A spiritual teacher explains the traditional practice of Anuṣṭhāna, a vowed observance for specific purposes like family harmony, health, or agricultural success.

A medical doctor shares his experience integrating the Yoga in Daily Life system into his clinical practice. "After each surgery I perform... a quiet question always arises within me: 'What more could I have done for these patients beforehand?'"

An orthopedic surgeon and yoga teacher addresses a spiritual gathering, explaining how he applies yogic principles on three levels: as preventive healthcare, as a supportive adjunct to surgery, and as a primary treatment for psychosomatic conditions.

12:15 - 12:38 (23 min)
Recorded on
A keynote address proposing yoga as a solution to global leadership crises and mind pollution. "The most dangerous threat to humanity today is not violence or terrorism, as the media suggests. The greatest damage comes from what I call mind pollution." "Yoga is a systematic, conscious science of human development. Its main technique is gaining mastery over the mind, stopping the internal dialogue." The speaker diagnoses widespread leadership failures—citing a lack of self-awareness and emotional intelligence—and argues that media sensationalism creates disproportionate fear. Presenting comparative mortality statistics, he contends that "mind pollution" is a greater threat than terrorism. He defines yoga as a holistic science for mastering the mind and accelerating human evolution, concluding with a call to integrate comprehensive yoga systems into global education and leadership training to foster peace.

The Inner Conflict of Śiva
14:15 - 15:10 (55 min)
Recorded on
A narrative discourse exploring the inner conflict of Lord Śiva following Satī's test of Lord Rāma. "Sometimes, to speak the truth is not easy. You hesitate to tell something; you do not want to lose face." "Therefore, God, please, you can take everything away, or may I lose everything, but not one thing: my belief, my devotion to you." The speaker recounts the mythological story where Satī, after testing Rāma by disguising herself as Sītā, lies to Śiva about her actions. Śiva, the knower of all, discovers the truth through his divine sight and is plunged into a profound inner conflict. He wrestles with a dilemma: to love Satī in her transformed state feels like a sin that would compromise his pure devotion (bhakti) to Rāma, yet he cannot reject his pure and faithful consort. The discourse uses this story to examine themes of truth, doubt, devotion, and the painful inner arguments that arise when faith is tested, concluding that only divine mercy can resolve such struggles.

A teacher shares a flowing, metaphorical talk on the nature of the heart as an inexhaustible well. Using analogies of water and wells, they explain how selfless giving expands the heart with peace and love, while withholding leads to stagnation. The discourse weaves in references to Sanātana Dharma, the spirit of Śivarātri, and the example of a mother's sacrifice, concluding with blessings and chants. Filming location: Vienna, Austria

"If one chants the Guru's name with faith, one will surely reach the shore." A speaker addresses the assembly, asserting that true happiness and Self-knowledge come only through grace of a Satguru. He illustrates this with stories of the powerful ascetic Sanghdev, who was liberated by Sant Gyaneshwar, and the egoistic tantric Bhaskarananda, who was humbled by Bhagavan Shri Dip Narayana Mahaprabhuji. The talk emphasizes that rituals and powers are insufficient without the Guru, who alone can dispel ignorance and bestow the bliss of liberation. Filming location: Bari Khatu, Rajasthan, India
