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 lecture on the nature of the mind, subconscious impressions, and yogic philosophy. "Our senses are mostly connected to and work with the consciousness, the awakened state." "The mind is that principle which functions between the conscious and subconscious, pendling up and down." The teacher provides a detailed explanation of how sensory impressions become stored desires in the subconscious, using the analogy of an unfulfilled ice cream craving manifesting in a dream. He describes the mind as a pendulum between conscious and subconscious levels, warning against blocking mental energy and instead advocating for directing it through self-discipline. The talk expands into the relationship between emotion, intellect, consciousness, and the nadis (Ida, Pingala, Sushumna), linking psychological concepts to the chakra system and the dormant energy of kundalini.

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 prāṇāyāma and the interconnectedness of life, addressing modern pollution. "To pollute the earth is a sin. It means you pollute Mother Earth." "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.

Swami Anand Arun explains the essential role of a spiritual guide (guru), using analogies like learning to drive.

A spiritual guide introduces the sacred sites of the Khattu region and the Khaṭu Praṇām practice. "The Śrī Vijñāna Dīpa Gītā... was spoken by Mahāprabhujī under that banyan tree." "When we say Khaṭu Praṇām, our salutation automatically goes to Mahāprabhujī—to those heels on which Mahāprabhujī walked." The speaker describes Khattu as the primary residence of Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, highlighting specific holy sites like the banyan tree and the Dhūnī of Devapurījī. He traces the spiritual lineage from the Himalayas to Khattu and explains the purpose of the Khaṭu Praṇām, a sequence of ten movements, as a salutation that connects practitioners to this spiritual energy.

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