Swami Maheshwarananda delivers an extensive discourse on the awakening of consciousness through Kundalini and the chakra system. He explains yogic anatomy, including the 72,000 nāḍīs (energy channels) and the major chakras, describing their roles in physical, mental, and spiritual development.

A speaker at a yoga retreat in Střílky explains the vast, cyclical time scales of Hindu cosmology.
