The hidden powers in humans - Nadis
0:25 - 0:56 (31 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on yoga, consciousness, and the chakra system. "Yoga means balance. Where there is balance, there is harmony. Where there is harmony, there is unity.

A spiritual teacher delivers an evening satsang, exploring the foundational principles of yoga as union and the hidden energies within the human body. He explains the creation from cosmic sound, the five elements, and the human intellect. The discourse details the network of 72,000 nāḍīs (energy channels), the three primary channels (Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumṇā), and the eight major chakras, linking them to consciousness, emotion, and behavior. He cautions against trying to control the mind, advising instead to guide it. Filming location: Sunshine Coast, Australia

The lecturer delivers an evening talk, beginning with the science of breath (Pūrak, Rechak, Kumbhak) and the sacredness of Sanskrit. He expands the theme to describe a profound chain of pollution: of the Earth, our physical bodies through toxins, and finally our minds through negative thoughts. He presents yoga and prāṇāyāma as the essential science to purify these layers, explaining how breathwork balances the Ida and Pingala nadis and burns away karmic impurities, ultimately leading to unity with Brahman.
