Bhajan evening from Vienna 1
22:50 - 23:18|Recorded on 23 May 2023
The world of the Guru is a realm beyond birth, death, and karma. It is a state of infinite light without sun, moon, color, or form, where even a king cannot enter. Yet saints and endless knowledge reside there. The Satguru incarnates to end suffering, and his grace is essential for liberation. His power surpasses all, and his glory is without limit. To enter this world is to attain eternal joy and freedom.
"Without the grace of the Satguru, no one can attain liberation."
"Śrī Guru is higher than Īśvara, the God of the entire universe."

From: 24 May 2023
The bhajans convey the essence of remembering the divine name and surrendering to the guru.
Always remember the most famous master, pray to that master. The master is the supreme lord of hosts, the giver of bliss. The formless Nārāyaṇa is everywhere. The Satguru is always present wherever one looks. Surrender to the guru removes all sorrows and troubles. No worldly relationship offers true refuge. Only the guru protects from the net of māyā. The ocean of saṃsāra is stormy. The guru’s mercy prevents the boat from breaking. One request: destroy dualities so that either japa or dhyāna becomes one-pointed. The Satguru ever protects; be fearless. Those surrendered to the guru live in highest happiness. Constant repetition of the mantra crosses the ocean of the world. That repetition leads to liberation and immortality. The world is a fleeting play of coming and going, lasting only two days. Possessions and family cannot help at death. Therefore worship the immortal God. Place the whole responsibility into the guru’s hands. Live like a lotus in the river, selfless, and at death let life be taken into divine hands.
“O Gurudev, take me under your shoulder and remove all my sorrows.”
“This world is a play of coming and going. We are in this world just for two days.”

How to find peace

From: 4 Feb 2017
The path to peace, memory, and fearlessness is found through yogic health. Peace begins within the heart and cannot be gained from outside. A primary cause of disease and nervousness is stress from an imbalanced nervous system. Health requires disciplined nourishment. Practice Alpāhāra, eating little. After a meal, eat nothing for six hours, only water. This gives the digestive system rest. A healthy body sleeps well, a sign of peace. Memory is connected to the Mūlādhāra cakra. Practice Aśvinī Mudrā to strengthen the nervous system and develop memory. Practice Kapālabhāti Prāṇāyāma to activate the brain. Perform Śaṅkhaprakṣālana for internal purification. Health is primarily in your hands through practice. Control the diet, reduce quantity, and peace will follow.
"Śānti is within your heart. Peace begins from our heart."
"Eat as much as you can. But then, for six hours, nothing to eat."
Develop God consciousness
1:30 - 2:31

From: 1 Feb 2006
The emergence of consciousness begins with the first principle, Svayambhū Śiva, the self-manifested divine will. The entire universe manifested from a cosmic sound, the resonance of OṂ, which permeates every atom. This planet is the realm of karma and dharma, where beings experience birth and death through the cycle of 8.4 million creatures. The divine play requires the knower, the knowledge, and the object. Most cannot understand this play; only those with grace can. Maya, or ignorance, manifests as anger, jealousy, and desire. Spiritual development requires cultivating God consciousness, which is distinct from material progress. Discipline through mantra, fasting, and silence develops this awareness. One sees only what one's consciousness permits; to see God, one must develop God consciousness.
"Eko’haṁ Bhausyāmī—I am one and now I will multiply."
"You can only see God if you have God consciousness."

Paths of destiny

From: 1 Nov 2008
Yoga is the principle that balances, harmonizes, and unites space and consciousness. Its author is Lord Śiva, who first manifested through the cosmic sound Oṁ and bestowed the science of Yoga Vidyā. This living tradition is transmitted from master to disciple; theory without practice is insufficient. The human body is a microcosm connected to cosmic energy through channels called nāḍīs. The primary channels are Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā, governing energy, light, and resonance. The body's form reflects universal principles, with divisions like brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, and śūdra corresponding to the head, arms, trunk, and legs, illustrating inherent unity without untouchability.
The heart center, the anāhata chakra, represents love without borders. It houses divine qualities like happiness and compassion, while lower centers contain limited, material desires. Awakening energy from the mūlādhāra chakra brings forth one's destiny and karma. This energy must be purified through centers like maṇipūra to reach the heart in a state of universal love. The ultimate aim is the merger of energy, resonance, and light into cosmic consciousness. This is achieved through practices like Kuṇḍalinī Yoga and specific kriyās, which involve bandhas to direct energy through the suṣumnā channel. Real yoga is a 24-hour practice of positive living, ahiṃsā, and love for all creatures, leading to self-realization.
"Yoga is not only physical and breath exercises; it is that principle which balances, harmonizes, and unites space and consciousness."
"Love is without boundaries—universal love, not individual love. The seat of the Ātmā is in the Anāhata cakra."
