The way to God
0:10 - 0:44 (34 min)
The essence of spiritual life is Satsaṅg and recognizing the inner Guru. Religious identity is temporary, but the Ātmā within all beings is eternal. This essence is like an ocean, with individuals as drops from it. In this age, humility and goodness lead to the supreme reality, while pride leads elsewhere. The true Guru is beyond all deities, often silent yet profoundly present. External achievements and learning are not the final measure. True greatness is found in humble devotion and inner truth. Association with truth and pure company is vital, yet even simple, constant remembrance can be transformative. The ultimate state is one of inner silence, where all distinctions dissolve.
"Guru Dev. What is the Guru Dev? The Guru is above Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva."
"Sat. What is sat? What is it? It is truth. Truth. And Saṅgha.... With whom do you want to live?"

Mantra and Mala
0:45 - 1:23 (38 min)
Life is the Ātmā within all beings, seen through the Self. Humans consume life, yet must understand this act distances them from the supreme. Feeling pain teaches non-violence. To approach God requires immense time and grace; unintentional harm may be forgiven, but intentional killing bars the path. Saints do not boast; true greatness lies in selfless service.
The mala is a constant step toward God, paired with a mantra given by the guru or family. Regular prayer, like the Muslim practice, instills discipline. The greeting of praṇām is a mutual prayer for goodness. There are two mala practices: one uses a 108-bead mala with a Guru Mukhī bead, turned with the thumb and middle finger without crossing that bead. The other is Sumaran, a constant walking remembrance like the breath, without a guru point. The story of Hanuman illustrates that one's chosen divine name, like Rām, becomes an inseparable companion through constant repetition, leading ultimately to merging with divine light.
"One mala means for us one step toward God."
"Your Rām is your mother, your father, your brother, your good friend."

Compassion for all living beings is the urgent teaching.
The world experiences great heat and drought. Many animals suffer and die from lack of water. While the ocean is vast and salty, sustaining life within it, life on land requires fresh water. We must help where we can. Our circumstances change, as illustrated by an old story. A mother gives her son a ring, explaining it signifies that difficult times will pass and good times will also change. This is the nature of life. We are to learn from such teachings. Therefore, we must act with practical kindness. Use water wisely. Provide water for animals and birds. Share what you have with all creatures. This is a great blessing.
"Whenever you have any problems... look in the ring. Good days will come."
"We should help everyone, not only humans, but all birds and animals and everything."

Follow your human dharma
1:55 - 2:45 (50 min)
The human purpose is to follow dharma, the path of good, and avoid adharma, the path of evil. Dharma means causing no harm to any creature, including not killing for food. Adharma begins with harmful speech and actions, leading to the cycle of violence where creatures devour each other. Humans are meant to be above this animal behavior. Our life is given to find God's path, not for mere eating. God resides within the heart; causing trouble first afflicts our own inner divinity. Hell is not a separate place but exists here as cruelty. Proper human sustenance is from fruits, seeds, and milk—a gift from motherly sources like the earth, the cow, and our own mother. Killing animals for food or consuming their embryos is a grave sin that contradicts our spiritual nature. Yoga's true purpose is not just health but to turn the mind toward the God within. Practice prāṇāyāma to purify the lungs and sustain life force. Avoid harmful substances and excessive consumption. Support a life of non-violence and purity.
"Dharma means to do good. This includes all creatures: we should not give them trouble or kill them."
"Human life is given for dharma, not for adharma."

A large-scale world peace monument shaped as the universal Oṃ symbol is being built. Since 1993, this structure has served humanity by teaching yoga, meditation, and philosophy to preserve Vedic wisdom. It will contain 108 residential compartments for visitors and students. The design originated from a yogi's vision, who developed the "Yoga in Daily Life" system for holistic health, now practiced globally. The site already functions as an active center with a free school, a college, and a hospital. To heal the local ecosystem, an artificial lake harvests monsoon rain, raising groundwater. Worldwide projects protect animals and plant millions of trees. This non-profit mission, born from one heart's vision, advocates for universal non-violence and protection for all cultures and creatures. Its full fruition requires everyone's contribution.
"Modern science now affirms the benefits of yoga on the human condition."

The Role of Yoga and Meditation in Improving Quality of Life for Cancer Patients
3:10 - 4:17 (67 min)
Yoga and meditation can improve quality of life for cancer patients when used alongside standard medical care, not as a cure.
Studies show yogic interventions, including specific āsanas, prāṇāyāma, and meditation, help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression in patients. This improves their sense of well-being during treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, evidence does not support claims that yoga cures cancer. Such false promises are harmful, causing patients to delay effective treatment until their disease becomes advanced and incurable. The principle must be welfare of all, first doing no harm. Yoga is applicable at all stages: for primary prevention through lifestyle, secondary prevention via early diagnosis, and tertiary care to alleviate suffering in advanced disease. More robust, large-scale studies are needed to confirm benefits and identify the most effective techniques.
"Please do not give a false hope that your cancer will be cured."
"Yogic intervention helps in relieving the stress level of patients and thereby improves their sleep."

The real disciple
4:25 - 5:04 (39 min)
The essence of Sanātana Dharma is Śaṅkarācārya, who restored truth from a young age. He sought to become a sannyāsī despite his mother's initial refusal, later fulfilling his promise to perform her funeral rites against convention. He established four monasteries across India, providing different spiritual paths for different natures. Becoming a true disciple requires immense dedication, as illustrated by the tale of Upamanyu. The young boy endured severe tests from his guru, including starvation, blindness, and falling into a well, yet maintained his devotion. His unwavering faith ultimately invoked divine vision and strength. Modern disciples often lack such steadfastness, distracted by the temptations of the current age.
"Mother, I will be there for you, but I must also go forth to restore reality and truth."
"Gurudev, I cannot eat without first offering food to someone."

5:05 - 5:13 (8 min)
The supreme necessity of the Guru's grace renders all worldly and religious accomplishments meaningless without it. What is the use of beauty, family, fame, or vast wealth if the mind is not fixed at the Guru's feet? What is the use of mastering scriptures, composing poetry, or being honored by kings? Even righteous conduct and universal renown are useless without that attachment. The Guru is the Supreme Reality, the ferryman who carries the soul across existence. All pilgrimages are contained in service to the Guru, who bestows liberation and the direct experience of truth. Fortunate are those who hold those feet.
"What is the use of a beautiful form, a virtuous wife, glorious fame, or wealth as immense as Mount Meru, if the mind is not attached to the lotus feet of the Guru?"
"You are the ferryman who takes the soul across, granting the experience of the true nature of the Self."

6:10 - 6:49 (39 min)
Yoga practice is growing globally as people engage more deeply with physical exercises, prāṇāyāma, and meditation. This inward turn signifies a return to the heart. Ancient teachings reveal a past of purity without animal harm, contrasting with present times. The current age sees a division between those who harm animals and those who love them. Development is measured not by science alone but by compassion and non-violence. The essence of yoga transcends physical practice to connect with the inner soul. A spiritual community mourns the passing of a dedicated disciple, celebrating a life of service and devotion.

Live as a Yogi
6:55 - 7:31 (36 min)
A yogic life honors the body as divine through natural nourishment and disciplined practice.
Modern disease arises from unnatural living, improper eating, and environmental harm. While doctors are a boon, true health returns to the natural way, like nourishment from a grandmother's kitchen. Constant eating and artificial habits shorten life. Past generations lived long through natural sustenance. The body is our temple and primary religion. One must live with consistency, avoiding contradictions like practicing yoga then consuming harmful substances. Begin each day mindfully, acknowledging our human form and connection to elements like water. The aim is for all to become yogis—healthy, peaceful, and devoted to the living God within this body.
"The best medicine is the kitchen of our grandmothers."

Spiritual message of ancient India
9:30 - 10:34 (64 min)
The essence of yoga and spiritual life is found in the ancient Gurukul system, not merely in physical exercise. Sixty years ago, yoga was deeply spiritual, practiced by great saints and ascetics. Jain and Buddhist traditions exemplify this purity through strict non-violence, meditation, and simple living. Ancient Indian universities like Nalanda were vast centers of spiritual knowledge, later destroyed. The true Gurukul is not a historical building but the living presence of the Master. Disciples receive knowledge and support the Master's mission, creating a global spiritual family. This system provides a foundation of ethics, compassion, and progressive growth that common yoga schools lack. Every step on this path reduces suffering and increases bliss.
"Yoga was then very spiritual, pure, and so on. And all yogīs, sādhus, and other people were filled with yoga."
"I am myself Gurukul."

Webcast from Jadan Ashram
10:40 - 11:46 (66 min)
The true Guru and true fellowship are the sole support for the soul. Without them, the life force departs, wandering aimlessly. The world and the ocean offer no refuge. The mind, left to its own devices, knows nothing and achieves nothing. Only through this divine connection is there blessing and grace. The tradition is honored from Sadāśiva through Śaṅkarācārya to the present teachers. The ultimate state is attained not by ritual, progeny, or wealth, but by renunciation and the knowledge of Vedānta.
"What will happen if you listen to me?"
"There is no support for me in this world, and the ocean."

Bhajan evening in Jadan Ashram
11:50 - 12:29 (39 min)
The yogic sleep of the realized being is a state of wakeful awareness. In that sleep, one knows wakefulness and makes the night bright as day. The senses are withdrawn yet perceiving, unattached like a white lotus in muddy water. One abides in the self, radiant on the throne of the heart. Wherever one looks or hears, there is no ordinary thought or sight. This is the sleep known to saints and sages, where consciousness remains fully conscious.

Forms of God
12:35 - 13:32 (57 min)
The choice between form and formlessness is presented for contemplation. God possesses both aspects: the visible, physical form and the invisible, formless space. Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa stated there is no difference between them. As physical beings, we experience the world of form through our senses. The formless state is described as an emptiness with no objects, companions, or physical needs. While both are equal, being in a physical body allows for spiritual practice and enjoyment of life. The soul persists after the body dies, but its nature is elusive. Ultimately, both aspects reside within the individual. Life in form involves work and difficulty but also connection. The formless offers freedom from all needs. The choice between them is a personal consideration.

Live life in a natural way
13:40 - 14:45 (65 min)
The essence of living is to know how to live naturally and fully.
Life is more than eating, drinking, and sleeping. Humans have forgotten how to live, unlike village people who sustain themselves. Life originates from water and is interconnected with all nature. Many now lack basic skills like cooking or growing food, relying on systems that disconnect them from life's source. This dependence leads to helplessness. True living means engaging directly with nature to obtain and prepare nourishment. Modern conveniences and money have replaced this direct relationship, harming health and community. A natural life of cooperation, without reliance on bought goods, fosters health and happiness. Return to organic living, cooking at home, and family meals. Learn essential skills to be self-reliant and live positively.

Message of the three monkeys
14:50 - 15:56 (66 min)
The ātmā is present in all living beings, and we must respect this universal life.
Every entity with life contains the ātmā and the five elements. This includes humans, animals, and plants. Respecting all life is the path to sainthood; otherwise, karma determines our next birth. We must guard our senses: do not listen to negativity, do not see bad things, and speak only good words, as harmful speech returns to us. Animals possess the same elements and feelings as humans, only without speech. We must avoid harming others through body, mind, or speech. True service is helping those in need, like an intoxicated person. The label "fanatic" is often misused out of jealousy against those pursuing peace, humility, and non-violence. All genuine religious devotion is valid; differences are only in words. We should respect all faiths and never criticize them negatively. Our advanced human knowledge should not create tools for cruelty, like slaughter, but should honor the one truth within all.
"Life is everywhere, and we shall respect that life. Then you become a saint, a great saint."
"And that is called tanse, manse, or bachanse. Tanse, with the body. Manse, through the mind. And third, the worst, if we can purify this, we are pure."

A prayer for healing and reflection on suffering and purification.
A collective prayer is offered for all beings suffering from disease. Prayer is a great power and medicine. Actions taken without knowledge, including against innocent animals, require forgiveness. Justice from God may be delayed but is certain. Observing the world suggests those integrating yoga and lifelong vegetarianism show resilience. The human body is sacred and requires care. Modern consumption patterns, like constant eating, are unnatural and lead to disease. Eating less allows for greater vital energy. All people share one earth and must return to it. Political leaders worldwide are working diligently; they deserve respect and support during this time. The ultimate path is to relax peacefully, maintain positive thoughts, and pray.

The Five Stages of Mantra Practice
18:20 - 19:04 (44 min)
Mantra practice unfolds through five distinct stages. The first stage is Likhita, the written mantra, which requires correct form to preserve meaning. The second is Vācika, the vocalized pronunciation of that written form. The third stage is Upāṁśika, where the mantra is articulated by the tongue without audible sound. The fourth is Mānasika, a mental repetition without any physical movement. The fifth and final stage is Ajapa, where the mantra resonates spontaneously throughout the entire being without any effort. This progression internalizes the sacred sound until it becomes one's inherent nature. The practice must be received from and dedicated to the master. Correct foundational practice prevents deviation, yet the guru-given mantra itself is paramount beyond form. The ultimate goal is for the mantra to permeate one's entire existence, leading to realization.
"Likhita means writing."
"Ajapa means that which is not japa, that which happens without japa."

Learning is the sacred foundation, and the sanctity of generations is its vessel.
Schools may close, but learning must continue at home. True knowledge, Vidyā, is a divine gift. The child's foundation is laid from conception. For nine months, the home should be a peaceful sanctuary with clean food and water, maintained by both parents in a spiritual atmosphere. Do not inquire if the child is a boy or girl; desire only a healthy child. Prepare the home joyfully, like birds building a new nest. The happiness of grandparents signifies the family's flourishing. Witnessing five living generations is a supreme blessing, a ladder to cosmic life. This tradition upholds the family line. Do not discard the elderly; to do so is a great sin. Modern life in large cities breeds separation, unlike close-knit villages where a new child brings communal joy. Uphold your traditions. The guest is God. In this age, do not let conflict enter; be happy, not angry or jealous. Achieve these steps through love and respect for all creatures.
