up slow. When you walk, feel the, what is happening in the hip. Feel completely, continuously.

Okay, so, let’s start the journey. We will all experience Himalayas.
