Om Sri Deveshwar Mahadevaya Namaha
0:25 - 0:58 (33 min)
Recorded on
A session of mantra chanting and practice for spiritual cleansing. The practice begins with a powerful mantra chanted 108 times. The core learning method involves repetition, starting slowly, then increasing speed, and returning to a slow pace for integration. This technique applies to complex texts like the Sannyāsa verses. The tempo for ritual recitation, such as during an abhiṣeka, is often fast for practical reasons, though personal practice allows for individual pacing. Modern tools like phones can aid in reading texts. The session includes reviewing previous mantras and chanting various hymns and salutations to divine principles and teachers. The process emphasizes internalization through rhythmic repetition. "Na Karmaṇā Na Prajāyā Dhanena Tyāgenaike Amṛtatvamānaśuḥ." "Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvaraḥ. Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Divine Lineage of Alakpurījī: Saints, Siddhas, and the Eternal Guru
1:40 - 2:10 (30 min)
Recorded on
The divine lineage flows from the Himalayan Siddha Pīṭha of Alakpurījī. This holy place in the high valleys near Badrināth is where Alaknandā and another river meet. Great beings incarnate in every yuga to protect dharma and liberate souls. These are the Nityāvatāra, the eternal gurus embodying the creator, sustainer, and dissolver principles. They often move hidden in the world. A seeker named Devapurījī received Alakpurījī's light and blessings, gaining great siddhis. He later bestowed this light upon Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, an incarnation of Viṣṇu. Mahāprabhujī's dear disciple was Śrī Svāmī Madhavānandapurījī, whose divine birth we commemorate. The path requires complete surrender, not a desire for quick miracles. When God calls, one must be ready to go. "O Arjuna, from time to time I incarnate in every yuga to protect the dharma, to liberate all the pure souls." "Guru Brahma, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Para Brahma, Tasmai Śrī Guruve Namaha." Filming location: India
The One in All and All in One
2:15 - 2:43 (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

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."

Bhajans evening from the Strilky Ashram
6:30 - 7:33 (63 min)
Recorded on
The human body is a sacred shawl and a divine coach, given for a short time. The shawl is woven from the five elements on the wheel of the eight chakras, colored by the name of God. Fools soil it quickly, but saints keep it pure. The body is a coach pulled by ten powers, guided by the mind, with the soul as the king inside. Five thieves—desire, anger, pride, greed, and ego—steal this coach until the guru's word drives them away. This world is a two-day meeting; we arrive and depart alone, accompanied only by our deeds. The goal of life is nothing less than God-realization. "This shawl is colored with the color of the name of God." "In this coach, the king, the ātmā, is sitting."

Bhajan evening in the Strilky Ashram
7:40 - 8:33 (53 min)
Recorded on
Awaken from the slumber of ignorance. Time is slipping away after countless sorrowful lifetimes. The human birth is a priceless diamond, not easily attained again. One wanders through existences trapped in illusion without the True Guru. Take refuge in the True Guru to shatter illusions and fulfill this birth. Search for the Ātman within, for the divine resides in the heart. This world is false, a cage of karma and qualities where the soul suffers. One is bound by the "I" and attachment, yet is of the nature of immortal bliss. Through the Guru, one unites with Truth and ends the cycles of birth. "Search for the Ātman within the human body. Rāma is found within, brother, awaken." "This world is false. The True Guru explains the truth, but the fool disbelieves." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Repeat the name of Gurudev
9:20 - 9:47 (27 min)
Recorded on
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."

Gurudev sees our past and future
13:35 - 14:51 (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
A Gentle Yoga Practice
15:00 - 16:07 (67 min)
Recorded on
A guided yoga practice focusing on breath, alignment, and awareness. Begin by relaxing completely on the floor, connecting breath to movement. Practice Pavanamuktāsana on your back for digestion, then in a standing position for balance and focus. Maintain spinal alignment and initiate movements from the hip joints. Be aware of your pelvis and avoid locking the knees. Standing poses like Ekapāda Uttānāsana strengthen the legs and improve concentration. Practice with a firm surface for better balance. Āsanas like Bhujaṅgāsana require elbows close to the body to protect the shoulders. Deep, abdominal breathing cleans the inner channels, allowing prāṇa to flow. The practice generates warmth, deepens circulation, and integrates body and mind through conscious movement and breath control. "Pavanamuktāsana is excellent for digestion." "When we start to breathe a little deeper, we immediately have more energy and less tension." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Time and destiny, Melbourne

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

We are full of resonance
18:10 - 19:04 (54 min)
Recorded on
All paths converge to a single essence. Different masters and gods are like separate drops that ultimately enter the ocean. From that ocean, differentiation arises again, just as water evaporates to form clouds. The purpose is to understand why some return quickly while others fall far away. A story illustrates this: seeds ground between two stones become flour, but a handful near the central hook remain complete. Those who surrender at the holy feet are like those seeds; they are not ground but come to the highest. Another story tells of a yogi saddened by slaughter; in meditation, it was revealed the karma belongs to the actors, not the witness. Satsang attendees are already there and will reach the supreme. The sound within, like the ocean's resonance, is Nādarūpa Parabrahma. This vibration is in the whole universe and within all. Do not sit passively like a dead body; respond and awaken to this sound. "Those who come to the Gurudevs, or your God, or your temples, or your church—where we are at the holy feet of the gods—they will not be ground." "It is their karma, and they will get it back again. But you have done nothing. You see, it is painful, but you have not done." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Gurudeva hi Kevalam
19:50 - 20:45 (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."

Live as a Human
20:50 - 21:24 (34 min)
Recorded on
The oneness of all life is realized through the path of non-violence and recognizing our shared divine essence. Śiva is the primordial source from which everything emerges. All life, from the smallest ant to humans, is equal and sacred. The principle Jīva Jīva Bhakṣate signifies that life consumes life, urging us to avoid causing harm. We must affirm "I am human" as a constant reminder to act with compassion and avoid killing. Consuming meat and alcohol violates this sacredness. True spirituality means seeing the one God in all and giving up harmful habits. We are like a drop merging into the ocean of the divine; individual identity dissolves into universal oneness. The practice is to live without harming any creature. "All creatures are doing. Those who are living without any killing—avoiding alcohol, meat, all creatures—that is what they are doing." "Jīvā means life, life, and in that life there are all creatures: a little ant, this little ant, and humans, and all are all equal, what is living, living." Filming location: Gold Coast, Australia
Be happy be good
21:30 - 22:15 (45 min)
Recorded on
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
22:20 - 22:59 (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 real marriage
23:05 - 23:58 (53 min)
Recorded on
The essence of devotion is seeing God in all things, transcending material focus for pure spiritual truth. The divine principle, Deva, represents supreme purity and humility, the essence of all gurus and gods. Many seek God through external names and rituals, but true spirituality is found in the heart, in love, peace, and harmony. Life consumes life, often without awareness, while humanity walks two paths: one focused solely on the Name of God, and another justifying worldly actions. Traditional marriage ceremonies symbolize union and duty, with the husband leading to provide and protect. Modern marriages often lack this enduring commitment, contrasting with past unions built on shared sacrifice and understanding, as shown in the story of the bread. The ultimate guidance is the guru's darśana—the sight of God—which is the true wealth, not money, but the joy of spiritual connection. "People sing that Jesus said, God said... but the point is not gold, but the heart, pure spiritual spirituality." "Darśana means we see each other. We see each other also, not only humans—animals, trees, everything." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
