We are eternal
3:05 - 4:05 (60 min)
We are all one, a single reality appearing as many. We live temporarily with ideas of "mine" and "yours," but these will pass. Like separate raindrops uniting into a flowing creek, then a river, and finally the ocean, we are that ultimate oneness. The human body and its conflicts are temporary, but the soul is eternal, a drop within the divine ocean. Intellectual knowledge alone cannot grasp this; one must experience it. A story illustrates this: a professor mocked a meditating yogi, claiming there is no God. The yogi asked why small plants bear large melons while large trees bear small cherries. When a cherry fell on the professor's head, the yogi noted that if it were a large melon, it would cause harm, showing God's design is perfect and good. The guru-disciple relationship transcends physical distance, with the guru's guidance and presence being eternal and ever-accessible. True understanding comes not from asking but from receiving grace naturally.
"Like rain falling... all drops unite to become the water that is flowing."
"God has done everything good."

The Endless Glory of the Rāmāyaṇa
4:15 - 5:06 (51 min)
The Rāmāyaṇa is the endless glory of God Rāma, a source of divine joy and wisdom. Listening to it grants devotion and liberates one from ignorance. Its blissful nature is compared to the full moon, bringing pleasure to all, especially saints. Lord Śiva originally narrated it to Pārvatī, and Tulsīdāsa conveys that telling. The glory of God and this narrative are infinite, like an ocean without borders. Entering this spiritual wisdom is gentle and blissful. Countless versions of the Rāmāyaṇa exist, as saints have always sung God's praise in diverse ways. Hearing it with love and without doubt is key. We naturally crave these stories because we are part of God; hearing them reconnects us to our source amidst life's worldly conflicts. Different devotees require different spiritual approaches, just as batteries need specific charges. Pure-hearted listeners are not surprised but enjoy this endlessly. I bow to my Guru and Lord Śiva, seeking blessings to describe Rāma's qualities. This was begun on a holy day in April. The sacred river Sarayū in Ayodhyā is where devotees bathe and remember Rāma, purifying their karma. One must always remember God, in happiness and trouble. That holy land liberates all beings who die there. Keep God in your heart, making it a temple.
"Those who listen to it will gain wisdom and bhakti devotion, and will cross the ocean of ignorance."
"Rāma is endless, and His qualities, His guṇas, are also endless. His līlās and the telling about Him are also without any boundary."

How did creation begin?
5:10 - 5:56 (46 min)
The spiritual journey is about coming to the ashram for darśana and unity. We travel long distances but are not tired because we are drawn to this spiritual atmosphere to receive energy and blessings. The purpose is to meet our spiritual family and advance step by step. Yoga in daily life means maintaining our practice in heart and mind wherever we are. Yoga is not merely physical exercise; it is the unity of all life and the path to the divine. It encompasses every movement and connection, including the meeting between beings. All existence stems from Parabrahma Paramātmā, from which Bhagavān Śiva emerged through the convergence of elements—this too is yoga. Life began with creatures needing to eat, leading to jīva-jīva-bhakṣate, life consuming life. As humans seeking purification, we must choose dharma over adharma, avoiding killing. The story of Buddha illustrates non-violence; he practiced extreme care for all life and advocated a vegetarian path. We may not become like Buddha or Kṛṣṇa, but by remembering them and following our techniques, we progress toward Parabrahma.
"One in all and all in one."
"Yoga is not merely movements in the body... The whole part of humans and all other creatures, where there is movement, life—it doesn't matter from whom it is... everything is yoga."

The Pearl of Everlasting Bliss
6:00 - 6:21 (21 min)
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."

11:20 - 12:13 (53 min)
The mantra "Oṃ Aki Rāchanā Śarīra" points to the uncreated body of Consciousness, not the physical form. This true nature is the eternal, unchanging Self that was never born and will never die. Chanting is not an invocation to something external but an affirmation of one's own reality. It dissolves identification with the temporary body-mind. The Uncreated Body is not an object to find but the very Subject, the I AM, and the knowing space in which all experience appears. It is the substratum of all states. Let the mantra's vibration resonate as a direct pointer to this truth. Chant with devotion and inquiry as a bridge from the illusion of being a person to the reality of pure Presence.
"Oṃ, the Uncreated Body."
"It is the very Subject, the I AM, the Knower of all experiences."

13:10 - 14:07 (57 min)
We reflect on Mahātmā Gandhījī as an embodiment of peace, love, and principled action. He was a divine soul who changed the world through knowledge of equality and non-duality. His life demonstrated simple living and higher thinking; he renounced everything to truly enjoy life. Renunciation is difficult, as greed clings like skin. Gandhījī lived his teachings. For example, when asked to advise a child against eating sweets, he first gave up sweets himself for a month so his words would not be hypocritical. His hard work was relentless; even in a moment of danger, he focused on productive labor. He showed love to all, including children and animals. True culture sees everyone as family—mother, sister, son—fostering unity and preventing harm. Great beings like Gandhījī and spiritual teachers exemplify peace, non-violence, hard work, and love. They show that love arises from within and is expressed through selfless action and truth. We seek this inner peace and love, often looking externally until we encounter a living example. Such a person embodies what we are all searching for, proving it is possible. By cultivating awareness and discipline day by day, we too can polish ourselves towards these qualities.
"Come after one month... since that day until today, I have not taken a little piece of sweet in my mouth."
"Where is love in all of this? The teachers are there to teach children from a point of love."

Practice and eat healthy food
17:35 - 18:33 (58 min)
Yoga requires holistic knowledge of practices like āsana and of natural remedies. Specific postures like Sarvāṅgāsana benefit the entire body, especially the thyroid, spine, and circulation. Viparītakaraṇī Mudrā aids digestion and prevents constipation when performed correctly, such as on an empty stomach. However, these inverted poses must be avoided by those with high eye pressure, for whom cold compresses are advised. Our deep knowledge of natural herbs and plants for healing has been lost. A story illustrates a yogī cured of cancer by a plant that spoke to him after twelve years. We possess powerful local flora, like European honey or acacia, which can be nectar or poison depending on use. This parallels modern food, where pesticides and poor cooking knowledge cause harm. Cooking is a vital science, and traditional knowledge, often innate in women, is essential for health. Yoga must be practiced gently, without competition, tailored to the individual. Personal practice like prāṇāyāma is crucial, yet grace can also bring benefit. We must purify body and mind through sādhanā.
"Similarly, with yoga. People try to make those postures which you think, 'Wow!' How will your grandmother come for yoga?"
"So, do you want to break the bones of others? Or do you give them a healthy body?"

Maya can destroy everything
18:40 - 19:22 (42 min)
Greed is a primary obstacle on the spiritual path. We can do great spiritual work, but one flaw like greed can cause a complete downfall. A hardworking man saw an advertisement for a magical golden egg promising wealth. His greed overcame his discernment; he spent all his savings on it, quit his job, and isolated himself to guard it. When it never cracked, he broke it open to find only a painted, empty shell. He lost everything. In desperation, he finally turned to his Guru. We often only remember divine support in crisis, but it should be a constant remembrance. Another story tells of a man who, driven by greed, left to collect endless gold from a mythical land. He ignored his Guru's warning that it was illusion, and he died there, still collecting. Greed attaches even to renunciates, as shown by a young swami who left his Guru to reclaim and sell ancestral land. He lost the resulting wealth in accidents and bad investments, ending up destitute. The remedy is devotion and correct practice. Mantra repetition must be done with focus, purity of heart, and respect—using the proper fingers, honoring the guru bead, and maintaining cleanliness. Ultimately, with true devotion and the Guru's grace, one transcends all rules.
"One of these things comes and we roll down the mountain, and boom."
"He is always going to forgive you, but it is not fair to Him that we just remember Him when we are in trouble."

A mother's spiritual instruction and the peril of ego illustrate the path.
A king indulging in pleasure is urged by his mother to renounce the world and seek truth. He immediately becomes a monk. His guru sends him to beg in his former kingdom, teaching humility. His mother then offers three cryptic advices: live in a protected palace, sleep on a comfortable bed, and eat royal food. She explains these mean living in an ashram under the guru's protection, finding comfort in exhaustion from sincere practice, and accepting alms as divine prasad. Separately, a muni performing severe austerity develops ego, believing trees and even the god of desire fear him. He is tempted by a maiden who secretly brings him sweet food, leading to attachment. He abandons his practice to pursue her, only to discover she is the god of desire in disguise, demonstrating how ego destroys spiritual progress.
"Offer it to your guru, and then accept that prasāda from him, whatever remains, and that is the beautiful royal food for you."
"I told you, if you have any type of this kāma, krodha, mada, lobha, ahaṅkāra in your sādhanā, I make those munis horses and dance on their backs."

In the cave of Sri Alakhpuriji
23:50 - 0:00 (10 min)
The only necessity is the Guru's grace. Initially, I was not permitted to enter a cave. Later, I was granted special permission to meditate inside. I felt honored. However, the cave was very cold. My feeling of specialness vanished as I grew uncomfortably cold. I prayed to leave. After some time, a person entered and I was able to exit. Following this, devotional chants came as a blessing. A key phrase was given: "Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalaṁ Śiṣyake Ānandamaṅgalam." Its meaning is that the Guru's grace alone brings bliss to the disciple. I was instructed to display and read this phrase daily. I later decided to experiment by setting this phrase to music, which resulted in a chant.
"Print out this sentence in big letters and stick it on the place where you go the most, and read it every day."
"Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalam is, as far as I know, that all you need is the Guru's grace."
