Bhajan Singing from Jadan
5:25 - 6:35|Recorded on 21 Feb 2023
A musical offering explores devotion through raga and sacred verse. The performance weaves classical composition with devotional poetry. It presents the longing of Meera, who found divine nectar in poison. It shares Kabir's metaphor of the body as a finely woven garment dyed in divine essence. The inquiry asks who truly comes and goes in this world of light and illusion. The teaching asserts that only the true Guru's name endures, while all else is transient. The offering culminates in universal salutations to the divine in all forms.
"Rana ne vish diya, mano amrit piya. Mira saagar me sarita samaane lagi."
"Santa, kun re āve re, kun jāye bole re? Jaari khabar karo."

The Vajranāḍī is the root of immunity and the regulator of prāṇa. Yogic science describes a network of 72,000 nāḍīs through which prāṇa, or life energy, flows. Modern medical science often conflicts with this view, denying the existence of these channels and the central nāḍīs: Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā. Blockages in these energy pathways cause disease. The Vajranāḍī is crucial; it functions like an electrical earth, balancing the system and controlling all other nāḍīs. Its health is governed from the Maṇipūra Cakra at the navel. When the Vajranāḍī is weak, prāṇa flow diminishes, leading to blockages and illness. Prāṇāyāma purifies these channels. Specific practices like Vajrāsana and toe movements strengthen the Vajranāḍī, which is vital for immunity. The sound and nectar of creation originate from the navel. All bodily functions are guided by prāṇa, which is the essence of life.
"Guru caraṇo me yād sat tīrat hai, wo Veda purāṇa me gāte hai."
"The Vajranāḍī in the body controls all the nerves, 72,000, and that functions like earthing for electricity."

Yoga is a lifelong practice for body, mind, and spirit. It is an ancient science for health and self-realization, not merely physical exercise. Many misunderstand it, turning it commercial, but true yoga overcomes stress and brings peace. It is for all ages and walks of life, a daily system like eating or breathing. Practice must be balanced, without competition or strain, and includes postures, breath, and meditation. Breath harmonizes the body, and the heart works loyally; we must care for it. The body is a temple for the inner self, which dislikes aggression and falsity. Spirituality is devotion—a higher, respectful love—not a temporary, misused emotion. True devotion leads to oneness and God realization, harmonizing life and family.

The Path of Grace and Guidance
8:35 - 9:35

From: 12 Apr 2025
The path requires grace, guidance, and consistent practice. Begin by invoking divine protection and wisdom, bowing to the teacher who embodies it. The master provides knowledge of the highest state and the systematic practice to realize it within. Progress slowly and continuously, crossing inner obstacles like thoughts and feelings to clarify consciousness. The outer world with its changing desires easily pulls one down, so a guide who knows the safe way is essential. Repeating the divine name connects one to the highest energy, liberating from ignorance and false identification. Worldly pursuits are transient and disappointing, while the inner Self offers complete fulfillment. Divine grace manifests through the master, whose presence transforms the disciple, establishing an eternal, fearless connection within, even amidst outer life.
"Practice what you receive. Practice the system, do it systematically, and do it slowly so that you will cross inward."
"Repeat the name of God... This we can repeat, and with this energy we are connected to the highest."

A journey within begins by relaxing the body and observing the breath. Contemplate the five elements within. Space exists inside and outside; feel at ease within it. Air, or prāṇa, purifies the body and can remove illness with concentrated will. Inner fire, or agni, balances temperature and burns away toxins. The water element flows through tissues, supplying minerals and expelling impurities. The earth element, the bones, provides a frame. These elements within can become polluted by the external world. Purify them through sāttvic food, yoga postures, prāṇāyāma, and meditation. Body awareness is life awareness; health depends on clean, balanced elements. Bring awareness to any area of pain or illness. Direct breath and the elements—air, fire, space, water—to that area to balance and heal. This self-inquiry meditation can be done seated. Many bodily problems stem from personal mistakes like wrong diet or substances, but they can be repaired through yoga, meditation, and a balanced diet. Make a resolve to heal the body and mind through these elements and practices. Love and protect nature. Decide for a healthy, strong body and a long life.
"Body awareness means life awareness. The body is here, you are here."
"Strive to purify with sāttvic food... Pure quality gives more quality to your life."
