Transcript of this section of Maneck's lecture:
In my afternoon class I give the people the exercise to be done in the morning. So let us start doing the morning exercise.
When you get up in the morning, do not get up or jump out of the bed as soon as your alarm clock rings. Relax and take it easy. Lie in your bed for two or three minutes. Take the inventory of the day and make a beautiful day. Don’t worry about all of your problems that you’re going to face during the day, say to yourself how beautiful you can utilize this day.
Then, get out, take a bath, refresh yourself, do all your obligations, come back to your room, put on your kimono or light clothes, sit in a chair facing east, keep your windows about four inches open so that the morning breeze can some in, keep your window shades about four inches open so you can see at least part of the morning light. Then close your eyes be seated, be calm, establish your oneness with the divine spirit and infinite. Just as the light rays fall under this lamp, for example, if you are standing under a blue light, so in the like manner, let the divine rays cover you under the halo. Establish your atonement with the divine spirit, and when you do that, your body, your pulse, your body force will begin to be alive, will be magnetized. You’ll become conscious of it. Then build around yourself an egg shell or an egg shape halo illumination, just the same as you see in the picture, I mean the oval shape, that’s what I mean, about seven feet by four feet, all around you from your head to feet, covering yourself, of blue color, violet color, and yellow color.
The blue color indicates intuition, violet color spirituality or soul atonement, yellow color, intellect, divine halo, and when you are finally building this divine sheath of protection around yourself, say to yourself, “all that is harmonious, congenial, and beneficial, in my material and spiritual welfare and progress shall alone enter this spiritual wall of protection, which I am creating for my higher spiritual and offered edification.
In the beginning while you are doing that, this exercise, you may have little trouble in building of this sheath or wall. But after a little time, you’ll be able to do it instantaneously, and at that time instead of saying “I am creating,” you can say, “I have created,” and so on.

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.
