A spiritual discourse on the importance of discernment in seeking a true guru, illustrated with cautionary tales. "Sometimes we just follow people by seeing their work, but not by understanding what they really are doing, and we follow blindly." "It’s very important to find a real Satguru Dev, because nowadays, as we know, it’s Kali Yuga, and in Kali Yuga people are not so nice as they were once upon a time." A speaker addresses a gathering, warning against blind faith in the spiritual search. He emphasizes the necessity of finding a genuine guru from an authentic lineage, contrasting this with self-serving imposters. He shares two parables: one about a blind sadhu whose devotional offering is eaten by a cat, leading to an unexamined ritual tradition, and another about a deceitful, nose-less fake guru who exploits disciples.

A spiritual lecture on Kuṇḍalinī, chakras, and the purpose of human life. "Yoga is the science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul. Yoga without spirituality is like a body without a soul." "Chakra is that which is purifying our body, mind, and consciousness. Chakra has to be purified through practice of mantra, prayers, or some yogic kriyās. Then the kuṇḍalinī will awake." The teacher continues a multi-day seminar, delving into the nature of human consciousness through the lens of Kuṇḍalinī energy and the chakra system. He explains the five layers of the body (kośas), the persistence of karma using an analogy of salt in water, and the symbolism of the Mūlādhāra chakra—its red color, lotus imagery, and four petals representing the four aims of life: dharma, artha, kāma, and mokṣa. The discourse expands into themes of universal love, friendship, and living in the world with detachment, like a lotus in water. Filming location: Australia
