Narada cursed Vishnu
Lecture by Swamiji from Vep, Hungary, July 2001. Although Narada got back his real face he became very angry with Visnu. He wanted to kill Visnu or himself. Narada was completely confused. Another story is when the devas and rakshasas were churning the ocean. Siva drank the poison and devae and rakshasas were fighting for the nectar. Narada told hard words to Visnu insulting him. So Narada cursed Visnu to get a human body. He should be born as Rama. Visnu accepted the curse. God dissolved Narada's maya. Narada realized that it was only an illusion and he realizes what he did. Visnu gave Narada a kriya to purify him from the bad karmas of his actions.

The Power of Hatha Yoga and the Journey Within
A discourse on the classical definition and power of Haṭha Yoga.
"A Haṭha Yogī endures all kinds of difficulties and never breaks their rules."
"The Haṭha Yogī is above every other yogī, if you understand. But of course, this is not merely doing Netī and having water come out; the Haṭha Yogī is doing sādhanā."
Swami Ji explains the profound discipline of Haṭha Yoga, distinguishing it from the common Western reduction to mere postures. He narrates a story where even Lord Śiva cannot impose a boon on a renounced Haṭha Yogī, illustrating the yogī's supreme willpower. The talk details the six purification techniques (ṣaṭkarma) and clarifies that Haṭha Yoga's true aim is to purify the nāḍīs (energy channels) to awaken Kuṇḍalinī and achieve samādhi.
