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

Arrival of Nandeshwar to Om Ashram. Jadan, Rajasthan, India.

Yoga is the essential practice for peace, requiring direct experience over theory. Indian culture and values provide the foundation for a harmonious life, yet modern focus drifts toward material Western influences. True education balances material knowledge with spiritual wisdom, as both are necessary for the complete human being. Cultural roots must never be forgotten, for they sustain identity and purpose. The global presence of Sanātana principles reveals a shared heritage, fostering universal peace. Personal transformation through practice and traditional saṃskāras cultivates inner discipline and societal harmony. "Tons of theory are nothing compared to a gram of practice. Until we practice yoga, there is no yoga." "Our roots are here, so we should stick to that. No matter how high you have reached, you should never forget your roots."

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

A clear aim is essential to prevent the intellect from becoming a destructive distraction. Without a definite purpose, the mind wavers among endless possibilities, changing direction with every new suggestion. This lack of clarity makes one susceptible to external influences and gossip, which act like poison, spoiling spiritual practice as lemon curdles milk. Negative talk and jealousy introduce destructive thoughts that can damage years of spiritual effort. One must therefore cultivate an intensive, unwavering aim and avoid all sources of negative influence. Protect your consciousness from harmful information that creates doubt and disturbs your peace. Spiritual progress requires guarding the mind and maintaining humility, allowing the intellect to become a supportive tool rather than an obstacle. "Your aim must be very clear, intensive, and good. Nothing should be able to change you." "One stupid thought, one stupid person, can destroy all your spiritual sādhanā." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 180a

True yoga is not found in physical postures but in inner realization. Liberation comes through grace and knowledge, not by torturing the body. Do not mistake exercise for yoga. A yogi is one who attains equal vision and universal consciousness, which may require many lifetimes. Outer beauty distracts; inner beauty transforms. Even an enemy constantly thinking of God receives a visit. Conflict and suffering arise from inner turmoil, not external circumstances like financial loss. Meditation resolves this inner conflict for everyone. "Liberation will not come from the postures of the body." "On the day when you become a yogī, even Lord Viṣṇu will come and stand up when you are coming." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Bhajan singing on Gurupurnima satsang.

A devotee pleads for the Satguru's protection and honor. The Guru's power is described as encompassing mighty forces while maintaining perfect stillness. The plea references a devotee seeking refuge, ultimately leaving other companionship. The speaker appeals for mercy, acknowledging it is now their turn for grace. Instructions are given for writing specific praises. A final verse invokes divine names and forms. "You have encompassed the water and the elephant, and the water remained still." "O Satguru, preserve my honor." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The human birth is a rare and urgent opportunity. The scriptures and all aspects of existence point to a single imperative. The sole necessity is to fix the mind upon the Guru's name. This precious human form is exceedingly difficult to obtain again. One must become truly human in this very moment. By being steadfast in this practice, the vision of the true Self is attained. Do not waste this fleeting chance. "Oh lamp of qualities, Hari, fix your mind on the Guru’s name. This opportunity will not come again; be human." "This is the totality of knowledge: to be human."

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

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

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."

Yoga Summer Retreat from Vep, Hungary. Bhajan singing including Guruvara me cal usa una des.

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." "Human life is great, but at the same time, very poor because we have too many temptations." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The essence of satsaṅg is transformation through timeless presence. Stories from the past contain profound teachings to be digested. Time and place dictate appropriate behavior, yet the essence of pure yoga remains constant, adapting through different eras. The teacher is always in accordance with time, yet also ahead of it. This foresight is demonstrated through precise predictions that later manifest. The required flexibility is not merely physical but of the heart and mind. Constant change transforms the disciple, akin to a worm becoming a bee, which is a necessary but difficult process. Being present in the satsaṅg's energy is a blessing, requiring no other duties. One must decide to absorb this transformative energy fully, like a wooden spoon retains honey. This energy changes individuals, society, and the environment. Physical presence is paramount; watching remotely is an incomplete experience. The teacher provides the essential current, like electricity to lighthouses or the thread in a mālā. Each disciple is given precisely what is needed to grow, whether in good soil or on stone. "Your money will be better than a shilling. Two shillings will be one kuna." "If you have a beautiful picture of a rose, it has no fragrance." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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."

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

Swamiji in Sliac, April 2007

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."

Welcome to the practice of Yoga in Daily Life, a complete system for health and spiritual development. This system originates from an authentic Himalayan lineage. It is presented in a book of eight levels, each containing physical, breathing, and mental exercises, including purification techniques and meditation. A core principle is Karma Yoga, the practice of selfless service and love for all beings. The practice also advocates a vegetarian lifestyle. Today's session continues from Level One. The practice integrates postures, breath control, and deep relaxation to harmonize body and mind. "The light and teaching of this yoga science passed through an authentic and uninterrupted stream of wisdom." "Prāṇāyāma not only influences the physical body but also the brain centres, balancing both hemispheres to regain the harmony that is the aim of a yoga life."

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.

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Auckland, New Zealand.

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

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."

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."
