What is hidden in muladhar

The Mūlādhāra Chakra is the foundation of human consciousness and the seat of destiny. This root center at the base of the spine is the support for life and consciousness. It holds Prārabdha, the destiny created from past deeds, which determines the conditions of one's life. This destiny is a powerful energy that shapes all experience. Spiritual practice aims to understand and purify this foundation. The path involves Svādhyāya, Manana, and Abhyāsa—study, deep reflection, and disciplined practice. These three principles remove the three obstacles: Mala (impurity), Vikṣepa (disturbances), and Āvaraṇa (the curtain of ignorance). Purification is achieved through positive deeds, meditation, tolerance, and guidance. Kriyā Yoga techniques, including prāṇāyāma, mantra, and mudrā, purify the nāḍīs and awaken the Kuṇḍalinī Śakti dormant in the Mūlādhāra. This divine energy is the power of transformation, leading to wisdom and an open heart. The red color symbolizes the Śakti, the Mother Earth, representing the foundational energy from which all life arises. "Destiny is from the past, and so our destiny is dormant in the Mūlādhāra Cakra." "Svādhyāya, manana, and abhyāsa, these three principles will remove the other three qualities: mala, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa." Filming location: Umag, Croatia DVD 160b

Awakening of muladhar

Chakras are energy centers where consciousness resides, defining character and problems. Your destiny (prārabdha) is created by past karma before your body forms. You control your present karma through action, speech, thought, and influence, but once acted upon, deeds become destiny governing future life and all current problems. The Mūlādhāra Chakra is the root foundation of consciousness based on that karma. It is the earth element, colored red for energy and Mother Consciousness. Its awakening brings safety, wisdom, and pleasurable energy, not physical sensations. The chakra's symbols include a four-petaled lotus representing the four ways life enters the world, an elephant symbolizing wisdom and prosperity, an inverted triangle for energy flow, and a coiled snake representing past, present, and future karmas—the dormant Kuṇḍalinī Śakti. Śiva (consciousness) and Śakti (nature) seek union here. Exercises like Bhujaṅgāsana and Śalabhāsana activate this chakra, strengthening the back and influencing the root center for physical and mental balance. "As long as you are not doing anything, it is still under your control." "The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means wisdom. You become very wise, you become self-confident."

Exercises for harmonizing Muladhar Chakra

Yoga is a gentle practice for awakening energy through the body, breath, and mind. Modern life creates tension, especially in the shoulders and digestion, by exceeding the body's capacity. The body requires slow, conscious movements, not stress or competition. Practices like Tai Chi demonstrate the harmony of body, mind, and concentration. Quick exercises confuse muscles and disrupt the breath, which is the soul of yoga. Slow movement allows circulation, glandular function, and joint energy to improve while the mind coordinates with the body. This gentle practice develops concentration, releases tension, and fosters happiness, beginning the journey of self-knowledge. Yoga is peace and harmony within, enabling one to work for world peace. "Yoga begins with the breath, and achievement is through the breath." "Yoga does not want to have competition... yoga is peace, harmony, and happiness with oneself."

Muladhar Chakra. Part 3

Satsang is a gathering in truth, combining wisdom and song. Truth manifests as speech and chant. These chants are teachings or praises, passed from master to disciple. Their repetition is a spiritual practice, a mantra. Truth means the divine principle, Brahman. The individual self faces two paths: realization or destruction. The divergence point is the company one keeps. Good company leads toward God; bad company leads to doubt and fear. This company can be with people, animals, or any presence that awakens love. Without divine love and devotion, life is barren, like a leafless tree or a lifeless body. Love is God; to love God is Bhakti-Yoga. This love purifies and awakens one's inner energy. Seek a spiritual object for your love, like the universal sun, which belongs to all and disappoints none. True devotion is surrender, becoming a channel for divine love. Give love, and more will flow through you. "Satya means truth and Saṅg means togetherness. So it is a gathering in which the truth is spoken." "Bhakti-Yoga means to love God... The second form of divine love, in the aspect where one has spiritual faith."

Muladhara

Offer yourself daily as an instrument for divine love. Begin each morning by surrendering a specific inner quality. Renounce doubt, declaring you will never live in it. The next day, relinquish jealousy. On the third day, abandon all hatred. On the fourth, forsake greed and longing. Proceed daily, letting go of one quality after another. This is the practice of becoming a conduit. Like the bamboo in the garden, one must be willing to be cut and hollowed out so the divine breath may flow through as a flute, softening hardened hearts. The mantra is: "I am not the doer. O Lord, make me an instrument of Your love." Dedicate your life completely; otherwise, it is wasted. Yoga in daily life means realizing this offering. Establish discipline, like regular fasting, which is foundational for a student. These ancient principles transcend culture and religion, guiding one past obstacles toward reunion. A day comes for everyone when they see time was wasted. Do not postpone; begin now. "O Lord, take my body, mind, soul, and consciousness and let them be an instrument, your instrument, through which your love and truth shall flow." "I am not the doer. I am not the doer. O Lord, only You are the Doer."

Dharama Karma und Pralabdha, Hamburg

Dharma is duty, principle, and the inherent nature of all things. Uphold your duty and it upholds you; neglect it and it will neglect you. Humans must use reason, not just feeling, to understand and practice Dharma. Karma is all action, from breathing to thinking. Deliberate actions with intent create effects. Selfish karma binds; selfless karma liberates. Service, or Sevā, is a powerful selfless action. Every action has a reaction, creating a continuous cycle. Once an action is done, its effect becomes your destiny or fate, which is stored within. The Mūlādhāra Cakra is the root center where this latent karma resides, symbolized by a lotus in water—remaining in the world but untouched by it. Our task is to purify this foundation by removing impurities, disturbances, and veils of ignorance through practice and awareness. "Dharma Rakṣita Rakṣitaḥ. If you uphold your Dharma, then Dharma will also uphold you." "Selfish karma binds us, and selfless karma liberates us." Filming location: Hamburg, Germany DVD 206b

The Center of Health: Yoga in Daily Life

Health is central, and modern life challenges it. Yoga in Daily Life is a systematic practice for awakening inner forces. Physical exercises, or āsanas, are not gymnastics but a conscious realization of one's entire existence—feelings, breath, and state—to find a center of self-confidence. Every movement must be clear and felt, with breath observed as the directing life force, prāṇa, which activates energy in every cell. This practice awakens dormant forces, bringing light, relaxation, and strength, serving as a therapy for chronic fatigue. All movement should be fully conscious, without competition or challenge, which arise from ego. Self-awareness in practice leads to awareness of one's own development and the power of meditation. This system is a cosmic dance, where being blissful, free, and healthy allows the soul to radiate harmony. Practice a few āsanas with complete attention, not neglecting daily discipline. Through conscious movement and breath, energy awakens in the glandular systems and main chakras, harmonizing the key channels Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā, which positively influence the entire body. Spirituality means purity in food, life, thoughts, and actions. Negative thoughts are self-poisoning, while thoughts of love and forgiveness bring illumination. The choice is one's own responsibility to realize in this life. "Every movement should be fully conscious and accompanied by the breath. There are no challenges." "Negative thoughts are self-poisoning. Thoughts filled with love, understanding, and forgiveness are an illumination." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The Awakening of Kuṇḍalinī and the Path of Yoga

The Kuṇḍalinī Śakti is the universal power present within every being and all of Prakṛti. The human body is an infinite treasury created by Paramātmā, with buddhi developed through śikṣā and yoga. To enable happiness and the union of ātman and Paramātmā, Svāyambhu Śiva revealed these sciences. The entire cosmos was created from the nāda of Oṁ, which circulates as unbroken sound; without this nāda manifesting within, the body is lifeless. Within the body, 72,000 nāḍīs exist, with the central suṣumnā ascending from the mūlādhāra to the sahasrāra cakra. There is no distinction between Puruṣa and Prakṛti; the jīvātman embodies Śakti and the ātman embodies Śiva, with union dissolving duality. Yogic practices were brought to humanity by ṛṣis through tapasyā. For those who cannot practice intense sādhanā, the foremost path is Karma Yoga, the fire that burns away karma. In Kali Yuga, the easy path is Bhakti Yoga and following the Satguru. Key cakras in the brain are the ājñā, bindu, and sahasrāra. Awakening the bindu cakra, perhaps by maintaining a śikhā to apply tension, enhances remembrance, concentration, and health. The goal is to awaken Kuṇḍalinī, unite it with Śiva, and realize the ātman. "The entire world is but a dream; only devotion to Prabhu is real." "Yoga is the fire that burns away karma; through the fire of that yoga, one can burn and reduce the effects of karma." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The Foundations of Consciousness: Understanding the Chakras

The chakras are borders of consciousness. Energy centers are located at the body's major joints, marking transitions between kingdoms of nature. Concentrating on the earth chakra at the feet can lead to depression and accelerated aging. The area from ankles to knees governs animal consciousness and behavior. The five human chakras remain mixed with these lower qualities. The Ājñā Chakra is the border between human and divine consciousness. Awakening it reveals the inner master, though the outer master remains essential. Confusion arises when this center is clouded by intellect and ego. Ājñā means command, granting authority over the senses and freedom from karma. The Mūlādhāra chakra is the root foundation of physical and psychic stability. Its red color symbolizes the energy of Mother Earth, blood, and Śakti. This energy is worshipped as the divine feminine. The lotus flower symbolizes pure devotion and love, remaining unstained by the world. "Gu means darkness, and Ru means light. You enter into the light of wisdom, and you cross the border of this darkness." "Ājñā means order. Ājñā means command. So you become the commander because you know what to do."

Muladhara Chakra meditation

A guided meditation activates energy and balances the chakras. Begin by generating heat in the palms through rubbing and directing that energy to the brain and kuṇḍalinī. Physical postures like bending forward increase blood circulation to the head. Sitting in Vajrāsana helps balance the seven chakras: Mūlādhāra, Svādhiṣṭhāna, Maṇipūra, Anāhata, Viśuddhi, Ājñā, and Sahasrāra. Their purification leads to good physical and mental health. The kuṇḍalinī is a dormant energy, symbolized by a serpent but corresponding to the three nerves: Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā. Meditation and chanting techniques move energy from the Nābhi to the Sahasrāra Cakra. Two divine principles exist: consciousness and energy. "These seven trunks also spread the energy and balance all our seven chakras." "There are two principles, male and female, which means not this, divine, the consciousness and energy, the śaktis."

With willpower, anything is possible

Mastery of destiny is a lifelong task requiring personal effort, not external miracles. The body, mind, and feelings are natural; a healthy being experiences all emotions. Mastery comes through discernment and applying one's own wisdom to oneself, for we readily comfort others but not ourselves. A true master solves their own problems. Personal problems can be known and resolved through this wisdom, while impersonal ones must at least be understood. Be vigilant, observing the constant change within; always use your intellect. "Therefore, a master is one who can solve their own problems for themselves." "Personal problems can be known, resolved, liberated from, or mastered through one's own wisdom."

Four petals of Muladhara Chakra

The four pillars of human consciousness guide a successful life. One must work to protect one's dharma. You cannot protect everything yourself; everything has its own protectors. Human nature is great; what is polluted can be purified, and what is endangered can be saved. The proper way relates to environment, family, society, body, and ruler. The entire universe is working and is not dead. Everything is connected to our ancestors. Mokṣa means to live truly as a human, with the innocence of children. "Human beings have a great nature; what is polluted can be purified, what is endangered can be saved." "Mokṣa means to live truly as a human, with the innocence of children."

The self on time waves

Yoga is the science of balancing body, mind, and consciousness to achieve union with the cosmic source. Our problems often stem from a lack of internal harmony. Yoga offers a practical path, not just theory, to cultivate this balance. The ultimate goal is the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness. This requires purifying our qualities, moving beyond base emotions like anger and greed to embody human virtues such as love and kindness. We are not merely the physical body or the soul, which is a collection of qualities; the true self is the light that can merge with the divine. Practice is essential, including physical postures for health, breath control to calm the mind, and meditation for self-knowledge. The subtle body contains energy centers, or chakras, like the svādhiṣṭhāna, which governs emotions and creativity. Awakening and purifying these centers is key to spiritual progress. "Yoga is a balancing principle which balances the entire universe." "Know thyself is the answer to all your questions." Filming location: Karlovac, CRO DVD 159b

Muladhara chakra. Part one.

Your being in this world is more needed than you think. Yoga without spirituality is a body without a soul. Nothing in this world functions without a master, a guru who leads from darkness to light. This is true for material skills and is essential for spiritual guidance. Without it, you are lost. The initiation from a master provides the first awakening, like a jump-start for a dormant battery. Practice must follow theory. The human system is based on chakras, with the Mūlādhāra chakra as the root foundation. Its red color symbolizes concentrated earth energy. The lotus is a central symbol. It grows in muddy water but remains untouched by it, symbolizing that though we must incarnate in this worldly ocean to develop, we should rise above its temptations and quarrels. Realize your relation to the Supreme; that is true religion. Your duty is to serve, love, and let your consciousness unfold like a lotus, creating beauty. Do not wish to escape life; pray for the chance to serve and be a light. "Guru means darkness, and Guru means light. He who leads us from the darkness of ignorance to the light of wisdom or knowledge is the guru." "Oh Lord, if I have to stay in this world, then help me that I live in this world like a lotus in the water." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia

Madhur Muskan

A genuine longing for the divine draws a gracious response, often as a brief glimpse. This experience, whether in meditation or nature, ignites an enduring inner sweetness and bliss. That sweetness manifests as an undisturbed smile, reflecting the inner presence of Brahman regardless of external circumstances. The glimpse, though fleeting, penetrates consciousness completely, creating a permanent memory and a deepening desire for union. The practitioner then dives into a profound bliss, unlike any worldly pleasure, which intoxicates and transforms. This creates an eternal place for the divine ideal within the heart, reawakening a longing that expresses as happiness, clarity, and light. "Nothing disturbs you. You have a sweet smile, and this sweet smile signifies that God, Brahman, is present within." "When the first experience comes, the sādhaka is so joyful... that ānanda is a different ānanda."
