Practicing of the system "Yoga in Daily Life", Level 1 - Part 6, in Om Vishwa Deep Gurukul Swami Maheshwaranand Ashram, Jadan, Rajasthan, India on 24th of October 2009.

A spiritual discourse on the inner light and the practice of trāṭaka. "Our soul, our ātmā, comes into our body from the cosmic energies. It is like water from the ocean that rises to become clouds, and from the clouds, dripping water falls to the earth and flows onward." "Even the green grass, even any trees, bushes, all creatures—everyone has eyes, and they are all looking with their light toward their destination. Therefore, all our trees also have their eyes, and that is concentration, what we call trāṭaka." The speaker addresses a gathering of practitioners, explaining the journey of the soul and the universal presence of inner sight. He shares teachings received from his Gurudeva, using the metaphor of a seed's growth and a story about a guru's astral rescue of a devotee to illustrate the power of focused awareness (trāṭaka) and the spiritual significance of the navel (nābhi) as a point of energy and re-entry.

A spiritual discourse on Śiva consciousness, discernment in companionship, and a teaching parable. "You are called Śivamaya, and many problems disappear. At home, many conditions arise, but here they vanish." "A wise one will never put a question, because the wise are wise. Who puts the question? The ignorant, because they do not know." The lecturer leads a satsang, explaining how entering a sacred space like Strelky during Śivarātri fills one with a divine aura. He emphasizes the importance of keeping company with spiritual people and avoiding negative influences (kusanga). He shares a long, illustrative parable about a princess seeking a wise husband, which involves a shepherd, a game of chess, and a mystical cat, ultimately conveying lessons on wisdom, silence, and destiny. The talk concludes with a promotion for an upcoming pilgrimage to Ujjain. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A spiritual discourse on the chakra system and the qualities needed for self-realization. "Spiritual practice means not only just to sit and meditate and practice mantras, but to change inner feelings. Humbleness is one of the best parts of spirituality." "Dayā dharam kā mūl hai, pāp mūl hai abhimān... the roots of the dharma, right-house-ness, is the mercy. And the roots of the sins is the ego." Swami Brahmapuri leads a satsang, continuing a series on the chakras. He transitions from discussing the foundational Mūlādhāra Chakra to explaining the Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra. The core teaching outlines five spiritual qualities—Vairāgya (detachment), Tyāga (renunciation), Bhakti (devotion), Jñāna (knowledge), and Dayā (mercy)—as the means to overcome negative obstacles like desire and anger. He illustrates these principles with stories of Krishna and Shiva, and gives practical advice, including how to care for a rudrākṣa bead. Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

"The Mahāmaṇḍaleśvaras are designated solely to look after all sannyāsīs and ashrams... to solve their problems, protect them, look after them." The speaker describes the sacred origins of Prayagraj (Allahabad) as a nectar-drop site and a river confluence. He details the annual and quadrennial Kumbh Melas, their timing at Makar Saṅkrānti, and the purposes of pilgrimage, ritual bathing, and societal discourse.

"These five kośas, one after the other, Annamaya kośa, prāṇamaya kośa, manomaya kośa, vijñānamaya kośa, ānandamaya kośa."

A spiritual discourse and mantra teaching session on the power of language, respect, and energy. "Spirituality does not mean wholly very slow... But with this different energy inside, just try to be aware of this thing: in which way are we addressing other people?" "You get from an object only as much as you respect it... If your mālā has some value for you, you will keep it in a safe place... Because of that, you will, from your mālā, get energy when you need it." A speaker leads a satsang, emphasizing the profound impact of words, gestures, and intention. He discusses how language shapes reality, using examples from addressing others to serving food and respecting spiritual objects like a mala.

A spiritual discourse on yoga philosophy, the nature of the self, and the path to oneness. "Our life, as we said, is a destiny and a journey. It is a journey; the destination is still not there." "In Ātmā, in the self, there are no dualities; there is only oneness. So where there is heaven and hell, there is life and death... that's what we want to come out of, to become one with the highest, with our Self." Swami Anand Arun delivers an extensive teaching, exploring the journey beyond dualities like life/death and divine/demonic energies. He explains core concepts of Ātmā, karma, and the three guṇas, detailing the system of senses (indriyas), vital energies (prāṇas), and channels (nāḍīs). The talk defines yoga as union, clarifies traditional Haṭha Yoga, and maps the subtle body's chakras, concluding with anecdotes about advanced practices like Khecharī Mudrā and the nectar of immortality.

A discourse on the subtle energy systems of yoga, including chakras, nāḍīs, and the mind. "The chakras are a methodological representation. You will not see this exact picture if you look within your own body, so do not try to see it literally." "The mind is a river; we should not block it. If we block a dam, we must provide an outlet. Without an outlet, the dam will break and cause greater harm. The mind needs direction." The teacher provides a detailed explanation of the chakra and nāḍī (energy channel) system, relating it to human physiology, the elements, and life metaphors like a leaf separating from a tree. Key themes include the symbolic nature of chakras, the function of the Iḍā and Piṅgalā nāḍīs, the dangers of improperly awakening kuṇḍalinī energy, and how suppressed emotions manifest as physical ailments.

It is important to see what we are and what we are not." A speaker leads a satsang, questioning the identity of the practitioner within yoga and life. Using a stream-of-consciousness style, they contemplate the names of yoga postures, the elements composing the body, and phenomena like airplanes and light to point toward a transcendent Self.
