Morning Yoga practice from the international Yoga retreat Umag, Croatia on 28th of September 2010.

A spiritual discourse exploring karma and liberation through two illustrative stories. "The soul in this cobra was a great bhakta, a dedicated scholar. But he did not yet renounce his goal... he has gone through his karma, and now it is time for him to be granted Mokṣa, liberation." "If someone slaps you, then you are to blame, not the other who slaps you... You were there, that is how it is. Therefore, accept what happens." The speaker narrates two parables to explain the effect of karma on the soul. The first describes how the sage Mahāprabhujī liberated the soul of an old cobra, revealing it was a former devotee working through its karma. The second tells of Saint Sagramdās, who encounters a camel bearing the karma of a cruel tax collector. Through these stories, the discourse emphasizes that beings reap the consequences of their actions across lifetimes, and that selfless service (Sevā) is the supreme path to lightening one's karmic burden.

A spiritual discourse on the soul's journey, karma, and the five sheaths of being. "When this all went back to the astral world, it was not easy... All the time in the astral world, the certain situation of the karma, the destiny, is going on." "God has given the humans that 'I give you the freedom. Now I liberate you.' But there is a 'but.' Whatever you will do again, you have to face the karma." A spiritual teacher delivers a satsang, explaining the cycle of birth, death, and karma across the astral and mortal worlds.

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

A spiritual discourse on universal oneness and the nature of the divine path. "If a God says, 'Do not worship that God,' then neither is that God right, nor are you good. We have to come to oneness." "The drop is not there. I am not a drop. I am the ocean. Similarly, we are in that condition. But you are still not near the beach of the ocean."

He emphasizes that a true guru or God would never forbid the worship of another, advocating for a non-sectarian devotion.

Swami Ji explains the five layers of human existence, beginning with the food sheath (Annamaya Kośa).

A spiritual discourse on living in the present moment and the nature of past, present, and future. "Therefore, it is at present. Be in the present." "So the past is gone. The present is here. But you think, 'In the future, I will also get this.' But you will not get it. That’s it." An instructor addresses a group, advising them to release attachment to past experiences and future anxieties.
