Meeting of the past and present
0:10 - 1:59 (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."

The Human Path: Family, Culture, and Daily Yoga
3:05 - 3:56 (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."

Welcoming Address and Valedictory Session on Yoga for Wellness
4:00 - 5:08 (68 min)
Yoga for wellness is the subject, moving from practice to integration for national health.
Yoga has gained global acceptance, increasing India's responsibility. The conference aims to establish policy parameters. Yoga is about holistic wellness, not merely cure. Two key features emerged: the need for integration between traditional and modern medicine, and the need for scientific evidence on yoga's impact on specific diseases. Integration must move beyond co-location to active cross-referrals. The ultimate aim is to use yoga to reduce the number of patients. Generating robust scientific evidence is crucial for global acceptability. The presence of both traditional and modern practitioners signifies the desired integration.
"Yoga is not just about a cure. It is about health, overall well-being, and wellness." "We need to generate scientific evidence about the value of yoga if we want true acceptability."

Live in a natural way
5:15 - 5:57 (42 min)
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."
"In every country, for all people, there must be yoga in daily life. There must not be yoga."

The Ring, The Doubt, and The Satsang
6:00 - 6:13 (13 min)
The ego of the devotee and the poison of doubt are overcome only by divine grace and sacred fellowship. Hanumān delivered a ring from Rāma to a saint, who threw it into a well. Hanumān was angered by this perceived disrespect. The saint then asked him to retrieve it, and Hanumān brought up a handful of identical rings. The saint revealed that with each divine incarnation, such a ring is sent; the devotee is merely the instrument, not the cause of victory. Separately, Garuḍa was afflicted by doubt, which destroys spirituality. He sought help from Nārada, who sent him to Śiva. Śiva stated he could not help directly but prescribed the medicine of Satsaṅg—the fellowship of the enlightened. Garuḍa was directed to the sage Kāk Bhuśuṇḍi. As he approached, his doubts vanished and his faith was restored. Śiva later explained this taught the supreme importance of Satsaṅg and the surrender of ego. One must never lose faith, for without it, one is helpless against life's trials.
"Through this, through the blessings of the Holy One, victory is achieved in the world. You were only a medium, an instrument; you are not the doer yourself."
"Your illness can only be healed by one medicine, and that medicine is Satsaṅg. There you will lose your doubts again, and your faith, your trust, will return once more."

Bhajan evening in Jadan Ashram
7:20 - 8:02 (42 min)
The light that upholds the universe is the Guru, the cause of crossing life's ocean. You are that light, upholding divine honor. Meeting the Lord is the greatest honor, sanctifying life through endless cycles. The Guru bestows the jewel of the Supreme Sovereign. Practice Japa and remain absorbed in meditation on the Self to attain Nirvāṇa. Applying yourself to meditation destroys the sorrows of birth. All desired tasks are accomplished, and life becomes successful. For a moment's Darśana, one studies for hundreds of births; the Guru strengthens faith, and the devotee swiftly crosses the ocean of existence.
"If you practice Japa, remain absorbed in meditation on the Self, you will attain the state of Nirvāṇa."
"For the sake of a moment's Darśana, one studies scriptures and sūtras for hundreds of births."

There is God in your instruments
8:10 - 8:50 (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."

Concentration on Alakh Puriji
8:55 - 9:20 (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."

Hanumanji
9:25 - 9:51 (26 min)
The divine play between God and devotee involves tests to purify ego.
God and devotee are ultimately one, appearing in two forms to enact a divine play. Hanuman, an incarnation of Shiva, is the perfect devotee of Rama, an incarnation of Vishnu. After Rama's victory, he tasked Hanuman with remaining on Earth to protect devotees. One day, while Hanuman chanted Rama's name, he reflected on his own indispensable deeds in Rama's mission. Sensing this rising ego, Rama devised a lesson. He praised Hanuman extensively and then gave him a simple duty: to deliver a ring to a sage in the Himalayas. Hanuman journeyed there and found the sage, who instructed him to throw the ring into a water pond. When Hanuman hesitated, the sage told him to retrieve it. Hanuman found the pond filled with identical rings. The sage explained that each ring represented a past divine incarnation, and Vishnu performed similar heroic deeds through each. Hanuman's great feats were not unique but part of the eternal divine play, accomplished through divine grace. The lesson was to dissolve the devotee's ego.
"Hanuman, whenever Vishnu incarnates on this earth, he has to pay the tax."
"Go and say to Rāma that... 'Your duty is finished, now you can go back.'"

How shall we go further?
9:55 - 10:55 (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."

In the end everything will be counted
11:00 - 11:55 (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
12:00 - 12:56 (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.
"Annapūrṇā, where there is, we have everything."
"Eighty percent of our diseases are because our agni is not active."

Every soul is pure
13:00 - 13:53 (53 min)
The truth is unchanging reality, while the world is temporary illusion. From childhood, we inquire into our nature, yet remain in ignorance, claiming superiority over others. Only Brahman is real; this world is like a soap bubble. Our inner instrument, the antaḥkaraṇa, consists of mind, intellect, awareness, and ego. When purified, it leads to liberation. Every soul is pure but coated by karma and destiny. We must love all beings, for a tiny soul contains immense power. Social education requires understanding time and place, acting with positive intention. In the end, we face truth alone; our worldly companions and fears fall away. What is everlasting is real.
"Brahma satyaṁ, jagan mithyā. Only Brahman is the truth. And this jagat is mithyā."

Life is one
14:00 - 14:59 (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."

The Science of Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras
16:10 - 16:55 (45 min)
The science of kuṇḍalinī and cakras is the definitive path to the highest consciousness, requiring a genuine guru from a true lineage. This knowledge is endless and encompasses all yoga practices. The deities and stories are symbolic representations of this inner science, not literal. For instance, the tale of Kṛṣṇa and the gopīs symbolizes that the human body is a divine gift; without spiritual practice, one loses this "dress" and is reborn in an animal form. Another story of Viṣṇu and Lakṣmī tests a devotee's greed, showing that worldly prosperity can distract from true devotion. These are teaching tools. Kuṇḍalinī is not about sexuality; tantra rightly means expanding consciousness to liberate oneself. All reality exists within the human body and being.
"Kṛṣṇa did not take that dress away. That dress is His skin."
"Tan means expand. And 'trā' means 'to liberate.' Expand your consciousness."

Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 1 - Part 3
17:00 - 17:53 (53 min)
A morning yoga practice guides the body and mind through relaxation, breath, and movement. Begin by chanting Oṁ to purify the atmosphere. Lie down and consciously relax every part of the body from the toes to the crown of the head. Observe the natural breath. Practice the three components of full yoga breathing: abdominal, chest, and clavicular. Combine them into a single, wave-like breath. Perform gentle stretches and movements synchronized with inhalation and exhalation. These include arm raises, diagonal stretches, and poses like Pavanamuktāsana and Navāsana. Practice side bends and rotations for the wrists and hips. Conclude with standing balances and a final relaxation. Observe the difference in sensation from the beginning to the end of practice. Finish with Prāṇāyāma and the chanting of Oṁ.
"Relax all the muscles of your right foot without moving; let the relaxation occur in your mind."
"Influence your breath and feel how the abdomen expands with inhalation and contracts with exhalation."

The Purpose of Human Life
18:00 - 18:49 (49 min)
Chakras are centers within us, akin to tiny points where everything exists. We call them lotuses, the king of flowers, which grow in muddy water and open at dawn during Brahma Muhurta. This pre-sunrise hour is pure, ideal for spiritual practice and study, as consciousness is gentle and unclouded by the day's dust. Each chakra is a lotus within the body, its petals unfolding light and energy to bring consciousness into your being. With age, like a lotus that cannot fully close, we may lose strength. Yoga's practices—postures, breath, and meditation—help restore vitality. Modern life, with chemical food and manipulated seeds, diminishes our natural energy and health. Chakras exist throughout the body, from feet to head, depicted with lotus petals. Their purpose is purification, rising above past karma like a lotus untouched by dirty water. Humans possess these centers for awakening consciousness to the cosmic, unlike animals. We are born not for hatred but to merge with the divine. Our soul, carrying its karma, is like water that evaporates and rains, eventually returning to the ocean of cosmic self. Good and bad karma must be balanced and left behind through good works and the burdens taken by others. Each chakra holds wisdom and symbols, like the elephant Ganesha, representing essential elements for health. Awakening comes through dedicated practice and meditation, which allows consciousness to expand and contract, moving toward liberation.
"Within that point, everything exists; we are inside it."
"Our soul, our life, our individuality, our destiny is with us."

Yoga and the five bodies
18:55 - 20:12 (77 min)
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.

Instructions for practising
21:15 - 22:06 (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."

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.'"
