Return back to happiness
0:50 - 1:42 (52 min)
Sādhana, or spiritual practice, rests on two pillars: the changeable physical practice and the permanent spiritual practice. Our physical practice must adapt to our changing age and condition. While yoga āsanas like śīrṣāsana benefit everyone by improving circulation and health, the ultimate goal is not mere longevity but a contented life. Modern life generates stress and endless desire, which destroys contentment. Accumulating possessions only multiplies sorrows. True happiness, or sukha, is found not in external things but in inner śāntoṣa, or contentment. This contentment is cultivated through steady spiritual practice, primarily mantra. Your mantra is the unwavering pillar that purifies consciousness and leads to perfection, regardless of your beliefs. Do not abandon this practice, for it protects you and brings peace. The physical practice supports the body, but the spiritual practice of mantra and devotion is the essential, unchanging path.
"Śāntoṣī nārśada sukhi, who is always content, is always happy."

God is Endless

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Simhasth Kumbha Mela in Ujjain, India. Shiva consciousness and energy is present in the whole Universe. Our being is one with Shiva like a drop of water is one with the ocean. Nothing is without Shiva.
Prana and Soul
2:20 - 2:56 (36 min)
The prāṇa is life, and its management is the art of living. Ten prāṇas function within the body, with Prāṇa and Apāna being most crucial for inhalation and expulsion. Their meeting at the navel can awaken Kuṇḍalinī. Prāṇa is the guard of the soul; if prāṇa is lost but the soul remains, medical science may restore life, but it cannot if the soul departs. Pure prāṇa ensures health, our primary wealth. Health exists across five bodily layers, starting with nourishment from food. Fresh food retains prāṇa; overcooking destroys it. Cook vegetables with spices and water in a covered pot with minimal oil or ghee. Āyurveda favors ghee over oil for internal use. Chemical medicines can save lives but cause side effects, as they are foreign to the body's nature. Our long intestines are designed to process food, but poor diet harms them. Prāṇa leads to higher consciousness. Practice Prāṇāyāma and eat consciously. Avoid junk food, which becomes foul when chewed, and avoid alcohol, a destructive drug despite its medicinal origins. Choose a balanced, yogic life for longevity and happiness.
"Prāṇa is life, and life is prāṇa. We can compare our prāṇa to our soul."

Opening Address: Yoga for World Peace and Non-Violence
3:00 - 3:07 (7 min)
Yoga is a universal principle for achieving peace, beginning with inner peace. Our organization supports this conference to promote non-violence and harmony, values shared by yoga and Hindu teachings. Personal qualities like truth, compassion, and self-control are essential for this journey. We believe all religions are equal paths to one God, and yoga serves as a balancing practice for all. This conference aims to exchange ideas on using yoga's principles to foster global peace and respectful relations among diverse peoples.
"Yoga is not a religion. It represents the original balancing principle that promotes nonviolence and peacefulness."
"To achieve peace in the world, we must start by achieving inner peace ourselves."

The Path of Yoga for Universal Peace
3:15 - 3:38 (23 min)
Yoga is the universal manual for achieving peace. It is far more than physical flexibility; it is the interconnection of body, mind, and spirit, extending from the individual to all humanity and nature. Lasting peace has not been found through material wealth or political philosophies alone. Yoga, founded on non-violence, provides the path. It is a way of life that harmonizes all faiths by directing one inward to know the self. Transforming the world begins with transforming oneself. This practice requires no money and can be started immediately. By investing in yoga education and making personal practice a priority, individuals become ambassadors of peace. The collective action of many yogis can change the world.
"Yoga is the only practice that gives peace to everyone without harm, judgment, or discrimination."
"To fix the world, you must fix your mind."

Thinking of Gurudev
3:45 - 4:08 (23 min)
Mahāsamādhi is not an absence but a change in the mode of presence. The physical form is a concentration of divine energy for easier communion. That energy is not bound by the body. The Guru's presence is activated by the devotee's call through love, prayer, and meditation. This principle operates now and will after Mahāsamādhi. The Guru incarnates due to the soul's call. Connection depends solely on the devotee's bhakti. Physical proximity is a convenience, not a necessity.
"Whenever my devotees think on me, I will be present."
"I am here because of the call of your soul."

Practicing for the animals
4:14 - 5:10 (56 min)
The Ānandamaya Kośa represents the sheath of bliss, a peak from which the soul may descend back into the mortal world or ascend to the highest freedom. When the physical body ceases, the soul departs within the subtle body; its destination is not in our hands. The elements of the body return to their sources. The soul, liberated from bodily suffering, sees all karma. Karma is action and its inevitable reaction, a cosmic law where our deeds return to us. The soul does not die. One seed produces its own kind, representing the continuity of the soul's lineage. The karma of an ancestor is not the karma of a descendant; that would be an unfair duality. Yet, a karmic heritage, like certain tendencies, can pass through generations. Achieving the highest consciousness can liberate many generations. The soul may enter any of the 8.4 million forms of life. The soul is the same in all beings, from an elephant to a bacterium, like fire is the same in a great blaze or a small match. The soul is coated by the reactions of its actions. Before acting, one must discern the desire, object, action, and potential reaction. The soul, freed from the physical body, still moves with the mental and subtle bodies, directed by its accumulated karma across the five sheaths. One can purify this karmic inheritance in this life through change in diet, way of living, and thought. Yoga is the practice of unifying and balancing these elements through comfortable, smooth movement, not mere physical contortion.
"Karma means our action. Where there is action, there will be a reaction."
"The soul is the same. How? We cannot see it."

Practical guide to meditation (6/11)
6:30 - 7:45 (75 min)
Meditation is the practice of turning inward to answer life's fundamental questions and realize one's divine nature. Humans possess a higher purpose beyond basic animal functions. One must regularly ask: What does it mean to be human? What good qualities define humanity? What is my life's mission? Modern life often lacks this ethical education, leading to depression and aimlessness. Meditation provides answers, motivation, and a direct connection to the self. It reduces stress, recharges energy, and clarifies one's situation. The technique requires proper posture, a personal mantra, and a meditation shawl for protection and focus. By withdrawing the senses and observing the breath, one accesses inner peace and cosmic energy.
"Meditation is an answer to thyself. All thy questions, the meditation will give the answers."
"Meditation is a way to thyself, means to God. It doesn’t matter which God you believe... Only one thing remains: divine love."

Shiva and the Chakras
8:30 - 9:55 (85 min)
The master bestows the nectar of immortality, liberating one from the cycle of life and death. According to eternal law, the master takes form to revive those trapped in mortality. This gift of immortality and bliss is understood within. Without fortunate destiny, one cannot attain this connection. That link is found in human birth, granting freedom from bondage and making one liberated while still living. The true master constantly dwells without attachment, and the disciple bathes in that light daily.

Prana is balancing our being
10:00 - 11:09 (69 min)
The Viśuddhi cakra is the center of knowledge and purification. Destiny is the past karma every creature carries, but humans possess the freedom to create new karma through action. Every action generates a reaction, shaping future births. Good deeds and spiritual qualities lead to a favorable human rebirth, potentially in a spiritual family. Spirituality transcends gender; the soul is identical in all beings. The mother is revered as the first divine principle, representing space, while the father represents consciousness. Yoga is the science of uniting awareness with consciousness, balancing the elements within. The soul's inherent light can be expanded through consistent practice like meditation. The human body contains a network of 72,000 nāḍīs, with Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā being primary. Iḍā, the moon channel, governs emotion and water; Piṅgalā, the sun channel, governs consciousness and fire. Their balance is vital. The power of the human brain is immense, evident in modern technology. Negative thoughts attack the thyroid gland at the Viśuddhi; purification comes through prāṇāyāma and balanced thinking. Sarasvatī is the goddess of knowledge and speech residing in the vocal cords. Mastery in any field requires dedicated practice and respect for the source of inspiration. Continuous spiritual practice dissolves negativity, bringing inner light.
"Karma cannot forgive anyone, and time doesn't wait for anyone."
"Yoga is that science, the principle of uniting, harmonizing, and balancing."

How to get freedom
11:55 - 12:57 (62 min)
Jaya is a selfless blessing and victory over negative energy, bringing harmony and awakening the Maṇipūra Cakra through its resonant sound. We are all caught in the net of worldly illusion, prapañca, which is the endless cycle of problems and restlessness. To seek freedom, one must actively call for help, as illustrated by the person in a hole who must raise their hands while calling out. The Maṇipūra Cakra is the central energy hub, the seat of sound and the origin of our development, beginning at the navel in the womb. Its health is paramount; illness there, like cancer, is severe. Health comes from traditional knowledge: a supportive family, especially during pregnancy, and Āyurvedic cooking where food is medicine. Practices like Agniśar Kriyā and fasting protect this center. Ultimately, prāṇa and apāna meet at the Maṇipūra, awakening the Kuṇḍalinī energy for spiritual ascent.
"Jaya means victory over negative energy, and victory for spirituality, for harmony, for peace, for brightness—everything."
"The Maṇipūra Cakra is the center of our body, the center of the universe, the center of our consciousness, and our origin."

Agya Chakra
13:05 - 14:17 (72 min)
Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness, a divine blessing beyond imagination. The universe is endless space containing consciousness, united by the principle of yoga, which means balance, harmony, and unity. From the first divine wish of multiplication arose the sound Aum, from which all creation manifested as consciousness and matter. This planet, a living entity of five elements, hosts 8.4 million life forms. Humans were added as the sole creature endowed with intellect to realize the immortal Self and transcend the cycle where life consumes life. The human body, composed of the five elements, contains 72,000 energy channels and chakras. Three primary channels—Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna—govern emotion, intellect, and consciousness, meeting at the Ajna Chakra. Yoga practice, particularly through discipline and techniques like Pranayama, balances these energies, stills restless thoughts, and awakens higher consciousness. The aim is to realize the immortal Atman, which is beyond birth, death, and karma, and to awaken the inner wisdom.
"Yoga means balance, harmony, and unity. These three are the main things in the universe."

Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 2 - Part 2
16:00 - 17:11 (71 min)
The practice of Yoga in Daily Life continues systematically from Level Two, beginning with relaxation and progressing through specific āsanas and prāṇāyāma. A session starts with three Oṁ chants and deep relaxation in Ānanda Āsana, consciously releasing tension from toes to forehead. The full yoga breath is practiced, coordinating a three-part wave with movement. The āsana sequence includes Meru Pṛṣṭhāsana for spinal flexibility and energy, Catuṣpada Āsana for stretching and organ function, and Cakrāsana for posture and digestion. Each posture is performed with attention to breath, comfort, and the resulting physical and energetic effects. The practice concludes with prāṇāyāma to balance breath channels and a meditation preparation, ending with chants for peace.
"Āsana means, except for other meanings, also comfortable. So āsana should be a comfortable position."

Difficulties
18:15 - 19:07 (52 min)
The human condition is defined by a unique and pervasive fear, stemming from our intellect and desires, which separates us from other creatures and creates our suffering.
We declare ourselves the best creatures, yet we are the most fearful. Animals live without our anxieties; they do not consult astrology or design their homes. We asked God why He made humans superior, and He replied He never did—He made humans as protectors, but we have become destroyers. Our limitless desires breed endless fear. A bird will sit on a tiger but flees from a human, sensing our negative energy. We even distrust each other, relying on documents over personal vows, as in modern marriages. This fear is a form of tapas, a burning austerity. The three fires of suffering are adhibhautika (from other beings), adhidaivika (from divine forces or past karma), and adhyātmika (from within oneself). Our sins—anger, greed, pride—fuel these fires. To end them, we must disconnect from worldly attachments and connect to the Supreme. Chanting the mantra cleanses these three tapas and sins, leading to permanent, unmovable happiness. We must practice non-violence, mercy, and introspection. Read sacred texts to awaken this understanding and transform life.

Evening program with Vishwaguruji in Vancouver, Canada. Vishuddhi chakra is the highest point of the human consciousness. Lifelong practice is essential to awaken the supreme consciousness. As a human, we are very close to merging into the ocean of immortality. This ocean is Shiva, while bindu is the little drop of water. We are very rare people to go on a spiritual path.
Ganesha

Today is the incarnation of Bhagavān Śrī Gaṇeśa. Gaṇeśa is the first God to be worshipped. He is like Bholenāth, fulfilling wishes. Gaṇeśa should not be taken merely as a physical form; it has many meanings. He is the foundation, balancing everything, called Mūlādhāra. The elephant symbolizes the seven trunks representing the seven essential bodily minerals, the saptadhātu. This is a balancing principle, not just a story for children. Ancient miracles, like cloning in Śiva's time, are beyond modern science. Gaṇeśa is the god of all Gaṇas. He is half animal and half deva. He wrote the Vedas telepathically for Vyāsa. Physical forms and statues are crucial so we do not forget; culture survives through saṃskāras. Therefore, Gaṇeśa should be remembered first in prayer.

Resonance is God
21:40 - 22:36 (56 min)
The human body is a network of prāṇa, nerves, and glands, best maintained through natural harmony. An anecdote tells of women painted gold who died because their skin could not breathe; this illustrates that our entire skin breathes prāṇa. Tight clothing like jeans restricts this flow. The body has 72,000 nerves, a network where blockages cause disease. Natural treatments from Prakṛti, unlike altered chemicals, heal without side effects by becoming one with the body. Marriage symbolizes a sacred merger, a knot or gland from which new life emerges, aligning with natural cycles. Lineage and tradition preserve this purity. Sound originates from the navel; conscious speech creates positive or negative vibrations affecting our nerves and organs. Practices like Vajrāsana activate the Vajra Nāḍī, promoting digestion and energy flow by awakening awareness in the body.
"Prakṛti, the nature, is slowly, but this nature accepts our body. This will turn into our body, as our body."

Life of the Saints
22:40 - 23:33 (53 min)
The path requires grace and self-effort, and we remember the masters. Incarnations and human-born beings exist; the latter find Self-realization difficult. We worship the entire being of that supreme Ātmā. They lived through nature's conditions, yet their consciousness remained untouchable. Liberation is not achieved quickly; karma constantly follows like the breath. Final salvation may come at life's last second. A touch from the Sadguru can bring liberation in an instant, yet karmas may return with the next breath. Divine beings feel and act as we do but remain untouchable. All must navigate life's stages with desire and pride. The Guru's grace is essential for the highest knowledge. One must light the flame from another flame. Lead a normal life but care for your inner instrument. Do not hurry; work on yourself. You have received your path; proceed upon it faithfully.
