Human life is valuable, yet filled with fear that drives all religious seeking. All creatures live in fear, and humans are no different. This fear leads people to temples, mosques, and churches. The physical Guru is a conduit to the divine, not claiming divinity themselves. Spiritual traditions exist worldwide, each with unique customs for honoring God and ancestors. All genuine paths ultimately lead to the same divine source. A true Guru's promise to a disciple is eternal, working across lifetimes for liberation.
"Life is not easy. They know, they don’t know. But they have one thing, and that is a fear, a very great fear."
"So it means that, don’t think that the guru is nothing. When you have it, then it will be, not in this life, but in the next life."

Around the world -- Yoga against diabetes from Czech Republic
3:15 - 3:22 (7 min)
Yoga addresses modern diseases like high blood pressure and diabetes through holistic practices. Prolonged stress disrupts physical and mental balance, leading to illness. The system views these conditions from a holistic perspective, where emotional and psychological stress contribute alongside organic dysfunctions. Practices such as relaxation, āsanas, and meditation can influence insulin-producing cells and control disease factors. These techniques shape our attitude toward health, cultivating relaxation, balance, and discipline to achieve physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. The exercises are systematically arranged for accessibility, even for the elderly or those with limited mobility. Practitioners need only the determination to improve concentration, physical condition, and mental calmness. Teachers should emphasize slowness, calmness, and harmonization, instilling the principle of observing one's body and breath. The practice supports reducing adipose tissue and involves specific movements performed with mindful observation.
"Yoga practices shape our attitude toward health and life."
"Practitioners should be instilled with the principle of perceiving their own body, observing the rhythm of the breath."

The evolution of the Universe
3:30 - 4:21 (51 min)
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."

Anahata chakra
4:25 - 5:11 (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 are full of the divinity
6:00 - 6:16 (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."

Spiritual Sadhana
6:20 - 7:13 (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."

The 3rd Sri Swami Maheshwarananda Festival (1/4)
7:30 - 8:41 (71 min)
The purpose of human life is to realize the Ātmā within the heart, moving from ignorance to the light of liberation. We are bound to the outer world and identify with thoughts and feelings, believing we are separate individuals. This causes suffering and the cycle of birth and death. The guru provides practices to overcome this false identification and ego. Through devotion and these tools, one can purify the inner self. The goal is to recognize the oneness of the inner self and the Divine, which already exists within. The outer world is manifold, but the inner Puruṣa is one. Do not waste the precious human life in worldly pursuits.
"Only your guru can free you from that. He can lead you from this ignorance to the light—the light of wisdom, the light of knowledge, the light of liberation."
"The eyes are given to you to see the Lord, and the ears we have to listen to wisdom. With our mouths we shall chant the name of God, and with our hands we should give."

The 3rd Sri Swami Maheshwarananda Festival (2/4)
8:45 - 9:54 (69 min)
The longing for the divine is the core of spiritual search. External pursuits bring only change, not lasting joy. Saints direct the search inward, where the beloved is found. The essence of creation is Oṁ, the sound and form of God. Knowing this secret, saints abide in eternal bliss. Practice purifies the layers of being, revealing the higher Self. The guru incarnates to bestow the knowledge and path for self-realization. This teaching dispels the illusion of separation from God.
"Somehow, the world pulls us outward, but there is always change."
"Without Aum, your spiritual practice is senseless."

10:00 - 11:07 (67 min)
The heart's door is kept open for the divine, yet days pass in longing without that vision. A constant search persists, night and day. The teaching reveals that the true self is not separate; like oil in a seed, the divine essence is within all. One is the temple, the deity, and the pilgrim. All powers lie within, requiring inner strength to face and dissolve internal obstacles through mantra and consciousness. This fire of seeking is essential, for without it, one cannot ascend. The path involves both this inner realization and a devotional plea for grace and darśan to liberate the heart.
"Like oil in the seed, fire in the wood, fragrance in a flower. Like this, my true self is all one."

Atma is king of the body
13:15 - 14:20 (65 min)
Perseverance in spiritual practice is essential, and the inner self is the sovereign of the human vehicle.
Maintain a single target on the path to achieve it; without focus, one feels emptiness and anger. A practitioner, after twenty-four years without perceived experiences, considered abandoning his practice. Observing an ant repeatedly fail yet succeed in carrying a grain of rice up a tree taught him never to give up. The body is a coach; the ten indriyas are its powerful horses, controlled by the mind. Within this coach resides the king, the Ātmā, which is formless and ever-awakened. Viveka, or discernment, is the essential advisor to this king. If viveka is absent, thieves like desire and anger enter and destroy the vehicle. The guru's word is the arrow that drives these thieves away.
"For 24 years I’m practicing, but I don’t have any experiences."
"Ātmā is Nirākāra: Nirākāra means formless."

The meaning of Bhajan
14:25 - 15:52 (87 min)
The essence of bhajan, mantra, and prāṇa is explored. Bhajan is not merely singing but the inner repetition of God's name with devotion, encompassing prayer, meditation, and all actions offered to God. Poetry contains wisdom, asking and answering questions. Mantra is a potent seed containing the essence of reality, connected to prāṇa, the vital energy present in sound and nourishment. There are two states of samādhi: sabīja, where awareness remains, and nirbīja, a union with the divine beyond the senses. The guru is not a physical form but a state of consciousness, a chain through which divine grace flows. The bhajan's refrain is itself a mantra, composed of names of God, describing the eternal, beginningless divine principle.
"Bhajan must not be understood only as singing; this is inner-directed practice."
"The guru is not a physical form; the guru is a state of consciousness."

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."

The Destiny
20:35 - 21:56 (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."

What is God?
22:00 - 22:58 (58 min)
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."
