The Nāḍīs, Cakras, and the Mūlādhāra Foundation
0:16 - 1:13 (57 min)
A spiritual lecture on the nāḍīs, cakras, and the foundational Mūlādhāra Cakra.
"The Mūlādhāra Cakra is at the bottom of the spinal column. It is a border between animal and human consciousness."
"Destiny was created first, and destiny is created individually. We should blame no one. We are ourselves responsible for our destiny."
The speaker continues a discourse from the previous day, focusing on the Mūlādhāra Cakra as the seat of destiny (prārabdha) and divine energy. He explains how this foundational energy influences life and can be purified through the threefold practice of svādhyāya (self-study), manana (contemplation), and abhyāsa (persistent practice), which remove the obstacles of impurity, distraction, and veils. The talk connects these concepts to Kuṇḍalinī Śakti, the role of Kriyā Yoga, and concludes with a symbolic discussion of the tilak mark.

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Zagreb, Croatia. Yoga is for the whole life. Guru is the navigator that leads us to our destination. Reading many books and practicing different technics keeps us on the path, but for reaching the aim we should follow the Alakhpuriji's Lineage, even in the next life. As birds find their nests at sunset, our roots are residing in this lineage. The Soul goes out of the body quickly, like the bird flies from the cave, or like the falling star is moving. Explanation of the prayer "Sri Guru Atma".

A discourse on the two pillars of spiritual practice: physical sādhana and mantra sādhana.
"Therefore, if we can tell to ourself... Try to reduce many, many, many desires, or many things that you want to have."
"So finally, for anyone who wants to do the sādhana, spiritual development, then mantra. And that mantra is the pillar of the devotion."
Swami Ji addresses a gathering, weaving teachings on yoga, contentment (śāntoṣa), and desire with personal anecdotes and humor. He explains that while physical practice must adapt to one's age, the constant spiritual pillar is mantra repetition, which purifies consciousness and should never be abandoned. He cautions against materialism and fanaticism, urging a simple, disciplined practice for health and inner peace.
