The Eternal Journey of the Soul
0:55 - 1:56 (61 min)
Recorded on
The eternal journey of the soul is the subject. The soul is not the five elements or the five sheaths: the physical body, the energy body, the mental body, the intellectual body, and the bliss body. The mind coordinates the five senses of knowledge and the five senses of action. It is a reflection of our actions, like a reflection in a mirror. Self-knowledge asks: who am I? From where did I come? Where am I going? The soul is a divine light, equal in all beings. It enters through the navel, connected to the solar plexus and the sound of the sun. The soul's residence is in the heart. One must be vigilant with karma, as a single mistake can undo a lifetime of good work. Realization requires persistent understanding, not merely intellectual knowledge. "Ko’ham—who am I? I am not these five elements." "Do not think that the elephant has a big soul and the mosquito or ant has a small soul. The soul is like a fire." Filming location: London, UK

Yoga is the science of union and self-realization. Yoga means oneness, like the union in friendship or family. Life emerges from the elements: space, water, air, fire, and earth. Among 8.4 million creatures, the human is one. We seek to know who we are. Yoga is the merging of the individual with the Supreme, the Ātmā with God. I have searched but never seen God in a form. Consciousness and space are intertwined; the space is within us and we are within space. Science reaches a point where the seeker and the searched become one—this is yoga. Our development sometimes destroys nature. Practice yoga systematically, beginning with relaxation, then movement, postures, prāṇāyāma, and meditation. In one year, you will see the change. Natural care with oils is best for the body. The chakras and 72,000 nerves channel prāṇa, leading to the highest consciousness, Śiva. "Yoga means union. Yoga means merging. Two in one." "Śiva means consciousness. Śiva is called svayaṁbhū. Svayam means self. Bhuv is that which created." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand
Chakras and the Kundalini
3:10 - 4:09 (59 min)
Recorded on
The science of yoga and the chakras is about realizing the oneness of the soul. Yoga is the harmonizing principle between consciousness and matter, originating from the supreme resonance, Nāda-Brahma. This resonance manifests as the five elements that form all life. Our individual bodies and experiences are temporary, but the soul within is singular and eternal. We often live in duality, creating mental poisons like anger and stress that manifest as physical ailments in specific energy centers, or chakras. For instance, unspoken harsh words can create tension in the Viśuddhi Chakra, affecting the thyroid. The goal is purification—transforming these poisons into nectar by recognizing our shared essence. True understanding dissolves the illusion of separation, revealing that all souls are one, just as all water is fundamentally one despite its varied forms and qualities. This realization is the awakening, not a dramatic physical sensation but an inner knowing of unity. "Brahma Satya, Jagat Mithyā. Brahma is truth; the rest is duality." "Everyone supports the strong one, and who is very weak is just gone." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand
The wisdom of Chakras
5:00 - 6:22 (82 min)
Recorded on
The mudrā of joining the index finger and thumb symbolizes the union of the individual soul and the supreme consciousness. This gesture brings peace and relieves mental restlessness. Research in European hospitals and rehabilitation centers shows it provides relief. The three remaining fingers represent the three guṇas: purity, restlessness, and inertia. One must rise above these qualities. The best meditation posture is where one feels comfortable, as liberation comes from knowledge and humility, not physical form. Daily practice should begin with positive words to set a harmonious tone, affecting the body's energy centers. Physical ailments often stem from unresolved tension and negative emotions stored in the chakras. Do not dwell on the past or worry about the future. Maintain awareness and relaxation. Anger, jealousy, and greed are obstacles that disturb the energy centers and must be released through practice and right understanding. "Lead me from unreality to reality. Lead us from darkness to light." "The past is gone. You cannot catch the past, even by riding a horse." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand
Utilizing the Vajra Nadi
6:30 - 7:25 (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

Pollution
8:55 - 9:56 (61 min)
Recorded on
The five sheaths, from the physical to the bliss body, define our being and are shaped by our nourishment. The physical sheath, annamaya kośa, is formed from food. The energy sheath, prāṇamaya kośa, arises from that nourishment. The mental, wisdom, and bliss sheaths follow sequentially. What you consume determines your energy, mind, knowledge, and ultimate state. Modern habits have corrupted this natural order, replacing pure, sāttvic nourishment with harmful substances and actions, leading to disease and mental disturbance. A pure diet creates pure energy and a serene mind, guiding one toward true happiness. The path is obstructed by base desires and endless argument, which must be surrendered through attentive listening to divine guidance. "Jaisā khāī annā, vaisā rahe man. What kind of nourishment or food you eat, like that will be your mind." "Your nourishment, your energy, then your mentality, the mind." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand
We have to become one
10:00 - 11:34 (94 min)
Recorded on
The subject is detachment and the true Self. The soul seeks to merge into oneness with the Supreme, like space containing all things. This unity is eternal but difficult, as it requires releasing all attachment. Attachment to wealth, body, and relationships creates conditions and suffering. Renunciation is challenging. One must break attachment to join with God. Nothing belongs to you—not body, thoughts, or intellect. Only the soul is eternal. When the soul departs, no one accompanies it. We must move beyond duality and concepts of "mine" to realize the true Self as boundless consciousness. This is not a mental understanding but a state of being. "I am neither the mind, intellect, nor the elements. I am that eternal blissful consciousness." "There is only one God. The duality we perceive is a human creation."

Where can we see God?
13:10 - 14:21 (71 min)
Recorded on
The divine journey seeks God within creation and the self. We profess belief yet cannot see God directly, only witnessing the supreme's creation in all entities. Humans possess intellect surpassing animals, yet still fail to understand or honor this creation, even in elements like water which is life. Self-realized masters may represent God, but the ultimate search continues within, obscured by many covers. We often disappoint the divine, as illustrated by the story of the bamboo asked to sacrifice for a greater purpose, teaching that God works to remove our ego, pride, and cruelty. Another tale of a climber demanding proof shows that trust requires surrendering control, not bargaining. True devotion means recognizing God within every creature and oneself. Practice like prāṇāyāma purifies the nervous system and balances the body's energies through the chakras, promoting health and harmony. This science of yoga advises moderation, natural living, and releasing negative emotions to maintain well-being. "God is within us. God is within us and in every creature." "If you trust in me, then leave your hands free." Filming location: Raumati Beach, New Zealand
How to overcome the obstacles of practicing
14:25 - 15:43 (78 min)
Recorded on
The chakras contain immense power we must master, requiring guidance. From Mūlādhāra to Viśuddhi, these centers mix human and animal qualities. The Svādhiṣṭhāna generates waves of passion that can sweep us away. The Kuṇḍalinī lies dormant until awakened. The three nāḍīs—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumṇā—wind left and right; when knowledge dawns, energy flows straight. A coiled snake represents the three guṇas, which pull us downward. Our desires create holes through which energy drains. The Maṇipūra Chakra is the seat of sound and fire. Viṣṇu resides in the navel, resting on the ocean of purity. Regular practice of prāṇāyāma like Bhastrikā and Kapālabhāti energizes the body from this center. Reading scriptures must move from intellect to heart. Knowledge requires daily churning and application over time. "Strive for oneness, purity, without blemish. Do not stain your body." "Our life may be ending, but we should not waste time. If we die today, let us use these minutes productively." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand
The peace within you
15:50 - 17:12 (82 min)
Recorded on
Peace begins within the individual. Outer peace is impossible without inner peace. Many seek happiness externally, but true peace arises from inner contentment. Yoga and meditation provide a path to this inner stillness. By changing oneself, one influences thousands. Peace is not passive stillness but active harmony, requiring the removal of internal conflict. Violence and ego destroy peace; non-violence and humility sustain it. True education fosters humanity, and women are pivotal in educating for peace. A peaceful society integrates physical, psychological, spiritual, and familial well-being. "Change yourself, and you change thousands." "Where there is violence, there is no peace. And where there is peace, there is no violence." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand
Follow the words of Gurudev
17:20 - 18:37 (77 min)
Recorded on
The path requires dissolving ego through genuine service to attain self-knowledge. Ego is the primary obstacle for any seeker. Without renouncing pride and anger, spiritual titles are meaningless. A story illustrates this: a learned scholar visited a sage, boasting of his knowledge of all yogas. The sage asked if he knew the yoga of service, such as cleaning a sick person's pot. The scholar had not. True service is the practical yoga that erodes ego. Another tale tells of a royal disciple whose guru dressed him finely daily, causing jealousy among other disciples. When the group encountered a filthy ditch, only this disciple lay down as a bridge for his guru to cross. The guru revealed the lesson: the finely dressed disciple did not hesitate to serve, while others worried only for their own robes. The guru's command is the sole means to liberation. "Swamiji, you gave me sannyās. You must respect my orange dress." "Yes, I respect the orange dress, not your ego." "Gurudev, I will be thine. Devotees will come and devotees will go, but I will be thine." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Success in Yoga
18:45 - 20:00 (75 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is a lifelong journey requiring correct practice and a true master, not mere temporary physical exercise. Śiva is the primordial source, the consciousness that is the entire universe. He manifested alone, then created Viṣṇu and Brahmā. All three functions—creation, protection, liberation—reside in Śiva. We are that one consciousness temporarily in bodies. Our path is determined by our choices and associations. We must follow the true master in an authentic lineage to ascend; otherwise, we are pulled down by desire and bad company. The chakras map this journey from base consciousness to liberation. "Yoga is a lifelong journey." "A real Satguru is one who has left the body; only then is he a Satguru."

The origin of Yoga
23:45 - 0:52 (67 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul. It is the ancient principle of balance between consciousness and space, which is the true yoga beyond mere exercise. Creation began from the resonance of Oṁ, manifesting light and Śiva, from whom all multiplicity arises. Life is sustained by the elemental fire of hunger, where life consumes life. Humans, distinct among 8.4 million creatures, possess intellect and are bound by karma; every action yields a reaction, perpetuating the cycle of birth and death. The purpose is to transcend this cycle through righteous action, harming none, thereby enlightening the soul to unite with the cosmic Self. For the body, practice gentle postures and breath daily to ensure health and awaken inner energy. Consistent practice is essential, as time can be allocated from one's day for this vital discipline. "Yoga is a science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul." "Every action has behind it a reaction, and when you take the reaction, it will be again an action." Filming location: Romania
