The completness of our being
0:40 - 1:51 (71 min)
Recorded on
The eternal journey of the soul is understood through the body. The body is a house where God speaks. Every creature operates by this divine intelligence, evident in the coordinated flight of birds or movement of fish. The soul occupies this body, which is like a chariot pulled by ten horses—the five senses of perception and five of action—controlled by the mind. To understand the soul, first understand and purify the body. Control hunger and thirst. Purify emotions like jealousy, which attack the body. Yoga and prāṇāyāma are sciences for this purification, not acrobatics. Āyurveda is the knowledge of life-giving nourishment. Our actions, or karma, generate reactions, causing the soul to journey through various realms. This journey is like a blind person circling a hall, missing the door to liberation due to desires. The soul takes different forms based on karma. Human life is a rare chance to end this cycle through purification and right understanding. "Jisme Nārāyaṇa Bole, Par Guru Binā Bheda Kaun Kholē." "The body does not die. Only space in the space, air in the air, water in the water, earth in the earth." Filming location: London, UK
A Message of Peace from Prague
2:00 - 2:07 (7 min)
Recorded on
The key to our future is universal unity and peace. I witnessed this spirit in a crowded square where people of all languages smiled together, a vision for our world. Achieving this requires not just public desire but political will. Prague has a historical legacy of promoting peace, from medieval delegations to modern nuclear agreements. Our world faces civil wars, climate change, and threats from weapons and terrorism. I work with parliamentary networks seeking pledges from nations to not be first to use and to reduce nuclear arsenals, aiming to lower global risk. Support these efforts. True peace begins within each person. "There is only one God, the universal God, only one religion, humanity, and only one nation, humankind." "Peace among nations is dependent on peace in human beings." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
Around The World - Vegetarianism and top sport, Part 1
2:15 - 2:39 (24 min)
Recorded on
Vegetarian nutrition fully supports elite athletic performance. A vegetarian diet based on non-injury provides complete nourishment. Properly prepared, it offers all necessary energy without burdening the body. The foundation is high-quality, organic ingredients. Whole grains like pasta provide sustained energy from complex carbohydrates. Tofu and legumes supply easily digestible protein for muscle development. Spices are essential medicines that enhance flavor, aid digestion, and improve nutrient absorption. Creativity in combining these elements is vital. Dairy products and healthy fats like olive oil and ghee complete the nutritional profile. This approach ensures athletes receive all required proteins, vitamins, and minerals. "Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties; from some studies, it seems to be one of the most potent anticancer agents." "Spices are truly medicines. Each spice has such a wide range of effects that simply by taking them, we can not only maintain our health but also significantly improve it." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia
Waiting for Gurudev
2:45 - 3:13 (28 min)
Recorded on
Surrender to the guru's lotus feet through unconditional devotion. The Sannyāsa Sūkta is practiced. This chant is dedicated to the guru. Sanskrit pronunciation and melody are crucial. Head movements aid memory. The mantra teaches that immortality is not attained by work, people, or wealth, but by renunciation alone. That immortality shines within the heart and is reached by the self-controlled. Practice the sounds diligently. "Not by work, not by your people, nor by wealth. But by renunciation alone you attain immortality." "That immortality, beyond heaven, shining within the heart, is attained by the self-controlled." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
We need Gurudev
3:20 - 4:14 (54 min)
Recorded on
The disciple must never abandon the need for the guru or the teachings, for that is the gravest error. The guru is the principle that leads from ignorance to knowledge. This Guru Tattva is the essential diamond, not the physical form, yet it is embodied to provide tangible guidance. God aids the seeker by sending the guru, who is thus revered as indispensable. The aim is to merge the individual self with the cosmic Self, like a river entering the ocean. This is the Advaita understanding, where the one supreme reality is reflected in all individuals. This merging is the true purpose of yoga, achieved through the guru's grace and teachings. The embodied form concentrates this divine energy, making darśana transformative. The state beyond the three guṇas is inexpressible; it can only be pointed to as 'not this, not that.' "The moment you think you know everything, very soon you will find yourself asking, 'Where are the bricks? Where is the parachute?'" "God will send your friend with the boat. And the Guru is here."

Story of Great Sage Narada
5:00 - 5:58 (58 min)
Recorded on
The eternal truth is Brahman; the world is a temporary illusion. Two forces, divine and demonic, perpetually struggle. Humans forget natural law, sleeping when they should awaken, becoming victims of dark qualities. Time is a human construct over vast cosmic cycles. Primordial consciousness, Swayambhū Śiva, self-manifested. From this, sound and divine light arise, beginning creation. Śiva ordains Vishnu as sustainer and Brahma as creator. Avatars appear: the rare Nimitta and the perpetual Nitya, who are the saints. Nārada, the divine messenger, questioned Vishnu about the saints on earth. Vishnu revealed they are his very Self, with no distinction between God and the saint. Lakshmī declared herself the servant of saints, stating that prosperity follows wherever they walk. To settle a debate on devotion, Vishnu and Lakshmī tested a wealthy man. Greed for Lakshmī's discarded gold caused him to disrespect the saintly form of Vishnu, proving attachment to wealth over God. The orange robe signifies the purifying fire of dawn and spiritual awakening. Perform life's sacraments to cultivate sweetness and attain liberation. "O Nārada, there is no difference between me and my saints." "Wherever my saints step on the earth, I put my palms under there." Filming location: Alexandria, USA
The Day of Saints' Meeting
6:00 - 6:27 (27 min)
Recorded on
The day of the saints' meeting is recorded. A sage would only attend Yudhiṣṭhira's sacrifice if one hundred yajñas were performed. Draupadī declared that going to meet a saint is equal to countless yajñas. The sage then agreed to come. Life has two banks: virtue and sin. One must flow like a river in devotion beyond all problems to reach the destination. The jīva is Śiva; satsaṅg merges them. Even celestial beings yearn for human birth to attain a saint. Mere eating and drinking makes one no different from animals. Therefore, perform sādhanā, chant God's name, and attend satsaṅg. Satsaṅg is the ship to cross the ocean of existence. All is in our hands to become God's beloved children and part of the Supreme. "Go to the meeting of the saints, go to the meeting of the saints." "If you go one step ahead, Koṭi Yajña or Koṭi Yajña means one thousand yajñas." Filming location: Allahabad, India
Bhajan evening in Jadan Ashram
6:30 - 6:52 (22 min)
Recorded on
The essence is the unstruck sound, the Anāhada, realized through devotion beyond form and thought. This is not an experience of the body or mind. It is beyond all attributes, beyond the forms of Rama or any shadow. It is the formless void that holds the supreme form. Neither meditation nor chanting can reach it. It is understood only through the grace of the true Guru. One must surrender at the divine feet, seeking mercy and blessings for liberation. The devotional offering is the path. "Neither meditation nor chanting can reach it." "Please bless me with your blessings, I request you, O Guru." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Bhajan evening from Jadan Ashram
7:00 - 7:37 (37 min)
Recorded on
The compassionate Lord Śiva resides within the heart and bestows liberation. He is the primal Lord whose radiance fills all universes. Taking shelter in him ends pain and brings divine happiness. He cuts the noose of bondage with his own hand and liberates the soul. Worship and meditation upon this blessing cure diseases and remove all obstacles. Success is bestowed in the heart, and one obtains everything without asking. Focus the mind on the Guru in the heart to dispel all sorrow. Through the Guru's grace, all ignorance is destroyed, revealing the true self. One who serves the True Guru never falls into hell, and all fears vanish. Merge the mind in the True Guru. "He Himself respectfully calls out to His devotees." "One who meditates on this blessing, their obstacles and troubles will not remain." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Bhajan singing from Jadan Ashram
7:45 - 8:20 (35 min)
Recorded on
The refuge lies at the divine feet. By taking refuge there, one experiences supreme truth and bliss, becoming free from the cycle of birth and death. The mind finds its steady path. The Vedas and Puranas sing of this refuge. True devotion and knowledge lead to liberation. The divine name itself brings supreme happiness. The true Guru is incomparable. "Charaṇamme Arasattati Ratahe, Vohela Purāṇamme Gāte." "Mannava Dhire Dhire Chalga, Gaṅgā Charanare Bai." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Bhajan Singing from Jadan
8:25 - 9:35 (70 min)
Recorded on
A musical offering explores devotion through raga and sacred verse. The performance weaves classical composition with devotional poetry. It presents the longing of Meera, who found divine nectar in poison. It shares Kabir's metaphor of the body as a finely woven garment dyed in divine essence. The inquiry asks who truly comes and goes in this world of light and illusion. The teaching asserts that only the true Guru's name endures, while all else is transient. The offering culminates in universal salutations to the divine in all forms. "Rana ne vish diya, mano amrit piya. Mira saagar me sarita samaane lagi." "Santa, kun re āve re, kun jāye bole re? Jaari khabar karo." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Each persons body is like the temple of God
9:40 - 10:35 (55 min)
Recorded on
The divine atmosphere is realized through Guru Bhakti. This gathering evokes the sensation of a divine realm on earth, akin to descriptions of Brahmaloka. The lineage's bhajans and teachings illuminate this perception. The physical location is sanctified, with every individual considered a temple of God through daily spiritual practice. The Yoga in Daily Life system is a comprehensive science for global welfare, designed to develop divine consciousness and harmony. Each letter of its name holds a profound meaning related to life's goal. The path requires a true Satguru, as exemplified by Śaṅkarācārya, who despite his knowledge sought a guru's guidance. The guru is the essential boat to cross the ocean of worldly existence. A guru's presence alone transmits blessing and energy, resolving all obstacles through devotion. "With Guru Bhakti, all obstacles in our lives go away, because that’s the highest Bhakti." "The guru is the boat which helps us cross from this side of the ocean to the other side."

The real yoga nidra
10:40 - 11:43 (63 min)
Recorded on
Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. We should practise real yoga nidra but in a sitting position according to Mahaprabhuji's instructions. Singing Yoga nidra bhajan. If we only sleep during yoga nidra we don't get anything. The story of a man who beat the snake with a stick in the sand. Animals also have their path and they follow it. They also have their struggles with each other. Our like is like a thorny bush with sweet fruits in it. What do we choose the ice cream or the stick? Bhajan singing.
Yoga Is In Our Destiny
11:50 - 12:54 (64 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is unity, the realization of oneness. The practice harmonizes body, mind, and soul, but its true aim is the individual soul merging with the universal soul. We exist as separate individuals due to ignorance, fluttering through lifetimes. Reality is what is unchanging—the Ātmā, the supreme truth. The changing body and world are not this ultimate reality. A yogī is one who removes the duality between the individual and universal soul, achieving union. This is self-realization. Human life is a chance for this merger. Our duty, our human dharma, is to realize this oneness through spiritual practice, serving others with mercy, and seeing the divine light in all creatures. Do not divide by race or religion. Love means wishing happiness for all. Your spiritual progress is in your hands. This life is a journey toward that final unity. "Brahma satyaṁ, jagan mithyā." "The life of the bird depends on your hands." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada
The real marriage
13:00 - 13:53 (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
We are full of resonance
14:00 - 14:54 (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

Morning program with Vishwaguruji from Sydney Ashram, Australia. Practising asanas and relaxation with Vishwaguruji.
Make a path through the forest
16:20 - 17:11 (51 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from weekend Yoga Seminar in Nadlac, Romania. Prana is stronger than the physical body. There are always problems in daily life. Partners are together for a period of time then conflicts arise - that is similar to spiritual life. We need a clear path, a sattvic (pure) life, and have to make this path through the forest. Just reading does not help us. We should change ourself inside, otherwise, time is lost. The realisation of Atma Gyana (Self-knowledge) takes more time.
Be happy be good
17:15 - 18:00 (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
Live as a Human
18:05 - 18:39 (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

The Divine Lineage of Alakpurījī: Saints, Siddhas, and the Eternal Guru
19:20 - 19:50 (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 bansuri flute
19:55 - 20:25 (30 min)
Recorded on
The dance between spiritual discipline and inner freedom is like a musician mastering a raga. An instrument delivers its own message when the musician supplies the breath and respects the rules while allowing inner expression. Our human life also has essential rules, requiring continual remembrance. I recall Raga Kiravani, which embodies this balance and evokes the Sufi tradition's beautiful discipline of continual prayer. A shared moment in an airport prayer room revealed the profound presence of devotion, transcending religion. Yet we often scrutinize spiritual discipline while freely indulging worldly habits. The Sufi whirling dance mirrors this: one hand points to the divine, the other to earth, a balance often lost in our spiritual hurry. We forget our human duty to serve, which is paramount. True practice is to become a better instrument of divine love for all. "Every instrument is just something like a human being... and the musician is only supplying the prāṇa so that the instrument can deliver what it needs to deliver." "Try to sit there for others. Try to do it so that I become a better instrument of divine love to serve all beings." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Om Sri Deveshwar Mahadevaya Namaha
20:30 - 21:03 (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

Culture gives us the human quality
23:00 - 23:47 (47 min)
Recorded on
Morning satsang from Weekend Seminar in Vep, Hungary. Culture has mighty power, like tolerance, forgiveness, respect. These are the blossoms of the cultures of different countries. Where there is a human, there is culture. It helps us to protect our dharma and reach self-realization. The highest dharma is Sanatan Dharma, it is present in all of the cultures.
