The Nāḍīs, Cakras, and the Mūlādhāra Foundation
A spiritual lecture on the nāḍīs, cakras, and the foundational Mūlādhāra Cakra.
"The Mūlādhāra Cakra is at the bottom of the spinal column. It is a border between animal and human consciousness."
"Destiny was created first, and destiny is created individually. We should blame no one. We are ourselves responsible for our destiny."
The speaker continues a discourse from the previous day, focusing on the Mūlādhāra Cakra as the seat of destiny (prārabdha) and divine energy. He explains how this foundational energy influences life and can be purified through the threefold practice of svādhyāya (self-study), manana (contemplation), and abhyāsa (persistent practice), which remove the obstacles of impurity, distraction, and veils. The talk connects these concepts to Kuṇḍalinī Śakti, the role of Kriyā Yoga, and concludes with a symbolic discussion of the tilak mark.

The truth is tapas
A spiritual discourse reflecting on the Kumbh Mela and warning against false spiritual powers.
"If you bathe during that constellation, the nectar still has an effect on you—meaning it cleans your karmas and blesses you with immortality."
"There is no austerity more than truth. To follow the truth is the biggest austerity, tapasyā—and no greater sin than to lie."
Swami Avatarpuri begins by describing his profound experience at the Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, taking a sacred bath for all devotees. He then shifts to a cautionary theme, recounting stories of Holy Guruji exposing fraudulent fortune tellers and so-called healers. He warns devotees against those who claim siddhis (powers) like seeing auras or predicting futures, arguing these are obstacles to true spiritual progress. He advises focusing on genuine devotion and practice, sharing a personal story where Mahaprabhuji counseled him to be like a steadfast banyan tree, free from expectation.
