Presence of a Yogi means blessing
0:40 - 1:51 (71 min)
The pilgrim's journey is a metaphor for the path to self-realization.
Ancient pilgrims undertook arduous journeys to holy places like Kedārnāth. They traveled on foot through wild forests, guided by faith and the kindness of sādhus who shared simple, sustaining food. Their entire consciousness was fixed on the divine destination. The difficult path purified them, and they carried the temple's energy and prasād back to their villages, welcomed as if God had returned. This historical struggle contrasts with modern, comfortable travel. The true journey is internal. We are all pilgrims on earth, moving toward the divine. Maintain a positive mind and unwavering confidence, feeling God's presence especially during trials. The path itself is the goal.
"when the time is comfortable... you are with me. And when it was a very hard path... you left me alone." The voice replied, "when it was very hard, you did not walk. I walked for you, and I carry you on the hollow of my palm."
"one hour, half hour, and quarter hour. So even one minute, half a minute... satsaṅg... purifies thousands of our mistakes."

Follow the Path
1:55 - 3:10 (75 min)
The spiritual path, the guide, and the final goal are one. Yoga is the journey of an entire lifetime and beyond, for many may not reach Cosmic Consciousness in this one. We begin on the path early and must remain steadfast upon it. If one stays on this clear path, it is absolutely certain the goal will be reached, even across future lives. The path itself is the master, the Guru Paramparā, which faithfully guides the disciple through all incarnations. In contrast, a worldly life is like constantly changing destinations with a temporary navigator, leading only to distraction and lostness. Without the guide, one is like a blind person in a hall, missing the door even when near it due to unconscious diversion. We may practice many techniques, but the true guide is the Master with open eyes, the lineage that knows the destination. Our origin is eternal, like a tree whose fruit retains its essential quality across ages and places. The inner soul seeks its nest, its source. One must work with this blessing, for the Supreme and the Gurus observe all. The body and its accomplishments will perish, but the soul seeks liberation. It is better to live a human life with love and non-harm. Our accumulated karma shapes our experience. At death, the freed soul speeds away, not wishing to return. The Guru prepares the disciple like a bird incubating an egg. The practice of mantra and sincere sādhanā is the means to proceed.
"If we are on our path, then it is 100,000% certain you will reach the goal."
"Practicing āsanas and prāṇāyāmas and reading some books is not yoga only... But where the path will lead us—that is our paramparā, guru paramparā."

The Imperative of Daily Practice
3:15 - 3:54 (39 min)
A call to serious, daily yoga practice is essential for health and purification.
Many appear as practitioners but do not practice consistently at home, leading to physical problems. The body naturally produces vikāras (illnesses) and is dominated by the tamas and rajas guṇas. A sāttvic body, free from vikāra, must be cultivated through disciplined effort. When the body is impure, the mind and intellect become clouded with negative thoughts and dullness. This obscures one's reality. Therefore, consistent practice of āsana, prāṇāyāma, and cleansing techniques is the only means of thorough purification. Daily discipline, along with seasonal Śaṅkha Prakṣālana and weekly Kuñjalakriyā, prevents health issues. Diet must also become sāttvic, avoiding meat and eggs, while learning how and when to eat properly. The foundation is purifying āhāra (diet), vihāra (recreation), ācāra (behavior), and vicāra (thought).
"Practicing means at home, not just here. Here, you are only learning."
"When the body is not healthy, when it is full of vikāras, then the thoughts are also full of vikāras."

Satsang has a divine vibration because of singing bhajans
6:15 - 7:24 (69 min)
Devotion opens the heart to divine presence. The pure being has five sheaths, from the physical to the bliss body. The saint's heart is a blooming lotus of divine vibration, while a negative heart withers. Sanātana Dharma is the eternal duty to protect and love all creation equally. Dharma means to protect. Negative thoughts and speech are ignorance; their karmic consequence returns to the speaker. Trust given must not be abandoned. The divine resides within the devoted heart, beyond all doubt and criticism.
"Dharma means your duty... dharma means protect, protect, protect."
"If you cannot speak something good, at least don’t talk negatively."

Guru is only one
7:30 - 8:20 (50 min)
The Guru, mantra, and spiritual practice are essential in Kali Yuga. This age is marked by anger and disease globally. Those following a sattvic diet and yoga practice remained healthy, as research shows. The science of yoga provides protection. Mantra practice is paramount, and the mantra given by one's Guru is fundamental. The Guru's word is the true essence, not the physical form. One must not seek a second initiating guru, though one may listen to all saints. All life originates from the same source, like drops from one ocean. Spiritual progress requires meditation, mantra, and adherence to the Guru's word.
"Only one guru you have, your guru."
"Do not think of the body of the guru... that mantra which is given by the guru is like a seed planted in your body."

Purify Yourselves
8:25 - 9:31 (66 min)
Creation arises from divine resonance, and purity is the call of this age. Life is constant movement and change. All beings emerge from the one heart that is Śiva. The universe is filled with resonant sound, Nāda, from which all creation flows. The sun’s essence is pure, immortal energy, not mere heat; its reflected purity brings transformation. The body contains all five elements, sustained by nourishment. True sustenance requires purity in diet and action. A vegetarian diet maintains purity and strength, while impure foods invite affliction. The current global distress is a call to return to purity and dharma. Faith and practice are the path. Call upon the divine name with devotion to be lifted from any pitfall. Practice diligently at home, with faith in the Guru’s presence. Do not seek new scriptures or teachers; the true path and grace are within the established tradition. Give generously to those in need, for generosity multiplies spiritual merit. Hold fast to faith, not fear.
"Through the Nāda only, creation whole. Otherwise, nothing."
"Till today, no one has got the infection... those who are really pure vegetarian."

Don't be Afraid
9:35 - 10:44 (69 min)
The true guru is one who knows past, present, and future. All beings possess the same divine Ātmā. The self is God. Life consumes life, yet the human heart is intended to avoid harming creatures. In Ayurveda, plants are classified, and using roots can destroy the plant. Shiva and Shakti are inseparable unity. When Shakti entered the fire, Shiva carried her body. Vishnu performed an austerity, pledging a thousand lotuses to Shiva. One flower was missing, so Vishnu offered his eye, named Kamal Nayan. Shiva then granted Vishnu the Sudarśana discus. Vishnu used it to cut Shakti's body into fifty-two pieces, which fell as sacred sites. The Guru's power is immense; a mere spark from the Guru ignites widespread light.
"All jīvātmās in each and everyone are only one."
"Shakti will not separate, and when separated, it will cut it in pieces."

Yoga is much more than physical
10:50 - 11:28 (38 min)
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Yoga seminar, Dungog, Australia. Asanas and pranayamas keep our body healthy. According to the ancient scriptures, there is nothing else only Yoga. Many rishies got the realization in such a forest like this or in the Himalayas. Masters said: we should have a well-grounded connection to others. Bhajans are the worlds of the great Masters. Saints.
Do not eat meat
11:35 - 12:37 (62 min)
The essence of devotion and righteous living is found in the Guru's grace and adherence to dharma. The Guru is the root of meditation, worship, mantra, and liberation. All glory belongs to the divine teachers and manifestations. True practice requires singing together in devotion. The core teaching is that real yoga necessitates a pure lifestyle. One must first abandon alcohol, tobacco, eggs, and meat. These are not given for human consumption. Many suffer disease from such diets. A global shift is occurring where some are adopting vegetarianism while others are straying. To learn real yoga, one must live according to these principles and protect all life, including animals and nature. This practice is the rightful wealth of this land.
"Dhyāna mūlaṁ gurur mūrtiḥ, pūjā mūlaṁ guru pādam, mantra mūlaṁ guru vākyam, mokṣa mūlaṁ guru kṛpām."
"Why should I be hungry when I am at your doorstep?"

Return back to happiness
13:40 - 14:32 (52 min)
Sādhana, or spiritual practice, rests on two pillars: the changeable physical practice and the permanent spiritual practice. Our physical practice must adapt to our changing age and condition. While yoga āsanas like śīrṣāsana benefit everyone by improving circulation and health, the ultimate goal is not mere longevity but a contented life. Modern life generates stress and endless desire, which destroys contentment. Accumulating possessions only multiplies sorrows. True happiness, or sukha, is found not in external things but in inner śāntoṣa, or contentment. This contentment is cultivated through steady spiritual practice, primarily mantra. Your mantra is the unwavering pillar that purifies consciousness and leads to perfection, regardless of your beliefs. Do not abandon this practice, for it protects you and brings peace. The physical practice supports the body, but the spiritual practice of mantra and devotion is the essential, unchanging path.
"Śāntoṣī nārśada sukhi, who is always content, is always happy."
"As many things we have, that many sorrows we have."

We are here to learn
14:35 - 14:59 (24 min)
The root of peace is found in remembering our divine nature, which we have forgotten. We identify with our senses and ego, creating dissatisfaction, conflict, and a world of broken families and war. All religions originally taught the same goodness, but their practice has fragmented. Religious leaders can contribute to peace only by realizing and practicing their teachings, understanding we are not bodies but immortal beings of God. Enlightened religious and political leaders would create a world without war, poverty, or extremism, which is merely a response to dissatisfaction. The answer lies in spiritual self-development, transcending the ego to realize we are divine.
"All this is because we have forgotten who we are, because we began to identify with our senses, our emotions, our thoughts."
"Extremists are included in this. As soon as you have enlightened religious leaders and politicians who follow them, there is no extremism."

Satsaṅg and disciplined living are foundations for spiritual and physical well-being. An eight-month Anuṣṭhāna was completed, a period of residence with daily satsaṅg and spiritual practice. This occurred at a Sattva āśram, a pure place established for decades where many have come to practice. The holiness originates from ancient spiritual lineage. Satsaṅg is the gathering of truth with spiritual companions, fostering happiness. Historical guidance from masters emphasizes simple, disciplined living. This includes dietary discipline: eat only when truly hungry, avoid tea and coffee, and consume pure foods. Modern habits of constant eating and improper foods lead to illness. True health comes from eating moderately, drinking water, and leaving space in the stomach. Practice silence, maintain personal space in communal living, and focus on spiritual practice. The recent global situation, while difficult, allowed for sustained spiritual focus and family connection at home. Ultimately, cultivate a life free from anger and negativity through disciplined practice and satsaṅg.
"Without bhakti, without satsaṅg, one feels a little bit alone."
"Eat half, drink one quarter water, and leave the other quarter empty. Then our health will be the best."

The Awakening of Consciousness: Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras
17:15 - 19:09 (114 min)
The science of yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness. Yoga is the eternal balancing principle in the universe, not a religion or dogma. The cosmic vibration, declared as OM, exists within and outside us. Human life is a precious chance within the cycle of rebirth. The human intellect can be trained endlessly, and dormant abilities within are connected to the cakras, or energy centers. The subtle body has 72,000 nāḍīs, or channels, for transmitting consciousness and energy. The mind functions between the subconscious and conscious, taking in impressions that become desires. The intellect's duty is to give judgment. We normally experience three levels of consciousness: waking, dream, and deep sleep. Past deeds create our destiny, or prārabdha karma. The Kuṇḍalinī energy and the cakra system are responsible for developing consciousness and freeing it from subconscious fears. The major nāḍīs are Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā, balancing emotion and intellect. Haṭha Yoga unites these sympathetic and parasympathetic principles. The awakening of Kuṇḍalinī is a divine process of becoming wise and calm, not a physical sensation. The cakras are located along the spinal column and are psychic energy centers. They are connected to the five elements and influence the body. Mastery leads towards liberation, the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness. This requires lifelong practice and guidance.
"Yoga is not a religion, it is not a philosophy, it is not a dogma, but it is the eternal principle in this universe."
"The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī is a divine process; you don't feel it as a physical sensation. You feel happy, as if in the lap of the mother."
