The power of divine grace operates beyond human intellect and doubt, which flourishes in an age lacking spiritual education. Global education systems omit ethics and brotherhood, leaving holy books unread and causing societal unrest. Religious participation declines as youth are directed toward materialism and white-collar professions, losing connection to nature and service. Thus, the teachings and recorded legacies of saints are essential spiritual injections. A man over fifty, declared medically unable to have children, requested work and a son. A blessing was given spontaneously, not by personal will but through the guru's energy, and a son was born. In another instance, a hunter hid dead birds from a saint, who reproached him for not considering the birds' orphaned young. The saint then restored all the birds to life. He also placed a hen in hot ashes to teach silence; hours later, it emerged unharmed. True saints do not perform acts for fame; miracles occur spontaneously when needed. Their glory is beyond description, and sincere prayer invites their protection. "Everything is Devapurījī." "bade badāī nahīṁ kare—the great never speak greatly of themselves."

True peace is found within, under the divine shelter of faith and surrender. One comes under this shelter by surrendering all responsibility for life to God, which requires complete faith. Without such faith, there is only uncertainty and distraction. Inner peace is the prerequisite for bringing peace to the outside world. This peace is cultivated through prayer, which is a consultation with God, and meditation, which is sitting in God's lap. First, one must purify the inner thieves: attachment, jealousy, anger, desire, greed, delusion, and ego. These afflictions destroy inner peace. Spiritual practitioners work to create a garden of peace, but the mind, like a monkey, quickly destroys it. Therefore, observe and direct the mind, do not try to stop it. See the self in all beings. Fulfill one's debts to parents, teachers, sages, and the divine to find freedom. World peace is only possible through inner peace and universal love. "Whom God wishes to protect, no one can harm, not even a single hair of that person." "If you have peace within you, then you can bring peace outside." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

The Guru's grace can make the impossible possible and remove destined outcomes. A Siddha Puruṣa, Śrī Devapurījī, possessed all twenty-four siddhis which manifested automatically through his presence. He performed intense sādhanā in a Himalayan cave between Kedārnāth and Badrīnāth, a region where divine beings reside. The Pāṇḍavas sought blessings there; Yudhiṣṭhira, accompanied by a dog, was taken to heaven by a divine chariot. The area is the source of the Alaknandā River. Devapurījī's powers included walking through rock, commanding animals, and materializing objects. He granted children to a childless couple and revived deceased children through simple acts. These living disciples attest to these events. The Guru is Parabrahma, capable of all creation. "Anhonī guru kar sake, honī detā mitāī, par brahma gurudev hai, sab kusā detā banāī." "Levitate. My daughter, come. Take." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

Dharma is the essential law of existence, and adhering to it is the human purpose. All elements in creation follow their inherent nature, but humans alone can deviate from their dharma through ignorance. To protect dharma is to be protected by it. The divine principle manifests through service, which is deemed greater than liberation. The sacred name is a potent vehicle for crossing the ocean of worldly illusion. One who is guided by the Guru's word and the divine name is successful, while one guided solely by personal desire suffers. Time is the most precious commodity; it cannot be bought and waits for no one. Every action generates karma, the balancing force between righteousness and unrighteousness, and one's final thoughts reveal the accumulated state of the soul. "Dharma rakṣata rakṣata. If you protect the dharma, then dharma will protect you." "Satguru nām jahāj hai. The name of the Gurudev is the ferry or boat." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

Chapati is a whole wheat, unleavened bread, superior to yeasted bread as yeast can hinder intestinal absorption. The ashram cultivates wheat organically on difficult land, using crop rotation and flood irrigation. An old, reddish wheat variety is used for its higher vitamin content. The grain is sown after Diwali, reaped manually in late March, then threshed, cleaned, and sun-dried. Wheat is ground daily into fresh flour to preserve its prāṇic energy and vitamins, as aged flour loses vitality. Dough is kneaded well and rested. Chapatis are rolled thin and baked on a hot tawa, puffing into a balloon when correctly made. The first chapati is offered selflessly to animals. Food is dedicated to God as prasāda to purify it, fostering a pure mind. Eating is a sattvic ritual, traditionally done with the right hand while seated on the floor. "Flour that is one month old is biologically dead, containing no vitamins or the prāṇic energy present in the grains." "Pure food builds a pure mind, so we must be especially careful to purify our food." Filming location: India

Yoga āsana practice integrates discipline in movement, breath, and awareness for holistic harmony. The practice is systematic, influencing organs, glands, and circulation. It is not mere gymnastics but cultivates physical, mental, and emotional unity. Perform postures with awareness, free from hurry or distress. Maintain fixed hand and foot placements, allowing only the torso to move. Coordinate breath with slow, deliberate motion. Discipline in sequence and relaxation ensures the posture affects body, breath, and mind together. Slow breathing promotes long life, while rushed breath shortens it. Forced breathing exercises are training, not counted within life's breath. "Nothing should be done with distress. Nothing should be done in a hurry." "Slow breathing means long life. Quickly, quickly doing is a short life."

Yoga in daily life is a holistic path for body, mind, and soul, integrating specific practices to alleviate stress and cultivate inner purity. The aim is to be truly present with the body, as we are often disconnected from it. This practice serves as psychic hygiene, clarifying the emotional nature so it becomes calm and reflective, like a serene sea. The system includes expert-designed programs for various needs, such as back pain or joint care, and is applied globally by millions. It requires highly educated teachers who undergo years of training, as teaching carries great responsibility. The approach fosters automatic spiritual development, defined not as religion but as purity and clearness, free from negative thoughts. "Spirituality means purity. When there is purity, you do not have negative thoughts or internal arguments." "In this Vajrāsana posture, when your spinal column is straight, there are very pleasant and beautiful, relaxing feelings in the stomach muscles."

Kali Yuga is the age of action, where karma is primary, yet the foundation is the divine name. This era is defined by activity, but liberation from the ocean of worldly existence and suffering is achieved through remembrance of God's name. The name is the essential support. Personal effort and righteous work are necessary to fulfill human aims, yet without this spiritual foundation, effort is hollow. A story illustrates the supreme value of satsang. A sage's single minute of satsang bore more fruit than another's millennia of austerities, demonstrating the power of truth and association with the wise. Ultimately, after all practices, the eternal truth that remains is the name. Therefore, while action is emphasized, repeating the divine name is the means to cross over. "Kali Yuga is karma-pradhāna, lekin, but Nām Ādhāra." "Sumer, sumer nar hoi bhava pāra, Kali Yuga kevala nāma ādhāra." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

The river of wisdom and the nectar of devotion purify the heart. The Ganga is the Divine Mother who washes away sin. When a saint speaks from wisdom, that flow is Jñāna Gaṅgā. Its resonance cleanses like sacred waters. Similarly, Bhakti Rasa is the essence of devotion, a divine medicine from the heart. To love God is to see His beauty in all creation. Inner conflict is self-torture, like an ingrown nail. This conflict is removed by the wise words of saints or one's own discernment. Devotion must flow to all without limitation, for stagnant love becomes impure. In the end, only regret remains for a life wasted on conflict instead of love. The aim is to serve creation and become one with the Supreme. "To love God means to love all creatures, because God is manifest in every entity." "If you can give anyone anything—any thought, words, feelings—then give love." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

Yoga is the eternal principle of balance and union, older than any religion. It harmonizes space and consciousness, existing within every atom. This knowledge is declared in the Vedas, which contain all truths scientists seek, like the universal sound Oṁkāra. Real yoga begins not with physical practice but with satsaṅg and guidance. To journey beyond the solar system, one requires the passport of the Guru's grace and realized knowledge. All manifested forms are temporary; only consciousness is everlasting. We are here to serve, but no individual acts alone. True unity requires harmony, as discord destroys collective strength. Every thought and action generates karma, an eternal law that governs all, even deities. The ultimate aim is Self-realization, but to transcend the highest levels of existence, one depends solely on the Guru's compassion. "Yoga is that tattva (principle) which balances space and consciousness. Yoga means balance, harmonizing and maintaining the harmony in the universe." "Guru Granth Ko Janiye, Pragyād Gurān Kī Dei. This is not a book. It is an embodiment of Gurudev." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

The real yoga practice is satsaṅg and bhajan. Physical exercises are preliminary steps. Patañjali researched the human phenomenon and understood all problems are in one's thinking. He described vikṣepa, meaning disturbances, which cause kleśa, meaning inner troubles. A sound is not inherently disturbing; the reaction stems from selfishness. Analyze the cause. If someone is repairing a car, consider if it is your car needing repair. This reframing removes the selfish reaction and the noise becomes pleasurable. Vikṣepa creates mental waves called vṛttis. These can be afflictive, creating inner and outer conflict. Practice acts as a protective frame. Inserting foreign exercises into a harmonious system creates imbalance and physical vikṣepa. Yoga practice harmonizes and neutralizes these mental modifications. One must cleanse negative thoughts internally. Positive thoughts lead to the positive; negative thoughts lead to the negative. "Disturbances cause the kleśas." "Through the practice of yoga, you self-neutralize all the vṛttis." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

The Holi festival celebrates the victory of devotion over ego and the churning of our inner consciousness. The story of Hiraṇyakaśipu and his son Prahlāda illustrates that faith protects the devotee. When the king's sister Holikā, who was immune to fire, sat in flames with Prahlāda in her lap, she burned because she acted against dharma, while the devoted child remained unharmed. This symbolizes the burning of negativity. The festival's colors represent the return of joy and a colorful life after truth's victory. The deeper meaning connects to the churning of the cosmic ocean, where both nectar and poison emerged. This churning occurs within us; our spiritual practice purifies the inner ocean to attain the nectar of immortality. Negative tendencies, like the Rākṣasas, crave the poison of power and sensory intoxication, while divine tendencies seek the nectar. True devotion requires unconditional love and the faith that God resides within every heart. "I will be with you at all times, protect you, and it doesn’t matter where you are." "Within you is the fountain of joy and within you is the ocean of bliss." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

The festival of Holī commemorates the divine protection of dharma and the destruction of adharma. Incarnations manifest to restore cosmic order. The Nitya incarnation is constant in saints, while the Naimittika incarnation appears for a specific purpose. King Hiraṇyakaśipu sought physical immortality through tapasyā but was denied by Brahmā. He secured a boon making him seemingly invincible. His son, Prahlāda, was a devoted bhakta who chanted the mahāmantra "Hari Om Tat Sat." The king attempted to kill his son repeatedly, but divine intervention protected the child each time. Ultimately, the Narasiṁha avatāra manifested at twilight, neither man nor animal, at a threshold, to fulfill the boon's conditions and defeat the king. The burning of Holikā symbolizes the destruction of negative forces, while the untouched log represents the protected devotee. Dharma is eternally protected. "Whenever dharma declines and adharma increases, I manifest myself." "Tat is that, and Sat is the truth. Only that is the truth." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

The path of liberation is the journey from karma to pure consciousness. All beings are within the ocean of worldly existence, bound by attachments and actions on earth. Karma is fundamental; it is not negative but the very process of action, from bodily functions to cosmic motion. Stagnant energy creates illness, while flowing energy sustains life. The entire universe is movement and exchange. Pure consciousness is the still, witnessing space within which all energy moves. Divine beings in higher realms assist through their pervasive energy, which is felt as blessings. The goal is to realize oneself as this witness, distinct from the moving energy. Spiritual practice purifies the layers of being to expand consciousness, seeing all within the Self. Ultimately, duality causes conflict; unity brings peace. Life is a process to realize the oneness already present. "Karma pradhāna hai. Karma is very important." "Everything is happening within me. So you are also within me; you are not outside of me."

Ghee is a sacred substance with profound uses from the kitchen to the temple. It is made from the milk of cows that eat natural food. The process begins by turning fresh milk into yogurt, which is then churned to produce butter. This butter is heated to separate the milk solids, leaving pure, golden ghee that can be stored indefinitely. Ghee has a very high smoke point, making it ideal for cooking, and its clarification removes lactose and casein. It is central to Ayurvedic medicine and Hindu rituals, valued for its purity and sattvic quality from the Indian cow. The cow is revered as a mother, and her products are believed to carry healing solar energy. "Ghee is considered a most precious substance because it was first provided by the sacred wish-fulfilling cow." "Its healing properties include increasing intelligence, enhancing memory power, rejuvenating the skin, boosting body energy, and detoxifying the body." Filming location: USA

The universe is spherical, and liberation requires transcending the five sheaths. Ancient seers described a round Earth and a universe of zero, śūnya, without instruments, through pure wisdom. The spiritual journey moves beyond the physical and astral bodies, which are limited to this solar system. The five sheaths, or kośas, must be purified. The physical body is easy to leave, but the energy and mental sheaths are more difficult. The intellectual sheath and the causal body, which holds all karma, are the most binding. Mokṣa is freedom from this causal body. Beyond it, the individual soul dissolves. One then needs divine knowledge, Ātma-jñāna, not intellect, to proceed. This requires complete surrender and the death of ego to enter the śūnyākāśa. Practices like Sudharṣa Kriyā aid this, but any doubt causes failure. It is a path of total commitment, without compromise. "Śiṣya, the disciple, is sleeping in the sleep of ignorance and tamo guṇa and rajo guṇa." "Mokṣa, liberation, ātmajñāna is when this jīvātmā frees from the causal body." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

The inner spiritual garden must be diligently guarded from neglect and pollution. Neglecting practice allows mental dirt and doubt to accumulate, spoiling devotion like lemon curdles milk. A single crack of doubt destroys the resonance of faith and love. The mind is a foolish monkey that can ruin years of spiritual work. Practice without devotion is merely a picture of a horse, unable to carry one forward. Self-inquiry reveals that all faults lie within, not in the external world. Time is passing; one must awaken from laziness and carelessness before the vehicle of death arrives. "Guard your inner garden, your spiritual work." "Practice without devotion is like a picture, a paper horse." Filming locations: Wellington, New Zealand.

Spiritual devotion is the harmonious connection between purity and respectful surrender. Spirituality is crystal-clear purity, the unchangeable eternal truth. Outer purification involves one's environment, consuming limited sattvic food and drink, maintaining clean clothing and living spaces, and keeping disciplined order. Inner purification is positive thinking, forgiveness, and reading inspirational texts rather than negative news. Devotion means respectful surrender to the higher consciousness, without fear, seeing the divine in everyone. It is expressed through humble service, kindness, and protecting others as oneself. Spiritual devotion is active, positive, and harmonious thinking in all relations. "Spiritual devotion does not mean I must pray, 'Oh God, forgive me, my sins.' No, do not fear. God is your best friend." "Spiritual devotion: be good with your friends, be good with your parents, be good with your partners. Come home at a reasonable time."

Satsang with Swamiji from Auckland, NZ.Satsang means to find the truth within oneself and being with the truth. What is temporary, is not the truth. The atman is that truth which is everlasting, immortal and eternal. This can be realized only through the satsang. Great saints made a lot of research work on the spirituality. Spirituality leads us to the atman. The words of that great saints are spoken in the satsang. This is the real knowledge. Knowledge of the material world does not lead us to that aim. Sangha is the community with whom and where we are mostly spending our time. The environment, the atmosphere and the company, this influences our mind and our feelings very much. Go to the satsang. Do not miss this chance of the human life. Protect your path, protect your sadhana and protect your bhakti and devotion.

Nature teaches us to listen and harmonize with our inner self. We complain, but birds and trees accept conditions without protest. Our thoughts shape reality, creating blessing or curse. Nature reflects our consciousness; pain we cause returns to us. Visiting a tree with love, its branches grow toward you. Similarly, our body is divine. Each atom requires kind attention. Anger causes the body to suffer. We must purify ourselves through practices like Sudarśa Kriyā. Going against nature invites a curse, as all pain is a form of curse. Purification brings victory; you need not fight for truth. Prepare yourself with love. "Birds never complain, trees never complain. They know, and they accept." "When you become angry, you don’t know how much your body is suffering." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

Sudharā Kriyā is an ancient practice for inner purification and awakening. This Kriyā originates from the Sapta Ṛṣis and connects to the seven chakras and levels of consciousness within. The practice is not for daily use but for disciplined, occasional application to purify the mind. The primary obstacles are Rāga and Dveṣa—attachment and aversion—which ignite jealousy and inner conflict. These negative qualities arise from fear of loss, whether regarding possessions, status, or relationships. Spiritual practice often intensifies these attachments towards other groups or beliefs. True contentment comes from within, not external accumulation. The purpose of Sudharā Kriyā is to cleanse these tendencies and reveal inner peace and self-knowledge. One must self-assess readiness for such practice. "Every reaction you have towards something is your inner nature awakening." "Your Rāga and Dveṣa are towards other beliefs, towards other groups."

Sudhāra Kriyā is a practice for purifying the inner self and balancing body, mind, intellect, and emotion. It is connected to a sāttvic vegetarian diet, with raw foods noted for being easily accepted by the body. This Kriyā influences the gland systems and supports immunity, beneficial for health and spiritual development. Many practice various religions or spiritualities for years without cleansing their inner being. A story illustrates this: one monk carried a woman across a river, but his brother carried the memory of it for years, showing how the mind holds onto impressions. If you cannot purify your inner self, external practices alone will not end suffering. You must turn away from negative influences. Only you can help yourself; you are your own obstacle or agent of destruction. This Kriyā aims to restore a normal way of thinking and purify the inner instrument. "Sudhara’s Kriya is to balance body, mind, intellect, and emotion, and to purify the Kośas, to clear the consciousness." "If you cannot clear your inner self in a positive way, it does not matter how many holy books you read... you will always be the same suffering person." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

Sudharas Kriya is a powerful discipline for purification. This Kriya originates from divine transmission and aligns the practitioner with universal harmony. All movement in creation is Kriya; imbalance within this causes disaster. Dormant powers within human consciousness, when unbalanced, lead to personal tragedy. This practice requires immense inner faith and strict discipline, as even a small mistake can awaken energies negatively. It is not merely intellectual knowledge but requires direct experiential understanding. The practice involves tuning the subtle system, harmonizing like a musician aligns with the correct time and melody. Two primary obstacles exist: rāga, meaning attachment or jealousy, and its counterpart, dveṣa or aversion. From these arise a chain of negative qualities: kāma, krodha, lobha, moha, and ahaṁkāra. The remedy is vairāgya, cultivating a detached vision that transforms perception from negative to positive. One must learn to refuse these inner negativities. The Kriya is performed as a sacred saṅkalpa during specific lunar cycles, demanding a perfectly pure heart and mind for safe practice. "A true musician will never play a morning rāga in the evening, even if offered a lot of money." "You can buy the instruments, the tools; you can buy the books... But when you want to ride the horse, you can ride only the real horse which is in the field, not the one on the paper." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

The festival is a daily inner ceremony for the self. People prepare for holy festivals long in advance, and this preparation imprints the consciousness regardless of commercial intent. Similarly, our daily actions with body, mind, and speech affect the soul and our journey. Past lives determine present circumstances, but dwelling on the past is futile. What is gone is gone; we must work for the future now. The external ritual of washing a Shiva Lingam symbolizes the internal cleaning of our consciousness. This inner ceremony must be performed daily through disciplined practice. Without it, pollution accumulates as desires and aversions, leading to anger, jealousy, and weakness of the nervous system. Our spiritual practice is the awakening of divine consciousness within. Do not change the altar of your heart. Make every day a festival through mental worship and discipline. "Therefore the sādhanā, śayam or niyam. Niyamit, sayamit, so discipline and regularly doing our sādhanā is that ceremony, that is the Śiva pūjā." "Every day is a golden day for the saints and yogīs."

This gathering focuses on the power of Śiva chants and devotion. The decorated Śivaliṅga embodies divine artistry. Salutations are offered to the remover of obstacles, the blue-throated lord of the universe. The single-syllable mantra, chanted with devotion, grants Śiva’s presence and ends sorrow. Mother Gāyatrī is praised by moon and sun, ever honored without obstacles. Past bondage dissolves and death is transcended through Śiva’s grace. The Mahāmṛtyuñjaya mantra liberates from death’s grip. Repeated chanting of Namaḥ Śivāya purifies the mind. When the mind becomes pure, Mahādeva awakens pure intellect. Living in truth brings the Lord’s supreme grace. The Guru is Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Maheśvara; meditation on the Guru’s form is the root of all. The universal prayer leads from falsehood to truth, darkness to light, death to immortality. Well-being, prosperity, and happiness are invoked for all beings. The doer of all actions is the Lord, not the individual self. Meditation on Śiva as compassion incarnate, ever dwelling in the heart with Bhavānī, is offered. Victory is proclaimed to the Sadgurus and eternal dharma. Each step of circumambulation destroys the sins of many births. > “Tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam urvārukamiva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya māmṛtāt.” > “Lead me from asat to sat. Lead me from tamas to jyoti. Lead me from death to amṛta.”

The divine festival of Śivarātri celebrates the eternal Śiva, the auspicious Śaṅkara Bhagavān. Śiva is the greatest among Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva, forgiving all mistakes. Compassionate vision showers the nectar of immortality. Today, abhiṣeka keeps the Śivaliṅga cool with continuous water flow. Ghee, honey, sugar, sacred ash, and sandalwood paste are offered for cleansing. Water is pure; worship through water cools the fire essence of Śiva. In God’s kingdom, there is no division—one in all and all in one. God never divides people or the planet with borders. Divisions exist only in the human mind. The saffron flag is the sacred eternal seat of Ādi Śiva Śaṅkara. Śiva is the liberator, the highest divine incarnation, and all are under his protection. The mind is a thread connecting the individual self to universal consciousness. Through it, the light of wisdom illuminates spiritual awakening. The essence of prāṇa is ever-present, and the Guru’s guidance is a lamp in darkness. Devotees who are devoted do not drown even if they fall. Śiva and Śakti shower blessings from their lotus hands. Fasting and night-long worship bring fortune. May the blessings of Śiva and the eternal Dharma be upon all.

Holy festivals universally remind us of our human dharma. All holy days across religions speak of love, God, and prayer. They commemorate events where dharma ultimately triumphs, reminding us to uphold righteousness even at personal cost. Their purpose is to make humans aware of their dharma: kindness, love, protection, understanding, and liberation. Festivals also connect us to nature, for which we are meant as protectors, not destroyers. We have neglected our scriptures in favor of daily news, losing uplifting guidance for our minds. These holy days were designed to inspire selfless action, forgiveness, and unity. Śiva is the most merciful God, pleased with little and quick to bless. He is universal consciousness. In stories, a thief climbing a Śiva Liṅgam with muddy feet is seen as full surrender, and a hunter accidentally dropping leaves on a Liṅgam is seen as worship. Both received blessings. Śiva frees us from sin. Our individual consciousness must simply surrender to merge with the cosmic whole, like a drop falling into the ocean. "Dharma kī jai! The right cause is upheld." "Jīva jāyegā Śiva. Similarly, what we need is a little surrender." Filming location: India

Blessings are a divine quality accessible to all who possess true spiritual understanding. They originate from cosmic consciousness, not mere intellect. An intellect without spiritual experience is like a plastic apple—lifeless. There are two types of education: Parāvidyā, the science of the entire universe and the Self, and aparāvidyā, knowledge for the material world. Blessings manifest in many forms: sacred food, pilgrimage, darśan, or even a relic. They bring unity, purity, and liberation. Blessing is a union, like a river merging into the ocean, losing its separate identity. All beings—humans, animals, plants—can bestow blessings. Giving food to the hungry invites a blessing from their intense hunger. A story illustrates that blessing is a quality, not a quantity: a cowherd rejected a handful of grain, not realizing it contained jewels. True understanding requires connecting the heart's feeling with the brain's discernment. Without the knowledge and science of the Self, the world remains trapped in hunger and desire. "Intellect which has no spirituality, which has no experiences in the knowledge of the cosmic function... is a plastic apple." "Blessing is a quality, not a quantity. And that quality is the supreme, the cosmic." Filming location: Rajasthan, India

The altruistic nature of saints is their defining principle. A great soul exists solely for the welfare of others, just as a tree bears fruit, a cow gives milk, and rivers flow for the benefit of all. The body of a saint is made for benevolence. In the presence of such beings, one finds peace, as the environment influences the mind. A place where saints reside becomes a sacred pilgrimage. The words of saints are eternal and will come true. Blessings possess great power; a sincere blessing, especially from a pure soul, can alter destiny. What we consider sin or virtue can be relative, but the core principle is to do good. "For the sake of others, the tree bears fruit; for the sake of others, the cow gives milk; for the sake of others, the rivers flow; and for the sake of others, this body exists." "Where great saints and mahāpuruṣas reside, that land becomes a sacred pilgrimage site, and for ages and ages, it grants peace, gratitude, and liberation."

Health is being established in oneself, a harmony of body and spirit. A conference on yoga and naturopathy emphasized this unity. The approach uses elemental medicines—water, earth, air, fire—to remove disease, not fight it. We often accept a mediocre state of health, just as one accepts bad traffic, without striving for our true potential. Simple practices like drinking warm water or daily āsana can greatly improve our condition. We gain awareness through disciplines like fasting, yet we often revert to old habits, believing we do not deserve to feel well always. We must change this belief and act on the health within our control. "The four most important medicines are water, earth, air, and fire." "Is it the same with our bodies? When we feel 'good,' is our concept of good health like Bangalore's concept of good traffic?" Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The human mind is perpetually immersed in its own thoughts. Day and night, the mind is consumed by its own activity. This constant immersion is the fundamental state. The repetitive nature of thought is the core experience. There is no escape from this internal landscape. The cycle is unending. The content is less significant than the immersion itself. The soul's journey is defined by this engagement. "when a human is immersed in his thoughts" "when he is immersed in his thoughts"

The divine light of Śiva is the path from mortality to immortality. The Himalayas are a holy land of immense cosmic energy where Śiva first manifested. All suns, moons, and galaxies represent Śiva, who appears within human meditation. Yoga is as ancient as existence itself, not limited to any single culture or time. It encompasses all spiritual techniques, prayer, and acts of love. Through yogic practices like yoga nidrā, consciousness can travel beyond the body while remaining connected. The goal is to move from unreality to reality, from darkness to light, and from death to immortality. This inner light of wisdom, Śiva Jyoti, exists within the heart and is perceived not with physical eyes but with inner awareness. True health is mental and spiritual wellness, originating from pure thoughts and peace. All beings are part of the divine, and realizing this unity leads to harmony. "Asato mā sad gamaya," lead us from unreality to reality. "Tamaso mā jyotir gamaya," lead us from darkness to light. Filming locations: Pokhara, Gandaki Province, Nepal.

In order to practice yoga nidra find 45 minutes for yourself, peaceful place and comfortable posture. Mat from dry grass - kushasan - is the best. You should follow ahimsa, non violence. Avoid eating meat and using leather in your car or house. Artifical materials has also bad energies, they gives unnatural heat and tiredness. Than step by step you will reach relaxed body and relaxed breath. Your sankalpa during yoga nidra should be without greed. When sleep comes, you should not refuse but do not sleep. In this way the state of cosciousness called yoga nidra will come. You can practice with CD, if the voice is harmonious. Instuctions should come in a proper rithym due to the breathing of practicioners.

The divine energy within is activated by purifying the chakras and awakening the Kuṇḍalinī. Energy is always divine, parallel to consciousness, but its expression depends on the quality of mind through which it flows. Life itself is divine prāṇa, and the chakras are centers within the prāṇamayakośa through which cosmic energy is received. The jīvātmā is the center of this prāṇa. To balance this śakti and solve inner problems, one of the best techniques is Yoga Nidrā. This practice is ancient, described in yoga literature and exemplified by figures like Kṛṣṇa, who described a state of conscious sleep. Yoga is the science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul, balancing the universe. The goal is samādhi, where knower, knowledge, and object merge into oneness. Achieving this requires dedicated practice and technique, not merely intellectual understanding. The Self is within, yet the mind searches externally. This consciousness can only be experienced, not explained. Yoga Nidrā is a safe, deep relaxation technique where one remains alert without forcing control, unlike meditation which can create stress. It involves a conscious, positive saṅkalpa or resolution, repeated three times. The practice is done lying in Ānandāsana, systematically relaxing the body and visualizing the inflow of cosmic prāṇa and outflow of toxins, leading to healing and heightened awareness. "Energy is always divine. Energy is symbolized as a mother, and here mother means the mother is always positive and loving to her children." "Samādhi is where the knowledge, knower, and object—these three merge into oneness."

Spiritual practice begins with immediate discipline and preparation. A clean, peaceful space is chosen. An object of devotion serves as a focus for love and dedication. Mental worship purifies the inner instrument and removes afflictions. This devotion creates positive vibration. Practice is not a competitive sport but a dedicated offering. The sequence involves postures for the physical sheath, breath control for the energy sheath, and concentration for the mental sheath. This inquiry leads to the intellectual and bliss sheaths. One must study authoritative texts and ultimately seek a living master. The practice rests on four pillars: mindful consumption, discerning movement, ethical conduct, and positive thinking. Daily routine includes returning to a sacred space for surrender and gratitude. Different masters offer valid paths based on their direct experience. Personal guidance is essential, as theoretical knowledge alone is insufficient. The tradition of transmission from teacher to student is the foundation of a living spiritual path. "Through the mānasik pūjā, our antahkaraṇa—manas, buddhi, chitta, ahaṅkāra—will be purified." "Āhār, vihār, ācār, and vicār are very important for a yogī."

The subject is chakras, kuṇḍalinī, and the hidden powers in humans. Today is the day of Divine Mother Sarasvatī, who represents wisdom and pure knowledge. The human body carries all the energies of the universe, and the intellect requires Sarasvatī's blessing. Each chakra has its own bīja mantra and sub-mantras, which are specific sounds and resonances. These mantras manipulate the tattvas, with each Sanskrit alphabet representing a divine principle. The right time for practice, like the correct season for planting a seed or the designated hour for a musical rāga, is crucial for positive effect. Modern life often disregards these natural disciplines. Through meditation and mantra, one aims for samādhi. The mantra "Oṁ" is the cosmic seed sound, scientifically observed to harmonize the body's energy. To awaken the chakras safely, one must acknowledge and respect every energy and creature, as all are part of the divine creation. Human life requires care in diet, behavior, recreation, and thought to maintain balance and allow wisdom to flourish. "Without this pure knowledge, which enters into our Vijñānamaya Kośa, we cannot get education, we cannot learn, we cannot study." "Therefore, the science of Kuṇḍalinī and Chakras is for making human life happy, healthy, and successful, and to achieve higher consciousness." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

The subject is the cakras and kuṇḍalinī, the hidden powers in humans. Dreams show our past, including past lives, and give direction through symbols. Yet distinguishing dream from reality is difficult. A farmer dreamt an entire life and lost a son, then awoke to find his daughter dead. He wondered for whom to cry first. This illustrates the witness consciousness beyond the three states. Our sūtra, or thread of attention, binds us to material desires. Cakras are non-physical energy centers within the energy body. This energy influences the physical body, hormones, and nervous system. Concentrated attention directs this energy, which can be positive or negative. Suppressed emotions like anger or offense attack specific cakras, affecting health and causing issues like insomnia or anxiety. The solution is Yoga Nidrā. This practice targets all energy toward the divine, purifying it. Cakras are like lotuses, initially dormant and inverted. Through devotion, prāṇāyāma, and mantra, they are nourished and turn upward. Learn to love yourself and all creation. This devotion purifies the energy body. To visualize cakras, do not focus on the spine or front body. Instead, perceive the entire energy body in the mental space, like a color X-ray, to see and purify the cakras and kuṇḍalinī. "At the death, when the body is put on the fire... nobody came near." "O Lord, my wish is that at the time of renouncing this body, You are standing with me."

Life is shaped by the company one keeps, leading either to upliftment or downfall. Human life presents two fundamental paths: Uttāna, leading to progress and liberation, and Patana, leading to distraction and ignorance. Both originate from Saṅga, the company one keeps. Adding 'Sat'—meaning truth or God—creates Satsaṅg, association with truth and spiritual companions. Adding 'Ku' creates Kuśaṅga, negative society leading to bad habits and materialism. The Guru is the dispeller of darkness who leads from ignorance to light. Destiny is powerful, yet a Guru's grace can alter its course. Intellectual knowledge alone is insufficient; divine grace and spiritual science are paramount. True spiritual power, like walking on water, comes from devotion, not mere intellectual correction. Divine energy within must be awakened and guided with devotion and a clear mind under a Guru's direction, lest ego cause harm. The inner journey to the highest consciousness must be undertaken slowly and carefully, with Guru's grace, as the path is narrow and filled with temptations. "Without Guru, we will not find a way." "This all you can achieve only through Guru Kṛpā, otherwise it will not be possible." Filming location: USA

The aim of all spiritual practice is to realize the immortal, non-dual Self. Vedanta's essence is non-dualism: only the one divine consciousness is real, and the perceived world is changing illusion. The classical yogi is one who removes duality and realizes the Self in all. This realization brings unity, harmony, and an end to suffering. All paths ultimately lead to this oneness. The Self is like space: it cannot be cut, burned, or destroyed. The body is mortal, but the Atma within all beings is immortal and everlasting. Practice is essential to move from theoretical understanding to direct knowledge. Do not frequently change the inner spiritual altar; worldly things may change, but the commitment to the divine Self must remain steady. Time is limited; utilize the present for this aim. "Brahma Satya Jagat Mithyā, Eko Brahma Dutya Nāsti." "What is changing is not reality. What is not changing is reality."

Kuṇḍalinī and cakras are not physical; they are experiences within consciousness and energy. Theory, or Vācārthī, is like a picture of a horse—it cannot be ridden. Practice under a Lakṣārthī guru, who has direct experience, is essential. Fear is the greatest obstacle; overcome it through dream mastery. First, remember dreams upon waking. Second, know you are dreaming while in the dream. Third, control the dream; later, unify waking, dream, and deep sleep consciousness. This leads to Turīya, the state of Trikāla Darśī—knowing past, present, and future. Kuṇḍalinī is coiled energy, three and a half times around the Śiva Liṅga. Its awakening unfolds qualities like happiness and wisdom, not physical sensations. Sensations of crawling or water flowing indicate nervous issues, not awakening. The Guru’s word is immortal; it never fails. A king placed his Guru’s sandals on the throne and was protected. When later kings removed the sandals, the kingdom fell. So, practice with faith; let devotion never shake. Guru Kṛpā is the root of liberation, guiding beyond death. “Tons of theory is nothing compared to a grain of practice.” “Chand Tale, Sūraj Tale, Mahāpuruṣ kā Bachan Kabhī Nahīṁ Tale.” Filming location: Pokhara, Nepal

Sleep is a vital, natural process for health and consciousness. Consciousness has three states: waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Sleep is the best state, designed for recovery, allowing the brain to relax from worldly distractions and tensions. Without proper rest, the nervous system becomes imbalanced, leading to exhaustion. Sleep also aids digestion. Yogis can master sleep through techniques like Ujjāyī Prāṇāyāma, which replaces the need for conventional sleep. A story illustrates this: when poison threatened creation, Śiva drank it and used Mahābandha to contain it in his throat, becoming Nīlakaṇṭha. This act required yogic mastery over bodily processes. Therefore, do not avoid sleep; it is essential. Modern life disrupts natural rhythms. Going to bed early aligns with nature's cycle. Yoga Nidrā is a conscious, awakened sleep state where one remains aware. It involves breath awareness from navel to throat for deep relaxation. This practice is a rare knowledge. "Sleep is that state where we try to reduce toxins from the body." "In that yogic sleep, you are still as you are awakened." Filming locations: Pokhara, Gandaki Province, Nepal

The mind functions as a messenger between consciousness, intellect, and the subconscious. The intellect receives sensory information and judges desires arising from the subconscious. Unresolved desires become stored as vāsanās, creating psychological issues and future karma. Forcing spiritual awakening is dangerous; purification of the subconscious through mantra and sādhanā is essential. Do not block the mind, but direct it toward spiritual aims. Troubles remind devotees of the Divine, while material happiness often leads to forgetfulness. Perform karma yoga and remember the Divine name to navigate destiny and ultimately merge with supreme consciousness. "The mind is not responsible; it is just like a messenger or a postman who just delivers the post. The decision is made by our buddhi, our intellect, which gives the judgment." "Therefore, O Kṛṣṇa, I throw a big rock on that enjoyment of this world which lets Your name disappear from the heart. But I adore and bow down again and again to those troubles which every second remind Thy name."

Mastering consciousness is the foundation for understanding chakras and Kundalini. One must master the transition between waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Not knowing the precise moment of falling asleep indicates a lack of mastery in the initial stage of practice. The second level to master is the dream state, understanding how one enters it and with which body. The astral body rises between the Anahata and Vishuddhi chakras; certain sleeping postures can suppress it and cause difficult dreams. Sleeping on the left side allows the solar nadi to flow, promoting alertness even in sleep. The practice of Svara Yoga, beginning with specific pranayamas, guides consciousness to higher levels. Daily activity should align with which nadi, solar or lunar, is flowing. This practice allows one to see the prana's color and perceive disturbances before they manifest physically. Compassion is the root of dharma, while ego is the root of sin. Past actions become destiny, a chain of action and reaction. The seed of spiritual knowledge, once planted through the Guru's word, must be nurtured. The harvest of wisdom is then shared in the marketplace of satsang. "Compassion is the root of dharma, and the root of sin is ego." "You must follow the Satguru’s command. If you do not, you will fail."

The mind is polluted by external visions and sounds, creating the world you perceive. Purity of vision and thought is essential. The mind is greedy, restless, and a thief; do not let it lead your life. To purify it, practice breath control and mantra repetition with faith and discipline. Master the transition between waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. True understanding of sacred texts requires knowing the word, the knowledge, and the feeling behind them. Language affects consciousness; few languages balance the mind's hemispheres. Life is a brief journey; awaken to your human purpose. Control the mind by directing its restless energy along the spinal path of breath and awareness. "Thinking is so powerful that it forces us to do things we do not want to do. Therefore, the mind should be pure." "O traveller, wake up, you are sleeping. This body will very soon go away, and you will be again nowhere." Filming location: UK

The subject is the divine Śakti, known as Kuṇḍalinī, the hidden power within every individual. This energy accompanies the soul, governs the body's formation, and sustains all functions through the prāṇamaya kośa. It concentrates in the main chakras and flows through the network of nāḍīs, primarily Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā. Purifying these channels through disciplined Prāṇāyāma is essential. Practice begins with Nāḍī Śodhana, using specific inhalation and exhalation ratios, always starting with the left nostril to tranquilize the mind. Correct posture and abdominal breathing are fundamental, as they develop lung capacity and conserve vital breath. Prāṇāyāma consists of rechak, pūrak, and kumbhaka. Techniques like Ujjāyī can purify the body and regulate energy. Bandhas, such as Jālandhara Bandha, manipulate this energy by creating and releasing blockages. Physical practice requires proper sequence: body warming, gentle stretching, then āsanas with counter postures. Discipline in all aspects of life is the foundation. Practice must be correct and under guidance to avoid harm and progress from the annamaya to vijñānamaya kośa. "Yogaḥ citta vṛtti nirodhaḥ, but before that he said, 'Atha yogānuśāsanam.'" "Alpāhāra means a small portion of food, little eating, but we do not know how to control."

Integrating cakra, mantra, and movement creates a complete practice. Concentration on the cakra is a distinct practice often neglected. This integration is explored through Sūrya Namaskāra. It is important not to practice only the posture, only the cakra focus, or only the mantra in isolation. An integrated structure is necessary. The practice works on the removal of toxins and ignites the individual. The vibration of the mantra affects the eyes and the surrounding area. One must attune the mantra to oneself. The life force is prepared through this facing and stretching. "It is important that we do not only practice Sūrya Namaskār, not only focus on the cakra, not only practice the mantra." "So you change the mantra, and then you change the situation."

The search for truth reveals the witness beyond dream and waking states. Humans possess dormant powers within, mapped by chakras and nāḍīs, which can be awakened through yogic practice. Consciousness operates on three levels: unconscious, subconscious, and conscious, corresponding to deep sleep, dream, and waking states. The story of King Janaka illustrates the quest: he is troubled by whether his dream suffering or his waking palace is real. The sage Aṣṭāvakra reveals that neither state is the ultimate truth; the true self is the unchanging witness of all states. The human body contains 72,000 nāḍīs, or energy channels, with three principal ones: Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā. Their balance is Haṭha Yoga. The Kuṇḍalinī energy, coiled at the base of the spine, rises through eight primary chakras to unite with supreme consciousness. This knowledge is a practical science for achieving oneness, not mere dogma. "Neither dream is truth, nor is this truth. Truth is that which is the witness of the dream and this waking state." "The entire universe is working. The entire earth is working. Everything in our body is working. Kriyā means something is happening."

Yoga is the eternal, unifying force between cosmic consciousness and the universe. The universe began as Śūnyākāśa, a void containing consciousness like an embryo. Through Yogamāyā, the primordial resonance Aum emerged, spreading everywhere as the form of the supreme reality. From this sound, light manifested as Sadāśiva, the self-created source of all stars and elements. This same resonance exists within every atom of the body and all creation. Yoga is not merely physical postures; these are preliminary techniques for health. True yoga is inner practice, mastering the mind and desires to fulfill human dharma through selfless action that protects all creatures. Spiritual knowledge, or Parāvidyā, guides one beyond death and accelerates progress in future lives, unlike worldly knowledge. The essence is to realize one's eternal relation with the divine in all beings through consistent sādhanā and remembrance. "From time to time I manifest myself through the Yogamāyā, that divine Śakti." "Arjuna, practice yoga... thy yoga practices will be successful when you act in this mortal world as niṣkāma karma sevā." Filming location: Nepal
