Learning in the Gurukul
0:20 - 0:56 (36 min)
Recorded on
A presentation on the Gurukul education system and its philosophical foundations. "In our Gurukul, we have a different education. Not this modern education where they only want to work and earn money, earn money, earn money." "The knowledge that has been taught in the Gurukul, according to the culture of India and according to the knowledge of the sages of India, we will do it." A spiritual teacher speaks from the Om Shri Visva Dip Gurukul in Rajasthan, outlining the history and purpose of the traditional Gurukul system. He emphasizes education as a sacred, cultural duty focused on knowledge and morality over material gain, introduces the Gyān Putra scholarship project, and explains the significance of the students' Pitāmbara (yellow) uniforms. The talk is followed by an address from Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar Śrī Gyāneśvar Purī Jī Mahārāj, who discusses the logistical and ethical challenges of education in India, contrasting the Gurukul's holistic approach with modern, commercialized systems.

Recorded on
A keynote address on non-violence, patience, and peace at a World Peace Council conference. "Wrong means will always fetch wrong ends. We must understand the basic fundamental: it is the means which become the ends." "Happiness is a peaceful state of mind. If you have a peaceful mind, you live in the present, and when you live in the present, you are happy." Swapnil Kothari, a teacher from India, delivers a speech exploring non-violence as a conscious philosophy, not just a default position. He argues for the primacy of ethical means over ends, asserting that violence breeds violence while non-violence breeds compassion and inner peace. He uses personal anecdotes, historical references, and a humorous story about marital patience to illustrate the stamina required for this path. Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

The teacher addresses the assembly, reflecting on the global spread of yoga since International Yoga Day. He cautions against practices focused solely on physical fitness or difficult postures, which he links to future injuries, and criticizes the commercialization of yoga.

A spiritual teacher addresses a gathering in an ashram, exploring the essence of spirituality beyond religious forms. He describes it as the harmonious union of mother (earth/nature) and father (divine light/energy) principles, manifesting as inner joy, peace, and oneness.

The Power of Tapasyā: Pārvatī's Resolve
3:15 - 4:03 (48 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse narrating the story of Pārvatī's resolve to perform tapasyā (austerity) and explaining its power. "Tapasya is the giver of happiness and the remover of all troubles." "Through the power of tapasyā, Brahmā is able to create this world. Through the power of that tapasyā... Viṣṇu is able to protect the world. And through that power of tapasyā, Śiva, is able to destroy all the negative powers." The speaker recounts how Pārvatī, consoling her mother Mēnā, describes a dream in which a Brāhmaṇa instructs her to undertake severe spiritual austerity, affirming the truth of sage Nārada's words. The narrative details the immense power of tapasyā, using the examples of the Hindu trinity and Śeṣanāga, and describes Pārvatī's subsequent journey into the forest for a prolonged, extreme penance to attain Lord Śiva. The discourse frequently shifts to address a modern audience directly, exhorting them to cultivate similar willpower in their own sādhanā (practice) to overcome mental obstacles and attachments.

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. The core teaching outlines five spiritual qualities—Vairāgya (detachment), Tyāga (renunciation), Bhakti (devotion), Jñāna (knowledge), and Dayā (mercy)—as the means to overcome negative obstacles like desire and anger.

Chakras, Nadis and Kundalini
20:45 - 21:24 (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

Mind and chakras
22:05 - 22:30 (25 min)
Recorded on
A lecture on the nature of the mind, subconscious impressions, and yogic philosophy. "Our senses are mostly connected to and work with the consciousness, the awakened state." "The mind is that principle which functions between the conscious and subconscious, pendling up and down." The teacher provides a detailed explanation of how sensory impressions become stored desires in the subconscious, using the analogy of an unfulfilled ice cream craving manifesting in a dream. He describes the mind as a pendulum between conscious and subconscious levels, warning against blocking mental energy and instead advocating for directing it through self-discipline. The talk expands into the relationship between emotion, intellect, consciousness, and the nadis (Ida, Pingala, Sushumna), linking psychological concepts to the chakra system and the dormant energy of kundalini.
