The spiritual journey is about coming to the ashram for darśana and unity. We travel long distances but are not tired because we are drawn to this spiritual atmosphere to receive energy and blessings. The purpose is to meet our spiritual family and advance step by step. Yoga in daily life means maintaining our practice in heart and mind wherever we are. Yoga is not merely physical exercise; it is the unity of all life and the path to the divine. It encompasses every movement and connection, including the meeting between beings. All existence stems from Parabrahma Paramātmā, from which Bhagavān Śiva emerged through the convergence of elements—this too is yoga. Life began with creatures needing to eat, leading to jīva-jīva-bhakṣate, life consuming life. As humans seeking purification, we must choose dharma over adharma, avoiding killing. The story of Buddha illustrates non-violence; he practiced extreme care for all life and advocated a vegetarian path. We may not become like Buddha or Kṛṣṇa, but by remembering them and following our techniques, we progress toward Parabrahma. "One in all and all in one." "Yoga is not merely movements in the body... The whole part of humans and all other creatures, where there is movement, life—it doesn't matter from whom it is... everything is yoga." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

Bhajan sang by Gajanand.

Evening satsang from Kaliash Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Bhajans on the occasion of Sri Devpuriji Mahasamadhi.

A bhajan is a heartfelt plea to the divine, expressing the devotee's feeling of being forgotten in the guru's bliss. This bhajan, sung for a guru, voices a universal spiritual problem: the feeling of divine abandonment. The devotee calls upon the merciful Lord, asking if they have been forgotten in the guru's inner joy. The lyrics declare complete surrender, stating the Lord is everything and the only refuge. The composition intentionally uses general references to Shiva—his family, his mount—to allow any listener to identify the addressed guru with the divine. This identification is the point: to see the guru as God. The word "balihārī" is clarified not as physical sacrifice but as the total dedication of ego, akin to the devotion of King Bali in mythology. The teaching is that ultimate devotion means surrendering the self completely at the feet of the master. "Kya bhulga ye Śiva ap nijānandalerī?" — "Did you forget about me in your bliss?" "Śaraṇa Bali Hari" — "I am completely devoted to you." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Swamijis lecture from weekend seminar in Vienna, Austria about Bandhas, Mudras and Kriyas recorded on 30th of May 2010.

Tapasyā, or austerity, is the essential power for spiritual attainment and overcoming all obstacles. A dream instructs Pārvatī to perform tapasyā, affirming the truth of a sage's words. This practice grants happiness, removes troubles, and is the foundation of endurance for all saints. Obstacles on the path are natural; one must master physical and mental discomfort without letting them disturb the inner self. Fighting through leads to the aim; giving up leads to failure. The creative, protective, and destructive powers of the universe itself operate through tapasyā. This inner willpower prevents small things from destroying our aims. Without it, one quickly breaks down. Therefore, real sādhanā is essential. It makes the impossible possible, but must be practiced with contentment and oneness. The body's demands must be secondary; the consciousness must be fixed on the divine. Extreme endurance, like forgetting the body for millennia and sustaining on minimal sustenance, demonstrates this power. Do not give up. Fight against your inner weaknesses like sadness and jealousy first. "Tapasya is the giver of happiness and the remover of all troubles." "Nothing is impossible through sādhanā. Impossible things become possible, but sādhanā should be with santosha." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 150b

The divine name is the means to cross the ocean of worldly existence. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī is the incarnation for all beings. By contemplating His name with grace, one cuts down desire, anger, and greed. The world's illusion remains far away through the Guru's grace. His name is the boat for crossing; the Satguru's grace is that boat. One who receives this grace finds their passage. At the time of dissolution, the Guru's light will manifest within the heart. By always holding His enchanting form in mind, one need not fear the net of illusion. The name itself provides absorption in divine feeling and ensures safe crossing. "For the beings of the world—the jīvas and jinn—His name itself is the boat to cross the ocean of existence." "By the grace of always contemplating Him, desire and anger... For the jīvas and jinn, by His name, one is always immersed in divine feeling." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Evening satsang from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Bhajan singing fron Strilky. Ab Sop Diya, Aba Hama

A devotee expresses longing for the Guru and shares a devotional song. I wandered seeking a true friend like Gurudev but found none, leaving me restless. Without the Guru, I am like a fish without water, lost and without peace. Hearing the Satguru's name brings transformation. I awoke to knowledge by Gurudev's words. The Satguru is eternal, and I am grateful for his kindness and guidance. This is my interpretation of the song's sentiment, though I acknowledge it is not a proper translation. The song praises the arrival of the Satguru, which brings joy to the heart and removes the suffering of countless lifetimes. It is a plea for the Guru's grace and continuous spiritual fellowship, rejecting worldly desires for devotion alone. "Without water, the fish dies in agony. Please don't give me arrogance." "Satguru āye, mera mana harṣāye. Dhanyabhāga mere Satguru āye." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

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.

Evening satsang with Viswhaguruji from Presov, Slovak Republic. Bhajan singing. Talk about the meaning of the word Guru.

We are all one, a single reality appearing as many. We live temporarily with ideas of "mine" and "yours," but these will pass. Like separate raindrops uniting into a flowing creek, then a river, and finally the ocean, we are that ultimate oneness. The human body and its conflicts are temporary, but the soul is eternal, a drop within the divine ocean. Intellectual knowledge alone cannot grasp this; one must experience it. A story illustrates this: a professor mocked a meditating yogi, claiming there is no God. The yogi asked why small plants bear large melons while large trees bear small cherries. When a cherry fell on the professor's head, the yogi noted that if it were a large melon, it would cause harm, showing God's design is perfect and good. The guru-disciple relationship transcends physical distance, with the guru's guidance and presence being eternal and ever-accessible. True understanding comes not from asking but from receiving grace naturally. "Like rain falling... all drops unite to become the water that is flowing." "God has done everything good."

Evening satsang from main tent at Om Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Bhajan singing.

India, Winter 2004/2005. Report about the winter tour of Swamiji in India.

Public Lecture, Pula, Croatia, 2004

A mother's spiritual instruction and the peril of ego illustrate the path. A king indulging in pleasure is urged by his mother to renounce the world and seek truth. He immediately becomes a monk. His guru sends him to beg in his former kingdom, teaching humility. His mother then offers three cryptic advices: live in a protected palace, sleep on a comfortable bed, and eat royal food. She explains these mean living in an ashram under the guru's protection, finding comfort in exhaustion from sincere practice, and accepting alms as divine prasad. Separately, a muni performing severe austerity develops ego, believing trees and even the god of desire fear him. He is tempted by a maiden who secretly brings him sweet food, leading to attachment. He abandons his practice to pursue her, only to discover she is the god of desire in disguise, demonstrating how ego destroys spiritual progress. "Offer it to your guru, and then accept that prasāda from him, whatever remains, and that is the beautiful royal food for you." "I told you, if you have any type of this kāma, krodha, mada, lobha, ahaṅkāra in your sādhanā, I make those munis horses and dance on their backs." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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?"
