The Aim of Human Life, Melbourne
1:15 - 2:48 (93 min)
Recorded on
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.

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

A week of spiritual gathering concludes with guidance for integrating the teachings. The knowledge received must move from intellectual understanding into deep consciousness through personal practice and time. Learning is a continuous process from student to mastery, not a declaration of perfection. The diverse practices shared are designed to engage the heart and mind so the essence remains. True meditation is an inward journey through grace, not an external focus. Do not fear negativity or darkness, which is merely the absence of light within. Cultivate light through happiness, peace, and harmony. Honor your relationships, beginning with parents, and extend kindness outward. The practice is holistic, integrating humility and awareness from head to toe in daily life. "Now you have learned, but you still have not put it very deep in consciousness." "Afraid is darkness. So don't worry about anything." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Imperative of Daily Practice
5:05 - 5:44 (39 min)
Recorded on
A call to serious, daily yoga practice is essential for health and purification. Many appear as practitioners but do not practice consistently at home, leading to physical problems. The body naturally produces vikāras (illnesses) and is dominated by the tamas and rajas guṇas. A sāttvic body, free from vikāra, must be cultivated through disciplined effort. When the body is impure, the mind and intellect become clouded with negative thoughts and dullness. This obscures one's reality. Therefore, consistent practice of āsana, prāṇāyāma, and cleansing techniques is the only means of thorough purification. Daily discipline, along with seasonal Śaṅkha Prakṣālana and weekly Kuñjalakriyā, prevents health issues. Diet must also become sāttvic, avoiding meat and eggs, while learning how and when to eat properly. The foundation is purifying āhāra (diet), vihāra (recreation), ācāra (behavior), and vicāra (thought). "Practicing means at home, not just here. Here, you are only learning." "When the body is not healthy, when it is full of vikāras, then the thoughts are also full of vikāras." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Forms of the Divine
5:50 - 6:22 (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
Bhajan singing in the Strilky Ashram
6:30 - 7:05 (35 min)
Recorded on
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
Bhajan singing from Jadan Ashram
7:10 - 7:45 (35 min)
Recorded on
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
Bhajan evening in Jadan Ashram
7:50 - 8:25 (35 min)
Recorded on
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

Yoga in Daily Life Workshop in Villach on 13th of June
9:20 - 10:58 (98 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Austria
The One in All and All in One
11:05 - 11:33 (28 min)
Recorded on
The oneness of consciousness is the foundation of yoga and existence. The endless universe, Ananta Brahmāṇḍa, emerged from Śūnyākāśa, a dark blue space containing cosmic consciousness. This consciousness resides within the universe as a child in the mother's womb, Hiraṇya Garbha. Yoga is the balancing principle creating harmony between space, consciousness, and power. It is not merely postures but the reunion of individual consciousness with the cosmic. From divine will arose the sound Aum, the form of the supreme. This resonance created the elements: fire, air, water, and earth. The one cosmic consciousness manifests in all 8.4 million creatures. Human intellect is a powerful tool that requires education in tolerance, respect, and understanding to realize human qualities and rights. Life is a cycle, a recycling or reincarnation of consciousness on the waves of time, where destiny is shaped by the self. "One in all and all in one." "Yoga is the balancing principle between space and consciousness." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia

Time and destiny, Melbourne
13:45 - 14:55 (70 min)
Recorded on
The divine play intertwines destiny and grace. Even great souls endure profound trials, as seen in the lives of Jesus and the Sufi Mansur, who taught divine unity and faced crucifixion. Such experiences may be a destined task to demonstrate truth. The story of Lakshmana's near death illustrates divine intervention, where Hanuman retrieves the life-restoring Sanjivani herb from the Himalayas. In this age, spiritual practice is the essential refuge. Chanting God's name purifies energy within the body's centers, transforming swallowed circumstances. A master's guidance, aligned with sacred wisdom, can influence the unfolding of destiny. True devotion is an unbreakable bond of trust, merging the individual soul with the divine. "Why, Father, I?" And He said, "Because I trust you." "In this Kali yuga, oh humans, for us is only one source, shelter, or one thing to hold, and that is just kīrtan, bhajan." Filming location: Melbourne, Australia
The Space of Practice
15:00 - 16:01 (61 min)
Recorded on
Find your two square meters for life and death. Relax completely, aware of your body and breath. Practice āsanas to release tension and correct posture. Understand that yoga adapts to time and space, requiring guidance. Correct kyphosis to free shoulder movement. Maintain head alignment to avoid muscle strain. Practice rotation in āsanas with stretching, not force. Stimulate organs through lateral stretches and breath control. Use breath retention to influence circulation and prāṇa. Conclude by observing the effects on body, breath, and mind. "Be aware of the hole in which you are now, and be aware of the position of your body in this hole." "If you have a big kidney stone, do not practice this āsana, because it makes activation of the kidneys, and in that case, the kidney stone starts to move." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Self and The Soul, Melbourne
16:05 - 17:35 (90 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness, a blessing for human well-being to protect all creatures. The practice aims to bring mind and body to silence and balance to hear inner knowledge. Spiritual progress requires gentle, loving self-approach, not force, and perseverance during difficult times. The goal is to purify the individual soul of karma through thought, word, and deed, leading it to merge with the universal Ātmā, which is indestructible and present in all. "The whole practice is to come to that point of silence without changing it before it gets into your conscious." "Karma will leave no one free. Karma will come back."

Gurudeva hi Kevalam
17:40 - 18:35 (55 min)
Recorded on
The mind creates complex knots that only the Guru's grace can easily untie. Human nature is drawn to negativity and overthinking, which tightens our mental knots of sadness and confusion. These difficulties come and go. We often remember the Guru only when troubled, yet constant remembrance is needed. The Guru assigns karma yoga to quiet the restless mind and remove inner obstacles. Attempting to solve our own problems often worsens them. True solution comes from surrendering the knot to the Guru, who finds the simple loop to release it. Faith in the Guru's guidance transforms seemingly complicated situations. "A coin has two sides. We might see one side and not see the other side." "In the same way, our sadness or the thoughts, the negative thoughts in our mind, are a simple knot. But our mind tries to untangle it, to overthink it, and just makes the situation even worse."

Gurudev sees our past and future
21:05 - 22:21 (76 min)
Recorded on
The guru's grace can alter destiny and guide one beyond astrological predictions. Jyotishvidya provides a map of karmic tendencies, yet the guru's law is supreme. A story illustrates this: a seer wrote a miserable destiny for two princes. Their guru later instructed them to act against that written fate, demanding a golden deer and selling horses daily. By refusing ordinary outcomes, they compelled destiny to yield prosperity, eventually restoring their royal status. This demonstrates that the guru's instruction can rewrite life's script. Personal experience confirms that insisting against the guru's protective advice leads one into preordained suffering, while surrender brings peace. Relinquishing personal will allows the guru to orchestrate life, reducing karmic burdens. Complete surrender is true renunciation, not a loss but a natural turning toward divine joy, leaving suffering behind. The highest, permanent Ananda is found not in worldly or communal pleasure, but in this self-surrender. "Honī koṭā sakyevo guru"—what is supposed to happen, the guru can make it go away. "With Gurudev’s blessings, with Gurudev’s kṛpā, it doesn’t matter what you have in your destiny." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Mansik Puja, Vienna
22:25 - 23:13 (48 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
