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."

A cooking demonstration on preparing Marwa-style gāṭṭā kadhi, chapati, and regional vegetables. "When I was thinking about how to explain or show the gāṭṭā... it came to my mind that it is like the attachment of this world. When we touch the besan dough, it sticks very quickly. Then we use the oil of wisdom, which gets rid of the attachment." "The Marwa kitchen has very, very delicious food—spicy, tasty, healthy, and very natural. The people living there eat only regional food. They know the leaves and fruits growing in their area." The speaker guides viewers through making kadhi with chickpea flour dumplings (gāṭṭā), using the sticky dough as a metaphor for worldly attachment.

"The most dangerous pollution is in the human mind. And that mind is so polluted, and of course, everyone is proud of that—how much my mind is polluted." Swami Madhavan Ji delivers an evening talk, beginning with the science of breath (Pūrak, Rechak, Kumbhak) and the sacredness of Sanskrit. He expands the theme to describe a profound chain of pollution: of the Earth, our physical bodies through toxins, and finally our minds through negative thoughts. He presents yoga and prāṇāyāma as the essential science to purify these layers, explaining how breathwork balances the Ida and Pingala nadis and burns away karmic impurities, ultimately leading to unity with Brahman.
