Be patient and faithful
0:20 - 1:18 (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."

The real disciple
1:25 - 2:04 (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."

Go to the Satsang
2:10 - 3:01 (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."

Prayer and Bhajans
3:05 - 3:56 (51 min)
A meditation on unity and devotion through mantra and awareness.
Dedicate every cell, breath, and heartbeat to the divine lineage. We are all connected within this Guru tradition, though we may not be aware. Every inhaled breath is the life force of the paramparā; every exhalation releases negative energy. We pray for all entities, as we are all one vibration and energy of God. Feel this energy, purification, and the light of the Guru. The universal life force is one essence. Feel yourself as one with all living beings, including vegetation and the ocean. God leads us on the right way as we strive. Practice this awareness wherever you are.
"Each and every breath we inhale is the prāṇa of our paramparās and gurudevs."
"Feel thyself within, one with the whole living beings."

Use it, or you will lose it
5:30 - 6:16 (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.
"Use it or lose it."

Don't ask anything from God
6:20 - 7:10 (50 min)
Purification and faith are essential for spiritual and physical well-being. Many suffer, seeking solutions. True practice requires internal and external cleansing before approaching the divine. Merely asking for favors is incorrect; one must first purify body, thought, and energy. Rituals like bathing and mantra are medicinal powers, but their efficacy depends on sincere preparation. Sleep expels necessary negative energies, leaving one sluggish until purified by morning rites. Belief manifests in one's entire being, not in requests. Impurities within are vast, requiring constant work through practice, not laziness. Lead with thoughts of peace and kindness to become healthy.
"Have you cleaned your body? Have you cleaned your thoughts? Have you cleaned your thinking?"
"Believe, belief is the belief. It’s your problem if you believe confidence, then in your whole energy in the body, the whole organs in our body, our heart, our eyes, our mood, our words, our ears, many things, and then we bow down."

Pilgrimage
8:00 - 8:47 (47 min)
The essence of pilgrimage is an inner journey, distinct from external trekking. Trekking focuses on gear and terrain, while pilgrimage is about devotion and inner feeling. The physical path is secondary to walking with mantra and spiritual intent. Preparation is not physical training but cultivating presence through sādhānā and satsaṅg. The journey begins from one's home with meditation. Travel lightly, releasing material worries and mental planning into a state of trust. Observing devoted pilgrims reveals patience and joy, not schedules or complaints. Satsaṅg is the supreme preparation, transforming the practitioner more than any physical effort. Life itself is a pilgrimage best traveled without unnecessary burdens.

9:40 - 10:25 (45 min)
The human condition is defined by ignorance and a futile pursuit of immortality within the physical form. Humans possess great arrogance and technical skill but remain confined by the body and its elemental nature. Even deities are subject to change, and no being in a physical form can be granted immortality. True immortality exists only beyond the five elements, as the soul or Ātmā. Human life is consumed by fear, desire, and material accumulation, which creates suffering and severs connection from righteousness. Modern society exacerbates greed and hardship, distancing people from dharma and spiritual truth. The soul is eternal but trapped and unhappy within the physical body; liberation comes when it departs and merges with the universal consciousness, like a drop returning to the ocean.
"Immortality is when you are not in the physical body."
"The soul is in our body, and the soul is not happy, but our body doesn’t want to let go."

Dharma and adharma
10:30 - 11:05 (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."

What means sanyas diksha
11:10 - 12:39 (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.

Shiva will bless All
12:45 - 13:08 (23 min)
The Kali Yuga presents a severe trial, demanding unity. A time of great calamity approaches, with disasters, disease, and agricultural ruin. Yet, a path exists for those with correct knowledge to merge with the cosmic Śiva. Śiva's nature is universally compassionate, embracing all people and religions without exclusion, unlike other forces that may discriminate. Śiva's blessing is the paramount solution. The precious human birth is easily squandered without understanding. Time, once lost, never returns. Therefore, one must remember Śiva constantly through repetition of His names, cultivating real devotion to the inner Gurudeva, who appears in many forms beyond external designations. This devotion is the essential grace.
"Śiva said, 'All of you are very good. Let be.'"
"Human life in this world is very, very precious. If you do not understand and you lose it, then you have no knowledge."

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.

Always be positive
14:10 - 14:53 (43 min)
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."

A new ashram opens to teach the universal path of yoga, a science of body, mind, and soul for inner peace and health. This place was prepared over many years by volunteers spreading authentic yoga, not as a business. Yoga is an ancient universal science of balance and harmony originating with Śiva, beyond any single religion. It is a tool for modern life, where one must find willpower and time for practice amidst societal haste. The practice requires careful, daily effort without competition, adaptable for all ages and conditions. Its ultimate aim is to realize one's relation with the Supreme, fostering health, peace, and universal brotherhood. The future depends on educating children in this spiritual knowledge.

The Guru is the singular, indispensable lamp.
Understanding the Guru's nature comes only in his absence. While present, his light is taken for granted. He traveled widely, visiting many saints and places, yet his devotion remained solely with his lineage. He transformed barren land into an ashram. His constant practice was singing bhajans and giving lectures about his masters. The teaching environment must be kept purely for spiritual matters, avoiding negativity. The Guru's strictness was part of his grace. His physical presence embodied a great spiritual personality. The ultimate truth is that everything is the Guru's grace.

A large-scale world peace monument shaped as the universal Oṃ symbol is being built. Since 1993, this structure has served humanity by teaching yoga, meditation, and philosophy to preserve Vedic wisdom. It will contain 108 residential compartments for visitors and students. The design originated from a yogi's vision, who developed the "Yoga in Daily Life" system for holistic health, now practiced globally. The site already functions as an active center with a free school, a college, and a hospital. To heal the local ecosystem, an artificial lake harvests monsoon rain, raising groundwater. Worldwide projects protect animals and plant millions of trees. This non-profit mission, born from one heart's vision, advocates for universal non-violence and protection for all cultures and creatures. Its full fruition requires everyone's contribution.

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

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.
