The essence of spiritual life is consistent practice within a supportive community. Our tradition's bhajans contain the complete path. True progress requires personal effort, not merely listening. Association shapes habit: spiritual company fosters spirituality, while negative influences divert you. Many attend lectures but avoid practice, which is like discussing food without eating. Practice purifies karma and sustains spiritual health, just as discipline manages physical health. Without practice, initial spiritual love fades. Maintain your personal system—physical, mental, and spiritual. Life flows like a river, governed by karma and natural principles. Ultimately, success depends on following the Guru's instruction and grace. Your practice brings your benefit; neglect brings none. "Jaisā kare saṅg, vaisā lāge raṅg. With whom you associate, you will take on that habit or color." "If you eat, your stomach will be filled. So I say to you personally: please do practice, not only in class but at home too."

Yoga is the science of being Human
1:30 - 2:02 (32 min)
Recorded on
The straight path of Kriyā requires strict discipline and rejects spiritual fantasy. Kriyā Yoga is the sure and safe path, beginning and continuing with discipline. Practitioners often start with devotion but slowly neglect the practice, confusing temporary discomfort during intense practice with a flaw in the technique. The discomfort is part of adjustment. Those who remain steadfast see fruits; those who deviate are lost. Many teach without realization, leading others astray into psychic dreams of deities and angels, which is a dangerous distraction. The human body is the divine temple, the Annamaya Kośa, and must be kept clean. True religion is realizing the relation between the individual soul and the Supreme Soul. Fanaticism, whether religious or scientific, is ignorance. World peace comes from accepting our diverse neighbors. Study the chakras sincerely; do not seek shortcuts or confuse authentic teachings with commercialized tantra. Practice Kriyā faithfully without teaching others prematurely. "Yoga begins with discipline and continues by following discipline." "Religion means the relation; realizing the relation of ātmā to Paramātmā." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Chakras and the Kundalini
2:05 - 3:04 (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
Yoga and the creation
3:10 - 4:38 (88 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness, uniting the individual with the divine. Consciousness existed before creation in empty space. From that consciousness came resonance, the primal sound Aum, which is the beginning of all creation. This resonance manifested as light and then as Śiva, the principle of pure consciousness. From this, 8.4 million life forms emerged, including humans. All beings share one consciousness, just as all water shares the same essence. The human body contains this knowledge within. The five sheaths, or kośas, are the physical body, vital energy, mind, intellect, and bliss. The mind is the most powerful force. Humans possess great potential for development, yet also face the choice between elevating or degrading their consciousness. The body has 72,000 subtle channels, with three primary ones: the lunar, solar, and central channels. Balance between the lunar and solar energies is essential for health. The cakras are energy centers from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, mapping our evolution from earthly to divine awareness. Kuṇḍalinī is the dormant spiritual energy at the base of the spine; its awakening brings clarity and joy, not physical sensations. True yoga is union, harmony, and inner peace. "Everything is within yourself. Who is yourself is also myself." "Yoga means union, uniting, harmonizing this together. It connects us to God." Filming location: Sydney, Australia

Where can we see God?
5:50 - 7:01 (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."

The peace within you
7:05 - 8:27 (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
The time for the Unity
8:35 - 8:54 (19 min)

The music for the event will be performed by TWNY Music Guild. The endless space is the symbol of the mother. There are harmony, balance and unity between the consciousness and space and that is yoga. Creation started from this point by multiplying with the sound and light.

How to overcome the obstacles of practicing
10:30 - 11:48 (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 Eternal Journey of the Soul
16:10 - 17:11 (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

Utilizing the Vajra Nadi
18:20 - 19:15 (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

AUM and Chakras
20:25 - 21:30 (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 duty of the human
21:35 - 22:16 (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?"
