How to get freedom
A spiritual discourse on the power of the word "Jaya" and the Maṇipūra Cakra.
"Jaya means victory. Victory over what? Victory over negative energy, and victory for spirituality, for harmony, for peace, for brightness—everything."
"The Maṇipūra Cakra is the center of our body, the center of the universe, the center of our consciousness, and our origin—how we begin to develop in this worldly saṁsāra."
A spiritual teacher explains the meaning of "Jaya" as a selfless blessing and victory over negativity, linking its vocalization to awakening the Maṇipūra Cakra. He describes this energy center as the seat of sound and origin of life, using an extended allegory of being trapped in worldly illusion (prapañca) to illustrate the need to call for help. The talk covers themes of health, traditional cooking as medicine, and includes a recounting of the story of Hanumān fetching the Sañjīvanī herb, ultimately connecting physical well-being and spiritual practice to the health of the Maṇipūra Cakra.
