The Forms of the Divine
0:30 - 1:02 (32 min)
Recorded on
Divine reality manifests in formless and formed aspects. The formless, Nirākāra, is the unseen absolute. The formed, Sākāra, is God appearing in a tangible shape, like a statue or a human body, to be worshipped. All such divine incarnations endure suffering. Humans constitute a third aspect, capable of spiritual evolution. Through disciplined practice and ethical living—peace, non-violence, and harmony—one progresses. In the current age, one must be vigilant, abstain from harmful actions, and turn inward. When the mind sincerely pleads for grace, liberation is granted. "That God will never say that I am God. And when you think that I will be God, then you are not God." "Do not run behind gold, but behind God." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
If you don’t accept, you will lose the chance
1:10 - 1:48 (38 min)
Recorded on
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."

Gurudev is always merciful and loving
2:35 - 3:05 (30 min)
Recorded on
The grace of the guru is the ultimate refuge. The master's love is evident in his tireless presence for devotees, disregarding physical exhaustion to remain with them. There are many types of guides: parents, teachers, and finally the supreme Sadguru, who is essential for liberation. All pilgrimages exist at the guru's feet, making his physical arrival a profound blessing. The story of Dhruva illustrates perfect devotion; through his guru's mantra and dedicated meditation, he attained a permanent place in the heavens. Similarly, the guru constantly elevates disciples, forgiving all mistakes and never abandoning them. The guru's grace alone can free one from the endless cycle of birth and death, granting ultimate liberation. A story tells of two pilgrims seeking purification in the Ganges. They finally rest at an ashram whose guru had never visited the river. That night, they witnessed the Ganges, Yamuna, and Sarasvati—appearing as blackened goddesses—come to purify themselves by touching the dust of the guru's feet. All gods and goddesses take refuge in the guru. Therefore, having the guru's shelter removes all sorrows and sins, purifying the seeker completely. "When we place our head at the lotus feet of Gurūdeva, then there is nothing to worry about." "In the lotus feet of Gurudeva are all the pilgrimages." Filming location: Maha Kumbha Mela, India
A Month of Yoga and the Yogasūtra
3:10 - 3:32 (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

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.
Renounce and enjoy
5:10 - 6:06 (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
Do you know if you stay sanyas?
6:10 - 6:26 (16 min)
Recorded on
The essence of spiritual teaching is found in direct experience and presence, not in elaborate speech or rigid protocol. A revered teacher once communicated the entirety of wisdom by simply chanting the mantra of completeness. Initial encounters with a guru are often marked by personal anxiety and a fear of transgressing unknown rules. True connection begins with simple service and sitting in silent presence, which reveals a profound inner light. A teacher's challenging words are not a threat but an invitation to internal fortitude and self-clarification. The disciple's task is to hold onto genuine inner happiness amidst external doubt. Spiritual understanding is ultimately confirmed within one's own heart. "This is the essence. What more do you want?" "You are so happy now, but you don't even know if you will remain a sannyāsī."

How to practice The System Yoga in Daily Life
9:40 - 10:49 (69 min)
Recorded on
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."

Three levels of the consciousness and prana
10:55 - 12:04 (69 min)
Recorded on
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
Nada yoga and bindhu chakra (2/4)
12:10 - 13:28 (78 min)
Recorded on
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
Nada yoga and bindhu chakra (3/4)
13:35 - 14:53 (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."

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.

Gurudev is always with us - practicing mansik puja

The guru's eternal presence resides within the heart. His blessings and guidance are constant, transcending physical separation. Longing for the guru's form is natural, yet his essence is always within. Physical distance is like fish separated by a current; the inner connection ensures reunion. The fruit of devotion sweetens with patient waiting. The guru's unconditional love and perception never change. Through focused meditation and inner worship, one can experience his direct presence. This practice reveals he forever resides within, uniting all. "Even though dispersed by the current, they come together and unite again." "Gurudev is within us, all in one and one in all."

Develop your wisdom, do not steal
20:35 - 21:23 (48 min)
Recorded on
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

The Seed of Peace and the Resonance of Love
21:50 - 22:39 (49 min)
Recorded on
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."
