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.

Destiny is a mysterious and inescapable force. Humans cannot know the past or future, for such knowledge would bring unbearable tension. What unfolds is a play of fate, created individually yet often unavoidable. The story of Oedipus illustrates how one may try to flee destiny only to fulfill it. All must face the end of the body; death is inevitable. Yet through spiritual practice, one can transcend fear and attachment. When consciousness widens, past and future become clear, and one may realize the supreme Self beyond all suffering. Even the enlightened must relinquish the body, but a self-realized being digests time itself. We pray for the departed soul to dissolve into the cosmic light. "Humans are very intelligent and intellectual beings, but God has not given them this one ability: to know the past and to know the future." "Finally, the car will be the winner. It means death."

The subject is mental worship, or Mānasik Pūjā. This is service to the personal God, the Iṣṭadevatā, chosen by the heart. Worship is performed to draw close to God, to purify and steady the mind for meditation. God does not need worship; the practitioner needs to offer. Mental worship is considered higher than external ritual. One may worship the guru's form as the Iṣṭadevatā. The worship proceeds in the imagination, inviting the deity and making offerings. These include the five nectars: milk, yogurt, ghee, honey, and sugar, each representing purity, essence, and the senses. One offers flowers, fragrance, nuts, fruits, the ego symbolized by a coconut, and money representing desires. The ceremony concludes with āratī, lighting a lamp and incense, and offering salutations to the guru, who embodies the divine trinity. "The Mānasik Pūjā is said to be higher than the external Pūjā." "God doesn’t need our worship. We need Him to accept our offerings." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

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

The path involves awakening Kuṇḍalinī and understanding the chakras through meditation and mantra. Meditation opens inner space, while mantra acts as a guiding light to purify karma and clear future obstacles. Yoga is the science of body, mind, intellect, consciousness, and soul, allowing humans to discover hidden talents. Awakening a talent is like learning to drive; the person does not change, but an inner ability is activated. Various masters teach different techniques, but the destination of self-realization is one. There are two types of masters: one who has seen the destination and guides from experience, and another who provides only intellectual knowledge. Life is a journey. The three guṇas—sattva, rajas, tamas—affect the body and mind. Purification of inner toxins through nourishment and environment brings peace. The chakras are connected to the endocrine glands and nerves, maintaining bodily balance. A true master diagnoses an individual's nature and prescribes a specific mantra for remedy. Kuṇḍalinī is the dormant feminine energy at the base of the spine. The Mūlādhāra Chakra is the foundation, associated with past karma. The navel center, Maṇipūra, is where life begins and where Prāṇa and Apāna unite to awaken Kuṇḍalinī. The lotus symbolizes purity and detachment, growing in mud but remaining unstained. "A mantra is like a torchlight to walk through the darkness." "Tons of theory are nothing compared with a grain of practice." Filming location: USA

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 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

India, Winter 2004/2005. Report about the winter tour of Swamiji in India.

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

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

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 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."

Yoga in Daily Life Class of Level 3 at Sri Devpuriji Ashram, Zagreb, Croatia, January 2011

Yoga is the science of body, mind, spirit, and soul. Every practice has a purpose. Begin by relaxing in Ānandāsana with palms up to open the chest and lower the shoulders. Legs apart relaxes the pelvis. Abdominal breathing massages organs and calms emotions. Practice always within comfort, never forcing. Pavanamuktāsana stretches the spine and stimulates digestion. Marjari Āsana mobilizes the spine; let movement guide breath into harmony. Paścimottānāsana stretches from the perineum upward, affecting the Maṇipūra Cakra. Prasārita Pādottānāsana works the inner legs and digestion. Jānu Śīrṣāsana brings the body into balance through equal practice on both sides. Mṛgāsana strengthens the knees and calms the nervous system. After postures, rest in Ānandāsana to feel the effects on circulation, breath, and consciousness. "Allow the movement to cause the air to enter and the movement to cause the air to exit. In that way, in the fastest possible manner, we remove stress." "Āsanas do not act only on the body. They are also a correction of our behavior; they act on our consciousness." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

States of consciousness reveal our inner and outer life. Waking activity is for the outer world, using all energy from sunrise to sunset. In sleep, we are within ourselves, aware of the inner self filled with divine feeling. This sleep is not nothing; it is a vital awareness given by God. Deep sleep is being one hundred percent aware of the self, comfortable and peaceful. The dream state contains things within ourselves, both good and bad. A constant alertness exists between these states. Therefore, sleeping is very important. A higher level is Yoga Nidrā, a sleep of consciousness toward the Supreme, practiced by yogis. "In sleeping, we were within ourselves. Our whole being is with us, filled with very, very divine feelings." "What this sleep means is that we are 100% aware of our self, and so it is very comfortable, relaxed, and peaceful." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A nourishing Falahārī meal is prepared, emphasizing ingredients and spices for health. The Falahārī diet uses only fruits and vegetables, excluding grains, potatoes, and bananas. Sweet potato is permitted and supports cardiovascular health. Turmeric is essential for liver function and detoxification. Unrefined oils like olive oil are used, as some vitamins require fat for absorption. Spices such as black mustard seeds cleanse channels and stimulate digestion. Coconut milk cools the body. Pumpkin seed bread uses psyllium as a binding agent. Yellow mung dal is the only lentil allowed, as it builds bodily tissues. Tapioca kheer is made with milk and cardamom. A soup of carrots and beetroot creates strength and iron in the blood, finished with a tarka of garlic, ajwain, and cumin. A salad is dressed with olive oil, lemon, and salt. "Turmeric is a very important spice for us because it greatly influences liver function, improves digestion, and helps clean the body from toxins." "In the Falahārī diet, you eat only vegetables and fruits; you do not eat wheat, potatoes, or bananas. But you can use sweet potatoes because it comes from another family of vegetables."

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.

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
