The origin of Yoga
0:45 - 1:52 (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.

Around the world - Practice in Ukraine
2:00 - 2:50 (50 min)
Recorded on
Begin the practice of āsanas, prāṇāyāma, and meditation. Close the eyes and attune to the practice. Scan and relax the entire body. Observe the complete yogic breath. The first āsana is Ānanda Āsana, the posture of relaxation. Lie down comfortably and consciously relax each part of the body. Physical relaxation leads to spiritual relaxation. This posture must be performed at the beginning and end of every session. Next, train in abdominal breathing by placing a hand on the abdomen and observing its movement. Conscious abdominal breathing leads to relaxation and improves circulation. Practice stretching the body by extending the limbs in rhythm with the breath. This releases accumulated tension. Perform head turns and twists while lying down to increase spinal mobility and harmonize the breath. Always observe the effect of each exercise. Move through shoulder exercises while standing to relax and strengthen the joints. Shift body weight from leg to leg to strengthen muscles and improve balance. Conclude by returning to Ānanda Āsana. Scan the body and observe the deepening relaxation. Gradually conclude the practice by moving the fingers and toes. Rise carefully, always moving from lying down through a transitional seated position. "Physical relaxation leads to spiritual relaxation."

Success in Yoga
2:55 - 4:10 (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."

Seeing the God
6:10 - 6:50 (40 min)
Recorded on
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
Follow the words of Gurudev
6:55 - 8:12 (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

The peace within you
8:45 - 10:07 (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

How to overcome the obstacles of practicing
10:15 - 11:33 (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

Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 2 - Part 1
15:00 - 16:03 (63 min)
Recorded on
The practice advances to the second level of āsanas and prāṇāyāma. Level two introduces seventeen postures, beginning and ending on the floor with standing poses in between. This level engages the real practice of āsana. Each posture follows a sequence: start from a position of concentration, move into the form, then either hold with normal breath or return. The effect is felt upon returning. Practice begins with OṂ, breathing, and relaxation. Full yoga breath combines abdominal, thoracic, and clavicular parts into a wave. Movement is then added to this breath. Āsanas include Śaśāṅkāsana, Meru Ākaraṇa Āsana, Bhūnamanā Āsana, Aśva Sanchalāsana, Utthāna Prastha Āsana, and standing poses like Hasta Uttānāsana and Akaraṇa Dhanur Āsana. Each has specific benefits and some contraindications. Practice concludes with systematic relaxation, alternate-nostril prāṇāyāma to balance energy and brain hemispheres, and OṂ chanting. "Every āsana has its starting position, in which you concentrate on the movement and the āsana you will perform." "The breathing can guide you very deep inside towards your inner self."

The duty of the human
16:10 - 16:51 (41 min)
Recorded on
The foundation of life is honoring the divine within relationships and recognizing our shared humanity. First, honor the mother, for she gives life and protection. Second, honor the father. Both parents must prioritize their child over work, or the child loses connection and respect. Humanity is one, beyond caste, color, or origin. The first worship is to the mother. If all women stand to educate children, there will be no war. Next, honor the teacher for worldly knowledge, then the ancestors, and finally the spiritual guide for soul knowledge. Humans must seek more than eating and sleeping; we must ask "Who am I?" We must love all creatures. Modern life, with its distractions like laptops, pushes the child from the parent's lap. Centers like this bring people together. Even the vegan movement points to this unity, recognizing that milk is a mother's love. Our inner space is vast. We are all one soul, like separate drops from the same water. Do not seek meditation far away; go within through the chakras and Kuṇḍalinī. "First worship is to the mother. First adoration is to the mother." "O human, if one is doing only eating, creating children, and sleeping, all creatures can do. What is our duty as humans to come?"

AUM and Chakras
16:55 - 18:00 (65 min)
Recorded on
The resonance of OM and the balance of the nāḍīs govern health and consciousness. The body is a system of 72,000 nerves, centered on three primary channels: the left, the right, and the central Suṣumṇā. The left nostril, or moon channel, governs emotion and change, influenced by lunar tides. The right nostril, or sun channel, represents steady consciousness and solar fire. Their alternating flow every 14 minutes balances the hemispheres and glands. Prāṇāyāma purifies these channels. Techniques like Nāḍī Śodhana involve alternate-nostril breathing to cleanse the nervous system indirectly through lung and blood purification, not by forcing air into nerves. Chanting OM, with its four sounds originating from the navel, creates resonance that heals internal organs. Physical practice must begin with gentle body warming to prepare the joints and circulation, not with advanced postures. Headaches are addressed through hydration and postures like forward bends to increase cranial blood flow. Breath exercises like Bhastrikā and Kapālabhāti cleanse the head and remove tension. Ultimately, these practices relax all nāḍīs, dissolve stress, and restore natural health. "The left nostril is the moon. The principle of the moon is water, and the principle of the water is emotion." "We cannot put the air in our nerves, but it goes through the purification of our lungs, our oxygen."

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

Chakras and the Kundalini
21:35 - 22:34 (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 Eternal Journey of the Soul
22:40 - 23:41 (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
