The Viśuddhi Cakra and the Journey of Consciousness
0:20 - 1:06 (46 min)
Recorded on
The Viśuddhi Cakra is a center of energy affecting body, mind, and consciousness. Action and reaction form karma, binding beings in a cycle. Energy centers begin from the earth, a living planet. The highest reality is space, consciousness, and resonance—the one manifesting as all creation. Beings are cells of that universal body. Advanced yogis navigate consciousness through a tunnel-like path along the spinal column, where dormant powers reside. These yogis can access different levels of awareness and worlds. Samādhi is the highest consciousness, with and without seed. Practice requires singular focus to avoid becoming lost. Karma is individual; a story illustrates how devotion can purify past actions. Awakening the chakras' power fulfills wishes. "Ekohaṁ bahuśyāmī. I am only one... I am going to manifest into many, many creatures." "Manvā dhire dhire chal, gagana garā imānvā dhire dhire chāl... Oh my mind, go slowly, slowly towards the home in the sky." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

Practice and try to purify your karma
2:05 - 2:55 (50 min)
Recorded on
Spiritual practice requires vigilance and faith to remain uncorrupted. Some individuals spread negativity like infection, causing others to fall from wisdom. Stay close to the Guru's shelter for protection, as some grains avoid being ground by staying near the mill's central pillar. Do not carry the burdens of others; those who create trouble for others bear their own karma. Your duty persists regardless of hour. Share the pure teachings without manipulation, as the fruit reveals the quality of the tree. Practice diligently and purify your own karma.

Hatha Yoga is in every kind of Yoga
3:35 - 3:58 (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
All is the creation of God
4:05 - 5:07 (62 min)
Recorded on
The culture of reverence sees divinity in all creation, making every day a sacred festival. Ancient India was a vast land with one original tradition. Its culture is rooted in nature, venerating the moon, sun, stars, animals, and elements like water and earth. The five elements—space, air, fire, water, earth—are the Pañcadevatā, five goddesses that sustain life. Disrespecting them brings illness. Our body and the world are made of these. We possess ten indriyas: five for knowledge and five for action. As we age, our capacity for action weakens, but our capacity for knowledge can grow. True wisdom balances intellectual knowledge with spiritual heart. A story illustrates this: a scientist mocks a meditator, questioning God's design of large fruit on small vines. A small berry falls on the scientist's head, and the yogi notes that if a large melon fell, it would be fatal, revealing a divine wisdom beyond dry intellect. Therefore, every day is a day of worship, a Guru Pūrṇimā, where we recognize the divine in everything. "Every day is a new day. Every day, someone has a birthday. And every day of the month has a particular event or festival." "Every day is a Guru Pūrṇimā... every day is the Dīvālī. Every seven days is a festival." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
The evolution of the Universe
6:40 - 7:31 (51 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the ancient science of body, mind, and soul, originating from the very beginning of endless cosmic cycles. It stems from the interplay between universal consciousness and space. The creator, Śiva, manifested from the primordial sound, or resonance, which holds the universe together. This resonance is in every cell, creating harmony. Yoga is not merely physical exercise but the pursuit of health, balance, and oneness. The human body is a microcosm of five elements and contains energy centers, or chakras, along subtle nerves. Our awareness and practices like prāṇāyāma, postures, and chanting purify these energies, address ailments from stored emotions, and align us with the cosmic dance of creation and dissolution, leading toward liberation. "Yoga is not just that physical exercise. We call it yoga because it must bring good health, balance, harmony, and oneness of body, mind, and soul." "From the end of the spinal column is the seat of Śiva and Gaṇeśa. Gaṇeśa is in the Mūlādhāra Cakra. Mūla means roots." Filming location: USA

Tree planting in Auckland
9:00 - 9:29 (29 min)
Recorded on
A community gathers to plant a tree for peace following a national tragedy. This beach was a replacement for one lost to development decades prior. The planting is a symbol of peace and unity, directly responding to a recent shooting in Christchurch. Representatives from many nations express honor at participating. They emphasize that the tree represents a global wish for peace, harmony, and the fulfillment of prayers. The act is a practical step toward protecting humanity and the environment. The tree is blessed as a living being essential for life and a focal point for meditation. It is dedicated to the victims of the violence, with prayers that such events never recur. The ceremony concludes with collective prayers and blessings for peace. "This tree is for the peace of the whole world." "We are humans and we are all one." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

Meditation is the key
10:00 - 10:59 (59 min)
Recorded on
Wellness is the harmonious balance of body, mind, and soul. Vāstu Śāstra aligns our environment with cosmic energy for harmony. Our being is composed of five layers, or kośas: the physical body of nourishment, the energy body, the mental body, the intellectual body, and the bliss body. The mind is a reflection of immense speed and power that cannot be controlled or killed; desire persists from cradle to grave. Yoga is the scientific practice to awaken awareness and achieve this balance. It requires daily morning practice in a small space with fresh air. Sound and vibration are foundational; our body is created from cosmic resonance. Specific sounds like "A," "U," and "M" correspond to energy centers, or chakras, and can release tension, heal glands like the thyroid, and purify the nervous system. Chanting "OM" integrates the five bodies and clears stress by directing vibration to the brain. "Your mind cannot be killed because your desire is still there."

The attributes of the Guru
12:15 - 13:14 (59 min)
Recorded on
The true Guru is the principle of knowledge that dispels ignorance. The name Sanjeevani signifies a prayer for success. We begin by invoking Śrī Gaṇeśa, the remover of obstacles and protector. The Guru is defined by the mantra: Guru is Brahmā the creator, Viṣṇu the protector, and Śiva the liberator. "Gu" means darkness, "ru" means light; the Guru leads from darkness to light. This is not a physical form but the capacity for mastery, like a pilot or surgeon whose knowledge transforms their function. One must pray for the divine to speak through them as an instrument. The Guru creates knowledge within, protects from negativity, and liberates. Follow the Guru's instructions as a student pilot follows a co-pilot. Liberation ends the cycle of birth and death, determined by karma. The soul's destination is shaped by actions. The Guru is the embodiment of knowledge alone, beyond duality, like the sky. All beings seek the same bliss. The true Self within is the Guru; one must awaken to this knowledge. "Guru Brahma, Guru Viṣṇu, Gurudevo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ." "Brahmānandaṁ parama-sukhadam kevalaṁ jñāna-mūrtim, Dvandvātītaṁ gagana-sadṛśyaṁ tattvamasyādi-lakṣyam." Filming location: Alexandria, USA
What is God?
13:20 - 14:18 (58 min)
Recorded on
The divine is perceived as both formless and with form. The formless God, Nirākāra, is like the horizon or sky—everywhere yet unreachable. The personal God, Sākāra, has a form we can relate to, speak with, and worship. Scripture states both are valid, but for humanity, worship with form is easier as it allows for relationship and dialogue. Our human nature encompasses both aspects. We are advised to use our divine potential through proper practice, as our latent powers can lead us toward divinity or negativity. How we speak and act directly impacts our spiritual and physical well-being, as our energy flows through subtle centers. We must choose a path that awakens our higher consciousness. "both are good, Nirākāra and Sākāra, the formless and with form. But he said, for you... it is easier to worship in form." "you have a chance of being a human... you are divine, you are godly, but all is dormant." Filming location: USA

The spiritual lineage
14:55 - 15:56 (61 min)
Recorded on
The spiritual lineage connects devotees to an ancient source of grace. A disciple met the master as a baby and received lifelong blessings, countering predictions of a short life and lack of education or wealth. The lineage extends back seven generations through the family. The source of the teachings is the immortal master Alakpuriji, who dwells in the Himalayas. Such perfected beings exist in subtle, causal bodies beyond the material world, serving as protectors. They can be perceived by pure hearts, as seen in lights over glaciers. The path requires sacrifice of attachment to enter the divine kingdom, as demonstrated by Yudhiṣṭhira's loyalty. The goal is liberation through this spotless, indescribable grace. "Tell me when you’re ready to leave this earth to come, I’ll call you." "Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice." Filming location: USA

Follow the words of the Guru
16:50 - 17:25 (35 min)
Recorded on
The Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra is a tool for liberation from attachment and fear of death. Chant it daily, focusing awareness through the body's energy centers. It seeks a painless separation from the body, like a ripe fruit detaching from its vine. We are deeply attached to this body, acting from fear, which is a necessary protection for creation's balance. Yet, the soul leaves all pain behind at death. Our life is a transient journey, often spent earning only to spend on the body's upkeep. The stated goal is to reach the infinite, though many fear its emptiness. Spiritual practices like mantras are questioned if they do not reduce attachment. What is often sought is mere wellness, a selfish comfort equated with laziness, not the austerity of true practice. The negative qualities within us may flee from the Guru's word, but complete, permanent removal is doubted, as stories illustrate our inability to fully surrender when tested. The practice often remains superficial. "O Lord, just as a ripe melon or a cucumber separates from the vine without any suffering, so too, O Lord God, let me be liberated from this world." "But are you sure that from Guru Vakya you will forever remove these things? No, no." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Shakti is everywhere
17:30 - 18:14 (44 min)
Recorded on
The unity of Śiva and Śakti is the non-dual foundation of creation and spiritual practice. The entire world is one family under one divine source. Śiva is Svayaṃbhu, the self-manifested source from the five elements, and the author of yoga. Śakti is the universal power or energy present in all things, not a gender. Every person contains this essence. Two fundamental powers exist from creation: Daivī Śakti, the divine power of protection and love, and Āsurī Śakti, the power of ignorance, hate, and cruelty. Darkness is removed by igniting the inner light of knowledge. All dualities in the body, like the two hemispheres of the brain or the two eyes, reflect this united energy. Through consistent practice and willpower, one cultivates the divine power to heal and achieve enlightenment. "Śiva is the one who is called Svayaṃbhu. Svayaṃbhū means no one has created him—neither mother nor father." "Darkness will not go, but we just make a little light within, in no time, darkness is gone." Filming location: Slovakia
Being a human
18:20 - 18:51 (31 min)
Recorded on
Spiritual discipline guides one from ignorance to enlightenment. Human life is a rare opportunity among countless life forms. Animals possess innate discipline, but humans are given specific principles—conduct, thought, diet, and recreation—to cultivate goodness and occupy the mind positively. These rules, including fasting and observing holy days, were established by sages to prevent negative actions. Every action creates a corresponding reaction, good or bad. By following these disciplined observances, known as saṃskāras, one progresses spiritually. Without such discipline, one remains bound to the cycle of karma and rebirth. The goal is to become absorbed in the formless, eternal Brahman. "God knows everything, does He not? God knows what you will say, what you will do." "Where there is action, there will be reaction. Good action yields good reaction. Bad action yields bad reaction." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
Iyengar Yoga During Pregnancy: A Synthesis of Tradition and Experience
18:55 - 20:37 (102 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is a unified science of experience, transmitted through specific methodologies for application in life. The term "Iyengar Yoga" refers to one such tradition, emphasizing precision and the use of props to make the experience of āsanas accessible to all, regardless of condition. This approach allows for stability and comfort in any circumstance. The practice is supported by both long-term observation and formal research, which shows physiological changes, such as increased GABA levels, correlating with reduced anxiety and depression. Applying this methodology to pregnancy involves strengthening the body and mind to manage stress and physiological changes. Specific, supported āsanas can address common issues like back pain and prepare for delivery. Crucially, practice must be guided by an experienced teacher within a framework of safety, collaborating with modern medicine rather than opposing it. The same principles apply in managing conditions like cancer, where yoga practices modulate stress responses, improve immune function, and help manage treatment side effects, contributing to better quality of life. The goal is always balance and integration. "Āsanas are descriptions, not prescriptions." "Samatvaṁ yoga ucyate. Balance is yoga." Filming location: Delhi, India

The gathering welcomes distinguished guests and emphasizes the shared pursuit of knowledge through yoga, which transcends physical practice to harmonize the mortal body and immortal soul. We honor our lineage and welcome all present, including a renowned scholar of the Vedas. Human intellect is superior but requires teaching. Despite societal influences, few understand all humanity. We must concentrate on the Jīvātmā. Yoga is the supreme science for humans, extending beyond postures and breath. This work has spread globally over decades, with seeds now sprouting. The path requires selfless surrender. A seed must bury itself and forget its own life to become a tree that bears fruit for society. Our dialogue aims to elevate life through understanding karma and our true nature. "Yoga is the science for humans, not merely āsanas and prāṇāyāma, but something beyond." "Every seed has only one dream: that I should become a big tree. I should bear a lot of fruit for society." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Vegetarian kitchen in praxis (part 2)
21:05 - 22:13 (68 min)
Recorded on
Approach vegetarian cooking with freedom, focusing on flavor and digestibility. Food should be a pleasurable experience for everyone. Anxious adherence to many rules leads to joyless meals, which hinders proper digestion. True spiritual maturity is not indifference to food; the body savors taste, and enjoyment aids digestion. For soy allergies, concentrates are unnecessary as grains and legumes provide sufficient protein. Increased plant protein intake is not harmful. Regarding dairy, high consumption, especially of aged cheeses, is problematic. A small daily amount suffices for B12, which vegans can supplement. For cooking, use stable fats like palm or rapeseed oil for high heat. Frying is less harmful with antioxidant-rich plant foods. Proper legume preparation involves soaking, discarding the water to remove enzyme inhibitors, and cooking with spices. Combine legumes with vegetables, not other proteins, for easier digestion. Use legume flours as thickeners and egg substitutes to enhance traditional dishes. Master the use of spices toasted in oil. Create universally enjoyable food by upgrading local cuisine with these global techniques. "Taste belongs to the body, not to the soul. If you do not enjoy your food, you will not properly digest it." "Legumes contain more protein than meat... Therefore, one should regard legumes as a piece of meat and not combine and strengthen them together with other proteins." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Sound can guide us
23:10 - 0:06 (56 min)
Recorded on
Sound and its resonance, nāda, are a profound spiritual path. Sound and color generate immense energy affecting the body. Rāga means resonance, but also implies attachment and duality. This sound is Nāda Yoga. One must understand it; otherwise, it is merely noise. An instrument is holy and must be treated with great respect, like a delicate child. A group of musicians performed complex rāgas in a village, but all the farmers left, unable to understand. Only an old grandmother remained, crying. They thought she appreciated their music, but she cried because she believed they would die from a disease that killed her goats. Understanding requires an awakened heart. That endless, anāhat resonance alone can elevate consciousness. Mastering an instrument takes years of dedicated practice; the instrument becomes your guide. One must pray to Sarasvatī, the goddess of knowledge. Your own body is the primary instrument; care for your voice and vocal cords. True understanding is rare. "Who does not understand, then it’s okay—it is some kind of noise. But who can understand? And nāda—only when your heart awakens." "Your instrument is your guide, not you being a guide of the instrument. So, learn; otherwise, don’t humiliate the instrument." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
