0:25 - 1:06 (41 min)
The sound Om harmonizes everything in nature and within us. Yogic practice seeks balance through understanding the five sheaths of our being. The first is the physical body, Annamaya Kośa, formed by nourishment. From this comes energy, Prāṇamaya Kośa, which can be positive or negative based on our thoughts and diet. The third sheath is the mind, Manomaya Kośa, a powerful force that can be trained. Following this is the sheath of knowledge and intelligence. The fifth is freedom from karma. True yoga involves harmonizing these layers. Practice should be slow and exact, focusing on a few postures, breathwork, and meditation to access inner energy and peace. Medicine has its place, but for minor issues, reliance on it is discouraged. The goal is to look within, where the entire universe resides.
"Our body, composed of five elements, is called the body of nourishment."
"Prāṇa is the energy, and prāṇa we can also say is life."

We should be together
0:30 - 1:29 (59 min)
Yoga is a single path of awareness, open to all regardless of external form. Its essence is inner awakening, not merely physical postures. Many techniques exist, from gentle breathwork to strong asanas, but practice must be adapted to one's capacity and health. The true color of a yogi is internal, a commitment to awareness that transcends robes or householder status. This alertness, like a skilled driver fully present, is the core of practice. All possessions and attachments are temporary; only the soul proceeds. Therefore, harmonize in oneness, using yoga for holistic well-being without sectarianism. Practice wisely, respecting the body's limits and seeking proper guidance.
"Yoga is only one, and it is not only physical movements; there are more techniques, and all is called yoga."
"All will be here. At that time, the jīv, your ātmā, your jīvā, will go alone."

The real friendship
1:10 - 2:03 (53 min)
Dīvālī commemorates the return of Bhagavān Rām to Ayodhyā. The celebration originates from that event. When the message of his return came, people traveled great distances. As night fell, villagers lit oil lamps to light the path. They decorated trees with food and hung lights. Everyone arrived singing and dancing, without tiredness. The reunion was marked by heartfelt embraces. The following day is for giving gifts and blessings, symbolizing generosity and shared sustenance. The festival of lights represents the inner light of the heart and spiritual love.

Our heart knows the path
2:05 - 3:01 (56 min)
The spiritual path is founded on inner guidance and the necessity of foundational practice. Progress ultimately depends on grace. The path is positive and clean, not concerned with miracles or negative practices. Differences in tradition are only of language and method. The inner self is always good, but perception in the physical world can become obscured, like a thick fog. One can lose the way and wander. The correct path is found within the heart, not as an external definition. The heart and mind must work together. However, staying on the path requires a guide and a tool. Meditation is an internal process, yet instruction comes from outside. A mālā and mantra are essential for direction, like an airplane needing a flight path. The foundation, like the Mūlādhāra chakra, must be strong and deep, or the entire structure will collapse.
"The path is within your heart."
"Whenever you meditate, you must have your mālā and that mantra."

What is the distance between Earth and sky?
3:05 - 3:58 (53 min)
Awakening is the first step to yoga, beginning with humility and respect. Upon waking, a light opens in the heart, bringing knowledge to the brain, making us aware. This awakening recognizes "I am human," an awareness shared by all creatures. The next acknowledgments are to God, then to Mother and Father. The earth is our mother, the sky our father; we exist between them, supported by both. A yogi once asked the distance between earth and sky. The answer is from the foot on earth to the top of the head. Our steps are on the mother earth, under the father sky. Yoga is not merely postures but the journey where all diversities, like rivers, merge into the one cosmic Self. Practice begins with the intention to do only good.
"From earth to sky, where our foot is on the where? Earth. And where is the height of the sky? Only till the head."
"When we practice the āsanas, we imitate... the art-typical posture of the natures... we get rid of those karmas."

4:05 - 4:42 (37 min)
The path of purification requires the guiding light of the Guru. In this age, inner blackness signifies impurity within the heart and mind. We strive to purify ourselves, but daily thoughts and feelings accumulate like dust upon the inner self. Most people are fundamentally good, yet cleansing the mind is difficult. One may wash the body, but thoughts and dreams remain uncleansed. True relaxation comes not from external roles but from returning to one's essential being. Meditation is the key, yet it cannot be simply given. Many learn techniques, but few truly grasp the essence. Therefore, one requires a Guru for direct guidance to cross the ocean of existence. The destination exists, but each must walk the path.
"Without Gurudeva, we will not catch it, we will not get it."

Learning from a Guru is more valuable
4:50 - 5:53 (63 min)
The spiritual lineage is sustained by the name, not the physical form. Many seek the title of guru without honoring their own masters. True succession follows the guru paramparā. We worship divine names like Śiva and Viṣṇu, whose forms are unseen but whose names are eternal. The body perishes, but the name remains forever, carrying the lineage from the Brahmaloka. Divine principles like Śiva and Pārvatī exist in equal, non-dual unity, akin to two eyes that cannot see each other but function as one. The inner self, the ātmā, transcends the physical body and its temporary voice. True learning comes not from scholarship alone but from connection with a guru. Helping the elderly and disabled through practice is a supreme spiritual act, greater than pilgrimage. Simple yogic movements maintain mobility and strength.
"The body will go. So when we say, let's say, Śiva, we don't know how he was, and so on, but still we remember the name of Shiva."
"If we can help the elderly people, it is the highest holy place, more than helping the elderly people, more than going on pilgrimage."

Learn and be humble
6:00 - 6:35 (35 min)
Make your human life perfect through humility, service, and inner practice.
Learn humility for yourself. Practice helping all humans and animals. Do not take, but give. We possess immense cosmic energy; we only need the will. We can go into ourselves and find endless happiness and peace, like the entire ocean. When we wake, our world is before us; we should give throughout the day. In sleep, we receive energy and everything from within. Our inner meditation is not to be attempted by oneself; it is a different technique from the Guru's lineage. Reflect: what is my life and for what purpose? We are all searching for the Guru on the path. Our physical practice, like Barikatu Pranam and Sarvahitasana, warms the body and returns the self to itself. It strengthens the system and regulates breath. Our lifespan is counted in breaths; we deepen them to inhale and exhale less often. Conclude by feeling your being within and offering mental devotion.
"Learn humility for yourself. Practice helping all humans and animals."
"We know our lifespan is counted with our breath... we try to prolong our breaths so we do not need to inhale and exhale so often."

Bring people to oneness
7:45 - 8:46 (61 min)
The practice of yoga unites us with the cosmic self, fostering oneness among all beings. All traditions and religions aim for health and goodwill, especially during holy days like Christmas. These times invite reflection on the past year and prayers for future peace. The core teaching is that all existence is interconnected—humans, animals, and the living Earth. This unity is expressed through the five sheaths, from the physical to the blissful body. Yoga in daily life is this unifying practice from the Satya Yuga, a tool for joining, not dividing. Festivals and traditions worldwide are expressions of this spiritual unity. The ultimate realization is that everything is contained within the one, and the one is within all.
"One in all and all in one."
"Yoga means uniting. We are joining; we are not throwing."

Without Gurudev we cannot be successful
9:55 - 10:52 (57 min)
The soul's eternal search is for the master, the guru, who provides the essential inner knowledge.
Yoga has existed since the beginning. The soul comes from the universe, developing practice in the cosmic realm before arriving on earth. Its nature is pre-ordained. Each soul has different inherent tendencies. This soul is searching for the guru. There are two kinds of knowledge: worldly education and the inner lecture from the master. That inner quest awakens the feeling of searching. A destined opening occurs, creating a longing to learn. Worldly knowledge, while good, is insufficient. Without the guru, no work is complete. One may try countless methods, but cannot cross the ocean of existence alone. The true guide comes from the Brahmalokas.
"Without Gurudeva, no one can do it."

Traditional customs are very important
11:00 - 11:55 (55 min)
The eternal journey is about faith, divine cycles, and the inner light. Observing the moon's phases brings spiritual energy and blessings. The new moon is a time of great luck, and the eleventh day holds powerful energy for women's rituals. The full moon benefits the earth and is ideal for planting. Celebrations like Christmas involve family, tradition, and the joy of children believing in divine gifts. The tradition of lighting lamps under trees dates back to the return of Rāma. Diwali illuminates India with countless flames. God incarnates in every age, appearing as nimitta for a specific purpose and as nitya, the eternal presence within all. Different religions have holy books and figures, but the living truth is the eternal Sanātana Dharma. The guru-disciple relationship is essential; the disciple is like a drop of water that merges into the ocean of the divine. Through meditation and practice, one realizes the universe within and connects with the inner light.

Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 1 - Part 3
12:00 - 12:53 (53 min)
A morning yoga practice guides the body and mind through relaxation, breath, and movement. Begin by chanting Oṁ to purify the atmosphere. Lie down and consciously relax every part of the body from the toes to the crown of the head. Observe the natural breath. Practice the three components of full yoga breathing: abdominal, chest, and clavicular. Combine them into a single, wave-like breath. Perform gentle stretches and movements synchronized with inhalation and exhalation. These include arm raises, diagonal stretches, and poses like Pavanamuktāsana and Navāsana. Practice side bends and rotations for the wrists and hips. Conclude with standing balances and a final relaxation. Observe the difference in sensation from the beginning to the end of practice. Finish with Prāṇāyāma and the chanting of Oṁ.
"Relax all the muscles of your right foot without moving; let the relaxation occur in your mind."
"Influence your breath and feel how the abdomen expands with inhalation and contracts with exhalation."

Guru leads the disciple to liberation
13:00 - 13:53 (53 min)
Without the Guru, no work is accomplished. Millions may strive, but none can cross the ocean of worldly existence without that guidance. All beings, from the smallest creature to the greatest, carry the soul within and long for liberation from the cosmic self. Rituals, pilgrimages, and austerities alone are insufficient without true knowledge. The journey of the soul is long, through many births and states, including hell, but all beings will ultimately reach the Supreme. For the human birth, proper upbringing is the essential root. Parents must provide constant love, protection, and conscious education from birth. Limit toys, especially violent ones, and prioritize moral learning, good food, and rest. Choose good friends and teach respect for teachers and country. This conscious care awakens the soul toward the divine.
"Guru sā binā kārya naiṁ sare. Koṭi upāya kare, koī chāye, na bhava-sindhu tare."

A time for unity and caution requires spiritual progress.
This period brings both celebration and sorrow. While many observe festive traditions, a global pandemic has caused immense suffering. Physical precautions like distancing are necessary for safety. Traditional greetings like namaste respect this need. All prayers, regardless of language or tradition, share a single essence. At death, the soul is liberated from the body and its distinctions. Concepts of heaven and hell are transient states, not permanent. Divine love is unconditional, like that of a parent. The inner light of the soul is universal and identical in all. Current practices must evolve toward deeper, inward meditation. An initiation will be offered to longstanding students to awaken their inherent divine nature, though self-knowledge remains incomplete. Persist in spiritual practice with faith.

Shiva is balancing all
14:40 - 15:12 (32 min)
The divine principle of Śiva embodies the universal balance between opposing forces. All traditions worship the one God, who manifests through various forms. Śiva represents the conscious force that maintains equilibrium between positive and negative energies, which coexist in all creation—humans, animals, and nature. These dualities are inherent from birth, like twins with different natures, yet both are sustained within a greater harmony. Our spiritual practice involves recognizing and balancing these inner forces. Physical balance exercises are a direct method to cultivate this inner stability, aligning body, mind, and spirit. Focused postures and breath work prepare us for deeper meditation, fostering contentment and peace.
"One side is what we call the sāttvic and spirituals, the holies... But the others also have that; they are very much doing wrong things, fighting. Yet both have to be balanced, like birth and death."
"In each and every creature, there are two—negative and positive. Not only in humans, but also in other creatures—animals, trees, fish, and everything—they have that nature and are working with it."

We are in a time of global change requiring balance and discernment. The lunar cycle moves from darkness to light, affecting all nature. This is Kali Yuga, an age of division where hidden negativity surfaces. All previous ages contained both good and bad. People often claim their path is the only good one, like children arguing. The current era sees increasing negativity across the world, manifesting as conflict and disease. This signals a necessary purification and the rising influence of Śiva, the balancing power born from the elements. Spiritual practice, like yoga or chanting, cultivates inner balance amidst external turmoil.

The singular path to the divine is universal, yet often obscured. Negative thoughts and worldly conflicts, especially in this age, create thorny obstacles. Merely visiting holy places or performing rituals is insufficient without inner purity. The essential guide is the Guru, who provides the key to clarity. Without this guidance, one remains lost despite all efforts. External appearances and religious labels are not the inner cloth of realization. True progress requires surrender to the master's direction.

Be humble and God will come
17:50 - 18:36 (46 min)
True devotion manifests as humility, removing all pride.
Human brotherhood requires harmony, not conflict. Respect all paths while seeking unity. Great teachers like Mahāprabhujī and Devpurījī bestowed blessings and knowledge, leading many to happiness and prosperity. Their nature was divine and humble. Devpurījī, embodying Śiva, lived with utter simplicity, performing miraculous acts to teach. He once provided water from dry sand and restored a buried animal to life. These acts demonstrate divine grace accessible to the devoted. A proud king claimed no one suffered in his kingdom. God tested him as a beggar, revealing the king's hidden ego. The lesson is that pride blinds one to the divine presence. Therefore, never think "I am good." Abandon ego and negative speech. Cultivate humility, for God resides there.

How should we start our day?
18:40 - 19:23 (43 min)
The wealth lies in the vision of the Guru, a treasure of conscious bliss beyond all ritual. This is the core of spiritual practice.
All yoga practices aim to elevate human consciousness to a state of universal love. Begin the day by consciously awakening the body upon rising. Honor the earth as a mother and use water to awaken the nervous system. Greet parents to foster familial unity. Then have darśana, seeing the divine in your spiritual symbols. This conscious approach brings peace to the household. Extend this mindfulness to respecting your food and your work. At work, solidify your roots like a tree endures various conditions; your stability affects others. Even the joyful greeting from a house pet reflects the heart's genuine connection. Knowing "I am human" throughout the day prevents negative actions and fosters mutual respect.
"O japā tapa yoga nahīṁ banāyāve, karuṇā nidhi dayā pramāṇave." (Neither repetition, austerity, nor yoga can accomplish it; only the treasure of compassion and grace is the proof.)

Awakening is the first step to yoga, beginning with humility and respect. Upon waking, a light opens in the heart, bringing knowledge to the brain, making us aware. This awakening recognizes "I am human," an awareness shared by all creatures. The next acknowledgments are to God, then to Mother and Father. The earth is our mother, the sky our father; we exist between them, supported by both. A yogi once asked the distance between earth and sky. The answer is from the foot on earth to the top of the head. Our steps are on the mother earth, under the father sky. Yoga is not merely postures but the journey where all diversities, like rivers, merge into the one cosmic Self. Practice begins with the intention to do only good.
