Visiting Alakpuriji's cave
0:10 - 1:18 (68 min)
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."

Gurudev is always merciful and loving
1:25 - 1:55 (30 min)
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."

Mansik Puja, Vienna
2:50 - 3:38 (48 min)
The subject is Mānasik Pūjā, or mental worship of one's chosen deity. Many practitioners ask how to meditate effectively. Meditating on external symbols like nature can eventually feel empty. The superior practice is internal, devotional service performed within the mind. This mental ceremony nourishes the practitioner with strength and clarity. It transforms perception, allowing one to see the living presence in a sacred image, not mere stone. This feeling is essential; without it, ritual is empty. Service performed with love and imagination is an expression of inner beauty. When you act from the heart in meditation, you explore your devotion. Love contains no demands; it is self-understood. This practice is a personal secret between you and your deity. By serving mentally, you receive peace and your love reflects outward, affecting your entire day. God's light is in every heart; realizing this is true self-realization.
"Therefore, the best solution is Mānasik Pūjā. When you perform Mānasik Pūjā, the mental ceremony, you emerge from your meditation full of strength, energy, love, and clarity."
"In every heart, in every heart, God’s light is reflecting. That is called self-realization. Self means yourself. Realization is that you realize: your self, and everyone is your self."

Yoga in Daily Life Workshop in Villach on 13th of June
3:46 - 5:24 (98 min)
A peaceful night and the daily routine are opportunities for spiritual awareness and unity with the divine.
Deep sleep is a state of unity beyond all worldly identities. Before sleep, offer the day's actions to God, seeking forgiveness and protection. Upon awakening, express gratitude for this protection during the state of ignorance. Greet the earth with awareness of its burden. Recognize water as the sacred element of life. The daily shower is an imitation of the sacred ablution, connecting us to nature. All elements are manifestations of the divine through which God works. Nourishment is a gift from the divine Mother. One should offer food to God before eating, transforming it into sacred sustenance. The kitchen is your pharmacy; true health comes from fresh, whole foods prepared with love and discipline. Grind spices freshly to preserve their life force and aroma. This practice supports physical health and emotional calm. Conduct, contemplation, and positive thinking are essential. Humbleness and focusing on the essential lead to realization. How one speaks and behaves towards others is fundamental; politeness opens hearts. Live simply and be content.
"In deep sleep, you know nothing of being a millionaire or a beggar. In deep sleep, you know nothing of whether you are sick or healthy."
"Your kitchen is your pharmacy. Ayurveda is in your hand. What you buy and how you cook, with love and organic whole foods and herbs, all fresh—that is Ayurveda."

The Seed of Peace and the Resonance of Love
5:32 - 6:21 (49 min)
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."

Bhajan singing from Slovenska Vas in the presence of Gurudev
7:15 - 7:36 (21 min)
The foundation of grace is complete surrender to the Guru, which removes all fear. The Vedas and Purāṇas seek the offering of your entire being. By surrendering to the Guru, one is promised safe passage across the worldly ocean. Trust is essential; without it, the relationship falters. The saints embody divine mercy across ages. The eternal call is to become humble dust at the divine feet. True freedom and immortality arise from this devotion. The root of everything is the Guru's form, feet, word, and grace.
"Because you have surrendered yourself to Gurudeva, do you have to be afraid?"
"Oh my child, then you will be free forever, immortal."

Singing bhajans by Swami Gajanandji
7:40 - 8:17 (37 min)
Devotion is the direct expression of the heart's longing for the divine. The song is an offering, a plea for refuge in the guru, who is the true shelter. Through repetitive chanting and praise, the individual consciousness seeks to dissolve. The devotee acknowledges personal incapacity for rigorous practice, surrendering entirely to grace. Worldly attachments and the snares of illusion are recognized as binding. The sole request is for the guru's compassionate hand to provide crossing. Liberation is described as the burning away of latent impressions and the cessation of identification with elemental principles. The act of singing itself becomes the transformative path.
"O Swāmījī, you live within, you live in my heart."

How to practice The System Yoga in Daily Life
10:40 - 11:49 (69 min)
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
11:55 - 13:04 (69 min)
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."

13:10 - 14:17 (67 min)
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.

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."

Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 2 - Part 2
15:00 - 16:11 (71 min)
The practice of Yoga in Daily Life continues systematically from Level Two, beginning with relaxation and progressing through specific āsanas and prāṇāyāma. A session starts with three Oṁ chants and deep relaxation in Ānanda Āsana, consciously releasing tension from toes to forehead. The full yoga breath is practiced, coordinating a three-part wave with movement. The āsana sequence includes Meru Pṛṣṭhāsana for spinal flexibility and energy, Catuṣpada Āsana for stretching and organ function, and Cakrāsana for posture and digestion. Each posture is performed with attention to breath, comfort, and the resulting physical and energetic effects. The practice concludes with prāṇāyāma to balance breath channels and a meditation preparation, ending with chants for peace.
"Āsana means, except for other meanings, also comfortable. So āsana should be a comfortable position."
"After exhalation, try to feel the complete relaxation of all the muscles and the inner peace, and stop all the movements in your body."

If you don’t accept, you will lose the chance
16:15 - 16:53 (38 min)
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.

17:25 - 18:58 (93 min)
Swamiji introduces MM Swami Jasraj Puri and explaines in great detail what means Mahamandaleshwar and Akkhara. Ashram: A means welcome, Shram means work. Ashram means: Come to work here on your body, mind, consciousness and realisation. Space is the endless glory of God. We don't know where is the beginning or the end. We are limited. The endless space is like a mother, the cosmic consciousness. Between space and consciousness is Yoga shakti. Yoga is balancing, harmonising and uniting. God is manifested in the form of vibration, sound, resonance - OM - Everything comes from that and merges in that. Yogis are meditating on that. The aim of human life is to help, to serve, to support others and selfrealisation. The human life is a precious diamant but we will not get it again and again. Translation of the bhajan: Sadho bhai ab kyu karo the moro. Recorded in Melbourne, Australia.
Nada yoga and bindhu chakra (3/4)
19:05 - 20:23 (78 min)
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."

Nada yoga and bindhu chakra (2/4)
20:30 - 21:48 (78 min)
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."
