Without Gurudev the whole world cries

Yoga is a science
2:10 - 3:29 (79 min)
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."

The Pearl of Everlasting Bliss
3:35 - 3:56 (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."

The Four Aspects of Grace and the Path to Self-Love
9:50 - 10:23 (33 min)
The video explores the four aspects of grace, culminating in a detailed explanation of self-love or Kuṭkī Kṛpā. "Love each and every living being, if not more, then at least as much as yourself." "We cannot really love others if we don’t love ourselves."
The teaching defines Deva Kṛpā (divine grace for human incarnation), Śāstra Kṛpā (grace through scriptures), Guru Kṛpā (the Guru's grace), and finally, Kuṭkī Kṛpā, which is one's own grace or self-love. This self-love is framed not as ego but as a high vibrational energy essential for spiritual growth. A practical method for cultivating it is presented through a three-step inner process: accept yourself as you are, seek to understand how you became that way through self-inquiry, and then move to giving, which includes forgiving yourself. A true story illustrates the healing power of sending love to one's own body. The session concludes with a parable about Guru Nānak's disciples, explaining how present actions interact with past karma, demonstrating that good deeds like attending satsaṅg can purify severe past karma, transforming major suffering into minor hardship.

The Nature of Kuṇḍalinī, Śiva, and Śakti
12:05 - 12:45 (40 min)
Kuṇḍalinī is the energy and consciousness within us, encompassing our karma and destiny. It is the union of Śiva and Śakti. Śiva is pure, liberating consciousness—the ultimate truth and beauty present in all, beyond gender. Its seat in the body is the Brahmaraṅdhra at the crown. Śakti is the active energy entangled with karma, longing to merge with Śiva for liberation. This union brings Turīya, Self-realization, and the end of rebirth. The human life is the sole opportunity for this realization. Awakening Kuṇḍalinī is a subtle, indescribable spiritual process requiring a master's guidance and years of sāttvic preparation to avoid dangers of the mind straying. It cannot be forced; it arises spontaneously in the correct relationship. The spiritual lineage ensures safe progress.
"‘I am the pure consciousness’ is wisdom; ‘I am the body’ is ignorance."
"When Śakti merges into Śiva, that is liberation."
