The disciple's inner purity determines their capacity to understand the Guru's message. This message is a true instruction for spiritual progress. The Guru's guidance, though sometimes difficult, is medicinal and tailored to the disciple's specific qualities. Impurities arise from a lack of social education and from absorbing negative energies through bad company, which acts as a spiritual disease. The intellect's power of discrimination must be used to follow divine indications from nature and scripture, just as one would follow a parent's warning. Liberation comes from constant awareness of past actions and realizing one's true nature as the soul, beyond birth and death. "Even if we give milk to a cobra, the cobra will produce poison."

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

New Year satsang from Blanicka Yoga Centre Prague.

The Himalayan cave is a site of spiritual austerity and inner transformation. The physical cave is small, requiring one to bow to enter, symbolizing surrender. Its narrow passages were designed for protection, teaching that the heart must not become narrow but expand with joy. The surrounding glaciers and the powerful Alaknandā river embody the elemental principles where fire and water are interdependent. Meditating there, one hears the river's sound and experiences a profound environment where ṛṣis in astral bodies remain unseen. The journey demands inner strength, not physical comforts, and reveals that true sustenance comes from internal spiritual joy, not external sources. This inner development, like generating one's own oxygen, allows one to traverse the terrain. The path is a gradual spiritual ascent, merging the individual into cosmic oneness, where every cell becomes divine. The story of a ṛṣi who wished to finish all Vedas before death illustrates that divine knowledge is as vast as the Himalayas; one must ultimately surrender to the infinite. Spiritual practice is the inner alchemy of purifying the heart, grinding away the ego to reveal the innate nectar and light within, which is our true nature. "The cold becomes hot. That’s why the fire cannot remain without water. And water cannot remain without fire." "Can you count how many grains of sand are in your palm?... This is only a little dust of the Himalaya, but the whole Himalaya is there with us." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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

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. Introduction of Mahamandaleshwar Swami Vivekpuriji. Yoga in Daily Life is a system for everyone.

The universal Self, the Ātmā, is one and exists within all. Space, light, and energy are its radiance, constituting a universal body within. This Ātmā is unborn and immortal. To be understood, this universal principle must manifest, for humans require form. Knowing this Ātmā is Self-knowledge. When that knowledge dawns, all desires and qualities dissolve, like a snake shedding its skin. One arrives at the knowledge "I am Brahman." Yet, those who truly possess this knowledge never proclaim it. Humility is essential; declaring wisdom leads to loss. The individual soul, or jīvātmā, is a mixture of this Ātmā and individual qualities, bound by karma. The human body is given to attain Self-knowledge and transform from the bound soul to Śiva. This requires surrendering negative thoughts and desires. Finding shelter with a master ends the search, bringing true happiness and freedom from the cycle of pain. "The ātmā is ajar (un-aging), unborn, immortal, and everlasting. That ātmā is our reality." "Jīvātmā is not immortal. Jīvātmā is bound to destiny through karma."

Devotion centers on the guru's feet as the ultimate refuge and source of grace. The seeker's entire spiritual journey is directed toward this sacred focus. All effort and aspiration culminate in surrender at this divine threshold. The feet represent the complete embodiment of the teacher's wisdom and compassion. They are the portal through which worldly attachment is severed. Approaching them requires reverence, patience, and a gentle, steady resolve. The grace flowing from them is the supreme gift that liberates the soul. "The mind's sole attachment is to the guru's feet." "Grace is the donation of the feet, the feet..."

The yogic sleep of the realized being is a state of wakeful awareness. In that sleep, one knows wakefulness and makes the night bright as day. The senses are withdrawn yet perceiving, unattached like a white lotus in muddy water. One abides in the self, radiant on the throne of the heart. Wherever one looks or hears, there is no ordinary thought or sight. This is the sleep known to saints and sages, where consciousness remains fully conscious. "In that sleep, one knows wakefulness and makes the night bright as day." "Wherever one looks or hears, there is no ordinary thought or sight." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Evening satsang from Slovenska Vas, Slovenia.

The essence of spiritual transmission lies in the Guru's grace and the disciple's receptivity. The sacred words and hymns originate from the enlightened masters. These teachings are preserved in extensive texts. The precise historical details are less significant than the living truth they convey. The fundamental reality is known directly through this grace. Logical analysis of form cannot grasp this essence. The path is sustained by devotion and attentive listening. "Antaḥ Mūlaṁ Guru Vākyaṁ, Śravaṇa Mūlaṁ Guru Kṛpā." "Jaha sun chetan hai, aur nazar nahī̃ ānī hai..." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A pilgrim's vision reveals the urgency of spiritual action. The traveler sees a form, a reminder of life's fleeting nature. Act now on what you must do, or face regret. Delay is not an option. The divine provides answers and sustains life. The true Guru's word is liberation itself. It is the final refuge and the ultimate truth. Hold firmly to that promise. "Whatever you have to do, do it. Otherwise, you will regret it." "The Guru's word is liberation. The Guru's word is liberation." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Devotion manifests through repetitive praise and ecstatic song. The core practice is the invocation of divine names and gurus. This chanting is a phonetic rendering of a live devotional session. Its repetitive phrases are musical refrains, not discursive arguments. The varying epithets for deities are typical of invocation. The text is a record of spiritual expression, not logical exposition. Its primary function is celebratory praise. The content is an aural and devotional experience. "Guru Viśva Bādaśā, Arāja Sūno Sarkā." "Śiro maṇi manuṣya tā na dhārī huvā." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The fruit of the eyes is to behold the divine. All beings possess eyes, but their true purpose is rarely fulfilled. That purpose is achieved when one sees the Lord. This ultimate result is attained by seeing the Gurudev upon the sacred land. You are fortunate to be present in this holy ashram, using your eyes to see, your ears to hear the saints, and your voice to glorify God. This gathering yields the greatest happiness of life. You witness the fruits of decades of devotion here. A temple stands revealed, a consecration will occur, and scriptures will be spoken. Live each moment of this joy. "Everyone has eyes, but the fruit of the eyes is given to someone." "The result of the eyes is when you see the Lord with these eyes." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The true devotee has no fear. The human body is a system of energy, light, and sound centered at the navel, the Maṇipūra Cakra. This resonance guides existence. Enlightenment is the light of wisdom that dispels ignorance, which is darkness. Positive and negative thoughts create corresponding vibrations that direct one's path. Actions in the physical world create karma, which determines destiny in the astral world after death. One should fear only the consequences of one's own karma. The body contains 52 protective channels of sound and energy that guard its major chakras. Through practices like Nāḍī Yoga and mantra repetition, these inner sounds are awakened, leading to self-realization. Correct mistakes without fear; it is never too late to change. "Enlightenment means the wisdom that everything is clear to you." "But only from one thing you should be afraid: karma." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The nature of prāṇa and consciousness is explored. Consciousness shifts through waking, deep sleep, and dream states. The precise mechanism and the role of prāṇa in these transitions are subtle. Mastery over the dream state is a path toward samādhi, achieved through specific practices like yoga nidrā. Prāṇa is the vital guide, yet it is ultimately indefinable; it must be directly experienced like the taste of ghee. Spiritual realization is beyond intellectual explanation. Ayurveda, the philosophy of life, is fundamentally based on prāṇa. Practices like prāṇāyāma and yoga awaken the marma points and vital energies within the body. Yoga is a universal discipline for well-being, belonging to no single religion. The principle of non-violence, especially protecting creatures like the cow, is emphasized as a human duty. "Similarly, it is not easy to explain to you samādhi." "Prana is a width. Prana and the soul are very much in oneness." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

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."

A guided practice of deep relaxation, mindful movement, and breath awareness. Begin by systematically releasing tension from the feet to the face with each exhale. Practice creating and releasing tension in individual limbs, then the whole body, to feel the contrast. Move with slow, deliberate stretches, coordinating each motion with the breath to explore the body's range. Perform gentle spinal twists and core engagements, always moving within a comfortable range without pain. Conclude with focused breathing exercises to purify and calm the nervous system, followed by a period of silent integration. "Release the entire torso, both arms, the muscles in the neck, and all the muscles in the face as you send the exhale throughout the entire body." "The exhalation purifies, releases, and frees you from tension." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Awakening peace and divine love within is the true path. Peace cultivated in the heart must work through the hands. This divine love brings understanding, harmony, beauty, wisdom, and God. Hate and ignorance bring only suffering. Humans are created as protectors, challenged to create peace that spreads as love, tolerance, and respect. This is yoga in daily life—completed through selfless service, nishkām karma, without expectation. Speech and thought must be measured, as they make one one's own best friend or worst enemy. Looking outward toward material temptations leads to disappointment; one must look within. All possessions, including the body, are temporary and will be left behind. Liberation requires freedom from inner bondage like jealousy and anger. The universe is filled with a divine resonance, the sound of Aum, connecting all existence. Use time wisely, avoiding gossip, and seek this inner sound through silence and a positive life. "Where there is love, there is understanding. Where there is love, there is harmony." "Liberation means you are completely liberated." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The essence of practice is confidence in the path, not reliance on external numbers or objects. Modern life creates constant availability, a golden chain. It is vital to disconnect, as nothing is so important the world will collapse. Collective unconsciousness influences behavior; awareness allows one to resist trends. Do not seek meaning in ritual numbers like 108; such details are secondary. A mantra provides true protection, making concerns over directions or ground energies irrelevant. External items like crystals imply a lack of trust in the guru's power. The received mālā and mantra are sufficient. Confidence must be absolute, like the need for air. Practice requires observing feelings to avoid descending into negative states. Change thoughts and use positive energy like bhajans. Purification comes from awareness and rejecting temptations. Society changes with practice; satsaṅg provides essential support. Ultimately, heaven and hell are here; the goal is merging with the divine, beyond fear of losing the small self. "On which side is it good to put your head when we go to sleep? On the side where your pillow is." "When you will have such a feeling for God, immediately you will get self-realization."

In the Kali Yuga, imitation is a form of theft. People steal through counterfeiting currency, pirating software, and plagiarizing books and spiritual works. Copyright systems are commercial and temporary. However, the eternal scriptures cannot be sold or truly altered. Spiritual wisdom is like milk from a cow. Many feel all the butter of knowledge has already been taken by past saints. Yet, the cow itself—your own intellect—remains. Feed it with devotion and milk it with love; you will produce the butter of discrimination. Do not merely collect quotes like a bookworm. Consume true knowledge so it becomes your own wisdom through the union of knowledge and devotion. Many neglect scriptures, leaving wisdom in the dust. Do not become a self-made master of ego. Stay in the shelter of the true teaching and good company. Lost in bad society, one loses meditation, devotion, and patience, chasing desires instead. Helping hands are greater than folded hands. "The butter has been eaten already. Only the buttermilk remains." "They ate only the butter; they did not eat the cow. So, milk the cow." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Auckland, New Zealand.

Systematic practice is essential, not random exercise. Follow the book's clear structure for posture, breath, and duration. Human life involves many duties, unlike animals, but balance is key. We gather to learn, not merely to enjoy temporary comfort. Early yoga classes lacked system, causing confusion for new and advanced students alike. Therefore, a structured system from primary to university level was created. The practice is named to signify its daily application, not to claim exclusivity. The same postures exist everywhere, but the approach here is methodical and non-commercial, focused on health and universal fellowship. Practitioners worldwide connect through this shared path. Core knowledge comes from three essential books: the holy scripture, the yoga manual, and the text on hidden powers. Daily reading is vital. Practice must be consistent; avoid excuses. Even a short daily routine is crucial. The community is built on helping one another and progressing together. "Follow our yoga book. It contains many postures, and while we may incorporate different ones in between, our practice should stay on that path." "Practice, practice, practice as you can, but avoid laziness."
