Bari Khathu Pranam improves the immunity
0:25 - 1:23 (58 min)
Coronavirus concerns everyone globally. It can be present without symptoms. Stay home if you have fever, headache, sore throat, or chills until symptom-free for 48 hours. The virus primarily attacks lung tissue, hindering oxygen exchange. Transmission occurs through moist respiratory particles expelled when speaking, coughing, or sneezing, traveling one to one and a half meters normally. Masks are crucial to contain these particles. Hand sanitizer, soap, and surface disinfection destroy the virus's outer layer. Most infected individuals do not require intensive care; the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions are most vulnerable. Strengthening overall health through proper sleep and yoga supports the immune system. Persist with protective measures like masks, distance, and hygiene.
"The problem is we become tired of wearing the mask, but it is very cheap insurance for our life, our families, and all of humanity."
"Exercises strengthen the immune system, which yoga does very well."

Go to the Satsang
1:30 - 2:21 (51 min)
Satsaṅg is the company of truth and spiritual association, while kusaṅg is negative company. A disciple wished to attend a festival, but his Gurujī gave him a peacock feather to view the crowd. Through it, he saw the gathering as a mass of fighting animals, except for a small group who remained human in appearance. He realized the crowd's internal qualities were base, though their external forms were human. He immediately returned to the pure company of his teacher. The body may appear human, but the inner quality defines one's nature. Therefore, seek satsaṅg. Do not outwardly declare others as not good, but regard all with good heart and thought. Positive energy may then flow, potentially leading them to good company in time.
"Through the feather, he saw only animals in the crowd, but when he looked without it, they appeared as humans."
"Therefore, satsaṅg. Satsaṅg is good things."

What means sanyas diksha
2:25 - 3:54 (89 min)
The path to sannyāsa is a profound spiritual commitment requiring total surrender and purification. It is a rare attainment, the culmination of many lifetimes of seeking. One must give up all attachments—to family, home, and worldly identity—as this separation is difficult, like a nation leaving a union. The orange cloth is not mere fabric; it symbolizes the skin and blood of one's dedication to reach the highest realms. True realization comes from the heart, where the divine resides, as shown by Hanuman. Seva, selfless service, is essential. The initiation involves rigorous rituals: cleansing the body with sacred substances like cow dung and ash, culminating in the guru cutting the śikhā, severing attachment to the physical world. It is not an easy path, but one of continuous inner cleaning to realize the Self.
"Where is your Rāma and Sītā? He said, 'It is in my heart.'"

Kriya for opening to knowledge
5:05 - 5:53 (48 min)
The practice of mantra and mudrā purifies the chakras and cultivates divine speech. Chant the Mahāmṛtyuñjaya mantra to awaken energy and concentration. A specific hand mudrā channels a flow like a sacred river, bringing calmness. The mantra seeks nectar for the tongue, meaning speech should be humble, kind, and sweet. This connects to social education. The throat chakra holds the seed of Sarasvatī, producing divine sound. Speech manifests through three levels: parā, paśyantī, and vaikharī. These correspond to centers of feeling, manifestation, and formulation. Mastering them leads to excellent speech. A subsequent mudrā involves touching specific centers to create a powerful circulation of energy. This practice removes anxiety, brings calm, and opens knowledge.
"May my every word be like sweet honey."
"Whoever has good, excellent speech is said to have Sarasvatī on their throat."

Śaṅkha Prakṣālana and Kunjal Kriyā: Purification of the Intestine and Stomach
6:00 - 6:40 (40 min)
This lecture details the Śaṅkha Prakṣālana and Kunjal Kriyā purification techniques. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is the cleansing of the entire intestine using warm, lightly salted water, performed early in the morning on an empty stomach. It involves drinking water and performing specific movements and postures to guide the water through the system. This practice is beneficial for conditions like high blood pressure and digestive issues but is not advised for those under 15, individuals with active ulcers or hernias, or pregnant women. Preparation includes a light diet the prior evening. The process continues until the expelled water runs clear. A strict diet must follow for at least one week, avoiding alcohol, meat, fish, eggs, and raw foods. Kunjal Kriyā is the cleansing of the stomach, performed after Śaṅkha Prakṣālana by drinking unsalted water to the point of fullness and then voluntarily expelling it. This practice helps purify the stomach and can aid those with bronchial asthma. The session concludes with rest and a meal of specially prepared kicharī.
"The best time to do Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is in March, the beginning of September, the end of May, and before the winter."
"After Śaṅkha Prakṣālana, you have to keep a diet for at least, strictly, seven days, one week, and up to one month."

Be patient and faithful
6:45 - 7:43 (58 min)
True learning requires patience, reverence for the source, and inner focus. The current global pause invites turning inward to ask fundamental questions of identity and purpose. Withdrawing the senses is the primary meditation; using a mala with mantra is a valid secondary method that fosters oneness. Singing bhajans is learning, but one must always credit the original composer, as failing to do so is theft and creates nonsense. Do not believe all knowledge is already taken; like butter from a cow, true insight is perpetually renewed if you tend to the source. Education, like yoga, cannot be rushed. A child learns through gradual stages and requires play to refresh the mind. A student must fully absorb one lesson before teaching another. A pilot trains for years, trusting instruments to land safely; similarly, a disciple must practice diligently under guidance, not seeking quick results. Learning is embedding knowledge within, not merely reading.
"If you eat the butter, what will happen? The cow is with me. Feed the cow with good, and you will again take the milk, and you have the butter again."
"Do not think that I cannot do more. We are here within, and that is the makhan of our knowledge, and that will be fresh."

Clean yourself to become a saint
7:50 - 8:45 (55 min)
True spiritual life is found in selfless service and genuine renunciation, not in titles or appearances. Many claim to be yogis or sannyasis but avoid humble work, seeking only respect and comfort. Real seva means cleaning and serving all without distinction, not just performing rituals. Renunciation is not about wearing orange robes but about inwardly letting go of all possessions and desires. A true seeker serves quietly, like cleaning toilets, without expectation. Theoretical knowledge is useless without this practical humility. Freedom is internal, beyond politics and borders, found in simplicity and unity.
"Guru Sevā means not that you already, 'I am sitting there in my room,'... guru seva means you make a seva of all my disciples."

Use it, or you will lose it
8:50 - 9:36 (46 min)
The horizon of being is the ultimate spiritual goal of becoming one with infinite space. Humans possess intellect but require a teacher to guide them beyond worldly knowledge. All beings follow divine instinct, yet humans become distracted by transient forms like changing hair color or accumulating wealth. Life cycles like a tree's leaves, emerging and falling, with essence continually reborn in new forms. The horizon appears as a mirage, always receding as one approaches, symbolizing the elusive nature of enlightenment. True realization is merging into boundless space where all dualities cease. Spiritual practice is essential; inner wisdom must be used or it is lost. The guru is the essential guide to this liberation.

The sun of life and the honey of purity illuminate the path. All spiritual practice is devotion to the divine, beyond divisions of country or religion. The human form is equal, and love must extend to all creatures. Substances like alcohol can be medicine or poison depending on use and knowledge, just as sectarian views of God create division where unity exists. The sun is always present, just as the inner sun of life exists in all beings, seeking joy. Following guidance prevents suffering. Human desire, unlike animals, is endless; action should protect all life. Negative thinking creates suffering, while purity, like pure honey that does not cling, is essential. The heart and body will pass, but one should remain in joy and purity, allowing impurities to fall away.
"Arguing over whose God is best creates big problems. If it is like that, then we are not for that highest, supreme reality, where all gods are one."
"Pure honey, when it drips, does not stick. If it is not real honey but just from sugar, it will stick. This is the difference."

The real disciple
11:20 - 11:59 (39 min)
The essence of Sanātana Dharma is Śaṅkarācārya, who restored truth from a young age. He sought to become a sannyāsī despite his mother's initial refusal, later fulfilling his promise to perform her funeral rites against convention. He established four monasteries across India, providing different spiritual paths for different natures. Becoming a true disciple requires immense dedication, as illustrated by the tale of Upamanyu. The young boy endured severe tests from his guru, including starvation, blindness, and falling into a well, yet maintained his devotion. His unwavering faith ultimately invoked divine vision and strength. Modern disciples often lack such steadfastness, distracted by the temptations of the current age.
"Mother, I will be there for you, but I must also go forth to restore reality and truth."

Dharma and adharma
13:35 - 14:10 (35 min)
Dharma in Kali Yuga requires integrating non-violence and reverence into all actions. Performing rituals while harming creatures is contradictory. Hiṃsā is killing or eating animals, and also causing pain through harsh words, even within families. All life feels pain. Cruel speech is adharma. Dharma extends to protecting natural resources. Water is life itself; do not waste it. The Tulsī plant embodies divine presence and healing power, revered as sacred. All plant life possesses this sanctity. True dharma cannot coexist with harming other beings for food, except in absolute necessity for survival. Negative thoughts and gossip are a form of violence. Spiritual practice must unify worship with compassionate living.
"Hiṃsā means killing other creatures. And not only killing, but eating them."
"Water is our life. Where there is water, there is God."

Everything is yoga
14:15 - 14:45 (30 min)
The individual soul is the same in all beings, from human to ant. The ocean and a drop from it are not separate; the drop is the ocean. All beings pass through one door, not separate doors for different religions or species. Heaven and hell are dualities within coming and going, but Sanatana Dharma is the eternal principle, with Śiva as its source, having no familial relations. God is within each soul. Humans have created many religious forms, but there is only one God. The living guru is a principle beyond the deities Śiva, Brahmā, and Viṣṇu. Yoga originates from Śiva, encompassing postures and the unity of all action. The roots of this knowledge lie with the eternal Saptaṛṣis. Ultimately, space, consciousness, and all elements arise from and are controlled within Śiva.
"Anywhere, that drop is the ocean."

Yoga and nature is one
14:50 - 15:17 (27 min)
Yoga is the science of humans and a natural way of life. Its first principle is vegetation, which is Āyurveda, an ancient medicine from the Yugas. Modern medicine, while life-saving, is chemical and not fully accepted by the natural body, unlike remedies from plants. Our way of eating has been lost, and white sugar is a major cause of disease. The tongue enslaves us to taste, leading to illness. Āyurveda encompasses diet and was once so advanced it included surgeries like those on the brain. Yoga is not acrobatics; it is a scientific system for a long, healthy life. Many practice it incorrectly, which can cause harm. True yoga involves physical exercise, breathing, concentration, and meditation. We are all God, and our actions determine our fate. The practice should be shared freely for community health.

We should unite with the Supreme
15:25 - 15:44 (19 min)
We are all like a drop of water seeking to merge with the ocean. Life is a process of growth in time, from childhood onward, yet our individual journeys are temporary. We desire to achieve the goal of oneness with the cosmic reality, to end the cycle of return. This longing is like a single drop wishing to join the vast ocean; upon merging, the separate self is gone. Our familial and social attachments are not permanent, as each soul must ultimately walk its own path toward that dissolution into the One, the ātmā.
"One drop is just in the palm of our heart, and the ocean is so big. And now, this drop wants to say, 'I want to go to my water, my ocean.'"

Sanyas Diksha of Swami Chandrapuriji
16:10 - 16:20 (10 min)
The journey begins with the Guru, invoking divine presence through mantra and sacred narrative.
Listen. You are making a resolve for the spiritual journey. Invocations are offered to Guru, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Durga, Rama, Surya, and the divine principle of fullness. A creation myth is recounted: initially, there was no Shiva-Shakti, no linga, no yoni. They were fashioned from cuttings; from the first drop of blood came vermilion, from the second came all expansion. A devotional dialogue asks: Who cut the hair? Who gave the teaching? The Alakh Purush cut the hair; the Satguru gave the teaching. Thus, the short-haired renunciant shines with the light of Shiva-Shakti. The assembly concludes with salutations to the Guru, the eternal Dharma, and all divine forms.
"Śiva-śakti nahī̃ thā, liṅga nahī̃ thā, bhaga nahī̃ thā. Nakha cīr ke liṅga banāyā, kamar cīr ke bhaga banāyā."

Our subject is Kuṇḍalinī and cakras, the science of body, mind, and soul. First, arrange your space and bring your hands together at the heart, feeling the energy flow. This energy is your own divinity. Kuṇḍalinī awakening is not a physical movement but an awakening in clarity and joy. We exist through layered bodies: the physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and the body of bliss. Major energy centers, or cakras, exist in humans and animals, connecting us to elements like earth. Regular contact with the earth purifies these energies. Self-realization means understanding the self. The soul is one, like a single powerhouse lighting many bulbs. Do not claim a permanent, egoistic self-realization; true oneness is rare and often temporary. Non-duality is the final knowledge that removes the ignorance which creates fear and separation. We must meditate on this oneness.
"Kuṇḍalinī means you are awakened in your clarities, in your knowledge, in your happiness, your joy—not that something in your body is moving."
