Shiva is the light
1:10 - 2:20 (70 min)
All beings possess a soul and feel pain, from humans to the smallest fly. Water is life, and God is the living energy within it. To be human is to refrain from intentional killing. Different eras, or yugas, cycle with Dharma's purity declining; we now reside in Kali Yuga. Divinity is not a form but the conscious power from which all manifestation arises, with Śiva as the primordial source. True religion is one's inherent relation to the divine, not sectarian identity.
"A tiny fly, when they see us, they come near us and then fly away. Why? Because they think, 'These humans, they will kill us.'"
"God is that energy, power, protection, many things, but not the form."

Bhajan evening in Jadan Ashram
2:00 - 2:35 (35 min)
Devotion manifests through repetitive praise and ecstatic song. The core practice is the invocation of divine names and gurus. This chanting is a phonetic rendering of a live devotional session. Its repetitive phrases are musical refrains, not discursive arguments. The varying epithets for deities are typical of invocation. The text is a record of spiritual expression, not logical exposition. Its primary function is celebratory praise. The content is an aural and devotional experience.
"Guru Viśva Bādaśā, Arāja Sūno Sarkā."
"Śiro maṇi manuṣya tā na dhārī huvā."

Drops go back to the ocean
2:25 - 3:52 (87 min)
The Guru's grace is the sole means for spiritual attainment and worldly fulfillment.
The Guru is the embodiment of divine principles, identical to Śiva, Viṣṇu, and the supreme Brahman. All spiritual practice, from meditation to liberation, originates from the Guru. The disciple's mind is like a flowing river, often caught in circular, worldly thoughts. Entering the ashram is like a pure drop of water seeking the ocean; one must consciously direct the mind's flow toward the divine. Without this discipline, even a long life of practice can be wasted, as the mind falls back into impurity. The Guru's seat is a sacred trust, requiring constant purity to occupy. The goal is to merge the individual consciousness into the boundless ocean of the absolute.
"Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvara, Gurur Sākṣāt Parabrahma."
"Dhyāna Mūlam Guru Mūrti, Pūjā Mūlam Guru Padam, Mantra Mūlam Guru Vākya, Mokṣa Mūlam Guru Kṛpā."

Around the world - YIDL at he Sziget Festival Budapest 2011
4:00 - 4:05 (5 min)
Yoga is offered as a sanctuary within a large music festival. For eleven years, we provide a daily practice, showing festival-goers how to relax deeply. Many newcomers try yoga here for the first time. We adapt to the fast-paced environment by offering 20-25 minute sessions tailored to individual requests for rest, asana, or meditation. Initial interest often comes from seeing dynamic asana practice. We always begin with simple, grounding exercises, not advanced postures. We emphasize preserving the tradition's purity and spirituality, contrasting with the popular strength-based styles. Our presence in this community space is essential, as many might not seek out a dedicated center. People practice even amidst loud music, achieving a withdrawal of the senses. This demonstrates that deep relaxation is possible anywhere.
"Based on this, our prepared yoga instructors tailor the session accordingly."
"The astonishing experience we have is that at most they achieve pratyāhāra, the withdrawal of the senses, so that they are absolutely undisturbed by what is happening outside."

The Path of Yoga for Universal Peace
4:10 - 4:33 (23 min)
Yoga is the universal manual for achieving peace. It is far more than physical flexibility; it is the interconnection of body, mind, and spirit, extending from the individual to all humanity and nature. Lasting peace has not been found through material wealth or political philosophies alone. Yoga, founded on non-violence, provides the path. It is a way of life that harmonizes all faiths by directing one inward to know the self. Transforming the world begins with transforming oneself. This practice requires no money and can be started immediately. By investing in yoga education and making personal practice a priority, individuals become ambassadors of peace. The collective action of many yogis can change the world.
"Yoga is the only practice that gives peace to everyone without harm, judgment, or discrimination."
"To fix the world, you must fix your mind."

Trees also have karma
4:40 - 5:02 (22 min)
The ancient forest reveals profound truths through its life and stories. To understand it is to know everything. Sages walk there, and a solitary yogī lives among immense, ancient trees. We have such a forest in our ashram. There, a massive banyan tree, over 5,000 years old, stands. This reminds me of a story from another ashram. A young guru there spoke to a great tree, prophesying its death within two years. The tree, confident after millennia, asked who could kill it. The guru said its friends would, and that its enemy was in fire and iron. Later, a man with an axe came and felled the tree. The fallen tree later advised that one should not have enemies, and if someone is your enemy, be kind to them. There is a lesson in small things, like a needle that can kill. We should always be careful, happy, and kind. Then, their karma will affect them, not you. The trees are our best friends. We humans need the forests and should love them.
"Ṛṣi, you take care of yourself. I am okay."
"Therefore, we should always be careful and always be very happy and kind to others."

The aim of human life: Liberation
5:10 - 6:11 (61 min)
The eternal journey of the soul is our core inquiry. Ādi Śaṅkarācārya's essential question is "Who am I?" I am not this temporary body, which is composed of five elements. The soul enters mortal life through four paths: vegetation, microorganisms, egg-born creatures, and womb-born creatures like humans. This soul is on an endless journey, like a river flowing to the ocean, experiencing many lives based on karma. The human life is a critical opportunity. If we miss our righteous path, we go backwards; if we attain liberation, Mokṣa, we also return, as there is nothing higher. You are not merely eating and breeding; you have a higher purpose. Souls can be trapped, like a bird in a cage, by their own karma. Your spiritual presence here can help liberate such souls. In truth, there is no gender in the soul; non-duality is the ultimate reality. This body is an instrument for the soul. At death, the soul exits through specific channels; a yogi's soul departs through the crown. The journey continues.
"Who am I? I am not this body. The body is just a cover."
"The soul, with the soul which is in one, life enters. Now, endless journey, flowing and flowing."

We need peace in the whole world
7:30 - 8:15 (45 min)
Peace is the essential state and practice.
The word "Śāntiḥ" encompasses perfect happiness and is invoked to conclude prayers. The world desperately needs this peace. Our practice and mantras are good and must be shared. Life is like a flame sustained by energy; when that is gone, the flame goes out. Our bodies contain the five elements. We should begin the day with reverence for earth and water. Observing nature, like birds and dogs greeting the sun, reveals a shared vitality. Dietary choices, like abstaining from meat, can bring more peace and clarity. Personal rituals, like morning Pūjā, connect us to this energy. We should send prayers for others from our own prāṇa. The flame of a lamp is powerful; showing it to a child can aid sleep. Our practices and words are a spiritual wealth to be given to all. We will face difficulties but should build and give goodness. Practice Trāṭak by gazing softly at a flame's clean light, then closing the eyes.
"Śānti is both a feminine principle and the state of perfect happiness and joy."
"Life is like this fire. When everything, like ghee, is consumed, it will go away."

Just be humble and give
8:20 - 9:06 (46 min)
Humanity has lost its connection with Mother Earth, creating suffering and destruction. Humans possess great intelligence and spirituality, yet this development has led to harming the planet and each other. Modern advancements, while impressive, often involve chemicals and practices that spoil the natural world and human health. The Earth, our second mother, is now in very bad condition due to this interference. Despite having everything, people still fight and seek to kill, forgetting their shared humanity. The call is to return to humility, peace, and oneness with all life. Healing begins by sitting with Mother Earth, offering prayers, and giving selflessly.
"Morning, when I wake up, I see my eyes open, and what I said, 'I am what?' Human."
"We have destroyed the earth. All is for Mother Earth. Whatever we are bringing, all that is happening, why not we give some good?"

Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 1 - Part 2
17:00 - 18:04 (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

In your body is God inside
20:10 - 20:41 (31 min)
A new consciousness is dawning through veganism and spiritual unity. Ālakpurījī's presence is growing worldwide, not just in India, like a seed becoming a beautiful flower. Many are realizing the divine within without formal yoga. A global shift is occurring: young people are adopting veganism, understanding we must not torture or kill life. This marks the converging ages; Kali Yuga's darkness is receding as Satya Yuga's light rises. We must survive by choosing non-violence. The soul suffers immensely when life is taken, creating negative karma. Our time is to protect animals, showing the love we give to pets to all creatures. This creates a new world of peace. Human intelligence can achieve great good, recognizing God within all. Life is short; hold to God and help all beings. Equality is essential; the soul has no gender. The current strife over possessions is Kali Yuga's darkness. We must bring light and realize Brahman.
"Now veganism has begun around the whole world. And year by year, the young people, they brought in their brain that yes, we should not kill life."
"Our life is not our body, but in our soul... And that is feeling very terrible things. And with this, they die. The soul goes out very torturing."

Glimpse of Kundalini
20:45 - 21:39 (54 min)
The soul is one, not many. All beings and vegetation possess this single life force. We exist within five layered bodies, or kośas, made from the five elements. At death, these elements separate and return to their source; the soul does not die but transitions. Our individual consciousness, the jīvātmā, resides within these layers. Through purification via prāṇāyāma and meditation, we shed negative karma and qualities to merge with the cosmic consciousness, which is liberation. The chakra system maps subtle energy points in the body, symbolizing this journey. Practices like earthing and avoiding intoxicants balance these energies for health and spiritual progress. Ultimately, all distinctions are illusions; we are a single consciousness.
"In reality, it is only one soul."
"Your body will not die... the five elements... are becoming one again."

The essence of devotion and righteous living is found in the Guru's grace and adherence to dharma. The Guru is the root of meditation, worship, mantra, and liberation. All glory belongs to the divine teachers and manifestations. True practice requires singing together in devotion. The core teaching is that real yoga necessitates a pure lifestyle. One must first abandon alcohol, tobacco, eggs, and meat. These are not given for human consumption. Many suffer disease from such diets. A global shift is occurring where some are adopting vegetarianism while others are straying. To learn real yoga, one must live according to these principles and protect all life, including animals and nature. This practice is the rightful wealth of this land.
