Mind and chakras
2:15 - 2:40 (25 min)
Recorded on
The mind functions as a pendulum between the conscious and subconscious levels. Our awake, conscious state receives information through the five senses. These present-moment impressions are immediately transferred to the subconscious, a storeroom of all past experiences from this life. These stored impressions generate desires, or vāsanā. Intense desires rise from the subconscious into the conscious mind. The intellect gives form and judgment to these desires. Unfulfilled conscious desires return to the subconscious, often re-emerging in dreams. If they remain unfulfilled even there, they lose their formed connection to the intellect and become formless psychic problems, manifesting as anxiety or restlessness. Do not block the flow of mind and desire like a dammed river, as this causes psychic disturbance. Instead, direct the mind through self-discipline by controlling the senses and limiting desires. The mind is changeable like the moon, connected to emotion and the water element. Balance between emotion, intellect, and consciousness is essential. Energy channels, or nāḍīs, interact at energy centers called chakras. The subconscious is linked to the svādhiṣṭhāna chakra. Lower chakras relate to animalistic qualities, while higher chakras relate to divine consciousness. Unresolved psychic problems are often lodged in these lower centers. "Impressions and desires are like a river flowing constantly. You should not block the river." "Self-discipline means to direct your mind, your desires, your ambition... in that particular direction." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia
Chakras, Nadis and Kundalini
2:45 - 3:24 (39 min)
Recorded on
A discourse on the subtle energy systems of yoga, including chakras, nāḍīs, and the mind. "The chakras are a methodological representation. You will not see this exact picture if you look within your own body, so do not try to see it literally." "The mind is a river; we should not block it. If we block a dam, we must provide an outlet. Without an outlet, the dam will break and cause greater harm. The mind needs direction." The teacher provides a detailed explanation of the chakra and nāḍī (energy channel) system, relating it to human physiology, the elements, and life metaphors like a leaf separating from a tree. Key themes include the symbolic nature of chakras, the function of the Iḍā and Piṅgalā nāḍīs, the dangers of improperly awakening kuṇḍalinī energy, and how suppressed emotions manifest as physical ailments. The talk integrates concepts of the five sheaths (kośas), the role of the guru, and the purpose of spiritual practice for holistic health. Filming location: London, UK
The Foundations of Consciousness: Understanding the Chakras
3:30 - 4:02 (32 min)
Recorded on
The chakras are energy centers mapping consciousness from earth to divinity. Earth and vegetation centers in the feet connect us to matter and can cause heaviness. Animal chakras from ankles to knees govern lower instincts. The five human chakras above this border retain animal qualities and human weakness. The Ājñā Chakra is the border between human and divine consciousness; awakening it reveals the inner master. However, rejecting an outer master indicates a confused Ājñā, dominated by intellect and ego. Ājñā means command, granting mastery over senses and karma. The Mūlādhāra chakra is the root foundation, the causal body of desires that determines destiny and stability. Its red color symbolizes earth, blood, and Śakti—the divine feminine energy. The lotus flower represents divine beauty and purity, untouched by worldly impurity. Love, symbolized by the red color, is the creative, uniting force connecting us to our foundation. "Gu means darkness, and Ru means light. You enter into the light of wisdom, and you cross the border of this darkness." "Mūl means roots... What is the cause of our life?... Our psychic and physical stability is... in Mūlādhāra." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

The Nature of Kuṇḍalinī, Śiva, and Śakti
4:50 - 5:30 (40 min)
Recorded on
Kuṇḍalinī is the energy and consciousness within us, encompassing our karma and destiny. It is the union of Śiva and Śakti. Śiva is pure, liberating consciousness—the ultimate truth and beauty present in all, beyond gender. Its seat in the body is the Brahmaraṅdhra at the crown. Śakti is the active energy entangled with karma, longing to merge with Śiva for liberation. This union brings Turīya, Self-realization, and the end of rebirth. The human life is the sole opportunity for this realization. Awakening Kuṇḍalinī is a subtle, indescribable spiritual process requiring a master's guidance and years of sāttvic preparation to avoid dangers of the mind straying. It cannot be forced; it arises spontaneously in the correct relationship. The spiritual lineage ensures safe progress. "‘I am the pure consciousness’ is wisdom; ‘I am the body’ is ignorance." "When Śakti merges into Śiva, that is liberation." Filming location: Kranj, Slovenia
The One in All and All in One
5:35 - 6:03 (28 min)
Recorded on
The essence is the oneness of consciousness and the practice of yoga as reunion. Our master taught "One in all and all in one." The cosmic beginning is an endless space, Śūnyākāśa, containing universal consciousness. This consciousness resides within the mother principle, Śakti, like a child in the golden womb. Yoga is the balancing power creating harmony between body, mind, and spirit, not merely the postures or techniques used to achieve it. From the one consciousness arose the divine will to multiply, expressed through the sound Aum. Creation unfolded from this sound: space, then fire, air, water, and earth, forming countless stars and systems. On our planet, one consciousness manifests across 8.4 million life forms. Humans are one race, distinguished by an intellect that can be educated limitlessly or manipulated into fanaticism. True education cultivates human qualities—understanding, respect, and tolerance—which form the basis of human rights. Life is a cycle; whether called reincarnation or recycling, consciousness evolves. Your destiny is a play of consciousness within this endless universe. "Yoga is not physical postures... These are the techniques in order to get the perfect balance." "If you believe in recycling, then where is the problem in believing in reincarnation?" Filming location: Brisbane, Australia
Yoga for the physical body and beyond
6:10 - 6:32 (22 min)
Recorded on
A morning satsang at a summer retreat discussing the modern practice of yoga and a return to spiritual roots. "Spirituality does not mean religious practice. Spirituality means not only doing meditation, but encompasses everything." "Yoga is from the mother’s womb until liberation, and it should be a very easy practice. Everyone can do it." The teacher addresses the assembly, reflecting on the global spread of yoga since International Yoga Day. He cautions against practices focused solely on physical fitness or difficult postures, which he links to future injuries, and criticizes the commercialization of yoga. Emphasizing the need for a genuine guru lineage, he shares the discovery of their spiritual ancestor, Ālagpurījī, in the Himalayas, and concludes with remarks on environmental protection and a blessing for practice.

"Any lecture we hear... for one and a half or two and a half minutes we have concentration, then we don't have concentration... but that story is there; that story will never forget." "We must not have a thousand, but even a hundred is enough, or one is enough. My Gurujī said, 'A hundred goats and one tiger is more than enough.'" The lecturer delivers an evening satsang, moving from observations on preparation and cultural greetings into profound spiritual parables. He shares stories including a Pope testing devotees' faith, a devoted brother walking on water, and the mythological tales of Śiva, Śakti, and the sage Śukadeva, all illustrating that heartfelt devotion surpasses mere intellectual knowledge. The talk concludes with reflections on the enduring power of stories and the core principles of yoga. Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

Swami Avatarpuri, in the kitchen of Sridev Purījī Ashrama, explains the principles of a vegetarian diet tailored for elite sports performance. He emphasizes digestibility, energy provision, and muscle support, highlighting key ingredients like whole grains, tofu, and legumes.

A spiritual discourse on the chakra system and the qualities needed for self-realization. "Spiritual practice means not only just to sit and meditate and practice mantras, but to change inner feelings. Humbleness is one of the best parts of spirituality." "Dayā dharam kā mūl hai, pāp mūl hai abhimān... the roots of the dharma, right-house-ness, is the mercy. And the roots of the sins is the ego." The lecturer leads a satsang, continuing a series on the chakras. He transitions from discussing the foundational Mūlādhāra Chakra to explaining the Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra. The core teaching outlines five spiritual qualities—Vairāgya (detachment), Tyāga (renunciation), Bhakti (devotion), Jñāna (knowledge), and Dayā (mercy)—as the means to overcome negative obstacles like desire and anger.
