The hidden powers in humans - Nadis
9:35 - 10:06 (31 min)
Yoga is the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness, achieved through balance. The universe is an endless cosmic body containing a consciousness that desired to multiply, initiated by the sound Oṁ. From this resonance, the five elements were created, forming 8.4 million creatures, including humans distinguished by intellect. The human body contains 72,000 energy channels (nāḍīs) receiving cosmic energy. Three primary channels—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā—govern emotion, activity, and consciousness, intersecting at energy centers called chakras. Key chakras include Mūlādhāra and Sahasrāra. Kuṇḍalinī is the symbolic serpentine energy whose awakening unites these channels. Consciousness (Śiva) and energy (Śakti) must coordinate. Lower chakras relate to animalistic behaviors when active without heart coordination. The mind coordinates between subconscious impressions and conscious desires; it cannot be controlled, only guided. Physical practices are not yoga itself but methods to create the balance that is yoga.
"Yoga means balance, and where there is a balance, there is a harmony, and where there is a harmony, there is a unity, and therefore yoga means literally the union: the union of the individual consciousness with the cosmic consciousness."
"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."

A speaker addresses the gathering at an ashram, emphasizing the immense fortune of being in satsang rather than engaged in worldly affairs. He contrasts the "rich food" of spiritual practice with "mental fast food," stating that the true blessing and transformative power lies in the direct grace (prasāda) received from the Guru through humble greeting and presence, which can release karma and change one's life. The talk includes reflections on purity and concludes with logistical remarks about future programs.

The Role of Yoga and Meditation in Improving Quality of Life for Cancer Patients
18:00 - 19:07 (67 min)
Yoga is a body-mind practice studied as an adjunct to allopathic cancer treatment. Research shows it can improve stress, anxiety, depression, and quality of life for patients. However, data on improving physical function or sleep is less clear. Crucially, yoga is not a cure for cancer. Giving false hope that yoga, prāṇāyāma, or herbs alone can cure cancer is harmful and delays effective treatment, often until the disease is advanced. The ethical principle for all healers is to first do no harm and work for the welfare of all. A proper lifestyle with balanced diet, conduct, and thought is foundational for health. For younger patients, who are more prevalent in some societies, yogic intervention may offer particular benefit by improving well-being and potentially aiding tolerance to therapy. More robust, standardized, large-scale studies are needed.
"Please do not give false hope that cancer will be cured."
"ever engaged in the welfare of all... We should at no time do any harm."

The Endless Glory of the Rāmāyaṇa
20:15 - 21:06 (51 min)
The Rāmāyaṇa is the endless glory of God Rāma, a source of divine joy and wisdom. Listening to it grants devotion and liberates one from ignorance. Its blissful nature is compared to the full moon, bringing pleasure to all, especially saints. Lord Śiva originally narrated it to Pārvatī, and Tulsīdāsa conveys that telling. The glory of God and this narrative are infinite, like an ocean without borders. Entering this spiritual wisdom is gentle and blissful. Countless versions of the Rāmāyaṇa exist, as saints have always sung God's praise in diverse ways. Hearing it with love and without doubt is key. We naturally crave these stories because we are part of God; hearing them reconnects us to our source amidst life's worldly conflicts. Different devotees require different spiritual approaches, just as batteries need specific charges. Pure-hearted listeners are not surprised but enjoy this endlessly. I bow to my Guru and Lord Śiva, seeking blessings to describe Rāma's qualities. This was begun on a holy day in April. The sacred river Sarayū in Ayodhyā is where devotees bathe and remember Rāma, purifying their karma. One must always remember God, in happiness and trouble. That holy land liberates all beings who die there. Keep God in your heart, making it a temple.
"Those who listen to it will gain wisdom and bhakti devotion, and will cross the ocean of ignorance."
"Rāma is endless, and His qualities, His guṇas, are also endless. His līlās and the telling about Him are also without any boundary."
