Yoga in Daily Life: The Fifth Level
1:00 - 1:38 (38 min)
Recorded on
A fifth-level "Yoga in Daily Life" class focused on asana practice and breath awareness. "Everything we practice in yoga has its purpose, and if we ask ourselves why, we must receive an answer. That is why we say that yoga is the science of the body, mind, spirit, and soul." "Āsanas do not act only on the body. They are also a correction of our behavior; they act on our consciousness; they affect our entire being." An instructor guides students through a detailed session, beginning with relaxation in Ānandāsana and emphasizing the purpose behind each alignment detail for reducing stress. The class progresses through a series of asanas including Pavanamuktāsana, Marjari Āsana, Paścimottānāsana, Upaviṣṭha Koṇāsana, Jānu Śīrṣāsana, and Mṛgāsana, with continuous focus on diaphragmatic breathing, mindful movement without strain, and the physical and subtle effects of each posture.

The Journey Beyond Duality: Life, Self, and the Path to Oneness
1:45 - 2:57 (72 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on yoga philosophy, the nature of the self, and the path to oneness. "Our life, as we said, is a destiny and a journey. It is a journey; the destination is still not there." "In Ātmā, in the self, there are no dualities; there is only oneness. So where there is heaven and hell, there is life and death... that's what we want to come out of, to become one with the highest, with our Self." Swami Anand Arun delivers an extensive teaching, exploring the journey beyond dualities like life/death and divine/demonic energies. He explains core concepts of Ātmā, karma, and the three guṇas, detailing the system of senses (indriyas), vital energies (prāṇas), and channels (nāḍīs). The talk defines yoga as union, clarifies traditional Haṭha Yoga, and maps the subtle body's chakras, concluding with anecdotes about advanced practices like Khecharī Mudrā and the nectar of immortality.

Opening of inner eyes
3:05 - 3:42 (37 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on the inner light and the practice of trāṭaka. "Our soul, our ātmā, comes into our body from the cosmic energies. It is like water from the ocean that rises to become clouds, and from the clouds, dripping water falls to the earth and flows onward." "Even the green grass, even any trees, bushes, all creatures—everyone has eyes, and they are all looking with their light toward their destination. Therefore, all our trees also have their eyes, and that is concentration, what we call trāṭaka." The speaker addresses a gathering of practitioners, explaining the journey of the soul and the universal presence of inner sight. He shares teachings received from his Gurudeva, using the metaphor of a seed's growth and a story about a guru's astral rescue of a devotee to illustrate the power of focused awareness (trāṭaka) and the spiritual significance of the navel (nābhi) as a point of energy and re-entry.

A speaker, conveying blessings from Gurudeva Swāmī Madhavānanda, explores the journey of the soul into the human body and the five energetic sheaths (kośas) that surround it. The talk contemplates the cycle of life, the nature of God across traditions, and ethical principles like non-violence and forgiveness, weaving in references to Jesus and a parable about a fruit tree.

Chakras, Nadis and Kundalini
4:35 - 5:14 (39 min)
Recorded on
A discourse on the subtle energy systems of yoga, including chakras, nāḍīs, and the mind. "The chakras are a methodological representation. You will not see this exact picture if you look within your own body, so do not try to see it literally." "The mind is a river; we should not block it. If we block a dam, we must provide an outlet. Without an outlet, the dam will break and cause greater harm. The mind needs direction." The teacher provides a detailed explanation of the chakra and nāḍī (energy channel) system, relating it to human physiology, the elements, and life metaphors like a leaf separating from a tree. Key themes include the symbolic nature of chakras, the function of the Iḍā and Piṅgalā nāḍīs, the dangers of improperly awakening kuṇḍalinī energy, and how suppressed emotions manifest as physical ailments. The talk integrates concepts of the five sheaths (kośas), the role of the guru, and the purpose of spiritual practice for holistic health. Filming location: London, UK
