A spiritual discourse on the five sheaths of existence and the nature of life. "God has given us this body. When the soul, the ātmā, enters the body, it comes into this world, to Earth."

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.

A representative describes the 11-year-old Yogasātar tent at the Sziget Festival, which offers short, tailored yoga sessions to introduce festival-goers to practice, relaxation, and meditation.

A spiritual discourse on the chakra system and the qualities needed for self-realization. "Spiritual practice means not only just to sit and meditate and practice mantras, but to change inner feelings. Humbleness is one of the best parts of spirituality." "Dayā dharam kā mūl hai, pāp mūl hai abhimān... the roots of the dharma, right-house-ness, is the mercy. And the roots of the sins is the ego." Swami Brahmapuri leads a satsang, continuing a series on the chakras. He transitions from discussing the foundational Mūlādhāra Chakra to explaining the Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra.

He illustrates these principles with stories of Krishna and Shiva, and gives practical advice, including how to care for a rudrākṣa bead. Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

A spiritual discourse on the inner light and the practice of trāṭaka. "Our soul, our ātmā, comes into our body from the cosmic energies.

"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.

If your mālā has some value for you, you will keep it in a safe place... Because of that, you will, from your mālā, get energy when you need it." A speaker leads a satsang, emphasizing the profound impact of words, gestures, and intention. He discusses how language shapes reality, using examples from addressing others to serving food and respecting spiritual objects like a mala.

Chakras, Nadis and Kundalini
21:10 - 21:49 (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
