Swara Yoga
0:25 - 1:02 (37 min)
Svara Yoga is a profound practice aligning breath with life's rhythms. For the sincere practitioner, it is a simple sadhana, yet difficult for the mere trier. This discipline reveals indications of past, present, and future. It involves understanding the flow of the Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna nadis. Daily actions—rising, stepping, eating, drinking—should harmonize with the active nostril. This alignment dispels anxiety and brings clarity. The moon's phases hold significance, connected to emotion and water. Practice cultivates automatic awareness, prolonging health and happiness. It requires sustained dedication, not short-term effort.
"Svara Yoga gives indications about your whole life. It provides information about your past, what is happening in the present, and offers indications for the future."
"Eat when the right nostril is flowing... When you drink water, let the left nostril flow."

Pranayama and the five bodies
1:10 - 2:01 (51 min)
Health is founded on proper yoga practice, not mere postures. Yoga in Daily Life is a scientific system for physical, mental, social, and spiritual health. Many have been cured of disease through correct sādhanā. The most foolish approach is to begin with strenuous postures alone; health must be cultivated naturally. The body is sustained by five elements and composed of five sheaths. The first sheath is the physical body, nourished by food. The second is the energy body, sustained by fresh air and fresh, vital food. Dead, reheated food lacks prāṇa and creates illness. The third sheath is the mind, which cannot be killed because desire cannot be killed. Hope and longing are also immortal. Running after desires is like chasing a mirage; it destroys life. What is destined will come without frantic pursuit. Practice should be purposeful. Prāṇāyāma is more powerful than āsanas, but one must know which technique is for which benefit.
"The first happiness is a healthy body."
"Your mind will never die. Your desire will not die, and your mind also will not die."

The path of happiness
2:00 - 2:53 (53 min)
The soul's journey is defined by two paths: upliftment and downfall. Time is a human construct irrelevant to spiritual progress. The physical body, a temporary vessel of five elements, houses the soul for its development. External help for inner problems is limited. Happiness derived from others is fleeting. True, lasting happiness and self-realization must be cultivated from within. The two fundamental principles are utthāna, leading to development and achievement, and patan, leading to distraction and unhappiness. These divergent paths stem from a single origin, like two leaves from one seed. While past karma and destiny are powerful forces, they can be influenced. Association with good company and spiritual practice can redirect one's path toward upliftment. A true guide can help alter one's destined course. Ultimately, the company one keeps determines one's color; good association leads toward the divine, while bad association leads toward degradation.
"Your master cannot give you self-realization from outside. He’s giving you some ideas, some techniques, some good words, or it can turn yourself to that path which will lead you to your destination."
"If you go and control thyself, and you go within, inner, then you can change your destiny."

The Silent Revolution: Yoga as the Antidote to Mind Pollution and Failed Leadership
3:00 - 3:23 (23 min)
We need a silent revolution in leadership and consciousness. Old models have failed, creating crisis. Leaders are overwhelmed, lack self-awareness, and cannot inspire, leaving people disengaged. The solution is changing leaders. We are entering a cognitive age where mind care is paramount. Control your thoughts, for they become your destiny. Media exaggerates violence; data shows heart disease and cancer are far greater threats. The real danger is mind pollution—the poisoning of our minds. Yoga is for non-violence and peace. It is a systematic science for mastering the mind and achieving inner peace. A peaceful society guarantees the right to self-realization. Yoga accelerates human growth and is vital for well-being and social harmony. We must go public, integrate yoga into all education and leadership training, and promote it globally.
"Control your thoughts, for they trigger your emotions and feelings. Control your emotions, for they become your words."
"Yoga is a systematic, conscious science of human development. Its main technique is gaining mastery over the mind, stopping the internal dialogue."

Prana and Soul
3:30 - 4:06 (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."
"The first happiness or first wealth is good health."

The Divine Lineage of Alakpurījī: Saints, Siddhas, and the Eternal Guru
4:10 - 4:40 (30 min)
The divine lineage flows from the Himalayan Siddha Pīṭha of Alakpurījī. This holy place in the high valleys near Badrināth is where Alaknandā and another river meet. Great beings incarnate in every yuga to protect dharma and liberate souls. These are the Nityāvatāra, the eternal gurus embodying the creator, sustainer, and dissolver principles. They often move hidden in the world. A seeker named Devapurījī received Alakpurījī's light and blessings, gaining great siddhis. He later bestowed this light upon Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, an incarnation of Viṣṇu. Mahāprabhujī's dear disciple was Śrī Svāmī Madhavānandapurījī, whose divine birth we commemorate. The path requires complete surrender, not a desire for quick miracles. When God calls, one must be ready to go.
"O Arjuna, from time to time I incarnate in every yuga to protect the dharma, to liberate all the pure souls."
"Guru Brahma, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Para Brahma, Tasmai Śrī Guruve Namaha."

Thinking of Gurudev
4:45 - 5:08 (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."

The Awakening of Consciousness: Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras
5:15 - 7:09 (114 min)
The science of yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness. Yoga is the eternal balancing principle in the universe, not a religion or dogma. The cosmic vibration, declared as OM, exists within and outside us. Human life is a precious chance within the cycle of rebirth. The human intellect can be trained endlessly, and dormant abilities within are connected to the cakras, or energy centers. The subtle body has 72,000 nāḍīs, or channels, for transmitting consciousness and energy. The mind functions between the subconscious and conscious, taking in impressions that become desires. The intellect's duty is to give judgment. We normally experience three levels of consciousness: waking, dream, and deep sleep. Past deeds create our destiny, or prārabdha karma. The Kuṇḍalinī energy and the cakra system are responsible for developing consciousness and freeing it from subconscious fears. The major nāḍīs are Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā, balancing emotion and intellect. Haṭha Yoga unites these sympathetic and parasympathetic principles. The awakening of Kuṇḍalinī is a divine process of becoming wise and calm, not a physical sensation. The cakras are located along the spinal column and are psychic energy centers. They are connected to the five elements and influence the body. Mastery leads towards liberation, the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness. This requires lifelong practice and guidance.
"Yoga is not a religion, it is not a philosophy, it is not a dogma, but it is the eternal principle in this universe."
"The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī is a divine process; you don't feel it as a physical sensation. You feel happy, as if in the lap of the mother."

The Essence of Prasāda
7:15 - 7:45 (30 min)
Prasāda is divine essence, not mere substance. It signifies purity and sanctity, carrying spiritual energy. Anything sanctified becomes prasāda, from food to cloth. Its power lies in quality, not quantity. Consuming prasāda immediately influences the mind with sāttvic thoughts. Students should take prasāda before studies for success. The tilak applied on the forehead is a ceremony opening the third eye, representing the three times and realms. It marks respect and kingship. Rice, as an ancient grain, and milk, representing purity, are key symbols in prasāda. A blessing from elders is also prasāda. Food must be cooked as prasāda, with mindful preparation and mantras. Prasāda is a superpower that grants protection and removes fear. It must be respected and never wasted. All offerings are ultimately to Brahman, the complete source from which everything arises.
"Prasāda is not measured in kilos; it can be a quarter of a single grain of rice. It is not about quantity but quality."
"When you eat prasāda, nothing bad will happen. It will give you better memory, and you will have no fear."

Developing human qualities
7:50 - 8:47 (57 min)
Human life is distinguished by its understanding of dharma, karma, pāpa, and puṇya. Animals live by survival, but humans are given rules and the capacity to discern sin from piety. Karma is action, specific to human understanding. Pāpa, or sin, is not removed by brief rituals or holy water; it is deep within our existence and requires sustained practice. Puṇya comes from good actions that cause no pain to others. We must cultivate positive energy through kindness and mercy. Our associations matter: satsaṅga elevates, while kusaṅga spreads negativity like a disease. Modern life brings pollution and negative karma that manifest as illness. Human duty is to protect life, not destroy it, beginning with a sāttvic diet. We must purify all five layers of our being through awareness and righteous living.
"Thou shalt not kill. He did not say whom you should not kill."
"If you cannot help, do not destroy. If you cannot forgive, do not take the reactions."

Resonance is God
10:00 - 10:56 (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."
"Sound is sound, but which kind of sound? How does it appear? So from here, you still have control of the heart, and you still have control of the vocal cords."

Yoga brings balance between space and consciousness
17:05 - 17:54 (49 min)
The spiritual path is a rare journey from primordial void to pure consciousness. We exist in Kali Yuga, a dark age of sin and conflict, yet protected by unseen sages from Satyayuga, the age of truth. Spirituality is not ritual but crystalline purity without duality or negative thought. From the void (śūnyākāśa) arose a singular vibration—"I am one, I will multiply"—initiating creation. Human life is a precious chance among 8.4 million life forms. However, the human condition inherently accumulates karma like dust. True aspirants must purify continuously, as even a spot of criticism defiles the consciousness. The goal is to become desireless and awake, harmonizing consciousness and space. This awakening is not personal but universal and endless.
"Holy are they who will swallow this negative life, words, or subject, and it purifies—like you put your laundry in the washing machine."
"Spirituality means purity, pure, crystal clear. There is not any spot of darkness or gray."

How a hatha yogi can reach the aim of yoga
19:40 - 20:18 (38 min)
Yoga is the singular union of the individual soul with the Supreme. It is Ādi Anādi, beginningless and endless. The eternal space contains consciousness, called cetan. Yoga is the harmonizing, balancing, and uniting of these principles into oneness. This union is between Jīvātmā, the individual soul, and Paramātmā, the Supreme Soul. The purpose of all yoga paths is to achieve this. Haṭha Yoga requires strict discipline, Kāyā Sādhana, to balance the body and mind. A true Haṭha Yogī forges their own path like a lion, not following the common road. They require purification, as energy transfers between people like an infection, disrupting meditation and clarity. The yogī must protect their energy and not change their determined course, even against opposing winds. Achieving this balance leads to liberation.
"Yoga means the balance. Harmonizing, balancing, and uniting."
"A Haṭha yogī doesn't walk only on that. It will make its own practice on sādhanā."
