Guruji is Divine Light
7:20 - 7:56
|
From: 14 Sep 2015
The divine bond between guru and disciple is the foundation of spiritual life.
A disciple's journey begins with a longing for truth. Upon meeting the guru, one recognizes a divine light and a profound inner calling. The guru's training is rigorous, designed to transform the raw disciple into a refined instrument. This process requires complete surrender, like a seed dying to become a tree. The guru's protection is constant, ensuring the disciple's spiritual safety and discipline. Through loving guidance and demanding work, wisdom is transferred not merely by instruction but through grace and experience. This bond culminates in the disciple embodying the teachings and receiving the guru's complete spiritual transmission.
"The Master makes the disciple a Master, if that vein goes through that training."
"In love, there is trust. In love, there is protection. In love, there is a surrender, acceptance, and it is a oneness."

The Purifying Path of Haṭha Yoga: An Introduction to Ṣaṭkarma
8:00 - 8:47
|
From: 14 Nov 2009
Haṭha Yoga's essence is the six purification techniques, or Ṣaṭkarma, for cleansing the body and balancing energy. Our polluted modern environment necessitates these natural cleansings using water, salt, and air. These practices purify the physical system and uniquely influence the vegetative nervous system, which is typically beyond our control. The goal is to balance the Iḍā and Piṅgalā energy channels, allowing the central Suṣumnā to flow. This mastery brings many benefits, fostering willpower and overcoming inertia. Regular purification, especially during seasonal changes, removes metabolic waste that causes illness and stagnation, keeping energy flowing. Specific techniques like Netī cleanse the nasal passages, while Agni Sāra and Naulī stoke the digestive fire. These are potent tools that require proper guidance from an experienced teacher regarding the correct method and timing.
"Haṭha Yoga is not only that we clean and purify our whole system, our whole body, but it also has a great, very great effect on our nervous system, especially the vegetative nervous system."
"When they are balanced, then the third one, the Suṣumnā Nāḍī, will start to flow."

Keep the light
8:55 - 9:57
|
From: 6 Dec 2014
The Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā stems from the Himalayan legacy, where cosmic energy focuses directly from the universe. The master chose Jadan as a holy seat of immense energy, destined for all mankind. Every word of the Guru comes true. In Jadan Ashram, the light is radiant, but outer peace does not automatically bring inner peace. Life there is simple and intense, with time passing differently, allowing deep spiritual absorption. The lost needle searched outside where there is light, though lost in darkness, reflects ignorance. Where there is light, bright thoughts arise; where there is darkness, negativity comes. Christmas is a time to give away negative qualities, offer good feelings, and practice forgiveness. God unites in oneness, beyond differences in religion or culture. The Himalayas are the youngest mountains, yet they grow tall, hosting many saints and yogis. Alakhpurījī is indescribable, spotless, everlasting—a Śiva-like being. Serving the master in every aspect is the true sādhanā. Through such service, the physical body may transform into a subtle body, gaining siddhis. Śiva drank the world’s poison, becoming Nīlakaṇṭha, the blue-throated one. Alakhpurījī blessed Devpurījī in the glaciers, granting divine powers. The dharma is to work for Gurudeva and bring his message to others.
“Only to see the mountains is nothing. But in those mountains, we are searching for something.”
“Where there is light, it brings bright thoughts. And where there is darkness, negative thoughts come.”

The Serpent's Blessing: A Story of Kuṇḍalinī
10:05 - 11:00
|
From: 13 Aug 2019
The path to consciousness unfolds through the inner kingdom. A man sought Kuṇḍalinī awakening. A master gave him a flute. He blew it continuously for half an hour. A cobra emerged from a bush. He coaxed the snake into a basket. He planned to display his awakened Kuṇḍalinī. Resting under a banyan tree, a monkey stole the basket. The monkey opened it, saw the king cobra, and became paralyzed with fear. The master felt sorry for the monkey. This story warns against chasing such experiences. Another man searched for the wish-fulfilling Kalpavṛkṣa tree. Sitting beneath it, he wished for water, food, a bed, a net, and his wife. Each appeared. Then he feared a ghost, and a ghost materialized. Greed leads to loss. True Kuṇḍalinī is energy, knowledge, light connecting to the cosmic. Rest and meditate instead of forcing practices.
"Kuṇḍalinī is your energy, your knowledge, many good things. It is your light connecting to the cosmic."
"Don’t run behind such things."
