Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 2 - Part 2
1:00 - 2:11 (71 min)
The practice of Yoga in Daily Life continues systematically from Level Two, beginning with relaxation and progressing through specific āsanas and prāṇāyāma. A session starts with three Oṁ chants and deep relaxation in Ānanda Āsana, consciously releasing tension from toes to forehead. The full yoga breath is practiced, coordinating a three-part wave with movement. The āsana sequence includes Meru Pṛṣṭhāsana for spinal flexibility and energy, Catuṣpada Āsana for stretching and organ function, and Cakrāsana for posture and digestion. Each posture is performed with attention to breath, comfort, and the resulting physical and energetic effects. The practice concludes with prāṇāyāma to balance breath channels and a meditation preparation, ending with chants for peace.
"Āsana means, except for other meanings, also comfortable. So āsana should be a comfortable position."
"After exhalation, try to feel the complete relaxation of all the muscles and the inner peace, and stop all the movements in your body."

Our origin is in God
2:15 - 2:56 (41 min)
The soul enters a body, which is surrounded by five sheaths. The physical Annamaya Kośa is made from earth, water, fire, air, and space. All creatures contain the same life force, or jīva. Life operates in a cycle where one life consumes another; this is driven by an inner fire, like hunger. This cycle is often seen as sin or adharma. The ethical path is to avoid harming others, not to retaliate, and to practice forgiveness. Ultimately, concepts like heaven and hell are merely different realms of existence. The five sheaths—Annamaya, Prāṇamaya, Manomaya, Vijñānamaya, and Ānandamaya—envelop the self. Moving beyond them leads to an unknown path. The goal is to return to the singular, formless divine source from which all beings originate.
"Life will kill life. But who and how? So another part of God said, I will give you. What? Fire. What is that fire? In the stomach, that is hunger."
"If someone is angry or something, and he will give you a slap on your face, then don’t give back, but tell the other side, 'Please, if you want, you can have also from here.'"

We should have God in our heart
3:25 - 4:46 (81 min)
True preparation is not about temporary arrangements but about cultivating a presence that comes from within. We often prepare external things, like a meal, which are consumed and gone. Real knowledge, however, is not read from a paper; it flows from the heart and mind as one's own. Many rely on prepared speeches, lacking true understanding. Different cultures express presence differently, but the core is sincerity. Lasting wisdom is not found in lectures we forget but in stories that live in the heart. True devotion, not mere scholarship, grants real power, as seen in one who walked on water through faith alone. We must integrate our physical, energetic, and mental layers. Life is singular; do not be scattered. True union, like that of Śiva and Śakti, represents ultimate harmony. Enduring traditions, like a respectful greeting with empty hands, express a pure welcome. Ultimately, we are not labels like Hindu or Muslim, but humans capable of love.
"Many politicians have no knowledge. They say, 'I don't see,' but their secretaries... prepare a very nice talk and give it to the minister, who then reads it."
"The story will never forget... But you give the whole lecture... and we cannot read in the book. The book is just to learn it, and then go within ourselves."

The Holy Land
7:35 - 8:27 (52 min)
Prayāgarāj is the king of holy places, where the Kumbh Melā is held. According to myth, it is where the nectar fell and three rivers, including the underground Sarasvatī, meet. The major festival occurs on a sacred constellation. While a melā happens annually, the sādhus recognize a major Pūrṇa Kumbha every four years. Millions attend to bathe, believing sins are washed away, and to discuss spiritual and societal governance. A system was established last century by the monastic akhāṛās. Following the tradition of the Śaṅkarācāryas, they created the title Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara. This honourable role is for caretaking—to solve problems and provide for sannyāsīs and ashrams. However, a committee with a constitution holds the authority. This committee selects one Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara to serve as the presiding Ācārya. All decisions are made by the committee.
"Everyone knows the precise day, which we call Makar Saṅkrānti, when the sun begins moving north."
"Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara is not a dominator but a caretaker who solves problems and provides assistance."

The hatha yogi wants to live a long and healthy life
8:35 - 9:26 (51 min)
The path of the Haṭha Yogī integrates natural remedies and disciplined practice for health. Neem leaf powder can heal stubborn wounds quickly, as a personal account confirms. Babool fruit soaked in water aids with hormonal and glandular issues after a certain age. Neem also serves as an effective, natural pesticide to which pests do not develop resistance. Neem seeds, ground into a paste, strengthen hair roots. A true Haṭha Yogī renounces laziness, the enemy compared to the tamas guṇa of a lethargic python. Key practices include Agni Sāra Kriyā and Nauli to stoke digestive fire, prevent diabetes, and purify the body. A yogī should perform cleansing techniques like śaṅkha prakṣālana regularly. Contrary to some teachings, garlic is beneficial; it cleanses gases and supports the heart, liver, and eyesight, and observed aggression often lies in those who avoid it. The yogī's goal is a long, healthy life with a clean, resilient body, free from disease through fasting and purification.
"During the night, so I can say in the morning, the wound was completely closed."
"The biggest enemy of the human is laziness."

Overview of practicing yoga
9:30 - 10:18 (48 min)
Yoga is the science of life, meant for daily practice. I began spreading this message globally in 1970. The system "Yoga in Daily Life" was developed to provide structure. Yoga is not a business; it is free for all. The author of yoga is Śiva, who gave 84 postures connected to all creatures. Yoga has no competition. True yoga integrates several paths. Karma Yoga is selfless service, the best achievement. What is commonly called Haṭha Yoga is often misunderstood; real Haṭha Yoga consists of six purification techniques: Netī, Dhautī, Bastī, Naulī, Trāṭaka, and Kapālabhāti. These cleanse the body and prevent disease. Rāja Yoga involves eight steps like Yama and Niyama for discipline and supreme consciousness. Jñāna Yoga is the path of knowledge. Beyond these, Kuṇḍalinī and chakras represent hidden human powers. Among 8.4 million creatures, human life is for union with the supreme. Yoga is essential for health, combining natural wellness with necessary medicine. To practice, dedicate one and a half hours daily. Wake early to establish the habit; your body will come to need it. Persist for fifteen days, and it will become part of your life.
"Yoga has no competition. Yoga has no challenge."
"Karmayoga... is one of the best yogas. Help, help, help."

Recharging the spiritual energy
10:25 - 11:12 (47 min)
You are in the aura of Śiva consciousness, a divine vibration that fills you here. Your focused intention to come created this spiritual energy. In this place, you become Śivamaya—the divine essence—and worldly problems vanish as you experience ānanda, your true form. To preserve this, you must practice discernment in association. Avoid those entangled in temporary, worldly pursuits like politics or conflict; this is kusanga, bad company. Such people, with polluted minds, will drain your light. You might consider them friends, but they are not. Always seek the company of the truly spiritual. Self-knowledge, ātmajñāna, is essential. When you leave, do not foolishly question the wisdom received; arguing is a sign of ignorance. Be the light yourself.
The story illustrates discernment. A king sought a husband for his highly educated daughter. She would only marry a man who could answer all her questions and defeat her at chess. After a long search, messengers found a shepherd cutting the branch he sat on. They prepared him to meet the princess, instructing him to remain silent. During their discussion on Vedānta, he broke his silence, proclaiming the unity of the five tattvas. He then won the chess game using a cat's nature, luring it with a mouse hidden in a flute. They married, but later he asked for his goats; she kicked him off a balcony. This fall awakened his Kuṇḍalinī, transforming him into the great poet Kālidāsa.
"Here, you are Śivamaya, and many problems disappear. At home, many conditions arise, but here they vanish."
"A wise one will never put a question, because the wise are wise. Who puts the question? The ignorant, because they do not know."

Eat healthy food and live as a human
11:20 - 12:03 (43 min)
The simplicity of spiritual practice lies in daily remembrance and conscious living.
Historically, people across faiths integrated prayer into daily life, like family meals. Now, such observance has declined, correlating with modern negativity. Dietary choices reflect this shift; some move away from traditional vegetarianism, while others adopt veganism from compassion for animals. Health requires mindful eating and periodic fasting, not constant consumption. Simple morning affirmations ground us: acknowledge your humanity, honor Mother Earth, and revere water as life. Modern challenges like pollution and industrial agriculture show our disconnection from these elements. Returning to conscious basics fosters well-being.
"First, when we open our eyes, then tell, 'I am human.'"

Opening of inner eyes
12:10 - 12:47 (37 min)
The inner light and the practice of Trāṭaka reveal the soul's journey. The soul enters the body from cosmic energies, like water cycling between ocean and rain. It arrives through the navel, the seat of the jīva and inner light. All living beings, from animals to seeds, possess this inner sight guiding their growth. Trāṭaka is this concentrated gazing, where the inner eyes open. A story illustrates this: a guru's astral body saved a devotee at sea. To return to his physical body, the disciple focused on the navel, the nābhi, demonstrating the power of inner focus. The practice is about surrendering the ego to perceive the universal soul within all.
"One in all and all in one. Even the green grass, even any trees, bushes, all creatures—everyone has eyes, and they are all looking with their light toward their destination."
"My inner eyes should open, and when they open, that is the other one."

Holi Festival
12:55 - 13:29 (34 min)
God incarnates through specific situations (Nimitta) and through the eternal senses (Nityāvatāra). We are in Kali Yuga, a dark age where spiritual values decline. Long ago, the demon king Hiraṇyakaśipu performed severe austerities to gain a boon making him nearly invincible. He declared himself the only god and demanded worship. However, his young son Prahlāda was a pure devotee, constantly chanting the divine name "Hari Om Tatsat." The king tried repeatedly to kill Prahlāda: through his fire-immune sister Holi, who burned instead; by throwing him to crocodiles, elephants, and off a cliff. Each time, divine protection saved the boy. Finally, the enraged king challenged Prahlāda to embrace a red-hot iron pillar, demanding he renounce God or prove God's existence. As Prahlāda moved to hug the pillar, it burst open, and the divine form of Narasiṁha, half-man and half-lion, emerged. This avatāra killed Hiraṇyakaśipu at twilight in a doorway, using no weapon, thus fulfilling the conditions of the boon and saving His devotee.
"Repeat and repeat the name of God. That is a mahāmantra, the best mantra, the great mantra."
"Whom God saves, no one can kill. Not even one hair can be damaged if God is the protector."

We are Humans
13:35 - 14:03 (28 min)
The nature of practice is to inquire into what you are not, to discover the Self.
We perform many actions and yoga postures, naming animals and forms, but you are not that movement or those names. You are not the body practicing. We identify with elements like water, necessary for life, yet you are not that either. We live within a body and a world, like passengers in an aeroplane, but this too is not you. Life appears and disappears, and we question where the prāṇa goes. We speak of God but have not seen God. The ultimate reality is described as light, yet even that description falls away into nothingness. The practice is to see that all these appearances—the body, the world, the elements—are not you. The true state is a oneness beyond all forms and descriptions, where there is no separation. Be with this inquiry.
"All that is moving is not you; it is that."
"There is no light also, it’s going dead."

Mantra is with you for your whole life
14:10 - 14:32 (22 min)
Two paths define human life: the worldly path of material progress and the spiritual path of conscious living. The worldly path, like that of medicine, is good but ultimately leads to an end without deeper life or meditation. The spiritual path is everything; it is our daily actions, thoughts, and relationships. We must think of our children and family unity, not separation. A story illustrates this: a couple, from their school days through fifty years of marriage, harbored a silent grievance over who received the soft part of the bread, never communicating their true feelings. This shows how small, unspoken things can define a life. The spiritual solution is a personal mantra, given now, which will stay with you forever. This path requires discipline: no meat, essentially no alcohol. Life is a choice. One who lives spiritually ascends; one who lives otherwise, consuming other creatures, goes back. These are the two things.
"Spiritual human life is everything."
"One will go up, and the other will go again, go back."

The Journey Beyond Duality: Life, Self, and the Path to Oneness
20:45 - 21:57 (72 min)
Life is a journey beyond duality toward the oneness of the immortal Self. Creation begins with two parallel energies: the divine Devī Śakti and the negative Āsurī Śakti. Our existence is bound by dualities like life and death, body and shadow. The true Self, the Ātmā, is immortal and beyond karma, distinct from the soul which experiences karma. Even at higher astral levels, we remain influenced by these two śaktis. Liberation requires transcending all dualities, including heaven and hell, to achieve union with the highest Self. Yoga is this union. Our life is governed by three guṇas: Sattva (purity), Rajas (activity), and Tamas (dullness), influenced by our lifestyle and nourishment. We possess ten senses: five for knowledge and five for action. Prāṇa is the vital energy sustaining life, distinct from mere breath. Prāṇāyāma practices like Nāḍī Śodhana balance the Iḍā (lunar) and Piṅgalā (solar) channels, leading to Haṭha Yoga—their harmonious union. Authentic Haṭha Yoga consists of six purification techniques. Energy flows through nāḍīs, creating chakras at their intersections. The aim is a healthy body and mind for spiritual development, ultimately realizing the Self beyond all duality.
"Because in Ātmā, in the self, there are no dualities; there is only oneness."
"Yoga means union. Union means that individual consciousness, the individual soul... is always searching to come to the origin."

Respect is important
22:05 - 22:58 (53 min)
Our words and gestures carry profound energy that shapes our spiritual reality.
The way we speak and act directly influences our inner state and our path. An anecdote illustrates this: a man feared the yoga pose called Śavāsana, the corpse pose. After explaining there is no need to fear death, the pose was renamed Ānandāsana, the bliss pose. This shows the power of language. We do not "take" a mantra; we may "receive" it as a sacred gift, which creates a completely different, reverent attitude. Modern communication is becoming impoverished, losing fine emotion and respect. How we address others matters deeply; calling someone "Devī" (goddess) evokes a different energy than crude language. Our physical gestures are equally important. Serving food with a disrespectful hand or attitude poisons the offering, regardless of its physical purity. The value we assign to spiritual objects, like a mālā, determines the benefit we receive from them. Respect is not about slowness but about conscious, loving energy in every action and word.
"After that, Swāmījī changed it; it is no longer Śavāsana or Mṛtāsana, but Ānandāsana."
"You get from everything only as much as you respect it, or how much you value it."

What means Satsang
23:05 - 0:21 (76 min)
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan, Rajasthan, India. Nearly one-hour bhajan singing. Without prayers, meditation and singing bhajans humans life is not complete. When we are coming to the prayer we are in oneness again. In Satsang, we are in the truth. Do not continue with negative thinking. That one is lost.
