Yoga is a science
0:00 - 1:19 (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
4:25 - 4:46 (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 Nature of Kuṇḍalinī, Śiva, and Śakti
11:35 - 12:15 (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."

16:05 - 16:35 (30 min)
Evening satsang from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India.Emphasizing the vital link between spiritual health and the physical world, The lecturer delivers a powerful message regarding the sanctity of our natural surroundings.

Drawing upon the legacy of Vishwaguruji and the scriptures of the Bhagavad Gita, he reminds us that Lord Krishna exists within the trees, elevating them to the status of the divine. Swami Phulpuriji warns against the destruction caused by human greed, specifically deforestation and the use of harmful pesticides. He advocates for a return to respecting trees as "Neem Narayan," asserting that true mental peace and human survival are inextricably bound to the preservation of Mother Earth.
The value and the aim of humanlife
16:40 - 17:09 (29 min)
A spiritual discourse on the value of human life and the pursuit of self-realization.
"We do not know the value of a human life. When a merchant comes—like a divine master, a spiritual master such as Viśvagurujī—into your life, you have an experience."
"Our main aim as humans is to work for self-realization, for mokṣa, for jñāna, for brahma jñāna. Yet we are not working."
A speaker from the Oṁ Śrī Alagpuryā Siddha Pīṭha paramparā addresses a gathering at the Yoga and Daily Life center. He uses parables—a diamond mistaken for a stone and a king's exhibition—to illustrate how humans often miss life's supreme spiritual purpose while distracted by worldly attractions. He emphasizes that the aim of human life is self-realization, achievable by following the Guru's teachings, engaging in satsaṅg, and turning inward to discover divine energy and inner joy.

"If you are human, what should be the difference?... If we have some dharma, if we are doing bhakti, if we are doing spiritual practices, if we are following guru ājñā... then we are the human in human body."
A speaker at Om Ashram addresses a gathering, explaining why human life is a rare opportunity for liberation. He uses an allegory of a man trapped in a well to describe attachment to worldly illusion (māyā) and the need for a guru's guidance. The talk contrasts basic animal instincts with the spiritual duties that define a human being, urging the audience to follow the path of seva, bhakti, and sādhanā.

"From time immemorial, the Vedas were telling karma yoga and spiritual practice go together. Always go together."
The lecturer explains the sixth mantra, which presents a paradox: exclusive pursuit of either worldly knowledge (avidyā) or spiritual knowledge (vidyā) leads to a form of darkness. He clarifies that the path is to use both together—worldly knowledge for life and spiritual knowledge to transcend death. The teaching emphasizes understanding both the manifest and unmanifest realities to cross beyond attachment and attain liberation.

He emphasizes the inner light passed down the guru lineage and the importance of niṣkāma (selfless) seva, illustrating this with stories of Holī Gurujī's devoted service to Mahāprabhujī. He concludes with an account of Mahāprabhujī's mahāsamādhi.

Yoga in Daily Life: Union, Harmony, and Self-Knowledge
19:15 - 20:32 (77 min)
Yoga is the science of union, balancing body, mind, and consciousness to achieve harmony. Problems arise from imbalance within ourselves. Yoga offers practical methods for this balance, leading to inner peace. True yoga aims for the union of individual consciousness with the cosmic consciousness. We originate from this cosmic source but develop separate qualities over time. To reunite, we must purify our qualities, cultivating human virtues like love and kindness while overcoming negative traits. Yoga is practical, not theoretical. Physical postures and breath control promote health and calm the mind. Observing the breath is a key meditation technique. Our inner energy flows through channels called nāḍīs and centers called chakras. The journey begins at the Mūlādhāra chakra, the seat of latent consciousness. Awakening moves energy to the Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra, associated with water and emotion. This chakra houses qualities like passion and anger, symbolized by a crocodile representing laziness and karma. Purifying these emotions through tolerance and kindness allows progress. The ultimate goal is self-knowledge and liberation from cycles of suffering.
"Yoga is a balancing principle which balances the entire universe."
"Know thyself is the answer to all your questions."
