How did creation begin?
0:30 - 1:16 (46 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the vast unity of all existence, encompassing every path and every life. You arrive not tired, for this spiritual atmosphere provides energy. We gather from different paths, becoming one in purpose to advance our spirituality day by day. Yoga is not merely physical practice; it is the unity of all life, the meeting of self and God, and the very process of creation and return. From the primordial state of Parabrahma Paramātmā emerged the elements and Śiva, representing the coming together that is yoga. Life began with a need, a fire of hunger that compelled movement and the search for food, leading to a state where life consumes life. As humans, we seek purification from this cycle. Great beings like the Buddha realized the path of non-violence, understanding that to kill and eat life is adharma, while compassion is dharma. We may not be like the great masters, but by following their teachings and our practices, we walk the path toward oneness with the divine. "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."

God takes care of everything
1:20 - 1:56 (36 min)
Recorded on
The divine support is ever-present, regardless of human recognition. Many have turned to spiritual practice, seeking more than physical techniques. Yoga encompasses the entire path outlined in scriptures like the Bhagavad Gītā. In times of difficulty, people instinctively turn towards a higher power. This power sustains all life, from the smallest creature to the largest. It provides for every being impartially. Therefore, one's identity should not be confined by religion or practice. True teachers guide from shared understanding, not from a claim of personal divinity. Historical spiritual figures worked within life's challenges. The feeling of divine absence during hardship is a misunderstanding; support is most intimate then. The present moment is what we have for practice and joyful living. "God gives to all the animals, and also to all trees, grass, everything." "When there is trouble, then you are on the palm of my hand." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Education for Flexible Identities
2:00 - 2:15 (15 min)
Recorded on
Education requires recognizing the teacher and learner within oneself. If you cannot find the guru inside, you cannot recognize an adequate external guide. One must simultaneously be governed and govern, embodying this contradiction to harmonize self and society. True education awakens self-education first in oneself, like a candle needing its own flame to light others. Modern schooling historically replaced one fixed identity, like a peasant, with another, like a worker, but today that rigid model is destructive. We need education for flexible identity, learning to manage energy for fight or peace, as in yoga. Freedom is not limited by others but created through them; society is a necessity for liberty, not an obstacle. Our words and thoughts matter, as we are largely water, and they influence our very structure. "If you are not able to recognize the guru in yourself, how can you recognize your guru in another person?" "The other person is not an obstacle but a necessity for me to live my freedom."

A Month of Yoga and the Yogasūtra
2:20 - 2:42 (22 min)
Recorded on
This month's focus is the Yogasūtra and the path of yoga. Yoga is the universal principle uniting consciousness and creation, originating from the sound Aum. The ultimate goal is for individual consciousness to merge with the cosmic source. Many sages and incarnations have conveyed this truth through different paths suited to different minds, all leading to the same one God. The sage Patañjali systematically compiled the teachings on yoga into sūtras. Yogis discovered the nature of the mind, intellect, and the soul that persists after the body dies. They mapped the journey of this soul, governed by the law of karma, through cycles of birth and death. This human life is a precious opportunity. The body is your temple and partner; how you treat it matters. The disciplined practice of yoga, as guided by a true knower of the Supreme, is the way to liberation from suffering. We will explore these instructions here in this pristine natural setting. "Who am I? From where did I come? What is the purpose of my coming? And where will I go? The destination is one." "Consciously or unconsciously, the destination or the purpose of life for every creature is to proceed towards the origin." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
A human should not kill
2:50 - 3:15 (25 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Introduction of Mahamandaleshwar Swami Vivekpuriji. Yoga in Daily Life is a system for everyone. Yoga was brought by Bhagwan Shiva for people to reach God. Nowadays many people eat meat and do similar bad things. People should not kill. But you already know and follow this. You should not eat meat. Because of an illness I cannot find the words but I am with you and I am very happy that you are not negative. The bhajans are very important, they tell people what is good and what is not.
We should not have duality
3:20 - 3:31 (11 min)
Recorded on
The divine lineage is eternal, manifesting across all ages. From the Satya Yuga through to the present, this sacred tradition continues. Great saints perpetually appear, representing a twofold divine expression: one is the singular incarnation of God for an era, and the other is the everlasting succession of saintly Gurus. This is not about a single individual; there are many Gurus, just as there are many parents. All are manifestations of the one divine reality. Your parents are your gods, yet we respect all elders as such. The soul is one, though forms differ. Other traditions are good, yet they often speak of a God from the past, not a living, ever-present God. Without a living God, it is like a child whose mother has died; where does one find that direct love? We must transcend duality, for God is everywhere. "One is as God, what we call, appearing once in that time... the second is called the saint, known as the Guru Bhagat... there is another who is forever coming." "Other religions are also very good, but they have no God—not a living God. Once they have a God, and that’s all." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Sri Deep Narayan Mahaprahuji
6:30 - 6:37 (7 min)
Recorded on
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
Dhyan Karo
6:45 - 6:57 (12 min)
Recorded on
Meditate, O mind, to dispel ill-intentions and remember the Guru's words. Through meditation, one gains wisdom and progresses toward becoming a yogi. It is the means to fulfill duties and make life fruitful. True renunciation arises from seeking detachment while still within worldly bondage. In all actions, remember the Lord. "Through meditation, you will become wise. Through meditation, you will become a yogī." "One who searches for detachment while in bondage becomes a renunciant."

Without Gurudev the whole world cries
7:25 - 7:41 (16 min)
Recorded on
The devotee's heart longs solely for the Satguru. Wandering the world finds no friend like the Guru; without that presence, there is weeping and no rest. Attachments obscure the path, preventing peace. Hearing the divine name awakens the seeker. The Guru's eternal kindness bestows the refuge of the lotus feet. This translation is merely an interpretation, not definitive. The essence is praise for the Guru's arrival, which brings joy, dispels illusion, and cuts the bonds of endless sorrow. "Without that fragrance, the whole world weeps, and I can find no sleep; I can find no rest, day or night." "Satguru āye, mera mana harṣāye. Dhanyabhāga mere Satguru āye."

The best ways of learning
10:05 - 10:56 (51 min)
Recorded on
The essence of bhajan is concentration, meditation, and devotion. Bhajan is a resonant, collective listening. One form is the Doha, a two-line question and answer, ideal for spiritual learning. Other forms include drama and storytelling, which impart unforgettable knowledge from a young age. True learning is joyful and deep, unlike forgettable academic study which lacks heart. Knowledge must balance heart and brain. Stories teach this balance, illustrating that purity of heart, not wealth, defines true devotion. A story tells of a poor gardener who, offered vast sums for a garland, chose instead to give it to his guru, demonstrating that bhakti is surrendering everything. "Bhaj means to concentrate, to meditate, and to devote. That is bhajan." "That is bhakti. Who can have bhakti without bhakti?" Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Protect Nature and be truthful

Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from weekend Yoga Seminar in Nadlac, Romania. Slovak folk dance before Vishvaguruji's talk. Nadlac Town Mayor says some welcoming words to Vishwaguruji for his first visit to Romania. All creatures are connected to one God. If you don't believe that you are lost. All creatures feel the same feelings as humans. Don't be the cause of pain to any creature. Animals can make mistakes but we are human. The first god is the mother. Where there is water, there is God. Respect the vegetation and the rain. First happiness is good health. Saints are here for the sake of all creatures - but you will liberate yourself.
Renounce and enjoy
12:00 - 12:56 (56 min)
Recorded on
Human life is given to be above everything. What you see in others is a reflection of your own inner qualities. You were born with nothing; all possessions and relationships are temporarily given and will be taken. Your destiny is shaped by past karma. Negative qualities like jealousy are a fire that burns across many lives. What you give returns to you a thousandfold. To enter the kingdom of the Lord, you must sacrifice your inner feelings, especially negative ones. True renunciation is letting go of what disturbs you in others. Self-realization means seeing the one ātmā in all. Repair your life by developing equal vision and loving all. "Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice." "Be the change you want to see." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Universal Principles of a Happy Life
13:00 - 13:54 (54 min)
Recorded on
Yoga in daily life means living by positive principles. The universal goal for all beings is happiness. This happiness involves light, sound, and energy—your wisdom, inner call, and talent to act. Share your happiness with others; this makes it grow. Real happiness does not come from causing others unhappiness. The universal principle found in every heart is love. Love is endless and should increase daily. Become love itself, and you become non-violence. Contentment is mercy awakened in the heart. Breath is life. Learn the abdominal breath for health and longevity. Chanting Aum awakens sound, energy, and light within the three channels. "Each and every entity is longing and active day and night to realize happiness." "Your nature is to be happy. Your nature is to share the happiness." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
You are the helper of everyone
14:00 - 14:53 (53 min)
Recorded on
The mantra "Oṃ Aki Rāchanā Śarīra" points to the uncreated body of Consciousness, not the physical form. This true nature is the eternal, unchanging Self that was never born and will never die. Chanting is not an invocation to something external but an affirmation of one's own reality. It dissolves identification with the temporary body-mind. The Uncreated Body is not an object to find but the very Subject, the I AM, and the knowing space in which all experience appears. It is the substratum of all states. Let the mantra's vibration resonate as a direct pointer to this truth. Chant with devotion and inquiry as a bridge from the illusion of being a person to the reality of pure Presence. "Oṃ, the Uncreated Body." "It is the very Subject, the I AM, the Knower of all experiences." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Make a path through the forest
15:50 - 16:41 (51 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from weekend Yoga Seminar in Nadlac, Romania. Prana is stronger than the physical body. There are always problems in daily life. Partners are together for a period of time then conflicts arise - that is similar to spiritual life. We need a clear path, a sattvic (pure) life, and have to make this path through the forest. Just reading does not help us. We should change ourself inside, otherwise, time is lost. The realisation of Atma Gyana (Self-knowledge) takes more time.
The Presence of the Guru
16:45 - 17:28 (43 min)
Recorded on
The Guru is omnipresent, observing and guiding from within. His physical location is secondary to his constant spiritual presence. He feels the emotions and energies of his disciples, reacting to their inner states. The path requires surrender, trust, and devotion, not logic or personal effort. Service and love cultivate this relationship. Approach him for blessings, not for answers to trivial questions. He tests faith to strengthen it. His various expressions, even stern ones, are forms of blessing for the disciple's growth. Ultimately, he is the sole guide and protector. "When you close your eyes, or when you even open your eyes, you can see his form sitting here." "If we have that devotion towards him, if we have that love towards him, then we are happy and he is happy." Filming location: Slovenia
The first wealth is health
17:35 - 18:24 (49 min)
Recorded on
The first happiness is a healthy body. Without the body, there is nothing. It is easy to dismiss the body when healthy, but illness reveals its importance. This body is a divine gift, a perfectly balanced system given freely. We must keep it clean and not destroy it through unnatural nourishment. Health requires good space, pure air, clean water, and natural food. Our lifestyle creates psychic problems, but humans can heal themselves. Practice yoga, prāṇāyāma, and meditation. Use organic things and embrace a natural life. True prosperity is having enough for your family, not excessive greed. A loyal partner and mutual understanding create a happy household. Obedient children and good neighbors are further blessings. Fresh milk from a cared-for cow is a source of health and a maternal bond. "Without the body, there is nothing." "Money is not everything, but without money, nothing is there." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Evening satsang from Om Ashram (1/2)
18:30 - 19:09 (39 min)
Recorded on
The path is established through devotion. The river of wisdom has manifested. All present are requested to raise both hands and clap. The program proceeds with the Guru's blessings, beginning with Guru Vandana and bhajans. This demonstrates the influence of the tradition. One should be proud to be born on this land where many saints and sages were born. We prostrate to the guru and offer our life force. The guru's grace makes everything possible; without it, nothing is possible. Clapping is an opportunity. The Guru teaches that one should not have ego, for ego decides fate. The satsang proceeds solely in the direction of the revered Guru. "Without the grace of Gurū Mahārāj, nothing is possible." "Guru Mahārāj Jī tells us... that we should not have ego. The one who has ego, his fate is decided." Filming location: Rajasthan, India
The Grace of Gray Hair and the Discipline of Yoga
19:15 - 19:50 (35 min)
Recorded on
The goal of yoga is the merging of individual consciousness into cosmic consciousness, ending suffering through unity and discipline. Gray hair signifies the wisdom earned from life's tests, a natural beauty superior to artificiality. True culture, now often lost, is found in living principles, not museums. Yoga is the disciplined path to this realization, requiring lifelong practice without expectation of reward. The essence is non-violence in thought, word, and deed, which creates harmony where even animals feel no fear. Success comes from surrendering all actions and their fruits to the divine will, becoming like a trusting child free from guilt and stress. This surrender, coupled with steady discipline, is the key to liberation. "Yoga means oneness, yoga means unity, yoga means harmony, and yoga means balance." "Discipline is a key to success, and who has no discipline cannot be successful." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Maya can destroy everything
20:10 - 20:52 (42 min)
Recorded on
Greed destroys spiritual progress, causing a fall regardless of one's efforts. A hardworking man saw an advertisement for a magical golden egg promising wealth. Consumed by greed, he spent all his savings on it, quit his job, and isolated himself to guard it. He eventually cracked the egg, finding only an empty, painted shell. He lost everything. This illustrates how greed corrupts discernment. Another story tells of a rich man who abandoned everything to collect gold from a mythical land. He filled his bag endlessly, forgetting to eat or drink, and died there, still collecting. A true account involves a dedicated swami who left his guru to reclaim ancestral land. After selling it, he bought a motorbike and invested in a business, but met with ruin, ending up serving tea by a roadside. These stories show greed's destructive power, which can be countered by constant remembrance of the guru, not just in distress. Mantra practice requires correct technique, purity of heart, and devotion, which ultimately transcend mere rules. "It doesn’t matter how much work we do and grow higher and higher, and then one of these things comes and we roll down the mountain." "When the virus of greed comes, then we see nothing."

Longing for the God
21:00 - 21:49 (49 min)
Recorded on
Devotion is a fragrant merging with the divine. A heart clear in devotion knows it belongs only to God. This devotion unfolds like a blossom at dawn, each petal an offering, its fragrance merging into infinite space. The soul longs for oneness with Brahman. This merging is a complete marriage, without separation. Worldly attachments decay, but the soul is immortal. True devotion is a spiritual longing, a viraha, a wound only God can heal. It brings wakefulness, unlike the sleep of worldly entanglement. The aim of human life is this union, awakening to the divine dwelling in every heart. This awareness fosters universal love and respect, healing humanity. Spiritual education is essential to cultivate this, making humans who embrace the world. "Darśan do, please appear to me. My eyes are thirsty." "O my Gurudev, give me the dust of Thy lotus feet." Filming location: London, UK
Shiva changed poison into nectar
21:55 - 22:47 (52 min)
Recorded on
Śiva is the light of liberation, the divine harmony of truth and beauty. He acts when human effort is exhausted, rescuing devotees. This harmony is balance, devoid of conflict and selfishness. Śiva, as Mahādeva, is the greatest power. The individual soul (Jīvātmā) is connected to the Ātmā, which is one with the supreme soul (Paramātmā). Realizing this unity makes one a Mahātmā, and at the highest consciousness, a Mahādeva. The true Guru is that realized Ātmā, not the physical body, which is merely a container for that priceless diamond. Modern pursuit of money and technology represents a decline in consciousness. Scientific research cannot apprehend the soul; divine creation is perfect and beyond human replication. Manipulating nature, such as with sterile seeds or artificial conception, destroys natural harmony and leads to societal discord. True knowledge comes from spiritual practice, not instruments. One must live in harmony with nature, renounce selfish desires, and purify the mind to realize the inner Ātmā, which is the Paramātmā present in all. "Śiva means light. Śiva means liberation: Satyam, Śiva, Sundaram." "Where there is harmony, there is no fight, no jealousy, and no selfish use of Śiva’s power. Then the light comes." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
