We suffer because we left Nature
0:35 - 1:25 (50 min)
The true home is found not in the blood family, but in the spiritual family and the heart's openness. Our worldly home can be difficult, but yoga reveals the whole world as God's family. Understanding religious festivals requires the light of a self-realized master, transforming belief into spirituality. Gatherings in that light are different, guided by Ahiṃsā.
We must become like a wooden spoon that retains sweetness, not a metal spoon that is washed clean. This requires opening the heart with humility; ego acts like Teflon, causing everything to slide away. When returning to a non-spiritual environment, maintain inner softness and practice. We are in God's garden meant to bear fruit. Knowledge must be given or it is lost; this is a living tradition, Sanātana Dharma.
The path to Brahman, the highest reality, requires a guru. Humility is key: the small ant finds the sugar, not the large elephant. The female principle is highly divine. Human suffering arises because we have left nature. We must return to a natural way of living through yoga and diet, and teach what we learn.
"Slowly, we will gain that sweetness. That is all we need."
"Humbleness, kindness, and that clear-minded bhakta will find that Satguru."

The Awakening of Kuṇḍalinī: A Journey to Happiness, Love, and Wisdom
11:00 - 11:28 (28 min)
The awakening of Kuṇḍalinī is a journey to happiness, universal love, and wisdom. Our journey spans many lives as we develop individual consciousness, which is part of the cosmic Self. Yoga is the practice of reunion with that Self. We have five bodies, or kośas: the physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and causal bodies. The causal body holds two levels of joy: limited worldly happiness and divine, everlasting bliss. The soul is the collection of our karmas and qualities, not the divine Self. At self-realization, this soul dissolves. When the physical body dies, the karma and qualities persist like a shadow, determining future destiny. Chakras receive and circulate cosmic energy. They must be purified through mantra and yogic practice for Kuṇḍalinī to awaken. Without proper guidance, this awakening can cause imbalance and unpleasant feelings. The term Kuṇḍalinī relates to a deep place of unconsciousness where past experiences reside. Its serpentine symbolism refers to the winding path of the body's energy channels, the nāḍīs. Awakening is not a physical crawling sensation but a process that brings happiness, universal love, and wisdom in stages.
"Yoga means union, and practicing yoga means reunion. We are part of the cosmic Self."
"The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means happiness, universal love, and wisdom—these three are connected by these three nāḍīs."

Kundalini: The Serpent Power of Destiny
13:50 - 14:40 (50 min)
Kundalini is the dormant serpent power of destiny within consciousness. This energy, symbolized by the snake representing time and death, is our latent potential. Our life is governed by destiny, which is the product of our own past actions. No one else is responsible. To navigate this destiny, one must act with awareness of deśa and kāla—place and time. Controlling emotions and adjusting to circumstances brings harmony. The goal is awakening this Kundalini, which is enlightenment—the light of wisdom and love within. This liberation frees one from destiny's power. Human life is rare, and having spiritual interest and a guide is a great blessing for this journey.
"Destiny is the product of your own actions. No one is there to be blamed."
"Act according to the time and place. Whoever can adjust himself or herself to this time and situation will be successful."

The Union of Consciousness: Yoga, Chakras, and the Human Journey
15:35 - 16:06 (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."

Shiva is universal
16:10 - 16:31 (21 min)
The human body and all life are profoundly influenced by the seasons and the earth's radiance. The greatest threat today is climate change, caused by human greed. This mental pollution creates physical pollution, leading to drought and suffering. If we had followed the prayers and instructions of ancient sages, this situation would not exist. People pray for rain, but often do so selfishly as beggars. Śiva asks for unconditional love and devotion, not begging. The use of chemical pesticides creates unbearable heat in the earth, harming it like a cancer and contributing to environmental breakdown. The four monsoon months are designated for dedicated worship and meditation on Lord Śiva. Śiva is the eternal, undestroyable consciousness from which all manifestation arises. I advise all to meditate on Śiva and repeat the mantra. Prayer must come from a heart of endless love, not like morning dew that vanishes. Pray for forgiveness and for the sake of all creatures and vegetation.
"Mother Earth has enough for everyone’s need, but not for their greed."
"Where there is love, there are no conditions: unconditional love, unconditional devotion."

We are going for oneness
17:25 - 18:13 (48 min)
The path is to transcend duality and realize oneness. Yoga means to unite with the cosmic. We are temporary, like a bubble, but the ātmā within is eternal light, like the sun. Do not think "only I am"; countless beings exist within one. All paths move toward merging, like drops into the ocean. If you see only "I," you create darkness. Our joy here is not the final joy. We must go with the wind of oneness, not against it, or we break. Do not cling to country, money, or ego; we return to dust. What goes with the ātmā is purity and light. Constantly remember the guru's name—"Gurudev"—this connects you to the divine light. Researching externally is being lost; the true search is within, for the guru within. All forms and mantras lead to the one. Hold to that one thread.
"One in all and all in one."
"Gurudev, Gurudev, Gurudev. Constantly, we are hooked with our Gurudev."

Atma and the Soul
18:20 - 19:01 (41 min)
The essence is realizing the non-dual Self, or Ātmā Anubhūti. Our practice, Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna, is a resolve for this experience. The individual Ātmā is ultimately one with the supreme Paramātmā, like space within different vessels. Śaṅkarācārya's non-dual philosophy teaches this unity. He used the example of one moon reflected in many cups of water; the reflections are many, but the moon is one. Similarly, the one Ātmā is reflected in all beings. Ignorance creates duality, like mistaking a rope for a snake, which brings fear. True knowledge dispels this illusion. We must practice diligently, not procrastinate, to awaken to the light of this knowledge and realize we are the pure, everlasting Ātmā.
"Śaṅkarācārya said there is duality in matter, but unity is in oneness in Ātmā."
"From where did the snake come? How did the fear awake? That was ignorance."

We mark 25 years of teaching Yoga in Daily Life here, a voluntary mission from an authentic Indian school. We secured our own space, now becoming a blessed ashram. We have brought yoga to schools, libraries, and communities for all ages through dedicated effort. Yoga is ancient, a science of body, mind, and soul, intertwined with Āyurveda as natural knowledge for health. It is not passive meditation but active practice for concentration and peace. Its universal message is recognized internationally. We must return to natural living, embracing yoga and Āyurveda for well-being, seeing all cultures and people as one family under God.

Nārada, cursed by his own pride, confronts Viṣṇu after an illusion reveals his folly. He sees his true form but remains unsatisfied, consumed by anger. He journeys to curse Viṣṇu, accusing Him of jealousy and trickery, citing the churning of the ocean. Nārada pronounces a curse: Viṣṇu will take a human body, be aided by monkeys, and suffer separation from His wife. Viṣṇu accepts the curse calmly, for it is His own will. When He dissolves the illusion, Nārada sees the truth and begs forgiveness, horrified by his own words. Viṣṇu, merciful, promises a method of atonement.
"Either I will give a curse to Viṣṇu, or I will commit suicide in front of him."
"O Merciful Lord! May my śrāpa, my curse, become powerless. I don’t want that to come true."

Hanumanji
23:00 - 23:26 (26 min)
The divine play between God and devotee involves tests to purify ego.
God and devotee are ultimately one, appearing in two forms to enact a divine play. Hanuman, an incarnation of Shiva, is the perfect devotee of Rama, an incarnation of Vishnu. After Rama's victory, he tasked Hanuman with remaining on Earth to protect devotees. One day, while Hanuman chanted Rama's name, he reflected on his own indispensable deeds in Rama's mission. Sensing this rising ego, Rama devised a lesson. He praised Hanuman extensively and then gave him a simple duty: to deliver a ring to a sage in the Himalayas. Hanuman journeyed there and found the sage, who instructed him to throw the ring into a water pond. When Hanuman hesitated, the sage told him to retrieve it. Hanuman found the pond filled with identical rings. The sage explained that each ring represented a past divine incarnation, and Vishnu performed similar heroic deeds through each. Hanuman's great feats were not unique but part of the eternal divine play, accomplished through divine grace. The lesson was to dissolve the devotee's ego.
"Hanuman, whenever Vishnu incarnates on this earth, he has to pay the tax."
"Go and say to Rāma that... 'Your duty is finished, now you can go back.'"
