Success in Yoga
1:55 - 3:10 (75 min)
Yoga is a lifelong journey requiring correct practice and a true master, not mere temporary physical exercise. Śiva is the primordial source, the consciousness that is the entire universe. He manifested alone, then created Viṣṇu and Brahmā. All three functions—creation, protection, liberation—reside in Śiva. We are that one consciousness temporarily in bodies. Our path is determined by our choices and associations. We must follow the true master in an authentic lineage to ascend; otherwise, we are pulled down by desire and bad company. The chakras map this journey from base consciousness to liberation.
"Yoga is a lifelong journey."
"A real Satguru is one who has left the body; only then is he a Satguru."

Anahat chakra and spirituality
3:15 - 4:23 (68 min)
The human journey is from mental turbulence to the heart's peace. The world is turbulent because people's minds and hearts are turbulent. Money is not a true loss; character lost is everything lost. Human life is the most precious diamond, given not for begging but for protection and Self-knowledge. People suffer because they are extroverted, chasing impermanent things. Remember you are human; this awareness protects from mistakes. The mission is to serve, help, protect, and attain liberation from rebirth. The soul is individual, but the Ātmā is universal; all creatures are one's own Self. Follow the four pillars: Dharma, your duty; Artha, sustenance; Kāma, righteous action; and Mokṣa, liberation. Education is missing, leading to distraction. Practice yoga always to regain direction. The problem is within; be the change you wish to see. The Anāhata Chakra is the heart center. The Ātmā, the Self, is felt there. When awakened, it bestows qualities like peace, love, and forgiveness. Its shadow brings the opposite. Seek the Self within.
"Money is lost, nothing is lost. Health is lost, something is lost. But if the character is lost, everything is lost."
"Be the change that you want to see in others."

Shiva and the Chakras
4:30 - 5:55 (85 min)
The master bestows the nectar of immortality, liberating one from the cycle of life and death. According to eternal law, the master takes form to revive those trapped in mortality. This gift of immortality and bliss is understood within. Without fortunate destiny, one cannot attain this connection. That link is found in human birth, granting freedom from bondage and making one liberated while still living. The true master constantly dwells without attachment, and the disciple bathes in that light daily.

We need Gurudev
7:20 - 8:14 (54 min)
The disciple must never abandon the need for the guru or the teachings, for that is the gravest error. The guru is the principle that leads from ignorance to knowledge. This Guru Tattva is the essential diamond, not the physical form, yet it is embodied to provide tangible guidance. God aids the seeker by sending the guru, who is thus revered as indispensable. The aim is to merge the individual self with the cosmic Self, like a river entering the ocean. This is the Advaita understanding, where the one supreme reality is reflected in all individuals. This merging is the true purpose of yoga, achieved through the guru's grace and teachings. The embodied form concentrates this divine energy, making darśana transformative. The state beyond the three guṇas is inexpressible; it can only be pointed to as 'not this, not that.'
"The moment you think you know everything, very soon you will find yourself asking, 'Where are the bricks? Where is the parachute?'"

The origin of Jyotir Linga
8:20 - 9:13 (53 min)
Our inner voice and the quality of our thoughts shape our reality. We have tens of thousands of thoughts daily, each an internal conversation. In crucial moments, this voice arises with doubt. The key is not what it says, but how it speaks—whether softly or harshly. This tone affects our mood and state more than the content. We can practice changing this inner dialogue to be loving, as in maitrī meditation. Speaking kindly to ourselves allows us to speak kindly to others. Laughter declines from childhood to adulthood, indicating a loss of inner joy. Cultivating a gentle inner voice can reverse this trend. When facing decisions, practice prāṇāyāma to calm the nervous system and cultivate a "big trust" that life happens for you, regardless of the outcome. Mantra repetition is about the bhāva, the inner feeling, not the volume.
"It doesn’t even matter what it’s saying. It’s just about, is it talking soft or is it talking hard?"
"Life happens not to you, life happens for you."

Beauty is in our heart
9:20 - 10:08 (48 min)
True yoga requires right conduct, not just physical exercise. Without abstaining from meat and alcohol, it is merely exercise, not the yogic path. The world often misunderstands this. The purpose is to return to God, a knowledge preserved in India. Foreign influences promoting contrary habits have caused problems. A return to peace and understanding is coming. Many worldwide now question harming animals. This is yoga in daily life. Many teachers work globally, but practice is undermined if students return home to eat meat. All beings are connected. The practice must be consistent, regardless of one's background.
"If someone consumes meat and alcohol, they are not a yogī, and it is not yoga. It becomes merely an exercise."
"We should not kill animals. This is yoga in daily life."

Jadan Ashram sets an example
11:15 - 12:02 (47 min)
We are transforming desert into oasis, a spiritual and environmental journey.
God prepared a beautiful home, but human attachment led to greed, fear, and anger, transforming that paradise. We now live in Kali Yuga, where forests, rivers, and air are degraded. Deserts appear as jungles are burned for agriculture. Modern development brought tubewells, pumping the earth's blood and lowering the water table. We must change direction. Our master chose this barren land to build an ashram, a school. We cleared poisonous bush and planted over 100,000 native trees. We divided the land into fields with small dams to hold moisture and protect soil. We built a system to catch rainwater, channeling it through fields into a sealed lake for our use, with surplus filling another lake to recharge groundwater. The water table rose from 100 meters deep to one meter below the surface. The ashram is becoming a jungle, attracting 60 bird species and many animals. This shows we can restore harmony with nature. We are nature. Our inner transformation mirrors the land's: we root out anger and greed, planting seeds of love. The ashram builds us as we build it.
"We are pumping the blood of Mother Earth."
"We are building an ashram, and the ashram is building us."

The form of God is the vibration
12:10 - 13:10 (60 min)
Oṃ is the divine sound, the origin and essence of all creation.
Oṃ is the primordial vibration, the sound-form of the absolute. Its written symbol contains a Bindu, representing both the point from which the universe emerged and the drop of immortal nectar. Yogis meditate upon it eternally. It grants desires and liberation. This is not a sound we create but an existing reality we resonate with through chanting. The practice of Nāda Yoga uses outer sound to journey toward the inner experience of Oṃ. At the highest stage, this sound is perceived directly, transforming into light and expanding consciousness. All true mantras contain Oṃ. It is described as the Word present at creation, the formless source that manifests as the three qualities composing the world. Spiritual practice without connection to Oṃ is considered fruitless. Chanting purifies, illuminates, and awakens divine bliss.
"Oṃ is the divine name. Oṃ is God."
"Oṃkār bina, sādhanā sapahote bikārī re."

Time according to Vedas and Puranas I part
13:15 - 14:10 (55 min)
Time is a cyclical concept without beginning or end, where everything repeats across countless independent universes. Each universe operates under its own laws and has its own trinity of creator, preserver, and destroyer. The structure of time is mathematically precise, defined by repeating ages called yugas. Four yugas—Satya, Tretā, Dvāpara, and Kali—form a Mahāyuga of 4,320,000 years. One thousand Mahāyugas constitute a single day of Brahmā, known as a Kalpa. This cycle of creation and dissolution repeats across vast scales, from the lifespan of a Brahmā to the final Mahā Pralaya where all existence withdraws into unity. Realizing this immense scale puts personal concerns into perspective.
"The concept of time in the Vedas and ancient scriptures is cyclical. Everything moves in a circle, a cycle that neither begins nor ends."
"Four Yugas make one Mahāyuga. One thousand Mahāyugas form one Kalpa. A Kalpa is one day of Brahmā."

Mantra and Mala
14:15 - 14:53 (38 min)
Life is the Ātmā within all beings, seen through the Self. Humans consume life, yet must understand this act distances them from the supreme. Feeling pain teaches non-violence. To approach God requires immense time and grace; unintentional harm may be forgiven, but intentional killing bars the path. Saints do not boast; true greatness lies in selfless service.
The mala is a constant step toward God, paired with a mantra given by the guru or family. Regular prayer, like the Muslim practice, instills discipline. The greeting of praṇām is a mutual prayer for goodness. There are two mala practices: one uses a 108-bead mala with a Guru Mukhī bead, turned with the thumb and middle finger without crossing that bead. The other is Sumaran, a constant walking remembrance like the breath, without a guru point. The story of Hanuman illustrates that one's chosen divine name, like Rām, becomes an inseparable companion through constant repetition, leading ultimately to merging with divine light.
"One mala means for us one step toward God."
"Your Rām is your mother, your father, your brother, your good friend."

The Pearl of Everlasting Bliss
15:00 - 15:21 (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."

How to use the mantra
16:15 - 16:53 (38 min)
Chanting mantras brings peace and purifies the environment through resonance. Life's disturbances agitate the mind, but mantra restores concentration and releases stress. The Guru Mantra profoundly affects body, mind, intellect, and consciousness. Five techniques exist for its practice.
First is writing the mantra daily; positive mantras are not secret and help others. Second is chanting aloud, which influences the three primary energy channels and awakens resonance within the chakras. Each alphabet in the chakras represents a protective power. Third is whispering with slight lip movement, a stage of turning inward while remaining aware. Fourth is mental repetition, which awakens the inner light of knowledge. Fifth is automatic repetition, where the mantra continues effortlessly like breath, requiring no physical or mental effort. This highest level operates constantly. Mantra chanting creates a powerful energy that awakens inner knowledge.
"The Mother Earth has enough for our need, but not for our greed."
"Ajāpa means you need not repeat. Neither your lips nor your tongue moves."

The Guru can change our destiny
17:40 - 18:02 (22 min)
The guru's grace can alter destiny.
Everything depends on our karmas. What is written in your destiny will happen. A story illustrates the guru's power to change this. A king's guru met the Vedāntā, the destiny writer, going to inscribe the fate of the king's newborn twins. She declared one son would live in poverty selling wood from a horse, and the other would hunt, barely catching one animal daily. The guru warned her she would regret this. The guru then left. The king was later killed in an attack, and the twins were raised in poverty by a potter, fulfilling the destined misery. Years later, the guru returned. He instructed the wood-selling brother to sell his horse each day, forcing the Vedāntā to provide a new one each time to fulfill the destiny. He told the hunter to only hunt a golden deer, ignoring all other animals. The Vedāntā was thus forced to provide a golden deer daily to meet the decree of one kill. The brothers grew wealthy. The Vedāntā, overwhelmed, begged the guru for forgiveness and agreed to rewrite their destiny to become kings again, which then occurred.
"Just be careful that you do not regret your decision later."
"Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalam."

Pollution
18:10 - 19:11 (61 min)
The five sheaths, from the physical to the bliss body, define our being and are shaped by our nourishment. The physical sheath, annamaya kośa, is formed from food. The energy sheath, prāṇamaya kośa, arises from that nourishment. The mental, wisdom, and bliss sheaths follow sequentially. What you consume determines your energy, mind, knowledge, and ultimate state. Modern habits have corrupted this natural order, replacing pure, sāttvic nourishment with harmful substances and actions, leading to disease and mental disturbance. A pure diet creates pure energy and a serene mind, guiding one toward true happiness. The path is obstructed by base desires and endless argument, which must be surrendered through attentive listening to divine guidance.
"Jaisā khāī annā, vaisā rahe man. What kind of nourishment or food you eat, like that will be your mind."
"Your nourishment, your energy, then your mentality, the mind."

The Glory of Gurudeva's Name
20:20 - 20:39 (19 min)
The true means to supreme bliss is satsang, yet worldly pursuits are filled with sorrow. Only the divine incarnation of the Supreme Guru bestows true happiness and Self-knowledge. Without the Guru, there is no knowledge, and without knowledge, sorrow has no end. No being has ever attained the Soul-Supreme without a Guru. Great ascetics with supernatural powers, like Sanghdev who lived 1,400 years, still lacked soul-knowledge until liberated by enlightened saints. Similarly, the egoistic tantric Bhaskarananda was transformed upon hearing the Guru's words, realizing his inner faults. The Guru's name, chanted with faith, crosses the ocean of worldly existence. A human life without devotion is like an animal's; one must perform spiritual practice and service. The root of meditation is the Guru's form; the root of worship is the Guru's feet.
"Śiva, Viṣṇu, Brahmā... guru vinā bhav nidhi tīre na koi." (Even Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma cannot cross the ocean of existence without the Guru.)
"Kabuk deva bhayog karni kar... toy nidayo satguru apke mo jagayo." (Sometimes one becomes a god, sometimes an insect... only the True Guru awakens you.)

The Marwari Horse and the Land of Mahāpradeś
21:25 - 21:29 (4 min)
The Marwari horse embodies a unique creation rooted in its land. Its eyes are a paramount feature, open and receptive. True creation must surpass the merely obvious to be sufficient. A unique moderated species arises, distinct from others. This creative force is firmly rooted yet troubled, seeking comfort. The people have cultivated a land where such creation can settle undisturbed. The horse's qualities are represented by dual symbols like salt and love. These elements are part of a purifying ritual. The essence is preserved through specific, grounded practices.
"Marwari breed is one of the finest breeds produced in Rajasthan. One of its best features is the eyes."

Bhajans for World Peace (2/3)
21:30 - 22:36 (66 min)
Seek refuge in the Guru to cross the ocean of worldly existence and attain liberation. You are trapped in the cycle of birth and death, where all possessions and relationships are ultimately left behind. The Guru is the means to cross this ocean, destroying inner enemies like desire and anger. By taking shelter and consciously repeating the divine name, one can be freed from ignorance. The goal is a transcendent state beyond birth, death, and karma, described as indescribable light and eternity. This state is sought through complete surrender, offering all aspects of life—success, defeat, work, and love—into divine hands. The aim is to live in the world yet remain pure, with the single task of reaching the divine.
"O Gurudev, you are the means of crossing the ocean of worldliness."

Devotion to the Guru is the sole refuge from worldly suffering. No earthly relation can offer salvation from the ocean of illusion. The mind is blind and the heart's austerity falters without grace. Surrender completely, seeking not worldly boons but unwavering devotion itself. Only the Guru's mercy can guide the soul to the shore and reveal the supreme happiness found at the holy feet. All else is transient; the Guru's name is the true path.
"The loyalty and devotion to you, Guru Deva. When this exists, all worries go away."
