Around the world - Opening of new YIDL center in Murska Sobota, Slovenia
2:00 - 2:42 (42 min)
We open a new ashram to practice the universal science of Yoga in Daily Life. This center, established in 1990, spreads an authentic system taught by volunteer teachers. After 25 years in rented spaces, we now have our own home for practice. Yoga is not a business or a competitive sport; it is a universal path of balance for body, mind, and soul, beyond any single religion. Modern life requires finding inner peace, yet people often sacrifice health for money and lose the present by fixating on the future. The key is willpower, not time, to make daily practice as essential as nourishment. Children, our future culture, must also be guided in spirituality and ethics. True health comes from within, and yoga is a science for all ages and conditions, leading from darkness to light.
"Yoga is not specific to one country or one religion; yoga is universal."
"Yoga means balance, harmony, and unity."

Tuma Sab Ke Dina Dayala
3:40 - 4:03 (23 min)
A spiritual discourse explaining a devotional bhajan and recounting a temple inauguration.
"O Śiva, O Devpurījī, did you forget about me in your bliss?" and "Śaraṇa Bali Hari means I am completely devoted to you."
The lecturer explains the meaning of a bhajan composed by Mahāprabhujī for his guru, Devpurījī, interpreting its lines as a devotee's heartfelt plea and a lesson in absolute surrender. He connects this to a recent journey to inaugurate the first statues of Devpurījī and Kṛṣṇānandajī Mahārāj at a disciple's ashram, describing the ceremony and reflecting on the spiritual lineage.

4:05 - 4:13 (8 min)
Without the Guru's grace, all worldly and spiritual attainments are meaningless. What value is a beautiful form, a virtuous spouse, immense wealth, or glorious fame if the mind is not fixed upon the Guru's feet? Of what use are sons, grandsons, a home, and all kinsmen without that attachment? Even faith, mastery of the Vedas, skill in poetry, renown abroad, or righteousness itself are utterly futile. What benefit is there in having kings serve you or in being a world-renowned bestower of boons? All of it is worthless without the mind anchored to the Guru. The Guru is the supreme reality, the savior of the devout, and the ferry across the ocean of worldly existence. Only through grace is the true nature of the self realized.
"What is the use of wife, wealth, sons, grandsons, and all such relations... if the mind is not firmly attached to the lotus feet of the Guru?"
"Jiva ko para utarasa, swarupa ko satbhava anubhava." (The being is carried across, the true nature is experienced.)
Self is happiness
4:15 - 4:53 (38 min)
The sense of life is to become happy and free from past suffering and karma. Satsaṅg is the best way to attain this peace. Our inner self, which seeks happiness, is a part of God. We often search for this self externally, but it cannot be found that way. To understand God and oneself, one must attend satsaṅg and study the scriptures. Yoga is the union of the self with the Cosmic Self. All who take physical form, even God, must endure certain sufferings according to cosmic law. We are here due to our karma, while God incarnates by free decision, yet He too must accept difficulties, sometimes due to curses. Even a great devotee like Nārada once cursed Viṣṇu, causing Him to incarnate again. This occurs when one's intellect becomes confused. We must always pray for positive intellect.
"If the self is searching for the self somewhere, we will never find it anywhere."
"The difference between us and God is that we came to the world because of our karma, and He came according to His own decision."

The Pearl of Everlasting Bliss
5:00 - 5:21 (21 min)
The life of a sage demonstrates the attainment of everlasting bliss through divine realization. True happiness is the hidden treasure of life, found only through God-realization. A young seeker's profound prayer led him to his master, Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, an encounter he experienced as a homecoming. He devoted himself completely, becoming a monk through a supreme initiation that conferred instant samādhi. He was refined through austerity and his master's mercy. After his master's departure, he became the spiritual successor, establishing and caring for ashrams. He tirelessly spread teachings of non-dualism, non-violence, and universal humanity through discourse and song. His power flowed from unwavering devotion, meditating on his guru's name for over eighteen hours daily. This pure love overcomes all obstacles between the soul and God. He authored a biography of his master and was honored as a Dharma Samrāṭ. His divine consciousness merged with the cosmic in 2003. His samādhi shrine became his final throne. His disciple continues the divine mission. The sage's life is a clear message: identifying with the body is ignorance; realizing pure consciousness is wisdom.
"My eyes filled with tears, and I fell to my knees. I knew I had found the everlasting light of my life."
"Only love of such purity and intensity overcomes all obstacles and removes all the curtains between us and God."

In the cave of Sri Alakhpuriji
5:25 - 5:35 (10 min)
A personal story about receiving a devotional chant as a blessing.
"You go in and meditate; you will get good inspiration." "Print out this sentence in big letters and stick it on the place where you go the most, and read it every day."
The speaker recounts a Himalayan pilgrimage with Viśva Gurujī, where he was granted special permission to meditate in Śrī Alakpurījī's cave. After an uncomfortable period of cold, he later received the kīrtan as a blessing. He explains the chant's core meaning—"all you need is the Guru's grace"—and shares how he set the Sanskrit phrase to music, concluding by singing the devotional composition.

Be satisfied and content whatever you have
11:45 - 12:58 (73 min)
A satsang featuring spiritual stories and teachings on renunciation, ego, and the pitfalls on the spiritual path.
"Seeing you all the time indulged in these materialistic activities and always enjoying your life makes me sad."
"If you have ego, envy, or jealousy towards anything or anyone, then you get stuck in this māyā."
The lecturer narrates two primary parables. The first tells of King Gopichand, who renounces his kingdom at his mother's request and learns the true meaning of his mother's three advices for monastic life. The second, a cautionary tale, describes a powerful muni whose intense tapasya is destroyed by rising ego and desire, ultimately exploited by Kamadeva. The speaker weaves in related teachings, including a story of Lord Rama delivering justice to a dog, to emphasize controlling anger, speech, and the dangers of ego.

Practice and eat healthy food
15:45 - 16:43 (58 min)
Yoga requires holistic knowledge of practices like āsana and of natural remedies. Specific postures like Sarvāṅgāsana benefit the entire body, especially the thyroid, spine, and circulation. Viparītakaraṇī Mudrā aids digestion and prevents constipation when performed correctly, such as on an empty stomach. However, these inverted poses must be avoided by those with high eye pressure, for whom cold compresses are advised. Our deep knowledge of natural herbs and plants for healing has been lost. A story illustrates a yogī cured of cancer by a plant that spoke to him after twelve years. We possess powerful local flora, like European honey or acacia, which can be nectar or poison depending on use. This parallels modern food, where pesticides and poor cooking knowledge cause harm. Cooking is a vital science, and traditional knowledge, often innate in women, is essential for health. Yoga must be practiced gently, without competition, tailored to the individual. Personal practice like prāṇāyāma is crucial, yet grace can also bring benefit. We must purify body and mind through sādhanā.
"Similarly, with yoga. People try to make those postures which you think, 'Wow!' How will your grandmother come for yoga?"
"So, do you want to break the bones of others? Or do you give them a healthy body?"

A Guru gives everything that we need
16:50 - 17:51 (61 min)
Evening satsang from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. The story of Krishna and Vidura's wife. Explanation and sing of bhajan Prabhu Prema Bina Nahi Ave. Strilky Ashram is a heaven on earth. We should know what Guru really means. Our biggest problems are our ego and jealousy. The real Guru mantra can liberate our minds. Our yoga name helps us to go towards our aims. We have to do seva (selfless service) in order to get the blessing. Miracles can happen to each of us. Karma is happening to every country. Yoga has become an industry in the world. There are some institutes which want to control yoga and ayurveda also. It should create a universal benchmark for yoga and ayurveda. In Britain, many people can legally use yoga and ayurveda as medicine. Bhajan explanation and singing Prabhu Mere Avaguna Chita Na Caro.
We are eternal
17:55 - 18:55 (60 min)
An evening satsang on spiritual oneness and the guru-disciple relationship.
"For only a certain time do we think in terms of 'mine,' 'yours,' and 'theirs.' And then, my dears, that will go away."
"It is like rain falling. There are many drops... But they come together, and all drops unite to become the water that is flowing."
The lecturer addresses a gathering, expounding on the fundamental unity of all beings using the metaphor of raindrops merging into the ocean. He shares a parable of a yogi and a skeptical professor to illustrate divine wisdom, and recounts personal stories and a disciple's dream about their guru, Swami Madhavanandji Bhagavan, emphasizing the eternal bond beyond physical presence. The talk blends teachings on non-duality with devotional remembrance on the anniversary of the guru's samadhi.

Be the example
19:00 - 19:57 (57 min)
We reflect on Mahātmā Gandhījī as an embodiment of peace, love, and principled action. He was a divine soul who changed the world through knowledge of equality and non-duality. His life demonstrated simple living and higher thinking; he renounced everything to truly enjoy life. Renunciation is difficult, as greed clings like skin. Gandhījī lived his teachings. For example, when asked to advise a child against eating sweets, he first gave up sweets himself for a month so his words would not be hypocritical. His hard work was relentless; even in a moment of danger, he focused on productive labor. He showed love to all, including children and animals. True culture sees everyone as family—mother, sister, son—fostering unity and preventing harm. Great beings like Gandhījī and spiritual teachers exemplify peace, non-violence, hard work, and love. They show that love arises from within and is expressed through selfless action and truth. We seek this inner peace and love, often looking externally until we encounter a living example. Such a person embodies what we are all searching for, proving it is possible. By cultivating awareness and discipline day by day, we too can polish ourselves towards these qualities.
"Come after one month... since that day until today, I have not taken a little piece of sweet in my mouth."
"Where is love in all of this? The teachers are there to teach children from a point of love."

Yoga is a science
21:15 - 22:34 (79 min)
Yoga is the science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul, requiring spirituality. Our subject is Kuṇḍalinī and the chakras, the hidden powers in human consciousness. Chakras are rotating wheels that receive and circulate cosmic energy through the body. We possess five bodies or layers: the physical, energy, mental, intellectual, and causal bodies. The causal body holds both fleeting joy and divine, everlasting bliss. The soul is a collection of karma and qualities; it dissolves upon self-realization, merging with the cosmic One. Chakras must be purified through mantra, prayer, and yogic practices for the Kuṇḍalinī to awaken safely; without guidance, imbalance and unpleasantness can occur. Life is love, and God is love. Our happiness and world peace depend on individual friendship and forgiveness. We must act according to place and time. The Mūlādhāra chakra is the root foundation, associated with the earth element and the color red. The lotus symbolizes growing in the world while remaining untouched by its temptations and dualities. The four petals represent the four aims of human life: dharma (duty/righteousness), artha (wealth), kāma (righteous desire and procreation), and mokṣa (liberation).
"Yoga without spirituality is like a body without a soul; no achievement can take place without spirituality."
"If you protect your dharma, dharma will protect you."
