KHECHARI MUDRA 2
3 sections
§1
Khechari shown to the police, and a joke
Book 2 · Humour, films, comics, tea and the Darshan room Also: Kriya Yoga practice
if one day will come to house – will khechari help us?
Guruji: definitely. Instead of arresting you – you just show them your mouth, they will take you to the hospital (laughing).
I hope I’ll never use it that way.
Guruji: no need! Better for showing khechari get 100 or 1000 dollars – that will work more quickly.
§2
Nabho mudra and the prerequisite of three hours thirty-six minutes in lotus
do those other guys teach khechari mudra?
Guruji: they call it nabho mudra: that is another name for khechari. Let’s come down to more basic things: khechari mudra will not give you effect until you can sit in lotus for 3 hours and 36 minutes. That is the beginning. Like you go to the gym, do some bench press and curling: in a week you will not look like Arnold Schwarzenegger. It will take years and years of training – even to look a little like him.
I don’t want to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger – now he is a dedushka.
Guruji: but he was once upon a time.
§3
Fighting for peace; Gandhi and non-violence against violent times
Book 5 · Politics, war, democracy and the new world order
We’re still trying to understand one dialogue: what are you doing? We are fighting for peace. I don’t understand this.
but Mahatma Gandhi was also fighting for peace?
Guruji: no, his motive was different: he was fighting for rights of people there. I think maybe he was successful. And he was not fighting with weapons and guns. We love hero worship. Let the hero come – and he will fight for us and everything will be alright: we all love this thought. Quotation from “Terminator”: it is your nature to destroy yourself. They knew: the nature of human being is so violent: that’s why they were trying to teach them non-violence. To be in extremely violent world: in monarchy time was extremely violent – we cannot even imagine now that violence. And they were practicing non-violence then. That was very serious thing to do, it was the very big achievement.
for India consequences was not so good – of this non-violence?
Guruji: no, they were good.
but muslims invasion?
Guruji: those were king’s time – they were also fighting. All the kings: you become a king by the force of your sword, not with speeches. But then Mahatma Gandhi started something very different, and his non-violence offset the violence of Adolf Hitler: they were contemporaries. Maybe that’s why educated people or intellectual people took notice of this non-violence – because they were suffering with too much violence. Maybe to balance.
