The Presence of the Guru
0:05 - 0:48 (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
Maya can destroy everything
0:55 - 1:37 (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."

God takes care of everything
1:45 - 2:21 (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
The Grace of Gray Hair and the Discipline of Yoga
2:25 - 3:00 (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
A human should not kill
3:05 - 3:30 (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.
A Month of Yoga and the Yogasūtra
3:35 - 3:57 (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
Nada yoga and bindhu chakra (3/4)
4:05 - 5:23 (78 min)
Recorded on
The path of Nāḍī Yoga integrates sound, light, and energy for spiritual awakening. These three principles reside dormant within the navel lotus, the Maṇipūra cakra, essential for all aspects of health and God-realization. The only way to enter the central Suṣumnā channel is through this navel cakra, utilizing the three bandhas in prāṇāyāma. When consciousness enters Suṣumnā, the chakras are purified and kuṇḍalinī awakens, which is simply this unified energy. This leads to the Sahasrāra, the door to liberation, where the individual soul realizes its identity as Śiva, the formless cosmic consciousness. Negative emotions like anger and jealousy contract the lower centers and obstruct this energy. Mastery of Mūlabandha is crucial, as the sensation it creates releases mental tension. True practice requires constant self-vigilance, forgiveness, and purifying one's inner dialogue, for you are your own primary obstacle and liberator. The divine sound, or śabda, is the guiding resonance through which knowledge and liberation are received. Ultimately, light, sound, and energy active in the navel lotus enable the unfoldment of consciousness. "Without nāda, without sound, there is no way. It is that sound which guides us through the universe." "Through that sound, through the words, through the resonance, we are together. And it is that resonance which brings us together."

Renounce and enjoy
5:30 - 6:26 (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
Bhajan singing in the presence of the Master
6:30 - 7:17 (47 min)
Recorded on
The sacred syllable Om is the primal vibration from which this three-qualitied illusion of the world is projected. From Om, all knowledge and the Vedas themselves emerged. The true knower, realizing this, finds bliss. The Guru's grace is essential for this realization. Without the Guru's guidance, one remains lost, not knowing what to do with worldly or spiritual wealth. The Guru's feet are the ultimate pilgrimage, praised by the Vedas and Purāṇas. The divine sound, Śabda, is the ultimate power; it does not kill but slays limitation. Through the Guru's arrival at the eternal door, the soul finds liberation. "From Om, the three-qualitied Maya created this world." "The Vedas and Purāṇas sing, 'Guru’s feet are the sacred pilgrimage.'" Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Guru bhakta jagata me na rahe
7:25 - 8:08 (43 min)
Recorded on
The divine reality is one, formless, and present everywhere within all beings. Rāma, meaning God or the Guru, lives in every heart. Inside and outside are the same vast oneness. The whole world resides within you. This reality is not born and does not die. It is completely fearless. It has no color, shape, or boundaries. It is indescribable and beyond name. Without the Guru, one cannot understand this truth. The devotee who realizes this has nothing to fear from the world. "Looking up or looking down, I only have your darśan, and there is no need to go anywhere." "Without the guru, you cannot understand this." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Pyare darashana diyo aj
8:15 - 8:18 (3 min)
Recorded on
The heart's agitation arises from separation and unfulfilled longing. This state is described as a profound inner turmoil. The eyes of the devotee, represented as the eyes of the cowherd and of the divine, do not grant the vision being sought. This absence of divine sight leads to restless days and sleepless nights. The longing itself becomes a form of sustenance, yet it cuts like a blade. The experience is one of yearning for a connection that feels withheld. The fragment captures the essence of devotional anguish. "Be rakhalnī chokhā, Kalnī chokhā, Darśan na dī chokhā." "Darśan sannakā nindā, Nairin divasannā, Bhukkanī kāso kattatannā."

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from weekend Yoga Seminar in Nadlac, Romania. Slovak folk dance before Vishvaguruji's talk.

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.

The Universal Principles of a Happy Life
14:00 - 14:54 (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

The first wealth is health
18:10 - 18:59 (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

Make a path through the forest
19:45 - 20:36 (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 best ways of learning
20:40 - 21:31 (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
You are the helper of everyone
21:35 - 22:28 (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
Shiva changed poison into nectar
22:35 - 23:27 (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
Longing for the God
23:35 - 0:24 (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
