The inner longing for joy turns one inside through Om. We are always searching for everlasting joy, safety, peace. Saints say, go inside. Mīrābāī cries out, “I cannot live without you.” Creation came out of Om. Saints know this Aum secret and abide in bliss, that consciousness. Through practice we purify the kośas and contact the higher self, eternal consciousness. From Om arise the guṇas, then māyā, the world. We are like a fish thirsty in water. Om is the highest symbol of God. Repetition of Om awakens divine light, destroying worldly sorrows. Without Aum practice is incomplete. Through Aum comes ānanda; all karmas are purified, blocked energies opened. The guru incarnates again and again to give this knowledge and practice for realization. He shows the path to independence, needing nothing. Repeat the name of God without wasting time. After many lives, longing arises and the guru finds you. Give up passion, anger, pride, greed, jealousy; nothing belongs to you. “I am like a lotus without water, or a dark night without a moon.” “Through the chanting of Aum you will cross the ocean of the world.” Filming location: Debrecen, Hungary

Yoga is the eternal path to self-realization, a source of endless knowledge beyond mere postures. The universal Self, or light of God, dwells within all beings, yet we are blinded by illusion.

Space and consciousness are balanced in perfect oneness through yoga. Our duty is to help others and all creatures, for harming them is harming the light within them. Purification comes through discipline, meditation, and sattvic food, awakening the dormant energies within. "Yoga is like a forever milky cow. Every day it gives you new milk, fresh milk." "If you see yourself in everyone, this is the first step of self-realization." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

Morning Lecture by Vishwaguru Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda from Vep, Hungary.

The bond between guru and disciple is the only permanent bond, chosen with full awareness. Other relationships, like family, are given without choice. In Kali Yuga, finding a true guru is rare. We are blessed to be in a lineage, a paramparā, starting with Śrī Alakpurījī in the Himalayas. The guru is the light from darkness. We need a guide just as we needed parents and teachers. The spiritual path is structured through four life stages, culminating in sannyās. The greatest gift is initiation with a mantra, a direct conversation with the divine. The story of Eklavya illustrates perfect guru bhakti and surrender, offering his thumb as guru dakṣiṇā. The guru is trikāla-darśī, seeing all time. We must not question the guru's instruction, as illustrated by a story where a guru's warning saved a man from an attack. Another story tells of a guru who helped princes rewrite their destined poverty through faith and specific instructions. The guru has the power to transform destiny, but we must c
