2:00 - 2:36 (36 min)
Recorded on
A guided instructional session on the Sūrya Namaskāra (Sun Salutation) practice, integrating physical postures, cakra concentration, and mantra. "It is said that daily morning practice of Sūrya Namaskāra makes your body and self like the sun." "While performing Sūrya Namaskāra with cakra concentration, we focus on the physical location but can also become aware of the positive qualities of each cakra." An instructor at Śrīdhara Purījī Āśrama leads a comprehensive practice, beginning with detailed alignment instructions for each posture, emphasizing safety and quality of movement. The session then layers in concentration on specific cakras (like Viśuddhi at the throat and Anāhata at the heart) during the sequence, and finally integrates the practice with the silent repetition of the twelve Sūrya mantras, chanted by a companion. The teaching covers the spiritual significance of the sun and aims to unify movement, breath, and awareness. Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia
Consciousness and Space
2:40 - 3:12 (32 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on the non-dual nature of consciousness, using the metaphor of water. "In reality, space does not expand. Because it has no limitation, nothing that can expand and contract. Similarly, that consciousness." "Eko'ham, dvitīyo nāsti. I am one. Rest is the duality." The speaker explores the oneness of Ātmā and Paramātmā, arguing that true consciousness and space are limitless and indivisible. Using analogies of a mālā's thread and the water cycle—from ocean to vapor to rain and back—they illustrate how individual souls (jīvā) appear separate but are fundamentally one. The talk references bhajans by Mahāprabhujī's disciples and concludes with reflections on destiny, karma, and the spiritual path of Kriyā. Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

Swami Samyagdam shares guidance for yoga teachers, emphasizing the solemn duty to faithfully transmit the system's teachings without alteration.

The Nāḍīs, Cakras, and the Mūlādhāra Foundation
4:15 - 5:12 (57 min)
Recorded on
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. Filming location: Umag, Croatia
Tratak and Tilak
4:30 - 5:32 (62 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on the practices of trāṭak (concentrated gazing) and wearing a tilak (forehead mark). "Trāṭak means we gaze on one object. You can look at a tree or a stone, at a star, at the moon, and at the very moment of sunrise—just for a few seconds we can gaze towards the sun." "If you put the Tilak here, it is a symbol of wisdom, the light... it is constantly balancing both our hemispheres. It is our balance of the Iḍā and Piṅgalā." The speaker explains the spiritual significance and techniques of trāṭak, warning of its power and the need for a teacher's guidance. He connects the practice to the tilak, describing it as a symbol of wisdom and a tool for balancing the body's energies. The talk weaves in analogies about sunrise and sunset, references to Sanātana Dharma, and a cautionary story about the siddha Devpurījī to illustrate the potential of focused gaze.

The Master key
10:20 - 11:36 (76 min)

A satsang reflecting on learning, concentration, and the student-teacher relationship. "Tons of theory cannot be compared with a gram of practice." "To know how, we have everything, but we have an accident here of our spine... you have to get that inner key from the master." The lecturer addresses attendees after a week of practice and philosophical talks. He questions how much they retained from the lectures, leading to a discussion on the limits of intellectual understanding versus experiential learning. Using stories, analogies like "honey on the elbow," and the parable of a master key in a stone gate, he emphasizes that true knowledge comes from a guru's direct transmission and dedicated practice, not merely scholarly theory.

Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on the value of singular focus and devotion to the guru. "If we have, and all of us have, a lot of pictures, we are something like these ten-year-old little guys who try to collect all Pokémons. Our mantra is 'Collect all.'" "Therefore, it is said: 'Dhyāna mūlaṁ guru mūrtiḥ, pūjā mūlaṁ guru padam, mantra mūlaṁ guru vākyaṁ, mokṣa mūlaṁ guru kṛpā.'" The speaker, Swami Vivek Puri, shares reflections from a satsang, emphasizing the spiritual power of focusing on one mantra and one form of the guru. He argues that collecting too many spiritual images dilutes their value and hinders clear visualization at critical moments like death. The talk expands into the profound reverence for the guru's feet (caraṇāmṛta), illustrated with stories from the tradition and the recent awarding of the Yoga Ratna to Vishva Guruji in London.

Best place for learning is at the feet of Gurudev. The relation between Atma, Jivatma and Jiva. You will get the light again when Jiva goes again into the heart.
