A ceremony marking the 25th anniversary of a yoga center and its inauguration as an ashram in Ptuj. "Yoga in Daily Life is the authentic school of yoga from India. We, the teachers... carry this out as our mission. We do this voluntarily; we do not make a business of yoga." "Yoga is the science of body, mind, and soul. Two very important things to know are yoga and Āyurveda." A representative of the yoga center opens by recounting its 25-year history of community service. Swami Maheshwarananda (Swamiji) then delivers the main address, blessing the new ashram. He speaks on the ancient origins and holistic benefits of yoga and Ayurveda, sharing the story of Hanuman from the Ramayana to illustrate a point. The Indian Ambassador and local officials also offer congratulations. The event includes a mantra chanting and the presentation of a Shiva Lingam to the center. Filming locations: Ptuj, Slovenia.

The life of a sage demonstrates the attainment of everlasting bliss through divine realization. True happiness is the hidden treasure of life, found only through God-realization. A young seeker's profound prayer led him to his master, Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, an encounter he experienced as a homecoming. He devoted himself completely, becoming a monk through a supreme initiation that conferred instant samādhi. He was refined through austerity and his master's mercy. After his master's departure, he became the spiritual successor, establishing and caring for ashrams. He tirelessly spread teachings of non-dualism, non-violence, and universal humanity through discourse and song. His power flowed from unwavering devotion, meditating on his guru's name for over eighteen hours daily. This pure love overcomes all obstacles between the soul and God. He authored a biography of his master and was honored as a Dharma Samrāṭ. His divine consciousness merged with the cosmic in 2003. His samādhi shrine became his final throne. His disciple continues the divine mission. The sage's life is a clear message: identifying with the body is ignorance; realizing pure consciousness is wisdom. "My eyes filled with tears, and I fell to my knees. I knew I had found the everlasting light of my life." "Only love of such purity and intensity overcomes all obstacles and removes all the curtains between us and God." Filming location: Bola Guda, India

Yoga is the science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul, requiring spirituality. Our subject is Kuṇḍalinī and the chakras, the hidden powers in human consciousness. Chakras are rotating wheels that receive and circulate cosmic energy through the body. We possess five bodies or layers: the physical, energy, mental, intellectual, and causal bodies. The causal body holds both fleeting joy and divine, everlasting bliss. The soul is a collection of karma and qualities; it dissolves upon self-realization, merging with the cosmic One. Chakras must be purified through mantra, prayer, and yogic practices for the Kuṇḍalinī to awaken safely; without guidance, imbalance and unpleasantness can occur. Life is love, and God is love. Our happiness and world peace depend on individual friendship and forgiveness. We must act according to place and time. The Mūlādhāra chakra is the root foundation, associated with the earth element and the color red. The lotus symbolizes growing in the world while remaining untouched by its temptations and dualities. The four petals represent the four aims of human life: dharma (duty/righteousness), artha (wealth), kāma (righteous desire and procreation), and mokṣa (liberation). "Yoga without spirituality is like a body without a soul; no achievement can take place without spirituality." "If you protect your dharma, dharma will protect you." Filming location: Australia
