0:30 - 1:23 (53 min)
The practice of yoga and discipline aligns the practitioner with the divine. All spiritual beings become the God they worship, regardless of religion. Creatures of the dawn awaken for a higher purpose, while those active only in darkness engage in negative actions. Humans should emulate the discipline of the dawn, rising early for practice like the military, to restore balance. True yogic practice extends beyond physical postures to deeper spiritual levels. Great masters from India's lineage demonstrate profound spiritual power, performing miracles like restoring life. This land is considered divine. The current time is an opportunity to stay home with family and cultivate compassion, which is the root of all religion.
"All those who are spiritual, those who are ceremonious, they are that God which they worship."
"Dayā, dharma kā mūla hai. Pāpa mūla abhimāna."

Anahata chakra
3:30 - 4:16 (46 min)
The awakening of contentment arises from purifying the heart chakra through practical yoga techniques. All phenomena contain three principles: resonance, light, and energy. When the Anāhata Chakra becomes pure, these three unite and material perception dissolves, revealing divine consciousness and unconditional compassion. This shift liberates one from karma. The initial awakening is Param Ānanda, supreme bliss, felt as subtle joy in the body. This bliss awakens inner resonance and the light of wisdom, leading to Śāntoṣa, the wealth of contentment. With contentment, one feels no lack; all external wealth becomes like dust. Happiness is needing nothing. The inner treasure of love and wisdom is already within; you are rich. A meditation technique purifies the body and awakens this state. Practice eleven cycles of Aśvinī Mudrā, then focus on ascending and descending breath, bodily expansion and contraction, inhaling cosmic light, and exhaling toxins. Finally, hold the body motionless and coordinate breath with the heart, using the mantra OM SO HAṂ to realize your divine essence.
"When the Śāntoṣa appears in the heart, then automatically your partner will share this Śāntoṣa with you."
"You cannot buy happiness, you cannot buy love, you cannot buy wisdom. Everything is within you."

We should try to develop good quality and maintain it
4:20 - 5:09 (49 min)
Yoga is the ancient science of body, mind, and soul, given for human well-being. Its authentic postures and philosophy are detailed in ancient texts like the Śiva Saṁhitā. Modern, commercialized yoga often ignores this depth, leading to potential harm from incorrect practice. True health requires quality nourishment—organic, sattvic food—and mindful consumption, not just following tastes. Our mental health is influenced by social company and trends, which can manipulate us. Spiritual health requires rising above ambition and practicing tolerance. Key principles for life are dharma (righteousness), dhīraja (fortitude), mitra (true friendship), and commitment to one's life partner. Without mastering physical, mental, and social health, spiritual progress and real meditation are impossible. Meditation is not making selfish requests but achieving a motionless state leading to self-realization. The path involves the eight limbs: yama, niyama, āsana, prāṇāyāma, pratyāhāra, dhāraṇā, dhyāna, and samādhi. Practice is essential; theory alone is worthless. The goal is to realize the oneness of knowledge, knower, and object, which is God-realization.

Share the bread with everyone
6:20 - 7:07 (47 min)
Christmas conveys a dual message of joy and sorrow to awaken compassion. Holy incarnations appear for a purpose or remain as constant saints. God sustains all life, yet human greed corrupts this natural provision. The season reminds us of divine births, like Jesus, born into hardship to exemplify love and perseverance. Living in this complex world requires balance, like a tongue amidst teeth. True saintliness is an inner quality, not an external uniform. The path demands positive thinking toward all, without judgment, as divine figures work to show the way.
"God is feeding everyone. And what they call the food companies are now controlling, and they produce the food as they like."

Be within thyself
10:45 - 11:30 (45 min)
True meditation is found within, not in external pursuits.
External experiences are temporary, like falling leaves or pictures of food that cannot satisfy hunger. The source of lasting peace and power resides inside every person. Looking outward in meditation is like a father distracting a child with promises; the comfort is fleeting. A seeker performing many rituals found no peace until instructed to simply rest inwardly and surrender all effort. Another devotee could not see Kṛṣṇa in meditation until taught to calm the inner vision. All that is sought—God, the guru, harmony—is already present within the self. The journey requires turning the senses inward to discover the permanent source behind the temporary world.
"Go within thyself. Whatever is given from outside is given... But what is given from outside is temporary."
"Close your eyes and rest. Give it to me... Don’t think anything. Now you should know that I am in my body."

The Foundations of Consciousness: Understanding the Chakras
12:25 - 12:57 (32 min)
The chakras are borders of consciousness. Energy centers are located at the body's major joints, marking transitions between kingdoms of nature. Concentrating on the earth chakra at the feet can lead to depression and accelerated aging. The area from ankles to knees governs animal consciousness and behavior. The five human chakras remain mixed with these lower qualities. The Ājñā Chakra is the border between human and divine consciousness. Awakening it reveals the inner master, though the outer master remains essential. Confusion arises when this center is clouded by intellect and ego. Ājñā means command, granting authority over the senses and freedom from karma. The Mūlādhāra chakra is the root foundation of physical and psychic stability. Its red color symbolizes the energy of Mother Earth, blood, and Śakti. This energy is worshipped as the divine feminine. The lotus flower symbolizes pure devotion and love, remaining unstained by the world.
"Gu means darkness, and Ru means light. You enter into the light of wisdom, and you cross the border of this darkness."
"Ājñā means order. Ājñā means command. So you become the commander because you know what to do."

The Awakening of Kuṇḍalinī: A Journey to Happiness, Love, and Wisdom
13:05 - 13:33 (28 min)
The awakening of Kuṇḍalinī brings happiness, universal love, and wisdom. Our journey spans many lives as we develop individual consciousness, which is part of the cosmic Self. Yoga is the practice of reunion with that Self. Energy from the cosmos is received through rotating chakras and circulates through five bodily layers. The causal body holds two levels: transient joy and divine, everlasting bliss. The soul is a collection of karma and qualities, not the eternal Self. At self-realization, this collection dissolves. When the physical body dies, karma persists like a shadow, guiding the soul's future. Chakras must be purified through mantra and practice for a stable awakening. Without guidance, imbalanced energy causes disturbance. The term Kuṇḍalinī refers to feminine energy residing in the unconscious, with its serpentine movement through the nerves symbolizing this awakening.
"Yoga means union, and practicing yoga means reunion."
"The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means happiness, universal love, and wisdom."

We are full of the divinity
13:40 - 13:56 (16 min)
The Yoga in Daily Life program spreads widely through its intrinsic value. A key component is Sarvahitā Āsana, a set of exercises created collectively for universal benefit, suitable for all ages and capacities. This practice, alongside others like Bārikhātu Praṇām, serves as vital medicine for well-being. Consistent practice distinguishes the fit. Those engaged in jealousy and selfish gain are spiritually adrift and in peril. The community is a collective light in darkness, embodying divine grace. Focus must remain on satsaṅg, spiritual association, and divine connection, avoiding gossip and negative company.
"Sarvahitā Āsana is very great."
"You are all a light. In a dark night, even this one flame is there, and we all can walk by it."

Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 1 - Part 2
16:00 - 17:04 (64 min)
A morning yoga practice guides the body and breath toward relaxation and awareness. Begin by lying down, consciously relaxing each part of the body from the toes to the head. Observe the natural breath, then consciously deepen it into a full yogic wave moving from abdomen to chest. Coordinate simple stretches with inhalation and exhalation, feeling tension and release. Progress through poses that stretch the spine diagonally and twist it, always keeping the lower back close to the floor. Move into seated postures for flexion and extension of the spine, coordinating each movement with the breath. Conclude with deep relaxation, breath awareness, and a simple prāṇāyāma technique. "Feel your body becoming heavier with each exhalation." "Harmonize your movement with your breath." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Spirituality and Religion: The Rivers and the Ocean
17:10 - 18:17 (67 min)
The seminar's subject is spirituality and religion, aiming to develop spirituality. Ancient texts speak of one universal God. Spirituality is the ocean where all religious rivers meet. It is discovering one's self and relation to the Creator. All creation emanates from one single element, Brahman. Analyze the human body: it is controlled by the senses, the mind controls the senses, the intellect controls the mind, and the soul controls everything. The subtler an element, the more powerful it becomes. The invisible soul within is part of the supreme Creator. Direct the senses inward to discover this soul and achieve unity. This realization fosters love and ends conflict. Desires are an insatiable hunger. Mantra can satisfy the mind and lead to liberation. A realized yogi possesses contentment, not worldly wealth. The human body is like a coach; the senses are horses, the mind is the rider, and the soul is the king within. All religions, shaped by culture, aim for the one Formless God. The essence within everyone is the same divine light.
"Religions are like rivers, and Dharma is the ocean."
"From the Whole, the whole is created. From the infinite, the infinite is created, and still the infinite remains as it is."

Health is founded on home, nourishment, and aligning with natural cycles.
Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. Every illness is connected to the psyche. Food supports healing, but the root spiritual cause must be addressed. Nature offers daily and yearly cycles with building and eliminating phases. Utilize the elimination periods for cleansing. Obesity stems from a nutrient deficiency, often a lack of love. Institutional support is needed for mothers to be home, cook daily, and provide nourishment. Home-cooked meals, however simple, create vitality and a lasting foundation. Children who eat at home develop a guiding sense for what their body needs.
"Obesity is a lack of love."

The Destiny
22:00 - 23:21 (81 min)
Our body is a divine energy system of chakras, and destiny is recorded within it. Chakras are energy centers connecting consciousness, space, and energy. The body is an indescribable creation; it transforms food into life in a way no machine can. Our destiny is the fruit of past actions, recorded in our energy field like an unerasable line on stone. We cannot delete it, but through spiritual practice, we can rise above it. The Ājñā Chakra, or third eye, when opened, grants vision of past, present, and future. Negative energies—Kāma, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Ahaṅkāra—arise from the lower chakras and bind us. These must be replaced with positive qualities: Tyāga, Vairāgya, Bhakti, Jñāna, and Viveka. A practice like Pañcāmṛta—a mixture of milk, yogurt, butter, honey, and pure water—used in worship, can help purify energy and balance the chakras. Following a master's guidance can help monitor and navigate destiny, though not erase it. The aim is to realize the oneness of all consciousness.
"Destiny is a line on the stone. We can't delete it."
"When we realize the oneness, then there is no difference between God and us, because it's the same energy, the same space."
