A public lecture on integrating yoga philosophy and practice into daily life, focusing on self-knowledge and chakra awakening. "Yoga is a balancing principle which balances the entire universe. Where there is balance, there is harmony." "Unless we change our qualities, we cannot become one with God. Human qualities are love, understanding, kindness, mercifulness, helping, spiritual, and so on." Swami Paramadvaiti addresses an audience, explaining yoga as a science for achieving harmony and union with the cosmic consciousness. He discusses the nature of human problems, the journey of the individual soul, and the importance of cultivating positive qualities. The lecture then delves into practical yoga techniques for health and stress relief, before providing a detailed teaching on the energy body, focusing on the awakening and purification of the Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra and its associated emotions.

A direct address to yoga students on the necessity of disciplined daily practice for physical and mental purification. "Practicing means at home—here you only learn. Practicing for just one week is ineffective; it must be a continuous, daily process." "We must become sāttvic. Where the body is sāttvic, there is no vikāra. Vikāra exists in the mind as well." Swami Avatarpuri (Swāmījī) leads a satsang, critiquing the lack of consistent practice among attendees. He stresses that health through daily āsana, prāṇāyāma, and seasonal cleansing techniques like Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is the essential foundation for spirituality. He expands on the concepts of vikāra (impurity/illness) and the guṇas, urging a transformation in diet (āhār), recreation (vihār), behavior (ācār), and thought (vicār). The talk includes practical instructions, responses to questions about cleansing practices, and a call for teachers to become examples of yogic health. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Sri Ram - Kirtan sung by Ally. Swami Jasraj Puri brings an example: When on the spiritual path arise doubts - hold on, it will calm down. Swami Sannyasanand speaks about Pranayama, Ida and Pingala breathing. Swamiji speaks about Lord Shiva,Yog Shakti, the sound OM and Siddhis - the supernatural powers. Atman is universal, the Self, it is immortal. It is like the space, no one can destroy,fire cannot burn nor dead can effect it. Jivatma is individual,is born,reborn comming and going. It is a bundle of our karmas and there are 4 ways to do karma. Swamiji tells a episode from the Ramayana, about Garuda, the carrier of Lord Vishnu as he lost his bhakti to Lord Rama and he was suffering a lot because of his doubts. We have 9 doors where the soul will go out of the body.We can lead ourselves to the Brahman or we can lead ourselves down, it depends on our individual karma and our practice.

He discusses the validity of Vedic sciences like astrology (Jyotish) but emphasizes the supreme power of the guru's grace to alter destiny, illustrating this with a traditional parable about a guru changing the fate of two royal children. He shares personal anecdotes of learning to obey the guru's guidance, concluding that true peace comes from complete surrender to the guru's will, allowing him to manage one's life and mitigate karma.
