Introduction to Chakras, Presov, Slovak Republic. Muladhara stores much karmic information about us. What is dormant in Muladhara is sprouting in Svadisthana. This is the place of kriya shakti and iccha shakti. If we purify this chakra, half way to our final goal is behind us. Manipura is the powerhouse of our body. Anahat is the place of our feelings. Vishuddhi is the door to the astral world.

A spiritual lecture on the Mūlādhāra chakra and the nature of haṭha yoga. "Haṭha means that you try very hard; you use willpower. We must have the willpower to achieve something. Don't give up. Try, try, try." "Therefore it is: renounce and enjoy. If you want to be happy, if you want to enjoy life, then renounce." A teacher explains the foundational Mūlādhāra chakra as the root of energy and the seat of the dormant Kuṇḍalinī. He details the three primary nāḍīs (Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumṇā) and defines true haṭha yoga as the forceful application of willpower for spiritual union, distinct from common physical practice. Through stories—including an ant's perseverance and a Haṭha Yogī who renounces even Śiva's offer—he emphasizes themes of relentless practice, renunciation of desire, and the ultimate goal of awakening energy to unite with divine consciousness.

An evening satsang on the illusory nature of time and the urgency of spiritual practice. "In reality, there is no time. Who created time? Animals do not count it. We humans made time."

The lecturer leads the discourse, exploring the human construct of time and its unstoppable flow. He shares parables, including one of a Himalayan rishi who learns his vast knowledge is but a handful of sand compared to the whole, and another of a yogi whose pride ruins his sādhanā.
