The Nabhi
0:15 - 1:10 (55 min)
The many paths of yoga converge like rivers into one ocean. Respect all ways of practice. The science of yoga is vast, yet we must understand our own body. The navel, or Nābhi, is the root. A problem there affects the whole system. To progress, one must bring the body under control through proper diet and awareness. Overweight individuals should eat lightly, focusing on salads and seeds, to achieve balance over time. Practice feeling the movement and vibration at the navel. This awareness is the foundation for meditation and self-knowledge. True practice begins from this root, balancing the physical to access deeper states. The sound of OM originates from the navel, rising through the channels to the crown. Balance in the body leads to balance in consciousness.
"Yoga is yoga, but which kind of yoga? It is like this gathering: some have come from the East, some from the West, and all who have come via different paths have seen many different things."
"The navel is the root. Everything is there. When there is a problem with the navel, the whole body will die."

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."

Message of the three monkeys
4:05 - 5:11 (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."

Everything is in your hands
5:15 - 5:50 (35 min)
The initiation of eight sannyāsīs was a highlight. The Master decides readiness; these were not easy individuals, each a long effort to guide. One is profoundly honest, immediately embodying the role. Another prepared for decades through hardship. Three were from Australia, one from Israel, and one Indian who left too quickly. The final one is a devoted and humble soul. Your spiritual progress is ultimately in your own hands. Teachers and masters can only support you; the decisive action is yours. A story illustrates this: disciples, jealous of their Master, trap a bird and ask if it is alive or dead. The Master replies its fate is in their hands. Your liberation, like the bird's life, depends on your decisions. Do not delay in good actions. Regarding dress, disciples should wear white; sannyāsīs wear orange. Becoming a sannyāsī is serious, not a fashion; it helps carry the spiritual light but requires true readiness and independence.
"Master, if you know everything, then tell us what is in my hand."
"My son, whether this bird is alive or dead depends on your hands."

We should know where our soul is
5:55 - 6:34 (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.
"The love awakens the perfect self-realization."

Bhajan evening in Jadan Ashram
6:40 - 7:19 (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.

Live as a Yogi
7:25 - 8:01 (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."
"Our body is our God. It is our holy place."

The real disciple
8:05 - 8:44 (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."

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.

Live life in a natural way
12:30 - 13:35 (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.
"Life—eating, drinking, sleeping, and sometimes walking a little bit—that is not life. So, live life."

Spiritual message of ancient India
14:50 - 15:54 (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."

Practicing Yoga Asanas
16:00 - 16:41 (41 min)
We practice Vajrāsana and Vīrāsana for the nāḍī systems. Vajrāsana activates the Vajra Nāḍī, which begins between the big and second toe, connects to the base of the spine, and guides energy to the navel. Sitting in it after eating aids digestion and can help with constipation by relaxing the stomach and straightening the spine. It also balances the sciatic nerve. Vīrāsana, the hero's posture, involves sitting on the heels with toes standing. It warms the body, increases alertness, and with practice, can help repair digestion and headaches. These postures strengthen the lower centers and foot soles, which connect to the body's organs. They develop leg strength, balance, and concentration. Practice must be held steadily to awaken the nerves. "This Vajrāsana is designed especially to strengthen or to activate that Vajra Nāḍī." "This will repair our digestion. This will repair our headache problems, also many, many things." Filming location: USA
Forms of God
16:45 - 17:42 (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.
"Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa said, 'No difference.'"
"In Nirakāra, we don’t see anything."

Family life: steps towards heaven
18:50 - 19:35 (45 min)
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.
"Mostly they said, 'It doesn’t matter if it’s a girl or a boy, we need only a helpful, very healthy child.'"
"When you have five generations in front of you, you have five steps to the cosmic life."

The Five Stages of Mantra Practice
19:40 - 20:24 (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.

Where is our house?
21:25 - 22:18 (53 min)
Our true home is in God, not in this world. We are born and move between places, yet never find a lasting home. Heaven is described as perfect joy, yet jealousy exists even there. A story illustrates divine purpose. God walks in a garden, greeting all plants. A bamboo feels empty and flawed, possessing jealousy's knot and fire. God explains He will craft the bamboo into Krishna's flute to bring harmony and joy to all beings. Later, the bamboo also serves as a conduit for the Ganga's water. Do not question God's actions; seek to understand them. Satsaṅg attracts those naturally drawn to the light of truth, like insects to a lamp. One whose nature is ignorance may flee the fragrance of truth for foulness.
"God said, 'I will make a flute out of you.' ... You will make the whole world happy."
"Chandana makkī parhāre, durgandhi vah uḍ jāye. So, one who is not a jñānī cannot go to the satsaṅg."
