Utilizing the Vajra Nadi
0:05 - 1:00 (55 min)
Recorded on
The Vajra Nāḍī is the strong trunk needed to balance the three primary energy channels. Our systems are in chaos because people change authentic names and teachings, leading everyone astray. Āyurveda is the best but is now untrustworthy due to conflicting advice. Yoga is similarly confused; even the Bhagavad Gītā's 18 Yogas are ignored. Sanskrit and reality are unchangeable, like a poem. Our body has sections: divine above, human and animal in the middle, and vegetative below. The Vajra Nāḍī, meaning iron-strong, is the foundational support. It is located between the big and second toes, connecting to the navel. Balance in the navel is essential; an imbalanced pulse indicates physical issues and blocks spiritual progress. A simple leg-stretching technique can correct this. Without this balance, practices like prāṇāyāma will not awaken the kuṇḍalinī. "Āyurveda is the best, but don't trust it blindly because everyone gives different instructions and medicines." "Unless your navel is in balance, you can do all your Kriya yogas, and nothing will happen." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand
Keep your energies pure
1:05 - 1:55 (50 min)
Recorded on
This seminar is for purifying energy and retreating the body. Modern life fills us with stress and impure energies from electronics, pollution, and others. We must cleanse these through our practice. Maintain physical space from others to avoid exchanging foreign energies. Use natural materials like kuśa grass or pure cotton on your yoga mat; plastic mats block and distort energy. Wear full, cotton clothing during practice to protect your energy field. Do not force the body; adapt yoga for all ages. Practice prāṇāyāma to clear pollutants. This purification is essential for spiritual progress and overcoming obstacles. "Darkness cannot come towards light. But if this light is out, then darkness is celebrating." "Your body should be covered. What happens is that you are recharging what is called biofeed energy." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

A Welcome Address on Peace and Yoga
2:10 - 2:17 (7 min)
Recorded on
Peace is humanity's deepest longing, achieved through inner transformation. Outer circumstances reflect our inner state; greed, jealousy, and hate destroy peace. We must be the change we wish to see, serving as examples. True peace harmonizes us physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually. Yoga provides a practical path, developing inner peace through spiritual techniques. This inner peace then reflects outward into our families and the world through our words and actions. The teachings and lineage of our spiritual masters guide this work of selfless service and universal unity, inspiring efforts for global harmony. "Be the change you want to see." "One and all, and all in one." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
How universe reflects in the human body
2:25 - 3:46 (81 min)
Recorded on
Health arises from grounding the body's energy through the feet. The foot soles contain vital chakras connected to glands and nerves. Rubbing them activates energy. Walking barefoot on earth or on a bed of gravel at home draws direct energy from the planet, benefiting the entire body, especially the thyroid and heart. This earth chakra is the foundation. Above it are vegetation chakras from the ankles to the knees, and then animal chakras to the hips. These centers connect to the classical chakras like Viśuddhi and Anāhata. The elements and the sound 'Oṃ' emanate from the supreme resonance, Śiva, the source of all creation. Health depends on proper nourishment and spices, not just physical exercise. The soul is one, beyond gender. "Rub from the top of the toes to the heel." "Walk on this gravel in your own room... What will happen is unbelievable." Filming location: Garrison, NY, USA
Hatha Yoga is in every kind of Yoga
3:50 - 4:13 (23 min)
Recorded on
Haṭha Yoga is the essential, foundational path encompassing all others. You cannot proceed without Haṭha Yoga. Bhakti Yoga is also Haṭha Yoga inside, for you must maintain unwavering devotion despite emotional waves. Most devotion is selfish and unstable, rising and falling with desires. True devotion must grow constantly, like an airplane ascending smoothly from the runway. It is a test of purity and constancy. The story of the crow and swan illustrates this: the noisy, changeable crow represents fickle devotion, while the silent, soaring swan represents steady ascent. Real devotion requires a pure heart and readiness to surrender completely. The tale of the young girl Karmabai demonstrates this forceful love: she insisted the deity eat her offering, and through her unwavering conviction, it did. Karma Yoga is similarly challenging. Thus, all paths are included within Haṭha Yoga. "Bhakti yoga cannot be successful without haṭha yoga. And then it must be what we call the real devotion." "God needs that kind of love... it is the love that is the oneness." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Pranayama and Kundalini
6:25 - 7:37 (72 min)
Recorded on
A guide to post-meal practice and the subtle body. Sit comfortably after eating, ideally in Vajrāsana, to aid digestion. Relax the entire body systematically from fingers to toes, feeling the connection through the Vajranāḍī. Warm the palms and place them over the ears to feel resonance, then perform gentle neck and head movements to relax the stomach and aid the nervous system. Purification of the primary nāḍīs is essential for health. The three main channels are Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and the central Suṣumnā. Blockages in Iḍā or Piṅgalā can lead to physical imbalances. Practice nāḍī śodhana prāṇāyāma to purify these channels. Balance is crucial; practice both sides equally. Advanced techniques involve breath retention, but beginners must avoid this to prevent strain. These practices support the subtle body—the mental and energetic sheaths—leading towards clarity and freedom from the physical confines. "Relax your stomach. Feel relaxed your intestines. This is the best for our body and our constitution." "If these two nāḍīs, nerves, are purified, which you did today, was one of the best you could do for your brain."

Searching for Brahmaloka
7:45 - 9:04 (79 min)
Recorded on
The eternal sacrifice for dharma manifests across all ages. In every yuga, divine and demonic forces engage in perpetual struggle. The crucifixion of Jesus represents one such sacrifice, not an isolated event but part of a timeless pattern where beings offer themselves for universal well-being. This battle is like cultivating a field where weeds grow stronger than the planted crops, requiring constant vigilance. Heaven or Svargaloka is a temporary realm for those with good karma, not final liberation. True dedication requires free will and selflessness, exemplified by the sage Dadhichi who donated his bones while alive to forge a weapon against evil. Spiritual practice, like a well-trodden path, must be consistent to prevent the weeds of karma from regrowing. Success depends not on intellectual knowledge but on obedience to the master and the continuous repetition of divine names amidst daily work. "Whenever the dharma is getting humiliated and adharma is growing, I come to destroy adharma and to establish the dharma again." "Take all my bones, and each and every bone I donate."

Development and Chakras
8:50 - 10:04 (74 min)
Recorded on
The classical temple dance Bharata Nāṭyam is a 5,000-year-old symbolic language of art, spirituality, and yoga. Each movement and rhythm is mathematically precise, conveying that a higher power exists beyond the material world. Its essence combines expression, melody, rhythm, and dance to communicate eternal truths. The mind, governed by the moon, is connected to emotion and the svādhiṣṭhāna chakra. This chakra's six petals, like greed and anger, affect the individual. Their influence rises to the ājñā chakra, the seat of intellect and discernment. One must purify these energies. Worldly possessions create slavery; true wealth is spiritual knowledge, which must be shared. A story illustrates misunderstanding spiritual instruction. A father's testament gave wise advice for living, but the son interpreted it literally, wasting his inheritance. The true treasure was hidden, revealed only by correctly understanding the guidance. The key is within. The ājñā chakra is the command center. Its essence is represented by the bīja mantra Oṁ and the sounds ha and ṭha, forming Haṭha Yoga, which awakens inner wisdom. "Indian dance is a symbolic language. It elucidates through metaphor that there is not only a material world, but also a higher power." "Ājñā means order, the boss. And there are two bīja mantras... Oṁ... and the other bīja mantra is ha and ṭha in the cakra... Together it becomes yoga, so Haṭha Yoga." Filming location: USA

How could Tulsidas see Rama?
11:10 - 12:18 (68 min)
Recorded on
The soul is caught in the mortal body, a condition shared by all creatures, yet humans possess unique knowledge. The fundamental inquiry is into the nature of the Ātmā, which is presumed to be within but remains unseen. Many believe existence ends with the body, while others hold beliefs of heaven, hell, or merging with God. Theory is insufficient; personal experiential practice is essential. The story of the bandit Vālmīki illustrates that even the most burdened soul can be liberated through single-pointed devotion and mantra repetition, transforming into a great sage. The human body is a divine temple, a Garbhagṛha where the soul resides, and must be respected and kept pure. One must persist in practice with devotion and alertness to realize the truth within. "Neither this side nor that side, but it is there. It is there where you are, so you have to experience the practice and see for yourself personally." "In every temple is your statue, but I cannot see your face, my Lord. Oh my Lord, you are living in every heart. But I want to see you." Filming location: Slovakia
The completness of our being
12:25 - 13:36 (71 min)
Recorded on
The eternal journey of the soul is understood through the body. The body is a house where God speaks. Every creature operates by this divine intelligence, evident in the coordinated flight of birds or movement of fish. The soul occupies this body, which is like a chariot pulled by ten horses—the five senses of perception and five of action—controlled by the mind. To understand the soul, first understand and purify the body. Control hunger and thirst. Purify emotions like jealousy, which attack the body. Yoga and prāṇāyāma are sciences for this purification, not acrobatics. Āyurveda is the knowledge of life-giving nourishment. Our actions, or karma, generate reactions, causing the soul to journey through various realms. This journey is like a blind person circling a hall, missing the door to liberation due to desires. The soul takes different forms based on karma. Human life is a rare chance to end this cycle through purification and right understanding. "Jisme Nārāyaṇa Bole, Par Guru Binā Bheda Kaun Kholē." "The body does not die. Only space in the space, air in the air, water in the water, earth in the earth." Filming location: London, UK
Kundalini, chakras, and consciousness
13:40 - 14:41 (61 min)
Recorded on
We explore the soul, chakras, and the oneness of consciousness. Every creature has chakras and an effect on nature. Our skin is a vital protective layer connected to these energy centers. Misusing chemicals on our skin or harming animals creates negative karmic effects. The individual soul, or jīva, is like a drop of water. All drops originate from and return to the one ocean, which is the universal soul or paramātmā. Our bodies are mostly water, circulating like rivers seeking the ocean. The chakras are round energy centers, like the symbol of the sun. All major religions point to the same divine principle, often expressed through sacred sound like Oṃ. Our nervous system contains thousands of channels connecting these centers. Kundalini awakening is the conscious vibration of energy through every gland in the body, not a physical ascent. You already possess this divine consciousness. Realization comes from understanding you are part of the one ocean, not a separate drop. "All this living jīva is only one. We are all one, but we are separated." "Everything begins with sound. In the beginning, there was sound." Filming location: Garrison, NY, USA
You Live Within Me
14:45 - 14:59 (14 min)
Recorded on
The true person is a flute through which the divine sound flows. A guru persistently repeats a teaching for decades, indicating its profound truth. The Latin root of 'person' means 'to sound through,' like a flute that does not make the sound but lets it pass. One must become such an instrument, allowing God to flow through without personal agency. Inspiration arises from unexpected and mundane circumstances, like a stuck tractor tire, not from preconceived spiritual activities. We are asked to send prayers for a sick friend. Spiritual work often involves tasks beyond one's normal expectations. "a person is actually someone who doesn't make a sound, but the sound is just going through." "you just never know where the inspiration, or when the inspiration, is going to come." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The ancient science of Yoga
15:50 - 17:04 (74 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness for human well-being. Humans uniquely possess self-awareness and the capacity for both good and bad. We have the freedom to choose our path. To know ourselves is the goal. Ancient scriptures describe creation emerging from a primordial resonance. The human body is a network of 72,000 nerves and energy centers called cakras. These range from basic physical centers in the feet to divine centers in the head. Purifying these through practices like prāṇāyāma balances the body and mind. Kuṇḍalinī is the latent spiritual energy at the base of the spine. Awakening it is a profound science. Yoga offers practical techniques for health and self-realization. It requires daily dedication, but the benefits are immense. "Do you believe in me? My son, then release your hands." "Yoga is the best for your life. You can do it for your health, for concentration, for some diseases, for happiness—many things." Filming location: Gold Coast, Australia
Purify your body from poison
17:10 - 18:24 (74 min)
Recorded on
Our subject is the Kuṇḍalinī, the chakras, and human life. Happiness is within ourselves. Unhappiness comes from outside, from disappointment, but it also resides within. Like a shadow, death walks beside us always. Unspoken grievances become a poison stored in the body, specifically in the Viśuddhi chakra. A couple suffered for fifty years because she never told him she wanted the hard crust of the bread. Swallowing negative words creates this poison, affecting health. The mythological poison from churning the ocean was drunk and held by Śiva in his throat. Similarly, we must purify our inner poison through communication, forgiveness, and practice. Do not blame others. Speak humbly: say you are sorry and ask for forgiveness. Practice prāṇāyāma, like Ujjāyī, to cleanse this energy. What we eat creates impurities; a vegetarian diet is purer. Swallowed negativity can manifest as illness. Purify your consciousness through sādhanā, prayer, and mantra. Release negativity and proceed on a positive path. "Unhappiness and happiness are within ourselves also. But if we use yoga, then this unhappiness will, all the time, be pushed down." "Viś means poison. Viśuddhi means purification. How to purify this poison of our negative thinking, negative hearing, that all this is unhappiness and everything is within us." Filming location: Garrison, NY, USA
Keep your spirituality
18:30 - 19:19 (49 min)
Recorded on
Time's passage is inevitable, and the continuity of life proceeds regardless of human effort. The sunset symbolizes this natural progression into age and reflection. Youth is preoccupied with action, while age brings contemplation of legacy and what slips away. Society often dismisses the elderly, yet true value lies not in appearance but in accumulated wisdom. Gray hair signifies hard-earned insight, not something to disguise. The essential support in life's dusk is spiritual light and lineage, not worldly achievements. Having children continues a lineage of dignity, but its quality depends on spiritual purity, not mere birth. True continuity is found in authentic spiritual practice and association, not in crowds or mixed intentions. "Let your reality come. In white or gray hair is the wisdom, my dear." "No matter how strong you are or how much you practice, when that Kuśaṅga is in you, your body and everything will be destroyed." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
