Do good things and be happy
0:15 - 1:01 (46 min)
Bhajan is a supreme spiritual practice, singing the divine names that unite all hearts beyond language. It brings inner peace and beauty, relaxing the body and mind. Yet, the world contains both good and negative tendencies, like violence and intoxication. All religions contain happiness, but the highest path avoids harming others. Every living creature possesses and offers peace and love. A story illustrates this: a great tree, confident in its strength, was warned by a sādhu of its coming end. It doubted any man or elephant could break it. Later, the sādhu returned to find the tree fallen, destroyed not by great force but by a small, persistent agent. Do not mistake size for security or become arrogant in power. In this age, conflict is prevalent, but our essence is divine spirit. True practice is inward. Be wary of those who claim greatness while seeking material gain. The divine encompasses all dualities.
"Bhajan gives us very beautiful words: Hare, Bhagavān, Kṛṣṇa, Rāma—all of them."
"Don’t think that I am okay, powerful, and that I don’t want anybody else like this."

We suffer because we left Nature
1:05 - 1:55 (50 min)
The true home is not a physical place but the heart's connection to all existence.
The family we are born into is often difficult, but yoga reveals the entire world as our true family. Religious festivals, understood through a master's light, transform from ritual into spiritual meaning. The goal is to absorb divine sweetness like a wooden spoon in honey, which requires an open heart, not ego. We are all plants in God's garden meant to bear the fruit of knowledge, which must be shared or it is lost. This is the living tradition. The path to the highest reality is through the guru principle, found not in ego but in humility, like an ant finding a grain of sugar. Human suffering arises from living unnaturally, disconnected from the laws of nature. We must return to a natural way of living through practice and by teaching what we have learned.
"Only through the knowledge of yoga—from a self-realized master—are we able to understand the messages hidden within religion."
"If you do not teach others, they will be lost after your death. Therefore, it is called a living school."

We are going for oneness
2:00 - 2:48 (48 min)
The path is to transcend the sense of a separate self and realize oneness. Yoga means to unite with the cosmic reality. The individual self is temporary, like the daily sun, while the inner self is eternal light. Do not think only "I am"; countless beings exist within one body. All paths move toward merging into the divine unity of Śiva, Brahmā, and Viṣṇu. If one clings to duality and separation, one becomes lost. The practice is to go with this flow toward unity, not against it. Ultimately, the body returns to dust, but the pure consciousness remains. Continuously remember the guru and the divine name to connect with that light. All gurus and traditions lead to the same one reality.

Preparing the Kalash
2:55 - 3:37 (42 min)
The essence of grace and refuge is found in devotion and surrender. This text is a devotional chant of praise and invocation, not a logical discourse. Its purpose is spiritual communion through repeated sacred names and phrases. The structure is repetitive and formulaic, focusing on reverence. It invokes the Guru and divine figures as the ultimate refuge. The fragmented phrases are for meditative repetition, not linear analysis. The core is taking refuge in grace.

Morning lecture from Strilky seminar
3:45 - 4:27 (42 min)
Sit in a straight meditation posture and relax the entire body. Be aware of being in nature, within the divine atmosphere of the āśram. Withdraw from the external world and bring awareness to the breath. This breath is the thread of life. Inhale cosmic energy and exhale toxins. Practice Nāḍī Śodhana Prāṇāyāma by breathing through one nostril at a time to purify the nerves and tranquilize thoughts. Concentrate on the breath at the center of the eyebrows, where a sparkling light may be seen. Conclude by feeling the environment, chanting OM, and performing a forward bend to benefit the senses and brain.
"Our breath is the thread of our life."
"This prāṇāyāma is known as Nāḍī Śodhana Prāṇāyāma, or the purification of the nerves."

Kundalini: The Serpent Power of Destiny
4:35 - 5:25 (50 min)
Kundalini is the dormant power within consciousness that directs destiny. This energy, symbolized as a serpent, represents time and death. Time, or Kāla, is a constant companion like a shadow, while knowledge walks as its counterpart. Acting with awareness of place and time brings harmony. Destiny is the product of one's own past actions, like a thrown stone that cannot be recalled. Human life is rare, and liberation requires a human birth, spiritual interest, and a master. Kundalini awakening is the light of wisdom that frees one from destiny's power. Control emotions and act with awareness of circumstance.
"Act according to the time and place. Whoever can adjust himself or herself to this time and situation will be successful."
"Destiny is the product of your own actions. No one is there to be blamed."

Atma and the Soul
5:30 - 6:11 (41 min)
The essence is realizing the non-dual Self, Ātmā Anubhūti. Ātmā is the individual Self, identical to the supreme Paramātmā. Like space is one though occupying different forms, the one Ātmā is within all entities. What is commonly called the soul is individual, a mixture, but the pure Ātmā is beyond desires and is consciousness itself. For this realization, Śaṅkarācārya taught Advaita, non-duality. He illustrated this with the reflection of one moon in many cups of water; the reflections are many, but the moon is one. Duality is ignorance, like mistaking a rope for a snake, which creates fear. When knowledge dawns, the illusion vanishes. This ignorance is removed by the light of knowledge within. Therefore, practice is essential through resolve and discipline to experience this unity. Do not delay practice with excuses. "There is only one moon, and that one is reflected in the different bodies, the ātmā." "When our viveka, our knowledge-light dawns... Ignorance is darkness; knowledge is the light." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
The Union of Consciousness: Yoga, Chakras, and the Human Journey
6:15 - 6:46 (31 min)
Yoga is the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness, achieved through balance. The universe is an endless, conscious body. Within it, the divine will manifested as the sound Aum, from which the elements emerged. The human form is special due to its educable intellect. The physical body is sustained by 72,000 energy channels, or nāḍīs, which distribute cosmic energy. Three principal nāḍīs—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā—govern our being and intersect at energy centers called chakras. The dormant spiritual power, Kuṇḍalinī, awakens as super-consciousness, uniting these energies. Our current consciousness is often mired in lower chakras, leading to animalistic behaviors and negative emotions like jealousy. The mind cannot be controlled, only guided, as it moves between the conscious and subconscious. Physical death is a recycling of elements, analogous to the soul's reincarnation.
"Yoga means balance. Where there is balance, there is harmony. Where there is harmony, there is unity."
"The mind cannot be controlled. If you control the mind, then psychic problems will appear. You cannot control the river, you cannot block it, you can guide the river."

Raising the Kalash
6:50 - 7:33 (43 min)
The call to samādhi is a profound spiritual instruction.
Sit down completely. This sitting is the foundation. It is the first and final instruction for entering deep meditation. The mind must settle into absolute stillness. From this stillness, divine connection arises. Invocations and chants align the practitioner with higher consciousness. They sanctify the space and the seeker. The ultimate goal is union with the divine principle.
"Sit down, sit down, sit down,... sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down,... sit down,..."

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram , Rajastham, India. We have no right to print and multiply Alakhpuriji's photo. It is saved by copyright. Yoga asanas are originated from the nature given by Siva. There are many other asanas which are originated from the movements of the rishis. We should come out from the cycles of birth and death. Practising asanas means respecting nature. Satsang bhajans and good words are our spiritual nourishing.

9:15 - 9:57 (42 min)
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.
"Yoga is universal. So I see your centers... as centers of universal brotherhood."
"Yoga means balance, harmony, and unity."

Feel the divine sounds of bhajans in your heart
10:05 - 11:07 (62 min)
Satsang is the gathering for truth.
Coming together creates a strength and fullness beyond solitude. 'Sat' is truth, the fundamental reality of our being and awareness. 'Sang' means together—with oneself and with the divine. This union is Satsang. We engage through bhajan, where inner truth manifests as outer song. True singing arises from within, making the singer an instrument for divine vibration. Even in sleep, truth permeates our dreams. A story illustrates how inner truth clarifies reality: a man's dream of ice cream later manifests through his wife's action, revealing the inner reality shaping the outer. Spiritual practice requires removing impurities to perceive this truth directly. The voice in bhajan channels this energy, uniting singer, instrument, and listener in one vibration.
"Sat means the truth. We are all here, we are, we know, and we should be."
"True singing arises from within, making the singer an instrument for divine vibration."

Yoga Sadhana
12:20 - 13:13 (53 min)
Sādhanā is the essential science for returning to the divine self. Yoga is not for material gain but for cosmic union. This practice requires dedicated effort, not mere discussion. Many approach spiritual life with worldly attachments, but only those who sit and practice sincerely remain. The true treasure is not material wealth but the inner wealth gained through sādhanā. The body is merely a vehicle; one must not identify with it. The mind must be purified and guided, like managing unruly horses pulling a chariot. A master shapes a disciple as a potter shapes clay, with care and support, but a flawed vessel may be broken and remade. All beings are part of a greater flow, like stones in the Ganga. Ego is fragile and must be surrendered to become a light for the Guru.
"Sādhanā cara karo Hari pyārā, jinse pāo hogā tere ānanda apārā."

Satsang is the source of happiness and enlightenment
14:55 - 15:55 (60 min)
The three monkeys embody the wisdom to avoid negative influences. A disciple left his master and became lost in unhappiness. He encountered three monkeys in a forest. The first monkey looked away from him. The second monkey covered its ears as he spoke. The third monkey told him to be silent when he complained. The disciple felt rejected. He later met a wise teacher who explained the monkeys' actions were profound lessons. The first taught not to look upon the negativity in others. The second taught not to listen to negative or foolish words. The third taught not to speak negativity or complaint. Satsaṅg, righteous company, is the source of happiness. Kusaṅga, bad company, is the source of trouble. Therefore, one must guard the senses and mind from all that is negative.
