Transcript of this section of Maneck's lecture:
Help along the suggestions by practicing cleanliness without and within, moderation in everything, and the ordinary laws of hygiene. I often say that it’s nice to have a bath once a day. I say take a bath for God’s sake, or for your sake, or for my sake. Relax, recharge yourself, and strengthen your magnetism.
I often say to my students to take a bath, and let the water of the bath come up to your medulla oblongata over here. And just relax completely like a sponge in the water, and then see all the energy you can get out of water. That’s the only way you can contact Mother Nature in our civilization today, through your bathtub. Everything else in your house is wood, a little tile in the bath possibly, and if you have got bare feet, so much the better.
If you are taking a shower, then let the water fall around your medulla oblongata, and just be relaxed and recharge yourself.

Philosopher, metaphysician, storyteller,
and teacher of practical and esoteric wisdom
for a happy, healthy, and successful life
A discovery of fifty-year-old reel-to-reel audio tapes with spiritual, metaphysical, psychological, and scientific lectures by a wonderful Indian philosopher who was close friends with Gandhi, Yogananda, and other greats.
Filled with good advice for body, mind, soul, and spirit, powerful metaphysical truths for spiritual realization, and practical tools to help you manifest greater health, happiness, and personal evolution in your own life.
Maneck Anklesaria was born in India in 1899. At age 18, he worked with Mohandas Gandhi for several years, and again worked with Gandhi at age 30. Anklesaria studied at the University of Michigan, and spoke widely throughout the United States and the world for decades, sharing the spiritual wisdom of India with spiritual seekers and students, many of whom experienced great personal benefits from practicing the knowledge and suggestions he offered.
Maneck's content and speaking style is interesting, entertaining, charming, practical, spiritual and scientific, psychological and metaphysical, and applicable to one's own life and spiritual journey.
We have just begun the process of going through forty reel-to-reel tapes of Maneck's lectures from the late 1950s and early 1960s, and are sharing some excerpts here for the benefit of today's seekers who are looking for inspiring, practical, and authentic spiritual advice.

The "lost tapes of Maneck" include full-length lectures on many fascinating topics, including: Understanding Nature’s finer forces, Finding Our Real Self, “The Inner I Am,” The Law of Soul Progression: Karma and Reincarnation, The Alchemy of Spiritual Love, The State of Tranquility, “Rousing Conciousness, Mental Clarvoyance and Clairaudience, Art of Meditation, Healing and Occult Phenomena, Lesson on Love and Marriage, Studies into Nature Consciousness with Relation, Human Evolution, Kaya-Kalpa Art of One At Onement with the Universal Nature Symphony, Divine Healing and Service, Getting Recharged Daily, Your Body is a Metaphysical Expression, Dynamic Brain Power, and more.
These tapes are a treasurehouse of spiritual knowledge and wisdom, with wonderful stories and Maneck's lovely humor to boot.
