The Pearl of Everlasting Bliss
0:40 - 1:01 (21 min)
Life's deepest treasure is complete and everlasting bliss, the crown of self-realization rooted in God-realization. Rare beings attain this pearl of Paramānanda. A seeker's deep prayer brought him face-to-face with his divine master, seeing the form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. He became a true disciple, devoting body, mind, and soul. He received the highest spiritual initiation, instantly attaining samādhi. His life was a permanent establishment in the highest spiritual experience under his master's guidance. As a spiritual successor, he built and established āśrams, tirelessly spreading the light. He preached non-dualism, non-violence as the highest religion, and the unity of all humanity through song and service. His devotion was Parabhakti, love without reservation, repeating the divine name for over eighteen hours daily. Such love overcomes all obstacles between us and God. He became a living testament that this realization is possible.
"My eyes filled with tears, and I fell to my knees. I knew I had found the everlasting light of my life."
"All humans belong to one religion, and that is humanity."

The Destiny
1:05 - 2:26 (81 min)
Our body is a divine energy system of chakras, and destiny is recorded within it. Chakras are energy centers connecting consciousness, space, and energy. The body is an indescribable creation; it transforms food into life in a way no machine can. Our destiny is the fruit of past actions, recorded in our energy field like an unerasable line on stone. We cannot delete it, but through spiritual practice, we can rise above it. The Ājñā Chakra, or third eye, when opened, grants vision of past, present, and future. Negative energies—Kāma, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Ahaṅkāra—arise from the lower chakras and bind us. These must be replaced with positive qualities: Tyāga, Vairāgya, Bhakti, Jñāna, and Viveka. A practice like Pañcāmṛta—a mixture of milk, yogurt, butter, honey, and pure water—used in worship, can help purify energy and balance the chakras. Following a master's guidance can help monitor and navigate destiny, though not erase it. The aim is to realize the oneness of all consciousness.
"Destiny is a line on the stone. We can't delete it."
"When we realize the oneness, then there is no difference between God and us, because it's the same energy, the same space."

When we turn the light of knowledge (gyana) on, darkness will disappear.
Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 2 - Part 2
6:00 - 7:11 (71 min)
The practice of Yoga in Daily Life continues systematically from Level Two, beginning with relaxation and progressing through specific āsanas and prāṇāyāma. A session starts with three Oṁ chants and deep relaxation in Ānanda Āsana, consciously releasing tension from toes to forehead. The full yoga breath is practiced, coordinating a three-part wave with movement. The āsana sequence includes Meru Pṛṣṭhāsana for spinal flexibility and energy, Catuṣpada Āsana for stretching and organ function, and Cakrāsana for posture and digestion. Each posture is performed with attention to breath, comfort, and the resulting physical and energetic effects. The practice concludes with prāṇāyāma to balance breath channels and a meditation preparation, ending with chants for peace.
"Āsana means, except for other meanings, also comfortable. So āsana should be a comfortable position."
"After exhalation, try to feel the complete relaxation of all the muscles and the inner peace, and stop all the movements in your body."

Renounce
7:15 - 8:21 (66 min)
The path requires spiritual discipline through specific principles. Enter the divine kingdom through sacrifice and renunciation. The first principle is austerity, the strength to endure situations without being offended. The second is work; without puruṣārtha, one attains nothing. Dharma, prosperity, duty, and liberation are realized only through disciplined action. Dependence—financial, physical, or emotional—is a source of suffering. Cultivate multi-talented readiness for any work to eliminate fear and attachment. Practice discipline and regularity in all things, including diet and conduct. Study sacred texts and introspect to know thyself. Renounce attachment to remain free while fulfilling your duties. Success is self-knowledge and becoming a guiding force, achieved through austerity, renunciation, study, and constant practice.
"Without work, no one gets anything in the world."

There is no end of learning
8:25 - 9:06 (41 min)
The ashram is heaven on earth, a place of immense energy where the Guru is always present in essence. A journey unfolds through divine guidance, not personal will. A trip to India for Guru Pūrṇimā was redirected by unseen forces, leading one back to the ashram family. Later, guidance came through a spoken sentence about Romania, which led to the establishment of an ashram there through inner instruction, not conversation. A pilgrimage to holy sites in the Himalayas was similarly guided, with paths clearing miraculously to allow darśan. In all endeavors, the Guru's direction is for self-learning. Yoga is a path to discover who one is. Scientific research into modified prāṇāyāma, inspired by the Guru's words, later fostered a university collaboration and a successful public yoga event, where a protective cloud appeared as a sign.
"With our yoga in daily life, it is not just āsana. It is a way to learn about ourselves and to look at ourselves."
"One sentence from Gurudev can change and influence so many things."

The evolution of the Universe
9:10 - 10:01 (51 min)
Yoga is the ancient science of body, mind, and soul, originating from the very beginning of endless cosmic cycles. It stems from the interplay between universal consciousness and space. The creator, Śiva, manifested from the primordial sound, or resonance, which holds the universe together. This resonance is in every cell, creating harmony. Yoga is not merely physical exercise but the pursuit of health, balance, and oneness. The human body is a microcosm of five elements and contains energy centers, or chakras, along subtle nerves. Our awareness and practices like prāṇāyāma, postures, and chanting purify these energies, address ailments from stored emotions, and align us with the cosmic dance of creation and dissolution, leading toward liberation.
"Yoga is not just that physical exercise. We call it yoga because it must bring good health, balance, harmony, and oneness of body, mind, and soul."
"From the end of the spinal column is the seat of Śiva and Gaṇeśa. Gaṇeśa is in the Mūlādhāra Cakra. Mūla means roots."

We should try to develop good quality and maintain it
11:15 - 12:04 (49 min)
Yoga is the ancient science of body, mind, and soul, given for human well-being. Its authentic postures and philosophy are detailed in ancient texts like the Śiva Saṁhitā. Modern, commercialized yoga often ignores this depth, leading to potential harm from incorrect practice. True health requires quality nourishment—organic, sattvic food—and mindful consumption, not just following tastes. Our mental health is influenced by social company and trends, which can manipulate us. Spiritual health requires rising above ambition and practicing tolerance. Key principles for life are dharma (righteousness), dhīraja (fortitude), mitra (true friendship), and commitment to one's life partner. Without mastering physical, mental, and social health, spiritual progress and real meditation are impossible. Meditation is not making selfish requests but achieving a motionless state leading to self-realization. The path involves the eight limbs: yama, niyama, āsana, prāṇāyāma, pratyāhāra, dhāraṇā, dhyāna, and samādhi. Practice is essential; theory alone is worthless. The goal is to realize the oneness of knowledge, knower, and object, which is God-realization.

We are full of resonance
12:10 - 13:04 (54 min)
All paths converge to a single essence. Different masters and gods are like separate drops that ultimately enter the ocean. From that ocean, differentiation arises again, just as water evaporates to form clouds. The purpose is to understand why some return quickly while others fall far away. A story illustrates this: seeds ground between two stones become flour, but a handful near the central hook remain complete. Those who surrender at the holy feet are like those seeds; they are not ground but come to the highest. Another story tells of a yogi saddened by slaughter; in meditation, it was revealed the karma belongs to the actors, not the witness. Satsang attendees are already there and will reach the supreme. The sound within, like the ocean's resonance, is Nādarūpa Parabrahma. This vibration is in the whole universe and within all. Do not sit passively like a dead body; respond and awaken to this sound.
"Those who come to the Gurudevs, or your God, or your temples, or your church—where we are at the holy feet of the gods—they will not be ground."
"It is their karma, and they will get it back again. But you have done nothing. You see, it is painful, but you have not done."

Spiritual Sadhana
13:10 - 14:03 (53 min)
The practice of yoga and discipline aligns the practitioner with the divine. All spiritual beings become the God they worship, regardless of religion. Creatures of the dawn awaken for a higher purpose, while those active only in darkness engage in negative actions. Humans should emulate the discipline of the dawn, rising early for practice like the military, to restore balance. True yogic practice extends beyond physical postures to deeper spiritual levels. Great masters from India's lineage demonstrate profound spiritual power, performing miracles like restoring life. This land is considered divine. The current time is an opportunity to stay home with family and cultivate compassion, which is the root of all religion.
"All those who are spiritual, those who are ceremonious, they are that God which they worship."

What is God?
14:10 - 15:08 (58 min)
The divine is perceived as both formless and with form. The formless God, Nirākāra, is like the horizon or sky—everywhere yet unreachable. The personal God, Sākāra, has a form we can relate to, speak with, and worship. Scripture states both are valid, but for humanity, worship with form is easier as it allows for relationship and dialogue. Our human nature encompasses both aspects. We are advised to use our divine potential through proper practice, as our latent powers can lead us toward divinity or negativity. How we speak and act directly impacts our spiritual and physical well-being, as our energy flows through subtle centers. We must choose a path that awakens our higher consciousness.
"both are good, Nirākāra and Sākāra, the formless and with form. But he said, for you... it is easier to worship in form."
"you have a chance of being a human... you are divine, you are godly, but all is dormant."

Share the bread with everyone
15:15 - 16:02 (47 min)
Christmas conveys a dual message of joy and sorrow to awaken compassion. Holy incarnations appear for a purpose or remain as constant saints. God sustains all life, yet human greed corrupts this natural provision. The season reminds us of divine births, like Jesus, born into hardship to exemplify love and perseverance. Living in this complex world requires balance, like a tongue amidst teeth. True saintliness is an inner quality, not an external uniform. The path demands positive thinking toward all, without judgment, as divine figures work to show the way.

Be within thyself
16:10 - 16:55 (45 min)
True meditation is found within, not in external pursuits.
External experiences are temporary, like falling leaves or pictures of food that cannot satisfy hunger. The source of lasting peace and power resides inside every person. Looking outward in meditation is like a father distracting a child with promises; the comfort is fleeting. A seeker performing many rituals found no peace until instructed to simply rest inwardly and surrender all effort. Another devotee could not see Kṛṣṇa in meditation until taught to calm the inner vision. All that is sought—God, the guru, harmony—is already present within the self. The journey requires turning the senses inward to discover the permanent source behind the temporary world.
"Go within thyself. Whatever is given from outside is given... But what is given from outside is temporary."
"Close your eyes and rest. Give it to me... Don’t think anything. Now you should know that I am in my body."

The Essence of Yoga in Daily Life
17:00 - 17:35 (35 min)
Yoga in daily life is the integration of spiritual discipline into every action. You must know your purpose. I taught yoga abroad and required a commitment to vegetarianism, refusing to teach those who ate meat. In India, some who never ate meat now do. Upon waking, affirm "I am a human being." Water is divine; a few drops remind you it is within all. Apply it like an injection to feel Jagadīś in your body. Do not let animals into sleeping rooms, though a cat or goat is good. Protect animals and India. Sanātana Dharma exists only in India. Many Indians abroad worship and have left meat. Practice yoga daily. Protect animals, protect India. Do not let animals into the house. The alternative to mobile confusion is to say Om when using the telephone.
"Water is Jagadīś. Jagadīś, Sarveś, Jagadīś, Bhagavān."

Mantras and Bhajans
17:40 - 18:20 (40 min)
Satsaṅg is the gathering where truth resides and God is the center. Life transforms in its light, allowing action with detachment. The broader meaning is a gathering of like-minded individuals focusing on God beyond any single religion. The closer meaning is the place where truth itself resides. Bhajans are the songs born from the realization of saints, expressing divine glory through poetry and melody. Diving into bhajans reveals endless layers of truth, which deepens with devoted repetition. This practice is a gentle medium for revelation, a base teaching requiring only voice or mind. To sing bhajans is to communicate with God and the masters, understanding their teachings.
"The center of every satsaṅg is God. It doesn’t matter which name."
"Bhajans highlight the glory of God in whatever form... The more often you repeat, the more you sing with devotion, with bhakti, the more the truth will reveal itself to you."

Awakening of muladhar
19:15 - 19:57 (42 min)
Chakras are energy centers where consciousness resides, defining character and problems. Your destiny (prārabdha) is created by past karma before your body forms. You control your present karma through action, speech, thought, and influence, but once acted upon, deeds become destiny governing future life and all current problems. The Mūlādhāra Chakra is the root foundation of consciousness based on that karma. It is the earth element, colored red for energy and Mother Consciousness. Its awakening brings safety, wisdom, and pleasurable energy, not physical sensations. The chakra's symbols include a four-petaled lotus representing the four ways life enters the world, an elephant symbolizing wisdom and prosperity, an inverted triangle for energy flow, and a coiled snake representing past, present, and future karmas—the dormant Kuṇḍalinī Śakti. Śiva (consciousness) and Śakti (nature) seek union here. Exercises like Bhujaṅgāsana and Śalabhāsana activate this chakra, strengthening the back and influencing the root center for physical and mental balance.
"As long as you are not doing anything, it is still under your control."
"The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means wisdom. You become very wise, you become self-confident."

The Foundations of Consciousness: Understanding the Chakras
20:05 - 20:37 (32 min)
The chakras are borders of consciousness. Energy centers are located at the body's major joints, marking transitions between kingdoms of nature. Concentrating on the earth chakra at the feet can lead to depression and accelerated aging. The area from ankles to knees governs animal consciousness and behavior. The five human chakras remain mixed with these lower qualities. The Ājñā Chakra is the border between human and divine consciousness. Awakening it reveals the inner master, though the outer master remains essential. Confusion arises when this center is clouded by intellect and ego. Ājñā means command, granting authority over the senses and freedom from karma. The Mūlādhāra chakra is the root foundation of physical and psychic stability. Its red color symbolizes the energy of Mother Earth, blood, and Śakti. This energy is worshipped as the divine feminine. The lotus flower symbolizes pure devotion and love, remaining unstained by the world.
"Gu means darkness, and Ru means light. You enter into the light of wisdom, and you cross the border of this darkness."
"Ājñā means order. Ājñā means command. So you become the commander because you know what to do."

The Awakening of Kuṇḍalinī: A Journey to Happiness, Love, and Wisdom
20:45 - 21:13 (28 min)
The awakening of Kuṇḍalinī brings happiness, universal love, and wisdom. Our journey spans many lives as we develop individual consciousness, which is part of the cosmic Self. Yoga is the practice of reunion with that Self. Energy from the cosmos is received through rotating chakras and circulates through five bodily layers. The causal body holds two levels: transient joy and divine, everlasting bliss. The soul is a collection of karma and qualities, not the eternal Self. At self-realization, this collection dissolves. When the physical body dies, karma persists like a shadow, guiding the soul's future. Chakras must be purified through mantra and practice for a stable awakening. Without guidance, imbalanced energy causes disturbance. The term Kuṇḍalinī refers to feminine energy residing in the unconscious, with its serpentine movement through the nerves symbolizing this awakening.
"Yoga means union, and practicing yoga means reunion."
"The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means happiness, universal love, and wisdom."

States of consciousness reveal our inner and outer life.
Waking activity is for the outer world, using all energy from sunrise to sunset. In sleep, we are within ourselves, aware of the inner self filled with divine feeling. This sleep is not nothing; it is a vital awareness given by God. Deep sleep is being one hundred percent aware of the self, comfortable and peaceful. The dream state contains things within ourselves, both good and bad. A constant alertness exists between these states. Therefore, sleeping is very important. A higher level is Yoga Nidrā, a sleep of consciousness toward the Supreme, practiced by yogis.
"In sleeping, we were within ourselves. Our whole being is with us, filled with very, very divine feelings."

The essence is the unstruck sound, the Anāhada, realized through devotion beyond form and thought. This is not an experience of the body or mind. It is beyond all attributes, beyond the forms of Rama or any shadow. It is the formless void that holds the supreme form. Neither meditation nor chanting can reach it. It is understood only through the grace of the true Guru. One must surrender at the divine feet, seeking mercy and blessings for liberation. The devotional offering is the path.
