There is God in your instruments
0:20 - 1:00 (40 min)
The human life is for spiritual practice to realize the divine within. Practice brings harmony to the family and peace to the individual. Perform daily rituals, remember the divine name, and live with gratitude. This life may be the final opportunity to complete one's purpose and attain the supreme. Many techniques exist, but disciplined practice is essential. Do not teach a method until you have fully mastered and experienced its results yourself. True mastery comes from dedicated practice over time, where the practitioner becomes an instrument of a higher power. The path of sound, like in Brahmari Pranayama, holds immense power to connect with the ultimate reality.
"God is within your heart. The most important thing is to perform sādhanā."
"First, you should understand, then practice the technique exactly, and learn it yourself first."

Meeting of the past and present
2:05 - 3:54 (109 min)
This gathering marks the transition of time, where the past meets the present and an unknown future is born. The moment of midnight symbolizes a new beginning, a child arriving. The true lesson concerns how to navigate this passage. Obsession with the past is dangerous and can pull one down. Fixation on an unseen future is an illusion, offering no control. The only point of power is the present moment. One must live there fully, with complete attention. Spiritual practice happens now, shaping karma now. The past must be released, and the future not grasped at. Progress is made step by step, with care and awareness fixed on the current action. This present awareness is the greatest gift.
"When you look back in your past... it will attract you. You will fall down; it is very dangerous. When you look up, you do not see anything."
"The only thing you have to be careful about is to live in the present moment. Fulfill your present moment with all your soul."

Yoga, Faith, and Integration: A Personal Journey and Panel Discussion
4:00 - 5:04 (64 min)
Yoga is a faith-based system for wellness and healing, integrating consciousness with the body. A personal testimony describes overcoming a cancer diagnosis by refusing conventional treatment and rewriting one's mental blueprint. The individual believed revised thoughts would communicate with cells and DNA to halt disease progression, attributing survival solely to yoga practiced with faith and discipline. This illustrates yoga's potential beyond physical postures, focusing on divine energy and consciousness.
Panelists discuss integrating traditional Āyush systems like Homeopathy, Āyurveda, and Siddha with yoga and modern medicine. Homeopathy treats the whole person mind-body-intellect economically. Āyurveda and yoga share principles of removing prāṇic blockages through detoxification and lifestyle. Siddha medicine inherently includes yoga and varma therapy. All emphasize a holistic, health-centric approach over a disease-centric model, addressing root causes like stress and suppressed urges. The World Health Organization supports developing evidence-based yoga modules for non-communicable diseases and exploring integrative service delivery. The spiritual core of yoga is to raise human consciousness, with health benefits being natural side effects.
"If you allow God’s energy to run into your system by removing the ignorance that blocks it, God will provide the miracles."
"Yoga and Āyurveda are like the two faces of the same coin. If we can integrate both concepts, probably we can render wonderful results."

We should help
5:10 - 5:55 (45 min)
The human condition is defined by ignorance and a futile pursuit of immortality within the physical form. Humans possess great arrogance and technical skill but remain confined by the body and its elemental nature. Even deities are subject to change, and no being in a physical form can be granted immortality. True immortality exists only beyond the five elements, as the soul or Ātmā. Human life is consumed by fear, desire, and material accumulation, which creates suffering and severs connection from righteousness. Modern society exacerbates greed and hardship, distancing people from dharma and spiritual truth. The soul is eternal but trapped and unhappy within the physical body; liberation comes when it departs and merges with the universal consciousness, like a drop returning to the ocean.
"Immortality is when you are not in the physical body."
"The soul is in our body, and the soul is not happy, but our body doesn’t want to let go."

Sri SatGuru Chalisa
6:00 - 6:13 (13 min)
The Satguru Chalīsā is a sacred text for meditation and crossing worldly existence. We worship the all-pervasive creator, the supreme incarnation. Without this grace, no one crosses the ocean of worldly life. All sages meditate upon this presence. Spiritual knowledge is given to the heart, resulting in fearlessness and the end of problems. Reading or listening to the Chalīsā brings concentration, ends the fear of birth and death, and grants prosperity and fulfillment. Life becomes perfect and suffering departs. The verses describe the merciful protector who uplifts all beings. Those who gain this vision are supremely fortunate and their wishes succeed. The guru is eternal and unequaled. Approaching the guru cleanses eons of misdeeds. The blessing itself is everything.
"Without Your mercy, no one can cross the ocean of worldly existence."
"Those who will have a darśan of you, Gurudev, they will be the greatest, and they will all the time have concentration and feeling for God."

This place is a sanctuary of purity and spiritual well-being. It is full of prāṇa and very good for health, as our environment here is clean and free from chemicals. The natural water flows, the healthy trees, and the pure air create a healing atmosphere. People recover from ailments and stress through meditation, prāṇāyāma, and satsaṅg. This is a retreat from the modern world's pollution and materialism. We observe that modern comforts and money often lead to loss and dissatisfaction, unlike the simple, pure life here. The ashram fosters positive community, spiritual practice, and a return to natural living. It is a place for healing, happiness, and reconnecting with essential purity.
"All 24 hours and in every direction, we are very clean, with no chemicals inside. This is very much our heritage, our health."

How to practise Pranayama correctly
8:30 - 9:03 (33 min)
Prāṇāyāma requires balancing the Iḍā and Piṅgalā nāḍīs. Incorrect practice blocks the breath flow and disrupts this balance. The Ājñā Chakra between the eyebrows must be stabilized. Practice must be systematic and consider the practitioner's condition, avoiding certain postures for those with health issues. The body has 72,000 nāḍīs, with Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā being principal. Prāṇāyāma purifies these channels. Begin by purifying the left Iḍā Nāḍī first to avoid imbalance. Place two fingers on the Ājñā Chakra. Close the right nostril with the thumb, inhale and exhale through the left. Then switch. This is Nāḍī Śodhana. After purification, practice Nāḍī Vedanā by inhaling through one nostril and exhaling through the other. This connects the prāṇa energy. Then practice Anuloma Viloma to bring balance. Practice diligently for a long time. Theory without practice is insufficient. The energy moves from the brain through the chakras to the Mūlādhāra. Proper purification is crucial to prevent forcing air into the nāḍīs, which can cause harm. Balance the solar and lunar channels. Progress through the chakras systematically for the kuṇḍalinī to awaken correctly.
"The key is to balance the Sūrya and Chandra Nāḍīs."
"Therefore, abhyāsa, abhyāsa, kaunte abhyāsa."

Concentration on Alakh Puriji
9:10 - 9:35 (25 min)
A meditation on becoming one with the divine energy within and without the body.
Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Concentrate on your whole body, from head to legs and back. Focus on each part. Today, concentrate on Alak Purījī. Become your being completely thyself, for Alak Purījī is within and without. Be within this energy completely. Relax every part of your body, but remain present within it. In each part, you can feel prāṇa, power, divine light, and Alak Purījī. All is Alak Purījī’s energy. Expand thyself, but only as Alak Purījī. Do not open your eyes, for that means you have lost yourself. Becoming one is not easy, but the practice is given to continue for many years. Conclude by chanting five times in the whole body, rubbing the palms, placing them on the face, and then opening the eyes.
"In and out, all is Alak Purījī’s energy."
"Be thyself, no colors, no anything, Alak Purījīs."

Shiva is the light
9:40 - 10:50 (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.'"

Life is one
10:55 - 11:54 (59 min)
Life is eternal, and the science of chakras reveals our fundamental oneness.
Life is endless. The physical body is a temporary layer, like a garment changed, but the life within does not die. The true self is layered like an onion; peeling back the layers reveals the essential Ātmā. All existence is one, like countless drops from a single ocean. These drops—steam, fog, rain, rivers—ultimately merge back into the oceanic source. Our perceived separation is an illusion. The process of realizing this unity is yoga: the eternal harmony, balance, and union between consciousness and space. All beings share this one life. Impurities of thought create bondage, so purification is essential to merge into the immortal ocean within. Chakras are centers mapping this journey from individuality to oneness.
"Life is ever life. Death is ever death. So we are life, and we will always be life."
"Yoga means union. Yoga means union. There are only two. Yoga. And so there is between this, so that means that yoga is eternal."

In the end everything will be counted
13:55 - 14:50 (55 min)
Yoga is a science for human well-being. Observing practitioners during the pandemic revealed that those maintaining a vegetarian lifestyle within a specific community were largely unaffected, unlike many general yoga practitioners. This points to lifestyle's role in health. Yoga's techniques, like Brahmari Prāṇāyāma, are often derived from nature. This practice uses a humming breath to create internal vibrations, addressing issues like headaches and tension. It requires correct posture and breath from the navel. Practice is foundational, but yoga extends beyond physical techniques to a deeper connection within. The true guide removes obstacles, allowing inner potential to unfold, and does not claim the role of doer.
"Those who were not eating eggs, meat, alcohol, drugs, etc., they were not affected."
"Brahmari Prāṇāyāma affects the whole body. The inner vibration can restore the health of the body itself."

Fire is God
14:55 - 15:51 (56 min)
The subject is the many forms of fire, from physical to spiritual. The fire for cooking is sacred, belonging to Annapūrṇā, the goddess of nourishment. The kitchen is her temple, requiring purity in thought and action. Respect the seeds of food, which are life. Another fire is within the body, essential for life and digestion. The ceremonial fire of Yajña purifies and protects. The fire of cremation purifies the soul, and the fire of a forest burn demands respect. The internal fires of jealousy and anger are destructive and must be calmed. Fire exists even in water, as all elements are interconnected. In Haṭha Yoga, practices like Agnisāra awaken and balance the internal fire for health. The body is divine and must be cared for without yielding to anger.

15:55 - 16:55 (60 min)
The unity of all beings resides in the divine. Different paths and names lead to the same truth. All are coming to the Guru's grace. The soul is one, like a drop returning to the ocean. The physical body and worldly possessions are temporary and left behind. All humans, animals, and life are to be respected equally. A realized yogi lives in divine joy, seeing no difference between stone and diamond, beyond all dualism and desire. That yogi lives in the world as if dead to the ego, immersed in emptiness and peace. The essential practice is to be humble, loving, and without anger, recognizing our shared humanity and spiritual origin.
"Like the ocean, we know how much water is in the ocean. And it goes up in the air nicely."
"This yogi is living, but inside he is dead. He lives as if he is dead, but he lives, because there is nothing in him, there is only emptiness."

The Human Path: Family, Culture, and Daily Yoga
19:00 - 19:51 (51 min)
The human path integrates family, culture, and daily spiritual practice. Recent times brought families physically together, revealing a prior separation as children moved away for study and work, leading to a loss of cultural continuity. Modern life further separates parents from children, who are often left in others' care. One parent should be present to impart culture and religion. The family home should be peaceful, without conflict or harmful habits. The pandemic reinforced being together, though it brought hardship. It is a time to maintain cultural and religious practices. Yoga in Daily Life teaches a pure, vegetarian lifestyle, which is the science of being human. To be a yogi is to first be human. The daily practice begins upon waking: acknowledge being human, honor the earth and your mother, and use water reverently as it is life and divine. Greet others with sacred recognition. Your workplace is also a family. Live as a lamp for your family. A true guru guides the soul to the cosmic self, beyond mere skill instruction. Holy figures should be respected in complete form.
"Yoga is the science of the human being. To a yogī, that is it. You are a yogī. If you want to become a yogī, you have to become a human."
"Water is life... water is God. We should not destroy water or spill it here and there."

Instructions for practising
19:55 - 20:46 (51 min)
The foundation of practice is knowledge, discipline, and adaptation. Each posture has a specific effect, and the sequence is crucial. When you adopt a system, you must follow its fixed procedures. However, you must know your own bodily capacity and limitations. If a posture causes pain or is contraindicated for your condition, you must avoid it. This is an individual matter. The teacher's first duty is to know what to do and what not to do for themselves and their students. Practice must be consistent; knowledge unused is lost. Yoga is a comprehensive science for mastering oneself, not merely physical movements. You must preserve and transmit knowledge, otherwise it perishes.
"Every yoga teacher's first duty and priority is to know what to do and what not to do for themselves."
"Knowledge must be renewed daily; otherwise, we are lost."

Yoga and the five bodies

The individual is the king of the kingdom constituted by the five sheaths: the physical, energetic, mental, wisdom, and bliss bodies. Within this kingdom exist the ten sense organs and countless beings like cells and habits. The king, the soul, must govern through discipline, not become enslaved by citizens like negative habits or uncontrolled senses. Negligence leads to the kingdom's illness and disintegration. Mastery requires balancing the body and mind through the vital energy, cultivated by pure living, mantra, and meditation. Discipline is the foundation of yoga.
