Mantra Purifies
A satsang discourse on the chakras, energy, and the practice of Yoga Nidrā.
"The subject is the cakras and kuṇḍalinī, the hidden powers in humans."
"Gurudev... said Bhagavān Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī said that Yoga Nidrā, the technique of Yoga Nidrā, is the solution, that one can release from this and target all the energy, negative and positive, towards the divine."
The lecturer leads the evening satsang, explaining the nature of chakras as non-physical energy centers and their relationship to physical health and emotional states like anger and offense. He narrates a parable about a farmer's dream to illustrate the witness consciousness beyond waking, dream, and deep sleep states. The discourse emphasizes purifying energy through devotion and the specific practice of Yoga Nidrā, which redirects energy toward the divine. He also discusses the yogic aspects of Islamic prayer and answers a listener's question on visualizing chakras in the energy body, not the physical spine.
